Alexander woke up to the smell of food. She
yawns turning to the side of the bed. It was
empty.
She frowns leaving the bed, ”Jaime?” she calls
out. No answer. The toilet was empty. Sighing
she picks up her pa-nties, and then puts on her
nightie, she makes her way out the room and
then goes to hers.
She was frowning. They spend a beautiful night
together and he leaves her by her self in the
morning and not even a note to say where he
went.
Then she began to laugh, look at her sounding
like a girlfriend already. she covers her face
and then screams into her palm.
Oh, wait, she really is his girlfriend, like his
woman, the love of his life…oh!! she lays back
on her bed and the covers her hands and
screams again for the second time.
She sits up, but where the hell did he go to
without telling his girlfriend, boyfriends aren’t
supposed to act like that are there..infact!
She stands up taking off her her nightie, she
throws nak-ed into the bathroom and stares at
her tummy. A small patch of blood ha stained
the bandaged , she frowns . She removes it
realizing that their exercise last night must
have caused a tiny rip to her injury, nothing
she should be worried about. She grabs spirit,
cotton wool and then wipes it clean, she takes
about bandage and then covers it. She grabs
the bath-film paper and then ties it around her
injury area to protect it from water. She goes
un-der the shower and then takes a bath.
Alexander follows the smell of the food to the
kitchen, a loud music is coming from there.
Her tummy growls with hunger pangs, she
pushes the door open to find a man, dressed
in apron, dancing off beat to a song and then
singing.
She pushes the door further open to find a
puzzled faced Tinny-B staring at him, and then
an equally confused Adam staring at him.
The man who had a cooking spoon one one
had, has a frying pan in other is oblivious to
his audience as he continues to. dance. Now
he was shaking his tush!!
Tinny-B and Adam stare at her as soon as the
door shuts close.
”You know anything about this?” Tinny-B
inquires
She shakes her head ”No!”
Adam leans away from the kitchen counter and
then goes to her ”I am tempted to call the
hospital to run a check up on him, i have
never seen him this way, not since
forever..Jaime Lockswire singing, dancing and
cooking, oh boy!!” he laughs shaking his head
”I wonder what happened to get him so…”
”Happy!!” He and Tinny-B say in unison
Alexander shrugs innocently taking a seat,
avoiding their eyes ”Me too” she grabs a glas-s
and then empties jui-ce into it, she takes it to
her kips
Tinny-B eyes her ”You didn’t come back last
night, where did you sleep..most importantly,
how did you sleep?”
Alexander chokes
Tinny-B frowns, and then her eyes grows big
noticing the aura around her friend ”You have a
glow!!”‘ she covers her mouth as Adam turns,
Jaime turns too, Alexander’s cheeks burns a
bright pink.
Jaime sees them, shocked for a small second
that people were watching him, then he sees
her, his face breaks into a large smile. He had
four plates of food set out already, he pushes
one to Adam, Tinny-B, he takes two and then
comes to Alexander placing it before her.
”Good morning beautiful” he leans in and then
ki-sses her lingering on her li-ps ”I made
breakfast for you and ofcourse these
scalawags so they don’t say i am not a nice
man only treating his woman to all nice things”
he ki-sses her again and then pulls out a chair,
pulling her to sit.
Tinny-B couldn’t close her mouth, Adam helps
her with it, his face in smiles ”Well Sir, i think
today and all the days from now own would be
a good day”
”Yes, i literally got sunshine in my life!” he
ki-sses Alexander again ”A beautify sunshine
that is” He ki-sses her again. He could never
get enough from ki-ssing her. Alexander smiles,
she leans in and then returns his ki-sses,
unashamed, un-bothered.
Tinny-B’s mouth drops open again, Alexander
avoids her eyes, she is smiling from ear to ear
”I bet whatever you make would be nice”
”Anything for you girlfriend!” he ki-sses her
again
Tinny-B falls off her chair.
Adam is roaring with laughter as Alexander
laughs, jumping off her own chair , Jaime can’t
control it.
Tinny-B is helped up by Adam. She grabs the
glas-s of jui-ce Alexander original held, she
gulps the entire contents in one gulp , she
pours half a glas-s as they look on, and gulps
the entire contents again. She raises her index
finger , asking for a minute without saying
anything, She leaves the kitchen and shuts the
door.
”Where is she going to?” the men inquired
curious
Alexander smiles , ”Wait for it”
”For what?” Jaime chuckles
Alexander raises an index finger
”AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!” Tinny-B’s voice is heard
behind the closed door, and then jumping,
clapping and then more screams comes after
it.
”What the hell!!’ Jaime laughs closing his ears.
”For that!!” She shakes her head smiling ” men
and men…i would like to introduce to you the
world’s original crazy, my friend ..my best
friend –Tinny-B, the dramatic queen ” she
laughs
”Yes!! that is drama alright” Adam laughs, a
cute petite drama queen. He muses.
Tinny-B opens the door, she is smiling ”So,
when is the wedding, because baby i am about
to …-”
Everyone is laughing….she doesn’t finish, she
pouts ”Awww” She comes and then hu-gs
Alexander , whispering into her ears ”I told you,
i am a fxxkign seer, i knew you guys were right
for each other, baby..i am the happiest!” she
squee-zes her
”You so silly, i am his girlfriend, he isn’t
marrying me” she laughs shaking her head
Yet!!
Jaime smiles.
He knew what he was going to do…he had the
perfect idea of a proposal.
He smiles.
Adam is watching him.
”Anything you nee-d boss” as though reading
his mind.
”Good man, too good a man!” Jaime laughs
”Hey, you got to have her as a best friend
forever…allow me enjoy my moment” he taps
Tinny-B’s shoulders.
”Sorry!” she laughs moving away, he smiles
and then stares at Alexander, he picks up a
fxxk ..and jabs it into diced soft meat and then
takes it to her li-ps , she opens her mouth and
takes the food.
”hmmm, this is spiced good!” she observes
lic-king her li-ps
”I know!” he winks , he stares at Adam and
Tinny-B, ”Eat and stop looking at us, jealous
much?” he teases
They all laugh.

”Yes Deborah, i would not be in the office
today, kindly reschedule all my meetings for
tomorrow”
”Why is that Sir?”
”Also, all calls that are not personal should be
reverted to you, today i am taking a day off
and i nee-d no disturbance”
He heard her surprise voice ”But Sir, you never
take time off work, why are you starting now?”
”Because i got a woman, and she is pretty…i
deserve a time off damnit!”
He heard his PA/ secretary laugh. She had
been with him for a little over ten years. She
was elderly, she gets jobs done. Changing her
never came to mind.
”Well, maybe i should just reschedule
tomorrow off too. Besides, the weekend is
only three days away and your father is
throwing a party to you honor by Saturday, i
already sent a list of guests from the company
to your mother, and i am sure half the city if
not all would be at the Mayor’s residence
…so, i think you deserve a few days off to be
with your Lady.., you are President of the
Heritage company, back bone to chocolate
city, possible soon be Mayor if all goes
well..you can take time off for a month if you
want to, your good work which you have begun
would keep bringing you successes.”
He smiles ”Eh old your horses woman, don’t
get all high hopes ”
she laughs ”By the way, if its that woman i
saw on TV, pretty don’t do her justice. I see
why you seemed as if you were walking in the
clouds yesterday”
He laughs ”Bye Deborah”!!
He cuts the call to find Adam behind him.., he
beckons to him
”So, i am thinking of white carat gold,
platinum and-” he trails off ”What?”
”Nothing Adam smiles ”It’s just weird seeing
you all pumped up, now you talking rings?
Aren’t you going too fast?”
”Nope! A woman like that? No Adam, i am
going just right..so i nee-d you to find a way to
get her ring size without her suspecting”
He chuckles. ”Don’t you think that’s your job?”
”Er..i only just asked her to date me, she
might run the other way if she realizes what i
want to do…man has got to be subtle, subtle
you know”
”Hmm right, well the messenger always gets
killed, find another scape-goat”
”Come on Adam” he pleads, ”A man is
desperate, i would give you a raise” he winks
Adam laughs ”No Boss, trust me, you can be
more discreet than i am. Just imagine me
telling her ”Ma’am, can you kindly try on this
ring, its for bla bla bla, she would see right
throu-ghme and you know..she erm..”
Jaime steps close ”What are you about to say
about my woman?”
Adam tries not to laugh ”Feisty, i don’t want
her bi-ting off my head, yours is sweet enough
for her thank you very much” He leans closer
”But a man won’t mind a raise”
”Oh get lost!” Jaime nudges him away ”Look i
nee-d to get it soon, i intend to pull a big on
on her possibly weekend”
”Can’t help you Sir, infact i think i have work,
work to do” Adam is walking away
”Adam, Adam!!”
He shakes his head, the kitchen door swings
open, the girls walk out. ”Ma’am, Boss wants
you..”
”What tha-” Jaime trails off, Alexander stares at
him curiously
”Oh, what about!?”
”I will get you Adam” he mouths to him before
smiling down at her , taking her hands he pulls
her into his folds ”So, i cleared out my day
today”
”You shouldn’t, you have work and people who
depend on you and-”
He ki-sses her to shut her up..”Ssh, one day or
two…they would live. So, tell me what you
would love to do, where you would want to
go..and i would make it happen..”
”No..Jaime!!” she says looking at him, ”Come
on you don’t nee-d to spoil me or anything”
Tinny-B appeared from nowhere and slap-s her
at the back of her head ”Oww!!”
”Hey!” Jaime ru-bs his girlfriend’s head ”Play
nice Tinny-B!!” he chuckles as Alexander pouts,
he rewards her with a ki-ss, Alexander sticks
out her tongue at her friend
”What my friend is saying is that- she would
love to see the world and be treated like a
queen- her English not so good so when she
speaks she says stupid things like ”you don’t
have to spoil me”..wrong!! spoil her Jaime, i
permit you!”
Jaime is laughing ”I agree with the crazy girl”
He looks down at Alexander ”I want to treat
you like a queen, if i don’t who will?”
”But…”
”You know what…i would do the honors..grab
a change of cloths and- you know what, don’t
bother” he takes her by the hand and pulling
her with him
”Where are we going to?”
”Oh, you are been taken to be blown away
that’s what” He grabs his keys before stepping
out of the door”
”I am not wearing shoes” she chuckles as she
tries to keep up with him as they reach the
door, he flings it open ”You don’t nee-d to..”
bending he sweeps her off her feet, and takes
her to his guys, he shakes his head when three
security details head for their car ”We good!”
He sli-ps her in, placing a ki-ss to her li-ps ”How
about we go some place nice yes?”
She is smiling ”You know, if you get like this
with me, you would make me get used to it”
”Do i look like i don’t want you to get used to
this?” he laughs ”Baby, all i want is to treat you
good..and i would so enjoy it..just enjoy it” he
starts the car, pulling away and zooming down
town.
