Miss you so much!!!!

As always, the beginning of December is getting colder than previous years.

Ajara is busy this time in the restaurant. Just different position. Today she as turned to a chef, who is busy making breakfast for her customers. Meanwhile Shadrach who came for breakfast is busy spying the whole place for her.

"Sir what will you like to have?" Asked a waitress

" I will have a breakfast wrap and some coffee, thanks." he said

"wait." he stopped the water who was about to move away

"How can I help you, sir" she asked after he was quite for some time

"Emm... please where's Ajara? he finally asked with uneasiness, but who will care to know how he managed to ask of her. It seems he couldn't even figure out why he had been thinking about her throughout the night, and he wishes to see her.

"She is in the kitchen today , sir." she responded

Shadrach raised an eyebrow more like questioning her 'what is she doing there'.

"Today she is a one of our chefs. So she is not here but in the kitchen. she answered after seeing the question behind is raised eyebrow.

"ok, thanks " he replied

The waitress left and came back with is order.

For the first since he started eating here, he tasted something different about his breakfast. The seasoning was different but gives a refreshing feeling after eating. Is a little complicated because one could tell is a variety of spices but strange enough, you can seem to separate the individual spices as the give off a new taste and aroma.

" Excuse me," he called out

"yes, how may I help " the same waitress who served him approach him after his call for assistance

"Sorry but, who made this?"

"Is there something wrong, sir? we can change if it doesn't suit you taste" said the waitress

" I don't mean that. I just like it so I asked. You don't have to worry" he said, reassuring the waitress

"ok, please hold on a minute" she walks away after saying that

She came back with the chef right behind her

" You asked..." she stops after seeing the customer. " Do you eat here everyday?" she asked him

"I called you here, so you answer my questions first. ok?"

" Your questions can wait. Answer me, or..... did you.... come to ...see me?" she asked in a jovial tone as she chuckles making Shadrach choke on his coffee .

"You don't need to choke over that , right?" she tease him as she pass the water and sat across him.

" Is it true you made this?" he asked after drinking a glass of water to control himself

"why? Don't like it?"

"Not that. just didn't expect that. Are you not a waitress? so why are you now a chef?"

" Well, I am quite good in the kitchen and it doesn't hurt to now more right?" she answered half smiling as if to cover up something

"so, I heard you asked of me. What's up?" she added in a sure tone

" I will like to say sorry for the other time"

She raised her eyebrows in a confused way. Is like she can't connect to what he was saying

" After the club." He added when he saw her confused look

" Ahh that, no problem. So are you going to say let's be friends? Accepted." she asked the question and answered it without hearing him out. Shadrach was rendered speechless by her. He couldn't help but like her straight forward behavior. Ever since he was brought to live with his biological parents, life has not been easy. He is always among noble families wearing fake smiles to please him. If the elders are not giving false smiles with a lot of schemes behind, then the young ladies are trying to please him or better still clinging onto him with ulterior motives and high knowledge in cunning .

Is rare to encounter someone with a warm and refreshing feeling. Giving you a comfortable feeling.

Shadrach and Ajara had a long chat and soon become comfortable with each others presence. The talked and laugh like old friends that have not met for years. All along it was Ajara doing most of the talking about the places she had been to, the funny things that happen and a lot. But surprisingly Shadrach enjoyed it. He didn't seem bored but on the contrary more interested in listening to her.

"Ajara my sweetheart, don't you miss me at all?" a beautiful and elegant black air lady stood two tables away with a pouted expression.

" Oh my baby Betty, I can't believe you appear right after I missed you like crazy " said Ajara as she stood up with arms wide open moving to hug her friend." I miss you very very much, my baby girl" she said as she hugged her tight.

" Really? Did you miss at all? I don't see it. How come you didn't visit me then? Tell me?" Betty said released herself from the hug with a fake angry expression.

"Don't you believe me anymore am hurt" Ajara said puppy eyes and seeing it was not taking immediate effect, she held her friend's hand and said while shaking I." You know I have been quite busy, why don't you forgive me?" she acted like a child repenting ignoring all the few eyes staring at her in the quite and isolated section of the restaurant.

" I see, but I will have to punish you for that." said Betty with a smile

" Yes ma! This sinner is ready to repent and be punish" she said with a serious face and a straightened back with both hands and legs at her side like a soldier or military officer facing a senior.

"That is good then" said betty as the two laughed and went into a hug again.

Ajara drag her to the table she was at with Shadrach.

"Shadrach this is Betty, my best friend. And Betty this is Shadrach my friend" she introduced as she moved her between them.

Shadrach didn't know why but he suddenly felt bad for been introduce as a 'friend' . He wanted to be more than just a friend, and he was quite shocked about that but kept his emotions normal and accepted the hand shake from Betty with a smile.

" Hello, nice to meet you" said Betty

" Nice to meet you too" he said with a gentle and yet polite smile

The two ladies started talking about their ladies stuffs and where to go and what to do.

They had long list of what to do and where to go. They had forgotten about the handsome guy by them.

Shadrach didn't like that Ajara is no more focusing on him. He is starting to dislike Betty for snatching Ajara's attention from him.

Suddenly his phone vibrated on the table attracting their attention.

"Hello" He answered the phone with a complete cold, authoritative and emotionless tone.

In less than a minute he ended the call and brought his attention back to the ladies who looked like their tongues have been bitten by a cat , with their eyes wide open in amazement. They were amazed at how quick he changed his expressions.

Now with a smiling and gentle look he looked at Ajara and spoke, " I need to get back to work. I will call you later", then turning to Betty he wore a polite look and gave her a nod before walking away

" Hey, is that your new catch? He is really worthy to be worshiped with the eyes" said Betty in a low tone but Shadrach still heard and couldn't help but reduce is speed.

Ajara chuckled and wave her hand in a 'no' action. "Napa, can't afford to fight others" the two started laughing but Shadrach felt half good to be recognized and also half bad that Ajara doesn't think of him in that way. With an expression unknown to others , he walk.
