Pretend For Me

I can't believe its 1st November already, just few days to December, and then this year is over , Just like that!! Linda thought as she walked down the market lane, she looked at her left side and saw a couple nudging their young one into the car, and she signed and muttered, ' and I'm still single, what am I going to tell my parents this Christmas again? I made them believe I will be coming home with my husband, I don't even have a boyfrie..

Hey watch it !!!

Opps, am so sorry please, I wasn't looking " Linda apologized to the young man she stumbled on

Its alright, its the end of the year and alot of people have a lot on their minds, the young man replied and smiled.

Linda looked up at him and was wowed to see the colour of his eyes, deep sea blueish.

Its not the kind of eye colour you see in Africa, talk more of in Nigeria

Oh yeah, I know, its hereditary actually, my mom is from the States

Linda blushed in embarrassment, she couldn't believe she actually said that out loud,

My name is Chris by the way, the guy said extending his hand for a handshake

Sorry, but I don't shake strangers, but my name is Linda

Ohh, the man said with a little air of disappointment but brightened up immediately and added' you have a beautiful name, sorry but do you mind if I get your number?

I would really like us to meet again and talk

About what exactly? Linda asked sharply

Woow, calm down OK? Let's just get to know each other, that's all, maybe you could actually tell me what you were thinking of that made you bump into me a while ago
