Chapter 3 - Complicated

[Miss. Anna was just complicated]

[Sophia snickers]

"Hey, don't snicker about this, I am really serious here, Sophia. " [Anna]

"Yeah, I am sorry Anna, and you know me and my jokes already. But this really sounds funny though. But sorry. Hey, just look at me. I am working here doesn't mean my two little daughters will also grow up and work in a coffee shop just like their mom did some years ago, my love. Just allow that little boy to play and guide him as his sweet mother, OK?" [Sophia]

" Hmm," you have a point, my dear. But still hoping he does not end up just like his irresponsible father, nobody knows where he is now." [Anna]

" Wow, it really sounds clear that you've not even mentioned to Lefah that his dad was an NBA player in the 90s my love?" [Sophia]

" "Huh?" and what did you want me to do, my love? Do you want me to tell my son? Oh, no, Sophia, I'll never do that. Like I never want that kid to know anything about that man please. And I am sorry for my son." [Anna]

"Okay, Anna. I really respect your decision, my dear. Yeah, and like I said, don't worry much and once my loving kid is in high school, he will soon complete and turn into a big man and start taking care of my best friend right here. So, focus on my little kid now and see my love." [Sophia]

" Sure, and that's what I have been doing nowadays, Sophia. I don't have time to think about his father again."

[Ding!]

[Message alerts sounded on Sophia's cell phone.]

"Hey, is that your man?" [Anna]

"Will you "shut up", what man? So, you've not changed yet. Just look at her. Is that your man? Asking her big sister such a silly question." [Sophia]

Laughter!

"Yeah, I have to ask my love. Okay fine, and I think I didn't ask clear questions. So, here we go with my question again. Is that our husband?"

Sophia Laugh louder!

"Hey, just get out. I am not in the mood for your jokes, my love. Just have a look at my phone. And that's my boss, actually. And he just sent a message to ask what is really going on here. All because he hasn't come to work for the last two weeks."

" Wow, I guess how good your boss is, Sophia. But you know-- I didn't have such a nice person just like your boss." [Anna]

Sophia sighed.

" Hey, that's fine my love and everything will be fine Anna. Just come down, okay?"

"Okay Sophia, I understand."

" Okay and thank you for coming when I visited you in Anna. I really appreciate you, my love. Hope to see you next time at the weekends please."

"Okay, that's fine. Hey, but I can't promise you for sure, but I'll try and come around anytime in my off days at work, Sophia."

"Oh, okay. That's fine and I understand you. Hey, what if I come to your workplace, Anna?"

"Okay, but I don't know if it won't be a problem for my boss, Sophia." Hey, I'll send you my house address later for you to come home, Sophia."

"Okay, Anna. But I can't wait to see your boss one day."

Both Laughing

"And I'll never let you see my boss, for you to take your crazy attitude to face him. Hey, lady. I like my job please. Or will you give me another job if I allow you to beat my boss, Sophia?"

Both Laughing

"Hey, I am not coming to your workplace to do anything stupid, my love, but just to tell him my opinion about how he's treating my loving sister is not good."

"And don't you think doing that would surely sound like stupidity to his listening, my dear sister? Please let me manage that place for now, Sophia. And I know you want the best for me. Just allow him to do whatever he wants to do. I'm used to it now."

"Okay, darling. I really enjoyed your time here. Hope to see you next time, my Anna."

"Hey, ladies. Sorry for the interpretation, but I'm really indeed of Sophia's assistance on something please. Miss. Sophia, please come with me, just want to show you something." [James]

"Okay, James. I'll come and see you soon please, just take the lead, okay?"

"Okay, Miss. Sophia. I'll be waiting inside please. [James]

"Hey, hey, who's this young man, Sophia?"

"Yeah, and I know by all means you will surely ask about James. I really know my loving friend right here. Just look at her pretty face. Hey, hope that kid doesn't look like his father?"

"And how are you expecting me to answer this question, Sophia?" [Anna]

"Oh, whatever Anna." [Sophia]

Both Laughing

" Mm-hm." So, why didn't you tell me about James before asking Sophia? If you really know, I'll surely ask about him."

Both Laughing

"Oh whatever, That's James, and he is my boss's little brother who used to be around if my boss is not in. Yeah, James doesn't normally come here. But once in a while."

"Oh, okay. But he's a cool guy and cutie looking."

"Oh, I see. And I hope you're not in love already. Just feel free and tell me because you have been single for years now, my love. Or you're just giving a compliment?"

"Hey, I think I have to go now, Sophia. Enough with your jokes. Me? In love. Of course, no Sophia. I just like how he talks and nothing like I am in love please."

"Oh, wow. Just like? --- And all these sweet words to him. Okay, fine, but let me tell you, he is also single and looking for ladies like you to go out with and that's what he told me the last time we chatted."

"Okay, fine. Hey, it's time and I have to run home now, Sophia. Yeah, -- I have to go and prepare something for that little kid before he returns home."
