âOkay,

âOooh my!!!â Veronica said after laughing for two minutes straight, with Michael smiling at her â Those kids are awesome, lively, pla-yful and loveableâ She said as she opened her closet, they both walked in.
âYou could say that againâ Michael replied âHow have you been doing??â He asked.
âVery fineâ
âAnd him???â Michael asked smiling wildly referring to his motherâs sweetheart, Jimi.
âOooh, he is fine as wellâ She answered blu-shing.
âOooh my goodness!!! Mom!???â Michael squealed happily.
âSt©p shoutingâ she said smiling at her son who shook his head and win-ked at his mother âYeah, Ademi, I nee-d fuel in my car, I want you to help me get the fuel because the workers all have their day offâ
âThat explains why everywhere is quiet, OK no problemâ
âI want you to buy from a p@rticular girl, the filing station isâŠâ She describes it âThe girl saved me from been harmed and robbe-d, I really like her personalityâ She said and chuckled.
âReally??â Michael asked as he looked at his motherâs closet with satisfaction.
âYeah, she saved me.. This is what happened..â Veronica explained how she was saved from been robbe-d.
âSimilar personalityâ Michael murmured as he remembered Becca.
âYou said???â Veronica asked.
âOh nothing, I will buy from herâ Michael answered.
âHer name is Becca, Queen Becca, Queen of the streetâ Veronica said laughing as she remembered Becca, Michael was stunned and excited but he covered it up.
âHmmm⊠Okay, let me get going, so I will get back earlyâ Michael said as his excitement is almost becoming visible.
âOkay, be careful and take care, be back on time tooâ Veronica said as the both of them move out of the room with Nica putting on a light and not all transparent go-wn with p@rted in both sides over her the clothes she was putting on.
âYeah I willâ Michael said â Guys, I will be back soonâ He said informing the kids and George who was dozing, she chuckled.
âOkay, be careful and donât be lateâ Alexa said.
âOK Mami, I might be late a bit but I will be back, I wanna also do somethings, OK??â Michael said when he got to the door.
âOkay,
no problem, are you with your phone??â She asked and he nodded âOkay then byeâ she said and handed him the keys, Michael took them, entered the car and drove off. Veronica entered, went to the kitchen to start cooking.
****************
âWell, my great surprise for my sweetheartâ Michael said as he thought about his surprise for Becca, he drove into the filing station, seeing Becca in her uniform was breathtaking, there were two cars in front of him.
Becca looked at the car lined up for her and stared at them tiredly.
âCanât this man go and join the other place, ohhhâ She complained as she saw a black beautiful portable car joining the queue, she rolled her eyes and began to sell fuel for the car in front of her. Then the car drove to her side gently, for few minutes the owner of the car didnât say anything, so she knocked on the glas-s gently, the window was whined down gently.
âI want a full tank and also the gallons in the boot should be filled to the brimâHe said, Becca didnât look at him but went straight to do what she was told, she sold the fuel for him. When she was about to collect her money, only then did she noticed that the owner was putting on a dark shade spectacles, she could only see a little because the tainted glas-s were rolled down a bit. When she was done with everything, the car drove off, she sighed. Just as she sat down to eat, she remembered Michael.
âI swear, if I see him, I will kill him, he didnât even call me, maybe he doesnât want trouble, because I am troubleâ Becca spoke to herself and chuckled sadly.
âHmmmm⊠Hey Becca, there is a man there that nee-ds youâ One of her colleagues said pointing to that same black car.
âReally?? But I am starving and I want to eat, canât you help him Kate??â She asked the lady.
âThe man said he wanted you and no one elseâ Kate replied looking at Becca who was somehow angry.
âFine, thanksâ Becca said an with that Kate left âIf he is one of this men that want to d@tÂŁ me or do any foolish thing, I swear I will smash his headâ She said angrily and moved towards the car, the man was leaning on the car with one side. Becca walked and stood in his front, she could perceive a familiar cologne but she ignored it and also a familar aura but she didnât look up at him.
âHmmmm⊠Guess you cheated me I mean the fuel you soldâ The man said harshly, Becca fumed.
âSo what do you want and besides our fuel is accurateâ Becca said as she looked at the man briefly, he had a face mask on âAll this rich people ehen, which one is face mask now, when it is not that he has an illnessâ She thought and hissed mentally.
âI wantâŠâŠ Youâ The man said with a very familiar voice and gr@bbÂŁd Becca on her wrist.
âWell, am sorry you canât, plea-se excuse meâ Becca said eyeing as she snatched her hand from the man and was about to walk away when he gr@bbÂŁd her w@!st, Becca pu-ll-ed him, as he staggered backwards, she followed him with anger and prepared to sl@p the man.
âHow dare you!!!!!, do you know who I amâŠâŠ I amâŠ.â Becca was about to sl@p the man.
âRebecca but Becca the queen of the street and you rule the damn street!!â The man said, her hands stood in the air and with that, he put off his mask and spectacules.
âWhat???!!!!â Becca screamed on t©p of her voice âMichaelâŠ.. Oh my goodness!!!â She said, jumping on him and engulfing in a ti-ght hvg, still shouting.
âBecca can you plea-se st©p shouting, you gonna block my earsâ Michael said laughing at the fact that he almost got beaten by Becca. After few minutes, she suddenly disÂŁngage and looked at him.
âI hate you, you didnât even call me or c@mÂŁ to look for me, you left, I wasnât even supposed to hvg you, am leavingâ Becca said sadly and made to leave, Michael blocked her way.
âSee, am so sorry, Very sorry, donât stay mad at me plea-se???â Michael said pleading with Becca who was looking sideways.
âThatâs your problem, can I go??â She said harshly, Michael chuckled quietly as he knew she was pretending because she had smiles on her face and even hvgged him.
âNo you canât, like I am sorryâ He said again this time walking towards her, he turned her, she had her back on the car and he was in front of her âYou are beautifulâ Michael said staring at her face but she was still looking sideways.
âI am working and I donât have time for thisâ Becca said pretending to be angry and ha-rd but de-ep down, she was so happy and excited.
âI love you eyesâ Michael said again staring at her, he took his hand and turned her face towards him, she closed her eyes, Michael suppressed his laughter âWait!?? Is the queen of the street now a weakling that canât even stare at a manâs face or have youâŠâŠ you know⊠head over heelsâ He said in his sweet voice that made Becca shiver a little and instantly have goosebu-mps.
âMichael, am uncomfortable, st©p and let me goâ Becca said still with her eyes shut, Michael couldnât help grinning.
âAm sorry, OK I will st©p but just open your eyesâ Michael said, Becca opened her eyes and looked at Michael who was smiling and c@rÂŁss!ngher hands.
âSt©p smiling, what you did wasnât funny at all, I thought something bad happenedâ Becca said.
âOoooh nothing bad happened and I am fine but I miss you, do you miss me??â Michael asked as he looked at Becca who rolled her eyes.
âNope I didnâtâ She replied.
âReally, you sÂŁnt me a voice note that almost made me jump out of my skin⊠Even till now..â Michael said , shifting backwards and started to laugh when he remembered the vote note she sÂŁnt and his and his familyâs reaction, Becca couldnât help but smile, she loves his laughter.
âFine, you wonât blame me, I thoughtâŠ.â She was interrupted as Michael hvgged ti-ghtly âAm still mad at youâ She said smiling.
âI know but I miss you so muchâ He said as he disÂŁngage âAnd speaking about not missing me, you sÂŁnt more than a thousand messages throu-gh both SMS and WhatsApp, maybe I should bring out my phone andâŠ..â Michael was saying feigning innocence.
âFine you donât have to bring your phone outâŠ.. AndâŠâŠ YeahâŠ.. IâŠ. ddddo miss you too, happy now???â Becca said and Michael laughed.
âI knew it, you just wanted to punish me right????, I am alre-ady, those days I didnât get to talk to you are enough punishmentâ He said looking at her with love and care, they both stared at each other.
âYou arenât going to k!ssme are you???, I will break your bone if you doâ Becca interrupted, Michael giggled.
âRuining a perfect moment, all thanks to youâ Michael said hitting his head in frustration which cause Becca to laugh, Michael was stunned as he looked at her.
âWhat???â She asked as she t©uçhed her face âis something in my face???â She asked but he didnât answer, still staring at her âCâmon what is it???â She sounded scared âAre you well???â She asked and held his arm.
âYour laughter and the beauty it gave your face made me stunned⊠It was fabulousâ Michael said and Becca laughed childishly.
âYou scared me, I thought something went wrong, thanks for the sweet wordsâ
âItâs the truthâ Michael said smiling, Becca smiled to.
âAm actually in my workplace, I donât want my manger to start complainingâ
âHmmmmâŠ.. Okay, can we met up tomorrow afternoon???â Michael asked holding her hands.
âOK, no problem, I got to go nowâ
âOK, I will give you a call, take careâ He said and left her hands, she walked some distance away from him and st©pped.
âIf you donât give me a call as youâve said or disappear has you did, I will kill youâ She said pla-yfully, Michael laughed.
âYes your highness, byeâ He said and they waved at each other, he drove off, Becca jumped with excitement and walked to the station and sat down, a male colleague stood before her.
âSo who is he???â A male colleague spitefully who has been hitting on Becca asked âSo you too, youâve joined those that d@tÂŁ rich men because of their money right???â He said bitterly.
âThe last time I checked, I told you I wasnât interested in you and also you ainât my parents or someone special to me that I should listen to you and besides I do whatever I want and that also isnât any of your businessâ Becca said âKate come and eat, I am filled up with excitement and happiness!!!!â She yelled happily that her colleagues stared at her âDonât mind meâ She said waving her hands in the air as she and Kate walked towards a bench and sat down leaving the person she insulted standing and looking dejected, Kate thanked her and began to eat but she took her phone out and began to operate it with smiles on her face.
