Chapter 8 Date gone wrong

• THE DENNIS MANSION*
• Immediately the call ended Tasha couldn't stop smiling to herself. She quickly entered the bathroom and took a quick shower.
• After a while she was done, she got out of the bathroom with her bathrobe. She walked straight to the dressing mirror taking a good look at herself.
• She looked closer and realized she's been getting really prettier lately.
• She took the body cream that was on her dressing table and applied it on her skin. She kept massaging it on her flawless skin with a smile.
• She couldn't stop thinking of how the outing was going to be. She just couldn't wait to show him how romantic she is.
• Her dress was already on the bed where the maid kept it. It was a red short gown she brought yesterday just for this special outing.
• She quickly put on her dress as she applied some deodorant on her body. She picked up a hairbrush as she brushed her long curly hair leaving it to fall freely on her shoulders.
• She applied a light make up on her face, she knew Josh to be the type of a guy who doesn't like girls with too much makeup on.
• After almost an hour, she was finally through with everything. She tapped on her phone screen to check the time. It was just 2pm and she sighed.
• " Three hours to go," she muttered. " And I am feeling sleepy, I think if I sleep the time will run faster."
• Immediately she said that, she climbed on her bed and closed her eyes tightly.

• HONEY SALT'S KITCHEN*
• Asha was sitting on one of the chairs that was at the windows side. She rested her hand on her chin as she stared outside the window.
• She has always been the isolated type and lives life the way it's been made for her.
• Today has been so stressful for her and she couldn't wait to go home. She already missed her baby girl so much. Because of work she had to tell Miss Vivian to look after Tara till she's done.
• She stared at her wall clock in the restaurant and realized that it's almost 5pm. She sighed deeply and stood up from where she's seated.
• " It's time to go pick Tara up" she said inaudibly as she removed the apron she was putting on.
• She dumped the apron on the counter and made for the door when Lucy's voice stopped her right on her track.
• " Where are you going? The boss wants to speak with you" Lucy said and immediately got back into the kitchen.
• Asha groaned inwardly and took long strides towards the boss's office.
• She placed a soft knock on the door and the boss muttered a quiet ' come In'. She got inside and saw him signing some papers on his desk.
• ' Being the owner of a restaurant, you also have to work as a CEO of a company? Look at those papers he's signing...whoa' she said inwardly.
• After a few minutes of him signing, he looked up at her with a smile on his face as usual.
• " I have one more job for you Asha" he said as he itched the edge of his nose.
• Asha looked at him and groaned inwardly again. What job is he talking about this time? She needs to go pick Tara, she's worried she hasn't eaten.
• " What Job sir?" Asha asked.
• " Delivery job, you will go deliver food at a house. He's one of my favorite customers. So can you do that for me?" He asked as he clasped his hands together.
• She took a deep breath before replying with a smile on her face.
• " Yes sir, I will do it" she said and told her all she needed to do and the type of food they ordered.
• She left his office and headed towards the kitchen, she explained to Lucy what the boss had told her. After a few minutes Lucy was done packing the meals in takeaways.
• She handed everything to her and she started her journey of food delivery.
• *******
• Asha checked the address that was given to her and looked at the house in front of her.
• She couldn't believe that she came to deliver food in a houseparty...more like a club. The loud music could be heard even from a distance.
• She has bad memories about clubs and she couldn't wait to leave quickly.
• ' it's this place' she thought with a nod
• Feeling satisfied she placed a knock on the door but there was no response. She tried again and a guy opened the door. He wasn't wearing any shirt as his abs came into view. He was looking hot.
• " I came for the delivery" she said and the guy smiled widely at her.
• " Wow, I never knew delivery girls could be so pretty" he said as he licked his lips seductively and continued
• " How about a night, I will pay handsomely"
• Asha was burning inside, but she was trying her best to keep her cool. After all, he was her boss's frequent customer.
• " With all due respect, I will pass, sir" she said and he smiled.
• " Alright then, come inside and don't say no or I will pay you no money"
• She sighed before entering. She stared at the disgusted sight in front of her. A girl and a guy were making out in the open.
• She dropped the food and the guy paid her. She was on her way out when the guy grabbed her from behind.

• GOLDEN RESTAURANT*
• Tasha browsed through the menu as she flipped the pages.
• She placed her finger on her cheek tapping it softly as she felt confused about what to order.
• They decided that their first joint should be a restaurant. Later in the evening when she was fast asleep he arrived at her place and picked her up.
• So here they are in ' GOLDEN RESTAURANT' trying to have dinner.
• Josh's face was fixed on her as he smiled lightly. How could she be this obsessed with him? He never knew a lady would be obsessed with him this much.
• After a few minutes the waiter walked to their table.
• " Would you like something to start?" He asked and Tasha browsed through the menu once more before facing him.
• "Can we’ve two sweet corn soups with some garlic bread and a vegetable platter for starters?" She asked and the waiter looked at Josh.
• " Same thing goes for me" Josh replied and he walked off.
• He returns after 10-odd minutes to serve the appetizers ( another name for starters)
• " Here are your starters." He said.
• " Thank you." Tasha replied and he walked off.
• Tasha held her cutleries and was about to dig in when Josh broke the silence.
• " Can we talk first?" He asked and she dropped her cutleries.
• " Sure."
• " I think it's high time we break up" he said and her face hardened immediately.
• Tbc....
