My braids took forever because I got home at almost 10pm. Aya was almost half asleep.  I just had a shower and went to sleep.

Sunday was uneventful. Aya and I went to church but Keziah and her family didn't show up at all.  I called them after church.  They sounded all right. Keziah said she was fine and all was well so Aya and I just went home to nap. Aya left later to go see someone whilst I just stayed at home.

Monday was stressful but it felt better once I got home to see Aya. How I wished she didn't have to go home when Mummy got back. I enjoyed having her around. It didn't feel lonely and boring with Aya around. We talked deep into the night about everything. Guys, family;  all our sisters and their husbands and kids. Aya fell asleep before 10pm. I lay there watching Al Jazeera.  I had not heard from Claude since he got to Mumbai. Hope he was okay. Thought he checked up on me every day whilst he was in town. Or perhaps tried to though I had not been so receptive.  Wow. Was I missing him. If he had not travelled,  he would have texted or called me and even if I didn't reply he  would  still text back.

I tried dismissing thoughts of him from my mind but no. I picked my phone to check it and went through my whatsapp messages.  Sally was asking the girls out on Friday night to Marbles.  Daffline had texted and sent lots of photos of the twins. I loved them. Talk of a pleasantsurprise....there was a text from Claude.  He did get in touch afterall. Well he had said he would but I didn't think he would.

I opened it to read. 'Hi beautiful.  How are you?  Just to let you know I arrived safely but I miss you.'  I smiled at his text. He wasn't online. He had sent the text thirty two minutes ago. So I just texted back . 'I'm well, thanks and you? Lol. Good to know. Miss you too. ' Just then Claude came online and began typing. 'Good to hear from you. I'm fine, thanks for asking. How was your day? ' 'My day was stressful but quite fruitful.'
'  How's your conference going? I like that. Very well. I'll call you tomorrow around this time. Is that okay? I want to see your face. '

'Okay...'  I texted back. I would love a foot massage right now. My feet felt sore. I guess it was the effect of the super tight nude stilettos I wore today. I had never worn it since I got it. I had completely forgotten about it till my eyes fell on it this morning.  It had felt so tight but I still wore it. If I had a hubby,  this was one of the things I would want him to do for me. Silly me. I guess I'm probably one of the people who would marry just to have a guy close for the wrong reasons. Someone to talk and laugh with and not come home to a dead silent apartment.  Someone to cuddle,  very important,  someone to give me a footrub. For these three purposes, I was definitely single but I would love a male presence.   Hilarious  Ella. Silly me. I  tried to fall asleep.
