I ended up going for the interview that same day but it was not really an interview as the boss just told me to come back for the interview proper the following week. I went home that day thinking of the interview and reasoning what Benjis friend had told me. I was really happy Benji had contacted me for the new job but then, I need to do what needs to be done. I prepared my mind for the interview and also typed my resignation letter in my brain. I knew there was no going back, I’m putting my egg all in one basket.

I had settled down to sleep that night when a call came into my phone, I had already saved the number, “Sandra”. I picked the call and the following conversation ensued:


Sandra: I could not get my mind off you after speaking to you this afternoon, I had been battling with myself since not to call you but seems like you won.

(smiling sheepishly to myself)

Me: Its owk, I was also thinking bout you and you know, hoping to see you again.

Sandra: Me too. Why don’t we meet this weekend?
(shocked at the open invitation but quickly pushed it behind my mind as my preek nodded in approval)

Me: Are you sure about that? You know, we are still kinda strangers.

(I was speaking phoney but then, I gats impress na)

Sandra: Ok, why don’t you tell me about yourself so when we meet again we won’t be strangers.

(I scratched my head, my J0yst!ck persisted)

Me: Alright if you insist. I am…

(started talking about myself making the conversation fun)

Sandra: Weekend then?

Me: Yes weekend. Bye

Weekend was only the next day. I smiled as I adjusted my pillow and went to dream land dreaming about the smooth laps and soft b0s0m I had touched in the car.
