“we're just on one plate of food Gold. When are we gonna finish up?” I asked and she looked up
“I'm already filled actually” she said
“well I'm not” I stated
“and you're going to eat till the end” I added and began to eat. She shrugged and began to eat
“the second plate is scallops cooked with white wine and mushrooms” I said
“what's with you and wine food?” she asked and I chuckled
“I'm obsessed” I said with a grin
“same way I'm obsessed with seafood” she stated and finally drank the wine
“you are? Just like Wini. That girl loves fish and all those stuff. She can trade me for a can of sardines” I said and that made her laugh so hard. I even began to laugh myself
After we finished lunch, I decided to drive her home. I was glad she didn't object and I was even more glad that she was free with me now. I don't know why I care about how she sees me. I know lots of people love me but I felt guilty somehow when she disliked me.
While we were in the car driving to the place she said I should drop her, I decided to ask if she still hated me
“so, Goldilocks, do you still hate me?”
“Goldilocks?” she asked, staring at me
‘‘Marigold, Gold, Goldfish, Goldie, Goldilocks. Anyone I call you” I answered and she chuckled
“so do you still hate me?” I asked again
Wow. She said my fingers
“not really. My best friend will kill me if I hate you again” she replied
“your best friend” I said not as a question but a statement
“her name is Eliza. She loves you so so much. She is a huge fan of yours and when I told her about you, she almost killed me for getting you angry” she replied and looked out the window
“so you actually have a friend who's interested in entertainment? And it seems you're not really into it”
“well, I... Didn't have a television. And well.. I'd rather not talk about it”
“my regards to your friend. Eliza” I said and pulled over by the streetside where I had picked her up
“thanks for the lunch Will” she appreciated and I nodded. I pulled out one of my complimentary cards but I pushed it back in. If I give it to her it will seem to official or formal. I don't want a formal friendship.
So I even want a friendship with her?
Well, it's worth a try
“do you have a number? Or a phone?”
She shook her head
“but there's a telephone in my house. Why'd you ask?”
I pulled out a marker pen and took her hand. She shuddered
“hey, I'm not going to bite” I said with a laugh
I wrote my personal number on her palm.
“call me with the telephone anytime you're free” I said and she nodded and opened the door and stepped out
“bye” she waved
“bye” I repeated and she closed the door. I watched her walk into the quarters neighbourhood and I remembered that I forgot to ask her if she's now living here.
I reversed my car and saw her entering a particular house. With the way she just arranged some things and opened the door it was obvious she lived there.
I drove away, heading to Wini's house. There's a movie that's coming up and I don't know why Wini wants us to tax the producers. It seems she has an issue with one of them.
I arrived at her house and went straight up. She lives in a large bungalow mostly made of glass walls. Her vicinity is purely nature. Trees and flowers and all that.
Her security is a little tight, because lots of celebrities dislike her and she says she can't risk her life.
I entered inside and asked for her, her servants said she was in the yard. I went there and met her painting her nails under a tree.
I sat on the chair opposite her on the table
“hey, you scared me” she yelled
“I wish I did.” I replied sarcastically
“whatever” she said while rolling her eyes
“should I get you something?” she asked with her eyes fixed on her nails
“just got back from a date” I answered
“who? Kate? Elene? Carly? Juliet? Selena? Lois?...”
“hey...” I yelled
“what? I'm just calling the name of ladies you'd likely go on a date with” she said glaring at me
“I met with my janitor again” I said and her eyes widened
“what?? That girl again? I thought you forgot about her already? Wait, don't tell me you've been seeing her all these time” she blurted out and I laughed till she got angry and almost threw me her nail varnish
‘‘you have such a temper! Ah!” I said after controlling my laughter
‘‘Wilbur why are you hanging out with a janitor? This is unlike you! You don't talk to strangers or people you aren't close to. What is wrong with you?”
“do you have a problem with me hanging out with her?”
“I'm just concerned about your safety. You don't know who is who Wilbur” she stated and blew air on her nails
“I know. But I hope she's not dangerous because I want her to be my friend. I like her” I stated and looked at her to see her reaction
“well I don't like her even if she helped me to be twice as rich as I was before” she said and I shook my head
“she is obsessed with seafood” I said out and Wini immediately looked up at me
“she loves seafood? Are you serious?” she asked and I nodded
“wow. Finally someone who loves seafood like I do. What's her favorite dish?” she asked and I laughed
“I don't know. But I can ask her” I replied
“please ask her. And ask her if she can cook any seafood delicacy and if she can come to buffet?” she stood up with her kit of nails whatsoever
“imagine” I mumbled as she made way towards the house
Wini's memory is that of a chicken. Once something comes in, another thing gets ou
