Chapter 14: The Job Offer
★TATIANA★
I was chatting with a dude online when I heard someone knocking on the door.
"Who's there?" I asked, loud enough for whoever was knocking to hear me.
"The deliveryman." A masculine voice replied from outside.
"Coming!" I announced, dropping my phone on the couch and I rose to my feet.
Selena was still having a shower and she was singing loudly in the bathroom while having a shower.
I picked up my purse and removed thirty dollar notes, then I walked to the door. I opened the door to see a delivery man holding three boxes of pizza.
"Good evening, sir." I greeted as I collected the boxes of pizza from him and I stretched the thirty dollars to him.
"Evening." He replied as he collected the money. He dipped his hands from his pocket and he suddenly gasped.
"Something wrong?" I asked when I noticed the worried expression on his face.
"Oh my God! Where's my wallet?" The delivery man said in a panicking tone as he searched his pockets.
"Here it is." A deep and masculine voice said behind the delivery man, and I moved my gaze to the direction of the voice.
I almost lost my breathe when I saw the owner of the voice. He was a young man and the most handsome man I have ever seen.
He was tall, physically built and very impressive. He's got a strong jawline and very brightful brown eyes. His mass of black curly hair were shoulder length and silky.
"You forgot your wallet when you came to deliver my pizza at the hotel." The man said, handing over a wallet to the delivery man.
"Thanks a lot man. I'm really grateful." The delivery man thanked the handsome man before walking to his van, and he drove off immediately.
The young man waved at me and turned around to leave, but I immediately halted him.
"Wait!"
He stopped on his tracks and turned to look at me.
"Yes?" He raised his thick brows at me.
"Ummm.... Uh, can I... Can I know your name?" I stuttered.
"Ivan." He replied with an handsome smile which made me lose my senses for a minute.
"And what's your name?" He asked, moving closer to me.
"Umm.. my name?" I asked, and he nodded.
"Yes, what's your name?" He repeated.
"Um..um.. my name... is Tatiana." I stuttered.
"You've got a lovely name, Tatiana." He complimented, and I blushed very hard.
"Thanks." I replied, and lowered my head to hide the blush on my cheeks.
"Tati, are you talking to the delivery man?" Selena asked from inside the living room.
"No, I'm speaking with the most handsome man in the world!!!" I shouted without thinking twice, and Ivan laughed.
"By the way Tatiana, have we met before?" I asked.
"Umm... Nope." She replied. "Why do you ask?"
"I think I've seen your face somewhere, but I can't remember exactly where I saw your face." He replied, and I couldn't help but to blush.
I didn't even know why I was blushing. I just felt my cheeks heating up and I'm sure my face is as red as a tomato.
"I'm not sure we've met each other before coz this is the first time I'm seeing an handsome man like you." I said, and he chuckled.
"I'll take that as a compliment. Thanks." He replied with an handsome smile across his handsome face, and I almost forgot how to breathe.
Gosh!!!!! This standing in front of me right now is so fucking hot and handsome. I'm really trying my best not to grab him closer and kiss those beautiful and tempting lips of his.
Oh God! How can someone be as handsome as this?
"Uh, it's getting late, Tatiana." Ivan said, glancing at his wristwatch. "I'm sorry, but I have to leave."
"Can I have your number?" I asked immediately, and he nodded.
"Your phone please." He requested, and a gasp escaped my lips when I remembered that my phone was in the living room.
"Oh! I forgot my phone inside the living room. I'll be right back." I said, and rushed inside the living room, bumping into Selena.
"Where are you rushing off to, Tati?" Selena asked as I threw the boxes of pizza on a couch and picked up my phone.
"I'll be right back, Selena." I replied, and rushed back outside to meet Ivan.
"Here is my phone." I handed my phone over to him, and he inputed his number on it.
"Here you go." He returned my phone back to me after saving his number on it, and I collected it with a wide smile across my face.
"Thanks."
"Goodnight, Tatiana." He said, waving at me.
"Goodnight." I replied, waving back at him as he walked to his car. I watched as he got inside his car and drove off.
I remained on my spot, staring at his car till it was out of sight.
"Who were you speaking with, Tatiana?" Selena suddenly asked behind me and I flinched in fright.
"Oh fuck!" I exclaimed, placing my hand on my chest. "You scared me the shit out of me."
"Sorry, but who were you speaking with?" She asked, looking around as if she was searching for someone.
"A handsome man named Ivan, but he's gone already." I replied with a smile as we walked back inside the living room.
Selena was now putting on her night robe.
"And what was that handsome Ivan doing here?" She asked as we sat down on a couch.
"The deliveryman forgot his wallet at Ivan's place, so Ivan followed the deliveryman here and returned his wallet." I replied, opening a box of pizza to take out one slice of pizza.
"That Ivan must be a kindhearted man to have followed the deliveryman here in order to return his wallet." Selena said as she also took out a slice of pizza from it's box.
"Yeah, he's so kindhearted and super handsome." I blushed really herd when I remembered his face. "Gosh! I should have taken his picture."
"I hope you've not fallen for him, Tatiana, 'cause you're really blushing right now." Selena said.
"Gosh!!! I've fallen for him already!!" I screamed.
"Ugh!" Selena groaned and she continued eating her pizza.
★SELENA★
"Hmm..." I moaned at the sweetness of the pizza as I chewed it. "Mehn! This pizza is super super delicious."
"Yeah, everyone at work loves Domino's pizza." Tatiana said, taking a bite from her slice of pizza.
"And speaking of work," Tatiana adjusted herself on the couch. "A colleague of mine at work told me how she came across one of your post on Facebook and how much it really helped her relationship."
"Really?" I asked with a surprised expression on my face.
"Yeah," Tatiana nodded. "She said she and her boyfriend were having sexual issues in their relationship, but when she came across your page and read your posts, the sexual issue she had with her boyfriend got solved and their relationship grew stronger."
"Wow! That's great." I smiled widely, feeling happy that I helped someone's relationship with my knowledge about sex.
"So, are you no longer making educative posts about sex and other sexual topics?" Tatiana asked, raising a questioning brow at me. "The last time you posted on your FB page was one or two weeks ago, so I'm curious to know if your FB page is still active."
Just like Tatiana said, I had a Facebook page where I talked about sex and relationships. I gave out free tips and advices on how to spice up the sexual relationship between couples and it really worked for couples who had relationship problems related to sex.
My Facebook page was kinda popular and I had more than fifty thousand followers. People really loved the contents I post on my FB page, but these past few weeks, I had a lot on my plate, so I had to take a break from social media.
"Tatiana, you know I've got a lot on my plate currently, so I don't really time to create new contents on my FB page." I replied, and she sighed out loudly.
"But barbie doll, your contents are really helping people." She said, and I sighed out softly.
"Yeah, I know. But I've got more important things to do than posting on Facebook or Instagram." I replied.
"But you're not doing anything important right now, so why don't you create another post tonight? I'm sure your fans have missed you a lot."
"Alright." I picked up my phone and logged in to my Facebook account, then I switched to my FB page.
A message notification was the first thing I saw on the page's dashboard, and I decided to ignore it. It could be a message from one of the guys who wanted to be in a relationship with me and I wasn't ready for that.
I wanted to scroll up, but my finger mistakenly tapped the message icon and the new message popped up. The sender was a verified Facebook user, and I started reading the message.
*HI MS SELENA. MY NAME IS HANK RUTHERFORD, THE VICE CHANCELLOR OF CAMBRIDGE COLLEGE. TWO DAYS AGO, I CAME ACROSS ONE OF YOUR POSTS WHICH WAS ABOUT SEX AND IT'S IMPLICATIONS. IT WAS A VERY EDUCATIVE AND MIND-BLOWING POST, AND WE AT CAMBRIDGE COLLEGE NEED SOMEONE LIKE YOU WHO CAN TEACH OUR NEW ADULTS EVERYTHING THEY NEED TO KNOW ABOUT SEX. WE ARE OFFERING YOU A JOB AT OUR COLLEGE TO BE A SEX EDUCATIONIST, AND IF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN the JOB, THEN COME ON MONDAY FOR THE INTERVIEW. THANK YOU.*
"Oh my fucking God!!!" I screamed after reading the message.
"What's wrong barbie doll?" Tatiana rushed to my side.
"Read this." I said, and handed my phone over to her.
Her eyes widened in shock after reading the message.
"Oh my God! You just got a job offer from Cambridge college." She exclaimed.
"Yeah. I'm going to be a sex educationist at Cambridge college." I said.
"This is fucking great!!!!" She screamed, and handed my phone back to me.
"Yeah. I'm so happy right now." I smiled widely.
"Congratulations barbie doll!!" Tatiana screamed, hugging me tightly, and I laughed happily.
I felt so happy that I finally got a job that'd earn me a better income. I felt happy that I'd finally be able to pay for my brother's surgery.
