You Again?

CHAPTER TWO

The frosty Saturday morning hit Jim right in his room,he got up,on the heater and retired to his bed.

When it was 7:30am, Jim got up from the bed,directed towards the toilet to ease himself. Few minutes after that he took his iPhone 6 from the bed,logged into his Facebook account and replied some messages. His Facebook profile picture was "killing" the girls as Jim is a chocolate-skinned,tall and handsome man in his late twenties. He gets at least 20 females sending him friend request almost everyday,but Jim wasn't attracted to dating online,he even thinks that the only reason why he's on Facebook was because he felt that as a young man he should have a social media account and that has been Facebook. It wasn't up to ten minutes,he logged out and dropped the phone on the bed. He reached for his toothbrush in the bathroom and brushed.

His doorbell rang. Jim walked towards the door,opened it and it was his colleagues knocking.

"Good morning Mr Jim..we came to say hi" one of them said as they came in.

"Did you guys plan this visit?" Jim said smiling.

"Why not? Here's my gift to you Jim" Joyce,a colleague said and handed Jim a wrapped gift.

"Thanks Joyce. You guys are wonderful" Jim said.

"Mine is not really a gift,it's a card...you can apply for a job in this company maybe they have vacant positions" Tade said with a business card he handed to Jim.

"Thanks Tade" Jim thanked him with an encouraging smile.

His friends gulped down the drinks in the fridge with the snacks and foods in the kitchen. Jim was so happy they dropped by.

Around 3:30 in the afternoon,Jim's house was a mess. He mobbed the house and washed the plates. After the chores,he became tired and hungry so he went to the kitchen and ate some snacks and decided to go to the nearest mall to get some food stuffs.

When he got there,first he took some pictures of him grinning and then collected a shopping basket.

Jim was going round looking for stuffs to buy when his basket hit a bag dropped near him,he bent down to pick it.

"What are you doing?" Said the voice near him. He stood up and turned to see who.

It the pretty lady he met at the train station.

"You?" They both chorused.

"And why are you touching my bag?" The lady asked snatching her bag from him.

"My basket mistakenly hit your bag down and then I was picking..." Jim was immediately interupted.

"Please save your explanation,I don't need it. Be watchful while walking" the lady rudely said.

They retired to their shopping pretending not to have seen each other before but Jim insisted he shoots another shot.

"Hi I'm sorry if I'm disturbing you, please I'm sorry for the other day at the train station but I guess I was out of ideas and I really wanted to see you again" Jim politely said.

The lady pretended not to have heard anything he said. But after a while she turned to Jim and said "I'm not interested in whatever you want with me, period!"

There was silence. They went back to shopping. The lady got to the counter to pay,Jim came up and paid for her but she cared less as she headed to her car and drove out quickly while Jim overlooked the attitude.
