Zenzele
It was finally Friday and I was standing with my crew at my stand. Trisha and Tracy decided that it was too hot so they went to get some ice creams. A few people stood at my stand to ask questions. Then someone very interesting caught my eye. I answered their questions but she didn’t even ask a question. The group left and she remained.
Me: Fadz… What can I do for you?
I gave her a smile. And she shrieked. She was dressed in baggy jeans and a t-shit. Her hair tied in a neat bun. And even though she was messy she was attractive as f--k.
Fadz: wipe that stupid grin off your face… You look ridiculous.
Me: Fadz… I have manners unlike you and I know how to treat my customers unlike you.
Fadz: are you saying that i have no manners
Me: you said it… Not me.
Fadz: for your Info… I am not a customer
Me: really then why are you here.
Fadz: I am here with my dad… And he is boring me to hell,
Me: oh Is he in the truck business
Fadz: yes… He is a mechanic, he repairs trucks and builds spare parts.
Me: he builds spare parts, from scratch?
Fadz: yes.
Me: that is cool. I think I will have to work with your father
Fadz: is this your company?
Me: uhh… Yes it is. Wait… Why are you chatting with me?
Fadz: you are the only person I know who isn’t my family
Me: and you are actually being nice
Fadz: hey… I can be nice.
Me: nice enough to have lunch with me?
Fadz: I don’t see that happening brother
She turned to go and I held her hand.
Me: don’t call me brother it feels awfully wrong and please just one lunch.
Fadz: you know what
Me: what?
Fadz: I only came here to chat with you because I thought you might be a little fun since its boring here but then like any other guy you misinterpreted my friendliness.
Me: I didn’t
Fadz: good because I am going now… leave my hand.
What is the best way to get a girl when she is playing hard to get. Right… I got it, pity. I took a deep breath looking sad and let her hand go
Me: it’s okay… I am used to rejection anyway.
I looked at her face and she looked disgusted
Fadz: Man… pick your pants up. What the hell are you doing?
Me: I am just trying to get you to have lunch with me
Fadz: by acting like a victim of heart break.
Me: technically I am
Fadz: guess what?
Me: what?
Fadz: I don’t want damaged goods
Me: guess what?
Fadz: what?
Me: I was joking
She laughed while shaking her head.
Fadz: you are nuts.
Me: maybe… please just one lunch with me and I will leave you alone
Fadz: you will?
Me: yes of course but if you don’t want me to leave you alone then I won’t.
Fadz: don’t get too ahead of yourself.
Me: so lunch today… meet me at the parking lot in two hours.
Fadz: the show ends at 5 PM
Me: so… just sneak.
Fadz what about you?
Me: hey this is my company I do what I want.
Fadz: my goodness… okay fine let me go then, I am pretty sure my father is wondering where the hell I am.
I watched her as she went away to her stand as soon as I was certain she couldn’t see me I high fived myself and turned around only to find Trisha and her annoying friend behind me.
Tracy: so… who was that?
Me: none of your business
Tracy: one of your baits
Me: Trisha… does your offer still stand?
Trisha: what offer?
Me: the… “Take over my father’s business for a while” offer
Trisha: yes… are you up for it?
Me: absolutely
Tracy: wait, just hold on for a minute… you mean you want to give this uneducated mess of a men your father’s company… this is illegal
Me: will you shut up Tracy
Trisha: trust me this guy knows his business… he is even better than me.
Tracy: Trisha, are you even listening to yourself right now?
Trisha: you should really stop underestimating Zenzele, he may have not finished his school but he is good at what he does
Me: so where do I sign
I said looking at Tracy who then shook her head in disapproval.
Trisha: we will do the paper work at home.
Tracy: I wonder why you are suddenly interested in the business
Me: like I said before Tracy… nothing to do with you.
I left the girls at the stand while I thought of ways to steal her heart… she obviously isn’t the kind to be wowed by money so I planned my moves perfectly. When the time came, she found me at the parking lot with an umbrella.
Fadz: what are you doing with an umbrella?
Me: we are walking to lunch so this is for the sun.
She slightly laughed and nodded. I opened the umbrella and held her hand. She gently pulled her hand off mine.
Me: come on… let the guy have the time of his life
Fadz: what… why?
Me: it could be the last time I see you
She slightly laughed again and I held her hand again. This time she didn’t refuse with her hand. I secretly smiled as we walked. I took her across the green garden first it looked empty and I knew there were possibilities of crooks attacking us so I hired some people to track us.
Me: so you work for your father and mother?
Fadz: no… I just do that part time.
Me: oh, that’s great… how old are you again?
Fadz: 18
I looked at her stunned by her age. I knew she was young but I didn’t think she would be this young… maybe 20 or 21.
Me: wow you are so young… are you doing your first year
Fadz: no I just finished my last year at high School
Oh lord, she is young. I suddenly felt like letting her hand go… I mean she just finished at high school and I am five years older than her.
