Sequence 14

“I am here to see Mr. Mbao” I told his secretary
“Do you have an appointment madam?” she asked
“Do I look like I can come all the way to this place if I have no appointment?” I asked angrily
“I was just following the procedure” she said
“Hey I don’t have all day please tell Justine that Miss Chansa is here to see him” I said
She tried to say something but I gave her a deadly stare I was ready to pounce on her if she continued speaking, she stood up and went to his office than came back a minute and told me to go in.
“Was that so hærd to do?” I asked and clicked my tongue as I made my way to his office.
When I got in he was facing the other way, his office looked amazing, there were some paintings of the wall, and some photographs, I have never been to his office because all the time I visited his company I always met with his marketing personnel (Christopher). The only times I have met Justine was at corporate events or when he visited our company.
“Mr. Mbao” I called out. He turned and smiled at me.
“Miss Chansa good to see you again please take a sit” he said
I took a sit and removed my notebook and pen ready to get instructions for their new advert.
“So Christine said you have some issues to discuss about your next advert, why am I not having this meeting with Christopher?” I asked
“He is busy” he said
“Okay let’s get started what details are removing and what are we adding?” I asked
“What can I offer you Pam?” he asked
“Miss Chansa?” I replied
“Why are you being too formal Pam?” he asked
“I am here for business can we talk because I have other things to deal with” I said
“Please here me out Pam, I have a lot to tell you” he said
“I have no time to play” I said and stood up so I could leave but he came in front of me and begged me, there was sincerity in his voice so I decided to hear him out once and for all so I could get this over with.
“You have 5 minutes” I said
“Thank you for this opportunity” he said
“Four minutes more “I said as I looked at my watch
“I like you Pam , I liked you the day I set my eyes on you I couldn’t get close to you because I was informed about your marriage but when I heard about your divorce I made it a point to get close to you, please don’t push me away” he said
“Justine I just got divorced 3 months ago what makes you think I would want to get close to another man?” I asked
“I can wait till you heal, let me help you heal, let me help you get better” he said
“I am sorry I can’t do that, having a man close by is the last thing on my mind” I said
“Please Pam don’t do this to me” he said
“Justine for Christ’s sake what is wrong with you? Can’t you just get it and back off? I recently got out of a painful marriage and now I am going to be a mother do you think I have time to entertain your nonsense?” I asked
“You are pregnant?” he asked
“Yes and I hope that will make you back off” I yelled
“You really want me to back off?” he asked
“Yes Justine, you are so irritating, you get on my last nerves with your calls, messages and gifts I have a lot on my plate so please of please give me some air you are suffocating me” I said
“Fine Pam if that’s want I will back off “he whispered
I looked at him and for the first time I felt pity for him, he looked so sad but there was nothing I could do for him, I have been hurt once I wasn’t going to allow myself to get hurt again. I needed to protect myself from men and all the drama men come with.
“I will get going now” I said
“At least let me give you a good bye hug” he said
I walked to his side and hugged him, he held me so tight for some time and for a moment I felt peaceful like that’s where I belonged, after a while he pulled out of the hug and pecked me on my chin then said bye. I got my bag and he walked me to the door. I drove off the minute I got into the car, I was happy that Justine had finally gotten the message. I drove into town and bought myself some dresses then went back to the office.
I didn’t have so much to do at the office so I knocked off early, I had a huge craving for Ice cream and I immediately drove to cream land and bought myself a bucket of Vanilla ice cream.
I got home and found Chloe and Joe getting dressed for an outing so it was just me and the kids for the evening. We played some games then watched movies as we ate our ice cream. I didn’t feel like cooking so we ordered Pizza after eating, we all went to sleep the kids slept in my room.
……………………………………
It’s been two weeks since Justine and I talked, I am just glad that he hasn’t called or visited me this all means he got my message loud and clear, how can one be inconsiderate I mean I just got divorced a few months back and he is already following me, the fact that I am no longer a married woman doesn’t mean I have moved on already, it takes time for one to move on and forget their Ex, I still miss my husband and they are times I just sit down and reflect on our lives together, I know I have to move on because he has moved on already but it will take time for me to do that.
Monday morning I woke up and took a cold shower because I was feeling extremely hot, after the bath I checked through my closet for something I could wear I was glad Chloe had taken me shopping the previous week at least I now had comfortable clothes. I settled for a white flared dress with purple flowers and purple wedges. I applied some make up and tied my braids in a pony.
“Someone looks amazing” Chloe said when I went to the kitchen
“All thanks to you, I feel so thirsty, where is my water?” I said
“I was almost bringing it to your room, here” she said as she handed me some lemon water
From the time I got pregnant I usually drink lemon water , sometimes I just peel the lemon and eat it like that, Chloe laughs at me because I have never been a fan of lemon I always hated its bitter taste but now I enjoy it to the fullest.
“I feel better now” I told her after I finished drinking my water then packed some in a bottle
“Sit down and have your breakfast” Chloe said
I did as I was told, a few minutes later Joe and the kids rushed to the dining table where we all sat to have our breakfast. I enjoyed the food and when I was done I pushed the chair backwards so I could stand up. As I was about to stand up I felt a slight kick in the tummy, it was wired because it was the first time I was feeling this kind of movement in my tummy. I was surprised I opened my mouth as if to say something then Chloe made her way to me and touched my tummy and also felt the kick.
“Oh it has started kicking” she exclaimed with a big smile
“Really?” I asked
I was so happy to know my baby had started kicking nothing can be compared to what I felt at that moment it was amazing, I couldn’t help but shed a little tear afterwards.
“Oh don’t cry baby” Chloe said and hugged me
I hugged her tight “I am just happy I never thought I could ever feel this kind of joy “I said
Afterwards I drove myself for working while singing along to the song Bulie by Preye Odede which was playing on the radio. I got to work smiling and in a happy mood.
“Being pregnant suits you” My boss commented as she gave me some apples
“Thank you auntie Christine” I smiled then got back to work
Each time I am working I can’t help but touch my tummy and brush on it, I really can’t wait to hold this baby I do the countdown each and every day that’s how anxious i really am.
I have been feeling tired lately so I avoid meetings outside the office. I invited one of our clients to the office so we could discuss our contract and by the time we were done it was lunch time. I was thinking about going out when my office phone rang.
“Someone is here to see you” My secretary said
“Oh okay let them in” I responded
The guy walked in carrying big plastic bags and asked if I was Miss Pam Chansa, when I said yes he gave me the plastics and told me someone had sent them for me. I signed for the parcel and after he left I opened them one by one.
“Awwwww” I exclaimed after seeing what was in one of the plastics
It was some baby clothes I quickly removed them and put them on the table while admiring them. I held the little tiny dress and shoes in my hand, they were really pretty I couldn’t wait to see my baby dressed in such these clothes.
In one of the plastic was some food and a note, I removed it so I could see who had sent the parcels even though deep down I had an idea who it was.
“HEY I THOUGHT I SHOULD SEND YOU THIS, I UNDERSTAND YOU ARE NOT READY FOR A RELATIONSh¡p BUT PLEASE CAN WE JUST BE FRIENDS? I PROMISE I WILL BEHAVE AND PLEASE PRETTY UNBLOCK ME.” JUSTINE
I was so in love with the baby stuff he sent, he was the first one to buy my baby clothes because Chloe and I had set a date to go shopping for the baby the coming week. “He must be a nice guy and there is no harm in being friends” I thought
I unblocked him and decided to give him a call.
“Thank you for the clothes” I said as soon as he answered
“You are more than welcome” he replied
“I really appreciate I am sure my baby will be more than glad to wear the pretty clothes” I responded
“I am so happy you have unblocked me Pam” he said
“Well its fine I guess there is no harm” I said
“So when can we go out to celebrate our new found friendsh¡p” he asked
“Let’s do that on Friday” I replied
“It’s a date” he said
Making Justine my friend didn’t mean I was going to date him, I just thought there was no harm in being friends with him, if he can be a great friend to me then I will be just that to him.
The week progressed so fast and before I could realize it, it was Friday. On Friday I knocked off early so I could prepare for the date with Justine. He promised to pick me up at 7 PM. I reached home and had some ice cream then took a bath and wore a blue short dress with boots since it was a little cold outside.
“You look pretty where to?” Chloe asked
“Meeting up with Justine” I said
“Ohhhhhhhh” she exclaimed
“Chloe don’t get any ideas” I said
“Oh please I am just happy to see you going out and having a friend” she said
Minutes late Justine picked me up, he was wearing a blue ripped jean, black T-shirt and black sneakers, I couldn’t help but admire how well and he relaxed he looked in the casual outfit.
“So where are we heeding to?” I asked
“It’s a surprise” he said
I thought he was taking me an expensive resultant but surprisingly he took me to his place, the place looked great, he opened my door when we drove in then he held my hand and we walked in,side together then he lead me to the living room, he had such nice couches and everything else in the room looked expensive an unique.
“Wow I like this house” is said
“Thanx, please feel at home while I prepare us supper” he said
“Wow you are cooking?” I asked
“Yes I am in the mean time what can I offer you?” he asked
“Just some juice” I said
He gave me the Juice and went to prepare us dinner I was amazed at the kind of man because of the men I know hate cooking. When I asked to help he refused and told me I was a guest and I needed to be treated well. I sat and tuned to Channel O.
When he was done he served the table and called me, I couldn’t wait to taste what he had cooked because it smelled heavenly. He cooked Spaghetti Bolognese and after he dished up for me he waited till I tested before he started eating.
“Wow this food is nice” I said
We started eating and talked about a lot of things I got to know a wh0le lot about him by the time he was taking me home.
