My Twelve Random Dates

Chapter Twelve: Tears

Day twelve part one

I felt strange after the seventh time I called David and didn't get any response, I texted him so many times. My phone couldn't stay at a place because I kept turning it to check if David had replied.

It had been a week after my date with Johnson and mother had sent me on an errand at my aunt's place. I would have gone over to David's to check up on him but I needed to help mother out first. Mother being heavy with child made me pregnant and expectant as well.

I would rub her feet, sometimes her tummy just to make her feel comfortable. The baby was going to be not just the center of attention to the whole family but also a mandate revoked.

"Biko when you get home, tell your mother to eat more of fruits, she should not joke with her medication. She's advanced so this pregnancy might not be as easy as yours and your sisters. Get her to move about not just to sit at a place inugo"my aunt said

I had gone to pick important supplies for mother, to stock her shop with. Her travels had been halted and I was slowly taking over. Ada was quite busy with chores and studies but would also help me out in her own little way.

Laura also came by frequently to supply me with gist, taunt me over little things.
My inner thought well was still the same annoying, overly sarcastic, never encouraging, foul mouthed personality.

Staying at my aunt's meant more time to worry about David. At the seventh day I was more than thrilled to leave my aunt's place.

What if something bad happened to David?  You know they are rich, could he have encountered robbers or kidnappers?

Inner thought: Do you have a ring on your finger? 🤔🤔

Me: No why?

Inner thoughts:😩😩😩Quit acting like his wife already, it is exhausting to answer your questions. It could be that he's fine and he's just been to busy to call you know.

Me: too busy, maybe but too busy to text me. I don't think that makes sense
Inner thoughts: Thank God we're going to his house once we settle with mom. So that you can let me have peace.

I dropped by mothe's shop and arranged the supplies, took down the names of customers that were in need of the supplies. Once I was done I rushed to hail a cab to take me to David's. I didn't know why there were few cabs around but I managed to get one after I had begged the other driver tirelessly

I kept staring at my phone, hoping that a text would pop up but nothing came up.

I wasn't aware of the other person beside me and when he reached out for my hand, I almost yelled at him.
my mouth hung open and I reached out and hugged him. It was George (the little man)

" I'm not yet a famous celebrity and beautiful women are already throwing themselves at me" he said winking

I couldn't help but laugh at his funny  way of speaking

"I'm not usually mean to ladies, but you look horrible! What have you been up to? You look like a woman who was deserted by her husband "he continued

Inner thought:😂😂😂😂This is why I love this guy.

Me: You do know that by you, he means you and I. Which means we look horrible

Inner thoughts: 🙄🙄🙄All thanks to you, waiting up at night expecting messages from smoked lips

How have you been George?  Any new thing going on? I've been really busy lately so I'm not surprised that I look like an ogre" I manged to say

"Things are looking up, managed to land myself a role in this big movie coming up, They simply couldn't resist my charms. I am such a magnificent creature "
