100 Days With Mr Romero

Emma wore a tight jean trouser with a sweater on. She grabbed her purse and hurriedly dashed out because she didn’t want to keep Mike waiting outside. She locked her door, slipped the key in her favorite purse and soon, she and Mike began walking down the street. “You will get accustom to the whole environment in a short while. ” she told Mike after noticing how he kept looking from left to right. “I hope so. ” he replied. “Am just months old here and am beginning to get hold of the entire city so am sure in little or no time, you’ll get along too. ” she assured him. “You just moved in? ” he asked her. “Yea from New York. ” she said hoping he wouldn’t ask why and luckily he didn’t. “I hope I won’t be a bug because I will be needing guide in accessing essential areas for the main time. ” Mike requested. “No it’s cool. I will help as much as I can. ” Emma told him.

On their way to the grocery store after walking for few minutes, Emma noticed Sam’s limousine parked across the street in front of Dreville restaurant. She was familiar with the vehicle so she had a strong conviction that it was Sam’s. After Emma and Mike took more steps further, she noticed Sam seating in the car with a lady opposite him. The windows of the car were pulled down exposing Sam and the lady. Immediately, Emma noticed them, she lowered her steps and stretched her neck to get a clearer vision which Mike noticed. Emma looked intently and confirmed that it was Sam sitting in the car with a strange lady. The lady was scantily dressed in a red dress and high boot heels which was revealed because her legs were crossed. They were laughing out loud and seemed to be enjoying each others company.

Emma could feel her heart clenching and she kept wondering why. And so what if Sam was being intimate with a hot looking lady? It didn’t matter to her after all they weren’t dating. Why was she feeling so uncomfortable? She wondered. Her mind drifted to New York. She recalled the clip of Gideon and Judy in their compromising position. She fumed and told herself that all men are bound to cheat. Was the lady Sam’s girlfriend? She thought. Was he seeing another lady while wooing her? Or maybe she’s just a business ally she concluded. Whatever the case may be, it wasn’t her business after all. She and Mike were moving away from the limousine but Emma still turned around. Meanwhile, Mike had been talking all the way and Emma had been mute. “Are you sure you are okay? ” he asked sounding a bit louder than usual. “Yea. ” she quickly replied. “You seemed lost a moment ago.” He told her and she said nothing.

Meanwhile, Sam had opened the car door and his business partner stepped down. He looked down the road and caught a glimpse of Emma who immediately turned around and their eyes met. “Oh my God! ” he mumbled. “Are you okay? ” asked his business partner. “Yes I am okay. ” he replied. In his heart, Sam prayed Emma didn’t have a different idea of him and Stacy his business partner. He likes Emma and wouldn’t want her to assume he was playing around. Hope she didn’t see him he thought because he was chatting and laughing with Stacy in the limousine and his windscreen was down. Who was that heading to the grocery store with Emma? He thought. Sam then drove away to his club.

“Thank you very much. ” said Mike after they had returned from the grocery store with Emma. “Feel free to let me know if you will be needing anything. ” Emma told him and he smiled exposing his twin dimples which Emma found fascinating. “I am Emma by the way. ” she said extending her right hand for a handshake. “You can call me Emma. ” she quickly added. He shook her smiling. “I am Mike. I guess you know that already. ” he said and she nodded. “So I’ll leave you now to rest while I’ll go make dinner. ” he told her. “Ok then. ” she said heading for her apartment while he headed for his.

Emma sat on her couch licking ice cream but she wasn’t sure if it was really too sweet or too cold. Her senses were drawn back to the lady in Sam’s car. Sam never even bothered to call her. She thought. Maybe he didn’t really care or never actually did. Was his plan to get her and toy with her? she wondered then shook her head from left to right. Henceforth, she told herself. She will have no emotional attachments towards any man. Moreover, all men are the same she thought. If Gideon whom she loved and adored and who in turn claimed to love her more than anything will hurt her, then who was she to assume good men still exist. Suddenly, her door bell rang. She opened it and saw Mike standing with a bowl in his hand. “I brought this for you. ” he said presenting to her a bowl of hot potato chips and eggs. She was a bit surprised because she had not expected such kind of gesture. She collected the bowl carefully and thanked him while he smiled, waved and left.

“I just hope he doesn’t like me. ” Emma said out loud. Because if he really liked her, she was sure she will disappoint him especially with her current ideology on men. She dropped the cup of ice cream on the table and was soon crunching the well fried potatoes. They were well dried and oil free just the way she loved it. He cooks well commented Emma in her mind. In few minutes, Emma had cleared the bowl of potato chips and was licking her fingers. Tomorrow, she had made up her mind to complement Mike and tell him how well he cooks. She grabbed a copy of Robert Green’s Law of human nature and began reading. Tomorrow, she will continue her job hunting. “To hell with Samuel. ” she cursed.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
