Chapter 4 Troubles of love

I woke up the next morning and I was enthusiastic about what was going to happen in the evening. I took my bath and watched a lot of movies until I slept off. I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing. It was my mom calling. I looked at the time on the wall clock and it read 6:30pm. I jumped up from my bed before picking the call. "Hello mom, I'm very busy right now. I'll call you back." I said and hung up. I took a quick shower, applied a little makeup and wore a red sleeveless dress with slit at the bottom. I contemplated on whether to wear black or white shoes and clutch.

I ended up choosing the former. His call came in immediately after I had sprayed perfume. "Just in time" I said to myself and picked the call. "Hello, I'm outside your house." Owen said over the phone. "Okay, i will meet you there now." I said. When I went outside, I saw Owen standing outside his car. He was wearing a transparent white shirt, with three buttons opened and a pair of black trousers. "He is hot." I said to myself. I walked towards him and he gave me a side hug before opening the car door for me to enter. He scented like strawberry. I entered the car and he shut the door before walking to the driver's side and he entered the car. "You look stunning" Owen said. I smiled and said "stop flattering me." Owen smiled before turning the key in the ignition and the engine rolled to life. He took me to an expensive restaurant. When we got there, the security man standing in front of the door asked "please do you have any reservation?" Owen replied and said "yes, we do have a table reserved." "Under which name sir?" The security man asked. Owen told him and he checked a book he was holding. "Confirmed." The security man said and a waiter directed us to the reserved table. A cool music was playing in the background. I kept staring at the beautifully decorated interior because i have never been to an expensive restaurant before. "Good evening, what would you like to have sir and ma?" A waiter asked. Owen glanced through the menu and said he'd like to have spaghetti bolognese with chicken and mango juice. "What would you like to have?" Owen asked me. "I'll go with spaghetti bolognese with chicken too but I'd prefer orange juice " I replied. "Thank you, will be ready in 5 minutes" the waiter said and he walked away. "Uhmm... I don't even know your name." Owen said while scratching his head. He looked like he was nervous. "My name is Hazel." I said. "Wow Hazel, that's a beautiful name you have got." Owen said. I said "thank you." And I smiled. "So Hazel, tell me about your self." Owen asked. "What do you want to know?" I asked . Owen chuckled and said "everything." "Well, my name is Hazel Adebayo and I'm an a police officer of Ajah police station. I enjoy reading, watching movies, swimming. My favorite food is the Nigerian Jollof rice." Owen interrupted and said " I guess we have a lot of things in common. I like you already." I blushed and said "Oh really?" Owen nodded his head and said "please go on." "My favorite color is blue, I'm from Ogun st..." i was saying as i got interrupted by the waiter. "Here's your food." Owen smiled and said "Thank you" as he paid the bills using his card on the POS the waiter was with and gave him a single 1,000Naira note as tip. "Thank you sir, please enjoy your meal" the waiter said before disappearing.
