3 How We Met

April 10 2000( 20 years ago)

Today has been such an hectic day but I have no complaints because I love my job. I mean what else is better than saving people who are helpless and are at the lowest point of their lives? and no, before you think I'm a doctor, I'm a very successful and learned lawyer and I'm very proud of it.

After taking over my dad's law firm and making it the number one most sought after in the country its something to make your parents proud right? No, not mine though. There has been so much pressure on me from my mom to get married because my mates have gotten married but how am I supposed to when I don't even have a boyfriend.

I feel like my whole life has been planned by my mom ever since I was given birth to. being an only child obviously made me the "Daddy's girl" and trust me I've loved every bit of it. But anytime my mom is included my dad always takes her side. I'm complaining this much because as I got back from the office I got a call from my mom and she kept singing her anthem, "You have to get married, don't you want to be happy? Take a look at your friends, don't you envy that?"

Don't get me wrong. It's not like I don't want to get married but I'm just always busy and I wont eventually have time to go on dates. Maybe if I found someone who's just like me we could hook up and get married. What are the chances really?

Anyways, I decided to eat out as I don't have enough strength to cook by myself now. I order a complete meal in the fanciest restaurant close to my house. As I waited for my food a young man about my age in a grey suit walks up to me.

"Is this seat taken?''. He asks and being the friendly person I am, I reply with a simple "No" in the nicest voice I could muster in my tired frustrated state. Not to my surprise, he sits in front of me and silence follows. This awkward silence goes for like five minutes and I begin to wonder how long it takes to prepare a meal.

I try not to stare at this man but I couldn't control myself because his beauty is the kind that entraps you and makes countless women fall at his feet if you know what I mean.

He clears his throat and begins to talk. "Sorry for my lack of manners, I'm Adam Kapet and I must say you're the most beautiful woman I've ever met in my entire life". Woah, calm down Jamal, my mind says and I refrain myself from bursting out. I'm about to reply when my waitress brings my meal, "Thank you" I say to her.

"Queen, the name's Queen Hearn". I say with a courtly smile. His name does sound familiar though. "Sorry, but are you the Adam Kapet from Smith's and Kapet's Group of Industries?" I say in an inquisitive tone.

His face breaks into a smile and he approves of my question. His company was founded by him and his bestfriend and turns out he loves talking about his friend.

The rest of the night is spent with him trying to introduce me to his friend Ethan Smith and I had no other choice but to agree, because why not. I have nothing to loose. He invites me to a birthday party where he was sure Ethan would be there and thank God its a weekend I could create space to go.

NB: For you to understand I made a flashback to how they met.
