STORY: I Met Jerry (2)

12 missed calls. . .and Jerry is still calling. I had refused to pick up his calls because I think I might fall in love with him. I have a high tendency of falling in love easily as well as falling out of love quickly. No, I'm not a love junkie. No.

Phone Calls

These are days when you can reach your loved ones via social media platforms such as BBM, Facebook, Twitter, Whatsap and the likes. These platforms make communication easier, faster and cheaper. Unfortunately, Jerry only has my phone number. So he depended solely on phone calls.

The last time Jerry called was only few hours ago. Like. . .

~ phone rings twice ~
~ Amaka picks up ~
Jerry: Hello dear
Amaka: Hey you
Jerry: How are you dear?
Amaka: I'm fine ooo
Jerry: Have you eaten?
Amaka: Yea
Jerry: What did you eat?
Amaka: Erm. . . bread and stew and fish
Jerry: That's okay. What are you doing now?
Amaka: Doing studio things. Trying to edit a jingle. What about you?
Jerry: Work. Work. Work. We are working on our launch project. It's been all work for me *sighs*
Amaka: Eeyah. . . but the koko is that you enjoy what you do na.
Jerry: True. I'm not complaining. All we need is God's grace. This is my purpose. My destiny. My life. I can't joke with it.
Amaka: Hmmmm. . .

I like that Jerry is purpose-driven.

He always talks about fulfilling his purpose and living-with-a-meaning-kinda-thing. Hearing him say those words gets me tripping.

Jerry had become my first caller every morning and last caller every night. We talked about our day and whatever we were working on.

~ phone rings again ~
It's Jerreasonable. 

I still wouldn't pick up. This guy should leave me alone biko. I shrugged.

~ phone beeps ~
Jerry sent me an SMS.

"Amaka, please can you pick up and tell me what's going on?"

. . .to be continued next week. >>>
