1 THE BEGINNING

All three friends were sitted at Zoe's house sipping their juices and discussing at her balcony recieving fresh air, when suddenly the door bell rings.

*ding *dong

Alice got up to check who was at the door, it was Beatrice A.k.a miss accessories and classy.

"Hey girls!!"; She squealed. "Guess what!!.... I just discovered a new place in town , there's going to be a grand reopening and also a VIP spot for couples on valentine's Day and it's going to be at a 50% discounted rate for a table of 8 persons, seriously believe me, you all are going to love this place, so guys what do you think!??" She asked with plenty of excitement.

Alice said with so much interest, "Beatrice count me in, how about you Chloe?".

"Girl am in already" Chloe replied enthusiastically. Beatrice turned and looked at Zoe with a slightly frowning face.

"As for you Zoe, we need you to complete the table with a man, because we are incomplete right now. please girl make it work"

"So Zoe, when do you intend getting a man for yourself?, It's literally been four years since you went on a date, your life has been work, work, shopping, sleeping, eating and all. Your life has been no sex, no romance, and we all are bothered about it".Chloe said in frustration, looking at Zoe.

"Honestly I'm tired with Zoe's boring lifestyle, her life has been a mess since the era of Desmond, and it has been only about her, no man , her love life is empty. Seriously girls we need to help her, it won't be nice going out with our partners on Val's day and Zoe will just sit at home and do nothing or she will come with us and be looking at us exchanging gifts with our spouses like an alien, girl you seriously need to make an effort , Alice gave her an enthusiastic look for a positive response".

haaaa!!!!!... Beatrice who acted nonchalantly towards Zoe's issues , voiced out with excitement, guys I have an idea!!!!!.....and she's going to love it, there's this dating site I bumped into about a week ago , it's a fun site and believe me girl it's going to catch your trills, I started using it two days ago and it's really cool, Zoe I think you should sign up for it...what do you think girls???

They all nodded in accordance and said , Babe you should give it a try and give us a review before Val's day. what are friends for if not for inconveniences, baby girl you have our full support and we are strongly behind you on this, okay?.

Ladies!!!...am seriously not in for some internet relationship, I don't intend starting my love life like that, if it's working for others that doesn't mean it's going to work for me, when the right man comes I will know, what happens to bumping into a man at the restaurant or coffee shop, why must it be an internet, guys I do not support this Idea of yours.

Beatrice said with a pensive face, But Zoe, it's not a bad idea, it's a love site, I've seen somany people getting married, falling in love through that dating site, why not give it a try, and if it doesn't work out then you can think of your fairytale kind of love, okay?.... Chloe and Alice concurred to Beatrice words as they looked at Zoe with a grimacing face.

Alright fine have heard you all and I will give the idea a trial. anyways, thanks babes for your concern, she said in sarcasm as she rolled her eyes.

Her three friends said in a smiling face and a smiling eyes alright Zoe, let's fix you up and sign you up for this. but guys am not really ready for this, but I will just give it a try for your sake. They all sat down, and she brought out her laptop and they downloaded the app and signed her in. and waited for someone to add her up, after some few hours a notification popped in , they all screamed and told Zoe , babe your prince charming just added you up , you should try and chat with him, she looked at them and said you people started this, so you'll have to keep it going.

Zoe's relationship life is really freaking me out and the few words have said is making me starve, Alice said with tiredness, seriously I think no-one is hungry, Because I'm famished , all these while, it has been Zoe here Zoe there, since we came in , please Chloe is hungry and miss little Chloe is also hungry.... Beatrice you know my kitchen more than I do , please fix us something to eat.

Seriously guys I'm I suppose too prepare us meal!? , Beatrice said exasperatedly....come on guys!!, I just made these nails and boo has not seen it yet. I think Alice should prepare it. it's been long we all ate her food. Beatrice is always fond of this, Even when we go to your house there's always an excuse or the other. seriously Beatrice you're too lazy , This is one of the reason why I prefer coming to Zoe's house, despite her career life, she cooks really well, and she's extremely hard-working, Alice added.

Alright, fine, I will prepare it myself.....awwwnnnn!! Beatrice said thanks with a relieved face smiling at Zoe. Zoe and the rest girls looked at her with a smirking face and a rolling eyes.

Zoe went to the kitchen prepared them some pasta and a citrus burst. after some time she called on the girls and told them food is ready. Beatrice jumped up and was at the forefront, when she got to the kitchen she smiled and looked at the food with a face savouring a delicious food.they all made their way to the dinning table, sat down, they all ate with satisfaction and drank together with smiles on their faces.

Thanks for the meal Zoe, we have a date to plan!.
