CHAPTER 1
Hey! Charlotte screamed when water was splashed on her, Eric came down and apologized, 'I am so sorry, I was trying harder to avoid that, Eric explained, Oh no! It's fine Charlotte said smiling and admiring the handsome man standing before her, I can fix the dress, Eric said smiling back at Charlotte, don't worry about that, I'm just going to the saloon, Charlotte blurted out, are you going to the saloon with a messed up dress? Eric inquired looking into her eyes, I'm okay, I'm fine Charlotte said still admiring Eric, Uhmm!! I'm heading to the bank to carry out some transactions but I'll drop you off at the saloon, Eric explained, No, don't bother, it's not far from here Charlotte interrupted, I insisted, that's the least I can do, Eric said in a slight authoritative manner, Uhm! Okay, Charlotte accepted.
Charlotte walked straight to the car and Eric opened the door for her and she entered, I'm sorry once again, let me be your chauffeur for the day, I'm kinda curious, Eric said smiling at Charlotte, why? Charlotte asked, what were you going to do with the pebble you picked? Throw it on my car? Eric asked, I was angry Charlotte replied, but you know it's more expensive to fix a car than to fix a dress? Eric asked you have a great sense of humor Charlotte complimented, maybe I should start up a comedy career Eric asked and laughed. I'm Eric, what about you? Eric asked I'm Charlotte, she replied, I know the circumstances with which we met today weren't pleasant but I will say it's nice to meet you Eric said, it's nice to meet you too, Charlotte replied. Eric played music in his car and Charlotte screamed in excitement, this is my favorite music she said happily. It's my favorite too Eric replied in excitement, and they sang together till they reached Charlotte's destination, you sing so well Charlotte complimented, and you too Eric said smiling, thanks for the ride she appreciated, it anyway I should be the one thanking you for saving me the cost of buying a new dress Eric said and Charlotte laughed and entered the saloon, Eric drove down to the bank and carried out his transactions and went back home and met his mom, Mary. Hey mom! How are you? Eric greeted, I'm fine and you son? How did your transaction go? She asked, it was quite delayed, Eric said, you should have sent your assistant, Mary asked, it's fine, I'm happy I went myself Eric said bowing his head and smiling, something pleasant must have happened to you, your face is covered with smiles, she said still observing him, Uhmm! Really? I met someone so beautiful and phenomenal, she's too gorgeous mum, Eric described, you just met someone today for the first time and you're radiating like this, so when are you inviting her to come over? She asked smiling, Eric's smiles seized, what's the problem his mum asked, mum I forgot to take her contact Eric complained, maybe it's not meant to be yours Mary said, no mum, Eric replied and ran out to his car to search for charlotte, be careful, don't go speeding
like a mad man because of a stranger you just met, she warned, Charlotte finished making her hair and left the saloon, and Eric drove in and for her and didn't find her, Eric drove round the town looking for Charlotte but he couldn't find her so he came back home and met his mum still sitting on the couch, Eric, did you find her, Mary asked in a neutral tone, No mum, Eric replied in a weak tone, and entered his room, still worried of when next he would meet Charlotte.
Charlotte got home and met her friend, Chloe, sitting on the couch operating her device, Wow! Your hair is beautiful, girl look at your hair, you look extremely gorgeous she complimented, thanks baby Charlotte, but why is your face not bright? you look so disappointed, what happened my dear friend? Chloe asked, Oh dear, I met a very handsome man, he's too hot, too playful, he's everything a woman wants, we liked the same song and we sang together, but he just dropped me off and drove out without asking for my contact, Charlotte said with her face up and her eyes closed, then why didn't you ask for his contact? She asked. I can't stoop so low to ask a man for his contact Charlotte said smacking her lips, do you think asking a guy for his contact is taboo?? Chloe asked again, can you imagine how embarrassing it would look if he declined, oh no dear I can't do that, now I can only have his voice and looks in my mind, Charlotte said sobbingly, it's not a taboo dear friend, next time you see a man you feel for, ensure you ask for his contact, Chloe advised, I can't do that dear, I have home training Charlotte said humorously and entered her room.
Eric lay on his bed searching for Charlotte on all the social media platforms but didn't find anyone and he got more disappointed and fell asleep. Eric woke up early in the morning still thinking of Charlotte, he searched again on i********: but couldn't find her so he dropped his phone and entered the restroom, his sister, Sophia walked in picked up his phone and scrolled through it, Why are you scrolling through my phone, Eric walked in suddenly and asked leaving his sister startled, Who's Charlotte? and why are you searching for her on i********:? she asked, it's none of your business, Eric replied, I want to know the girl that's strictly your fantasy right now, She said, I have warned you severally to stop checking my phone! What's wrong with you? This is the tenth time I've changed my password, be very careful, Eric warned, Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed, you're too harsh and rude, please loosen up Sophia said, Eric ignored her and kept searching for her on other social media platforms.
