Catherine
10:00 AM

Catherine drove into the beautiful compound that brought a lot of nostalgic feelings to her, the fountain was still functioning and water was gushing out from the mouth of the angel, she noticed a new fountain,another angel probably

She pressed the doorbell  and the door was opened by the tall man at the entrance whom they often called Tunde or Tallie

"Hey" she said and he smiled in return.

"Good morning ma" Catherine greeted Mrs Kish  who was sitting comfortably in her sitting room, the interior had changed and looked more classy but the wallpapers stood out.

"Morning dear, you made it here today, I know you have forgotten us" Mrs Kish accused

"No ma, its not possible. Just that I've being really busy,I'm so sorry ma" Catherine apologized

"No problem my dear, I hope you have being eating, your hips look smaller.

"Mummy" Catherine protested like a baby clearly embarrassed

"I'm just saying what I'm seeing" Mrs Kish replied with a smile

"I'm really hungry though" Catherine whined and dropped her bag on the golden couch

"Catherine" Mrs Kish's voice stopped her, Catherine turned around

"Thanks for being a good daughter"

"Thanks for being the best mother ever" Catherine replied before smiling.

"Chindo you have to arrange the ice creams more neatly" Catherine told one of her workers. She was currently working in her restaurant, breakfast to breakfast was getting bigger

"Halima what ingredients did you say its not enough?" Catherine asked

"Pepper, salt, curry...." Halima rolled on and on and Catherine wrote it on her notepad. Thankfully she was not on high heels but sneakers so she easily walked about.

"Babe I'm famished" Tosin announced her presence as she slumped on one of the black chairs. The setting of the restaurant was simple, multicoloured walls with black chairs and table covered with wine red clothes. The clean tiles were white but very neat.

"So what do you want me to do?" Catherine asked in a boring tone

" Breastfeed me of course" Tosin replied and Catherine laughed

"Crazy child"

"You love me like that" Tosin winked. Tosin was served Jollof rice and plantain and she dug in immediately.

"There's this new guy in my company" Tosin started, Tosin was one of the people who didn't observe table manners. Alongside her modelling job,she also worked in a big firm that exported and imported.

"His the new boss, I heard his the son of the CEO, that guy is cute like mad and his accent is killing me, see he must notice me" Tosin said with a smirk

"Good luck dear, don't forget to bring here to patronize my goods" Catherine said and Tosin laughed.

"Till then" she said and sipped her drink

After Tosin had left for her house,Dike walked in, this time he was wearing a casual tee shirt with tight blue jeans that showed his slight bowleg. He looked very hot and Catherine noticed the stares the female customers were giving him.

"Cath" he called her with his hand in his pocket

"Dike,good evening" she greeted

"How are you? You look busy, should I come back later?" He asked and she shook her head

"Nope, i just tided up everything, what do you want to eat,should I take your orders?" She asked and noticed Dike's eyes never left her face

"You are all I want Catherine, if I can get you then I'm fine" Dike replied and watched Catherine intently. Catherine could see the plea in his eyes, he was a good guy, he was loving and patient too,it was probably time to move on.

"I know you don't want to take it fast but I'm willing and ready to take it slow Catherine" Dike added.

"OK Dike,I'll try" Catherine replied and she could bet a million dollars that fireworks were sparking in his eyes.

"What about a date Catherine, I'll pick you up" Dike suggested

"Ok dear"

"Tomorrow by 7 babe" Dike said with excitement and winked at her before leaving. Unconsciously Catherine's finger traced the necklace hanging on her neck, was she really ready to let go?
