Valentines Day

He told me he was coming to my place at 10.30 p.m. I glance at my mobile to check the time. It was already 15 minutes past the agreed time. I wondered if he was really coming. I wanted to give him a ring, check where he was, but i used every inch of self control I possessed not to touch my mobile. I lay my weary head on my pillows and soon fell asleep.

The phone rings. With a start I realised that I had been asleep for an hour.

"Hello? I'm in the city. Be at your place in ten minutes", says that voice at the other end.

Finally, I thought to myself. "Sure", I replied.

I see him walk up my very dark driveway. I smile. I see another person with him. I continue smiling, but they couldn't even really see me in the dark.

"Mindy?" one of them says.

"Yeap", I reply. "Come on in"

"Wah, so big lah", the guy in the green shirt and pink crocs says. And then he's on the phone telling someone where my house is.

"I'll go out and wait for them", the other guy says.

As I wondered who they were referring to, three other guys turned up at my door. Wahh... Call one, get five! Not at all bad a deal. Very nice.

"So how do you want to do it?" says one of them. I jolt back to reality.

"Let's just pull it out, slide it to the door, change position, and then lift it up to the trailer", says another.

They were here to help me shift my fridge. And two matteresses and two tables. Think wat..I got five dates meh? Yes people, I spent my Valentines Day shifting and cleaning. And I spent the day after Valentines doing the same thing. So romantic right.... But thank God for the wonderful guys who helped me shift. Don't know what I would have done without them.
