The Eyes Hold The Keys To The Soul

Chapter 24

Olivia Yamkela Jakkals 

Few days later.

He laughs out loud.

Lyden: And you what? You just kept quiet?

I nod.

He laughs again.

Lyden: Nie jirre Olivia. Nie so nie. Was he that handsome? ( Lord no. Not like that Olivia.)

Yammy: Handsome doesn't even begin to cut it.

Lyden: Oh I forgot, he is a majestic creature that the heavens took the time to specially craft to perfection.

Yammy: Exactly.

He laughs again.

Lyden: I have to see this creature, have you stalked him on Instagram yet?

I look at him with a side eye.

Lyden: Oh right. That's a bummer.

We reach his work place. He works as a receptionist part time for some company.

I accompany him into the building.

He hugs me and just then I see 3 men looking dapper as fuck in suits, walking out having a conversation...and there he is. The creature.
Sigh. Must he look so goddamn sexy in a suit?
His eyes catch mine and he stops and stares at me.
Shit!

Lyden: Thanks for taking me out to lunch babe.

I nod.

Yammy: Mmmh.

He raises his eye brow.

Lyden: En nou? Wats fout? You're acting weird. ( And now? What's wrong?)

My heart is beating so fast.
Why is he staring at me as if I'm the only being on this floor.
He's probably thinking about the time I made a fool of myself a few days back.

Lyden looks at the back then looks at me then looks at the back once more then back at me. His raises his eyes wide open.

Lyden: No ways!

The creature and the other 2 men he's walking with are coming in our direction and his eyes still haven't left me. I've got to get out of here.

I turn and walk out of the building and head straight towards my car.
I face palm myself.

Yammy: The fuck is wrong with you.

I receive a call.

Lyden: Why'd you run off like that?

He's laughing at me.
I ignore him.

Lyden: OK fine, I just wanted to wish you a safe trip to Cuba for your little sisters graduation.

Yammy: Thanks I appreciate it, I'll buy you something special from that side.

Lyden: Awww babe you're the best. I can't wait for the gift.

He giggles. 

Lyden: Do you want to know his name?

Yammy: Bye, I'll call you later!

I gently rub my stomach in a circular manner.

Yammy: What's wrong with me baby? Why do I act like a 16 year old around the creature? Huh nana? (My baby.)

I laugh lightly.

Yammy: Mommy loves you soo much.

While on my way to the airport, I receive a call from Momo.

Kgomotso: Hey beautiful.

Yammy: Hi, how are you?
