“Hey, Meg! Over here!” Megara turned around. Adam was sitting at a meza, jedwali nearby. She walked over and pulled up a seat.
“So how’ve wewe been Meg?” he alisema offering her a grape.
“Adam we spoke this morning, don’t act like we haven’t spoke in weeks. But if wewe must know cinderella is back.”
“Cinderella? Like Cindy Clothe, that Cinderella?”
“No the other Cinderella, who do wewe think?” Meg laughed.
“Anyway, what brings her here?” he alisema chewing on his grape.
“I don’t know I didn’t stay long enough to find out”
“Meg, wewe don’t suppose shes here because-“
“No she wouldn’t be, would she?”
“Well I don’t know but what if she is?”
“I should’ve known, I mean it is Cindy we’re talking about here” the two stopped and though for a minute.
“I doubt she is” Adam alisema hoping Megara would forget he alisema anything about it.
“Yeah, you’re right. I shouldn’t worry about it.” She alisema taking another grape.

“Hey guys what can I get you?” alisema Naveen.
“Well I’ll get the ‘Greek Goddess’ and Adam what are wewe having?” alisema Megara.
“I’ll just have the maembe, embe thanks Naveen.”
“Sure, your smoothies will be over soon.” Naveen smiled. Megara looked at Naveen. He did have a rather handsome smile, she thought to herself, why would Cindy leave that?
“Oh, I almost forgot” Adam pulled a present out of his bag. “This for you.” He handed the gift to her.
“Oh Adam, wewe didn’t have to do that.”
“Yeah but I wanted too.” Megara opened it up. Inside were a pair of gorgeous strap sandals from Forever B.C.
“Do wewe like them?” he asked worried.
“I upendo them, thank you” She leant over the meza, jedwali and gave him a hug.
“Sorry upendo birds, hope I’m not interrupting anything” Naveen joked. Megara looked up. “Here are your smoothies.”
“Thanks Naveen” she alisema blushing. Adam released her and took his smoothie.
“Anything for my inayopendelewa soon-to-be couple”
“We’re just friends” Adam smiled.
“Really? Say Meg, are they new sandals?”
“Friends buy each other gifts” she replied.
“Yeah but not a $200 pair of shoes”
“Well since wewe brought it up did wewe know your ex-girlfriends in town?” Adam asked.
“It’s really none of my business what wewe buy each other.” Naveen alisema nervously. Megara and Adam looked at each other and then at Naveen.
“You don’t want us to tell her you’re here do you?” she grinned.
“No I do not”
“Your secret is salama with us” Adam alisema calmly, his voice sending chills done her spine. I don’t know what they mean when they say ‘He’s got a temper’, he’s so kind and loving. I’ve never seen him angry Meg thought whilst staring into space.
“Meg, Megara, Meg!” Adam clicked his fingers.
“Sorry, what did wewe say?” she quickly came back to reality.
“I was just saying that if wewe wanted to, maybe we could actually start, well wewe know.”
“No, what?”
“Dating” he alisema blushing. Megara could tell he was nervous.
“Sure” she alisema taking his hand. The two got up and started to walk towards the other side of the mall.
“Wait!” Megara quickly ran back.
“Sorry Naveen.” She gave him the money and ran back to Adam and held his hand again.
“I forgot to pay for my smoothie” she alisema smiling awkwardly.
“Come here you” he put his arm over her shoulder and held her close. She lent onto his chest. She felt his warmth spread through his body and soon into hers. He bowed his head down and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
