ENCHANTED

Chapter Five

It was now Tuesday morning and I could go in a little later today.

Today was one of those days where I worked half a day, my manager thought it was a good initiative as it could help employees schedule important appointments or just to take a breather for half the day before or after coming into work.

So since today I didnt have to be in until 12 for my shift, I was gonna hinge watch some Supernatural and eat junk food.

After I took care of my hygiene, I made some breakfast and brought it to my room where my laptop was.

My room had dark curtains (which I absolutely loved) and they blocked out the incoming sunlight. So, with the mood set in my room, and the food ready. I began my binge a-thon.

Around 10:30, I paused my episode of Supernatural (season 4, episode 8) and went to take a shower.

I connected my phone to my speaker once again and went to YouTube for my playlist.

Jada kingdom ft Stalk Ashley-Wasteman started blasting through my speakers and I was feeling myself a bit too much

Naah nuh time fi waste oh no, punani

too good fi give a wasteman none.

Deh pan another level mi real don yah, ready fi wateva matta fact you time up.

Naah nuh time waste oh no, punani too good fi gi wasteman none.

Try ease up outta me space now, bare fuckery yah chat a me ears now, respect to the man dem weh have dem own, and if you need help save you know who fi shout.

After my mini dance fest in the shower, realized it was 11:10 and needed to get out the house in the next 10 mins or would be late for my shift.

quickly brush my teeth, put on my clothes, grabbed my phone and bag along with my earphones and locked up my place before leaving.

As I stepped out on the road from my gate, I saw Mr Harold backing out his driveway.

Please please, let him offer me a ride, I prayed to God, and it looked like my prayer was answered because he reversed and asked me if I wanted a ride.

I happily nodded, grateful for it because now I wouldn't have to deal with taxis this morning.

We reached where I worked, and I thanked Mr Harold before heading inside. I passed Mr Johnson on the way inside and gave a small nod to which he returned and turned away quickly. Poor guy. I put my stuff in my locker and went to see if any customers needed my assistance.

As I was walking through the isle, I saw a young girl, not much younger than me in the lingerie section looking frustrated. I made my way over there to assist.

"Hi, my name is Natalie. Can I help you?"

"Uh, yea sure. You see, this is first time buying lingerie and Im not sure what to get." She replied scratching her head nervously,

"Alright, no problem. First, we gotta get

you all sized up and then we just find

something you're comfortable wearing

that also showcases your assets."

I told her while giving her a comforting

smile to make things less awkward.

I measured her up and we began looking for lingerie that would fit her and luckily, we found two.

She thanked me and went to the cashier to pay for her items. Aw, to be young and in love.

I continued walking around the store helping customers until I made my way to the cash register around 4 to take over.

While sitting at the register, my peripheral vision caught a familiar face. Devon, my ex.

Devon wasn't a bad guy at all, he was great. We dated for two years (I was 16 and he was 18 at time) and I stayed a virgin, surprisingly.

In the last year of our relationship, I started to fall out of love with him and when I expressed this to him, he understood.

We just felt like we weren't right for each other anymore, it happens. He was brown skinned, 5 ft 11 inches, nice smile, had a little fade on both sides of his head and was slim built.

"Nat, hey, Whats up? Its been what? Two years? You look good." He came over and started talking while rubbing his chin and smiling a little.

"Yea, thanks Devon. How have you been?" replied giving him a small smile.

He was my first love if were being honest and seeing him right now for some reason resurfaced old feelings that I swore had lost.

"I have been good. Still going to the University and Im almost done with getting my degree in Computing."

Oh yea, he started uni at 19 and his programme is a 3-year programme so yep, he's almost done.

He always wanted to be a Software Engineer and was proud of him.

We talked some more, and he asked me if he could take me to the movies after work and of course agreed. We were just friends now, well maybe acquaintances at this point.

My shift ended at 6 and Devon came to accompany me so we could walk to the theater.

We caught up with each others life on the way. When we got there, we chose the movie Mission Impossible 5 and waited for the 7:30 showing.

When it was time, we got our and headed into the theatre.

The movie ended about 10:30 and

snacks and headed into the theatre.

The movie ended about 10:30 and Devon began walking back up where I worked because thats where he parked.

Devon finally reached and parked in front of my place.

Hey Devon, that was quite a good time you know." I said while holding the door of a car.

"Yea, should probably do it again. How about we exchange numbers. he asked while scratching his chin (he does that when he's nervous).

"Sure."

We exchanged numbers and I gave him a hug inhaling well trying to get a whiff of his cologne but nothing.

Hm, his cologne is normally strong and would do things to me. Strange.

waved him bye and watched him drive off while went into my was exhausted all wanted was sleep. Luckily, had no work tomorrow I could sleep took shower, got cup cream, went Supernatural.
