There's always a reason

I write because I need to, or because I am pissed, or because the earth is in motion. There's always a reason.

THE PRINCIPLE, HIS DAUGHTER, AND MY PAY DAY (PART 1)

When ever I see that beautiful round face and pink lips and wet hair, my heart - stops for a while, and I ask.

"Is your dad home ?"

She goes blank for a brief moment and I hear a voice.

"Come inside." Of her dad, my principle.

I visit his house once, every two months for my salary. I give him cash, he gives me
cheque, you know those transactions which are not really transactions. Who cares as long as I get a work certificate. This time I hadn't come to collect the cheque for four months.

I went in,sat at the table, ready to get assaulted, verbally.

"Why have you started missing payments again,"

"you are the only assistant I have who screws my accounts,"

"you know how risky it is these days, you know how irresponsible you are," he said very scathingly.

I wanted to kill him. I had already killed him several times, in my dreams. Some times I stab at the back of his neck with a dagger, sometimes I give him a sidekick and strangulate him from the back, sometimes I blow his rear end with a fire gun ALA VIN DIESEL.

I kill him, but always from behind for if I am to face him, I would scurry away in sheer fright, for he looks as close to a horror movie ghost that if the makers of "SAW" saw him they'll take him in their next movie.

"I am sorry sir." I said .

That is all I could come up with at that point in time. I experience a helpless silence sitting with him.

When I turned my head to the right, I saw her again, staring at me, our eyes met, suddenly she turned her eyes towards the window but stood at the same place making sure I had a clear view of her.

Girls know how to do this. You know you'd glance at them and as soon as you have an eye contact,hastily they'll look at the other side before you do the same, letting you stare at them. Because that's exactly what they want.

She, Then, moved towards the mirror, carefully arranged her hair, clipped it, when it was done, went inside the kitchen.
