I sat at my seat , wondering how can this be possible. " My boss ? Really ! Thoughts crossed my mind .
" He is so handsome",
"He looks like an idol",
" I wish he would talk to me and be my boyfriend ",
I could hear it all from my fellow colleagues.Maxky was one of a kind soul ,His features made everyone mesmerized...., even I was carried away by his beauty , actually I had already fallen for him.
My fantasies were cut short by my puppy ringtone , " who on earth could call me at this time of the moment , can't they at least give me a few minutes to finish my beautiful fantasy " ,
It was Johnny , my childhood friend , actually my first boy to kiss , the one who made me realize my likes ,made me know how it feels to kiss someone.
Johnny's parents Mr and Mrs Walter move in to my neighborhood when I was eight years old, later on Johnny transferred to the school I studied at , grade two .
He was a quiet boy , always reading his books with his face bent down, shy and avoided eye contact ,never spoke with anyone unless you spoke to him first, Even so he would say very little, we could say he was a nerd.
At grade four , I was playing with my puppy doll at the backyard, I tripped and fell , I gave out a lound scream that could awake the dead . Johnny happened to be reading his books at their backyard. He came towards me upon hearing hearing the sound.
My knees were bleeding profusely , and yes I had always being the clumsy one even at my early age.He dressed my wound with his handkerchief .
I cried so loudly, he wiped my tears , barely said anything to me , After a very long weird silence he left ,I guessed he could annoyed and couldn't stand my childish cry.
In the evening after my parents came back from work , they bought me an ice cream.I ran as fast as my leg could to the next house carrying the ice cream. I was going to gift my new friend who helped me when I was in need , this would serve as a token of gratitude.
At least I could sieze the situation and make a friend out of it.
I rang the doorbell and Johnny's mother came to answer.
" Hello, how can I help you child", asked Johnny's mother. " Am looking for johnny ", I answered with fearful voice. I entered and sat at the couch. Johnny's mother went upstairs to call him.
I looked around the house , it was filled with beautiful decorations , there were picture of Johnny hanged at the wall when he was a baby.He was such a cute baby .
He came downstairs from his room , he was shocked to see me. " My parents bought me this ice cream , I want to give it to you as a thank you gift for helping me earlier ", I told him.
Johnny got all shy , held his neck , looking down ," no need for a gift I just helped where I could," he said.
My stubbornness couldn't not take no for an answer, I placed the ice cream on his lap with a big smile on my face. For the first time Johnny looked at my eyes, he nodded and held the ice cream.
I stood , waved bye and he waved back , and hurriedly returned home.
At night I rolled back and forth on my bed , I couldn't imagine that I have made a new friend.
The next morning I prepared myself for school , grabbed my lunch box , went to Johnny's place so that we could walk to school together.
That's how we became friends.
They say puberty hits hard.
At grade twelve I was already a full grown man .My small chest and shoulders had already broaden , voice deepen , I could tell the meaning of love.
One day as we were doing our evening chores of cleaning the laboratory rooms , it was only Me and Johnny left do finish our task. He asked me if I was okay, after reading the novel he recommended me to read , It was about two guys falling in love.
Before I could answer him , he leaned towards me and gave me a warm passionate kiss ,,, yes my first kiss , with a boy , I couldn't help myself ,my face turned all red .
" Are you okay with this too" ,he whispered in my ears. I answered with a low shaky voice, "am okay " ,
He went forward and told me he likes me ever since we were kids.
I picked up my phone.
"Hello Ristu , its being long since we saw each other, how are you doing , I called to tell you am coming back from abroad at the end of the month , I want to talk to you, I have a lot to tell you " , said Johnny.
" Hello , Johnny", I answered, before I could alter another word , a deep familiar voice on the other side of my ears whispered, " who the heck is Johnny?"
I dropped my phone out of shock , my body was shaking hard , upon looking up it was Maxky , my new boss ,the man I have crazily fallen for.
