Chapter 2: Michael takes Jane home.

Michael left for a nearby boutique to get a dress for Jane as the old dress she wore was dirty. It was few minutes drive, Michael arrived at a boutique. He went to the attendant and asked for a fine dress for a slim lady.

“What’s her body size?” The boutique attendant asked

Michael didn't know Jane's size and didn't want to look stupid. He then decided to describe her as slim with a small waist and quite curvy. Moderate hips , and quite tall.

“Please call her to confirm her size, it will be difficult to give you a dress without knowing the actual size of the person”, the attendant replied.

He brought out his phone but it was that moment that he realised that he doesn’t have Jane’s number and he doesn’t know her size. He will look stupid if he allows the attendant know that he doesn’t even know the persons number.

Fortunately for him, someone walked into the boutique, quite beautiful, also tall and curvy with a very trimmed waist. She had almost same body structure with Jane. Michael walked up to her;

“Hello, please I know you don’t know me but I will like you to help me select a dress because the person has same body structure like you” Michael asked

“I’m sorry but you can call the person, if what she likes is a trouser, skirt, shirt, polo, gown or whatever.” The young lady replied

Michael answered that all that doesn’t matter, anything will be fine, he just need an exact size and taste. The young lady asked if the female friend was his girlfriend and to know the occasion for the dress as those were the criteria for her dress selection.

He made her know that just any dress would be fine as she’s just a friend who stayed at his place temporarily and was ready to go back home but her dress was dirty and would be needing another.

So the young lady selected a fine slippery and fitted gown. Michael thanked her and asked her to also pick one for herself

“Thank you but no need. I can afford a a dress for myself. She responded

“Please take exact same for yourself, the bill on me.” Michael insisted

“The young lady finally took one dress and was grateful to Michael. But with an admiration in her heart. His kindness carved a deep space in her heart and she starred at him.

They both had a little chat and exchange complimentary cards. Michael left the boutique and dashed home.

On getting home, he met his house looking very neat, plates washed, kitchen cleaned and the floor sparkling.

“In just few minutes that I’m out, you have given my house a sparkling touch” Michael said in admiration

“I just wanted to show my own way of appreciation for taking good care of a total stranger like me” Jane replied

“You don’t have to do all that before I know that you are grateful. I know you are and I can see it. Thanks anyway” Michael said

Michael handed over the dress to Jane. Jane was surprised, she didn't expect any gift from Michael especially seeing his financial status. She was deeply grateful.

Because the house was just a room self-contained, she had to go into the toilet to dress up. There was no makeup kit to use so she just styled her hair, powdered her face with the white powder that was in the toilet and she wore a shining lip gloss. She changed into the simple and cute gown that Michael bought and was ready go home..

"Damn!! You are fine” Michael exclaimed.

Jane was indeed looking extra cute, the gown was slippery on her, and it showed her curves. It was armless so her light skins with cute slippery hair were obvious. It was a short gown, thereby exposing her straight fair and slim legs. Her hair style also complimented her dressing. Jane was blessed with very long, dark and curly hair. It was so noticeable that while growing people admired her a lot for her hair and pink lips. Being an international model made her skin stand out.

Michael led her to his car. Although Jane was grateful for Michaels nice gesture and kindness, she was still very careful and unable to totally trust him.

Can I have your number please? Michael asked

Jane felt uneasy

“Please I will like our encounter to end here, there is no need for my number as I do not plan to see you again” Jane said

“Was I horrible to you, why are you so cold and hostile? I only asked for a number so that we can chat ones in a while as friends and nothing more.” Michael insisted.

Jane became calm and gave Michael her number but deep inside her she already concluded that they can no longer have any encounter. They got to the bus stop and Jane asked Michael to stop. Michael tried to convince her to allow him drop her at home but Jane refused and alighted at the bus stop to take a cab home.

Immediately, she came out of the car, there were gangsters who sighted her and they knew she was rich. They followed her, walked slowly at her back as she was standing and stole her purse. In a second, all she saw was the guys running. She shouted,

“Help! Help! My purse” she shouted. People could not do much. All they could do was to console her as they were already used to the environment.

People in the neighbourhood hold tight their belongings especially when they are in public places because of the bad boys around. But because Jane was a stranger, she was unaware of how the environment was.

She was dumbfounded,she couldn't imagine she had been robbed and people all acting as if it's a normal thing. She just stood helplessly at the bus stop in distress.

Are you alright? Did they hurt you?

She heard and suddenly turned back to see who it was. To her surprise, it was Michael.

She thought Michael had gone. She was glad she wasn't alone. She immediately turned and held Michael.

"I was in the next gas station when I heard the noise and saw the boys running, immediately, I suspected it could be you an came back to check. Are you hurt?”

“No I’m not hurt, they only took my bag containing my phone, my money and documents. Please take me away from here” Jane said

"Don’t worry I will take you home."Said Michael.
