It was my turn and I was contemplating who would help carry on my head. I was about calling one of the girls there when he offered to help.
I allowed him help me and said thank you afterwards. He only nodded without responding.
What a heck with a nod this guy?
As many times I go back to fetch water I noticed the girls there crushing over him and he was acting as one cold CEO who's not in the mood to say nothing.
He acted as if none of them existed but kept on glaring affectionately at me. I caught him many times looking at me and he would just smiled and looked away. My cheeks flushed at the pleasure I'm getting.
I looked away too but my heart keeps beating fast. OMG!!! Why am I feeling this way?
And why is he looking at me? I can really feel my cheeks turning red. Well let me hurry and go back first before I loose my mind. As I increased my pace going on I noticed someone following me steadily and I turned back to see him following me.
Of course since we're neighbors we ought to take the same route.
I hastily branched my compound at least I will have my peace of mind back.

That day I submitted my resignation letter to the school, I can't continue to teach there because I won't be able to cope as I will be going for apprenticeship plus going for weekend school for my cert.
My parents want me to learn how to master in sewing and become professional. My dream is to be well known as the best designer and to work in one of the best fashion hubs.
There's one of the best fashion homes abit closer to my hometown that is the best and I heard you follow processes to get employed there.
By God's grace I shall be rounding up the two by the end of two years and I can't wait.
***********************
My work place wasn't really closer to my home and I do go with food but that day nothing was at home. I rushed out to work without waiting any longer. If I mistakenly delay my mom would want me to fix something for my siblings.
When it was lunch time I received a package from a delivery guy and he explained the sender pleaded I should never say no and should never starve myself.
I opened the package to see mouth watery dessert, ice cream and a small note which boldly stated,
"ENJOY YOUR LUNCH MY LADY, HAVE IN MINE SOMEONE IS LOVING YOU FROM AFAR".
Wow!!!! who could it be, my bestie?, no he's not romantic.
Dan who has been crushing on me? absolutely no he's broke to stupor.
David my childhood friend?, no he's still learning trade and doesn't have money.
Divine? no!.
Ezra? no! that one is too self centered.
Bigsam? no!,
Penile? no! he is well known for his stinginess since high school.
Teddy? no! but who the hell is he?
My mind was just playing games on me and I can't figure out who the person is.
How can you be anonymous and sent those expensive dessert. Well I can't waste time any longer let me enjoy my self this time being, I don't know if I will get this again anytime soon.
My colleagues were just looking at me and some were gossiping me but I don't care.
From where I sat I heard a few of what they were saying although more like whispering.
"Look at her, small girl with big god, who knows what she did overnight to warrant such snacks"
"Who knows if she is seeing someone's daddy"
"Yeah you're right, who except he's buoyant enough can afford to buy some expensive dessert from the Best Cuisine Royale"
"I've been suspecting this girl from onset"
"I never liked her one bit and seeing this just turn off my little likeness for her"
"That's the reason why she didn't come with food, I'm sure she was expecting this but acted so surprised, pretender."
" Well lemme manage my low budget bean cakes, I cannot come and k#ll myself."
"You all are jobless and jealous, let the poor girl breath", I heard Eva forbade them. She has been the only nice one amongst them since I came not minding if I am below her age or not. I devoured the dessert without any dulling moment or letting the hate threat got into me. I want to trained my self to ignored any slightest thing that would pushed me to do the worse.
**********************
That day after work and school I still had this thought of eating what I received earlier without seeing the sender. I made sure to WeChat all my male friends to see if anyone of them knew about it but none said anything about it and I zero my mind to keep in track to ask the sender next time.
Those words I saw from the note kept ringing on my head. Some one is loving me from afar,
wow 😲, really wow!!.
