Homepage/A PICTURE OF HIM/
chapter 16
.........
The day is bright and beautiful, I slept so comfortable that I woke up very late, it seems this habit of waking up late would never stop. My best friend was really my helper during college, she would try her best to wake me up at the right time. But, there is a big change, back then I can actually sleep and forget my meals, now it's never that way, maybe because I'm grown with so much responsibilities.
I rushed up from my bed lazily stretching my self like I had worked all night, oh is already late, I exclaimed, but was I expecting it to be early, considering the time I slept and my love for sleep. My new apartment is also contributing a lot to it, it makes me feel so cool and comfortable. I have so many things to do today and I really need to manage my time appropriately.
I was feeling so hungry, like I wrestled all night in my dream, though is normal to feel that way, but this morning, my stomach is at war, I wondered which of my organisms are battling and the cause of the war, lolz.
I walked into the bathroom and observed my oral hygiene , including my morning face routine. I have gradually started taking care of my skin and I'm really looking great more than ever. My skin is one thing I really love so much and taking good care of it gives me joy, but I stopped for a very long time due to money and time, but so glad I'm back to pampering it, though I'm beautiful but there is still lot of changes on my skin.
I walked into the kitchen to at least make breakfast, tea is my favorite and I always enjoy it with tossed bread. After the meal, I cleaned up the kitchen and I decided to have some rest before I resume for the day; you know that feeling of being extremely tired after meal, right?
I felt like sleeping again and waking up during the mid day, but the drawing needs to be delivered including visiting Kamara. After few minutes of rest, I felt better and decided to prepare for the out door activities.
I walked into the bathroom, is funny how my room is turning into a purple house, almost everything in my bathroom is purple and it's looking so girly and fine.
I took my bath and dressed up, I walked out of my house to go deliver the drawings. The woman has already called me countless times which I promised that I must definitely deliver today, I wonder what she uses so much drawing for, maybe she loves it, but she has been a regular customer, this time I would be delivering her drawing to her son and not her.
My phone rings
"Hello, is this Clara?" the voice asked. It was a male voice, I answered him. He introduced himself as Richard and stated he is waiting for the delivery, he dropped his location and I boarded a cab to meet up with him. The drive was so smooth and enjoyable, the music he played was so cool, I took his number Incase I need him next time.
I got down from the cab and he left. Raising my head I saw a very good looking man standing at the gate side, he looked so handsome like Mr. Nich if not more.
Clara, comport yourself, maybe he isn't the one my mind said.
I tried calling the number again and his phone rang.
"Oh it's you," I said not knowing what to say .
"Hello miss Clara," he greeted first .
It's seems he has known or heard much about me even without me saying anything to him.
"You look gorgeous," he complimented and I smiled in return.
We worked into the compound, it was a very beautiful space, the decoration , pool and flower all over. He seemed to love nature so much or he has a unique taste of beautification, he has a very beautiful short trees and I can tell it's well taken care of.
I followed him gently while he kept on leading the way, unexpectedly his dog barked and I shouted. I never expected such, the dog was in chain but I was absent minded and the barking really got me.
"I'm sorry my lady, it won't hurt you," he said softly trying to calm me down.
My face was already red, I felt a bit embarrassed, 'must I act weird around handsome men?' I asked myself.
I followed him till we got into the sitting room, it seems he is living alone. The interior decoration is extremely beautiful, I was appreciating the compound, but here looks like a small heaven, wow I exclaimed calmly, I could see my drawings, so he has been asking his mum to get those drawings, now I understand better because she doesn't look like a fan of drawings, but I have always thought she had an art gallery but doesn't want to reveal.
I brought out the drawing and presented it to him, he was wow and kept on thanking me. It's funny how my customers do thank me instead of the reverse. I made sure I called the woman to notify her before leaving the house, at least to prove the delivery were successful.
"Do you care for a drink?" he asked.
"Thank you," I respectfully rejected.
We talked for a while and I decided to leave, I have other places to be but I don't want to act like I'm in a haste.
"Can we talk more next time?" he asked.
He sounds so innocent like one who can't hurt a fly. I gave him a positive reply and left to the other places, but the guy is really cute.
I'm attracted to beautiful creatures and I can't explain why. I boarded another cab that took me to the hospital where Kamara was admitted.
Even at the hospital, I was making heads turn, I called her and her neighbor came to pick me.
"Good day ma," I greeted on seeing her neighbor, a dark beautiful lady but looking so unkept.
"Good day beautiful aunty," she replied smiling while touching my skin.
I smiled too, not knowing what to respond.
"You are so beautiful," she added.
"Thank you ma," I replied her.
We climbed the staircase leading to the room where Kamara was given. A hospital is not a beautiful place to visit, I saw many people with different sicknesses, my heart was already trembling, I tried holding myself together.
On seeing Kamara, my tears dropped. I stared at her like there was an exchange, I was in total disbelief, I didn't know when I bursted out. It's so weird how they were comforting me, instead of me doing that.
Kamara was looking like a creature I can't describe, but why would I want to kill myself and die in silent because of pride. Kamara has really passed through a lot, her beautiful full hair has weened off, her skin, her body stature, everything about her was just strange; I had so many questions but I needed to allow her regain her health for now. Lots of injury on her skin, women always take a big risk, most times I wonder who gave them the orientation that a man can still love you while he beats you. Some women would also justify the man, while placing the blames on themselves.
"Clara, I'm really sorry, I regretted every of my action, I thought he loved me but I didn't know it was love from afar, I'm miserable, I'm in pains, just look at me," she said while crying.
The neighbor was just staring at us, it was really an emotional moment for me, I got my courage back and assured her everything would be fine.
The doctor came in to discharge us, the bill was given and I paid. I was thinking where Kamara would stay, I really don't want to have a roommate anymore and she can't go back to that street. I offered the woman some money which made her so happy, she kept on praying for me till she got to her bus stop, we waved each other bye and she left happily.
I kept on communicating with my mind on where to place Kamara, I decided to let her stay at least for two weeks to regain her strength and health before renting an apartment for her, leaving her all to herself is really a bad decision.Download Novelah App
