Oh, how he loved seeing her smile
” Hey.. ” she smiled and hugged him which he reciprocate to immediately.. he lifted her up in his arms swaying her around while she giggled softly
” You look even more beautiful today.. ” he said placing her gently on the couch
” I got you some groceries too ”
” I’ve told you to stop buying me things.. you got the job just a week ago and you’re already spending your money lavishly? it won’t last… ”
” I know, I just wanted to surprise you again today..” Cerlia pouted cutely which made him chuckle
” You’re cute..” he smiled and kissed her pouted lips while she responded to it too. They kissed passionately and it was getting tensed but she quickly broke the kiss
” Is everything alright?” Raphael asked, confused and she nodded..
” It’s Just that, you need to be at work by 5pm and it’s almost 5pm. I need to see my parents too” she replied
” Oh, How about we go together?” He asked but she smiled and kissed him shortly
” Nah, I wouldn’t wanna stress you.. just know I love just you okay?” She said and stood on her feet.
” Alright then..” he replied standing too, he held her waist as they walked out of the house.
” Bye babe.. ” she said and Walked her way down the street while he smiled to himself as he watch her leave
Raphael Weston, He’s a 25yrs old lad who works at a night club just to earn a living.
He lost his parents as a child in an accident and his grandparents weren’t the usual type of wealthy people so he had to work just to make ends meet but that only made him drop out of college since he couldn’t afford his tuition fee
Cerlia had been the only girlfriend he has and also has plans for . They’ve been together for two years now and everything seems to go well between them that he couldn’t trade his love for her for anything
Even though he was poor, he was still as handsome as ever. His eyes which sparkled like they were pairs of crushed diamonds would make anyone wanna get lost staring into the them
Cerlia had told him she found a job after years of going job hunting but she didn’t tell him the type of job she was into..
Anytime he brings up the conversation, she ends up brushing it off or just ignoring it and he wasn’t gonna talk about it anymore since she wasn’t ready for the conversation
He walked back into his room and got a hoodie from his wardrobe before leaving the house and walking the remaining distance to the club where he works

MOLA CLUB HOUSE
Loud music played in the background as Raphael served the customers..
Girls kept throwing him seductive stares and hitting on him as usual but being the decent guy he was, he didn’t even look at their side talk more of responding to them cos he had eyes only for one girl
CERLIA! He loved her to the moon and back.
” I can see Cerlia is the only thing on your mind, brain and head..” His friend, Arnold said
” Yeah, think all you want pepper..” Raphael said sitting closer to him.
Pepper was Arnold’s nickname since their high school cause he he talks alot
” So, Is Cerlia coming over?” Arnold asked
” I don’t think so.. ” he replied
” Sincerely dude, Cerlia isn’t the usual Cerlia we both know. She has changed alot…”
” And what do you mean by that?” Raphael asked already annoyed
” Yho yho, Cool down man, I’m just saying according to my observation.. she doesn’t come here often anymore and…
” That’s because she’s working now, she’s a busy lady. I wouldn’t want to have this conversation again Arnold ” Raphael said and stood up. He left Arnold and sat somewhere else
” I hope he sees what I’m trying to tell him on time…” Arnold sigh

Raphael walked down the street in the dark night with his hands in his big hoodie
He brought out his slightly cracked phone and decided to call Cerlia since he was missing her badly
He couldn’t check up on her cos it was late already and he was tired from stress so he decided to call her instead

Cerlia was about picking up her call when she heard the door bell but she had to pick up when she noticed it was Raphael
? Hey baby.. She said walking to get the door
? How are you? I miss you.. Raphael said
? I miss you too…. badly!!
She opened the door revealing Exton who captured her lips immediately
? I’m not busy tomorrow, so I’ll spend some time with you Okay? Raphael said but got no response since she was already in a hot make out session with Exton
? Hey, are you there? He asked and Cerlia broke the kiss
? yeah, goodnight, I’m feeling sleepy already.. see you tomorrow.. She said and ended the call before he could speak further.
She smiled at Exton before kissing him as they both head to her bedroom without breaking the kiss
