Boyfriend for a weekend

#1Tony Okoye

"What??? Daddy!!"
Prudencia Naidoo practically yelled into the phone. She couldn't believe her ears

"It was just a question Prue"
Vincent Naidoo( her father) tried to calm her down.

"Which type of question is that? How can you ask me if I am a lesbian??" Prudencia rebuked,not a bit calm

"OK then. What is your problem? If you can't tell me then meet a psycho"
Mr Vincent suggested though he secretly hoped she will choose the first option and tell him what was wrong.

"Dad I am perfectly alright,I dont need a psycho and hell no! I am not a lesbian. Thanks for your kind concern"
Prudencia reassured her father though with a touch of sarcasm beneath

"Then why are you delaying?? Prue you are 26,still jobless ,not mentioning the fact that you are single. Just look at your junior sister Sarah,she has....

" OK OK Daddy" Prudencia cut him mid sentence. She knew his quote about her perfect sister's life will last at least an hour and she could already feel anger boiling beneath her chest. She will have to end this conversation before she said something stupid that will dissapoint or tan the already poor image she had before her father.
"Dad I will call you later,I am busy" she pursued trying to sound calm

"Prudencia Naidoo" her father yelled her full names in anger
"Dont you dare hang up on..."

It was followed by the click sound of her dropping the call. She let out a heavy sigh not knowing what to do about him anymore. Immediately, the phone sprang back to life with *Flavour baby na yoka* ringtone

"Aarrrrrggg" Prudencia roared before angrily picking up the call without checking the callers ID
"Dad! Dad! Just let me breath please! You can continue the sermon tomorrow!"

"Take it easy Prue"

Prudencia immediately recognised the voice of Bessem her best friend and let out a little grumble.

"Let me guess,you were still fighting with your old man again?" Bessem guessed right

"Yeah,I swear he is driving me crazy!! Its like I have to attend anger management classes!"
Prudencia exclaimed frustrated. She has had enough of her fathers ceaseless chorus regarding her *single status. She was 26 and should be left to decide on her own.why couldn't he give her a break??

"Take it easy dear" Bessem shared in her friends greif though she wasn't best placed to understand Prudencia's dilemma. She was married and a mother of two kids and curiously she was just a year older than Prudencia. But Prudencia loved her for her encouragement and friendship,they were like sisters already.

"Anyway I called to ask about the interview,how is it going?" Bessem asked

"Actually I am still in the taxi cab. Hmmm but am a little scared Bessem" Prue admitted

"Come on it is just an interview!" Bessem reassured her with a tone which said she had repeated this phrase more times than she will have liked to.

But to Prudencia,this interview meant a whole lot more. She was badly in need of this job. It wouldn't only do good to her almost empty bank account but to her self esteem too. She had been made to believe that she was a looser in all aspects and compared to her sisters,Sarah especially, she was the worst out come of the 3 Naidoo girls. At 26 she was single.......to hell with the *single status!
what bothered her most was that she was jobless! Was recently fired.Not having this job will mean going back to her home town to affirm her fathers p.o.v of she being worthless. But who will she turn to??
She had Bessem but she couldn't bother her and her growing family. Hmmmmm

Ex boy friends weren't the best option to turn to when you had problems. Especially in her case and that demon of *Walter Ike. Just the name was enough to send shivers down her spine .
"No never!! I rather die of hunger and cold than ever see that son of a devil again!" Prudencia said in a fit of anger.
Sadly life had thought her love the hard way.No bed of roses to lie on.Infact,it seemed like other people's thorns were being added to hers..Her relationship with Walter had shattered her heart to pieces even though she was slowly recovering but not enough to trust any man again.

Prudencia pushed all those negative thoughts away as she got out of the taxi. No minute to waste!she wasn't going to be late for the interview. With that thought,she sprinted to the elevator and impatiently waited for it to reach the 12th floor. It seemed to be taking eternity....

"Speaking to your self honey?"
Prudencia looked up and met the good looking young man who had just spoken. He was barely 30 she guessed. His grey suit fit his slimly built body to perfection.

Tony awaited impatiently for her soft gaze to trail up and meet his. His patience was rewarded as he stared into a pair of brown eyes ,under dark sweeping eye lashes,curls of dark hair that framed an oval face uniformed to her sensual brown caramel skin colour ,and those perfectly round plumb lips. She was completely flawless.He had never been so fired up at the sight of a woman

Disarmingly unaware of the havoc she was causing in the strangers brain,Prue kept her thoughts on her sole objective: The interview

"Hi baby,what's your name?" Tony tried engaging a conversation but was dismissed by a no reply from Prudencia. She had enough of these lose men hitting on her. Finally the door flew open,12 floor.
"Prudencia" Prue finally replied

"Pretty name for a pretty lady. Will try to remember in case I attend a baby naming ceremony" The stranger said trying to play funny but Prue was in no mood to play the game. Her reply was rather harsh

"Please dont,it will give a chance for ignorants to hit(flirt)on her"
With that she hurriedly left for her interview venue..

"Is Mr Tony Okoye in?" She asked the girl at the reception after formal greetings

"Do you have a rendezvous?" The girl asked and Prue affirmated. After that,the girl checked in her name

"Please do have a seat. Mr Okoye has not yet arrived" the girl informed Prue who hesitantly took a seat. She was about to fumble with some beauty magazine on the table when she heard footsteps. As Prue raised her dark eyes and met Mr Tony Okoye,her heart paused. It was the same guy whom she had replied to rudely at the elevator. It seems her Karma had not wasted much time to go round,Prue thought bitterly
