STORY: I Met Jerry (3)

"Did anybody call you?" Bro. Ignatius asked me. "Somebody like who?" "One man came here on Tuesday to collect your number. I think he needs you to create a jingle for him because he mentioned it. So I gave it to him."

Magic and Wonder

Bro. Ignatius attended Bible study that week but I didn't. So it was during Sunday service that he told me about some man who came looking for me and asking for my number.

Who could it be? I had no idea who he might be.

I have started picking Jerry's call again because he just wouldn't give up. Am I that awesome and fun to be with? His persistence made an impression on me.

So Jerry and I fixed a meeting. Actually, it was a date. Our first date.

We went to an eatery not very far from home. We talked, laughed and made jest of each other. He told me how much he cares and how much he feels helpless about his feelings. He painfully tried to explain how he can't find the reasons behind his desire to have me in his life.

I wanted to tell him that the feeling was mutual but I didn't. I have my fears too.

He told me he went to my church hoping to find me there. He had really wanted to see me and to understand why I hadn't been picking up his calls. Oh! he was the one Bro. Ignatius talked about.

"When you don't pick my calls, it hurts me. I've never been this patient with any one before. When I want something from somebody, and I don't get it almost immediately. I lose interest completely. But with you. . . " He paused.

We kissed.

It just happened. And it felt like magic when we first kissed. I wanted more. I'm such a good bad girl.

We kissed again.

"Baby, you're a wonder." He said as he looked into my eyes while holding my chin.
"You. . . are. . . magic." I whispered.

We sat there wondering about what we had done and going to do next. Or perhaps I was the only one thinking I have committed a sin by kissing!

He held out my hands, looked into my eyes and spoke in the calmest voice ever. He told me he needs me to be his soul-mate. To help his ministry. To walk with him on the journey to fulfilling purpose. Jerry made the commitment to love and cherish my heart.

So here I am giving love a chance. Now he calls me Wonder and I call him Magic.

You think I'm a bad girl now, shey? *covers face* Maybe we should just end the story here already. I might be blog-shy about the succeeding chapters. This story is turning into hmmmm. . .
