A WEEK LATER≈SATURDAY>LEE RESTAURANT~[CRUSTY CRAB]**
As the sky slowly changed from shades of black, to brighter shades of blue.
Two people could be seen outside a “sea~food” restaurant, ascending the grand staircase sluggishly.
“Walk faster, gracious, we dont have much time!!”november ordered, as she nonchalantly walked with her long legs, and grabbed her left hand.
Gracious shook her head, and wriggled her hands free.
“Are you really sure about this?, i hate disapppointments okay. I’ve never worked in a place like this before, are you sure its worth a try?”november nodded in response, holding her hands and stroking her cheeks.
“You’ve gotta try though, it won’t hurt to be rejected!!”they couldn’t find a bell, so they pushed the sliding doors open.
A moment passed, and then a woman peered out.
She was chubby/gorgeous, with glittering turquoise eyes, and neatly bonded hair.
Her cheeks, and the rim of her nose were patterned with butterflies.
She wore a blue-coloured jeans, and a red nylon sweater, with a runner up of one sleeve.
She smoothed her hair with a caruncle-fingered hand, tucking a loose strand into an ordered chignon.
“Gracious?, ive heard a lot about you, nice things though. I hear you’re the best cook in the whole world, november’s obsessed with your delicacies!”she bowed her head in respect, the woman smiled brightly.
She’s just as expected…
A respectful young lady, awwww…
Her gaze shifted to november, though her manner remained generous, her heart leapt for joy.
“Why don’t we go to the kitchen, so you’d be acquainted with the others?”gracious hesitated for a second, she looked like someone “chronically“ inebriated, but november encouraged her, with her magical eyes.
“Have you ever worked in a place like this before?, how sure are you that i’d be impressed by your cooking?, what’s your main focus?”she bombarded gracious with numerous questions, as they strode past the customers, and paused in front of a wooden- made door.

Mrs lee opened the door, and they stepped directly into the kitchen, which was enormous and spacious, with an acoustic-tile ceiling.
The red, white, and blue color scheme was like a tone poem to “Americana“.
👥 Huh?, who’s she?
👥 What!!!, a total stranger will be working with us?.
👥 Something tells me she’s from Ashrika!.
👥 It’s Africa dummy!
👥 Just shut up!!!, aren’t you girls ashamed of yourselves?.
👥 Who the f**k are you to tell us what to do?unaesthetic riri!.
The workers murmured to themselves, as they watched gracious every move, mrs lee cleared her throat.
“There’s someone i’d like to introduce you all to, meet sanyarnolew gracious!”they all bursted into laughter, gracious took in her bottom lip, she’s just entered the lion’s den.
Mrs lee slammed her hands on the counter, gesturing for them to keep mute, she gave gracious a pleading eyes.
“I still find it hard to utter your last name sweetheart, don’t be mad at me for pronouncing it wrongly!”gracious shook her head, and sucked on her lip.
Their world’s were just so different, was she ever going to “fit“ in, she sighed exasperatedly.
“It’s fine ma’am, you’re free to call me just gracious!”she smiled, and cleared her throat once more, before returning to her declaration.
“She’s going to be the new “chef“ as from today, anyone who disagrees with my decision is free to go okay?”they mumbled obscene things to themselves, but had no choice but to comply, else their jobs would be at stake.
Mrs Lee crouched down, and reached for a cupboard, she brought out a neatly folded fabric.
Gracious face turned tomatoes…
She’s blushing, it’s so hard to contain…
What stared back at her almost made her squeal, “Gracias portado, tequiero papa“, meaning “Thank you Almighty God“ for giving her another chance in life…
It’s her work cloth, specially made for her…
“Have this dear, you deserve it!”she handed it over to her, gracious smiled blissfully, before receiving it.
“Mum i–“he paused on his tracks, and stared at everyone, especially gracious.
Her presence disturbed him a lot, especially after the scene back at school, a week ago.
She caught his glance, and frowned, he looked away instantly…
He let go of the door knobs, and made to leave, but his mum stopped him.
“You don’t have to leave honey, come in, there’s something i’d like to share with you”he palmed his face, and walked in, as usual, the ladies eyes glittered.
👥 He’s so s*xy, i wish i could be a teenager again!!.
👥 I’ll give so much to be his mom, i’d be so famous!.
👥 Ohhh my!, the dimples, urghhh the blood coloured lips, i’ve got to use the washroomroom, cause am dripping wet!!.
👥 Marry me ji-ho opppa, riri loves you more than anyone else!!.
He rolled his eyes at their “weird“ compliments, and gave his mum the “go on“ look.
“Am sure you’re familiar with gracious, cause it came to my realization that you both attend the same school. Well, to cut my words short, she’ll be working here as from today”his eyes widened in shock, they absolutely caught him off guard.
Gracious did not look up, his acceptance mattered less to her.
She saw him as a “proud, unattractive“ musician….
“Don’t even think about it, since you’d be here for some time, you guys have got to get along. Even if you dislike his personality, he’s always going to be here, no doubt!”gracious scoffed, and wrapped her hands below her pits.
He’s got to apologise first…
For what exactly?, that she did not know…
“Congratulations!!”he took a few steps closer to her, and stretched his hands, a cunning smile playing on his face.
“Control yourself grace, don’t be tempted to punch the j**k, do this for november at least!”she calmed herself down inwardly, before taking his hand with hers.
Blinded with fury, cursing underneath her breath, she tightened the grip…
He gro*ned in pain, before wriggling his hands free.
She’s so weird, urghhh…

MIDDAY>WILLIAM MANSION**
“I’ll be there in a bit sweetie, my “make up“ is all messed up, i’ve got to add some touches!”she poked her head through the exposed holes in between the stairs, a man, was sitting on the sofa, flipping through a copy of “Newspaper”, as usual.
She rolled her eyes, and slipped her phone into her handbag.
He was dark haired, handsome in a sulky sort of way, with a mouth way to wide
He was wearing white pants, and a grey turtle neck shirt, black flip flops down below.
She descended the stairs slugglishly, her high-heeled shoes, making awareness of her presence.
“Where are you going to young lady?, don’t tell me you want to hang out with that boy again?”dawn rolled her eyes up to the right, and made herself comfy on one of the couches.
She jammed her left hand into her purse, and brought out her “emergency~ make up“ kit.
“Huh?, aren’t i talking to a human being here?”she applied a bit of brown powder on her face, and a red colored lip gloss that matched her versace gown.
When she was done, she stood up, and made to leave.
“You’ll be going no were, until my question is answered!”he waved her car keys across her face, she frowned, then proceeded to speak.
“I’m going shopping with my friends, is that a bad thing if i may ask?. Since we’re talking about “truth’s“, i’ll like to use this opportunity to confirm something!”he stared intently at her, and waved his hands in the air, in gesture of her to go on.
She sat back down, and cruciated her legs…
“Rumours has it that there’s a young girl staying in one of your apartments, who’s she?, why are you helping her uhnn?”he shook his head in disappoint, why were those helps such gossips!.
She waited impatiently, like who the h**k is trying to “rob“ her off her own father’s attention?.
“You’ll find out soon, for now, it’s better it remains unsaid, you’re free to go!!”he flung the keys towards her, she caught it in time.
“But dad…”
“No buts dawn, i’ve made a decision, and that’s final. You’ll know about her once it’s the right time”she pouted like a kid who’s candy had been snatched, that’s her way of winning him over.
But, it didn’t work this time….
She feigned irritation, and gave him a mock “cross look“, before walking towards the door.
She’ll find about the “girl“, even if it means going to every building, her father own.
★ ☆ ★
“Cute, i’ve got to get this!”she picked out the cute teddies, and placed it in her cart.
She moved to the “make up“ section, she’s so obsessed with that.
She caught sight of an adorable “mascara“, and was about to pick it out too, when the lights suddenly went off.
👥 What just happened?!.
👥 Being in the dark frightens me, please do something!.
👥 How are we supposed to see?.
Dawn switched on her phone’s torch light, and scanned the whole room, with her eyes , like a “machine“.
A moment passed, and the lights were turned back on, dawn sighed in relief.
A lady dressed in black pants, and a white shirt peered out, she wasn’t smiling at all.
She must be the person in charge…
“Am so sorry for the inconveniences, it’s not our fault that this is happening. But you’ll must leave right this minute, young Amber Watson wants to shop here, and she dislikes crowds, just her in all sections!”dawn scoffed, and resumed what she was doing earlier on, no one was gonna treat her like a “bimbo“.
In no time, everyone vacated the premises, leaving dawn all to herself.
“Ma’am you’ve–“dawn shushed her…
“I’ll be going no where until am done with my shopping, whoever wants to shop can come in, this room is big enough for two people. Please shut the door on your way out”the lady was totally speechless, who the h**l was she?, she strode out with an emotionless face.
“OMG, who the h**l is stubborn fellow that’s tryna make me nuts?, wasn’t i absolutely clear when i said i wanted to shop alone?”she adjusted her mini skirt, and frowned, clutching her purse to herself…
She waited for a while, before she heard approaching footsteps…
“Huh?, did they let the dogs out?, there’s so much barking, my ear hurts!”ambers eyes widened, she hurriedly strode towards the bitch, but paused for some reason.
Huh?, when did she suddenly have guts?…
And why was she dressed so differently?…
She was totally dumbfounded, was she dreaming?…
“Gracious?, so you’re the one who’s tryna mess with me?. What we did to you last week wasn’t it enough?, hehehe!”dawn’s face curled into a frown, what was the bitch blabbing, she’s never even met her before…
Amber raised her hand, and made to smack dawn, but it was caught in mid-air.
Instead, dawn smacked her preety hard, twice.
“Did you just hit me?, what?”she placed a hand on her already swollen cheeks, sniffing in the tears that were battling to drop, it hurts so much…
Dawn roared in laughter, then glared hard at her…
“Don’t ever mess with me, bi*ch!”she kicked the edge of her heels, amber dropped to the floor, her head throbbing…
Her face puckered, ready to cry…
Cöward!!!…

NIGHT TIME>BLOCK 11**
It was extremely windy, the sky a darker shade of black..
The curtains danced in rythm of the wind, as the tin roof made “weird“ creaking sounds.
Gracious placed a duvet over her head, as she thought about how “special“ her day was, she wasn’t sleepy.
Her windows suddenly creaked open, she felt the hair rising on the back of her neck.
Maybe it was the wind…
She wasn’t so sure, but there was only one way her question could be answered…
Ohh! no, she was too freightned to do it…
It closed shut once again, she thought whoever it was must have left, she shifted on the bed, and peeked through the sheets.
Her heart almost left her chest when she saw “someone“, standing in the dark room, watching her closely.
She couldn’t see his face, nor recognize his scent, but it was clear he was dressed in all “black“.
She took the risks, and rose to her feet, trying to reach for the switches.
He ran after her, and stopped her in time, placing his hands on the switch.
Gracious gulped hard at nothing…
Her heart was palpitating, she couldn’t think straight…
“Let me go else i’ll shout!”he scoffed, and stared down at her lips, it was just so inviting…
He smirked, pinching his brows…
“If you shout, i’ll kiss you to shut up!”gracious took steps back, and unluckily for her, she hit her back on the wall.
He caged her on the wall, a hand on her waist…
“Somebody help–“he placed a hand on her lips, preventing her from yelling.
“I warned you okay, you’re so stubborn!”her heart beat faster, and faster, as he inched closer, and his face came up to hers.
As his lips touched hers, she blossomed like a flower…
It felt like she was frozen in a moment in time…
Her first kiss, a special moment, giving away to a total “nobody“.
She could feel, and hear his heart beat…
There was a bridge of energy, being shared between both of them..
Her brain got trickered to release a cocktail of chemicals that left her feeling “oh so good“, by igniting the pleasure centers of her brain.
“No, please don’t–“he broke the kiss, and stared into her eyes, was she crying right now…
He broke the kiss, and wiped her tears, with the back of his hands…
“Why did you?, i asked you not to!, please kiss me, don’t stop!. You’ve got to finish what you started!”his eyes widened, huh?, was she being serious right now?.
She grabbed the elm of his shirt, and pulled him closer, brushing her lips against his, in one “deep“ kiss.
