Those words I saw from the note kept ringing on my head. Some one is loving me from afar,
wow 😲, really wow!!.
I brushed away the feelings of thinking about the mystery man and keep pushing daily on my normal schedule.
I noticed any day I go to work with food, I won't receive any snacks gift but any day I fail to, I will see a dispatch rider delivering me milky doughnuts, some times jell off rice, peanut butter, and sometimes grill meat with chilled yoghurt.
I said no one time hoping to know the sender but the delivery guy said the sender preferred to be anonymous.
Well I'm so much enjoying this treatment and never wish to end.
As for my colleagues at work ,my mystery man keeps giving them dog food back to back, they never cease to talk and always went home with angry face.

Few months later as I was about going to work I saw my cute neighbor with traveling bag and was about traveling back to his base. He scrutinized me from up to down before entering a tricycle that drove off immediately while I entered one to my work place.
I don't know why I'm suddenly feeling this emptiness and awkwardness. Why did he have to go back. I was happy seeing him daily although we didn't talk on a normal. Seeing him alone do make me feel happy and better.
I was so moody at work that day that even when the delivery guy came I didn't want to accept anything.
He first handed a 🌹 flower and a piece of paper to me before giving me what he brought. I went inside after signing to show it has been received.
I opened the small paper note and read by heart( I SHALL BE AWAY FOR SOME TIME, WORK CALLS AND MAN NEEDS TO WORK. CONTINUE TO BE THE GOOD GIRL THAT YOU'RE. MAKE SURE YOU PAY ATTENTION IN CLASS. MISS YOU IN A BIT.)
Wait!!!!!!!!!!
hope it's not what I'm thinking????
could he be the mystery man behind my lunch??
no way.....
why him?
why does he chooses to play this hard with me?.
at least I would have said thank you those times I do see him after work.
And I don't even know his name or have his number. Does he think I'm an hard nut to crack?
shiiiit!!!!!! I exclaimed hitting my cubicle.
I couldn't eat lunch and I knew my colleagues thought me and the mystery man had issues but I don't care. I took the food home making sure to keep it in my room as I'm not ready to answer questions from my parents.
That night after cooking I had my bath, bid my parents goodnight and went to my room, nothing gives me joy than cruising alone at my small space with my phone or books.
I ate the snacks he sent me and went to bed.
Lately I've been ignoring my WeChat messages especially from my male friends, just want to focus on work, give in my best and make sure to excel perfectly.
That night I dreamt about Goddy(my friend) going really physical with me. We fought hard and he said I should never contact him again, I should stay on my lane and never to dare mention his name again.
I woke up asking myself why I had such dream when I wasn't thinking of parting our friendship. I logged in to WhatsApp and his messages pop up.
Goddy best: Are you seeing someone Best girl and I'm yet to know?
Goddy best: Hope it's not a sugar daddy as I'm hearing?
Goddy best: Who the hell is he that keeps sending you gifts?
Goddy best: Are you ignoring me? I didn't expect you would keep a secret from me. I'm so angry right now.
I read the messages and nothing occur to me to give him any explanation because I don't owe him one. How would I start telling him who the sender is, well some things are better left unsaid.
He called immediately after I viewed the chat without dropping any reply, I picked the call listening to his query's.
"Goddy I don't know what you're talking about and besides why are you angry?. Ask the person who told you to disclose the sender. I'm a normal girl just like everyone else's. Stop being paranoid."
I hung up the call after giving him the short piece of my mind. I'm too tired to start clearing off the air. Why is he acting so weird?
I liked him so much to be just a friend despite having a girlfriend but not anymore, if my mystery man show forth I'm so going to accept him after all he is not my mother or father to query me? What right does he have to determine what should or shouldn't go on with my life?
For twenty years of my life I haven't gave in to love, I have no idea what it feels to love and be loved. I'm so ready to experience that and nothing would change that.
I've seen and heard some of my female friends bragging about love, some married their prince charming and some chases their dream just like me but why was mine different. No serious suitor or am I that ugly?
I doubt it if I'm ugly because I ranked one of the prettiest during my school days. I'm not bragging but it's damn true. Now that luck wants to shine on me Goddy thought I owe him an explanation. So pissed...
