Meeting a Friend

Percy Jackson.

I shook my head in disbelief as I stare at the picture of Christian the Canadian Model that Diana showed me, it was him, it was Christian, he stopped coming to visit with his dad after my father died, only his father comes to visit once in a while after then.

"What?, do you know him?" She asked as she collected her phone from me.

"Yes, it's Christian. I never paid attention to this model, I didn't even get to know he's the one, my childhood friend, he stopped coming to visit with his dad after my dad died" I said, all the memories rushing in again.

"Oh, yeah!, let's get into the reunion plus date" I frowned hitting her shoulder lightly.

"What?" She asked as she ate her cupcakes.

"It's not a date, I guess he just found out that the famous American actress Percy Jackson is his childhood friend and he wants to see me, as simple as that" I said as I lay back on the bed.

"Whatever you say, just so you know, I'm a bigger friend, the boss of all the childhood friend you'll ever have, so get that into your brain" she folded her arms and squeezed her face in a funny way, I laughed heartedly

"I can see jealousy coming, don't worry you're the boss of all the childhood friend" I said and we both laugh.

"I arranged a date for both of you already" Diana said looking at me

"When?" I asked

"Tomorrow" I shrugged

"Why does it have to be so soon, I haven't prepared myself at all" a part of me is so nervous right now.

"It's not like you have anything you're doing, and what are you preparing yourself for?" She paused

"Absolutely nothing, oh, are you scared?" she hit my arm playfully and laughed

"No, go away" I said, she was starting to annoy me.

"Everything is going to be fine okay, I'm happy to hear that he's your childhood friend, it'll make things go smoother, I just like it that it's you, I and the bodyguards, no maids, Zeus only comes when you need him to film you for or channel and other things and your handsome driver also come when you ask him to, it's so peaceful" we both smiled.

"What country is he from?" She asked

"Who?"

"Your driver"

"He's a Nigerian" I said and drank water

"Oh, I taught he was black American, he definitely doesn't have a Nigerian accent"

"Yeah, I don't know"

"Maybe he's an half cast then" she said, why is she so interested in this guys life?

"I don't think so, he didn't mention that to me, stop asking me questions, ask him when you see him" I said sick and tired of her questions.

"Get out, I want to sleep"

"We can just share the bed"

She grinned and I let out a chuckle.

*. *. *.

After I finished dressing up, I walked down the stairs and Diana's eyes met mine.

"Wow, you look so pretty, I guess you've been wearing makeup more often than usual after you left the hospital" I rolled my eyes, though she was right.

"The gown looks perfect on you, I bet he'll drool when he sees you"

"Shut up Diana" I rolled my eyes and went out of the house.

I stepped out and met Mark leaning against the car, he was so focused on his phone.

"Hmm" I cleared my phone which made him notice that I was standing behind him, he froze for seconds

"Is there anything wrong?" I asked a bit confused.

"No, nothing, I'm sorry, get in the car, he looked back once more before Derick opened the car for me.

After the long drive, we finally got to the address Christian was, it was very a big restaurant, I came out of the car and Derick ushered me in, I looked around to catch a glimpse of him, there he was, no one needed to tell me that was him before I knew, his Hazel eyes never changed and that his skin color that was like that of an unripe peach, his thoroughly black long hair also never changed. He finally saw me and smiled at me, I smiled back and moved towards him as he stood up and gave me a hug, before pulling the chair out for me and I sat.

"It's so good to see you again Percy" he didn't stop smiling

"It's really good to see you again too Christian, why didn't you come to visit after my fathers death?" I asked

"I'm sorry, I really wish I could after I heard, but when my dad took me back to Canada to stay with my mum, she took me to a boarding school since she never really had time for me" he said with a mix of pain on his face.

"Oh, how are they?, mum and dad" I said as I took the menu the pretty petite waitress gave to me

"They are fine, mum is still running her industry and dad is still running his industry too" he said as he dropped the menu

"I'll have the Caviar Nachos, what about you?" he looked at me

"Uhm, the... lobster Trap Truffle Mac N Cheese" I said and smiled at the waitress

"What about your mum, is she okay?" He asked

"Yes she is, she's still sticking to her mall" I said before I noticed Mark, the incredible black man walked towards us, what was he doing?, he was supposed to stay outside, he shot a glance at us and sat down at the sit opposite ours, I guess he wanted to buy something so I didn't disturb him, the waitress arrived with the food and wine that Christian had ordered before going to attend to Mark, I began to eat my food and I watched Mark with the corner of my eyes who was also eating his food. Suddenly I felt a hand on my cheeks and I raised my head up.

"You still look as beautiful as ever Percy" Christian said and we heard Mark clearing his throat, I looked at him and a look of disgust was written all over his face, it's going to be a long day.
