She was walking home from work. She loves to take that long walk because that's her only chance of an exercise plus she gets to see handsome dudes that could fancy her, after all, her work doesn't give her much time to socialize. Her social life was a mess!
Hello, Hey... She heard a voice behind her. She just passed by some local guys, so she figured it's one of them trying to be troublesome. The locals always try to get under her skin by calling out to her each time she passes by. She is trying to get the attention of a rich young dude, not a bunch of local illiterates. She kept wondering how these locals got into such a private high ranking neighbourhood, she figured that some of them are domestic workers of the rich in the neighbourhood, so they gather when their employers are at work to socialize and be a nuisance to young beautiful ladies like her.
I need a car, She thought. If I was driving, these idiots would have known that I'm not on their level...* She said under her breath.
Hello? The voice behind her was persistent and much more closer. She turned to see a red Toyota Camry driving slowly behind her, the car was quite old, compared to the ones she sees every day around the neighbourhood.
It's probably an Uber, should I keep walking or be nice, she thought.
Can I give you a ride? The voice said and this time the car was beside her so she could see the face of the driver. He was quite a handsome young man, dark-skinned, just like she likes her men. But why was he looking small in the car? She thought.
Please?? the driver said smiling, revealing a beautiful dentition. There, her heart melted, he had such a beautiful smile that can melt even the hardest of hearts. Soon, she smiled back.
There will be no need for that, my house is just by the corner. She replied, blushingly.
I insist, the driver said.
It's just here, you won't even have to drive for long, she replied.
Even if it's this house in front of me, I'll like to drop you off. He said, smiling more.
Fine, if you insist, she said as she got into the car.
My name is Moses, he said.
Hulu... My name is Hulu, she replied. Oh, my house is here, you can stop me...
So soon? Moses asked.
Yes, I told you my house is just by the corner. Hulu replied.
May I have your number so that I can call you sometime? Moses asked.
Sure. She replied and proceeded to call her number. She felt her phone ring in her bag, so checked and saw a strange number.
That's me calling. Moses said.
*Alright, I'll save it, Bye. She replied.
She came down from the car and walked to her gate, she could feel his eyes behind her so she turned and he waved and drove off. The gateman opened the gate and went in, she wanted to save the number, but she changed her mind. She never saves a new number unless they call her so often and she's sure they are a keeper. She has saved numbers in the past and they either never call at all or they never call after their first two conversations. So if her new contacts call more than four times, then she'll save their contacts.
Later that evening, a strange number started calling.
Hello? She picked.
Hi, it's me, Moses. the caller said.
Oh, Moses, How are you? She replied. This one seems serious, she thought.
So how did your day go, Have you had dinner? Moses asked
They talked for a long time, He was warm and cheerful. It felt like they've known themselves for a while. Hulu found herself rolling from one corner of her bed to the other, laughing loudly and talking. She felt so good talking to him, he was so easy and they clicked.
Oh my God, it's almost midnight! We've spoken for almost three hours. I have to sleep, I'm going to work tomorrow. Hulu said.
Oh, I wish this will never end. I enjoyed speaking with you. How about a date? I'm off work till next week. Moses said.
I'm working this weekend, but I'll be off on Monday. So, Monday? Hulu asked
Monday is fine. Good night. He replied.
Good night, Hulu said as she went off the phone.
A few minutes later, she heard her phone buzz. It was a text, Thank you for making my night beautiful, Moses... She blushed, he made her night too.
This one seems serious, she thought as she finally saves his number.
She slept off.....
