I didn't want to stay home idle so i decided to look for a job that'd pay me well.
I found one after a long search,
But the manager didn't take me saying i was still a kid but i knew it was because i wasn't from his tribe. I heard him tell it to his friend in his language. I was so upset that i yelled the F word at him.
Daniel called on my way home and i told him what happened like i was blaming him for it. He told me to calm down...and not to blame the man since i didn't have my degree certificate yet but i didn't believe it, didn't he see my CV before his secretary called me for the interview?
Daniel even went on to say i shouldn't bother myself about a job, that i didn't need one.
"I so badly want to reach through my phone and give you a tingling slap."
was my reply but Daniel just laughed and said later.
He took a whole week before he called again, making me worried i might have said something wrong. I even told Kendra about it but she said the last conversation was a small thing to keep him away.
"Am sure he took it as just a joke." she added
Then she urged me to call him but i didn't. I didn't want to look desperate.
I did my best to shut him out of my mind. Kendra helped...
She loved parties and get togethers and all that stufff,
And i loved tagging along...i had very few places to go to on my own.
On days when Kendra had to work, i stayed home to watch T.V and snack on anything i could find in the house. One of those days, my phone rang.
It was daniel...
I almost leaped with happiness.
"Hello..." I said, "i've been thinking of calling you."
"But you didn't." he replied.
"I know."
Then an awkward silence followed...
I didn't know what to say to him and he wasn't helping matters either so i thought hard of something random to say.
"How was work today?"
"I didn't go to work today."
"Why?"
"I'm preparing for a trip."
"A business trip?"
"Yeah."
"Where?"
"Las Vegas, U.S.A."
"Oh!" i exclaimed.
Then,
"When are you going?"
"Two days time."
I felt a little sadness curling up my heart, i don't know why.
I think he noticed.
"Why are you sulking? are you going to miss me too much?"
"No!" i said immediately. "Why would i? I haven't even missed you one bit this past week."
He laughed. "Oh you even kept track? i'm sorry i let you miss me too much."
I was embarrassed and speechless. And so, he went on...
"...But i've decided to make it up to you. Come to Vegas with me."
I replied without thinking. "What? you want me to come with you? and you're just telling me?"
I came to myself.
Then panicked at how much i must have betrayed myself. Yes i wanted to spend time with him...but planned to make it tough for him but dude just knew how to make me forget myself...but i didn't give up easily.
"...well i'm pre-occupied with stuff...i can't come with you."
"But you said you weren't doing anything this hols and so need a job."
"Yes, a job Daniel...not fun."
"Then i'm offering you a job." pause. "Be my P.A on this trip."
"You already have one." I said
"But i want you the one on this trip. Atleast that won't be fun."
I reconsidered.
I thought about calling Kendra to as her opinion but decided not to. I had to start making my own decisions. I might have been queit for long that Daniel had to ask if i was still there.
"How much will i get?"
"What?"
"How much will you pay?"
