TITANIA
The
whole morning I was in bed talking to Faith, well he called me at around 6. He
was actually surprised that I picked up because to him he expected me to hang
up before he even said more than two words. To be honest Faith is very sweet, I
spent the whole morning laughing in my bed. He made me forget all my problems, made
me forget Kakula. For the first time I found myself laughing so hard, but then that’s
how it was with Kakula at first.
Him:
we can always meet up today.
Me:
yeah.
Him:
& yeah… there is vacancy at my friend's wife's company
Me:
ok?
Him:
yeah… but it’s not that much of special job.
Me:
what is it?
Him:
they need a personal assistant for the Magazine Editor.
Me:
a PA?
Him:
yes.
I
laughed.
Me:
that’s great.
Him:
that’s what I thought too & the pay is good.
Me:
how much is it?
Him:
K5000 per month.
Me:
that’s not bad.
Him:
yes… & I can always put in a good word for you whenever they need a model
because it’s a fashion company.
Me:
yeah… beggars can't be choosers.
Him:
we will still keep on looking for a better Job… do you have a degree?
Me:
no.
Him:
so you will take it?
Me:
yeah.
Him:
great… ummh let me come over & pick you up.
Me:
I'm starting today?
Him:
yeah… before they find someone else.
Me:
ok.
Him:
I will see you now.
He
then hung up, the job wasn’t exactly my ideal job but at least I will be making
money. I got out of bed then went & took a quick shower. After bathing that’s
when I actually realized I had no much clothes. Only a few jeans Mwangala gave
to me. I just wore the jeans then fixed my weave. After I was done I went to
the kitchen. Mwangala & Rio had already left for work so I was alone.
I
fixed myself instant porridge as I waited for him. He’s car pulled at the gate
after I was done eating. I rushed to my room & looked at myself on the
mirror. The bruises were gone. I grabbed my bag then got out of the house after
locking the house. It seemed like each person had their own key so Mwangala
even made one for me. I walked to his car as he got out. He greeted me with a
tight hug & I could smell his Cologne. He smelt so good that I wished to
hold on to him forever. We broke the hug after a while.
Him:
hey.
Me:
hi.
Him:
ready?
I
nodded.
He
held me by my hand then walked with me to the passenger seat then opened the
door for me, something Kakula could never do.
I
got inside the car then he closed the door for me. He walked to his door then
got in.
Him:
how did you sleep?
Me:
I slept ok.. do you think this is good for a first impression?
Him:
to me it is but we can always pick something formal for you.
I
was only left with about K200 from the money Mwangala gave me. It wasn't enough
to buy me a good outfit.
It’s
like he read my mind.
Him:
don't have enough money?
Me:
my cards are all declined.
Him:
I won't ask but I will pay.
Me:
you don’t have to.
Him:
I want to.
He
drove to some boutique. Getting inside the prices of those clothes were just
insane.
He
picked out this other Lacey black skirt, with a black silky long sleeve shirt
then some heels.
Him:
go try them on.
I
took them then went to try them, surprisingly they fit perfectly. I walked out.
Him:
you look Beautiful.
Me:
thank you.
He
took my hand & walked with me to the cashier. He paid for them while I had
them on. As we walked out he removed the price tags.
He
opened the door again for me. He used the back gate that led to the underground
garage when we arrived at the company.
Me:
what's the name of the company?
Before
he could respond his phone started ringing. He answered it with an annoyed
look.
Him:
hello... Isn’t she supposed to stay with you just until…I'm kind of busy right
now. Bye.
He
exhaled putting his phone in his pocket.
Me:
everything ok?
Him:
yeah… let's go.
We
got off the car & walked in using the backdoor. He was holding my hand all
along.
Me:
why are we using the backdoor?
Him:
it’s much faster.
We
walked inside the elevator. The way he was looking at me I was starting to even
feel shy.
Me:
what is it?
Him:
you are really beautiful.
Me:
stop it.
Just
then Elevator doors opened & we got out. He led the way until we got in
some office. It was ablady & she was pregnant. The moment we got inside she
stood up & walked up to him & gave him a tight hug.
Her:
Faith!
Him:
Natasha!
Her:
how are you?
Him:
I'm good you?
Her:
I'm happy.
She
said rubbing her tummy.
Him:
that’s great, how far are we?
Her:
7.
Him:
it’s almost time.
Her:
yeah. I know right?
She
looked at me.
Her:
& who is this beautiful woman?
Him:
she's a special friend.
She
came over to me then hugged me.
Her:
hi, I'm Pat.
Me:
I'm Titania
Her:
wow. You so pretty.
Me:
thank you.
Faith
walked up to us & put his hand on my waist.
Him:
this is her.
Her:
she's perfect.
Him:
yeah..ummh this is the magazine editor.
Me:
nice to meet you.
Her:
likewise. I'm glad you are here... I really need help around here, this
pregnancy is making things a bit difficult for me.
Him:
can I leave now?
Her:
yea.
He
gave me a kiss on my cheek.
Him:
I will pick you up after work. is that ok?
Me:
yes.
Him:
ok bye.
He
then walked out leaving me with Patricia. She looked like a nice person.
Her:
so we can get started?
Me:
yes.
Her:
can you start with my table first. Its kind of messy in here
Me:
ok.
I
cleaned her table. Placing files in alphabet order & just putting
everything in order.
Her:
thank you… now we can start with my personal preferences.
She
started telling me what she wants in the morning & on lunch. How she likes
her things to be done. It was pretty simple.
Her:
do you think you can manage?
Me:
yes.
Her:
good, we have a meeting just after lunch with the CEO, she’s hands on
everything that happens, so she needs to be updated.
Me:
I can't wait to meet her.
Her:
great! Faith tells me you are a model
Me:
yeah.
Her:
that’s nice.
Me:
yeah.
Pat
was a bit talkative & also at the same time comfortable to be with. I was
sure I was going to enjoy my time here.
