TORI MAKANAKI (Editing)

Chapter One - The Interview

It was a sunny morning and Tori was already late for the Interview she had that morning. She regretted wearing a turtle-necked top as it made her really hot.

She got to Agip bus stop and a crowd was seen. People going to work, for school run, their business places and those hawking petty things. She waited impatiently for a bus to arrive.

A car was honking.
"Was it for her?" She thought.
The car drove closer to her and a young man looking like he is in his mid-thirties was gesturing at her to get her attention. She looked away. He rolled down his glass so he could talk to her.

"Ello miss,can I drop you off where you are going? You are too pretty to be out under this sun and I don't want you melting out like an ice cream you are " he said almost immediately as he flashed a smile.
"I will pass, thanks" Tori replied with an unintentionally nodding of her head.

"Please pretty, he kept on pleading. She quickly repeated herself and walked away."

He was surprised because ladies almost never refused a ride in his Benz.
As Austin sped away, he knew there was something special about that girl.
"Woooooow, I'm blown away" he thought aloud, she is so beautiful and her attitude tops her beauty. I should have gotten her contact. I Love her!.

Oh shit, Austin that was too sudden, he said as he slapped his cheeks.

"You are going too fast man".

Tori got to Adesuwa Junction and entered a bike going to Lily Children Academy where she needs to be before 8:15am.

"Oga abeg hurry up, I got an appointment I'm not suppose to miss please" she urged him.
"Eh madam, if I speed more than this , you will fall off this bike ".

Eehn i wanna fall, hurry" she replied.
"OK then".

The harmattan breeze blew her hair backwards as she was taken to the school.
She got to the gate of LILY and saw a post at the door saying 'Mr. Philips office', she went in and a lady in her early forties, huge and wearing a reading glasses was at a desk by the corner of the room.
She assumed she was the secretary and she was right.
" What can I do for you young lady?" she asked with a loud tone while eying her suspiciously.
'She must be one of those young girls trying to see him as usual in the office'
she thought.

"Good morning Ma, please I am looking for Mr Phil____" . She was cut short before she could complete her request.

A tall black man came in with a little protruding tummy dressed in a red polo and a Jean trouser that was so tight on him.
"Miss Tori, you have an interview with me right?".
"Yes sir. I'm sorry I'm late".
"It's alright, kindly come into my office".

They went into a light green spacious office with an office desk made of solid oak wood and a system on it. At the side of each wall, a wall shelf with books and files arranged neatly on it.
She sat down on one of the couches facing the table. Underneath her shirt, you can see the rise and fall of her chest as she was very tensed.

Austin has gotten to Laura's school.

LILY CHILDREN ACADEMY.
Laura is just four years old. Her mother died while giving birth to her and since then he has been the one taking care of her. He did not remarry. He is a wealthy man. He works in an oil company as part of the shareholders and Managing director too.
He couldn't take the girl at the bus stop earlier today off his mind.
The curves of her lips and the way her hips swayed while she walked blew his mind. Her attitude tripped him and he can't go a minute without her image switching up in his head.
" GOOOOOOSSSHHHHH,who is she? I want to see her again.!!! " he screamed loudly to himself as he was alone in his car.

Tori gets home and walks into the kitchen to get a glass of orange juice. She decides to wash the few dirty dishes. As she washes her mind drifts back to the guy that offered her a ride in the morning.
The image of his face that morning came into clear view like she was looking at him. He was extremely good-looking and had curly hair like that of a baby that she wishes that her fingers can run through and green eyes that makes a woman melt if she was looked upon. His lips............his lips. . . . . .she couldn't find words to describe it but she thought it can work wonders perfectly. If not for the way he stared at her like she was some hamburger meant for eating, she could have accepted the offer but she was wondering if he was married because of the little girl behind the car.
"Maybe he's married" she said aloud to herself.
"Who?" Abigail asked as she walked in.

"God!!!! You scared me Abby" Tori screamed turning around. Abigail was tori's immediate younger sister. She just gained admission into Benson Idahosa University studying Banking and Finance. Abby was the nickname their mom before she passed away do call her.
"I didn't mean to. I saw the gate opened and the porch door wasn't locked". She said.

"so how did your interview go?" Abby asked as she brought out a pack where she put spaghetti she was going to eat for lunch. She put all in a plate and took it to the microwave to heat it up. Tori smiled up at her sister. 'I made It!!!'.
    
          "Yes.yes.yes. Am so happy for you sis." Abby said and began jumping in excitement. She really needed her to get a job cause she had to stop  her sales management job at a supermarket in order to go to school so now Tori has gotten a job,she can assist in paying up her fees or any other expenses for school.

"Thank you" Tori replied.
      'Am doing all this because of us.I don't want us disturbing uncle or aunty for anything again" Tori said.

             'Why dont we go out and celebrate " Abby said as she goes to her room to apply make-up .
"Sure" Tori replies happily and goes in to change.
