"Hi."
The cute guy at the table greeted me I nodded to reciprocate the greeting. I was just smiling in my head that I would have the opportunity to speak with Jilz, the crush of my life. I have lost count of how many times we've kissed and had countless weddings in my dreams. I took the tab on the table and ordered what I wanted.
The guy on my table was just glancing at me and would take off his eyes when our eyes contacted. In my head, I was just laughing because, to be honest, I didn't care.
I was thinking about the money I was spending and of course, to confirm if it was Jilz, the popular CEO of Jilz Fragrance. God knows how I went the extra mile to work in other to get the money for this kind of restaurant.
After a few minutes of ordering what I wanted, the order came in a premium way. It was a machine that brought all the ordering for me. I took it and dropped it on my table.
I would glance at Jilz and then eat till I ate to my satisfaction. After a a few minutes of eating and of course, surviving the look of the guy on my table, I stood up and went to Jilz's Table. I noticed he was just drinking and drinking. I just couldn't help it.
"Hey, Jilz!"
"Hey."
"This is Mildan."
"Sorry, I didn't call for any staff's attention. Maybe it was someone else. You should know me by now, guys."
Jeez!! It was him. Oh my gosh! I didn't know how to react but damn! I almost lost composure. He hadn't raised his head yet but his voice sounded like the taste of vanilla ice cream. I just couldn't help it. I touched him as my hasttility overwhelmed me.
"Sorry?"
He finally raised his head. To be honest, the camera doesn't do justice to his almighty face. Damn! I smiled as our eyes contacted. I was shaking but trying to exhume calmness.
"I am Mildan, Your favorite crush."
"So_sorry?"
"Yes. What you heard."
"I don't know you. I haven't seen you before. First of all, Please, can you have a seat?"
Oh my gosh! He's so romantic. His face is heavenly. Talk more of how neatly curled his weave was arranged on his head. His little earring on the right side of his ear brought the bad guy in him. It was just like, I should lick his face. Arrg! The dude is freaking hot!
I was just imagining different things in my head. His lips curve! Damn! I think I'm ready to do anything to have him.
"Thank you, Mr. Handsome."
He didn't react as I said that.
"You are welcome."
He replied with no atom of pleasantries. I felt some kind of way but the love I have and the fact that I had the privilege to see him, waved off his weird reactions to my actions.
"My name is Mildan Jamon. I am 23 years old and yes, I'm your crush."
He was just looking at me. I just didn't know if he was feeling my vibes already or if I was just like an unwanted piece of thing stalking his happiness.
"I am talking...to you."
I said that with a cool tone as if trying to get his attention to my full self.
"I am Jilz."
He spoke this time not his regular weird look that could leave innocent minds dying off clarity. There is something about his smile and the not-so-obvious dimple that arises whenever he talks. It complimented his face on a hundred. Jeez!!
"Yes, I know you. The famous Jilz Fragrance."
"Really? I see. Is that the only thing you know about him?!"
He stood up and walked out of the hub. Thank God he didn't project his voice, I would have allowed the ground to swallow my full body in his shed.
I was so confused about how he expected me to know more about him than that. I sat down for a few minutes with words to comprehend what just happened. I know I tried to get a picture of us together with my phone but he refused. Could that be the reason for that weird act of his?
His drinks, his food, and all was still on his table untouched, only his wine was touched by him. What did I do wrong? Could it be that Jilz doesn't like me at all? Did I offend him? What did I do? He hasn't even gotten to know me at all, just my name and my age.
Different thoughts stroked my mind. It was just as if I was pondering an unknown illusion. I stood up in a shy manner. The way to my initial table was where I stepped my leg where my left shoe's stripe tangled on one of the fancy iron tiny rods attached to the table. I bent down and untangled it and then I saw a piece of paper like a business card. I picked it up and then I checked the content in it. It was for Jilz.
It content that, he would need a house carer e.g., a Chef, a laundry person, a security person, and all. I was just smiling. In my head, It just felt like an opportunity for me to get into the house of Jilz Dumino and also a big way to get to know him better and grow connections. I was just grinning like a child who has got something he had cried his Lungs out for. I couldn't even think twice. I took it and walked back to my table. When I got to my table, the guy I met there was still there. He was pressing his phone. Immediately he saw me, he sat down well if something happened and smiled at me which I reciprocated.
"Hey, Pretty."
"Hey."
"Are you okay? "
"Sorry? "
I asked with a little serious tone as I could not phantom the idea of his about being okay.
"I'm sorry, I mean..."
He stopped while pointing at the table I left.
", It's nothing, don't bother."
"He's.. "
"Mr, I genuinely don't want to walk out of you."
"But, can I have your number please?"
"For? "
"To know more about you and probably could be friends from there."
"I'm sorry, I don't keep friends."
I said while pressing my phone. I just didn't care about his cute lips and well-rounded face with nice fair skin, I was just pressing my phone.
"Pretty girl, you don't even care to look at me. Okay, please.."
"Hmm.. "
"Please."
He pleaded this time with a nice voice. It sounded like a tickle. I couldn't hold the pretense of anyone, I smiled back at him which he gladly loved.
He gave me his phone to dial my number in it which I did.
"I would try it now."
"You don't even trust me. They said, what would be good at the end, it's from the start would ignite it prophesy."
"I know right? But, I can't afford to lose a pretty girl like you."
He said while he dialed the number.
"Is this your number that ends with 5?"
I said as his number rang on my phone.
"Yes."
"Okay."
"Please, one thing more."
"What?"
I asked calmly.
"I want to handle your bills tonight. Please, don't say no."
Immediately he said that my heart limped for joy. I already thinking about how to work extra hard to gather myself at Jilz's place since his address is attached to the private business card I saw. It was written privately on it.
"Hmm.. "
"Please."
"Oh! Okay, fine. But, I've paid."
"I can send it back to you."
"Why?"
I asked.
"Nothing or maybe a compliment for being a pretty damsel and how I couldn't come out of your ocean eyes. Felt drowned it. "
"Oh, stop."
"I'm serious, Pretty."
"Okay."
"I'm Emon. And you?"
"I'm Mildam."
"Nice Meeting you."
I didn't answer him. He stretched his phone to me and then I typed the account number there. A few seconds later money was in my account. I could not say anything.
"Thank you, sir."
I didn't know when I added sir. I just had to compose myself because I knew how I would work my a*s out before getting that amount of money.
He stood up and asked if he could drop me down at my house which politely declined. He insisted but I declined still and then he asked for a hug which I didn't feel comfortable with at the end, I gave him a handshake which he kissed.
"I'm sorry."
He said I looked at him with a weird look and then he left.
That was how I got the address of Jilz Dumino.
Immediately I fished cooking, I dished mine and packed others in the fridge for Mr. Jilz to eat when he got back from where he went to, maybe work. I washed the plates and cleaned the kitchen thoroughly.
I left the kitchen and went back to the sitting room. The calmness of the sitting stroke and the beautiful decor of the house make the total experience a perfect stay. I continued eating until I finished the porridge and I used a chilled glass of wine to step it down.
A few minutes after eating, washing the plate I used to eat, I heard the sound of a car from the compound. I quickly stood jerkingly towards the window to check if it was the compound I was in. When I opened the curtain from beneath halfway, I saw that it was Mr. Jilz, I quickly off the TV and arranged all its stuff inside my bag and went to hide at the back of the entrance door so that he wouldn't see me when he got in. The entrance door has a curtain which I would hide inside it to cover myself till he goes out of the living room then I would go out immediately.
