the betrayal: chapter 11

THE MYSTERY GUY

A few minutes later after our food had just been  served, I felt a couple walk in and there was something pushing me to look to their direction, when I did I saw the guy had his arm around the girls shoulder and they were kissing, I was disturbed from the disgusting sight by a noise of crushing plates, when I looked to where the noise was coming from, I saw Chantell picking up the pieces of broken glass and wiping her tears.

I remembered the vision I had earlier and it looked like the same guy in my vision was the guy kissing another girl, it seemed to me like he is Chantell's boyfriend and he is busy with another girl  right in-front of her, I stood up and went to go help her up from the floor, I held her into a hug and walked her back into the staff room.

"Are you okay Chantel", I asked, she nodded, " I saw what happened out there, was that your boyfriend"?, she cried harder as she nodded and I just stood there holding her for what felt like hours.

When she was calm, Munangwa banged on the door," Musuku I know you are in there, for Christ's sake what are you doing in there? It says staff on the door and you don't even work here, who is that girl, you were with earlier? Do you even know her?" She yelled. I stood up and opened the door for her "will you stop yelling? Do you not see that we are in public? Gosh" she quickly looked down and waved at Chantel embarrassed at her actions.

The manager soon walked in shouting and pointing at Chantel saying he was going to deduct the money for the plates she just broke from her wages.

I stood up and told him its my fault she broke the plates and that I'd be more than happy to pay for them before I leave his restaurant.

He simply smiled and apologized saying "here at Steak we do not make our customers pay for mistakes, I thought maybe she just broke it out of carelessness, its okay miss, you do not have to pay for it".

We then went back to our table where we finished eating and settled the bill. We walked out of steak and I told Munangwa there's a book at CUM books that I needed to get, the latest release by Andrew Murray, I saw it on a TV commercial.

We went to CUM books and as soon as we walked in I could feel a pair of eyes digging into my back, all of a sudden I was consumed with the urge to sniff the air and his scent erupted goosebumps all over my body. The desire to entice my eyes with his sight grew stronger, with that I decided on depriving my eyes.

Munangwa was busy squealing besides me screaming for my attention while I zoned off to try and analyze what was happening " oh my gosh, there's a hot guy starring at you from behind, don't look now but boy he's like a Greek god" I heard her whisper.

I simply shrugged her off and walked on to the Andrew Murray collection section, I picked up a few books including the one I went there for in the first place.

When I was done I quickly walked to the cashier and paid for my books, as I was waiting for her to put them in a plastic bag, I heard Munangwa grab my hand and squeal "he's coming towards you", I almost shouted at the cashier to hurry up, as soon as she handed me the bag and change I hurried out of the shop.

As I hurried out, Munangwa told me to slow down and talk to the guy to which I refused to do, she told me he was behind us and he's almost catching up, just when I was about to start running, my phone rang and I answered it, "saved by the phone, thank God my mother called" I walked on to a bench nearby, where I sat and spoke to my mom, Munangwa remained behind talking to the mystery guy.

I could hear my mom sounded upset over the phone, I asked her what was wrong and she told me I needed to come back to the village because aunt Rossane had passed on, I felt a sting in my eyes and before I knew it, tears were flooding out of my eyes, I told my mom I would come to her in two days time and ended the call.

I stood up to walk to my car when Munangwa followed me, thank goodness she was alone this time.

We walked to the car and she told me my life is about to get interesting, I looked at her and she saw that I was crying she asked what was wrong and I told her about aunty Rossa, she held me in a hug and said she would come with me to the village.

We drove back home and I could see a glimpse of guilt in her eyes, I didn't want to ask why so I ignored it and kept driving in silence.

Aaah so there's a mystery guy? what should I call him?
