Chapter 6

• Eric couldn’t sleep; Series of thoughts were going to and fro in his head. He knew he promised Doctor Myers not to stalk Annie Davis but he couldn’t help but want to know more about her since she might be carrying his child. He wanted to know what she looked like, what she does for a living. He wanted to know if she has had dinner already. Damn, he was so curious. He wished he had her phone number or her home address.
• Eric didn’t know what came over him when he took his laptop and searched for the name ANNIE DAVIS. He groaned when he saw thousands of people bearing that name. Of course, what did he expect?
• “What do I do?” He murmured as he kept on scrolling through. He clicked on a link which directed him to all the Annie Davis on Facebook.
• Fortunately, most of the Annie Davis he saw were either younger or older and the Annie Davis he was searching for was someone close to his age according to the description Doctor Myers gave him.
• Eric was almost giving up when a picture caught his attention. He clicked on the profile to get more information.
• As he scrolled through, he saw that this particular lady was a mutual friend to Doctor Myers and his wife. Eric smiled as if he just won a jackpot. This might be the lady he was looking for.
• He clicked on her pictures and to say Eric was blown away would be an understatement. In the whole 30 years of his existence, he had never seen a lady as beautiful as she was. After admiring all her pictures, Eric went to her post and her last post was a picture of Dr Myers celebrating him for his birthday which Dr Myers replied, thanking her.
• This was when he knew he had found His Annie.
• Eric decided to check out her info and saw her bio which stated that she was the owner of Ann’s Home and a YouTuber.
• He was impressed to know she was an independent woman.
• Eric clicked on the link in her bio and it directed him to Annie’s YouTube page. He was impressed she had a huge fan base, 436 thousand subscribers. He subscribed too and started watching her videos.
• The first video he watched was one where she did a tour of her beauty parlour and the services they offered. The place looked familiar to him and that was when he remembered that he had once dropped Elaina there for a spa treatment.
• The next video he watched was when she did a question and answer session. Towards the end of the video, Annie read out a question which Eric was surprisingly interested in.
• The question was “What type of qualities do you want in a man you would like to spend the rest of your life with and mention five celebrity guys you would like to hang out with.”
• He chuckled as Annie groaned after reading the question. She looked so adorable.
• And her answer went as follows. “First and foremost I want y’all to know I’m not dating anyone for now." Eric didn't know why but hearing this was such a relief to him. The video was uploaded not too long ago so there was a very high probability that she was still single.
• "But talking about the qualities I would like in a man I want to spend the rest of my life with, Firstly, He must be a lover of God. He must be respectful, hardworking, good-looking and obviously, must like me for who I am.”
• “So the top five celebrity guys I would love to hang out with. Hmm, let’s see.” She said, pretending to think for a while. Then she started mentioning their names and the reasons she would love to hang out with them. Then she said something that shocked Eric. He thought he heard the wrong thing so he clicked the rewind button and he heard the statement again which made him grin like crazy.
• “The final celebrity guy I would love to hang out with is Eric Ivan-James. Honestly, I would love to meet him one on one and ask him how he does his things. You all can testify that I’m not exaggerating because we all know he’s hardworking and very successful. There was a time I almost made him my role model.” She said with a chuckle.
• “Another thing about Eric is that....” He smiled hearing the way his name rolled off her tongue.
• “I’m a very sincere person and y’all will agree with me that Eric is sexy as hell. There was a time Ella and I used to buy Times Magazine just to admire his sexy body.” Eric laughed out loud. That was when he used to model for Times Magazine. His contract with them was over that’s why he stopped modelling for them. Although they pleaded for him to renew and other modelling contracts came but he lost interest in the Job because they were bringing unnecessary attention as he wanted to focus on his businesses.
• “Besides, another thing I greatly admire about Eric is that he adores his family and I find that so adorable. I mean he’s a very busy person but he still makes time for his family. It reminds me of high school. I used to be in the same class as his sister and he was always there for her. Even after he graduated, he came for all her shows and plays. I know all these because I’m kind of an Ivan-James fan so I’m up to date with every talk and gossip. But honestly, I love and respect their bond as a family.”
• “So if I get the opportunity to hang out with him, I honestly don’t know what I’ll say to him. I mean, I don’t even think I’ll ever get to meet him and If I do which I know is almost impossible, I guess I’ll tell him how much I’ve always adored him.
• “So that’s all for today. Thanks for watching. I will see you guys in my next video. Bye.” The video ended with a priceless smile plastered on Eric’s face.
