Episode 13
Two hours later i was up and under the shower again. After
dat, i took my time selecting what to wear. I decided on a
black silk suite, a wine coloured turtle tee shirt and a pair of
shiny black italian shoes. Around my neck was a simple gold
chain holding a pendent designed with my initials, as i stood
b4 d mirror staring with approval at my reflection, a call came
through from the reception, the car sent to pick me by mike
has arrived, i spent few more seconds b4 d mirror, i was really
looking my best standing tall and straight at five feet ten
inches, there was no little or no trace on my face to show that
i was 28 years old rather i thought i look younger.I took a final
look at my reflection smiled at no one in particular and quickly
sprayed on Georgio Red men’s perfume, its sweet rich aroma
preceded me as i stepped out of the hotel suite,As i stepped
into the venue of Mike’s after wedding party. The party was
already in full blast standing in clusters, drinking, eating and
chating happily. quite a number of people noticed my arrival. It
