ATTRACTION

I really know it was a long day at work but I don’t want to make it feel like I was stressed I can’t imagine myself saying it was a long day at work I’ve always been the hardworking lady I always dreamt of I am the woman I’ve always wanted to be I have everything I always wanted i will always say this in my head anytime I feel stressed In other words I don’t feel stressed My name is Nancy Nelson, I am thirty years old Yeah the successful single young lady I most times hear my workers gossiping my single life But I don’t blame them I mean I have everything and they think I need a man to complete my life? I see women on social media getting married, some getting engaged and some others flaunting their relationship lives on social media Damnnn it sucks so much Why do women feel like they need a man in their lives not to talk of tying knots with them I am a career woman I don’t have an extra time for either relationship or fun My career is everything to me During weekends I work at home When I get bored I walk around my mansion Admiring everything I have This is the only time I smile and one other I feel fulfilled but at the same time I still want more so I always work. “It’s a Monday morning, another day to achieve more goals... I interrupted my alarm as I turned it off and got off the bed Went straight to the bathroom, got a toothpaste on my toothbrush and brushed my teeth Fifteen minutes later I was done bathing and I walked to my wardrobe to pick a dress for the day I picked a black dress which length is just some inches above my knees with a golden button which runs from the v-neck to the end of the gown I gave it a keen stare and finally got it on and then stared at my standing mirror and admired myself a bit, I felt I looked great, then I went to the table glass to put on my makeup, after some few minutes I was done and I looked so gorgeous I thought to myself I went to my shoe rack and picked a black high heels and then a gold and black touched hand bag, I stood at the front of the boldly standing mirror and said to myself “ain’t bad when it comes to looking stunning at all” smiled and picked my phone and left After thirty minutes or less i got to my office and my secretary handed me a cup of coffee and opened a file where all my schedules for the day are arranged “Ma, you have a meeting with Mr Williams from the BACO PRINTING COMPANY And..... “You can keep the file I’ll read it later” I interrupted “Ma”? “You heard me” I almost shouted I would have shouted but I know how weird it is for me to go through that myself but I just wanted to be left alone at that moment I feel weird all of a sudden I feel nervous Something is wrong but I can’t tell “But I can’t let it ruin today’s work I’m determined and no ill feelings can bring my zeals down” I told myself I went through the files and saw my schedules I have up to eight meetings Soon I heard a knock and my secretary came in to give the news that the first meeting has been shifted to tomorrow “Ma, the first meeting has been shifted to Tuesday ma due to... “And which meeting is that”? “Ma”? “You’re not deaf, are you”? I asked trying to defend the little changes I’ve developed within this thirty minutes I know she’s surprised by the whole thing I don’t like to repeat a topic Once I’m aware of anything I always don’t want it repeated because I feel I’m too smart to be reminded of anything “Ermm no ma,it’s just you asked me to drop your schedule files which I saw you reading earlier before I left your office and I.... “Fine read it”! I interrupted and dropped the file close to where she’s standing “The cancelled meeting and the next only please, I’ll go through the rest again later” I said concentrating on my system “Okay ma, the meeting canceled is with Mr Williams from BACO PRINTING COMPANY, and the next on the list is the interview with the new applicant for the post of..... “Is the applicant here”? I cut in again “Yes ma” Doris replied sharply “A man or a woman”? I asked “It’s a man ma”Doris answered “Let him in” Okay ma Shortly after Doris left,there was a knock at the door which someone(the applicant) gently opened, I didn’t look up for almost five minutes I concentrated on my system and finally looked up That was the most awkward moment, I totally lost my senses, I can feel the butterflies rising in my tummy, how can a man be this charming, there were voices in my head “Nancy he’s not a human, Nancy this is not real,nancyyyyyyy! I heard a voice shouted in my head and I got back to my senses immediately “Ma, are you okay?,is everything okay ma,do you need water”? ”damn! His voice,I can feel more butterflies in my tummy “Is everything alright”? I heard his voice while lost and I came back to my senses again “Yes,yeah it’s..everything is..every..yeah I’m fine”I stuttered “You sure you don’t need some water”? He asked “Ohh yeah..um yes I think I do”I said trying to find words Shortly he came back with a glass of water and handed it to me I sipped from it and kept the glass cup on the table “So”? “My name is Henry Alex, the new applicant for the post of..” “Office assistant”I interrupted “Yes ma” I stretched my hand and he handed over his document to me I went through it and guess what? He’s not married I felt a bit relieved “You got the job” “Ma”? “You can start work” I can see the excitement in his face and I wasn’t surprised of course it’s worth it “I honestly don’t know what to say...I don’t know how to...I..thank so much ma...I’m really grateful ma..I can start now ma”he said almost at once I reached out for the telephone and called my secretary “Show him to his office” I said when she entered I can see the surprise on Doris face and I expected it I’ve always been hard to impress I don’t know how Williams did this but he should be really grateful to his God for giving him such looks which made the whole thing very easy for him “Nan! Nan!!” “Oh my God this girl never calls me with ease” I said and dragged my laptop which I was working on and went downstairs “You actually know the way to my room and yet you keep screaming my name every time you come around” I said to Quinn “As the elder sis I am to you am I supposed to come meet you upstairs? Show some respect boo” Quinn said with a smirk on her face “Big sis indeed” “What’s up? What’re you doin...I really shouldn’t ask cos I know already, but girl you need to go upstairs, freshen up and put on something good let’s go somewhere funn” Quinn said and not ready to take a NO for an answer “Quinn I really have.....” “a lot to cover up and if I don’t finish it this night I’m really going to loose big”Quinn completed “Aren’t you tired of saying this same thing anytime I come to take you out? Maybe you should compose another one so I wouldn’t have to expect this same sentence everyday Please I’m waiting,I don’t want to be late cos I can’t miss anything today” Quinn said not ready to hear more excuses Quinn always gets me, there’s nothing on earth I’ll say to make her give up She has always been like this since we were kids, we’ve been best friends since childhood and one thing that amazes people is how a tough and uptight lady like me has a best friend like Quinn Quinn is the opposite version of me She’s lively and friendly but not calm She has always been there for me For so many times I got in trouble with guys... she never stopped saving me She’s actually the only one allowed to see my smiling face... “Madam please be fast” Quinn said “Finee!! But I’m not going to spend more than one hour outside my house” i said trying to look angry “I’ll think about that” she replied not even looking at my face Soon we were at the club venue “Quinn!!” “Nan! What is it” “I can only go in there with you only if you promise not to leave me and follow one of those your boyfriends” “Alright mama I promise” she said already moving inside The sound of the music is a big turn off for me I hate music, it’s another way one can have fun in his or her house and that makes me hate it even more We got to our usual spot which is already reserved and sat down There was a wine on the table and Quinn poured out some into a glass and handed it to me, and also poured some for herself “Girl I might just go get something hotter than this, I can’t just drink wine with no single alcohol in it”Quinn said as she moved to the bar “Fine just get it and come back please” I managed to say hoping she hears me 15 minutes, 30 minutes, 1hour,1hour 30minutes, 2hours... I was really angry cos I know Quinn isn’t in that bar anymore, she left me today again and what annoys me most is the men that comes trying to keep me company or what do they always say when they approach ladies I checked my wristwatch again and it’s 12:00 sharp. I stood up angrily and left Very early the next morning I heard Quinn’s voice “Nan!! Nan!” I heard her but was reluctant cos of the whole thing yesterday “Nan?! Please help me please, I’m in pains” I rushed up from my bed, ran downstairs and met her lying on the floor “Quinn!! what is it, what happened, are you okay” I asked trembling “My body aches, he hit me badly”Quinn said crying and coughing “Who? Where? Why?, who’s he?” “Get me water please” I hurriedly ran to the kitchen and grabbed a glass of water “Here, drink” “Ahh.. my head” “Okay just calm down let me go get a towel and water so I can massage your body” I said and Quinn nodded A minute later I was back with a bowl of water and a hand towel I noticed Quinn wasn’t lying down on the floor anymore but on the couch and she hurriedly dropped her phone as soon as she heard my footsteps and I went back to the kitchen “Arhhhhhh!!!” I screamed and Quinn ran to the kitchen “Nan what is....” “Aren’t you the same person who was lying like an already left soul body...you jack a**” “Erm...yea...I’m...sick...where’s the water you went to get?” Quinn stuttered “Oh you’re still acting up because I haven’t poured the water on your body” I said and went to the fridge to get a cold water “Wait!! Uhm...fine I’m sorry,I know you’d be mad at me over yesterday so I just wanted to skip the angered part of you”Quinn said scratching her neck “You should better have a better excuse for that” I Said trying to look angry “I’m sorry sis...it was just I met.. “Anthony this time and he insisted you should follow him home” I completed “I’m sorry...I promise it won’t happen again” “Of course it won’t happen again cos I’m never going anywhere with you again” “Okay then” “Please I have a lot” I said and walked out of the kitchen “Do you ever touch or eat anything from your kitchen, it’s always stocked up” “You can eat everything if you want” I said already leaving the kitchen We spent the weekend together and went to office on Monday together “Good morning ma, good morning Quinn” I heard some staffs greeting but I just walked into my office and left Quinn greeting and and answering almost the whole company
