Chapter 8 Running?.

• # The next morning....
• I woke up to the blaring of my alarm and I groaned.
• Geez...
• Is it morning again?.
• Ugh!.
• I reached out to stop the alarm and then sat up.
• Gosh.
• I yawned hungrily before getting out of the bed.
• I walked to the bathroom and went to brush my teeth.
• After I was done brushing,I moved out of my room and went to the kitchen.
• A delicious aroma hit my nose and I smiled.
• "How was your date yesterday night?."mom asked from behind.
• I turned to her then paused.
• Do I say good?...
• What?,was it good?.
• With the psycho guy and all?..
• "Well,cool.."I replied then turned back.
• "I'm glad to hear that."mom said as she moved in front of me.
• I simply nod my head.
• I grab a plate from the rack and went to the pot.
• "Mhhhh..."I moaned out as I inhaled the delicious aroma that gushed out from the pot as I opened it.
• "I prepared your favorite,do you like it?."mom asked me.
• I turned to her and smiled.
• "Are you kidding?.. I love it!."
• Mom nodded with a smile and I turned away from her.
• I took the spoon and dished out my food in the plate.
• "Ahh..I can't just get enough of deep - dish pizza. Thanks momma. Ya the best!."I winked at her as I moved out of the kitchen with my plate.
• I went to the dinning table and placed my plate on the table then drew out a chair then sat down.
• I clapped my hands happily then took a handful of the pizza inside my mouth.
• Hmm mmmh..
• Oh,God.
• This is so good...
• Yummy!.
• I took another handful and drop it inside my mouth.
• "We sold well at the convenience store yesterday so I decided to treat you to a nice meal today..is the food good by the way?."mom asked while dusting the couch.
• "Is there any food you've made that isn't good?."I asked her amidst munching.
• "Yeah, right?."mom smiled nervously.
• "I was beginning to wonder about the reason why you would prepare my favorite but you came at the right time to clear my thoughts."I smiled.
• Ohh...
• This is so delicious....
• The more I keep eating,the more I keep yearning for more.
• "Uhm!."mo cleared her throat, probably to gain back my attention.
• I took my eyes to her and she itched the back of her neck.
• "So,I....can you come over to the convenience store tonight?,after you're done at the office?."she asked.
• "Okay."I nodded my head obediently.
• "Alright.."mom smiled then turned back to her chores.
• **
• "Was it good?,your date with the guy?.."Diana sneaked inside my office and asked as quietly as she could.
• I jerked back and breathed out when I saw it was her.
• "Did I scare you?..,I didn't mean to?.."she said quietly again.
• "Gosh, Diana. We have so much to do in this week, you shouldn't be sneaking around like this and,I heard you were given Mr James case."I expounded as I swirled around on my chair.
• "Oh, please. Save me that, Janelle. I want the full gist about yesterday.."she rolled her eyes.
• I dropped the files I was going through on the table then paused.
• "You really wanna know?."I asked her.
• I watched as her eyes shone bright from curiosity.
• "Yes,I wanna know."she replied.
• "Go get Mr James down first."I replied then grab the file that I dropped on the table back.
• "What?,you little..."she tried to say but stopped.
• "Bitch."I completed her statement.
• "Ugh.. I'm coming back for.."she haven't finished her statement when we heard the chief calling out to her.
• "See?.., you're busted!."I smiled.
• She huffed and stomped out of my office.
• **
• Diana walked inside my office and scoffed.
• "You going for lunch or not?."she asked.
• I tilt my head then replied her,"yeah."
• "Well, let's go."she rolled her eyes.
• "Let's go?,I won't be having lunch with you. I already promised Josh a lunch today."I informed as I stood up.
• "Wait, really?. Awnnn..."Diana cupped her cheeks in both her palms and I gave her a weird glance.
• "Bye then."I said and moved out of the office.
• "Yeah,bye. Go catch some fun with your man,girl.."she said after me and I scoffed but then smiled.
• I walked out of the building and started walking on the streets.
• The place isn't that far from here so I will just trek down there.
• I have no reason to waste my money on taking a cab.
• It's just a twenty minutes walk and I still have one hour for break.
• After walking for some minutes,i began feeling strange about a particular guy that kept following me.
• I turned into a sharp corner and after some minutes,I glanced back to see that the guy have also turned.
• Okay?..
• What the heck?!.
• I started walking faster while glancing at him at every intervals.
• And then, without thinking twice,I took to my heels, running down the street.
