Anjola - Episode 2

Anjola Cole left her place of work feeling beat up, she was meant to meet with her friend at their usual meet up point earlier, but she was already running late. 

" I wish this woman,would stop giving me head aches" she muttered under her breath,the Head teacher  of the school she worked for had called her for the umpteenth time that day, requesting that she complete tasks that could be left for another day. She was having it tough, but she still refused to quit,much to the annoyance of the Head teacher Miss Anike.

She left work feeling tured with grumblings in her stomach, she rushed over to the grocery store remembering she was yet to replenish the toiletries at home and started ticking out the items she had gotten, she was through with her shopping in no time and was already heading towards the checkout when her phone rang,she dived to pick  up and in the process dashed into the back of sinewed male flesh, her whimper was unladylike and she regretted the moment she saw the face of the stranger, 

"Huh sorry,wasn't looking where i was going,I am in an hurry" This was the most Handsome guy she'd ever seen, except for Dad, he wasn't flatteringly handsome,but he had this Unique look,that oozed self confidence.. This man sure looks like one who could have anything he wanted just by the flick of his hands,and it was no wonder that she was already drooling over him

. "you turn, he said

"My what? " Anjola asked not following,his his bright eyes captivated her. 

"I thought you said you were in a hurry,the floor is yours" The stranger concluded, grinning.

She looked around and behold everyone at the checkout was staring at her, she most definitely was caught in the act!!and why was the attendant trying to hide a smirk? Was it so bad to appreciate God's beauty in a man? Abegi, some people with their eyeservice attitude sef, she checked out in no time,and on her way out she turned to steal a final glance at the stranger,telling herself she had to be able to give Busola a vivid image of Mr Perfect. 

To her utter embarassment,the man caught her staring and gave her the "I know right" expression,she rushed out of the store feeling like the whole world was against her.

"Anjola,ive told you times without number,you need to start dating again, imagine,youve just belittled yourself,its a relief you won't be seeing him again if not." Busola said,sipping from a tall glass of lemonade. Anjola had narrated her ordeal to Busola who hadn't stopped scolding her and asking her when she'd try dating again!! "when hell freezes over." she scoffed 

"Madam don't be o, he makes me want to try dating again, he's everything i want in a man, and he's my idea of Prince Charming, Anjola sighed deeply "oh Busola he's everything a woman could wish for... 

"He could be... Until you realize too late that he's a frog. You better wake up to reality Anjy,there are plenty guys out there asking for the opportunity to start something beautiful with you,you don't even know how lucky you are,some of us would do anything to be bestowed just one quarter of the attention you get from the opposite sex." Busola concluded wagging her finger at Anjy 

Bosun, Busola's friend joined them "Good evening ladies,Anjy Anjy,you looked stressed o,how's work Busola " He said sitting on the chair opposite Anjola 

"work's going on smoothly,i thought you said you couldn't make it tonight? Busola queried, it was  obvious that Bosun liked Anjy and that he wanted to be more than friends. Busola's heart bled because she knew Anjy saw him as a friend and Big Bro figure.

Busola loved him,and wanted him to acknowledge her, he seemed to be the only one who didn't how she felt about him, even Anjy knew and always tried all she could to throw them both together. Which hadn't yielded any results. 

"Guys I've got to run,mumcy should be home now,don't want her to start worrying,shes been tensed of late."Anjy said

"See you then,the package in your bag is for her though,wish a an happy birthday for me to hear" Busola said, 

"I hear you babe,goodnight Bosun" Any said as she struggled with the groceries.

"Night Anjy" Bosun said,escorting her out the door.
