"Hello borer! Saw how foolish you stoop so low for J-man!" Barbie bursted as she and her clique surrounded her.

I raised my head in bewilderment, with anger raging in my eyes. I feel like bursting her grape-head but not today, very soon.

"What are you talking about, barbie?!" I frowned.

"Uh-uh... Don't worry, you're new here so let's inform you!" She continued.

"Meaning, J-man is not your type.. He's not that girlie-girlie person that any fool can seduce. Not to talk about you.. ugly duck!!" Khole stuck her irritating breath to my ear...

Whispering by the side of my ears as if she was that horrible, hungry vampire that wants to suck my blood.

"Girls, take your horse-ass-flapping-in-the-breeze-faces out of my sight! I'm not interested in J-man or whatever you call the idiot! If you need him, you can run after him before he goes too far!" I spat.

"Are you hurt?" She asked in an annoying way, blowing her bubble gum at me.

"No, I'm not. Because I have no time for you guys... I'm only advising you!" I stood up and went to the ladies.

'Those girls are so annoying and Irritating! I mean, What on earth do they want from me? And why did that fucking Jacob of a jerk changed all of a sudden?' Dafie thought within herself.

"Why thinking?" Larry came to meet her outside where I sat.

"Inside's really hot. Can I ask you a question?"

"Yes, Of course... Tell me what's bothering you?" He got interested.

"How long have you been working here?"

"Hmmm... It's about eight years now."

"Eight years? How do your manager or cope... I mean how do you cope with others?"

"Hahahaa.. I enjoy here 'cause it's interesting. I'm educated and hardworking. I know you're facing somethings, Dafie.. You're strong. You need to be stronger in order to face others."

"Why did you call J-man, Jacob?"

"Yesterday, Someone burst into my apartment and wanted to harm me... That guy saved me and told me he was Jacob Scott."

"What?! J-man told you that?"

"Yes, Why?"

"It's either you call him J-man or The gang Lord.. Noone knows his real name because he doesn't talk to just anyone. In fact, he's never told anyone his name... You're lucky he even spoke to you."

"Who is he? A gang leader?"

"Yes.. He's a gang leader and he's so different from others. J-man is not a player neither is he ready to marry. If you ask me... I'll say he'd be single till Jesus comes. I mean... J-man once slapped Khole for kissing his neck. He treats her like a pest since then. And Barbie? He almost killed barbie the day she forced a kiss on him. Untill now, every girl is over him knowing he'll never be interested."

As lazy said this, feel of euphoria grew in me as my heart started bumping. It is just unbelievable...

"Really? but y..yesterday when he came, he looked really calm and harmless."

"The gang Lord, J-man... He can kill anyone for money especially what he really wants. He killed David  Smith, Lennon Owolabi, Finn Mc Kinly, Ade Bello,  Matthew Adebola and many more in my presence. All because of one argument or another. I've never known anyone as desperate and dangerous as J-man. Be careful with him. J-man is a crazy lion living in the cave of fire, he could do anything for what he wants... Be warned." My heart was still beating fast. I fought down the hysteria burning in inside me.

"But he saved my life? Why?"

"I have no idea why but be careful, that's an advise." He stood up and went in. I tried to calm myself down at the thought that he needed me for something... 'Was he using me? Who is Jacob really?'

I later walked home, sadly. Thinking about how hectic my day had been.

It was already rainy.... I reluctantly put on my old, turn raincoat. Yes, the one that mom gave me and walked in it, not minding if I 'll catch a cold or get feverish. Nothing would torture me... I just got here and this is happening to me. I thought as I cry-walked in the rain. Nothing else would flow from the eyes if not tears. I am so broken. I can't imagine I had a crush on that stranger.

Just at my doorstep, I saw J-man. She stopped at watched him from a distance. I suddenly felt a chilly air whoosh out of me like someone had slapped me on the face.

"I'm sorry." He mumbles, changing his cute-sad face into a more pitiable one.

"I'm really sorry." He kneels. "I didn't want to do it but... It was a mistake, Please, Don't go away." He holds my legs to himself.

I took a deep breathand looked down at him. At his foolishness. "You're such a liar! A great one!! Just get out of my fucking sight and never come back, meat-eating!🍖" I hissed, not letting the stupid thought in my mind take over my actions.

"Get up, J-man! You told me your name was Jacob Scott and people call you J-man!! Tell me, who are you?!" As anger lanced in my bold voice.

I looked at him and noticed he was someone who I Shouldn't have met. Perhaps, he planned our first meeting. The sadness and silence that glued to his face angered me the more. I wanted to fall for it but for the fact that he disgraced me...

"I don't know you from anywhere or anybody. You rejected me in the public, now leave me alone." I moved away from him.

"Please.." In his sexy, dark eyes, It said something unexplainable. Like the answers to all my questions but he wasn't able to tell me. He clutch his head with both hands as if he was in pain but who cares?

Not wanting to be seduced by all his dramas, I turned my back to him.

"I need a break.. I had a hectic day, please." I twirled to the door and get into my apartment.

Jay goes to my door step and knocks but I didn't answer neither did I open the door.

He sat under the rain, hoping I would come out but I didn't.

The following day.....

When I woke up this morning, I pulled myself to a sitting position across my thin bed laying across the floor. I sit against the wall, knees folded up before me as I tried to keep myself warm. It was a cold morning. Yesterday's rain still sends cold to my whole body.  I felt an headache and fever building up in me.

Oh! It was all because of that J-man jerk!! How dare him even try to beg me? Guys would always me guys. I hissed at the thought and ran into the bathroom. It was already 7:56 a.m.

In my head, I visualized his face begging and telling me how sorry he was. I just need to ignore him and concentrate on myself, nothing more.

"Today, I'm determined to be the best and nothing less. Today would be a correction of yesterday. It'll be better than yesterday." I thought within me, wearing a bright smile across my red, small lips.

I put on a white crop shirt and raged jean trouser.

As I stepped out and saw saw J-man.

I would definitely get into trouble if Jay won't leave me or if he insists he would follow me to work today...
