Simon stood quietly starring at her
Waiting for an answer.
He loves when she's restless like this ,especially in front of him.and Damn!!!...those lips she continues bitting her killing him.
His jaw line tighten
Nancy, completely oblivion to what's happening continue to ponder .
Simon suddenly suck in a sharp breath causing her to look at him.
"Maybe the park?" She asked
It took a while for him to reply as his mind was no where near what she's talking about.
"Do you want the park?"he asked
"Yes" she answered softly
Why is he suddenly acting like this?
Maybe it because of mother?
Yeah!..that should be it.
"Tomorrow then?" His question startled her abit
"Um ...yes sure.. I'll inform mother immediately" she responded
Without any words being shared she quickly excused herself.
Outside the door she held her chest tight
Exhaling heavily
What just happened?
He actually agreed to do something with her??
Not just that but he...he made her to pick a place .
Her hands reChed her temple pressing against it
Is this normal?'
A voice in her head continue to tell her this is for his mother
But then did he have to ask her??
She left to the dinning table in light foot steps not wanting to make a sound

IN COUNTRY C
Ariel woke up early the next day in other to prepare for work.
She can't believe she didn't ask him about the time.And the address he gave her was really strange because she hasn't heard of the place before.
She calmly arrange her things
She didn't really pack much as she didn't see the need to.
She was dusting her shoe when Joe walked in.
Joe was a really tall African American man , muscular in nature.very handsome and he cares about Ariel alot
Some miss understand their relationship at times for love as they are really close.
They have been together since collage, getting a job was really hard so they settled to leave together as a way of reducing the rent.
Deep down he knew he liked her but didn't know how to tell as she has already made it clear that they can never be anything beyond friends.
He stood at the door frame quietly watching her .
"Are you coming over at weekends at least?"
He asked,his voice low.
She turned toward him with a smile
"I'll try ..I don't know yet .. but I promise you that I'll try"
Her words didn't really give him measurement he was hoping for.
Nothing his mood Ariel stood up and walk toward him.
She understands that it won't be easy see that they've spent almost four years of their live together but she doesn't know what else to do.
Again 'curse her mouth for putting her in such a mess'
She slowly held his large hands placing her between.
"I don't want you to worry about me Joe...I promise.. I'll be alright"
He smiled at her words.
"I don't him Ariel...you know this white men and their sheets,his trying to mess with you "
"I won't let him...ok?..I'll be home before you know it "
