Bianca:”Hey chica!”
Zola thinking: I am so embarrassed. That was so unprofessional.
Bianca thinking: She looks disturbed.
Bianca:”Zola!”
Zola:”Yes! Oh hello Bianca.”
Zola:”I forgot you were coming by with lunch today, I almost ordered delivery.”
A couple minutes later they settle on the couch with their healthy lunches deep in conversation.
Bianca:”Tell me what’s the matter Z. When I came in you were completely zoned out.” Zola:”Kent Lowe is what happened.”
Bianca:”You’re joking.” Zola:”I’m not joking. He was in this office a few minutes ago. Sophie hired him.”
Bianca:”I see why you are so out of sorts. Your first will always have a hold over you.” Zola:”Hmph! My first, who left me at the altar never to be seen again.”
Zola:”Bianca I honestly got him out of my head. Damn it’s been nearly 15 years!”
Zola:”I had put my life back together, I had really moved on, but the second he steps in here my body turns to jelly and I can’t stop shaking. I made a fool of myself.”
Bianca:”Zola I’m sure you didn’t make a fool of your self. No matter the situation you are always fully in control.” Zola:”Bianca you had to be there.”
Zola:”I just thought I was over him, but apparently I’m not.” Bianca:”Hmmmm…”
Bianca:”Zola I’m sorry but I have to say this. You haven’t been with anyone since Kent. I’m not surprised if you aren’t truly over him.”
Zola:”Bianca thanks for your honesty. It’s the reason we have been best friends like forever.”
Bianca:”So true, and I know you’ll figure it out cause you’re the smart one.” Zola:”Smart? Yes Ms. orthopedic surgeon.”
Zola:”So how is your new boy-” Bianca:”STOP! We are not talking about him.”
Zola:”Bianca wait I’m not quite finished.” Bianca:”It’s time for me to get to the hospital for my shift. Can’t leave your office in a mess.”
Zola:”Bianca tell me what happened.”
Bianca:”He left me for a NURSE! Zola:”Oh I am so sorry.”
Zola thinking:Poor Bianca and her poor choice in men. Bianca:”Zola sorry for snapping at you. I’m not ready to rehash the details of last night.” Zola:”Don’t worry it’s ok. I’ll call you later to plan the dinner for Saturday.”
Zola thinking: Can’t wait for a nice homemade smoothie.
A few minutes later…
Ashley:”Here are the documents for Ms. Fernando.”
Zola:”Thanks.”
Zola thinking: Looks like everything is here.
Minutes after seven Zola finally gets home and kicks into her usual routine of rest and relaxation after a tiring day at work. Moving around on auto pilot, she is able to maneuver around the dark apartment without hesitation and heads straight for the shower after depositing her bag and folder.
Zola:”Hey Sophie, I was expecting your call.”
Half an hour later refreshed and in the kitchen preparing a smoothie, Zola answers a call on her cell.
Zola:”Ok so all the models are set to leave tomorrow?”
Zola:”Sounds good. You’re coming by now? Alright, yes yes I’ll be here.”
Zola:”What did you just say? This connection is bad. Kent? What are you saying about Kent?”
Zola:”You said Kent is coming with you?”
Zola:”Yeah I guess it’s ok… How far away are you?” Zola thinking: Oh crap! Kent is coming to my apartment.
Totally distracted by the news about Kent coming over, Zola forgets to put on the lid on the blender before hitting “BLEND”.
Zola:”Ahhh!!”
Aaah! Nice episode. Love your ending. What did you use for the splatters?
Hi Leonella!! So happy you enjoyed it. The splatters I made with glue and a touch of acrylic paint. My inspiration came from a My FroggyStuff episode on YOutube about making syrup for waffles. Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm9FxeFBbGU.
That’s funny. When I saw her hand near the blender, I was thinking, “the lid isn’t on it.” Sure enough, there went the issue.
Thanks Jaye!! You got a keen eye!!! I was hoping my readers would either notice the cover on the counter or see the blender was left open. Poor Zola’s mind was consumed with her old flame she completely lost focus. 🙂
Hooray for the return of your photo stories. You are back with a vengeance – suspense, drama and the crisp, clear pictures are marvelous. Thank you.
It’s my pleasure to share the joy of this hobby with others. Thanks so much it means the world to me!!!
Aaaaaw!not fair! Can I just hate on you – you have managed to get me hooked in the space of three episodes! Now I cant wait for the next installment. I love it, more strength and energy to you.
Oh wow Naomi, that’s such a boost to my writing skills which I feel have lots of room for improvement. Thanks so much for your compliment!!!
The kitchen looks great! I always love your attention to detail. I missed the lid not being on the blender. I was so enthralled in Zola and her conversation with Sophie about Kent coming to visit. I can’t wait for the next episode. Please hurry. 🙂
Thanks ever so much Vickey!! Happy to hear you enjoyed that last episode. Much more is in store, so stay tuned. 🙂
