CHAPTER 14~15

< SUNRISE EATERY~7PM >
The eatery was empty now and there was no customer in sight except for the owners.
Nathan slopped on a chair and sighed out tiredly.
He closed his eyes and rested on the chair.
He had been helping Camila to serve the customers and it wasn’t a easy thing especially when the girls were around they couldn’t stop talking about him.
“Here” Camila’s soft voice talked and he opened his eyes to see her stretching a bottle of water at him.
He collected the bottle from her and uncapped it instantly.
“Thank you, I really needed this” He said started drinking the water.
“It was tiring right?” She asked and jumped on a table.
“You do pass through this everyday? You are really strong” He replied and she cackled.
“Don’t over stress yourself next time you are a celebrity” She said and he scoffed loudly.
“A washed up celebrity” He frowned.
“Hey don’t say that about yourself, I believe you will be big in the industry, your star is going to shine” She smiled, revealing her white set of teeth.
“You for kukuma become a pastor {You should become a pastor}” He said in broken English and she furrowed her brows in confusion.
“What is that?”
“It means you’re cute when you smile” He replied and she blushed slightly.
“Thank you” She said innocently and Nathan almost laughed but he controlled himself.
“Nathan, thank you so much, I should make you an ambassador of this eatery” Manon joined them.
Nathan and Camila laughed.
“I’m going home now, see you later sis, bye Nathan” Manon said and took her bag.
“Bye” Nathan waved as she walked out.
“Let’s get ice cream” Camila said.
“Girls and ice cream” He said and she smiled.
They left the eatery together after Camila locked up the whole place.
Nathan’s phone started ringing in his pocket and he slid his hand to remove it.
He smiled when he saw Buddy on the screen.
“Pascal” He said.
“Ayo” Pascal called and Nathan started laughing.
“Seriously when will you learn how to properly pronounce my tribal name?”
“It’s not my fault” Pascal said.
“Missing me already?”
“Cut the crap!! I just want to check on you” Pascal said.
“Just admit it that you are missing me but you won’t die” Nathan teased.
“F*ck you okay and goodnight, I’m hanging up bastard” Pascal and cut the call.
“Who’s that?” Camila asked.
“My best friend” He replied and she nodded.
Josephine prepared breakfast and they were already eating when Pascal’s phone rang and he answered the call.
“My brother is coming to see me” Pascal said after dropping his phone.
“Okay, so you won’t be riding with me right?” She asked.
“Yeah, I will be late for school” He replied.
“Ok” She said but suddenly her body reacted when she felt his hands on her lips.
“What…..” Her lips got shut when h started wiping her mouth with a tissue.
“Your lips got stained” He said and she smiled.
“Thanks for the meal” He said.
“You are already full?” She asked.
“Yes” He replied, drinking water.
“See later in school” He said and walked away.
Josephine continued staring till she took her eyes away and sighed.
“What was that?” She muttered slowly.
Pascal met with Landon and after having a discussion with his brother he came to school but currently he was in Josephine’s office.
“Where are the names?” She asked.
He dropped the long list on the table and she took it.
“Thank you Kiddo” She said and he pouted cutely.
“Stop pouting all the times, you are not a lady, girlish Pascal” She teased.
“Is your friend coming around today?” He asked.
“Why?”
“I just want to see her again” He replied.
“Don’t tell you already like that pyscho”
“Who won’t like her unless you aren’t normal” He said and she laughed.
“Her favorite watch words, you will get to see her always, she can’t do without me anyways” She said.
“Your assignment submition date is tomorrow, I’m getting all the marks” He said confidently and she scoffed.
“Don’t be too sure of yourself Kiddo”
“I’m Pascal” He bragged and Laurent came in.
“Miss Josephine” Laurent called with a smile.
Pascal’s face that was having a smile on switched immediately.
Josephine looked at him and she was surprised with the look on his face.
“Laurent” She said cheerfully.
“It’s lunch time already, you are not busy right?” Laurent asked.
“Yes, I’m free” She replied and Pascal frowned deeply.
“Pascal….
Pascal was already walking out of the office.
She sighed and faced Laurent.
“Let’s go” She said.
Camila and Manon were busy serving the customers but from a table sat Landon and his eyes were on someone in particular.
He was looking at Manon but she wasn’t aware of his presence in her eatery. He recognized her the moment he came in and saw her.
Manon served the last customer and was about to leave when the door opened and a guy came in.
“Who’s the owner of this place?” He asked.
“Good morning, I’m sorry but there’s no seat left, you can come back later” Manon said respectfully.
The eatery was already filled up.
“Are you sending me out?” The guy asked angrily taking Manon by surprise.
When did she say such?
“You misunderstood me, I mean there’s no space left for you” She said.
“Then make space for me, I’m here to eat too” He snapped.
“Why are you making this hard, all the customers aren’t done eating, I can’t ask anyone to leave, you can just check the next eatery or a restaurant” She said.
“Is that how you treat your customers?” He asked angrily.
Wait! Is this man sent purposely to frustrate her this morning?
“You don’t understand English or what? What language do you understand?” Manon said angrily.
“You are yelling at me?” He asked and moved closer to her.
“Who the f*ck are you? Get out please”
By now all eyes were on them as Manon displayed her anger.
“She said there’s no space for you why can’t you leave without trying to cause trouble?” Landon’s voice came from behind and the guy turned.
“And who are you?” The guy shot.
“Someone more sensible than you” Landon replied and th the guy tried hitting him but he quickly grabbed his hand and twisted it.
“Ahhhh” The guy cried out.
“Respect yourself and get lost” He said twisting the hand harder.
“F*ck you…. Ahhhh” He groaned as Landon twisted it again.
He released him and the guy gave him a bad look before leaving.
Manon’s eyes were on him throughout everything that was going on, she felt like she met him before and she was trying hard to remember but she suddenly remembered, the guy at the shop who gave her his perfume and refused collecting his money from her.
“You, you were the guy at the shop?” She asked.
“Nice meeting you again” He said.
“You left immediately I collected your perfume and I h@të owning people so I’m paying back now” She said and dipped her hand into her sale bag.
“You can pay me back by giving me your number” He said simply and she looked at him.
“Huh!” She blinked.
“What?” He laughed.
“I don’t just give out my number” She said.
Landon smiled handsomely and took out a card from his pocket, he took her hand and placed it on her palm.
“What’s this?”
“That’s my number call when when you change your mind, bye” He said and immediately walked out.
“What! Who do he think he’s?” She frowned and almost trashed the card but she stopped.
“He’s so full of himself” She muttered and walked away.
*****
Pascal left the school before Josephine but they ended up getting home at the same time, they entered the house together and Josephine faced him immediately.
“You don’t like Laurent?” She asked.
“What do you mean?”
“I know you don’t like Laurent but why?”
“I didn’t say anything about disliking him” He replied.
“You are always frowing when he’s around me”
“I don’t want him around you” He blurted and she looked at him.
“You are sounding like we are dating, you will be a jealous lover when you eventually have a girlfriend” She laughed.
“Who’s home?” Mindy shouted as she entered the house.
Josephine and Pascal turned at once.
“Pascal” Mindy ran into his arms and hugged him immediately.
Pascal smiled and hugged her back.
Josephine didn’t know when she looked away.
“I missed your cute face” Mindy said.
“Seriously?” He laughed as they disengage.
Mindy suddenly pecked Pascal on the cheek and his eyes widened.
Josephine saw that and looked away again.
Mindy faced Josephine after leaving Pascal side.
“You are not happy to see me?” Mindy asked folding her hands.
“I’m so tired so don’t start with me please” Josephine rolled eyes.
“Guess what? I cooked” Mindy said and rushed out, she came in with two bags.
“You what? When did you start cooking?” Josephine asked.
“Can you stop talking already?” Mindy rolled eyes and took out the packed spaghetti.
She went to the dining table and arranged everything on it.
Josephine looked at Pascal and they went to sit down.
She uncovered the lids and they took the forks.
“Rate my cooking skills” Mindy said smiling.
Josephine and Pascal started eating but immediately they tasted the two spoon their eyes widened as their mouth became peppery.
There was extra pepper in the pasta and the spice was too much.
“How’s it?” Mindy asked, smiling at Pascal.
“Nice” He forced a smile.
They ate the third spoon and tears started coming out of their eyes.
“What is happening?” Mindy gasped.
“We just remembered the death of Jesus Christ on the cross” They replied at the same time and stood up running to the kitchen immediately.
They got bottles of water and started drinking immediately.
The room was filled with the sound of music as Nathan and Pascal were busy with the assignment. They had been on it for the past two hours. Pascal having the determination to score all the marks.
They google the assignment and they were writing it to their notebooks.
They finished at the same time and they dropped their pens.
“Gawd!!! Finally” Pascal said.
“I’m sure we are getting all the marks” Nathan said.
“The possibility is 100 percentage, I’m so sure we gonna top the assignment” Pascal said.
“How’s your girlfriend?” Pascal asked and Nathan laughed.
“You are not talking about Camila right?”
“You are spending time in her place, is it what I’m thinking?”
“It’s not what you are thinking” Nathan rolled eyes and Pascal grinned.
“Abeg shift jare” Nathan said.
“What is the meaning of that?” Pascal asked.
“You must not know everything”
“How do you say good morning in your language?” Pascal asked.
“In my tribal language or in pidgin English?” Nathan asked.
“Pidgin English”
“It’s your nyash” Nathan replied.
“So I can say Nathan your nyash?” Pascal asked.
“What!!! Pascal, how dare you?” Nathan stood up from the bed and started coming for Pascal.
Pascal stood up and shifted away.
“But you said your nyash is good morning, what is wrong now?”
“Do you have to say it to me?” Nathan asked and started chasing him.
“Nathan!!!!” Pascal jumped over the chair and Nathan jumped with him.
Nathan kept chasing Pascal around the room till they moved to the kitchen and started jumping over stuff there.
“Is that an abusive word?” Pascal asked after they got tired of running. They were sitting on the floor now.
“Yes” Nathan replied breathing heavily and Pascal started laughing mockingly at him.
*****
Pascal got home around past 9 and he didn’t met anyone in the living room but he guessed Josephine would be asleep by now, he was about to go to his room when a car zoomed in and started horning loudly.
Pascal dropped his notebook and went to the door, he opened it and his eyes widened when he saw Mindy and Josephine coming out of the car but they were drunk.
Mindy started laughing throwing her hands up in the air.
“I’m flying, where we should we go?” Mindy shouted.
“Let’s go to hell” Josephine smiled.
“I heard that place is a paradise, it’s like America” Mindy said and hugged Josephine.
“I love you” Josephine smiled drunkenly.
“I love you two baby, kiss me” Mindy said and Josephine started bringing her lips closer.
“What!!” Pascal’s eyes widened and he quickly ran to them, he separated them before their lips could meet.
“What did you guys drink?” He asked.
“Cutie” Mindy smiled when she saw his face.
“You are so cute, I love your…..” She couldn’t complete her statement as she fell on him, sleeping off immediately.
“Gosh” Pascal roughed his hair and carried her in, he took her to Josephine’s room after putting her to bed, he came out and met Josephine who was staggering in the living room.
“Kiddo!!” She drawled and he frowned.
“Why did you even drink in the first place?” He asked.
Josephine staggered and almost fell but he quickly caught her. She looked up and started smiling.
“I’m cute right?” She asked.
Pascal said nothing.
“Are you mad at me? I only drank two cups” She pouted cutely and Pascal swallowed.
“Kiddo” She called and held his face.
His heart started palpating and the crazy rush came,. his heart started banging hard and he could feel the sensation of her hands on his skin.
He began looking into her eyes.
She smiled and started bringing her lips closer to his lips.
Pascal swallowed hard again and he didn’t know when his eyes shut down as her lips leaned in….
