Unexpected love

Encounter with the bread Hawker

It was 6 am in the morning, the alarm clock rang so loud, Irritating Ethan that he hit it severally to stop it from making such an irritating sound, he switched off the alarm and rubbed the back of his hand on his eyes, as he stood up to head to the bathroom, he took his shower and came out with a white towel tied around his waist with water dripping from his thick black silky hair, suddenly there’s a knock on his door, opening the door it was Matilda, a family friend who found Ethan mesmerizing, she was in love with him but he didn’t budge, Matilda never gave up, she wanted to have him all to her self … As the door opened, Matilda saw a breathtaking view, Ethan’s deep piercing blue eyes ,like the vast ocean on a clear day staring right at her , he had such a perfect body, she thought while she studied his tall confident body, he had a ecommanding presence, he had a well-toned athletic physique as he goes to the gym every weekend, his waist was well-trimmed which complimented his shoulders, he stood staring at Matilda as his hand continuously went through his black silky hair.…Matilda was stunned almost to her mouth dripping, he looked so attractive, Matilda noticing his questioning face snapped back to her normal self …” Good morning, brought you breakfast in bed “ she stammered, Ethan looked at the tray of food with a questioning expression on his face ..” why do you keep bringing me breakfast?” He said with a deep resonant voice, Matilda lost in his eyes, “Because I love you” she said clumsily, Ethan smirked and put on a serious face looking directly at her with his hands on her shoulder …” I DON’T LIKE YOU MATILDA “ he said word by word…,” so stop stressing over me and go get yourself something to do since I can see your a jobless “, he said as he took the food from her hand and went into his room to dress up for work.

Matilda felt bad hearing him speak so rudely to her, but she never thought of giving up, she wanted to have him by all means.

“Some people are just so jobless,” he said irritated as he walked towards the table to drop the food. He got all dressed, his clothing was simple yet stylish, he wore a crisp white button-down that was neatly tucked into his pants, the shirt accentuated his broad shoulders while the pants showcased his trim physique with his black leather shoe that gleamed under the light, making him confident and classy, he had a piece of bread Matilda brought for him, took his bag and left for work, as he walked down the staircase saw his step-mother having breakfast with her family, Ethan always felt bad because they don’t invite him for breakfast but had gotten used to it already, “better not be late for work or you will be fired” he told his brother as he was leaving the door, “ and what do you mean by that?!” Mariam said angrily as she stood up from the table, Ethan stopped and turned towards her, “ just saying mum” he said sarcastically, “he got away with it the last time and if it happens again I’ll have to sack him” he said looking directly at her as he formed a fake smirk on his face, Mariam’s eyes widened, as she was left shocked, “Ethan!, You dare not speak to my son in that manner, you are a cursed child and you don't belong here, go to hell with your mother !“ she yelled, Ethan’s smile dropped, and he clenched his fists, “ say that one more time and I’ll show you your…” his stepbrother interrupted.. “don’t speak to her like that !”, Ethan trying to calm his nerves, he released his clenched fists, “better not be late boy” he said and left, Mariam rolled her eyes at him as he left the building, his driver was already waiting as he entered the car and drove off.

On his way to work, he tried to clear the negative thoughts and calm himself down, as he decided to whine down the window to admire the view and receive some fresh air, the road was so busy, people selling their goods, riding their bikes to work, Ethan was stuck in traffic which gave him a better view of everything, women riding to work in their cars too saw him and tried flirting with him but he ignored them, the fresh air that came into the car as it moved slowly in traffic made him feel good and calmed his nerves, not until he was startled by a bread hawker who put the bread through his window wanting to sell bread for him, “Good morning sir ! please buy my freshly baked bread it’s really nice and still hot “ she yelled walking as fast as possible to catch up with the car …bread crumbs got on his pants, he got so infuriated that he threw the bread out of the lady’s hand and fell on the wet ground, “I don’t want your bread you dirty stinky girl!, do you know who I am! do you know how much these pants cost? ” He shouted pulling everyone’s attention, his driver came out and pushed the girl out of the way and gave Ethan a face towel to use to wipe off the bread crumbs from his pants .. “ you spoilt scumbag, that’s my sweat you just threw on the dirty floor !! What type of person are….” Before she could alter another word Ethan whined up and moved as the traffic subsided.
