Chapter 17__I am going to marry her
Harriet woke up feeling headache. She sat up on bed. She held her fore- head and look around. Strange, this is not how her room look like.
This room is definitely not hers.
She got down from the bed and walk out of the room.
She walked down the stairs.
What the hell is she doing here in a strange house.
She stopped when she saw a man in the living room drinking coffee casually.
"You are awake?", The man asked.
" Yes. Who are you?", she asked.
"You didn't recollect the incidences last night?"
"I only remembered going to the rest room"
"You should recognize your benefactor you know. I brought a complete stranger home and she threw up on me."
Harriet look at what she was wearing.
She was wearing a shirt. Her cloth is gone. Only her panties..... Then it hits her she is wearing his shirt with only her panties underneath.
"Who changed my cloth? How dare you?", She asked.
" You are stinking so I have my house keeper to change your dress to help you have a good night rest. How dare me?", the stranger scoffed.
Harriet swallowed.
How can she drink so much last night.
She even slept at a stranger's.
Harriet took a closer look at the man.
' so manly'
Gosh! Mr Samaritan is so handsome.
"You even broke my rule, you're the first woman to sleep in my house. I should have just check you into an hotel but I don't want to since you were not in your right senses and..."
"Do you have a girl friend?", Harriet asked him.
" No"
Harriet asked again.
"Married?"
"Single", the man replied again.
" Engaged?"
"I'm a bachelor"
"Gay?"
"I'm a straight guy"
"Then why are you still single. A guy with a face like yours should not be single"
"It is none of your business", Mr stranger snapped.
" Why? I guess this is why women won't stay long with you..."
"Maybe you're right. Can you leave now?", He asked her.
"Where are my clothes?", she asked him.
" I'm sure it is folded neatly in the room you slept."
"Thanks", Harriet told him.
" Gosh! I left my car at the bar yesterday. Can you call me a taxi?", She asked him.
"Go on and get dressed. I will take you back to the bar."
They didn't say a word to each other. The stranger pulled over.
"We are here.", he said.
" Thanks so much.", she said and got off.
"I have a feeling that we will meet again. My name is Harriet." She closed the door, turned and walk away.
The car zoomed off.
Harriet could not stop thinking about Mr manly and thinking about him allow her to forget Dwight and Ray. She had this feeling that she will meet him again.
Harriet decided that if she meets him again, she will never let him go. She is going to stick to him.
Dorris scoffed.
"Damn that director. How dare him air this scene. Did I not beg him to cut it. I even allow him to take my dance Video", she spatted.
They are watching the reality show they just finished shooting.
" Manager Brown, can you not take reality show again?", Toby asked.
"But reality shows will boost your popularity.", Manager Brown said.
" Can't we stick to adverts and commercials", Guy asked. He was embarrassed.The director even aired the scene where he felt pressed and had to dance while waiting for Toby to finish using the toilet.
"Go and check your popularity rate, it's so high now", Their manager explained to them.
" Bro Dylan, can you get my things to my room? I'm off to college", Toby said to his assistant.
"Ok. I will wait for you after classes", Dylan said.
" No need. I'm going on a date with someone", Toby said and walk out.
"Date?Who?", Guy asked after him.
Toby walked away ignoring him.
Vickey was practicing with her band and she heard him.
She found herself curious to know who Toby is dating.
Dorris was busy reading the comments online.
" Awnnn! Toby is so handsome. I want to marry him".
"My God! The guys are hulky. I must say Dorris is lucky to be in the same band with them"
Dorris scoffed.
"How dare Dorris allow them to run errands for them. I will tear her apart"
"Seriously, this is just a reality show. That's the concept. How can you hate someone because of that"
"I wonder o", Dorris muttered.
" Well, Dorris is cute"
Dorris blushed.
"I'm the Rays fan as from today".
" If you want to join Toby's fan club signify"
"Toby First wife".
" Guy first wife. "
"Do you see Guy's dance when he was pressed. He looked so cute"
"Dorris is too ashame to say she cannot cook and she made what? Gosh! I can't believe women who can't cook still exist".
" It's not my fault. I always have my mum to cook for me and when mum is no more available, my dad filled in for her.", Dorris explained talking to herself.
"You shouldn't read online comments", Guy told her.
" I'm so pissed up. That director is so shameless and deceitful."
"I agreed with you", Guy told Dorris.
" Let's go out for lunch", He added.
"Ok. I want rice cake".
" Okay. It's my treat", Guy said.
Ray could not stop laughing as he watched the show. He even asked Jerome to watch with him.
"Isn't she cute?", He asked.
"This isn't cute. She is so spoilt. How can a grown up lady like her not know how to cook. It seems she is not aware that the best way to a man's heart is his stomach. How will a man for for her when she did not even have this important skill. I wonder where this country is going. Women no longer cook but order food. I wouldn't advice someone to marry a woman like her. I'm sure she won't be able to do house chores. So lazy", Jerome blabbers.
" Jerome, She is my girlfriend", Ray stated.
"Pardon?", Jerome asked wide-eyed.
" Is my girl friend cute?", Ray asked.
"Of course she is", Jerome said.
" It doesn't matter if she can't cook or do house chores. She already won my heart over.Even if she doesn't know the way to my stomach, she knows the way to my heart so well that she can walk in it with her eyes closed and her senses shut. That's how much I loved her. I'm going to get married to her_soon", Ray said, his gaze fixed on Dorris picture on his laptop screen.
