Chapter 8 - An Unexpected Encounter

''Come in'' Brianna said

Charlotte enters and walks in leaving the door behind her closed

''Hello charlotte'' Brianna said cheerfully

''Hey'' charlotte replies

Brianna introduces charlotte to her mom and vice versa

''mom, this's charlotte the friend I toke to a while ago on the phone

''oh wow, what a lovely girl. you're such a beauty'' mom complimented

''Yeah, what even kills me is her winning green eyes and her bare midriff''

''Enough with the praises, I appreciate. Let's get to why am here'' charlotte says

''Can I be excused, going to the washroom'' Mrs. Dorothy said

''Sure''

''I have two news'' Charlotte says delightfully

''Am optimistic, spill it'' speaking eagerly

''Okay, the first is that I got the money for your mom's treatment and the second is that through the process I met a charming and charismatic gentleman

''Oh my gosh, I bet he was captivating''

''It was like he was brought to earth for me, it's just like in the movies, your prince charming come to save you at the right time'' Charlotte said desperately

''It's like you're taking it a little bit too seriously right now, have you taken his number?''

''No, I didn't, I mean I was so inflexible, and my lips were frozen that I couldn't even speck properly (I was stuttering)''

''What! what about his name (don't tell me you don't know that too) Brianna mumbles

''No, I didn't ask his name''

''Seriously, oh no know how we are going to find him''

''At least if I knew his name, I would have treated him to lunch tomorrow afternoon as a way of thanking him for helping me

''Yeah, you could have even used that to start a friendship''

''But now it seems like all hopes are gone (does that mean I will never meet him again)'' Charlotte bursts into tears''

''Come on, don't be emotional, we'll come up with something

''What ideas do I have now, am in a state of bereavement right now''

''I think I've got an idea''

''Oo wow, that's great''

''Why don't you go there and see if he passes by''

''Yeah, I think that's a great idea. Tomorrow I'll go to the same spot where the incident occurred'' (I'll finally meet my love again)

''Umm, what incident happened''

''oh yeah, I was talking too much about my new crush that I even forgot about incident''

''Was it serious? Did you get hurt?'' Brianna asked concerned

''Oh my! I nearly died and I was so afraid. I withdrew the money from the bank, went to the grocery stall to buy some things then on my way I was trapped in the middle of muggers, they took the envelope that contain the money and some other posh things in the bag''

''So then how did he help you''

''He shooed the thieves away, but they had already taken the money, so he handed me an unknown sum of money in an envelope''

Charlotte takes the envelope out of her handbag and gives it to Brianna.

''You can use it for your mum's treatment''

''What about you''

''I withdraw the money for your mum''

''oh okay, thank you''

''No problem''

''So, I'll be heading out, catch you later''

''Sure''

Some few minutes later after charlotte left Mrs. Dorothy enters.

''Mom, she gave me some money for you''

''That's so kind of her to keep her word, how much is that''

Brianna opens the envelope and counts the money

''Its 3,400dollars, it will be able to pay the remaining bills and half payment of the checkup''

''I must call her and thank her''

''Sure, by now she is on her way home. Let's call her tomorrow morning''

It's already 6:00 in the evening, she waves her mom goodbye and heads to the club

She gets there on time and greets her colleagues

''Hello'' she greets her closest co worker

''Oh, Brianna you are here, you've saved me''

''Can you deliver the order on the counter for me; he's been a little impatient''

''Be rest assured''

''He's at the VIP lounge. Thanks sweetie''

She walks to the counter picks the ordered beverages and pasties and smartly walks to the VIP lounge

Mr. Leon was pacing impatiently for his order (he had been there for less than 30 minutes and has still not received his order)

As he was pacing Brianna was walking behind him thinking he would take a turn, suddenly turned around and his hand mistakenly pushed the tray in her hands making her fall backwards. He notices and pulls her forward and clutches her in his arms.

She raises her head whiles he bends his head down to see the beauty he helped. She stared at his bright black eyes whiles he steadily gazed at her nose bridge downwards to her mesmerizing red lips to her well-defined chin.
