Chapter 17: A sit out at the Park
While working out with Emilia I saw a disgusting face that almost made me puke, when I saw him walking towards me, I stopped and paused for a while and wanted to boycott him by turning back and finding somewhere to just hide because I never wanted to have a chat with him because he disgusts me and his presence alone irritates me.
“What is it and why did you suddenly stop,”? Emilia asked.
“No nothing, I am good,” I said.
“I don’t think it’s nothing like you said, and why is that guy smiling and walking towards you,”? Emilia asked.
“Don’t know, neither do I have an idea on why he is smiling at me, when he knows we are not in good talking times,” I said not knowing when I admitted to getting to know him.
“I said it, it doesn't look like nothing when I saw the way he was smirking and plastering a smile on his face,” she said.
“What are you talking about, I never said anything, and neither did I admit to knowing him, please let's just turn back and probably just go home for we have juggled enough,” I said.
“But you just did, you just admitted to knowing him, so tell me who is he,”? She asked as he draws closer.
“He is no one of importance,” I said. As he draws closer.
“Hey Cynthia how are you and how have you been,”? Sam asked.
“I am good and as you can see,” I said.
“That is nice, and I can see it all over that you are fine,” he said.
“Then why ask since you already know and saw with your own eyes,”? I asked.
He burst into laughter “ I know but courtesy demands I asked even knowing too well that you are fine,” he said.
“Well thanks for asking and as you can see I am with a friend and we doing some little light exercise,” I said.
“Yeah that I know and you didn't even introduce me to your friend,” he said.
“I don't think it's necessary, you getting to know her or me introducing her to you, please I bet to take my leave,” I said.
“Please Cynthia I would to talk to you, if you can just lend me some minutes of your time say five to ten minutes will be okay by me,” he said.
“I have heard you, but the time is what I don't have now, as you can see someone is waiting for me, I must leave now, if you want to talk to me you have my cell number call me then we can fix a day for that,” I said.
“Okay, that will be nice thanks for your time,” he said.
“And you are welcome,” I said and walked away and met with Emilia and she kept pestering me into telling him who Sam was.
“Common talk to me who was the guy,”? Emilia asked.
“I have told you before he is no one”, I said.
“But he doesn't look like no one and the way you responded and the manner at which he was just smiling at you,” she said.
“It's a free world and we are allowed to smile at whoever we wanted,” I said.
“Well I think he is kind, nice and very handsome,” Emilia said.
“What don't you even think that, he is the worst person on earth,” I said.
“But you said you don't know him,”? Emilia asked.
“Okay if you insist fine and good but we need a place to sit and talk 'cause I don't wanna talk about him here,” I said.
“Okay, that won't be a problem,” she said.
As we both looked for a place to sit and don't know how to bring me to tell her who Sam was and what transpired between us, I just sat there and be looking like a dumb person.
“So I am waiting for you to talk to me, I am listening, who was the guy,” she said.
“His name is Sam and he was my boyfriend and we dated for almost two years plus,” I said.
“And,” she asked plastering a smile on her face, I can't help but tell her the truth because I see she is falling for his cute charming smiles already.
“I am sorry to say this, I know you are beginning to like him and falling for his cute and charming smile, he is good at that and that's what he uses in receiving girls,” I said.
“What, what are you talking about, and who told you I am falling for him,”? She asked.
“Emilia, I don't know you that much and I neither do I need a suesayer to tell me that, the way you are inquisitive and want to inquire about him depicts the fact that I am right, just as you are about your brother and me,” I said.
“Hmmm I said it, I said it and I know that I was never wrong, so why try to hide the feelings,”? She asked.
“We are not talking about me here, we are talking about you, and Sam is a cheat, lie and sex addict and someone like you doesn't need a scumbarg like Sam,” said.
“Well thanks for the advice and now to you why are you hiding your feelings for my brother your boss,”? She asked.
“I am just trying to play save and never experience what I experienced in the hands of Sam, and I want any man that I will have my first will be the man for me,” I said.
With a surprising look on her face and trying to laugh but couldn't laugh out clearly but used her hands to prevent herself from laughing out loud.
“Sorry please forgive me, did I just hear you clearly and could understand you, like you have not been into sex and you are still a virgin,”? Emilia asked.
“What's funny about that,” I said.
“No it is not funny, but rather very difficult to see a lady at this twenty-first century and at your age that is still a virgin, not even a sixteen-year-old girl now is a virgin,” she said.
“You said so, but actually I am and I haven't been into sex before and I don't even know how it feels,” I said.
“Will you quit saying this, it ain't funny. Hey, common you must be joking right,”? She asked.
“No, I am not, why would I be or do you think I am proud telling people that an old woman as old as I am is still a virgin, do you,” I said.
“Oh I am sorry, I never meant to sound so rude,” said Emilia.
“It's nothing, so tell me about Isabella and your brother, were they involved and why do you seem not to like her,” I asked.
“Uhh, that, I don't think I am in a state to talk about it now,” she said.
“But why, I want to know, please,” I said.
“Well if you insist but know this that there's nothing of importance, but if you insist you want to know fine,” she said.
“Yes, I want to know, so I don't get caught up in the middle,” I said.
“Alright Isabella is a family friend, her father and our father has been a business partner for long now, and it happened that she's lose and don't have control over her urge for men, but she has been onto Bob for as long as I can remember, but he has been resisting her. And one day my fiancee came around and she happens to around as well and we were all chatting and having fun and I stepped out just for some seconds and when I came back she's already onto him and he fell for her and that was it, but if for her and Bob naaaa that's all I can say,” she said.
Hearing that I felt this butterfly on my tummy, I smiled and muttered withing me this the type of man I need. But the smile was imminent that Emilia noticed it.
“What's the smile all about,”? She asked.
“What! What smile, who was smiling,”? I asked.
“What, you have been smiling like a lady who is been wooed by her long time crush,” she said.
“No, but I wasn't smiling,” I said.
“Yes you are,” she said.
“I am not, common I think we have heard enough of the work out and it's time to go home I need to go wash myself and rest because tomorrow is another with the boss,” I said.
“Hmm, the boss and the Secretary, I call this the boss’s secretary,” she said.
“Stop it,” I said as we both burst into laughter, there we sat for a while and enjoyed the cool morning breeze that sank into our skin and after some time now decides to go home and take a shower and got something to eat and that same morning say around eleven-thirty Emilia left the house without notice to where she was going and her phone was off and that left Bob so diversitated.
