Meant to Be

why do i feel like this?

“You….” I said looking around us to see if anyone else was there.

“Hello to you too,” he said to me as I raised my eyebrows,

“Myra?” I heard Tasha call my name coming to where we were.

“Myra, I have….” She wanted to say but stopped midway looking at the man who was with me.

“I didn’t know you were with someone; I will let you be,” she said wanting to walk away but I pulled her back to me

“Tasha, I want you to meet…,” I said turning around to look at him, I didn’t even get his name.

“Calvin, am a friend of Myra!” He said extending his hand to introduce himself

“wow nice to meet you, I didn’t know she had other friends apart from me” Tasha said making me look at her with the ‘what the f**k look'

“Really?  Then she must be keeping secrets” Calvin said to Tasha who chuckled softly looking at both me and Calvin 

“You know what?  I will let you two continue with your conversation.  Let me go pay for these” Tasha said putting to the pay point before I could even respond she had already left going to pay.

“Are you not going to pay for that?” He asked pointing to the dress I was holding onto,

“, No….  I wasn’t going to buy it!” I said placing it back on the rack, he stood there watching me and it made me feel uncomfortable the way he was looking at me.

“There!” I said before turning to him and he was still looking at me from head to toe, I was so uncomfortable but didn’t have the courage to tell him that I was uncomfortable.

“Uh…. It was nice to meet you but I should get going” I said looking around to see where Tasha had disappeared to.

“Can we meet again?” He asked me making me bring my attention to him

“Of course, maybe next time we meet we can exchange numbers,” I said to him and he raised his eyebrows

“See you around!” I said turning around and rushed out of the shop going to Tasha who was waiting outside for me

“Traitor.” I said after I found her laughing, “How is giving two people space being a traitor? I mean I gave you time for you two to chat” She said, it sounded more like she was mocking me. I looked at her rolling my eyes as we went to the hairdresser.

She opened the door to the room and I followed her behind as she went to sit in the couch waiting for her. “Myra, why don’t you straighten your hair as well>?  Put some nice makeup?” She suggested but I shook my head not believing what she was saying I always believed that I looked beautiful in my hair and makeup. I had frizzy hair that I usually let it be like that without doing anything to it/

“C’mon you don’t expect terry to Notice you while looking like that?’ She said but I just ignored her rolling my eyes, yes Terry has been my crush but I couldn’t help thinking of Calvin if at all that’s his real last name.

When she was done, we went back to her house changing into something formal for the party, “Are you going to wear that?” Tasha asked me seeing that the dress was only covering my butt cheeks and it was a sleeveless one

“Of course, why not?” I asked her acting surprised.

“Myra C’mon, you really can’t wear that we are not going to a club… Why don’t you try one of those dresses I bought?” She suggested to me but I was not for the idea, I always want to make myself noticed and I enjoyed being the centre of attention from all the men.

“I think I am fine like this!” I said checking myself in the mirror as I fixed my dress and makeup

“Yeah right!” She said but I could hear from her tone of voice that she was not happy with my outfit

“Okay fine! Give me your dress” I said to her handing her my hand.

“You will look nice in this dress,” She said rushing to pick the dress and handing it to me, she gave me and I went to change it in the bathroom.

I changed into her dress and came out feeling uncomfortable, I looked at her rolling my eyes as she came close. “Wow!” Tasha said to me I scoffed as I looked away, I wore a One Shoulder Ruched Design black Bodycon Dress

“What you look beautiful?” She said as I fixed myself

“Well, if Terry doesn’t notice me, I will make sure I tear this dress apart,” I said making her open her mouth to say something but quickly closed it because she knew I was serious.

“Now let’s go!” I said to her as I opened the door going to the living room

We arrived at the house where the party was taking place, I took a glass of wine from the waiter as I looked around if I could see terry. “I will see you, let me talk to father first,” Tasha said leaving me alone as I continued looking for terry

“Looking for me?” I heard that husky voice again from earlier today, I swallowed hard as I looked at him.

He looked at me his green eyes so bright and beckoning, I didn’t understand what was he doing here?  Why would he want to be where I am?  I asked myself those questions as I looked in his eyes, why do I feel like this whenever his close? I mean I just met him a couple of times
