My phone rang making me jolt back a little..
I checked the caller and saw that it was my best friend cross calling.
Cephas had been my best buddy right from kindergarten and he was like a brother to me.
"hey man what're you up to"he asked playfully..
"nothing much just tied up in the office "
"that's so boring,how about we grab some coffee at Michelangelo's,i really miss that place"
I could imagine him sighing dreamily.
Kk I'll meet you there I'm you there in 20 minutes...
Another call came in from my mom,i was contemplating on hanging up..
I then changed my mind and picked it up.
"hello son,where have you been,i tried calling you last night,but it went to the voicemail.
You didn't come home last night,
Miley was disappointed..
"like I care... I thought ..
"I was pretty occupied last night,so I couldn't come"
"alright then,make sure you attend the dinner party tonight"
"k I will"
The line went dead.
"james"i'm leaving now.. Please do take care of everything,i don't think I'll be coming back today"
I grabbed my keys,mentally thanking cephas for calling...
If not for him.. I'd probably still be stuck in this death hole of a office..
On my way to to Michaelangelo's diner,i kept thinking about that girl..I casually glanced at my phone to see if she would call but she didn't..
I finally got there. I sighted cephas who was throwing flirtatious winks at some lady sitting opposite him...it was so typical of him,i rolled my eyes..
Back then in college he was known to be a player.. Girls were always flocking around him..
He often made out with girls in corners or the janitors closet, attend parties,but he never smoked nor drink..or even take advantage of girls...
He was the complete opposite of me..
Me being the serious one, and him the nuthead,even though people thought of me as handsome and cool they never tried to get close to me..
I dated a girl back then in the University but she dumped me because she said I was a prude.. But then I never cared..
"hey man I missed you a lot, he said while smirking..
"it's been only a week ceph, stop kidding around "I said as I grabbed a chair to sit down..
"so how's the business going,mama's boy"he smirked.
"never call me that again"i warned him.
"or what mama's boy"
Or I will suckerpunch your face
"ouch that hurts man"thats no way to welcome a friend you've not seen in a while.
"how was your trip I asked ignoring his previous statement
"it was OK..
"but man you've got to see the chicks in Florida,tanning goddesses all running around in their bikinis"
"I thought you went to settle a case in Florida"
I asked slightly amused..
"yeah but then the girls just keep coming"
"so how many girls did you hook up wit over there "
"uhm I'm guessing five.. And they gave me their contacts.ding!he winked flashing a set of white teeth..
"Casanova that's what you are, running after anything in skirts and bikinis"
It was my turn to smirk now.
"but you can't blame for that you know "
"yeah,yeah whatever,you've virtually dated more girls than the number of cells in your brain "
Ahh man that hurts so much "he frowned while clutching his heart..
I just laughed
"speaking of girls..who is the lucky babe..
"none, my mom is on my neck"
"why? He asked
She wants a wife for me, I'm also losing customers cos they claim I'm not married"
"so pathetic"
"so what are you going to do he asked
"I'm planning on renting a bride"
"hahahaha he bursted out laughing..
"what's funny "
"that sounds like a pick-up line from a movie..
"seriously speaking do you mean that"
"do I look like am joking.. It's going to be like a contract marriage"
"as cliche as this might sound I'm With you on this"he smiled..
