"Calm down. Miss,will you stop this?" Vivian pleaded but Joyce went on,not regarding her plea.

         "Hello, Mr Pride. Who are you? If not for the fact that you're a customer here,I would have done something you wouldn't expect to you," she paused and survey the place. Mr Manager wasn't around and there were also few customers and that's because it was Sunday.

          "Here's your tie,washed,dried and ironed smoothly. What else do you want me to do?" She asked, softening up.

         "Miss Joyce,I will report you to your manager," Vivian threatened with all seriousness.

        "Oh,no,pretty woman! What do you want me to do? Okay,I think I understand," she said repentantly,not that she gave a dam* about her manager but because...... Well,she didn't know.  "Mr Handsome," she called. "I'm sorry. So very sorry. I talk too much. I just realized that. I've been told so many times but I never believe I do. You can slap me, sir handsome, as long as you will order as many as you wish," she said and he was calmed with the words.

         "Miss Pretty....Sorry,I mean.... What's your name,again?" He asked and glanced at the name tag. "Joyce. Okay,apology accepted. I'm also sorry," he said and retrieved his tie from her but didn't knot it. He pocketed it instead.

        After ordering another drink and ice cream,they left the place.

        "What a shameless girl!" James said.

       "Is she? She just talk too much. Really too much. You lost your temper," Vivian told him. "I think she taught you a lesson." She laughed.

        "Whatever lesson was that!" He exclaimed annoyingly but she made no response.

         Joyce Donald sat quietly on a chair in her parents' house, recalling the day's events. She remembered the commotion she almost caused that day.

         Almost?

      "Hmmm. He's such a sly. He made me regret that. Handsome?" She questioned herself as she remembered calling him that. "No," she answered deceitfully to herself. "As ugly as something I can't say."

       She immediately skedaddle her words as her mother approached her. Felicia sat beside her but said not a word neither did Joyce.

        Felicia decided to break the silence. "What are you doing here? It's late already."

       "Nothing. I just don't feel sleepy," Joyce replied.

        "Who were you thinking of?"

         "Who?" She wondered. How did her mother know she was thinking of a who? "No one," she deceived.

         Felicia sat upright and faced her daughter who also did the same.

       "You can't lie to me and you know that. Now,tell me what happened," her mum required.

         Joyce stared at her mother and said,"Nothing. I just caused a fight. No,not a fight. It was an argument in Yes, thanks with a customer. Before you ask me what went wrong,let me tell you, "she said and explained to her mother. " I just talk too much. But I can't seem to be able to stop it,"she added.

        "It's okay,dear,since the customer forgave you. Go in and sleep."

        "Forgave me? I don't think so but I don't care anyway. I won't have anything to do with him in the future. I'm quitting the job,so....," she said and bade  her mother goodnight who wished her well on her interview the following morning.

          Joyce laid on her bed but it took her few hours before she could take her thoughts away from her and dozed off,wishing herself the best.

    "How could you be so dumb to let yourself get injured? It doesn't seem to me like you love yourself at all. See how the innocent fingers are bleeding all because of your carelessness,"Joyce nagged as she treated her boss's wound, but refused to spare him a glance. She should just help with the injury, reveal the truth to his parents and leave his life for good.She had some savings from the salary she had earned. Maybe she would just set up her own hair salon. She had learnt the work even before she got admission into the university and she was quite good at it. In fact, very good.But, she had to admit that it would be so hard to forget her boss. She had thought it would be easy not until she saw him now. All the feelings she thought she had buried in her heart resurrected at his sight and even became stronger. She was still head over heels in love with her boss. And that's why she couldn't look him in the eyes now,afraid of what she woul

    Joyce got home and started pondering about everything. She should just try to forget everything about her boss and move on. After all, she had submitted her resignation letter. She didn't need to go to work anymore but what would she do now? There is only one option and that is to go out and look for job. Philip, who could have been her other option, was now out of the game,all thanks to her amazing boss.Something popped up in her mind and she was immediately filled with remorse. James's parents. She lied to them. She deceived them, made them believe she was together with their son. She touched the necklace that was given to her by his mother. She had to return that and reveal the truth. She could not bear keeping it from them, especially Mrs. Andrew. She was too nice, although somehow cunning.She made a mental note to visit the Andrews the following day.She exited her room and went to the living room and saw h

    "Can you at least hear me out?" James pleaded in a calmer tone. He used a hand to rub his neck and paced a few times before taking Joyce's hand and took her to his living room.She couldn't say anything. All she found herself doing was looking at him go about before settling on the large table at the center of the room before her."Joyce, I really don't know how to explain this to you for you to be really convinced,"he started and met her eyes, but she didn't utter a word so he continued," Vivian and I are just friends. Nothing more. I don't know what she has planted into your head but they are all lies,"he said, and when she opened her mouth, probably to protest, he made her swallow her unspoken words by holding her hands.He must confess,he loved the feeling. "Joyce, I love you," he revealed and watched as her gaze shifted from their hands to his face and he nodded in confirmation that he meant what he said. "I really do

    James lifted her chin with his right index finger and made her to look at him while he stared at the luscious twins beneath her nose that were trembling, possibly out of fear.He smiled. "I'll recognize those lips anywhere,"he mentioned and her jaw dropped." But, I'll have to confirm, "his voice came out as a whisper now.Joyce's mouth opened and close more than usual. It seemed she suddenly forget how to talk. She couldn't make words out of her mouth. What was he trying to do? What did he mean by confirming? She was curious.James leaned his head downward slowly with his finger still under her chin. He raised his eyelids to see that she almost had her eyes closed and also leaning toward him, although with hesitation, as if she was unsure about it.Gently, but seductively, his lips touched hers but moved away too quickly. He started acting sluggishly when she suddenly seemed impatient to be connected with

    Joyce opened the metal door widely and rushed in. She looked at her boss on his king sized bed and thought he was unconscious. With fear, she climbed the bed and started calling his name. She was beginning to sweat in her palms but as she lifted one of his hands in hers, he made a turn around and rested his bonce on her thighs.She hissed aloud. "Gosh, I thought he's dead. I've forgotten he sleeps like one," she complained to her relief and then pushed him gently to awake him. "James?"No response."Hey, James," she shouted but he could only snuggled closer and circled a hand around her waist. Her mouth formed an 'o' as she exclaimed, "You've got some guts, haven't you?" She uttered as her eyes drifted to where her phone was on the far edge of the bed. She would have to stretch all her body to reach it.James turned with his chest facing up. He was still fast asleep or so she thought.

    When he closed at the office, he went home to have a nap. He was very tired but all he planned was a few minutes nap before he would eat and return Joyce's phone. He got to his large living room which has a few painting of his pictures on the walls. The colors of the curtains and chairs are the same which was chocolate brown against the cream colored walls. He dropped his briefcase carelessly on the sofa, took off his suit, tie and shoes and let them assemble on the tiled floor as he walked to his room, almost with closed eyes. He fell softly on his bouncy bed and his planned nap turned into hours of sleep with Joyce's phone in his hand as he sprawled on the bed. Joyce got to his living room burning with anger from what Vivian had told her. She didn't know where she got her address from but she had been there to confirm all her fears and doubts. She wasn't surprised at all. She c
