For the first time in so many months,I found myself going over and over again on what to wear to Church. This us actually very weird as I'm not a fashion person at all. I just naturally keep it at the back of the mind that there's no body looking at me. I've got so many negative comments concerning that actually but that doesn't change my orientation concerning that. At least the last I remember concerning going over and over my wardrobe was when I invited Christian for a special programme in my church. I remember even going extra mile to get make up on my face from Binta . right now,I'm not using any make up. I'll just go to Church like that.. Its not like I care so much anyways.
After service is over, I head to the church restaurant with binta as that was where we agreed to meet . Twenty minutes after I and binta were settled, mark and Micheal came in ...more like a majestic strolling to me except mark who was grinning from ear to ear.
Of course,Micheal was smiling at us too but surely not like mark who looked like a 10 year old who just got a bicycle for the first time after literally begging for one for years.
Mark sat beside binta and Micheal sat beside me . the tables in the restaurant was arranged as a four-man -chairs setting. Immediately Micheal sat down,I felt my butterflies flip in my stomach which is very weird. It only happens when I see Christian. Very unnatural.
After exchanging pleasantries, he adjusted his chair and was now more or less facing me. Had it been I was white skinned,trust me I would be blushing tomato red by now. "
"It's a pleasure to finally get to meet you after about two weeks of 'I can't come out's' and 'you didn't call's'."He said and I chuckled. "So if I wanna see you,we only get to see in church?" He asked with a frown creasing his forehead
"Yeah,at least for now that's the only place my mum doesn't think I can meet with a guy"
"That's serious, but we gonna work things out anyways"he said more to himself SBD I just found myself wondering what we were working out exactly
"Without further ado,I guess you already know that I'm a straight forward person,I like you actually.."
"Hmn hmn" I say and he just looks like me . what else does he think I'll say? Jump on him and say I like him too?hell no
"Is that all? I ask ."
He just smiles."Tell me more about yourself. "
"Nothing so special actually, I'm a Nigerian, I'm from Osun state to be precise. I live in Ogun state. I'm not yet in college. Finished from high school a year ago. I love lemon, I love chicken and chips,I love ice cream. And lest I forget I read books a lot and I'm a writer too. I guess that's the summary of everything about me though." I conclude and find him smiling.
"Anyways, I like that. About me,nothing so special as well. I love playing football. I'm studying computer science at yaba college of technology Lagos. I love reading as well,I read more of my school books than novels though...  ..". I didn't get the rest as I noticed mark trying to get to start a conversation with binta and i try to stifle my chuckle.Mark has always being a pervert. Anything in skirt catches Hus fancy.
".....and I love black" he concluded."yeah right, black sure looks very good on fair people so its cool."I said
Micheal got chatting with binta and I started talking to mark. Both of them didn't spend up to an hour with us because according to Micheal he had a bus to catch as he was going back to school that day. But within that short while I spent with him,I realised he was a very funny fact. I laughed till my cheeks literally ached and even binta who doesn't really see good in guys laughed so much and I realised he also made a good impression on her. I'm starting to think the feelings he has for me is mutual after all. But there's still a Christian anyways.

"Viv, why do you think I feel this way. This is getting serious viv. Why is it that a day can't pass by without me thinking about this guy? The only people I've ever thought about like this is Christian and my first love which never worked out. Am I really gonna date this guy? In fact I'm starting to reconsider my feelings for Christian. Viv,I think I finly found the one,I still doubt it though. Christian might like me after all, he probably doesn't know how to put his feelings in words or he's the shy type. Anyways viv,I hope he really does like me and doesn't shatter my hopes" I drop my pen and step out of the house to go to work

"Let me check your latest pictures" the principal of my school said and I gave her my phone . after some minutes, she spotted the picture of Micheal. The one he sent to me the day I asked. "How did you get this picture ?" I know him very well. In fact, he's more like a son to me. I and his mum are very good friends. Hmn,is he the latest guy pinning on you right now?" She asks me winking and I and mary just burst out laughing.
"Actually,you are right. He said he does like me. But I'm considering him anyways"
"Micheal is a very good boy.very intelligent, respectful ,hardworking,neat,God-fearing and his cooking is wow. Really he cooks like a chef. He used to take my children on tutorials to tell you how intelligent he is. He's also rich and trust me he's worth it. Tell him yes. In fact you must tell him yes. You must date him. He's just the guy you've been waiting for"
"Ahn ahn.,don't mind Mrs Lawal o. Just like that"Mary said maybe because she realized that all her words were getting into my head already
"Don't mind mary,you better date him.Mary is just jealous he didn't approach her"she added age I burst out in laughter.
My life is usually not too boring with this duo. They crack me up. I live them both. Oh,what will I do without them especially Mary.
My weekend seems to drag as I just can't seem to get Micheal out of my mind,how that came to be. I just can't explain really.
"Is he really a good boy like she claimed ? Is he worth a trial?.I still have feelings for Christian no doubt but ..who knows? It really might work out like he said . when did I become like this ?"
I just couldn't get Micheal out of my head throughout the weekend.
