Hey guys, happy new month! The best month of the year is here!! It’s my birth month y’all! still phoneless by the way. And guess how I started my month? With a cold! It came out of nowhere. I am struggling over here. My chest hurts from all that coughing but I am not letting a little cold get in the way of celebrating God’s grace of me seeing a new month especially my birthmonth. Anywho, enjoy the story and make sure to follow the blog and me on all social media platforms. Have a blessed October!

With a shake of the head, he strolled off towards his car.

On the drive home, she couldn’t believe she’d seen Jeff. It’s been a little more than a decade since she saw him. She had loved him dearly. She sacrificed so much to be with him and to help him achieve his dreams. She thought they’d be together for forever. That was a childish notion but she really thought there was hope. Then he went on and ruined it by being a cliché. She couldn’t really forget the day she’d tried to surprise him and got the surprise instead. It was a hot sunny day much like that very day and she figured she’d drop by and convince him to for a picnic near the lake. They could swim to cool themselves. He’d been so busy with practice and she thought it’d help him relax a bit. He seemed kind of tense each time they spoke. So, she borrowed her mom’s car and packed some food in the cooler and then off she went to Jeff’s house. She got there much more quickly than was normal but I guess the weather left people stuck in their homes where the air was cool or at the community pool or the lake. Either way, traffic was light. She saw his car in the driveway so she knew he was definitely home. And knowing him, the backdoor would be open so, she decided to sneak in using that entrance and scare him silly like they normally do to each other. So, she moved her car to the house next door and went around the back. It was open as expected and she stealthily walked in. Usually, he’d be stuck in front of the tv in the living room playing his games but downstairs was missing his usual foul language when he was playing. He’d be probably be knocked out by now which would make her plan much more interesting. She’d been to his so many times she knew which part of the stairs to avoid the creaking noises. As she neared the top of the sounds, she could hear noises of his creaking bed. And a very familiar voice.

She shook her head that it wasn’t possible. Her friend Judith was probably stuck in her parent’s diner working her butt off in this heat. She followed the sounds and her eyes may be deceiving her but there was said Judith riding her boyfriend, Jeff like a damn mechanical bull.

“OH MY GOD!!” someone screamed stopping the couple’s antics.

“Laura” Jeff gasped trying to push Judith off him making her realise that the scream came from her.

She couldn’t believe how cliché everything seemed. She wanted to surprise him and he did her one better. She run out of there as if the devil was at her heels. She got into the car and that was when she felt that her face was wet with tears. She saw him coming and she zoomed off.
