A BLESSED DAY
I went to bed contemplating my life; in just a few weeks, I will turn twenty-eight, and I have accomplished nothing, I thought to myself with a sorrowful sigh.
Everything is wrong in my life, and my romantic relationship is even worse.
I turned and turned on the bed, angry with myself, hoping that my twenty-eighth birthday would bring an end to the misery in my life.
I was startled out of sleep when my alarm went off because I knew my sister would be upset. I hastily turned off the loud alarm clock.
I put on my glasses and wait for my sister's usual ranting because I'm sure she would be unhappy and pissed off already. Well, I was right; she turned on her side of the bed and glare at me in anger ready to throw insulting words at me as usual
“You don't have to disturb the whole community with that thing before you get ready for work” she snapped at me and I stood up ignoring her.
I went to the bathroom, followed my daily routine of washing my hair and clean the toilet before getting dressed in my usual baggy clothes, picked up my bag and put my glasses back on.
I came downstairs and the table is already set for breakfast, Mum always made it her duty to make breakfast for everyone every morning without asking for help.
Let me quickly introduce myself, my name is Rhoda Brown, I am the first child of Mr. Morris and Mrs. Judith Brown with two sibling, Sarah and Damian.
I am a nerd, an introvert and physically ugly, I receive a lot of attention from my parent because of my physical state which becomes one of the reasons my immediate sister hates me and she never fail to tell it to my face reminding me about how ugly I look
Coupled with the fact that her marriage with her long time boyfriend, Smart is being delayed because I am yet to get a spouse, she takes out her anger on me anytime she has the chance…
I had a quick breakfast of sandwich and a glass of milkshake, pecked mum on the cheek and hastened to meet up with dad so I can get a ride with him to work.
I got to the building where I work as an attendant and rushed down the stairs after finding out that the elevator is down, in an hurry to get the door, I bumped into someone and my bag fell to the ground.
I lifted up my head and my eyes met with his dazzling and beautiful eyes, the annoyed look on his face after bumping into her seems to make him more attractive and I couldn't help but stare at him dazed.
"Hmm" he cleared his throat obviously embarrassed by my ogling and I quickly stood up to apologize but he beats me to it and mouthed a sorry in a calm and deep voice, I stared done at him plump pink lips and noticed that his beautiful blue eyes are still staring at me.
"Will you get your butt here?" The manager of the library tells at me as she approaches us and that jolt me back from the fantasy world i already created in my head.
"I am so sorry" I also apologized to him and pick my stuffs from the floor then hurried through the stairs inside the library.
My only friend and best girl, Leah walks up to me and inform me on the mountain of work pending for us. I quickly changed into my vest and get to work.

Work was really hectic that day because we have to arrange the new books on the shelves and some people need to borrow and also return books.
Despite being the receptionist, I sometime help in the main library if the workload is too much and today is not an exception
During our lunch break, we head to the office cafeteria and order our usual.
"There's a new manager in the library" Leah spoke after a while
"His name is Jake Smith, a handsome man in his thirties, he's the dream man of all ladies here, I'm sure you will like him" she said her eyes beaming with excitement.
Leah and I did practically everything together from high school until now, we became seatmate after our sitting was arranged based on our grades and end up becoming best of friends since then but Leah is a total man lover.
