Richard held the break as fast as he could,he gasped in breath when he succeded in putting the car to an halt before it hit the lady. He came down from the car to meet Tare who was unable to move due to the fear of been hit by a vehicle.
Richard was able to hold her before she stumbled on the ground.
she placed her head on his chest for some minute before withdrawing when she had gained consciousness
How dare you? you almost hit me.
Am sorry, please it wasn’t intentional. Richard said apologetically.
it wasn’t intentional?what if I had died,is that what you would have said.
Please calm down,are you hurt in any way? let me take you to the hospital.
To hell with you, if you are looking for who to take to hospital,take your sisters instead.Tare fummed angrily
A small crowd had already gathered asking what had happened, Richard explained and apologised.
Tare moved away from the crowd when she noticed all eyes where on her.

Angela broke the kiss,honey you should know Tare is here.
Tare am sorry,I was taken away by my wife’s beauty. .hope you didn’t feel to uncomfortable.
No sir,she gave him a shy smile.

Unable to hid her happiness she knelt down and thanked him.

Tare placed her phone on her chest,smilling at no one in particular, she couldn’t believe she owned the phone.For someone who had never had even the cheapest mobile phone,so my going to business centre to make call is over she said to herself.She just couldn’t wait for an hour, she needed to talk to her mum.she hadn’t contacted them at home for a while since she had no kobo.She placed her phone on the other side of the bed as her mind drifted to the cute guy that almost hit her.
Was she too harsh on him? no i wasn’t she said rebuking the voice telling her she had been harsh earlier.
come to think of it,am the first child of my parents and the only hope to train my younger ones,that guy would have sent me to an early grave because of his carelessness.
God forbid, tufiaka that’s not my portion. Her anger soon melted into a smile when she recalled the moment her head was on his chest.
A www..that was awesome she said to herself,she felt an electric pass through her body.
She had never felt that way before,maybe because it was my first time placing my head on ä guy’s chest. She took her books to read in an attempt to forget Richard.
