Devastated, he had no idea about what to do anymore as his heartbeat raised drastically leaving him sick at the particular moment. He wanted to meet with her that he has even forgotten to get her card and phone number on it and looking at the place where he was standing, there was nothing to be done for him as he just had to come back some other time to be able to meet you with her. Thanking the last at the reception, he walked out of there with a heavy heart not knowing what to do next as the day was almost getting to an end. Thinking of his sick grandmother, he was aware that he needed to hurry back home to meet with her if not it was not going to be easy on him if he misses out on the time for her drugs. Gael held his head in pain and confusion not even knowing what to do about the situation but there was only one thing that was left to do and that was to storm at her office and grab the bull by the horn. With that idea, he walked out of there with the hopes that the next day was going to be his lucky day. Yvonne and Tasha were still on the same spot and just when she thought that she was free from her many questions, her thoughts narrowly misses Gael and the smile that was on her lips was very glaring. While she was just about to finish thinking, Tasha landed a hot question on her face that made her question her sanity and her emotions. "Will you accept Stanley's proposal now if he asked you to date him or do you already have someone you are seeing and I don't know?", she uttered rolling her eyes all over the boutique. Yvonne with a lowered gaze peeked at her feet as she could have answered that question better if it was been asked some years back, but right then her heart was beginning to feel something unusual for someone else and she could not comprehend if it was love or mere affection. Kyle who had noticed that her friend had ceased conversing went closer to her with a smile and said, "You don't need to answer this now, you can take all the time that you want and you know that as your friend I will always support you", she said raising her brows to tease her friend. Both girls burst out laughing and it was getting late so they took everything that they had chosen to the desk for payment. Tasha was still dying to know whether her friend was going to go for a such well-positioned young man like Stanley, or whether she was going to stick to the feeling that she was having for Gael the new market guy. Yvonne and Tasha were done with their shopping and they left the shopping center for the mall. Yvonne was happy to be spending the day with her friend and this helped her to forget about the incident that had taken place some hours back. She got into her friend's automobile and Tasha was happy as she pushed the top of her car, sending her head outside while singing to the hip-hop music that was playing inside the car. Yvonne had so much fun wherever she was with Tasha as they both were youngsters who believed that life has to be lived to its fullness. The music was so loud that Tasha lost a minute of conversation that almost got into an accident with a car that was coming right in front of them. Tasha developed sweat in her hairline and she parked in a corner on the road, while Yvonne sat down inside the car. "This is not going to spoil our fun today", Yvonne said and both girls screamed out in happiness as Tasha started her car again and they headed to the mall. Tasha was shocked at the scattered version of Yvonne that she was observing that afternoon and not eating it to stop as she hardly ever gets any fun like she was doing, she sat quiet and let her do her thing. When Tasha arrived at the mall, she checked for a parking space and stationed her car while they both came down and walked into the place. It was such a beautiful place and the decorations were so nice. It is a place she always loved to go to as it reminded her of her childhood days when her parents always took her there. The laughter from the kids playing around and the different races that came there to commune was the greatest gift ever. Turning her head, she could locate their favorite spot and she averted her friend so that they could go there immediately before it got filled with people. They both took the escalator going up to Belles restaurant as their bellies were already rumbling from hunger and exhaustion from walking the whole day in the shopping center. Yvonne glanced through a boutique as they walked past it going to the restaurant and she could not help but notice the beautiful dress that was hung on a model as it was viewable from the store's clean glass doors. " I like that dress Tasha, can we just make a stop in there?", She spoke to her friend thinking that he was still by her not knowing that Tasha was already in the restaurant comfortably seated. Yvonne cracked up as she had forgotten how much her friend cherished food. "You are here and I was talking alone", Yvonne spoke as she entered the restaurant too and took a seat by her friend. " I am sorry friend, but I had to hurry because my tummy can not take it for another minute without food", she said moving her brows up and down accompanied by a childish smile. A waiter had approached them with the restaurant's menu and without looking at the menu for even a second, Tasha already had an idea of what she liked to order. "I want a dessert with a glass of cold orange juice, while you get me grilled chicken breast with garlic sauce and some baked potatoes", she ordered looking at me as though she wanted to order for me too. Yvonne raised a question if she wishes to give her order and smiled at her funny gestures. " No I do not but if you want me to, I might as well just do it for you friend even though you are complicated with your meals", she spoke as her eyes ran through the menu again. Yvonne handing over the menu to the server asked for the same thing that her friend had asked for but with a glass of ginger juice for her instead. The server left and some minutes later, he was back with the dessert and two glasses of chilled juice and he served them and left. Tasha had to keep her mouth busy while waiting for the real deal because, at Belles restaurant, an order could take up to 30 minutes as though they had to go to the market to fetch the ingredients again. Yvonne and Tasha had finished savoring their meal, so they relaxed for a while, styled their bills, and left Gen restaurant. Tasha was already complaining of tiredness so was Yvonne too. "I don't think that I can make another round of strolling around, my feet hurt and I am full, I just want to take a shower and sleep", Tasha said, looking so exhausted as though she had been fighting. Yvonne not delivering any words more was just praying in her heart to reach her car faster so that she could steam it and get home as she was more tired than her friend. They both went out of the mall to the parking lodge and entered Yvonne's car. Yvonne was driving through the busy road and kept wishing that, there should be no traffic as they returned home because it was a workday of the week, and it is at that certain time of the evening that workers returned home. Tasha noticed that the silence in the car was not normal so while she drove, she looked at her friend who was sitting by her to know why the sudden speechlessness in the car and she found her sleeping. When a stroke of laughter, Tasha continued driving as she had to drop Yvonne at home before getting back to her house. The traffic was becoming serious and Tasha decided to take another road so that she could reach faster. The beauty of the evening could be seen as the sun settled at the back of the mountains making way for the heat to go away and for the sweet twilight breeze to set in. Tasha was already at her friend's entrance, so she horns twice for the security agencies to come out. " Her friend, we are already at your house", she let out as she tapped her on the shoulder so as not to brutalize her in her sleep. "What happened to me?", she inquired while rubbing her eyes. Tasha laughing so hard said that she was sleeping all through while she was driving and that she should get home. The security agent was seen opening the gate and when he saw Tasha's car, he rushed to greet her happily. Tasha too liked him as he is a polite and humble young man. She sent her hand into her purse and gave him a few thousand. "Thank you Ms. Tasha", he said in a pleasant mood recognizing her as one of Yvonne's friends and feeling glad that he brought her back in one piece. Tasha told him to take Yvonne inside as she was very exhausted.
