Chapter 25
• • Sheila’s POV • • •
“Sheila, please be fast you know we got a lot to do!.” Natasha yells. She is strutting by me in the locker
room. I'm taking my service gown off.
She is right I'm being sluggish
“Okay, okay...” I wearily answer.
“Is anything worrying you?. You sound unusual!.” she lifts her brows in awe.
“Nothing, I'm fine!.” I smile.
Yeah, she is right I'm not in my mood like today I was hoping to catch a glimpse of Freddy but in vain.
It's been a week now since we met. The last time we met I was the person who went to his room
without any invitation. Every time I think about that I feel really bad and ashamed of my self. I don't
even think I can stand his presence. Never the less I still feel this urge to catch a glimpse of his cute
face.
If I let this to Natasha she will kill me up.
“Sheila hurry up!. We have to go to the supermarket. Dady’s birthday is tomorrow and I haven't got him
a gift get!.” she hurries me out of the locker room.
Guess what?. As soon as we step out of the locker room we fall on her father who is standing and
discuss with Freddy... My heart starts palpitating and I tighten Natasha’s hand without any control. She
turns to me with a weird stunned glance she isn't understanding what’s going over me.
“Relax!.” Before she can offer a word her father interrupts calling and waving in our direction. “You guys
should come here!.” She turns back to her waving father and we both move further to him.
Natasha hugs her father and greets Freddy while being in her father's arms then she paths off him and
she holds me.
While “Good afternoon sirs!.” I simply bend in reverence to them. I'm a worker in their hotel and they
are my Bosses in every aspect. Anyway, I have no problem with that because where I come from
respect and obedience is one of the key-value that we are been thought in a hard way.
“Freddy, this is Natasha, my daughter! and her friend...!.” her father looks at me since he forgot my
name... “Sheila!.” Natasha and I spontaneously answer. This makes Freddy slightly chuckle.
“Nice to meet you, Natasha and Sheila!... I hope I haven't mistaken the names....” he smiles lifting his
brow like a reflex act.
His smile melts my heart and my body palmitates more.
“No, it's right!.” Natasha and I spontaneously retort to his question again.
“Nice!.” he nodes and he suddenly gets serious with his smile slightly fading away. “I think I have to
leave!.” he excuses himself.
“But Mr Freddy we haven't ended our discussion!.” Natasha dad tries to keep the discussion. “Then it
ends now, I have things to do!. It's was nice to meet you young ladies!.” with that he evacuated while
we watch him disappear.
“Arrogant brat!.” Natasha’s dad furiously exclaims and he walks away without even saying goodbye to
his lovely Natasha... Strange!.
“What was that Sheila?. OMG, your crushing on Freddy? girl, that's crazy! hahaha!...” she laughs loud.
This embarrasses me. “Please don't be silly!.” I walk away guilty. She follows me still with a huge smile
on her face. She battle so hard not to laugh aloud but even the heavy smile on her face annoys me.
They always say the truth hurts!.
“Hey, baby girl is normal to have a crush!. I'm your very good and only friend and this crown comes with
some teasing too. Don't be annoyed. I'm simply happy for you!. I'm happy to find out that my best friend
here has a heart... Not only a heart... but a heart that functions well!.” there she goes again, teasing
me.
She called me her best friend for the first time. This gladdens my heart. So now it's official we are best
friends, wow!. I'm practically danced in my mind for some. Seconds. Anyway, we will celebrate this
later, I tell myself.
“I realize it but I just feel ashamed of my self like I'm crushing on the wrong guy. And yes! my heart is
intact and it has always been!.” we keep strolling till we reach out of the building.
Then we stop by her car.
“Lol, there is no right crush!.” she consoles me.
“Yea, but what I mean is that there will never be something between us. This reality seriously hurts!.” I
outcry.
“Oh, I understand you. Yet you have to get rid of this feeling. Freddy isn't your type of man!.” she
confidently confides without so much carrying about m feels. Anyway, this is how I take it.
“So what do you mean? that I'm not good enough for him or what?.” I frown.
“Like seriously Sheila? you wanna do this right now?.“ she frowns. She seriously frowns that I start
feeling guilty for thinking that she could even think such a thing. “I'm sorry!. Don't mind me!.” I try to
calm her but she flinches away from my touch and she moves few steps away.
“I will always mind you so far as we are friends... Freddy is not your type of man, he isn't my type of
man. Yeah, he isn't the type of any. Why? because he is the type of man that doesn't go in for a serious
relationship that we desire. He’s simply a jerk and playboy! that will use and dump you once he gets
bored and he will fines another sexy girl... Is this what you want for yourself? then it's fine, go ahead
and get hurt!. But I hope this is clear enough for you now?.” she yells widening her stare and rolling her
eyes off me.
“You are right!. OMG, I'm a fool “Nat”. I lean on her car.
“Don't be pathetic! it's normal to feel this way. And... I love this new pet name ‘Nat’.” she gets back
closer to me and she caresses my hairs.
“I didn't like what you insinuate earlier, don't you ever do that again!. I think we a far better than that!.”
she honestly liberates her mind and I so much appreciate that. I think it's better than to keep a grudge.
“I'm sorry!. I feel stupid!”. I seriously feel stupid again...
“It's fine!. Let's go!.” she moved to the other side of the car. We immediately get and she drives off.
We are quietly seated in the car. Then I break through the absolute silence dwelling. “You called me
your best friend!. I think we must definitely celebrate this. What do you think!.”
“Of course” she gaily retorts thou keeping her eyes on the road. I abruptly whirl towards her. “Wha
about a little house party!.” I happily suggest. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“With who?. We don't have any other friends and talk less of boyfriend to keep the fun!. And don't
forget this is about me and you!.” she takes one hand off the steering wheel and she points at me.
“OMG, we are old Mae!.” I cry
“I know what we can do!.” she happily sings this sentence fluttering her head. “Tell me!.” I get curious.
“We go to a night club! simple to get some Seize! with some cute dudes!.” she happily sings.
“OMG! Nat! your voice is terrible. Please stop.” I pretend to be the heart and I place my hand on my
chest like I'm dying but she keeps signing and laughing.
“Will definitely have nightmares tonight!.” and I join her in the laughter.
She on the music in her car.
~ ~ ~ The song playing ~ ~ without me ~~ by Halsey ~ ~ ~
We sing together like a chore. In the beginning, we mash our mouth to the best we can since we don't
know the lyrics, then...
“Tell me how's it feel sittin' up there
Feeling so high but too far away to hold me
You know I'm the one who put you up there
Name in the sky” we best know this part and it's our favourite...
.
.
After a few minutes on the road, we finally reach the shop. She said it's her best shop.
From a distance, one can see the aesthetics of the mart, omg so luxurious, vast and well arrange with
valuable mirrors and glasses... I get lost in the captivating beauty of the shop. So lost that I even forget
to follow Nat in.
She walked further while I'm still strutting at the entrance peeking left and right guess the cost of one
little piece of mirror, talking less of the quality of the aluminium used. Everything shines and is so eye-
catching. For my first time in such a place, I think I'm too calm.
“Sheila!!!...” Nat calls me severally till I finally shudder off my thoughts and I loosely glance at her
confused. The lady she is standing with weirdly stares at me and she seems to know Nat.
“Come in!.” Nat murmurs narrowly waving at me not to call for others’ attention to us.
“Oh! Sorry.” I walking in reading the signboards found at the top of every section... “Gucci, channel,
Hermès, Doir, etc...” these are the only that I can see. It seems like there are many others at the other
side.
Nat is talking to the receptions. “We will first go round!.”
She rapid snatches my arm once I get near her. “It's like you want to get lost here!.” she murmurs and
she pulls me along with her. “I'm just amazed!.” I tell her with my fastened smile on. “Noted!.” she nods
at me and she releases me.
“Can I take a picture!.” I ask “Of cause, though I never do!.” she takes out her phone and we take lots
of selfies. The. She snaps me some full pictures.
“I would have dressed better than this if I knew we were coming to such a place!. I'm mad at you Nat.
Why didn't you tell me?.” I scowl.
“Drama Queen!.” she laughs and moves ahead.
We walk around and we finally found a gift for her dad!.
