TEMI Season 2 Episode 2 All About True Love

TEMI Season 2 Episode 2

Written by Anthony Temiloluwa Kenny (Saintkenz)

Though it was boxing day already, the atmosphere still smelt the yuletide of the previous Christmas day. Everywhere was was spuming with merrymaking as families were enjoying the luscious picnics and lovers too were not left out. Some lovers decided to have their outdoor fun by going for lunch at prestigious but affordable eateries hanging around.

Sweet Sensation Ibara Abeokuta was not left out of the eateries that recieved a steepish patronage that day from customers who are so famished to consume all it delicasies and customers who just came to have fun.

Mirabel had waited for close to 30mins for his date to show up. But still she wasn’t bothered. If waiting for eternity would make her see Temi, then she was ready to wait for forever.

Sitting alone for such a long period of time in an eatery had been onerous, especially for a pretty girl like her. Horde of guys who are willing to feed their lustful taste had swirled accross her table to chit-chat with her, hoping to get her number at the end of the day as take away of boxing day.

But all of them didn’t just match his dream guy, Temi is the only guy her heart longed for. Today will be ths second time he will setting her eyes on him. He remembered the first they met.

She had decided to go shopping with her two friends, and while they were adding their wish list. She saw him walked into the store and immediately she swore she swooned at his chasis shooting out from the white top he was puting on. His cologne too was not helping matters, as it instantly swashed every nook of the store.

Mirabel was still conked in absurdity when she felt a light swab on her shoulder which made her turn and behold he was standing behind her was him.

“Sorry miss, can i buy your next 20 secs”? He said with a truckled smile. To say she was overjoyed was an understatement, but all the same, she tried hard to keep her overemotional state in check.

” Buying my 20 secs will cost a huge some of rands” she replied

“Aiit ma’am. I’m willing to pay” he nodded.

“So fine we are good to go” Mirabel chipped in before escusing herself from her friends who had stood watching the whole flick.

“Anyways i’am sorry i ma’m for the inconveniences. I just wana pass a comment about you”

“Ohh really ? Go ahead” Mirabel muttered

“You are extremely beautiful and you look like my next girlfriend” He fawned out making her thrilled in excitment.

“Thank you” she whispered.

“I am Temi by name and you ?”

“Mirabel”

They exchanged numbers at the spot and since then they started to to talk to each other on phone. But unfortunately, things didnt turf out the way Mirabel presumed. She had expected Temi to ask for a date in which she would readily grant, but Temi didn’t. Not long after, she noticed dullness had crept in their communication, and most times she would have to call a hundered times before Temi could pick one.

Even when he picked, relunctance and bluntness always ate up the their coversations. Temi had always been relunctance to talk to her. Every opportunity to bring up a nice talk was shun by his monosyllabic replies. It was after she couldn’t hold the taciturn between them anylonger she decided to brave out and asked for a date herself. At least to relish in his handsomeness once again and aske while he had remained uncommunicative since their first meet.

She had asked to meet yestyday, but Temi had politely refused Dec 25, saying he had an assignment that day, but promised to show up the 2nd day which was boxing day.

Mirabel heaved a massive sigh as she checked her golden wristwatch the umpteenth time. She had spent more than 5 hours waiting for him again, yet he hadn’t showed up. Well, if waiting forever would make her see him today, she would. She would tell him all what was on her mind since that afternoon they met. She would tell him she didnt mean to fall inlove but she already did. She would tell him she was already inlove with him.

“I am already inlove with you Temi” Mirabel had a surd to herself, while taking a sip of her flavoured juice.

“Goodday Miss Mirabel.” A voice boomed out from her behind. The voice sounded familiar to her but still couldn’t decipher it. Probably it was her charming prince who owned the voice, she smiled little and quickly snapped back to a contorted face. She had to beg her for making her wait that long.

“Mtcheeeeeeeeew” she sizzed out like an angry snake when she saw who the person was. It was Inspector Lance her childhood friend ..

Temi bit his lips as he watched how lonely Mirabel was. He had parked his Range sport at a strategic corner where he could easily monitor her. He saw how host of guys paraded her table and how she had waved them off. How she took glances at her wrist watch countless of times. He wished he could walk up to her and save the moment, but just didn’t want.

His 7 years training as an exterminator had taught him not to fall inlove for anybody. His foster father too had given him a stern warning concerning that. And he also had decided to kill any emotion he developed in the past. But this Mirabel girl, he had failed woefully. It was love at first sight. He couldn’t hold it, and that was the reason he made a move to collect her number. He knew he was doing the wrong thing, but just couldn’t stop himself. For all the 10years he spent in U.S.A, he had never been head over heels inlove with anyone. But right now, had fallen for Mirabel.

The man who fostered him up had called him to implant the same warning, that he must not fall for anybody till he complete his mission. He made him know love was just an obstacle and even added a threat that he would make sure he kills anybody that would serve as obstacle to fullfil all what he set to finish.

Reason why he had delebrately dodged Mirabel, and ignored his call most times. He cried whenever his phone alerted her call but didnt pick up. He didn’t want her to die. He father could be so brutal to the point of not thinking it twice to pull a trigger on her head.

Even while he stayed stealtly in his car now, watching how tons of guys swarm across her, his heart bled. He didn’t want to loose this kind of girl. Mirabel was epitome of beauty, the kind of girl his heart longed for. “Ohh Mirabel. I love you, but i can’t be with you” Temi breath out.

“Because i don’t want you to die now”

He was sure if Mirabel slipped away from him, then his heart would cry for ever.
