” Baby are you okay?” i heard mi mom’s voice from the door. I quickly wiped the tears in my eyes and turned to her. She slowly walked to me and sat on my bed. “You are not wearing anything? Are you sick? Have you been crying? Did anything happened?” Mi mom asked as she touched me all over to feel my temperature. With the care and concern she showered me, i could not help but feel loved. I burst into tears and went into Mi mom’s arm, she took me in and slowly patted my back. She allowed me to cry into her arms and released me when i was no longer crying. She lifed my face up and said “What is it my baby?”. I took my time to explain everything that happened to mi mom, she gave me a listening ear and took in every word. When i stopped to talk, mi mom sighed and said ” I see why you’ve been crying but i want you to know he does’nt worth your tears baby. No man does, not to talk of someone that has cheated on you before and treated you like you never existed. I know you love him but do not let the love blindfold you. From what you said kelvin has been there for you. Am not taking sides here but Nancy, I need you to open your eyes and do not let Jordan’s love blindfold you. There is a difference between a soul mate and a partner. Don’t make the mistake of making a switch. No matter how much you try, if you do not belong with your soul mate, yout will never end up with him. Think about it baby, i know you are smart”.
I thought about mi Mom’s statement for a while but i could not phantom what she ment. “who is my soul mate and who is my partner” I asked myself without getting an answer.
The ringing of my phone interupted my chat with mi mom. I check the caller I.D and it was kelvin. My mom asked who it was and i told her it was kelvin. She told me to answer his call as she excused herself. “Hello… You forgot your bag with me, you wanna come get it in my room…?”
***********
“Hello miss… You forgot your bag with me, you wanna come get it in my room?” Kelvin said from the other end. I could not help but laugh at his silly question, ” and what is happening in your room?” i asked with little interest. ” ehm lets just say something that will wipe your tears” kelvin said. I hummed and said “Not good enough reason for me to come cos have not been crying”
“Seriously?!” kelvin shouted and i told him yes.
“what if i have a better reason?” kelvin asked and i told him its not because of his reason, it just because i wanted to be alone. Kelvin respected my wish of wanting to be alone and told me to take care of myself before ending the call.
I switched my phone off and sluggishly got a dress from my wardrobe before i went to see Mi mom in her room. We talked for awhile about alot of things excluding relationships, i gussed mi mom was purposefully skipping that part. After a lot of gisting, i had dinner with mi mom, though i had little appetite, her company lifted my spirit.
After dinner, i told mi mom i would retire to my room. “Sure you will be fine?” mi mom asked and i noded. “I don’t think so, probably you sure come stay with me” Mi mom said and i agreed, with the conclusion that been alone will only help in making me think of Jordan the more. I had my shower and changed into my night wear in my room before i went to join Mi mom in bed. Mi mom was super fun to be with, if not for her,i would have cry myself to sleep.

“Hey baby, wake up you are late for work”. I heard some whisper into my ear from afar. I slowly opened my eyes and i saw mi mom. “Get up honey, you are late for work” Mi mom said again and the event that brought me to her room occurred to me. I looked outside the window and saw how bright it was already, i quickly pulled the blanket away from my body and rushed to my room. Thinking of how harsh Mr.larry would scold me for my lateness.
I had a quick bath and quickly got a dress before i applied little make up. Satisfied with my look i rushed out of my room and said a quick bye to mi mom before dashing out to my car.
Fortunately for me, I met mr.larry’s absence at work. I quickly settled in my spaced and got bussy with the files on my table, though the files were not due for submission anytime soon, but i needed something to be bussy with in order to free my mind.
I was still bussy with work when i heard a knock on my door. I told the person at the door to come in and a delivery boy walked in.
“Are you miss Nancy” he asked and i noded. “please sign here” he said as he put a note in front of me. I signed and received the package with surprise. I quickly opened the package immediately the boy was out of sight. “Waoh!” I murmured immediately i saw the content of the package. In the package was a very beautiful red rose and a colourful greeting card. I smelt the rose as i read the message in the greeting card. It was a beautiful Goodmorning message and i could not help but smile as i read. Inside the card was a small written note. “miss your phone has been off. I quickly got my phone from my bag and switched it on as i read the content of the note over and over again, trying to figure out whose hand writing it was. My only hope was for it to be from Jordan, in a bid to apologies for his wrong. “I will surly forgive him again” i said as i fold the note and got back to work.

At exactly 4:00pm, i got off work. I decided it was time to leave when i had nothing else to do. I packed my bag and left for my car. “hey miss!”. I heard someone say behind me, i turned and saw kelvin full of smile. I walked up to him and hugged him before i asked what he was doing at my walking place. “ehm lets just say am waiting for an angel and i found her already” kelvin said with a smile and i hitted him playfully. “Get in” kelvin said and i asked “to where?”.
“no questions” he said as he opened the door for me. Kelvin was behaving all romantic and this made me doubt if the delivery was from Jordan.
“wait… Did you send the delivery boy?” I asked with a questioning look. “Lets say i did” kelvin said with a charming smile and we both got into the car. I handed my car key to one of kelvin’s security before we zoomed off to the unknown destination.

I ended up in a cinema with Kelvin. We saw a movie together and i loved every moment of it. In the middle of the movie kelvin tapped me and touched his shoulder. I knew he was trying to tell me to place my head on his shoulder but, i pretended i was lost. He tapped me again and touched his head before touching his shoulder , i could not help but burst into laughter. With him realising that i was pretending not to get his sign, he pulled my head and placed it on his shoulder with a little force. I would have fought him to free myself but the laughter made me weak. I let my head rest on his shoulder and concentrated on inhaling his scent over the movie.
