THE GIRL IN LOVE

Malloy.....that was his name. Everytime his show came on TV I stayed glued to the screen till when it was over. Then the world was silent and all I could hear was his breath taking voice from the screen. I knew one day I'd eventually get to meet him and probably be his wife if I was not being too delusional. This morning I came out of my house and I see a guy struggling with his car. I had learnt quite a lot about cars when I was working in a garage that later allowed me to open my own car yard. I decided to help out.Suddenly my legs couldn't move and I had nothing to say. My all time shining star was standing right in front of me.

I had to compose myself....I didn't want to embarrass myself.

I offered to help him with his car pretending that I did not know him. Composure....was really necessary.

I walked over to help with his car. He looked at me, and I had to maintain my composure.

'What is wrong with your car?' I asked. He looked at me with a little bit of doubt because he clearly didn't expect a woman to know how to handle a car, especially not his Mercedes GLE. 'Oh hi, my car won't just start,' he said.

I asked him to try to start it as I checked out the engine. In a blink of an eye, his car was fixed! I was so head over heels because I fixed his car. He quickly thanked me and left as he had a show. I sneakily took my car and followed him to his house. The next week, all I did was take a morning run towards his house direction with the hope to see him.

Then, this Friday morning, I saw a poster at his gate saying they were looking to hire a driver. I did know how to drive a car so why not. Honestly, I didn't need or want the job, but I needed to see my crush, so I decided to apply for the job. He knew I was a middle-class lady, so my cover was safe. I applied for the job and I got it.

Growing up, I had five brothers and no sister. My dressing was a bit different. I was a tomboy so that made me fit easier into the job.

I did my job so well. After working for a week he asked me to accompany him to an award event but I had to dress elegantly. I knew I wouldn't disappoint. I found my best suit and wore it. On arriving to his place ready to leave for the event, he met me downstairs. He looked at me and laughed. I didn't understand. 'I told you to dress elegantly and this is the best you could find?', He asked.

I was so embarrassed and confused coz I thought I was elegant. Then a woman walked in with a beautiful shiny Grey dress with black heels. She looked so hot. Malloy smiled. 'Now this is what a lady wears when you ask her to dress elegantly', he said looking at the woman from head to toe.

I felt so embarrassed that I just had to go to the event as a driver and not his plus one anymore.

The night was long since the whole time I was in the car. The event ended at one a.m and Malloy and his girlfriend for the night were so drunk. I had to deal with their drama for the night.

The following morning some men came claiming Malloy's car. Apparently he had rented it and did not pay for most part of the year as the agreement said. The men took the car. Since I owned a yard I decided to help him but I told him the car was from one my clients that I service for.

He took it and thanked me so much. I was happy because now I knew I stand a chance with him since I did him that favor. His girlfriend kept coming and it broke my heart.

One Monday morning his friend James visited. He noticed me but I was so uninterested since it's Malloy I wanted.

James tried to get my number but I declined.

I continued trying to get Malloy to notice me but it wasn't working. Then Malloy had a debt and he needed to pay it. Once again as the savior of the day decided to help him. I told him I'd get a loan from one of my clients but in reality the money was mine. I just didn't want him to love me because I had money. I wanted home to love me for me. He was so happy that I helped him and promised to pay. Then it became a habit of him asking me for huge loans all the time. He was just a celebrity living a fake life. After working for him for six months I realized maybe he'd never like me. His friend James was still on my case. I didn't really put much thought to it. I decided to get my car back. He was unable to pay money back but that wasn't a big deal. His friend James asked me out and decided to go since he was actually the only man who wasn't intimidated by my dressing. I had a good body that was hidden in baggy clothes. I decided to dress in a feminine way for my date night.

James saw me and he was tongue tied. I was so proud to be with him because he didn't like me for how I dressed or how I looked. He chose me for who I was. Malloy ended up being arrested because he had so many debts. I realized sometimes we walk into places so that we actually get to where we want. That doesn't necessarily have to be our destination. It can act as bridge to where we are destined to be. James was everything I wanted in a man and more.

Happy ending.
