“What baffles me the most is that, you’re the only male friend who didn’t run away from me, aren’t you scared?”.
Paulina blushed, followed by a sensation of laugher, creating an ambiguous look on Daniel’s face.
“Why should I run away from an angel like you?” Daniel retorted, while frowning his face, not expecting a reply.
“And we’re more like lovers “. Daniel resumes, trying to be more precise.
“Lovers, you must be kidding me, love nah big scam”. Paulina resumes her mild laughs, while shooking her head at what Daniel said earlier.
Daniel confessed his fake feelings of love to her, “am ready to marry you and take full responsibility as a humble husband, as soon as am done studying”.
Paulina refused promptly, stating it’s too early to think about marriage yet, because she barely know him.
Daniel got stung by her rejection for such proposal as he desperately sought to fulfill his playboy game.
However, Paulina only saw Daniel has a friend with benefits, and expressed her desire for both of them to remain best friends, because she’s once a victim of such fake promises.
After all the expensive gifts he had bought for her, he won’t let his money go for free, as everything comes with a price.
Daniel pretended he wasn’t bothered for turning down his request.
“Playboys don’t give up” he thought, while grinning to himself sternly.
One faithful day, daniel was on his way to Paulina’s house as usual, holding a black nylon with wine has its content.
Passing through the market square, he came across an intimidating old looking wretched woman who should be in her late eighties, with spell potions in mysterious bottles, displayed on her exhibition table.
The old woman announced her spell Casting black and magical potions all in one bottle.
To satisfy his curiosity, he stopped at her table, then asked curiously if she had something that could make a woman fall head over heels in love with a man, while smiling
The old woman crackled like a witch, and told him that she had the perfect solution for him.
She held up a small bottle with a heart emblazoned on the glass.
A red heart was designed on the syrup like liquid bottle. She told him that it was a love potion.
“Mad ooh, maybe I will try it on Paulina”. Daniel said as he eagerly took the bottle and paid her for it.
Keeping the potion inside the nylon with adequate care, in between the wine he had bought on his way to Paulina’s abode earlier.
As he was about to take his leave, the old woman warned him to only put a single droplet of the potion, otherwise there would be a repercussion.
“Otherwise!”., she said, he might regret it ….
