Were you wondering where I was going to sleep?
Oh Come on!
My boss' shop is a self contain on its own. I slept comfortably and woke up at dawn.
By the time my boss comes in the morning, I was done with nine of the system units. Even though, I was happy because I was closer to Dede, I was also in a hurry to go and see my mum because she was going to be worried since I have not given her any tangible reason why I didn't come home.
By 12:00PM, my boss and I have finished everything. When I was about leaving for home, I saw Dede. She smiled and waved at me but I couldn't wave back because it all looked confusing.
I got home around 2PM and I explained to my mum the reason why I couldn't come home. She was so worried like I imagined but after hearing my explanations, I could see that she felt relieved.
Days passed and almost every day, I see Dede and she waves at me. Sometimes I wave back but sometimes I don't.
I also developed a habit of texting Sellina anytime I come home from work. We never had any better thing to talk about though.
As for Deborah, I didn't know her where about. She acted just like a mysterious woman who came into the scene for once and never found again.
I continued loving Dede. I couldn't tell her what I feel for her.
Weeks passed and the routine continued. Months passed and everything became so normal until somewhere in September 2009, something happened that changed the face of the story.
It was around 1:30PM and there was lightout. The shop was so hot but I didn't want to sit outside and I didn't want to take off my shirt either.
I was in the shop alone but taking off my shirt is not my kind of thing. I am too boned and I can't afford showcasing my rib cage to anyone.
I realized I was wearing a singlet under my shirt so I decided to take off my shirt and leave the singlet on. Right after taking off my shirt, here comes Dede standing by the door looking at me. I was so shy.
This is what happened;
Dede; "How are you doing today?"
Me; " I'm doing great. What about you?"
Dede; "I'm also doing really great."
Me; "My boss is not around. He left here when the light went off."
Dede; "Did I tell you I'm looking for your boss?"
I smiled
Dede; "Actually there is light out everywhere and I thought you might be alone so I came here."
I heard my chest pounding but I gathered more courage to calm myself down. I was sweating inside too much and moreover, she is a lady. I can't sit in the shop alone with her.
I was thinking about what someone will imagine when they come and meet only the two of us in the shop with me in just a singlet.
I took a plastic chair and placed it near the door outside and asked her to sit down. I also placed another chair inside the doorway and sat on it. I wasn't facing her but we were sitting really close.
She told me she will drink water. I went inside and brought her a sachet of water.
You won't believe what she asked me to do for her next. How Love Left Me
