Choices And Affairs

This is Reality not a Disney Show

Have you ever been in a situation whereby you feel so trapped and you need to let lose?
Thats a very suffocating period

Avery’s POV

‘Are you done yet?’ Mia asked impatiently as I was finishing a document.

‘I’m almost done just give me two minutes’ I said

‘That’s what you said 6 minutes ago’ she mumbled

‘And done’ I said saving my work

‘Finally’ she said as she dragged me out of the office

We went to the Cafeteria, got our food and sat down one the last table on the last row.

‘You know we have something important to talk about’ she said cutting a piece of her fish.

‘I know, where you want me to start from’ I asked feigning a tired face.

‘I would say everything but it won’t help matters; when you saw him you looked shocked like you had seen a ghost or something but it didn’t seem like he recognised you; care to explain?’

‘Oh, yes I can’ I said slightly embarrassed.

‘Now start I’m all hears’ she said as she started eating

‘You know that Disc Jockey stuff I started doing’ I started

‘Yes now stop making me think and just go straight to the point’ she demanded

‘Well, we had an embarrassing moment and a weird connection’ I said

‘Stop beating about the bush before I do something savage’ she said

I laughed then took bite of my chicken slowly to annoy her.

‘We have less than 20 minutes so if you love your sanity better start telling me’ she said seriously

I held my laugh to avoid attracting attention then said

‘Okay’ *sigh* ‘I was having double thoughts during the audition that he came up to me and I was unconsciously staring at him like he was an angel dropped on earth till he snapped me back to reality and tried to cheer me up but the reverse was the case I unconsciously snapped at him and caused a little scene then during the first party I was coordinating  we met when I was about to play Nobody by DJ Neptune and my partner and him had already gotten close and he came there because he was trying to avoid some cheap persons and he followed his friend to make a song request which my partner lazily left for me to return from my break to play; he tried to introduce us but we didn’t let him and we did it by ourselves; he left us  alone to do God knows what then we used the opportunity to apologize for our actions and I found myself blushing behind my heavy makeup before he finally came back. He excused us and asked my partner to take over for me; which he happily did giving him more reasons on why I could go with him; the party was almost over and its like a spirit told my partner my love life had comma. We left and we started talking but I couldn’t tell him my name because of the contract but we still had an interesting conversation going; I think he knows I’m a medical practitioner but doesn’t know my location. He told me his name was Alec-Ambrose and it turned out his friend organized the party to welcome him to Nigeria. We were suddenly interrupted by a phone call made by my partner showing how much time we had spent alone together then we exchanged numbers except I gave him my new number instead of my active one’ I rapped in less than two minutes.

Mia was trying to process all the information I had given her then started laughing seriously.

I looked at her confused then I realised ( she’s Mia, my best friend’s girlfriend she’s bound to react like that)

Then she calmed herself down and started talking

‘First, you’re wicked; why didn’t you tell me all this yesterday?’ she asked

‘Due to stress it must have slipped my mind, I never thought it would matter as a then’

‘But it does anyways….. Wait? What did you say was his name again?’

‘Alec-Ambrose’ I said

‘Why would anyone combine such names, its dope but weird to me’ she laughed a little

‘And this is coming from the girlfriend of my abnormal best friend, that’s new’

‘I don’t blame you’ she said

‘He might be a lookalike you never know’ she said smiling at me

‘Doesnt It only happen in ...'

‘Hey girls’ Zara said interrupting my statement

‘Nothing much we were just talking about our new boss’ she winked at me ( One of the reasons she and Ziri were made for each other)

‘I know right, gosh he is so handsome and fun; he is really social around us interns and he is up to date with some trends’ she said happily

‘I know right’ she said

‘I just hope that Christie human doesn’t succeed in pouncing on him; have you seen her? She’s been acting *different* after I saw her in his office’ she said emphasizing on ‘different’.

‘I doubt he’ll have her time’ I rolled my eyes (Big mistake)

They both looked at me weirdly then Mia started humming Nobody by DJ Neptune.

I glared at her then said ‘why are you guys looking at me’ I asked

‘Because it would be so cute and dramatic if you fall for your boss’ Zara answered

‘Zara you watch too much telenovelas, I think it’s taking its toll on you’ I said slapping my hands on my face.

‘I know and I can’t believe there’s a chance for us to experience it here’ Mia squealed in a low tune

‘But he’s my boss’ I said

‘And what’s wrong with that’ Zara asked

‘It’s unethical’ I defended

‘I didn’t see that in our code of conduct’ Mia said

‘Besides we both know you want to make a move and you better do fast before Christie possesses him; I can feel her witchcraft already’ Zara said

‘I don’t blame you guys maybe Mr perfect is somewhere out there for me’ I said

‘Aunty stop dreaming’ Mia suddenly said

Zara couldn’t help but laugh

‘This is reality not a Disney show and in reality you have to make your own efforts unless you want to be 50 and still be looking for Mr right; and I want to be honest with you Avery, you’re an adult and you are getting ripe for marriage but you’re honestly stagnant in your love life and as your friend it is my duty to tell you the truth’ Mia said

Zara said ‘Yes and you have to start hanging out and exploring to find Mr Right he won’t just come to you till you work for it’

‘I honestly don’t know but I just lost interest after I graduated from the university’ I said

We know but right now you have to make an effort so that you won’t spend the rest of your life, alone, with an old dog, in your wrecked apartment, knitting caps for your grey hair crying to yourself………………’

‘Okay that is not happening ill make an effort’ I said cutting Zara off.

Men she’s practically brainwashed by movies

‘And first stop is your boss’ Zara teased

‘No way’ I laughed

‘You never know besides it won’t be that bad at least the sweet gossip I’ll be hearing would drive Christie crazy’ she smiled

‘Please I’ve had enough gossip these few days and I’m not ready for another one’ I said

‘Whatever, let’s see how things go’ Mia said as we got ready to go back to work.
