A glimpse of her episode 4
A Glimpse Of Her (episode 4)
Thoughtful gestures are one of the easiest ways to make your way into someone’s heart. When you show in your actions that you sincerely love and want someone, there’s a good chance that you will get that person to fall for you sooner or later. Everyone loves it when their partner is willing to go the extra mile just to put smiles on their faces and prove a point that they love them. That single act of love Michael showed Tiffany shattered every walls and doubts she was initially having about giving her heart to a man like him. No man has ever done something like that for her before so it indeed swept her off her feet. Those lovely inscriptions on the sandy beach shore that boldly read “Tiffany Please Be Mine” made her speechless and brought tears to her eyes. It was such a thoughtful gesture that will be inscribed in her heart forever. Due to that particular act, it’s safe to say that Michael now stood a strong chance at winning Tiffany’s heart and that was nothing but the honest truth.
After an eventful one hour helicopter ride around the city, they finally landed back at the helicopter station. Immediately the helicopter arrived at the station, Michael and Tiffany alighted and held each other’s hands as they bent their heads downwards and ran to safety. The smiles on both their faces as they ran towards the other side of the station was so visible that even a blind man could see. They kept grinning from ear to ear as they held each other’s hands.
Shortly after a few seconds of runing, they arrived at the checkpoint. They removed all gadgets given to them for the helicopter ride and collected their belongings before heading out. When they got to the parking lot, Michael opened Tiffany’s door for her to get in but before he knew it, she gave him a warm hug. “Thank you so much for the ride, it has made me so happy” she calmly said as she wrapped her arms around his beautifully built body. Without hesitating, he wrapped his arms around her too. After hugging briefly, they loosened each other’s grip and entered into the car, then drove off.
Few minutes after leaving the station, Michael asked Tiffany if she wanted to go somewhere else but she insisted to be taken home. With directions, he was able to successfully locate and drive to her destination. When they arrived at her beautiful house, he didn’t want to come in but she insisted that he comes in for a drink at least. “You have done so much for me today, the least I can do in return is buy you a drink and luckily I have drinks in my fridge” she said with a smile of her face. On seeing that she truly wanted to reciprocate the helicopter treat he gave to her, he have no choice than to follow her in for a drink.
When they entered into the nicely furnished apartment, Tiffany asked Michael to feel at home while she went into the kitchen to get some refreshments. While she was gone, he couldn’t help but commend how organized, neat and beautifully decorated her home was. It oozed peace and gave off a calm energy. Being a two rooms self contain, it was evident that Tiffany was doing really well for herself as a teacher and certainly didn’t need anyone’s help to be the amazing independent woman that she was.
As Michael’s eyes roamed all through the living room, it caught a fascinating photo wall so he moved closer to have a closer look at the photos displayed there. Every single photo seemed as though it told a story of a selfless woman that was sold out to Humanity. In almost every photo there, she was with kids from different walks of life and had visited many refugee camps around the country and beyond. Without a reasonable doubt, it was evident that helping people, mostly kids was a huge part of her existence. She also owned a foundation that catered for the abandoned elderly people and kids. This lady was just too good to be true.
Just as Michael was engrossed in the photo wall, Tiffany walked in with their drinks and ch¡ps. “Here you go” she said as she placed the drinks on the center table. Immediately he heard her voice, he came back to conciousness and returned back to his seat. “Thank you” he said as he grabbed one of the drinks from the table while she took the one he left behind. “Movie?” She suggested and he replied “Yes, sure”. Without hesitating, she turned on the television and they chose a movie together on Netflix.
Few minutes into the movie, Michael couldn’t help but wonder how a kindergarten school teacher was able to afford such a good qnd comfortable life, knowing that they don’t really pay school teachers so much in that part of the world. He was tempted to ask but was a bit worried that she might read a wrong meaning to the harmless question. Despite being hesitant at first, he still went ahead to ask her the question but in an indirect way.
“Do you know you are amazing? Like everything about you just s¢ræms superwoman and the thought that we still have people with your kind of heart is such a relief to Humanity. I’m sorry for prying but I couldn’t help but look at your photo wall and each photo tells a beautiful story of a selfless woman that is sold out to humanity. Now I understand why you chose your career path of being a teacher because you never want to stop giving back. But I’m a bit curious to know how you are able to do all this good for the world; you must be earning so much as a teacher to be able to contribute this massively to humanity” Michael said.
It’s apparent that Michael wanted to know Tiffany more than the eyes meet. She was too mysterious so the best way he could know her more was by asking questions. When he was done talking, she smiled and gave him the reply he indirectly sorted for. “I don’t live off my salary. Matter of fact, my salary has never reached home with me since I started working at that school. It usually goes into paying fees and catering for the needs of less privileged students whose parents are going through tough times. When my dad died, he left his small rubber and plastic manufacturing company for me and my younger sister; that’s where I live off from. We have a manager that supervises all activities during the weekdays and I visit during weekends to oversee the reports and activities. We wish to expand someday and go mainstream but it hasn’t really been an easy journey so far. However, we are hopeful that one day, we will get there so far as we keep the light burning. The little profit we make from the company after paying workers is split into 4 parts: one for my mum, myself, my sister and reinvestment. It hasn’t made us rich yet but it sure does put food on our tables and makes life comfortable for us” she said.
Tiffany’s story was indeed soul touching. Michael was so happy that she was able to share that piece of information with him. He held her hands and assured her that everything was going to be alright. After a good time well spent in Tiffany’s apartment, it was time for Michael to take his leave. As she walked him to his car parked outside, they kept looking at each other and smiling.
When the lovebirds got to the car, Michael leaned on the door and held Tiffany’s hands. “You still haven’t given me an answer yet” he said as he looked into her eyes. Her heart began to race as she looked into his eyes too. He wanted to k!$s her so bad but didn’t want to ruin any chance of ever getting her. “Please be mine, I love you” he said with raging emotions. Before Michael could say another soul melting word to Tiffany, she gave him the answer he greatly sort for and it was a “Yes”.
Oh My! You have no idea how happy Michael was at that moment. He wanted to s¢ræm at the top of his voice to rejoice the good news but had to comport himself with every might he had. Without hesitating, he lifted Tiffany up and spin her round. She couldn’t help the laughter that engulfed her as she held on to him tightly. “I promise you will never regret giving me your heart” he said and she nodded “Ok” in response. He pecked her on the forehead before finally driving out joyfully.
That day was the beginning of a beautiful and healthy relationsh¡p between Tiffany and Michael. They made love seem so easy and beautiful. They were such a remarkable couple even though they agreed to keep their relationsh¡p extremely private. Tiffany wasn’t about that media and noisy life so she begged Michael to keep their relationsh¡p out of the media space. She wanted to love him the way she knew how to without the interference or influence of social media in-laws and third parties.
It’s been over 3 months since the lovebirds began dating and up until then, not a single soul knew about their relationsh¡p except both of them. They avoided public gatherings as much as possible and usually spent most time at private locations, the beach at night and exclusive restaurants. They hærdly every went to public places together and due to this level of privacy and secrecy, none of the other ladies in Michael’s life knew that he was taken and in a serious relationsh¡p and because of this, they still flirted with him. Majority of them wanted him as well.
Since Michael and Tiffany started dating, she became one of his greatest football fan. She googled him at any slightest chance and opportunity. She bought many of his football Jersey and other souvenirs that had his identity. Whenever he had a match within the country, she was always there to support him and cheered him on with the massive crowd. She would wait till he gets into his private mini bus before joining him there to celebrate. It always made Michael happy whenever he saw his woman supporting him. She usually gave him uncountable k!$ses whenever they doors of the bus gets shut. To keep their relationsh¡p private wasn’t easy but they were trying as much as they could to keep the whole world out of their treasured little happiness.
Just when the lovebirds thought they were in for a lifetime of happiness, that expectation came crashing. It happened one day that Michael attended a night club with his friends to celebrate their victory. When they got there, drinks kept pouring in and they never stopped taking shots. Ladies where at every nook and cranny of the club and were fast to flood their VIP lounge at the alert of other team mates.
Despite being drunk, Michael wasn’t comfortable with having that much women around him. They kept touching him without his consent but he tried to keep his cool. Before he knew it, one of the ladies leaned forward and began to k!$s him. She sat on top of him and crossed her arms around his neck. It was at that moment Michael knew that he had to leave there immediately, but not before someone could take a photo of him and the strange lady and post on the internet.
Immediately Michael left the club, he got into his car and wanted to drive but was too drunk to. He then turned the car on, put on the air conditioner and laid his head back to rest for a while before driving. He tried calling Tiffany but she wasn’t picking up. He felt she had gone to bed so he dropped his phone and laid back to rest. After about an hour later, one of his friends who saw his car came knocking on the window of his car. On seeing that Michael was too drunk to drive, he volunteered to drive him back home that night.
The next day, Tiffany woke up to the missed call from Michael. She tried calling back but he wasn’t picking up. Just as she was about to hop into the bathroom to take her shower, her phone beeped and it was a notification from a popular blog she usually went to whenever she want to read news about Michael. Immediately she saw the headline of that notification, her heart sank it. It read “Popular footballer ‘Milano’ s₱0tted k!$sing a hottie in a night club last night”.
It took a while before the reality of that headline sank into Tiffany’s head and when it finally did, she held her heart and muttered “Oh No!”
