UNPREDICTABLE PATH

UNPREDICTABLE PATH

PRINCESS

@@@@@@@@

I met this look-alike guy again in the church I attended. He looked handsome. Finally, I agreed that he was my helper. I was excited and loved to introduce myself soon. But is there a need for that? He would recognize me immediately I presented myself. I was super excited.

After the service, the church admin announced the presence of new people in church. She took them to the other side of the church. I saw my helper going with the new members. As one of the ushers in the church, I was helping the admin to direct them. After all was said and done, she also invited them to join the prayer work done after Sunday service in the evening.

Oh, so romantic! The best time to meet him. After church service, I went back to my lodge, hoping to see my prince charming at the prayer work, even though I was exhausted after the day. I still came, just to see him. But I was disappointed that he didn't show up.

Nonsense! We started walking, then jogging. Men! My leg is broken. Ahh, is it that this boy doesn't do the things of God? I was pained after the prayer walk. I left, disappointed.

The school announced that the year ones would have their matriculation day on Thursday, which is a day before tomorrow. I told my parents on time. I didn't expect them to say that they would show up on that day, since the announcement was not made on time. Shaa, it's my day, and I would love to celebrate it with them, especially my brothers.

My friends and I had decided what to wear, but the dress Angle chose for us to buy was beautiful and lady-like. I didn't like the idea of wearing such clothes, but she convinced me that we should act like ladies on that day. Well, I accepted due to many reasons: one, my parents would be there; two, it's a party.

The day of the matriculation arrived. I dressed up, refused to apply makeup. Angle made herself up; she gave me brown powder to apply and lipstick. I'm beautiful already; I don't need additional beauty.

Now it's time for the dress. It was a pleasure, a painful pleasure. When we were done, we marched to the matric ground. I kept dragging the gown down every time I walked. I promised myself this would be the last time I would wear this kind of cloth.

God! Who sent me work? Trouble upon trouble: the dress, the heels, the matric gown. The moment the Vice Chancellor was done with his speech and left the matric ground, families started dispersing. My mom called me to say that they were already in my school and that I should come out.

Boy boy…at this point I need the rich kid treatment, my parents wanted to give me my dose, i didn't get a car to take to school, since I like poor lifestyle, they decide to treat me like it .. well it won't last but at this point I'm tired.There were a lot of people, no space to pass. While rushing to meet my parents, my matric graduation cap fell off, so I was finding it difficult to point out where it fell so I could pick it up.

"Are you looking for this?" I heard a guy's voice. "Yes, thank you... you!" OMG, you…

He grinned. "Yes, me... Is this what we are looking for?" "Yes, please."

Space of time... I didn't know it was you who had picked it up for me. "You helped me again."

"Well, let's say I'm your prince in times of distress." "You know I didn't get your name last time we met."

"The same... I'm Princess."

"Wow, nice name... I'm Desire."

I have been desiring to see you, I said to myself. "Beautiful name... Where have you been? I didn't get to see you again until now."

"Were you looking for me all this while?"

"No... Ooo... Hahaha... just that I didn't see you again, not until now."..my heart skipped otherwise

"So, you were hoping to see me again?"

He looked at me, those seductive eyes... my legs were already misbehaving.

"How is the wound? Hope it's no longer an issue... You feel better now?" He came close to observe, bent down to touch the spot.

Oh my, his finger pointed at it, and the touch made me jolt back. He stood up.

"The scars are not obvious... it's because my family doctor intervened," I said.

"You look beautiful," he grinned.

"Well, you don't look bad yourself, you look extraordinarily handsome, if there's such a word." Hahaha, we laughed.

"So, where were you rushing to?"

"Oh my goodness, my family! I need to go." "My family are waiting for me."

"Okay, see you another time." I was about to leave before I stopped on my move.

"Wait, your phone number, please... can I have it so you won't miss out on me again?"

"Yeah..."

We exchanged numbers and I left. I met my parents and my brothers, they were guided by their bouncers. My father was on his expensive senator's clothes, my mom on a black glowing gown from Japan, and my brothers on jeans and big black polo shirts, those expensive ones. Their bouncers were on black suits. Must they act rich in public? My dad is always security-conscious. He's a politician.

I approached them with a smile on my face. The smile wasn't for them, actually. I smiled to myself about what just happened a few minutes ago before I got here.

"Mom, Dad, good afternoon... good afternoon, big Bros."

"Oh, come here, my baby... give Mom a hug... you look so beautiful."

"Yes dear, you look beautiful."

"Little sis, do you feel comfortable in that dress?" I wasn't expecting this different look... Malvern said, giving me a side glance.

"Not now," I gave him a look.

"Congratulations, my sweetheart... you look beautiful," Johnson said.

"Yes, that was just what I was doing, complimenting my tomboy sister," Malvern added.

"Seriously, Malvern?"

"Hi guys, you people should stop teasing your sister." Even though I'm surprised like u guys, who motivated you but never mind!!

"Let's go to this big restaurant in this state."

Hmm.. now I know were Malvern and Johnson got their gen

"But Mom, you know I don't eat restaurant food..."

"Today is your day, you order anything else you like, okay... don't look stressed... let's go!" Some people eyes want to drop..i can't stand it…mom said

What did you guys expects …i said to myself

My parents entered their own black Toyota Tacoma, while my brothers and I entered Johnson's Rubicon, his third car. People were looking at us like "wow." We drove off.

Desire:

My parents came for me, and I was so glad they did, but mostly I was so happy for something else. Gush! I didn't plan to see her today and at that moment... Princess... beautiful name... she's really a princess... but too bad I'm not a prince.but hope something she would desire

She's something else. I kept on tracking every day to that shop so I could see her, and this special day she decided to show up. Moment of celebration... not only that I helped her again... she is really a princess.

I grinned as I remembered the way she found it difficult to walk on her heels. I'm so excited to get her number... I will call her immediately after the celebration.

"My general,

Mom!!

you look traffic... You look amazing, and congratulations," Dad joined. "Thank you both for the compliments... I really feel shy right now." We laughed.

"So, let's make your day memorable... It's already memorable," I chuckled. We drove away in our Pathfinder.
