LOST FOR WORDS.

Although she never came yesterday, I was sure that she wasn't going to pass by the stall any time this week. I wanted to believe, in fact I had written her move as a mind game strategy when the clock reached 7 and it was time to close the place without her showing up.

As I write this, she has just left the place after spending close to two hours with me trying to break down my resolve. She came in at exactly 4 pm and began regaling me with stories of how her recovery was uneventful and how Maxwell was such a gentleman.
"Susie, what exactly is it that you want?"
"Eish!, Stop being rude."

Wasn't Interested

Look who's talking about rudeness. Here she was trying to interfere with my work by telling me nonsense. I wasn't interested at all to know how she was doing nor was I willing to sit there and listen to bullshit about Maxwell being a gentleman or an asshole.
"Look, its' good to see that you are alive and I'm happy."
"Really?"

She left me lost for words

"You doubt it?"

She stopped for a while and looked at me. She had a lollipop which she sucked at it suggestively while she toyed with her weave that anyone would've mistaken it for natural hair. I could not tell what exactly was going through her mind at that moment, but I can tell you that it wasn't something good at all.
"Then buy for me some lunch."
That caught me by total surprise. Lunch at 4 PM? what was she smoking?

I couldn't participate anymore

"You aren't serious. Are you?"
"Yes. Let's go for lunch. There I'll tell you all you need to know about what really happened three weeks ago.'
"You already did."
'I was lying."
Damn this girl was so good at her mind games. But she would have to do more than that just to have me open up my wallet.
"Its already late."
"Did you know that Doris has already gone to school?"
Wait just a darn minute. Gone already? She had texted me this morning to get ready for tonight. Now she has left?
Susan left after seeing that I wasn't interested in that conversation anymore. I couldn't participate at all. Doris' drastic move had left me lost for words.
