So like I mentioned I work as a Human Resource Manager and well my name is BimpeAjayi-and don’t even ask ‘cause I’m not telling you how old I am. Anyways, because my job entails managing people, I had to devise a ways to maintain a steady two-way communication with my staff (…trust me, emails and intranet don’t always work these day). I use instant messaging mobile apps a lot; any of the platforms that my staff members are active, I use it. Be it the Whatsapps, 2gos, BBMs, Wechatsand I must say Palmchat (…will tell you why in a moment). Continue...
Instant
messages are hard to resist (ladies you know now); once that beep comes in, you
just kind of pick up your phone and reply almost without
thinking. So my staff can’t resist infos
or notices etc I send across to them through these platforms. As for Palmchat, I developed a personal
attachment to the platform. Remember when I said I was stuck in traffic running
late to work and had a marathon presentation to make to my boss?
I drifted
mentally into a two-minute or so daydream; where I saw myself in the arms of my
new found love, Francis dancing to the slow rhythms being played by a high life
band at La Tropicana resort. He was
about kissing me; slowly closing in like on a Close Up TV commercial when…’honk,
honk’ the car behind me shattered my daydream and threw me right back into
reality. I am actually in a stupid traffic and heading late to work for a
presentation which I hope will go down well. I picked up my phone and spent
Francis a ‘Hi dear’ on Palmchat and of course he replied almost
instant with ‘sweetie I stuck in
traffic…bumper to bumper’
It is funny
how I so clicked with Francis, I met this sweet guy on Palmchat and sometimes
it feels impossible. I didn’t say it, but why I was running late to work that
Wednesday was because I spent such a good, good time with Francis the night
before (hey, not quite what you are thinking…not yet). It was close of work and
I wasn’t minding sitting out a little while before embracing my mattress, so I
chatted up Francis on Palmchatand
told him to meet me at Radisson Blue.
That was to be our second real meeting; you know, face to face not online. Our
first real date was at the Leisure Mall, Adeniran Ogunsanya
street Surulere and it wasn’t a bad
one except that, you know, I didn’t know what to expect and quite honestly,
stuffs were running through my mind like: ‘I
hope I am not making a stupid mistake leaving my house to meet some guy I don’t
know?.... I hope the mall is safe and nobody will be stalking me or something?
And I am buying my drink, no free drinks…thanks’. With all that going
through my mind, our conversation was kind of stale; it lacked energy and was
completely cautious but all the same, I could tell he was a sincere guy. Like
when he blushed (he has such cute dimples on his cheeks by the wayJ) and said that our meeting was his
first blind date, I could tell it was not only his first blind date but his
first date…and guess what happened next? (…seriously I can’t believe that I am
living my fantasy)

ReplyDeleteNot very captivating for a dating intro narrative. Please, don't bore me with this "I met Francis" anthem in the third part of your DAYDREAM. Anyways, I like that one can relate to the story (more like the girls' talk)..lol. Let it be a lil more intriguing...you may wanna smartly mess with our minds y'know. MB.C. DORIS
