He was about reply her when he saw a when by Pera adventure, he turned and saw a lady looking around and walking towards their side. Hot sweat broke down from his forehead as he removed his baseball cap and was dabbing his face.
 
He cleaned his eyes and couldn’t believe what his eyes was telling him.
 
She was looking around, as if looking for someone, in the eatery and for sure, he knew that she would sure raise dust and embarrass the living tatarus out of him, if he wasn’t careful.
 
Acting as if on instinct, he clutched onto his stomach and squeezed his face.
 
Sandra noticing the change of countenance asked to know what the problem was.
 
“Please a minute, I wanna make use of the restroom.”
Stanley said smiling in pretense discomfort, while still clutching on his belly.
 
“oooops!! I’m sorry dear, that should be a stomach upset.”
She said as he hurried away to the restroom and changed his walking steps to avoid being recognized.
 
Sandra turned and saw Lola approaching her table smiling.
 
“I’m sorry babe, that I couldn’t make it. The call was an unplanned one.”
The beautiful Lola said.
 
Lola is a very beautiful lady who looked so petite and nice.
She was the fragile type and had a high taste for make 💄 ups and she had the figure of a model.
 
” It’s ok dear.”
Sandra said as they both gave each other a cheek brush.
 
“I saw a well dressed guy leaving your table, don’t tell me you are already warming up to mingle.”
Lola said smiling.
 
“Of course not. He is just one of the dude trying to be friendly and trust me the guy is damn cool and funny.”
Sandra said still putting on her smile.
 
“Seriously? But funny enough, can you believe that this same cool and funny stuff was the same thing that made me fall for Stanley?”
Lola said a kind of sadly.
 
“It’s ok dear. You got to move forward and forget about guys who doesn’t deserve you.”
Sandra told her and Lola smiled, as she waved her hands as if to say that it was already an old case.
 
“That’s OK i got to be going for the meeting now.”
Lola said and pecked Sandra on the cheek and walked off.
Sandra watched her as she hopped into her car and drove off.
 
Few minutes later, Stanley walked up and sat down on his chair.
 
“High you seem lost in thought.”
Stanley asked her.
 
“Ohhh!! You are back? Nothing much just reflecting on somethings since I’m a kind of alone.”
Sandra said wearing a fake smile.
 
Stanley had all this while gone to a corner and hid there as he watched both Sandra and Lola laugh and discuss.
 
He knew that this affair of hid would become mission impossible part two, if he didn’t thread cautiously.
 
“YYou look beautiful while you smile.”
Stanley said in admiration.
 
“Thanks i appreciate.”
She said shyly.
 
“What are your hobbies?”
Stanley asked her.
 
“I love reading online stories and listening to music, whenever I’m free from work.”
Sandra said and Stanley smiled, he had really gotten to the point he needed.
 
“Guess what?”
He said.
 
“What? I’m not good with guessing.”
She said.
 
“Just give it a try, you might miraculously get it.”
 
“OK your girl friend is pregnant.”
She said laughing and Stanley couldn’t help but squeeze his face a bit before joining in her laughter. ”
” Hahaha!! That’s ridiculous.”
Stanley said.
 
” OK I just guess and without being told I failed, so tell me what you have in stocks for me.”
 
” OK, I’m equally an online writer, I do wrote stories and upload it online when I got the time.”
He told her.
 
” Wow!! That’s great, what is the name of your stories? Let me know if I have read any?”
 
” I have four stories to my credit though I’m working on the fourth currently, titled The Lost Diary. The others are Clash of Interest, Terrors of The past and The Love That Stood Like A Rock.”
He said.
 
” Wow!! So you are the author of terrors of the past, I’m in the season two, I really love the story.”
She said and he nodded.
 
” That was really good, read especially The lost diary.”
He said and she nodded and suddenly paused when she heard the diary mentioned.
 
” Why the change of mood?”
He asked as immediately he made mention of the diary her mood changed, he really said it to know her reaction.
 
” Ohhh!! It’s nothing. Just that the name seems lovely.”
She said and Stanley closed the case and brought up a new discussion.
 
The day went so fast and full of fun that before you know it, it was already 6.00pm and they were still discussing non stop and Stanley drew funny and playful remarks which left her smiling and laughing happily like a baby and forgetting her troubles.
 
In the end they went their separate ways with both sharing their contacts and and social media status.
 
On his way back Stanley called Steve to tell him how he went about it all.
 
“Guy gbese for don gas today oo!!
Stanley said to Steve over the phone in,side the cab, he was in.
 
Stanley told him all that happened and Steve was silent for a while.
 
” Guy talk na!!”
Stanley said after waiting for him.
 
” You know what Stanley? I want us to talk. I have an idea but I won’t say it over the phone, just come over to my place let’s talk.”
Steve said.
 
“OK I will be on my way right now.”
Stanley said.
 
“Stanley put an end to the call and gave the driver to Steve’s house.
While the driver drove, Stanley sat back as he was lost in thought.
