A Date
"I'm not really interested..
In what you're telling me.
Because i can forge my own path
And i dont need you to hold my hand..
While i find my place
In this vast, open world
I'm not really interested
In what you're telling me..
Because i am my own person
Strong and determined
Free-spirited and independent
I have what i need to preserve
I'm not really interested
In what you're telling me
Because my walk is my own
Tall i stand
And i will keep on moving
On This never ending journey"

“My Name Is Tasha Lawson...Twenty seven, Introvert, And A Successful Accountant.❀
Also, Meet My Younger Sister, brittany Lawson, Twenty Seven, Extrovert And A Big Time Editor To A Successful Magazine Company.
..So saucy If That Was The Best Description I Could Give Her.
It’s A Wonder How Her Career Took Her This Far.
When We Were Younger, I Was Either At School Or At Home Studying, More Like A Book Worm If That Was What You Wanted To Say *Laughing*. My Parents Told Me That Boys Were A No No For Me, So.... I Stayed Away From Them.
Brittany On He Other Hand Was Either Making Friends, Visiting Friends Or Wearing Make Up.. Loved Loved Attention And She Made Sure She Got All Of It ,From My Parents , To The Neighbours Down To The Boys In School. This Made Her Feel That She Was Better Than Every Other Girl Including Me.
Well...I Didn’t Really Care..
Until Tayo Came To The House To Drop Some Books I Had Left From School. Tayo was The Only Guy In School I Talked To, He Was Really Cool And So Intelligent Or Should I Say Bright So We Studied Together. Everyone In School Including brittany Knew I Liked Tayo .
He Came Over To My House One Time. That Day , I Had Gone Out With My Parents And Brittany Was The Only One At Home So She Opened The Door For Tayo ...
Hmm....
What Happened That Day ?
..Only Brittany And Tayo Can Explain.
The both of them one became an item.. holding hands everywhere they went. Brittany didn’t care if I was hurt.
No she didn’t..
She enjoyed the attention she was getting from Tayo, EVERY BIT OF IT.
I cried and cried every night until one night dried my tears and I vowed NEVER to let Brittany get at me ever again.
..EVER”.❀

Years had gone by. And Tasha was seen jogging along the estate neighbourhood in the early hours of the morning and a man [Well I wont say stranger] was seen running behind her , trying to get her attention while she minded her business. He finally caught up to her and waited in front of her with his palm raised in front of her to allow her wait even if it was just for him to catch his breath.
“ Hi” he began , with his hands on his waist puffing hard.
“Hello” she replied , taking a sip from the water bottle she carried along while taking a rest just to listen to what the young man had to say.
“its uhm....its fancy meeting you out here Jogging this morning. So tell me..what are the odds”.
“Sigh, you know I jog every morning so.....i guess the odds are the odds are a hundred percent” she replied with a frown crossing her face.
“okay okay its fine alright..you got me there” he paused with his hands on his knees......”you see what I had to go through to get your attention?”
She looked away while still panting..desperately looking forward to continue from where she had left off.
“well, you have my attention now... so what , what do you want”
“A date”
“ you already asked me that before!”
“yeah but you said no “
“and you know I did, and the answer is still no...jeez” she looked away frowning and continued with her jogging with James [the Man] still following her while continued on the rear end of the street.
And that was it.❀
Couple of hours later Rebecca walks outside and finds sitting on a wooden chair on the lawn going through her phone with a glass of cucumber water on her hand.
Running towards where was sitting she tapped her head from behind and called her name while casting an eyeing look at her.
“where have you been, I’ve been looking all over for you”
“ow, my head” touched her head in response because of how hard Rebecca had hit her....playfully.
“your head” Rebecca repeated what had said “ so you didn’t hear your name when I was calling you abi?, take joor [ handling her her phone] you mom wants to talk to you.”
She collected her phone only to see her moms phone number displayed on the screen.
Yup
Thats her mother
“But why call her now” she wondered
“I’ll be inside if you need me....big head” Rebecca walks away with a bag of potato chips she was consuming with her oversized shirt and bum short.
Picking up the call she breathe softly and began the conversation calmly..
#”hi mom”
“are you avoiding me” mrs Lawson asked.
“Good afternoon mom” she smiled“you didn’t answer my question sweetie”
“[chuckles ] why would I do that mummy”
“But its been a few days since we spoke”
“But we just spoke on Monday mummy”
“and you think that’s enough reason for you not to speak to your own mother?”
“uhmmm, im not going to even answer that....how are you and dad doing?” she smiled , trying so hard not to laugh over the phone.
“well we are both looking forward to the weekend retreat , you do remember this weekend don’t you?”
“Nah mom, how can I forget, I already asked for the promotion at work today though” she continued taking a gulp of the cucumber water in a glass.
“Oh !..that’s wonderful my angel, especially with Brittany bringing her fiancé over to.....”
