MONALISA
The next day
“I need a part time job.” I said to Francesca and she arched her brows.
“Isn’t your dad’s friend like settling all your bills?” she asked, stopping to talk to me.
“Yes…” I drawled, stopping too and waving with a book in my hand.
“But it’s better I go gain some working experience. Plus it’s high time we stopped depending on him.” I added. “That’s right but if I had that luxury, trust me, I would not even work a tiny bit.” she said and I chuckled. “Mum thought about it and I reasoned with her so if you find a job for me, do let me know.” I replied. “Sure. Forget about that though, tell me about Bryant.” Francesca smiled with a little, excited squeal. “Oh my!” I gasped, realizing that Bryant had sent me a message this morning and I hadn’t replied till now.
I quickly reached into my pocket and pulled my phone out. I had just opened the message when I heard my name being called from behind by his voice.
I turned quickly along with Francesca and there was Bryant walking towards us with a bright smile on his face.
He stopped in front of me, reminding me of how Lucius had stopped in front of me last night. Except that when Lucius stopped in front of me, he seemed to have taken my breath away and aroused me but it was so different with Bryant. There was nothing like that, it felt like I was just standing close to my ex boyfriend.
I held back a sigh.
“Hi, Bryant.” I waved at him though.
“Looking pretty in this dress.” he pointed out to the black knee length dress I was wearing.
“Oh yeah, thank you.” I thanked him and he reached his hand forward to my cheek and caressed it gently.
“Your skin is as soft as I pictured it to be.” he chuckled.
“So I am now invincible?” Francesca asked jokingly and Bryant laughed.
“Of course not, how are you doing, Francesca?”
“Doing great but I think I should leave the both of you to have your couple’s time together” she replied and before I could say another word, she had scurried away.
“Where are you headed to?” Bryant asked me.
“Just the library, I have to return this book.” I raised the book slightly.
“Then I will follow you there.” he gave me a small smile.
There was nothing wrong with him following me to the library and so we both headed to the library.
“What do you think about me?” Bryant suddenly brought up the question and I stopped in my tracks. “I think you are a really nice guy.” I mumbled the words.
“Just nice? Nothing more?” He asked and for a moment, I thought of what to say. I had not been paying enough attention to him because the thoughts of Lucius had been in my head way too much.
“Definitely more. You are really good looking, hot, cool and the dream guy of a lot of ladies definitely.”
“Including you?” He asked and I couldn’t help but smile a bit.
“If it’s including you, then would you like to be my girlfriend?” He asked.
