Chapter 13 part 1
The next morning I woke up with a headache,still feeling nauseous and hungry as hell, I darted off the room with a hand to my mouth.
I spent 15 minutes undergoing a 'cleansing session above the toilet. I stood up to wash my face at the sink. After that, I give myself pep talk in the mirror against drinking that much. I was finally getting myself after I took a long hot bath.
I changed into a T-shirt and shorts. Tied my hair in a bun and strolled to the kitchen.
I unfroze the sauce and made myself a wonderful breakfast. After eating so much that I could barely do the dishes, I went over the sofa and turned the TV on to the music channel.
What a boring Saturday. I looked at the clock on the wall 12:37pm.
I wonder what I'm gonna do with my time. I decide to call Quinn.
She picked up at the second dial.
"Hey girl, what's up?" She said immediately
"I'm okay. No, I'm not okay. I'm bored sooo bored. When will you ever pay me a visit?" I said walking around.
"Maybe later tonight, We'd all be going out" she unsurely.
"Yes!! But where? The mall?" I suggest.
"What would would we be doing at the mall by 9pm?" She asked sarcastically
"Okay okay, whatever.. Where are you right now anyway?" I finally sit down crossing my legs.
"At Edwin's" she responded
"Ohh I get you now. You little naughty bitch!" I laugh.
"I have no idea what you're talking about but I will see you tonight. Wear something hot!" She giggles and we say goodbyes.
I'm just gonna go back to bed till that time comes.
Something ho t. I'm looking forward to whatever's gonna happen tonight.
†††
The sound of my phone ringing woke me up from my nap. I looked at the screen, Luke's name boldly written.
Why is he calling?
"Hello?" I answer, my voice a little cracked.
"Hey, how're you doing lady?" He said in his thick British accent that made me smile like a little kid.
"I'm very well now, thank you. Thanks for dropping me off last night" I say getting off the bed.
"Woah.. I thought you wouldn't remember how you got home last night" he sounded a bit surprised.
I laugh"I guess I'm different"
"Yes, you really are" he muttered.
"Yeah..."
That awkward silence again..on phone.
Was that all he called to tell me? I really wanted to ask him hey? Anything else? But hell, that would be rude.
"Uhm Luke?" I called to be sure he wasn't dead on the phone.
"Yeah?" He answered.
"I really don't know what else to say anymore" I laugh.
He laughs"I know, neither do I, but it feels like you're here with me just talking to you on phone"
Awkward
.... How the hell am I gonna responded to that?
"Mmh same here" I blurted out, covering my mouth before I realized what I'd just said.
"Thanks, you'd be coming with us tonight right?" He asks.
"Yeah, definitely. I'm gonna shower now, so uhm we'll talk later?" I lie.
I don't like it when calls get this awkward. I mean i you're not gonna say anything why not drop the damn call and save me the energy?
"Okay, sure. Have a Wonderful day" he said.
"Thanks, you too" I dropped the call feeling a bit relieved that whatever that was, it was over.

Chapter 14

Katie gasped for breath as she got into her car. She removed her jacket to ease off the heat that wrapped her like cloth. It was her voice, she recognised it quite well. Oh she did, how could she forget that kind of voice? Never. The same voice that hunted her dreams, that never left her everyday That same voice had called her. Helena. Gosh it was Helena's voice, she was alive, Helena was alive. How was that possible, how? She had watched her fall from the window. She remembered that night. How could she forget? She remembered quite well how Wayne had come to her room that night as usual. She was already nineteen then but was still living with them, enduring all the pain and terror which only Helena knew about. They had planned it together, that Helena would be the one to sleep on the bed instead of Katie and Katie would take a picture of Wayne forcing Helena, then they would send to their mother and they would agree that Wayne was going through mental disorder for trying to rape his sister. He would be taken to the Mental Asylum and would be out of their lives forever. They had planned everything well but things didn't go as they planned. Wayne had started forcing Helena and when he realised it wasn't Katie, he got angry and pissed and they started arguing. Katie had managed to take a picture and was still hiding when Wayne mistakenly pushed Helena down the window. Katie had come out of her hiding place and watched as Helena fell shouting her name. Wayne pushed her away so she wouldn't see her fall on the ground. He was also scared and afraid. He had killed his own sister. Katie used the opportunity to run out of the house and out of their lives forever. She never went back till today only to be saved by Tess' family and they became friends before she started to live by herself.
Now Helena was alive and back and had actually called her to meet up at a bar close to Georgina's company. How had she survived? Katie couldn't hel but wonder as she parked in front of the bar now and got out. She entered the bar and waited for her, her heart beating ten times faster. Was it a prank o was she really alive? She sat on a table and waited. Then a figure stood over her, a shadow at first then it grew into a shape, a gorgeous one. Katie looked up to see Helena looking beautiful in her red flay dress and a diamond necklace and earrings. She wore silver heels to match. Helena had always been the fashion one, she was the one that taught Katie how to dress but Katie turned out to like jean trousers and tops while Helena developed a desire for nice gowns. Katie stood up to meet her. She sa her face, glowing. She hadn't aged much for the past eight years, not at all. She was still the same, just that she had grown full breasts and an interesting figure. They stood there for a while, eac of them silent. "Kate....." Katie ran straight to hug her. She wrapped her in a long warm hug. Her sister, her lost sister was back, back to her.
"Helena, how...how have you been?" Katie finally asked after releasing Helena and sitting down opposite her. Helena smiled. "Missed your sister thi much?" She asked. "Oh gosh." Katie held both of he hands and kissed them. "I've been really good, at least free from Wayne. How bout you?" Helena asked her. "Oh yes. I've been doing spectacularly well Helena." Katie said. "Helena? Thought we gave each other names, I call you Kate, you call me Lena Forgotten so soon?" Helena said, Katie laughed, how she missed her sister. "Oh common. How could I forget such a thing, I never forget anything related to my sister. I've just not come out of my shock tha you're here, I...I thought you died." Katie looked at her straight. "Well, guess I didn't." Helena smiled. She was looking more beautiful than Katie remembered. "How did you survive? I saw you fall off the window, how exactly are you still alive?" Katie asked her. "I was saved. The window was facing the streets directly, I fell on an ongoing car, i was mere luck. The owners of the car were also surprised and shocked, the driver stopped the car immediately after feeling something hit their car. They took me to the hospital where I stayed for weeks. I explained everything that happened to the and they decided to adopt me. They took very good care of me." Katie could smell some lies in her story, she had a feeling Helena was just trying to make her believe, not what really happened. But she was past caring, oh yes she was, no matter how sh was saved, all Katie could think of was that she ha her sister back. "I wanted to see you, I've been trying to contact you but my foster parents said it would be good for me if I stayed anonymous for some time so I could be safe. Then I decided to check you out once more, I saw your blog, you are a reporter I see, got your information from there." Katie smiled, she couldn't stop smiling. "What about you? What do you do now?" She asked. "I am a business lady now, I work for my adopted parents." Helena said. "Woooow, I'm happy you are alive Lena I can't express my happiness baby, thank goodness. Katie said and she suddenly became quiet before she asked. "Have you heard from Wayne?" Helena looked at Katie and her smile wiped off. "No I haven't, have you?" Katie shook her head.
They talked for another one hour incessantly, catching up on stuffs. Katie told her too about how she survived and about who she was staying with and also, what she was doing presently at Danpa. They even shared boyfriend stories and all the dates they have had. Katie told her about Tony and Fred but not about Georgina, she was still working on that.
"Katie, can you leave Tess and come and stay with me, I don't wanna let you go again, no please, don't say no, I don't want you away from my sight." Helena finally said after some time. Katie didn't think twice about it, she also wanted to be close to her and she knew Tess would want some privacy with Danny, so she was going to meet her and live with her and never lose her again, not ever. "Oh yes Helena, I will, I also don't wanna lose you anymore." With that, they both stood up to hug each other for a long time before finally departed.

Chapter 13

Fred waited impatiently in his office for the knoc on his door. What exactly was she doing here? He never mixed his business life with his personal life. Never! So what was Katie Laurens doing in his office? He had been waiting since his secretary called him that Katie wanted to see him. Its been two weeks now since they last saw after the dinner date. He had been disturbed ever since, and had been stalking her everyday since he heard her story, but Georgina Huckings was giving him a tough time. She wanted to take control of the market which Fre wouldn't allow. He had been in the business long before her and after all, she was just a woman, an ordinary woman and he wouldn't lose to a woman. He had spent the better part of his two weeks coming up with new ideas to attract more shareholders to his company and recruiting more experts to handle stuffs, he would still lead the economic market no matter what.
Oops, and there he heard it, the knock he had been waiting for. "Come in." He called and the door opened as Katie walked in. He had expected something casual for an informal visit but her dressing spoke indirectly to him that it was strictly business which made him wonder what exactly she was here for if not for a friendly visit. "Hey Mr Stiles, I'm Katie Laurens from National news and I' here to ask you some questions." She said. So she was a reporter, interesting. She was even working for National news, the best News company in the city. He gestured for her to sit. "Oh Katie, you don't have to be formal, you know that." He told her. He couldn't take his eyes off her. He never did. Her curves and hips were brought out by her tight suit skirt and the lines curving her breasts were shown by the camisole tightened by the suit jacket that wa buttoned right below her breasts. Her flat tummy made her shape gorgeous and she looked beautiful the way she styled her blonde hair. Either casual or formal, she was spectacular. "Yes I have to be, because this is strictly business." She replied raising her chin up in a gesture that he was sure, made he feel in control. "Alright ma'am, you can ask your questions." He said just as he called his secretary for two glasses of wine for the both of them.
"Mr Stiles, I'm very sure you have been interviewed before by other reporters when you were about showing your face to the public so I'm going t leave the primary and go straight to what brought me here exactly." She said looking at him straight i the eye which made him wonder if it wasn't the same lady that was crying on his shoulders, so vulnerable, two weeks ago. She looked cold and harsh, well, he loved those who kept their personal life away from business. "Miss Laurens, you're keeping me on suspense. Have I done anything wrong?" He asked as their wine was brought to them. "Not exactly, but when I was going through your statement, I saw this part and I came to think that you didn't expatiate on it well, I'm here so you could complete it." She showed him some writings on her tab and he saw the part she zoomed, his statement about his mother. He became very uneasy. "I will be very sad to inform you that its personal and I have the right to my privacy in my business, I told other reporters that." He told her. But she wasn't moved, she dropped her files and tab and came to sit on the same couch he was sitting, little bit close to him. "Well, other reporters, not Katie. Fred, forget being formal now, look at me as the girl that you met two weeks ago that shared her ordeals with you when you were on the same bed, I want you to tell me about your mother and why she changed her identity and refused to be identified by your father's name." She said. Fred was surprised how she could change easily in a moment. He couldn't do that. Anytime he was personal, he was strictly personal and same with business. "Thought you said it was strictly business." He asked her but she just smiled. "I knew you weren't going to tell me that easily according to what I read on the reporters' file about the reason you couldn't tell them about your mother, so I thought I could ask you as a friend." She was just too sweet to refuse and though a lot of people have asked him that he didn't tell, he felt like pouring everything to this lady. "Why do you want to know?" He asked. "Well, I'm working on a report that I found out was associated with you. So Fred, please talk to me as a friend. Don't hide anything. I trusted you with my past, trust me with yours and I won't make it public I promise." She touched his hands and he felt vulnerable immediately. Tears welled up in his eyes as events started coming back to his memory, events that he had tried his best to lock out, been long he told anyone about it.
"Vanessa Stiles, that was her name. Very beautiful and caring. She was the best mother in th world when I was twelve. I loved her dearly but not as much as my father, even at that age, I could tell he loved her more than his own life. We were all happy together and things were going on smoothly." He remembered how things had been, how his mother would take him to school every morning and tell him he loved her. How he was always showing off to his friends the beauty of his mother, how she was the closest thing to him, he missed those moments. But now, it was like they never even happened. "She travelled when I was fifteen, I never wanted her to go but she had to, for business reasons. I felt something bad was gonna happen to her and I wanted to follow her but she wouldn't let me. She left. And that was when my mother died to me. She didn't come back for two years, two fuckin years. Dad also didn't know her where about, he wa broken, we thought something bad had happened to her as I said. We were restless, we couldn't live our lives 'cos she wasn't there. We reported to the police and involved everyone and every news station we could, we spent one year hoping. Even those at her work said she never reported and even wanted to fire her until they realised she was missing." Fre looked at Katie, she was paying full attention and never left his hand, was encouraging him. He remembered how things had been tough for them for the two years she was away, how he had fallen sick most times. How he would write a letter on a kite each day and fly it to her and wait outside for a reply that never came. "We had lost hope that she would ever come back until one day. One fucking summer afternoon that we heard a knock on the door. I went to open it and it turned out to be Vanessa. She had changed, her face had changed but there was still a little resemblance that made me know it was her, she wasn't that beautiful but her figure also changed too, she had that supermodel shape and when I saw her, I didn't kno whether to run and hug her or just close the door. Well I closed the door on her face and shouted that my mother was dead until my dad came to open the door and let her in. He accepted her, he loved her, he brought her in back and we celebrated and rejoiced." Fred couldn't help but think that if his father hadn't opened the door for her that day, if only they had kept her out of their house and lives, things wouldn't be the same way they were, his father wouldn't be handicapped. "We thought it was only her physical appearance that changed, little did we know that her behaviour and way of thinking als changed with it. She was another person entirely, very different and cold. She and dad had quarrels every fucking time, they always fought and dad always apologised, we always did as she wanted. Dad loved her to the extent that he willed all his properties to her when she asked for it. He was blinded by her love and I was too young to understand what was going on, at seventeen. They kept everything between them. She started treating me badly, always beating and wiping me, always irritated by my sight, she always locked me indoors when she had visitors. Strange visitors. Until she told my dad she wanted to be a supermodel, that it had been her dream all long and didn't want to stay with us, she wanted to leave and she did just that taking all we had, all our properties along. Dad didn' wanna give up on her, he never did, he chased her, begging and begging for her to come back. He went to extreme length to get her back. In the process of begging her, he had a fatal accident when I was nineteen that made him handicapped with less than one possibility of becoming normal again." He cried hard, the pain was just too much for him now when he remembered the state his father was. "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry." He looked at Katie as she offered him an handkerchief. "She never came back, still never did. She changed her name, to a stage name or something, I don't care to know. Heard she died in an accident some, years later, she deserved more than that. She used my dad and I and made us suffer." He still wondered what made her change She never told them what happened within the two years she was away. But he didn't give a Bleep, she betrayed them and it was all he could think of.
"I'm so sorry Fred, so sorry, you've been throug a lot and...." Her phone rang then, she excused herself to pick it and when she came back, she became very uneasy, he noticed, her face became pale and he wondered what happened. "I'm really sorry but I have to go right now." She said. "Is everything okay?" He asked but she just waved it off. "Its nothing." He stood up to meet her. "Well, guess I have helped you in your report well enough. She smiled. "Yes, I got all I need." She said and took her files then walked to the door. "Katie.." He called, she looked back. "Wanna ask you, who are you reporting about?" He asked her. "Georgina Huckings, I guess you know her already." And with that, she walked out. What!! Georgina. Interesting, he was going to still talk about her with Katie, gues it was high time he paid her a visit.

CHAPTER 6 PART 1
Daniella's pov
something 'bout you makes me feel like a
dangerous woman. I heard my phone ring and vibrate. "What the heck!" I exclaimed reaching for my phone at the night stand.
I picked it up "finally" I mean I'm too lazy to get up so I got to stretch in order to reach it, don't you
dare judge me.
Looking at the contacts name I signed,"Bethany of all people should know that I dont take calls at this ungodly hour"I murmured it's just 3am,what is so important that she couldn't have waited till tomorrow,I love my best friend really I do but she sometimes scares me.
"Yes Beth, what can I help you with?" I asked in an annoyed tone. I paused hearing sniffing and whimpering from the other end what! Is she crying.
"Beth what's wrong,what happened?" I asked again anxiously. it's not every time she gets all soft,she doesn't like showing her vulnerability too much. So this is a big deal people!
"Dan-iella it's (sniff) ja (sniff) son"
She replied in between her sobs. what does this guy not understand about me holding a knife and his balls on the ground and bleeding to death. I
swear,I dont mind attending his funeral.
"What did he do this time?" I questioned weakly.
"Well he-" I heard her blowing her nose at the end of the line and i felt her pain.
"Tell me Beth,what did he do?" I urged her to continue.
"He kissed me Daniella,I mean I tried to stop him but he was so stubborn. I looked so vulnerable in front of him" she cried even harder,i'm not used in giving people advice so i'm clearly a novice here.
"When did this happen and why wasn't I with you?" I inquired feeling guilty for not being by her side when she needed me the most.
"We were at Melissa's party the one you clearly rejected at her face remember?" She scoffed. her voice getting back to normal. Now,that's the beth I know,now moving on to the conversation.
"Oh the thought of her annoys me" I sneered shuddering.
"You've said that since we were ten" she pointed out.
"Remind me why we are still on her?" I rolled my eyes rolling on my back on the bed. Melissa and I always had this beef since we were little she always sees herself as superior,bumptious and annoys me at the little sight she's got. like the day i went to the toy shop with my dad when I was ten. I fell in love with a particular barbie rock star doll holding a mic,I always had this passion for music so I picked it up only to discover Melissa eyeing it. I pulled the doll away from her but guess what I got,she started ranting about her picking it first. long story short. My dad gave it to her saying I was the mature one and she smirked her way out of the shop. That little devil was all I said.
"Daniella you still there!" Bethany shouted at the other end. I removed the phone from my ears and rubbed it.
"Jeez girl!"
"Well you totally suck at giving people advice" she stated as a matter-of-fact. Like I don't know that already.
"Beth look it's obvious,you still love Jason but what don't get is why he called it off, he didn't even tell you why" I said rolling on my left.

CHAPTER 12
"Hey..Gabby? You dead?" A voice woke me up from a deep sleep I didn't realise I was having.
What in the world?...
I rubbed my eyes and took in the surrounding of the party I was still at in a blurry vision that slowly focused itself into a more clear picture.
The lights in the ceiling shined in muted red and onto the room full of crazy looking people walking and bumping the crowded room with one or more red cups in their hands.
"Gaaaaaabby?" I heard the same voice that woke me up very close to me say.
I turned to see Milton beside me who was obviously high as hell. My face still on the table, I have been drooling..yuck! My hand still holding on to my liquor my other hand holding the bottle of liquor.
"Whaaaat?" I slur at him.
"W...what time is it?" I ask lifting my face off the table. The room looked fuzzy and so did everything in it.
He took a long look at his watch "2:25am".
"Mmmh.. Okay bye" I stood up to gain my balance.
"Where you going? I can ta..."
I placed my finger on his lips to shut him up.
"Home and no. You can't drive me home. You're drunk and I certainly am not ready to die tonight. Thanks anyway" with that, I walked out the hotel waving my hands to him.
†††
I looked like a mess having to walk down the street like a 'totally normal person'. In fact I need to call the Walking dead team and sign up for auditions as a zombie.
My hair was all over the place - you name it north, east, west, South.. I looked like shit. Thank goodness I didn't wear heels, that wouldn't have ended so well.
And then I thought 'where the hell was I heading to? I don't know my way from here'. I saw a bus stop sign and decided to wait there for the bus to arrive.
10 mins gone, no bus.
20.. Still no freaking bus and I felt really dizzy.
I give up, I'm calling that guy. I don't care if he's with Rosie right now in his bed but I needed my friend to come rescue me.
It took me two minutes to find my phone in my bag. I dial up Luke's number. It rings twice.
"C'mon son..pick up the damn phone"
And he picks up.
"Heyyyyy Luke, it's been a while I heard from you. Uhm how're you?" I try to keep it casual but naaah it wasn't working.
"I'm okay, I guess. What's up?" He sighed.
"Fine, I need your help. Please please can you come pick me up? I'm stranded at the bus stop. The one after Royal Stay. Please." I beg.
"Okay, hold on" he dropped the call.
Yeah thata boy.
It didn't take too long before a black car parked in front of me. He got down and walked towards me.
He looked sexy in his sweatpants and a white T-shirt. His brunette hair in place. Like seriously? Couldn't he for once look dreadful?
"Nice work young Lady." He said folding his arms. His biceps form and I could see his large veins pop out his skin. He was mad I could tell, but why the hell was he playing dad to me.
I stood up to walk up to the car but stumbled on my way. I felt large hands catch me, preventing me from getting hurt from my clumsiness.
"Thank you" I gained my balance and got into the car.
††
The drive to my house was quiet. Too quiet.
"Why were you out so late?" He asks finally breakin the silence.
I sigh."I went for a party with Milton."
He sped up a bit. Oookay, now this was getting awkward. I wasn't ready to die but it seemed like death wanted me so bad.
"Why?" He asked in a way I could barely hear.
I laugh "how do I answer that? Well I don't know, because I wanted to" I said sarcastically raising an eyebrow.
He brought the car to a break, turned to face me.
"Do you like him? Do you have feelings for him?" H blurted out.
"What? Milton? No, no freaking way" I slur
"You're sure?" He looked into my eyes like an interrogative officer.
I furrowed my brows "what does it matter to you if I do? Isn't that what everybody is on to? You and Rosie!"
Good, very good Gabby. Bravo! Nice choice of words girl!
"What do you mean?" He asked confused.
"Never mind, forget about it" I said waving the topic off but no, it was spilt milk already.
"Hell no. What do you mean by 'Rosie and I?" He sounded prepared for an argument.
I don't know what's the big deal of keeping it to myself anyways not that I care.
"You like her don't you?"
"Are you serious? You think I do?" He smirked.
"Uhh yeah?" I say unsurely.
"You're wrong. I do not. I like someone else." He said, putting the car on drive.
Oh..
"Oh.. Good for you" I looked out the window. Why the hell am I getting mad right now? I feel like shit I feel like destroying something.
Soon we were at my driveway. I got off the car, wa about to get off when he said "wait, I'll help you in".
Before I could say anything else, he got off the car turning over to help me walk.
" I'm really fine" I assured him but this guy really doesn't know when to give up his good works.
He helped me onto the sofa and got into the kitchen to get me water.
"More liquid?? Please no" I beg
He chuckled handing a cup of water to me" It was your choice to drink that much"
I gulped on the water for a while.
"I uh.. I should get going. You need to rest. Get sobered up" he said
"I'm not drunk" I rolled my eyes.
"Oh, of course. You're not. Drunk." He said with a cheeky grin.
"Do sleep well, I'll check on you tomorrow" he walked to the door.
"Thanks so much! Good night" I said waving to him.
I wasn't drunk. I was wasted.
I managed to get on my bed, removing my clothes. Ending up half naked. I dozed off within seconds.

CHAPTER 5 PART 2
"It's my tooth see" he smiled showing the space left between his teeth and literally shoving his broken teeth into my eyes.
I put his hands down,"Mummy said I should keep it under my pillow for the tooth fairy to see"
I smiled,when I was his age I didn't even believe in them. When I was a kid,my mum tried to convince me on the magical tooth fairy but I laughed and smacked her on the butt yelling "sponge bob got my mum's brain! Sponge bob got my mum's brain!"
"Mummy's right"I smiled putting him down to the ground,I ruffled his hair slightly and tickled him. he laughed so hard almost falling to the dirty floor. I stopped and walked him home.
******************************
I finally got to my street,my jaw dropped seeing my Mum begging some people who I pray it's not.
Oh no.
The loan sharks, not again!,I ran to them trying to stop them from entering into my home. My Mum collected a loan to start up a business,but she couldn't pay back. The last time they came here I assured them that the money will be given to them but I lied.
I bit my fingers anxiously trying to think of a solution.
"leave Tyler to the case" I heard Tyler my childhood friend and also the son to our mayor he smirked removing my hairband. I hit him hard on his shoulder and smiled seeing him in pain.
"Ouch that's gonna leave a mark" he whined rubbin the spot.
"Oh is the Almighty Tyler in pain" I teased wriggling my brow,he groaned slightly glaring at me.
"Hmm- mm as much as you guys look cute together but we are in some kind of crisis,look" my Mum pointed at the loan sharks. Oh I almost forgot.
I rolled my eyes I mean Mum always had the idea o the both of us been compatible and in a relationship It's like oil and water we all know that they dont ge along well,Tyler is really cute I must admit he has hazelnut eyes, dark brown hair and a dimple on his left cheek just like mine.
Tyler handed the loan sharks a paper,they went off after apologizing to my Mum and I. Effect of being the mayor's son.
"What did you do" I turned to Tyler seeing him grin.
"I did what I had to" he shrugged stepping really close. I looked directly in his hazel eyes.
"I don't need your help,we are more than capable in dealing with our problems Tyler" I frowned playing with my fingers.
"I know Gabriella, you said it countless of times but see what happened today" he stepped back engagin in a conversation with my mum. My mum thanked him and went inside.
"Hmm- thank- you" I muttered
"And what was that?" he asked cupping his ear.
I rolled my eyes at his childish behaviour.
"Thank you silly!!" I yelled in his ears.
"Geez! you didn't need to scream"
"You made me do it" I defended myself. "But you didn't have to really"
He took my palm playing with it,"I will do more if it means keeping you safe"he smirked staring directly in my sea green eyes.
He was about saying something but stopped himself by shaking his head and coughing uncontrollably.
"Oh Tyler got the flu" I sang running into my house.
"Oh no I don't!" I heard him yell behind me. but i'm more worried about him getting to me,so I ran as if my life depended on it. Well it actually does.

Chapter 12Katie waited patiently at the reception of Huckings Incorporated. She finally had an appointment with her. It was easier for her to get one and that still surprised her because she had thought it would be hard to get her attention. But something told her that other reporters weren't so lucky. The past week has been dry and uneventful. Not that she didn't lik it but she hasn't heard from neither Tony nor Fred for some days now. It couldn't have been over, she knew it. The more reason she was disturbed. She was going to check out her new house that would take nothing less than four months to perfect. She was going to check the structure and see where the were on the site. But right now, she needed to focu on the job that brought her to town. "She wants to see you now." The blonde oval faced lady presumably the secretary came to meet Katie where she was sitted with her files and tab. "Okay, thanks." She stood up and walked to Georgina's office, a typical successful rich woman's office. She looked around the gorgeous office. It was spacious and beautiful. It was well ventilated and decorated. Since the office was on the eleventh floor of the building, the view of the streets looked small and dim, but still beautiful anyway. One could easily see the woods, fields, houses, shops, fellow companies from the window just as the woman who was mean to be Georgina was looking right now. She was leaner than she expected with her back turned to her and glass of wine between her fingers. Her figure looked like that of a model's and it was obvious the gym was friends with her. Her hair was long and black, very black. She wore a gown that cost more than Katie's yearly rent back in the city. Katie had always dreamt of buying a dress by that same designer.
"Beautiful isn't it??" Said the voice of the woman, very calm and soft. "Just as if you have the whole town under your feet and you can either crus them or rule them. The feeling you get when you can see everything from just one place." She continued. "Seems like a place where someone can think and reason, not a place where someone can wade off sorrow and all. Could imagine a successful business woman like you has a place like this to reason and to come up with ideas." Feeling obliged to, Katie contributed. The woman finally turned to her. "Brilliant, very brilliant. I'm impressed." She was beautiful as a matter of fact and apart from the lines on her face that make-up couldn't cover, she looked very young but no matter how hard she took care of herself, age is something that can't be avoided. "Pardon my manners, i'm Katie Laurens, a reporter from National news." Katie introduced. "Of course, the most brilliant of them all." Georgina said "I'm flattered." Katie smiled. "Oh common, i'm very sure you have thought about the reason I chose to have an appointment with only you out of all reporters, I want to make sure my story isn't manipulated or misunderstood and after a lot of investigation, you are the best person I came up with." Georgina said as she ordered for cups of coffee on the receiver. Katie knew that getting the appointment easily meant something was different, but she still felt there was more to it because she knew she wasn't the best reporter in the whole city. The woman wanted something that only Katie could give and she wondered what. "And again, i'm flattered and very grateful. So ma'am, if you don't mind, we should get to business." Katie said. "Oh yes, let's move to the couch" And that, they did. Katie brought out her apparatus as she settled down for the interrogation.
"As a child, what did you dream of becoming when you grew up?" Katie asked. The woman resembled someone, just as Katie took a close look at her. But she didn't know who. "Smart. I haven't always dreamt of being a business woman, that question was personal wasn't it?" Georgina smiled just as their coffee was brought to them. "Figured it was the best way to get to know and understand yo as a person, besides, not everyone had the privilege of achieving his or her childhood dreams" katie responded as she thanked the Secretary and took a long sip from her coffee. "Yes. I've always dreamt t be an actress. A model. Wanted to be a star, to act, to pretend to be someone else, to be seen by many. Funny enough i've always thought to be a villain." Georgina said. "Odd, everyone wanna be a hero" Katie looked closely at her and tried to remember who she looked like. "Not everyone, or do you?" Th question struck Katie. This woman seemed to know a lot about Katie and this interrogation felt she was the one being interrogated instead of interrogating. "What brought about your dream of being a busines woman and being this successful?" Katie continued. "Well, personal stuffs. When things didn't go the way I wanted them to be, I had no other option, I wanted to prove myself to someone." Katie looked a her straight. "The person must be someone special then." Katie knew she was going to avoid the question. "Next question Miss Laurens." Katie smiled knowingly at her. "Do you or did you have a family?" Katie asked. "Yes, I had a husband and a son." Georgina replied and without being asked to, she continued. "Lost them a long time ago, and my son is the reason i'm doing all of this." Katie wanted to know more. "What happened to them." Katie asked. "An accident, I was the only survivor." Georgina said in a way that made Katie feel sorry fo her. "I'm so sorry for that" but she just smiled. "Oh don't be, its in the past." Katie had the impression that she was a strong woman and she liked her for that. How she wished she also could get over her past. "One last question miss and we will be done for today." Katie declared an hour later after asking other business questions. "Oh miss, I wish it wasn't the last and i'm looking forward to our next appointment, twas fun talking and sharing things with you. Please ask." Georgina said. "What's the name of your son?" Georgina was hesitant at first and Katie thought she wasn't going to talk until she said it. "Fredrick."
Katie prepared coffee and settled down in her room in front of her desktop to work. The investigation was suspicious and she intended on finding out everything about this woman. Something told her she wasn't who she seemed she was and she was going to find out who she really was. It wasn't because the name of her son was Fredrick, well, thousands of people bear that name, but Katie just had a strange feeling. She browsed the net for Fredrick Huckings. There were a lot so she limited i to Danpa since it was Georgina's home town, there, she found none. No one was bearing Frederick Huckings in Danpa and even in Middle city, none. Her so called son doesn't exist. Katie became more interested. Something just told her to check on Fredrick Stiles and she saw his written interrogation when he also showed his face to the public. Oops, so Fredrick was a business man too. Well, that mus be the reason he rode expensive cars. She went through his statement thoroughly and found nothing related to Georgina there. Silly, what was she thinking, how could mother and son bear different surnames? Well, maybe Georgina wanted to pretend to have a family when she had none, most business men and women did that to earn the respect of people as being matured enough.
She was almost so sure until she saw something that made her change her mind in Fredrick's statement. He was talking about his family. 'My mother became our enemy and went against us, even changed her name just to be distinct from us, she shouldn't be part of this statement...."
Katie began to think. His mother was his enemy? According to his business statement that she just went through, he was the most successful business man in Danpa. Forget the fact that she was fortunate to meet him under strange circumstances, he was going to be a challenge to Georgina. What if the statement "I am doing all of this for my son" that Georgina said meant that she was in the business to face her son since she was his enemy. Wow, this was damn complicated and she intended on finding out what the hell was going on and it would start by she, asking Fred some questions about his mother whom he called his enemy. She was going to find out about the relationship the two had. What if Frederick was Georgina's son?

Chapter 3


Mabel's POV
I couldn't sleep throughout the night, I know am kind of exaggerating the issue but I can't help it, I really can't but it feels like I am on a mission and it is to make ken love me or at least I should be someone of significance to him.
Cora's POV
I didn't even realize its morning already I had fallen asleep on the carpet with ken, we were watching the TV and had chat all through the night,and I remember enjoying my sweet sleep when something woke me up...oh Mabel...she had called me that morning that she was coming and I know she is coming to see ken, she's such a drama queen waking me up this early, I rubbed my eyes and tried getting some sleep as I laid down but all efforts to sleep was futile, so I just stood up leaving ken who was still lying down on the carpet, I used the blanket I saw beside me 'which I assume was used to cover my body by ken when I fell asleep' to cover his body, then I went downstairs knowing my paren should be up and greeted both of them, my dad said he wanted to go out for a minute and mom wanted to make breakfast so I went back upstairs seeing both of them still giving the cold shoulder I guess they are still not on good terms, I decided to do the necessary things there is no school since its saturday I decided to wait for Mabel to get here and I didn't even finish dressing up when I saw my roo door open and Mabel came in, my jaw dropped." Seriously Mab, when was the last time you came to my house this early" I asked her making a serious face
"Whatever, are you not happy to see me" she said trying to pull me into a hug
I moved back and said "mab, do you like him that much?" She nods her head frantically and I shook my head "He practically doesn't know you exist.." I was about to talk some sense into her when someone came knocking on the door
"Corey, are you now talking to yourself, I guess you forgot to tell me that part when I was asking about you" he said and knocked again, this time he came in
"Oh look like you gat a visitor, good morning I hope am not intruding" he said smiling
"Umm ken meet my best friend Mabel, mabel meet my cousin ken" Mabel smiled and said hi, ken said hi too and went out telling me to come down for breakfast
"Coreyyyyyyyy" Mabel said after ken left, she drew the name in a funny way " I want him to give me a name too, maybe like mabey or mable or may or..." She called all the possible names she wanted, I shaked my head and reminded her to come eat breakfast with us, she stopped and followed me, walking so fast she almost pushed me down.
Mabels POV
When he smiled I wanted him to smile at me, I wanted to be the reason he smiled Cora told me all that was going on with him and I felt so bad for him, so I decided to act as mature as I could when I am with him so he won't run away from me and maybe I could get to know more about him.
Everyone ate breakfast silently, it was kind of boring for me cos' in my house we always eat breakfast in a noisy atmosphere, where my little sister Dora wants to pee while eating, or jack my little brother pours his food away breaking the plate, my mum shouting at me to clean the floor immediately my dad making calls to his so called
client s who never stop making him shout, it is a daily thing that I am used to so being in this very noiseless area is so weird. Cora started to cough loudly, I snapped out of my thought seeing Mrs Collins (Cora's mom) and ken rushing over to her, I hand them the jug of water and after some minutes she calmed down and everyone smiled.
I guess I got the noise I wanted 'winks'
Authors note:
Are you thinking what am thinking, hmmm, what
could it be? We don't know for sure if Mabel's 'so
called' mission is goino work but if you will
continue with me let's see how it will turn out,
when you have to choose between lots of choices
not even two....rollercoaster...bump..bump...bump
Don't stop reading

The more reason she was disturbed. She was going to check out her new house that would take nothing less than four months to perfect. She was going to check the structure and see where the were on the site. But right now, she needed to focu on the job that brought her to town. "She wants to see you now."

"Beautiful isn't it??" Said the voice of the woman, very calm and soft. "Just as if you have the whole town under your feet and you can either crus them or rule them. The feeling you get when you can see everything from just one place." She continued. "Seems like a place where someone can think and reason, not a place where someone can wade off sorrow and all.

Chapter 4 part 2


"Ahh,Ralph you scared the Bee-Jeezus out of me" I pushed yet another insanely cute Asher away from me making him fall hard on his butt judging from the way he's rolling on the clean grass floor groaning in pain.
"Tamara,you shouldn't do that to anyone" he whined getting up and wiping little to no dust from his leather pants.
"And why's that" I narrowed my eyes at him waiting for his response.
"You have a hand made of iron,let me have a look" he moved closer to me taking my little hands in his large one assessing them,then he dropped it abruptl and i scooted over to let him sit with me. The surrounding was cool and we stayed like that for five minutes until..
"There was one time I fell from a cliff, I didn't kno what actually happened but I remembered my self taking selfies in thin air before laying unconscious on the ground"
I laughed hard clutching my stomach. There was only one person who could make dying seem fun. And that's..
Yes you guessed right. Ralph.
"Don't you dare laugh at me,I almost died you know he glared at me.
"Oh really?" I questioned trying to sound serious but couldn't cause stray sounds of laughter kept on blowing my cover.
"I suffered a concussion,three broken ribs and a dislocated arm with bruises all over my face" he said counting his fingers as he talked,my mouth grew wide and I gasped covering my mouth with my hands.
"Why are you telling me this?" I asked,I mean we met yesterday I know he invited me to his party but we barely know each other.
"Everyone knows, no biggie" he shrugged,then he eyed me and smiled briefly.
"We should be heading to class now Tamara" he got up and held his hands out for me and when I took it,he released his and my medium sized butt came crashing on the floor. I groaned rubbing my now bruised butt. If looks could kill,Ralph would be six feet under now.
"That's for my bruised butt Tam" he laughed and continued "oh don't forget my party at 9" he winked and disappeared. Did he think I could trust him by going to his party after his act of betrayal...oh no I don't think so. I dragged my self up and walked painfully to the hallway.
"Hey!,wait up" I turned to see Max and Flora waving happily at me they moved forward smiling.
"Hey" Max grinned then he looked at my hands laying on my butt then he shook his head "your tim of the month huh?" He asked a little bit loudly and I blushed seeing some group of boys who walked past us but turned and laughed at me.
"Will you keep it down,and no it's not my time of the month" I answered trying to keep my voice down.
"You don't need to lie to us girlfriend,I understand totally" Flora shook her head. I groaned shaking my head.
"Who do you understand now Flo?" Amber walked i asking.
"Tamara here who thinks her period is gross" Flora said like it was nothing.
"What the!,will you guys shut up already and let's hurry to class" they all nodded but as we did we heard a quick "listen up" coming from the speakers in the hallway. Everyone turned and stopped at their tracks bickering about what the principal was going to say now.
"Listen up everyone,we are going on a field trip nex week" she started. A group of three girls behind me squealed but it was replaced with a whiny frown when principal Maureen stated it was for seniors only. What was the biggie about field trips?
Who am I kidding,I love anything that deals with fields trips involving more than three people. I mea I went on boring ones with my best friend Trina and her twin Tryson which never ends well cause hey!, her twin Tryson hate my guts and he finds that as a good time to carry out his devious means on me for his own satisfaction which is a 'smirk'..

CHAPTER 2


Ken's POV
As I got off the plane, I felt the sadness have been trying to get rid of well up inside me, I wasn't even forced to come to Beverly hills, but what I was goin through is more than able to get me packing my bags, I couldn't sleep at home,it was like a living hell, sometimes I feel like life's totally cruel, giving some people the good part and some the bad part. When I was 12 my parents seperated due to reason known to them, and that took my smile away, my zeal to live a normal life like every other person, but I persisted, I had a dream, I wanted to be an artist and I drew with my whole heart and that kept me going, few years later I don't know how it happened or why it happened but my once loving, caring and ever attentive mom became a drunk, came home late in the night with different men of different species, different nights, there was never a good time to talk to her because she was either drunk, busy with those men or out, even my once cherished house became an everyday party place, I couldn't even concentrate anymore, though I still love my mom but I feel like I needed to live a better life, I couldn't even find my dad again.
With all this uproar in my life , nothing seems interesting again so I decided to come stay with my cousin Cora, but I think I love the life in Canada an that reminds me.... Cora's so called 'best friend' what's that her name, she never let me be, I hope we don't meet and Cora never said anything about her so I guess am save, I just want to hear Cora's words and feel her support, I feel that she is the only person I can tell any thing whatsoever, though didn't tell her I am going to be living in Beverly hills shes sure goino be shocked.
I must have been in deep thought for a while since didn't realize I have reached my destination.
"Thank you" the taxi driver told me as I handed him the money, I didn't bother answering there is no use being polite am not that kind of person.
Mabel's POV
This is the third time am calling cora, asking her if ken is already in Beverly hills, and all I get is not yet, no, but this time she said yes and my head is booting.
What should I do, what should I wear, I wouldn't show up today I guess tomorrow will be good so it will seem like a mere coincidence I even told cora not to say a word about me to him and even if he asks, that is if he does ask, she should not give him any important detail.
Cora's POV
Mabel has been calling me for the past few hours and all she ask about is ken ken ken, I could sense through the phone that she was very nervous, after all these years I can't believe she still likes him, I could never like someone for that long not if the person obviously doesn't want to have anything to d with me but I guess mabel is different.
"Hey Cora" ken called me from the balcony, I smiled that was ken's favorite place in the house and still is.
"Cora" he called me again snapping me out of my thought, I guess he wanted to talk and I do miss talking to him, though we talk on phone but it could never beat talking to him while looking at him, he's the only cousin and sibling I gat, both of us are the only child of our parent, so he is a big brother and that role suits him perfectly.
"Corey, you won't make me call you fifty more times before you answer me, will you?" Huh, I didn't realize it, I have been so deep in thought 'again' an did he just call me corey? Awww...been long I heard that.
"Ken, give me a sec I will join you and seriously stop shouting my name someone will think you wer in a shouting contest" I said as I went to the balcony practically running
"You never stop cracking your lame jokes" he answered while I shoved him off smirking
"Easy corey, you wouldn't wanna turn your only cousin handicap, will you" he was lying on the floor now holding his side were i had hit him. I stretched my hand, he held onto it and got up.
"Corey you know when I was coming here I thought I was going to miss Canada like never before but seeing you made me feel like am home and in a better place..." He said and continued by telling me all that had happened back home, and I felt for him.
"Hey corey, what has been going on with you lately, any guy or 'guys" he smirked while saying the word guys and I smirked back
"Nothing eventful, just the norms, wake up, go to school, come home.
"Are you sure, no guy?" He asked winking
"Nope Na no, no ones asked me out, and as you know, I don't crush on guys for long so am happy and free" I said smiling like it was an achievement and he smiled too.
"Hmm...corey you know I'll be staying, like am not going back home, I want to live here" wow that was shocking, but I think I'll love it, I couldn't be any glad
"Dear cousin ken, I will hereby be happy, like so happy to inform you that you can stay as long as yo want, provided you be a good boy while you are here" I said giggling, he just smiled and pulled me into a bear hug.

Chapter 11

I was so tired. I hadn't had much rest and I've got work to do tomorrow. I'm gonna have to call a meeting in the office so we'd start off our projects. I'm way behind time and the deadline's on Friday.
I parked the car in Quinn's garage then I got Gabby's things out the car. I knocked at the door so many times before she answered.
"Gosh, Luke! Its 11:30pm. Couldn't you guys just sleep at her parent's?" She asked angrily.
"I'm sorry to wake you but, you need to come get Gabby. She's really tired and I can't carry her out of her own will" I said politely.
"Well, do you expect me to carry her? Of course you'd carry her. I'll hold the door for you" she whined walking past me to the passenger door.
I opened the door, carried her in my arms while Quinn held the door. I carefully placed her on the couch. Reached for a blanket where I suspected Quinn was using and covered her up anyways.
"There, there"
"Good night then Quinn" I said leaving her place.
She escorted me to the door waving a good bye to me.
I'm not sure I'll have that sleep I wanted but I sure want to get my project done before Friday. First thing tomorrow morning, 5am. I'll be at work. I can't let the company loose this contract.
***
Next morning
Gabrielle's prov:
"Luke?" I whispered.
"I'm here, I'm here" he said kissing my lips softly, holding my waist with one hand and caressing my breasts with the other.
I moan at his touch causing him to deepen our kiss.
He pulled away, looking into my eyes he said "Gabby I'm in love with you"
I pulled him closer to me, our lips interlocked perfectly. The next thing I knew, we were on his bed. His blue eyes got darker and his hair damp with sweat.
"I want you to moan" I whispered.
"Make me" he whispered back kissing my neck going down to my chest.
"Mmmmh.. Luke..w..ait" I mumbled.
"Gabby!!" I heard someone call.
"Gabby!! Dammit, wake up! You'll be late for work!! the voice much clear now. It sounded like Quincy's.
I opened my eyes to find her beside me. I got up sluggishly.
"What time is it?" I ask
"6:15! God, you sleep like a wood" she said angrily leaving the room.
I walked to the bathroom. I had this weird feeling. I can't seem to understand but it's nothing good. I gave my face a wake up was h then quickly took m bath. I wore Quinn's black leather jacket and her black trousers.
She sure got great choice of clothes. I brushed my hair and did my normal light make up.
Quinn already prepared pancakes so I just ate breakfast with her.
"I had the stupidest and most uncomfortable dream Quinn" I said slowly chewing my pancake.
"Oooh dreams. Me like. Tell me" she said rubbing her palms together.
"Luke, he... We... We were smooching! And almost had sex!" I said almost irritated at my own words.
The pancake in her hand fell off "w...what?!" Her eyes went agape and then she busted into endless laughter.
I didn't ask her anything else. I just kept eating unti she was done with her ridiculousness.
" I'm sorry baby girl but it's really funny you're feeling upset about it. C'mon Gabby, it's just a bloody dream. Nothing more" she laughed again.
I mimicked her words then got up to leave for work. I packed up my things into my car.
"Thanks Quinn, it was really fun spending the weekend with you" I said giving her a hug.
"Absolutely. And babe? Take your mind off that dream before it gets in your head" she hit me playfully.
I drove off in a hurry. Nothing on earth was stoppin me from getting that taser. Lucky me, the sales guy was outside his shop.
"Hi, good morning. You got a taser?" I asked as polite as I could.
"Morning Angel, I sure do. Hold on a bit okay love?" He said smirking at me.
I was running late but it was worth it. He came out handing me the device and I paid him with my credit card.
I got into the reception. Rosie wasn't there. Maybe I ain't the only one coming in late these days. I changed into my uniform then went on to carry out my work.
The office seemed empty. Even Luke's office. This i weird, has rapture taken place? I ran outside to check. Nope, everything was normal.
At exactly 12pm, everyone started coming out of th boardroom. I ran into my locker room. I don't wann see his face. Sheesh... I hate dreaming about someone then waking up feeling different about them.
There was a knock at the door. Lord.. I prayed it wasn't him. I opened the door to see Milton(some guy who has been checking me out ever since I started working here). He was a cute Blondie. Quite my age or younger. But naaah Boy Bye.
"Hey Gabby, uhm do you mind if I have a word with you?" His deep voice sounded all over my little room.
"Okay, no problems" I said stepping out and closing the door behind me.
"There's this concert my cousin's holding up and I was wondering if you'd like to come with me. No strings attached, just two colleagues going out on a concert." He said smiling broadly.
I felt sad for him. After mustering up the courage to finally talk to me, he was gonna be disappointed. If it were before, I would've accepted to go with him but then again..I had a weird dream. It might not b Luke probably someone else and God is trying to warn me. Thank you Lord. Ain't no guy gon' have my ass.
I chuckled "Milly, when's the concert?"
"Oh, Friday night. By...by 7pm at Royal Stay." He said nervously.
"I can't seem to know my schedules on Friday but I'll think about it. Don't get your hopes up though" I told him with a warm smile.
He nodded and left.
I haven't seen Luke all day, should I stop by his office to say "hi?" No no he's probably busy. I'm jus gonna mind my own business. Though I haven't thanked him for getting me home last night or even paying my brother's hospital bills. I don't want him to think of me as an ungrateful bitch. Perhaps I should call him? But I don't have his phone number Shit.
I walked to the reception to find Rosie back. She was wearing a heavy make up unlike her. Her hair parked in a messy something that didn't look anything like a bun. I'm guessing she just had a manicure cause she took her time in handling the keyboard.
"What's up girlie" I tease
"Oh hi Gabby, arrived late again? " she didn't seem in a good mood today.
"Yeah...you okay? You don't look alright. Someone get you mad?" I say playing with my hair.
"Urrrgh!! I hate your boss!" She said brusquely.
"What did he do?" I rolled my eyes.
She pulled me closer "All this, all of this" she gestured.
"I had myself look attractive for him but he didn't even look at me! All he did was talk about this boring project!" She said hitting the table.
I felt a little jealous I can't seem to know why. Whatever, if she likes him it's no big deal.
"Easy there Tiger, you should just be yourself. If he loves you for it, wonderful! If he doesn't, fine. Don't kill yourself for a guy. You really don't look pretty sulking" I tease and she smiled.
"Get outta here you crazy thing!" She playfully threw paper balls at me.
"I ain't gonna pick those up I hope you know" I said before running off.
We closed pretty early today and I still haven't seen Luke. Hope he's alright. Wouldn't want one of my friends falling ill.
Well, I'm gonna have a long bath when I get home, change my nail Polish and have a me time. I bough the walking dead series on my way home.
While other girls preferred to watch mean girls 1&2 I preferred to lock myself up in my house, popcorn i my left arm, remote in my right arm..watching walking dead.

Mabel's pov
Am Mabel Forbes,16 years old, I live with my parent younger brother and sister in the heart of Beverly hills' in st gofamint and I attend the prestigious st gofamint high school. My best friend's name is cora we've been best of friends ever since kindergarten ti now, though we don't get along well most of the time but we still remain best friends and one of those days when we don't get along well is today, we had a big quarrel just because of some guy,she was such a big mouth. Though am guessing why she did it, because she knows am not always serious with my crushing' which is true but I still felt embarrassed and very pissed.
"Mab' you not looking good today, did you get into a fight with cora 'again' or are you having boy problems", mum said with a smirk emphasizing on the 'again' word. Aarrgh how does she do it, she always know just what was wrong with me, well she's my mum like she always tell me, but I still ask her just to pull her legs.
"Mum, how do you know just what bother's me? I think you're a genius"
"Oh baby, it b'cause am your mother...."just what I thought, any other word she wants to say doesn't matter anyways, that is just what I wanted to know. I think I hear my stomach growl, I didn't even notic have not eaten for 12 hours hmmm since morning, is it 12 hours? maybe,whatever....
"Mum..." I need something to fill this stomach of mine.
Cora's POV
I think I'll have to apologize to Mabel, though I don' think I have to, I mean it wasn't anything new whenever she says she has a crush on someone, this morning after our first class she told me she had a crush on a guy in our class and I thought it was a joke, I told the class and we just laughed about it but she took it personal, I wasn't expecting it and i dont know why she always get mad at me for the slightest issue, in class the other children call us best enemies and sometimes I think its true.... ughh...anyways apart from Mabel am more confused right now, my parents are getting a divorce, well its really not a new thing cause' my mum is always ranting on and on about it for the past few years but I never knew it was going to happen, I think they already started the court proceeds and I really need someone to talk to right now, I think I need to meet Mabel, even if that means begging for hours or I should just call her, I picked up my phone and dialed her number, its rang for a while, no response... Omg, is she that angry with me and I have some good news for her, so I tried calling her again hoping she will pick, then she did..."hi m..ab" I stuttered
"Huh...guess who is calling, big mouth, I didn't kno you still had my number" Mabel is fond of doing tha whenever I apologised first, so rather than get angry I just go straight to the point
"Mab am so sorry, I know I was being a big mouth, but I didn't know you were going to get angry, I just wanted to make a joke out of it , I have something more important to tell you"
"Whatever, speak" she blurted
"Ken called me and...." I hardly finished my statement when she screamed
"OMFG, ken did what? You're kidding right, what did he say, I bet he asked of me, did he...."
And that was how the conversation started, she totally forgot that some minutes ago we weren't on good terms and we started talking.
Well, you might be curious as to who ken is that made her forget all of her anger, he is my ' freaging ' hot cousin that Mabel has had a crush on in like forever....
Mabel's POV
Phone rings.....no answer
Phone rings again....
Well look who's calling, thinking of the devil
I had to be rude cause I know she called to apologize, funny enough I am not angry anymore bu playing hard to get was fun.
"OMFG, ken did what? You're kidding right, what did he say, I bet he asked of me, did he? Did you tell him I've been thinking of him, does he know am stil single". I didn't know where those words came from and I didn't care, have had a crush on ken almost all my life and when I hear the word ken, my heart fly miles away than I can never imagine, and cora i actually telling me ken is coming to Beverly hills an I can't help but scream, I know its weird but he's just like a celebrity to me and I don't exactly know why I like him but I practically drool all over him when I see him, fine he's cute, hot, but he is so obnoxious, the only person he's always nice to and seem to show his 'good' side to is Cora, and the onl reason he talks to me is because am Cora's best friend, I bet he doesn't talk to any other girl.
I haven't seen him since I was 14, and now I had to act like I was a big girl, I should act like am over him, I had to do it maybe then it will work out.

Chapter 4 part 1

All through the night,I kept on thinking about Aiden,that little smirk displayed on his beautiful face. But I didn't forget about his cockiness,I smiled slightly hugging my duvet. Yeah,call me a
love sick puppy. I knew I was only infatuated by his good looks but there was something more that I couldn't lay my fingers on.
I woke up thirty minutes before my alarm went off and quickly had my bath,I was a little joyous today so I decided to comb my curly dark brown hair. But seeing my hair was as stubborn as me it didn't bulg instead making it even curlier I don't know if it's possible. Frustrated,I signed and dropped the comb in defeat and went into my closet scanning for a perfect outfit to match with my positive attitude today. I wasn't really a fashionista or paid attention to good outfit combos but I pulled through looking my best.
I was confused staring at the section of dresses,jeans,jackets and tops,so I settled in for skinny jeans and halter top with a matching converse,I went to my mirror stand and got out a mascara and applied it to my eyelashes with a lip gloss. Viola,my everyday makeup,not more than a minute.
Went downstairs to see mum smiling on the phone, wow,mum's got a date.
"So who's the lucky man huh?" I teased my mum,slightly nudging her arm playfully,she glared at me and continued her conversation upstairs.
After dad left us ten years ago. Mum didn't go on dates for about two years owning to the shock she had. My Dad got married immediately they got divorced and has two children with a different woman,I heard she was Asian.
Then Mum started going on few dates which didn't end well,she didn't take the relationships too far. I guess she played safe not to get hurt again.
___
the hallway was filled with kids either bickering or laughing about something unrelated to school work. I got to my green locker,monotonously loading it with hard cover textbooks and notepads then closed and locked it shut. I was about going to the spot I saw on my way to school since I was fifteen minutes early until..
"Are you related to Kim K?,cause that butt sure look like it is" I heard a cocky voice say behind me,the nerves. My butt wasn't even big,I had a medium sized butt thank you very much.
I glared at the person no other than Sam,the Asher guy with the highest amount of girls laid. I rolled m eyes at his gorgeous figure.
"Are you a banana?,because I find you a-PEEL-ing" Oh God,what the heck is wrong with this dude.
"I think you need to see a doctor Sam,it's an advice you know" I said and was about walking away when he stood at my front wearing a smirk.
"I did see a doctor,but guess what he said?" He asked peering at me.
"That you needed a vitamin YOU" I rolled my eyes "Sam like I said,cheesy puns or pick up lines don't work with me" I folded my hands smiling. He shook his head disappointingly then smiled.
"You must be my backyard Tamara,cause I really DI you" he said confidently with a wink.
I glared at him and said "not even close,ain't you tired of trying?"
"Girls will die to get one of my famous lines you know Sugar"
"Well that's the problem,I'm not them twinkle toes" I retorted back.
"There's more Tamara,there's more"
"Can't wait Sam,can't wait" I mimicked him seeing that it was my cue to leave and I took it dashing off to my new favourite spot beside our school's footbal field. I settled down on the grass,and took out my pocket note and started to scribble random words and an attempt to draw the beautiful flowers around the field side lines but shamelessly failed since I had no talents,then I felt something move from the little tree,then boom it's was in front of my very eyes,beautiful bright blue eyes staring at my hazel ones not even blinking..

Chapter 10


The next few days went by quickly.
The next few days were so boring.
Boring and quick - not a good pair.
But you know the fun part? Who am I kidding, there was no fun part. My life was boring. I sat in the reception thinking about Milton's offer. I needed to shake some negative things off my life. I needed to get wild for a while.
Yeah, I'm definitely gonna go with him to the concert.
I was on my way to give him the good news when I bumped into Luke at the hallway.
"Oh sorry" I muttered.
"Yeah, you okay? Haven't seen you in what? Like two years now" he teased.
"I'm pretty sure it's just two days" I laugh.
"And I've been wanting to see you but thought you were busy. Rosie said you guys had a project to work on" I said.
"Yeah, yeah a pretty hard project I tell you. You know, we needed to hire a model for our advertisement but so far none has showed up. I'm loosing hope" he ran his hands through his hair slightly messing it up but it seemed like they obey his touch cause they fell back in place.
"Mmhh okay, don't you worry. It'll be fine" I say trying to leave him so I could catch up with Milton.
"Can I have your number?" He said in his deep British accent, holding me back.
I was kinda surprised at first, guys don't usually ask for my number in such manner. They usually use these weird pick up lines.
"Oh please don't feel uncomfortable Gabby, I've got Quinn's and Edwin's. I need yours too. Just in case.." He looks at me with those pretty blue eyes of his.
"Okay okay, whatever. No night calls" I said typing i in his cell. He gave me a flash immediately and I saved his number before taking off.
I went into the office where all the clerks worked. I see Milton at his table full of paper works. His blonde hair slightly falling into his face and his brows furrowed, possibly getting confused but hey, I cared less.
"Hey, Milly..so sorry to disturb you" I said gesturing at his papers.
"Oh no no..it's fine, c'mon let's go outside. It's better there" he insisted and I nod.
Luke was having a talk with Rosie when we walked past them, I could feel his stare all over me.
I don't know but I didn't like the thought of him been with Rosie especially after what she told me. Was I jealous? No, hell no. I mean why would I be? I didn't have any feelings for him whatsoever and he's not my boyfriend.
If he wanted to date anyone in the office he's hella free. I don't care.
"Okay, so you thought about my proposal?" Milton interrupted my stupid thoughts.
"Yes, Absolutely. I'll go with you to the concert" I giggled.
He seemed so happy he lifted me off my feet.
"Whoa whoa.. I didn't accept to marry you. Its just concert." I huff pushing him away.
"Oh I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to. I'm just really excited. I was expecting a no" he apologized rubbin his hand behind his neck shyly.
I looked inside the reception to see Luke glaring.
Pffffft.. Really? Wtf? I glared back at him and he walked out leaving poor Rosie clueless.
"So you'd pick me up at uhm..let's say 7:00pm? Gimme your contact so I can text you my house address".
I scribbled down Lord's way 2 block A Behind Pep's Pet Store on a piece of paper. We exchanged contacts and he left feeling like a school kid who just got straight A's on a test.
**
My hand reaches my phone through the dark, the power was bad and I groan at having to read the time on the bright screen. 5:07am.
I pull the blankets off me, turned the shower on while I slowly prepared for work just to pass time.
I had to prepare spaghetti and sauce for breakfast, but it seemed time got back at me cause it was no 7:15am and the sauce wasn't ready.
I just turned off the gas, put the half done sauce in the freezer. I don't want to get to work late today. I need to finish off early for the concert.
Just like the rest of the days in this week, today was worse. It was really hot and the power hasn't been restored back. Workers going to and fro lookin for where to photocopy files. The place was stuffy a hell.
I on the other hand had no problem except that I hated sweating. It was just so uncomfortable!
I don't know where the hell Luke was but, he better fix this (like he works at the power station) else I'm gonna have to find some other job..probably as an ice cream sales girl.
Working on a bad power was the worst thing ever I swear..think about it, you've got to sweat all through! Endlessly! Even after you're done.
I quickly round off with everything, left early with the excuse of I had a lady problem . I got home and luckily, the power was back on. I took a hot shower dried and straightened my long dark hair. I picked out a black Tee shirt with the words Rock o n written boldly on them, my blue crazy jeans and black sneakers to wear for the concert with Milton.
I didn't waste much time, I applied a liner and a lip gloss (my temporary love for them though).
I heard my doorbell ring. I ran to open it to find Milton looking so....cool. His blonde hair semi-messed up but it made him look kinda hot. His perfect jawlines. He looked really hot.
"You look amazing Gabby" he scanned me.
I smile and felt a little blush sweep in my cheeks.
"C'mon, let's get going" he grabbed my hands and led me to the car. He opened the car door for me.. must fess, I'm really impressed by his demeanor.
We drove for like 40 minutes before we arrived at this hotel..really big and weird that they chose to hold a concert in here. Of course I carried my taser in my bag just in case he decides to do something funny.
We got inside the hotel..it seemed more like a party than a concert.
"I thought you said it was a concert!!" I yelled trying to get him hear me cause of the loud music.
"I thought it was honestly. I think my cousin tricked me" he said holding my hands as we find our way t the bar.
Or he lied.
Maybe this was just what I needed. A party. Get wild for a while, have fun.
"You got liquor" I ask the bartender immediately I get on the chair.
Milton looks at me, surprised that I drink I guess. It's been a while.. Like three months if I'm not wrong. It won't hurt to go back to it.
"What?" I slur at him.
"Forgive me but I didn't think you're the kind of person to drink" he said ordering a Scotch.
I laugh hard " me too Milly, me too. You drink too so that makes the two of us" I took a shot at my liquor.
"Mmmh! Shit, that felt great! Try mine" I said takin his.
This went on for hours and we decided to hit the dance floor. We danced for a few minutes..grinding, twerking and twisting our hearts out. I cared less about anything else.
I went back to the bar to drink while Milton made out with some hot chick he was flirting with earlier.
I'm glad this isn't a date and that I don't like him. I wonder why we haven't been talking. He's a hell of a guy(in a good way) he's fun, mad fun to be with.
I felt the building turn upside down. The bartender went from three to six, the crazy people started to form weird shapes and my lids closed gradually.
thud!!
My face slammed at the table.
"Oooooouch...can't you be less painful dork?" I curse at the table. Mumbling other things to myself before everything went blank.

"Oh my God, its burning." Katie screamed as she ra towards the gas cooker and turned it off, using a cooking fork to stir the egg she was frying. "The egg or your heart?" Tess asked her. They were both in the kitchen preparing breakfast of egg, soft bread, jam and some French Fies. Tess came to her and handed her a cup of coffee, she held hers too. Tess was a redhead, though still beautiful, you could call her a brunette, she wasn't as slender as Katie but she wasn't too fat, her skin was as smooth and white as snow White's. Katie had always been jealous of her beauty and figure. She rested on the kitchen table now just as Katie arranged the egg sh fried into the soft bread and spread jam on each bread. "Tess, my heart isn't burning and small thing like this can't affect me. I'm never going back to him." Katie said just as she walked pass Tess to th refrigerator after sipping out of her coffee and dropping it. She got two soft drinks from the refrigerator and walked straight to the dining while Tess trolled behind her, still wanting to hear more. "Its the reason he came here, for you." Katie arranged the ready-made bread on the table and walked back to the kitchen to bring some plates and the soft drinks. "I know Tony better than that Tess, he is far from letting a girl be the reason for his decisions. He is here for a reason and that, I don't care about." She placed everything on the dining an went to bring two glasses for the drinks. "Are you saying all of this because its what you think or its because of Fred?" Tess pressed just as she assisted in bringing the french fies to the dining and they arranged the plates well.
Oh Fred, she remembered how he had brought her home. He didn't kiss her, and she wondered why. She would have thought he thought her too ugly to until he told her how beautiful she was and how sh was making him go crazy, he kissed her on the forehead after all and they departed with the statement 'we shall see'. Meaning it was still not going to end there. The way things were going was confusing Katie and sometimes, everything felt like i was planned and was not a coincidence. "You should know me too well that I don't make decision 'cos of anybody and definitely not a stranger that I just met two days ago. Something I can say for sur is that Tony didn't come here just for me and he doesn't want me back, he wants something through me and I don't intend on giving him anything he wants." They both settled down to eat. "You think its sex?" Tess asked. "Nope, something more, it can't be sex. Why would he come back for the same reason we broke up after knowing fully well I ain't ready to give him anything? Its something different" And her mind told her it was something dangerous. She wasn't ready for any distractions as she came here mainly for work. She already had an appointment with Georgina the next week and she needed to prepare her questions and her work tools. She needed to free her mind from whatsoever was happening because the mind does every work, the body is just a means.
Tess prayed. "We thank you God for the gift of this food and for the lives of the people about to eat it. We pray that we may always see reasons to thank you as we would never lack, bless us and keep us safe from any harm, we pray through Christ our Lord." Katie responded "Amen." Just as they were about to eat, a knock was heard on the door and they were both surprised. "Maybe its Danny, I'd go get it." Tess said and went to the door. Katie took one of the bread and started eating, savouring the sweetness and opening one of the soft drinks. Tess was taking long and she didn't hear any sound of someone entering. She decided to stand to up see who it was. She walked to the entrance and saw Tess, backing her, arguing with someone. "Tess who is it? " Tess looked back. "Katie I told him you don't wanna see him." Katie moved closer. "Who is...." Just then Tony's face showed from the door. What the hell was he doing here and how did he know where she was staying, this son of a bitch. He pushed his way past Tess and walked to her just as Tess closed the door behind him. "What are you doing here?" Katie demanded, stepping him in his tracks. "I came to see you." He said.
"What part of I don't want you back don't you understand?" She asked. Tess walked past them, "I'd leave you two to talk." And she left. "Katie, no matter what you do, you can't get me away from you." He said, he wore a tight jean and a designer top that showed his figure well from head to toe, he had always been handsome even when casual or official. "Well, I ain't stopping you. You can chase a far as you can, none of my business, now if you'd let me, I will escort you to the door." She said and was about walking by his side to the door when he held her arm to stop her. Then knowing not where i came from or how it happened, she felt his mouth on hers in a very deep kiss, he continued kissing her until he stopped and stepped back. She felt him on her lips, she remembered how passionate their kiss used to be and how close they always were. She remembered how she had cherished him above all things and left her goal just to be with him until she lost her first job because of him. But he proved he wasn't worth it. "Do you remember Katie, how our kiss used to be? How it used to feel? How you had always wanted more. Tell me you don't, tell me you ain't still affected by me, tell me you don't want me back." His voice was hoarse and rough and passionate that she was tempted to wrap her arms around him shouting she wanted him back in her heart and in her bed. But she knew too well than to do all that. Apart from not being cheap, she wasn't stupid too. She didn't expect everything to be norma by her affirmation that she wanted him back. Things would never be the same and she wasn't ready to g into a relationship that would be half heartened. Katie raised her chin up, walked up to him and face him eyeball to eyeball. "Tony Lorrel, you don't affect me anymore, I feel nothing for you anymore and lastly, I don't want you back and never will, understood? Now get OUT." she said and pointed to the door for him to leave. He smiled in a way that told Katie he wasn't affected by her harsh words, then he walked out.
She didn't want him back but those words, she kne deep down in her heart that she didn't mean them fully. She would die before she let him realise that. Besides, she might still have something for him, but she wasn't going back to him. Not ever!!!

Chapter 5 part 1

"Hi Ms Daniels,you look so young,with your new hairdo complementing your look " I chirped excitedly to one of our neighbours whilst passing the shortcut leading to my house.
"Oh thank you Gabriella" she blushed spreading her wet clothes on the rope. I simply nodded at her.
I walked on a narrowed path along the road just because I preferred it,it's a lot more fun than taking the main path.
"Hey Mr Williams,nice hair cut" I waved at yet another neighbour showing him my perfect smile.
He chuckled and patted my back.
"Gabriella!"," Gabby!!",Gab!!!" I heard three tiny voice yell my name,trying to hold back my smile. I saw our mischievous trio Josh,Jasmine,and Jerry sprinting towards my direction.
"I'm so gonna kick your asses" Jasmine looked back at her two brothers holding her laughter,she smiled in victory knowing full well she won the race. Jasmine is like the 7 year old version of me,sarcastic,energetic, smart,and most of all funny.
"Gabriella,those two think that they can beat me" she said rolling her eyes while tugging at the hem o my shirt.
"Jas,you cheated" Jerry stomped his foot angrily, then clicked his tongue in annoyance sending daggers at her.
"No I didn't"
"Yes you did",a different voice answered. We all turned to Josh who is touching his kneel with both hands still panting. I laughed at his expression of laziness.
"Guys we all know that Jasmine is faster compared to the rest of you two- you guys are slow as a snail" I decided to butt in.
"No! she is a little she devil who tries to swallow her preys alive" Jerry yelled, earning a slap on the head from Jasmine,he rubbed his blonde hair sending me a look which read 'you see'.
"Who ate my chocolate pie!" I heard an elderly woman yell from the little town house close by.
"Someone's in trouble" jasmine sang.
Josh bowed his head in shame, "Mum won't let me go this time" he muttered solemnly shaking his head.
"Well why don't you find out by telling her the truth" I advised raising his head to look at me. I cleaned his little tears with my thumbs and patted his back reassuringly.
"Yes Josh,Gabby is right,she always is". Jerry smiled hugging me lightly I bent down and took them all in a tight hug,then they all ran off pushing each other.
Wow,it's really nice having triplets I guess, but the ranting and shouts coming from their Mum says otherwise.
I continued to walk waving to as many people." You look great Nelly,and nice cookie by the way"
"Thanks G"
"Right back at ya dude" I smirked giving her a thumbs up. She looked at me confusedly at the name but smiled nevertheless.
"Gabriella" I looked down to see little Michael hugging my kneels,I took the 4 year old in a hug.
"What do you have there little one?" I asked looking at his covered palm..

Fred sat alone patiently waiting for his date to com back. He had not been able to get his eyes off her since she emerged from the car an hour ago. She was looking extremely beautiful tonight and to top it all, she was sexy. The gown was specially made for her as was fit for her slim body. Her beauty made him speechless all night, he wondered how he woul have coped if not for his friend, Tony. He had seen many more beautiful women but this woman was different, he was meant to get away with his attraction but seeing her tonight made him feel more attracted. He couldn't wait to touch her and feel her all over him. She was affecting him badly, she occupied his thoughts and was making him lose control of his mind. He saw Tony walk back first. There was something not right about him and Katie, he'd better hoped it wasn't what he was thinking. The thought of Katie being with Tony made him jealous. Hell, he hated the feeling. He was never jealous of anyone, Katie made him feel things he has never felt before and it was getting out of hand. "What a nice date you've got there." Tony said. He remembered the first day Tony walked into his office, all worked out. His business had been dying and he needed Fred's money to maintain it. Fred didn't wanna buy 40% of his company's shares to save it from dying but Tony had said he was workin for Georgina Huckings, the successful business woman who was yet to show her face to the public, yet had been doing a lot of charity, philanthropy and partnership. Her companies were the ones booming right now and Fred intended on getting to her through Tony. He seemed to wonder why Tony hadn't gone to meet his boss for help, but then he thought about it, maybe Miss Huckings also wanted to know him too because Fred was proving to be a big challenge to her leadership of the market. He wasn't going to let any so-called business woman take business away from his companies. "Very beautiful isn't she?" Fred gently took his wine on the table and sipped while eyeing Tony. "Yes, very beautiful, I've always known her to be." Fred knew he was expecting the question so he asked. "Always known her?" Tony smiled. "Yes, it isn't the first tim we meeting, she was or is rather, a close acquaintance of mine, if you'd understand" oh yeah he did, he understood quite clearly. Fred dropped his glass and faced Tony closely. "I do, but what I don't seem to understand is how you could let a great girl like Katie go." He waited patiently for the reply. "Trust me, if it were to be under any other circumstance, wouldn't have. But some things are better left unsaid, anyway, this time around, I'm never going to let her go." He wanted Katie back, it was obvious. He also knew Katie was his date, that must be the reason he met him blocks away from the hotel and made it look like a coincidence. Fred was smart and even though he didn't know all the story, he knew Katie didn't want him back, she didn't have to tell him. And he was just going to do as she wanted, he also didn't want her with him. H wasn't going to let her go back to him, no he wasn't He felt a sense of protectiveness and ownership towards her but he didn't care about any of that, he just couldn't imagine Katie with another man, and not especially Tony. He was here to prove she didn't affect him but things already got worse, he couldn't back out now. "Stay away from her, she can't ever be yours anymore." Fred warned. He couldn't believe he was protecting a girl, he never did that and definitely not a girl that he had just met a day ago, how ironic. Tony chuckled, "the same way she can't ever be yours? Listen, I know Katie more than you do, and you can't keep up with her, trust me, only I know who she really is and everything about her." Fred smiled now, Tony might have known her for a long time but Fred felt he knew her for long too even though it was just a day. "Well, you can say that again. Knowing won't make her go back to you. I dunno anything about you guys but I can say for sure that anything you guys had between you two..... is definitely over." Fred smiled wickedly, he never lost and he wasn't going to lose this challenge. "Let's see who turns out right." Tony als relaxed, it wasn't going to be an easy challenge but he was willing to take it anyway. "Copy that. "
Just then Katie walked out of the restroom and took her seat in front of him, still looking so beautiful and innocent. And at that moment, he knew she belonged to him. He wasn't planning on loving her or having a relationship with her, but he was willing to win the challenge and after all of tha was over, he would go his way and forget he was ever attracted to a dangerous girl called Katie. She was a distraction and he hated distractions, he couldn't wait to get rid of her. "Do you need anythin else?" He asked her. She flashed her eyelashes at him with a fake smile. He knew she wasn't comfortable with Tony around and he intended on taking advantage of that. "No thanks, I'm fine. It was a great day Fred and I appreciate a lot. It was nice meeting you Mr Lorrel, sorry, Tony, I think I should get going." She said and stood up. "Let me drop you at home." Tony also stood up. "She's my date, it just feels right to take her back home myself." Fred interrupted and stood up too and went to Katie. "Shall we." She nodded and he winked at Tony before leading her to the car. They both sat at the back seat and the chauffeur drove off.

I was so tired. I hadn't had much rest and I've got work to do tomorrow. I'm gonna have to call a meeting in the office so we'd start off our projects. I'm way behind time and the deadline's on Friday.
I parked the car in Quinn's garage then I got Gabby's things out the car. I knocked at the door so many times before she answered.
"Gosh, Luke! Its 11:30pm. Couldn't you guys just sleep at her parent's?" She asked angrily.
"I'm sorry to wake you but, you need to come get Gabby. She's really tired and I can't carry her out of her own will" I said politely.
"Well, do you expect me to carry her? Of course you'd carry her. I'll hold the door for you" she whined walking past me to the passenger door.
I opened the door, carried her in my arms while Quinn held the door. I carefully placed her on the couch. Reached for a blanket where I suspected Quinn was using and covered her up anyways.
"There, there"
"Good night then Quinn" I said leaving her place.
She escorted me to the door waving a good bye to me.
I'm not sure I'll have that sleep I wanted but I sure want to get my project done before Friday. First thing tomorrow morning, 5am. I'll be at work. I can't let the company loose this contract.
***
Next morning
Gabrielle's prov:
"Luke?" I whispered.
"I'm here, I'm here" he said kissing my lips softly, holding my waist with one hand and caressing my breasts with the other.
I moan at his touch causing him to deepen our kiss.
He pulled away, looking into my eyes he said "Gabby I'm in love with you"
I pulled him closer to me, our lips interlocked perfectly. The next thing I knew, we were on his bed. His blue eyes got darker and his hair damp with sweat.
"I want you to moan" I whispered.
"Make me" he whispered back kissing my neck going down to my chest.
"Mmmmh.. Luke..w..ait" I mumbled.
"Gabby!!" I heard someone call.
"Gabby!! Dammit, wake up! You'll be late for work!! the voice much clear now. It sounded like Quincy's.
I opened my eyes to find her beside me. I got up sluggishly.
"What time is it?" I ask
"6:15! God, you sleep like a wood" she said angrily leaving the room.
I walked to the bathroom. I had this weird feeling. I can't seem to understand but it's nothing good. I gave my face a wake up was h then quickly took m bath. I wore Quinn's black leather jacket and her black trousers.
She sure got great choice of clothes. I brushed my hair and did my normal light make up.
Quinn already prepared pancakes so I just ate breakfast with her.
"I had the stupidest and most uncomfortable dream Quinn" I said slowly chewing my pancake.
"Oooh dreams. Me like. Tell me" she said rubbing her palms together.
"Luke, he... We... We were smooching! And almost had sex!" I said almost irritated at my own words.
The pancake in her hand fell off "w...what?!" Her eyes went agape and then she busted into endless laughter.
I didn't ask her anything else. I just kept eating unti she was done with her ridiculousness.
" I'm sorry baby girl but it's really funny you're feeling upset about it. C'mon Gabby, it's just a bloody dream. Nothing more" she laughed again.
I mimicked her words then got up to leave for work. I packed up my things into my car.
"Thanks Quinn, it was really fun spending the weekend with you" I said giving her a hug.
"Absolutely. And babe? Take your mind off that dream before it gets in your head" she hit me playfully.
I drove off in a hurry. Nothing on earth was stoppin me from getting that taser. Lucky me, the sales guy was outside his shop.
"Hi, good morning. You got a taser?" I asked as polite as I could.
"Morning Angel, I sure do. Hold on a bit okay love?" He said smirking at me.
I was running late but it was worth it. He came out handing me the device and I paid him with my credit card.
I got into the reception. Rosie wasn't there. Maybe I ain't the only one coming in late these days. I changed into my uniform then went on to carry out my work.
The office seemed empty. Even Luke's office. This i weird, has rapture taken place? I ran outside to check. Nope, everything was normal.
At exactly 12pm, everyone started coming out of th boardroom. I ran into my locker room. I don't wann see his face. Sheesh... I hate dreaming about someone then waking up feeling different about them.
There was a knock at the door. Lord.. I prayed it wasn't him. I opened the door to see Milton(some guy who has been checking me out ever since I started working here). He was a cute Blondie. Quite my age or younger. But naaah Boy Bye.
"Hey Gabby, uhm do you mind if I have a word with you?" His deep voice sounded all over my little room.
"Okay, no problems" I said stepping out and closing the door behind me.
"There's this concert my cousin's holding up and I was wondering if you'd like to come with me. No strings attached, just two colleagues going out on a concert." He said smiling broadly.
I felt sad for him. After mustering up the courage to finally talk to me, he was gonna be disappointed. If it were before, I would've accepted to go with him but then again..I had a weird dream. It might not b Luke probably someone else and God is trying to warn me. Thank you Lord. Ain't no guy gon' have my ass.
I chuckled "Milly, when's the concert?"
"Oh, Friday night. By...by 7pm at Royal Stay." He said nervously.
"I can't seem to know my schedules on Friday but I'll think about it. Don't get your hopes up though" I told him with a warm smile.
He nodded and left.
I haven't seen Luke all day, should I stop by his office to say "hi?" No no he's probably busy. I'm jus gonna mind my own business. Though I haven't thanked him for getting me home last night or even paying my brother's hospital bills. I don't want him to think of me as an ungrateful bitch. Perhaps I should call him? But I don't have his phone number Shit.
I walked to the reception to find Rosie back. She was wearing a heavy make up unlike her. Her hair parked in a messy something that didn't look anything like a bun. I'm guessing she just had a manicure cause she took her time in handling the keyboard.
"What's up girlie" I tease
"Oh hi Gabby, arrived late again? " she didn't seem in a good mood today.
"Yeah...you okay? You don't look alright. Someone get you mad?" I say playing with my hair.
"Urrrgh!! I hate your boss!" She said brusquely.
"What did he do?" I rolled my eyes.
She pulled me closer "All this, all of this" she gestured.
"I had myself look attractive for him but he didn't even look at me! All he did was talk about this boring project!" She said hitting the table.
I felt a little jealous I can't seem to know why. Whatever, if she likes him it's no big deal.
"Easy there Tiger, you should just be yourself. If he loves you for it, wonderful! If he doesn't, fine. Don't kill yourself for a guy. You really don't look pretty sulking" I tease and she smiled.
"Get outta here you crazy thing!" She playfully threw paper balls at me.
"I ain't gonna pick those up I hope you know" I said before running off.
We closed pretty early today and I still haven't seen Luke. Hope he's alright. Wouldn't want one of my friends falling ill.
Well, I'm gonna have a long bath when I get home, change my nail Polish and have a me time. I bough the walking dead series on my way home.
While other girls preferred to watch mean girls 1&2 I preferred to lock myself up in my house, popcorn i my left arm, remote in my right arm..watching walking dead.

"Gosh, Helena. Its you, Helena! Helena!" Katie screamed as she woke up from her dream. "Katie what's wrong, are you okay?" She felt Tony closer to her. They were both on the bed and the room was extremely dark. No it wasn't a dream. It couldn't be a dream, it was reality. Then she saw it, she saw her cousin, her sister, just at the edge of her bed. How had she entered, couldn't Tony see her too? What was she doing here? "Helena, how did you get in here? You are dead, you are meant to be dead, Wayne killed you, how are you still alive?! " katie asked her. Helena was looking gorgeous but lifeless, she wore a long white robe and she was glowing and shining. Yes, Wayne had killed her that night, she had died instead of Katie. How was she still here, she was real, very real. "Come, follow me" Helena told her. Woow, she smiled at her, she wanted to hold her, she had to follow her and never let her die again. "Yes sis, I'm always with you" she got out of bed and continued following her, and following her, and following.....
"Katie!!!!!!" She turned to see Tony behind her, running to her. No, he shouldn't stop her, she was going to be with her sister and no one would separate them anymore. "She is calling me Tony, I've got to go" She told him "oh hell, you've got to be kidding me" The next thing, Tony dragged her back to the bed. She was pissed. "What are you doing, why couldn't you let me go? She asked me to follow her" Katie yelled. "Follow who? No one is there for crying out loud and you were just about to commit suicide, you were just about to jump off the window saying you wanna follow some sort of girl. Are you crazy or what!" Tony yelled back. Katie tried to reason with him, Helena was gone already. Had she seen her ghost? She didn't believe in ghosts, it felt real, she felt real. "I'm sorry Tony, I didn't know what went wrong" She apologised. It wasn't the firs time, she used to see Helena everywhere, always calling to her, the other time, she might be in need to help and would call Katie to help her. Or Katie would see her falling through the window, just like the way she died. "No Katie, you are just insane, you have gone totally mad" Tony yelled. "Really?? Now I am mad? Thought I explained everything about me to you before we started dating...." Tony interrupted her "Yes you did, you had a horrible past bla bla, are u the only one who has a bad past? Are you the first person to? Why must you act insane? First you refused to let me touch you, now I have to put up with your insanity" Katie was pissed now. She was insane now? And he kept using the word insane, why? He claimed he loved her, why would h make mockery of her past and her fear? She had trusted him, yet this was what he thought of her all long. He pretended to have cared, he told her he would make her forget everything yet he was here calling her insane. "Is this about the dream or the fact that I didn't allow you to have sex with me?" Katie asked gently. "Both. I'm sick of everything, how long do I have to wait? What more would I have to endure? I'M so fed up right now" Tony said as he got off the bed and paced around. "Thought you loved me" Katie was hurt. He had always wanted her for sex after all, he had pretended to care about her past so he could get between her legs, well, it was good the truth came out at last. "Yeah, I did, but love has a limit you know" And tha was it. "Let's call it quits then" She said and stood up to start packing her luggage. She would leave first thing in the morning. "You know I never said that" Tony stood in her way. "You didn't have to"
And that was how everything ended, she hadn't felt really hurt because it wasn't a new thing, but the fact that she had high hopes that he could be different pissed her off, not hurt her. Was there anything that could hurt her? The relationship had been breaking since the time she refused him sex. His behaviour had changed but she chose to ignore it, hoping things would be better. It wasn't the first time she had had one of her dreams and hallucinations, he was just looking for an excuse to get rid of her and she already made it easy. He didn't care about her past, he was just after what h wanted and since he couldn't get it, he decided to let her go. Tonight was the perfect excuse. It ended between them.
Katie looked at him now, seated beside Fred as they ate their dinner quietly, he didn't look that disturbed by her presence and she also tried her best to ignor him. He wasn't worth it and he was the least of the persons to affect her. "Tony came to town months ago and started a business here. We became partners as i bought some of the shares of his company, came across him on my way here and he wanted to see you, my date" Fred smiled at her. He didn't know they weren't strangers, if not, he wouldn't be saying so much about Fred. "Nice meeting you again Mr Lorrel" Katie sent a smile to me. "Call me Tony" he returned it. Katie stood up t go to the restroom to gather herself and have a fre time. "If you'd excuse me, I will be back" She stood up and left. She stood at the restroom for a long time before she started to think. He'd better not be stalking her, he had clearly come for business so she should have no problem with that. He was a son of a bitch that she has nothing to do with anymore. He had thought her insane and crazy, he had made mockery of her, so she shouldn't feel disturbed about him. But she was disturbed, not because of him but because of Fred. He might tell him some things about her and that would change his opinion on her, she didn't want that. Besides, she had shared part of her past with Fred, the same thing she shared with Tony and he hadn't made mockery of her, at least not yet. Why was all this happening to her? She had come to Danpa to relax and see to the construction of her house. She had been transferred to this place for work and she decided to use the opportunity to complete her hous here. It would take about six months before everything would be over. She was a reporter and things were going on here, she was sent to make a report on Georgia Huckings, a successful millionaire that intended on coming to the public soon enough, she was going to learn about her and compose her story to present her to the public. By that, she must have to be able to answer all the questions of the press and that wasn't going to be possible until she learnt everything about Georgia, the new face of the public. Katie would soon reach that place, where it would be her that reporters would report about, she was also gonna be successful and that would be soon. She had all of that to think about and not being caught up in the middle of a date between he ex-boyfriend and her new friend- well, he was still a friend.
"I can see you are wearing my present to your... date" Katie looked back to see Tony walk up to her, smiling. "What are you doing here?" She demanded. "Oops, don't worry, I won't tell anything about us to your boyfriend, just chill, he won't find out if that's what you're scared about." Katie felt the anger boil inside her. "He is not my boyfriend" Even after knowing he didn't deserve an explanation, she still gave it. "Everything is just coincidental." She raised her chin up just as Tony walked closer to her. "Yes, I would've known, everything about Katie Laurens is always out of the ordinary." He was mocking her, she knew it, but she wouldn't get affected by that, she was way passed that. "Guess I'm the special one here then." She smiled at her reply. "Yeah, I would think so too." He tried to touch her but Katie shifted backwards. "You are still as beautiful as I remembered you to be, even more beautiful in the gown I gave to you. I knew it was gonna suit you well. And as fate may have it, as if knowing I would be here, you wore it. If it was under any other circumstance, would have thought you wore it to impress me." Katie smiled, he was trying his luck, but she knew better. "Tony you should know by now that I impress no one." She stood upright and faced him, showing she was scared of no one. "Yes, I always knew you to be spectacular and different, yo always had the guts in you." He said. Well, she was done with the conversation. "What are you doing here?" They both knew she wasn't talking about the restroom. "For you Katie, I came here for you, I want to have you back."

Gucciqueen38:
Nice one dear

Thanks

We got into the hospital, Quincy and Edwin were stil talking with mom. I couldn't hear them but all mom did was nod at whatever they said. I felt a little guilty for not putting myself in her shoes. Her family been torn apart and she's trying her best to keep it together but nothing seems to work out.
I hated hospitals. They had this really weird smell that made me feel uneasy. The last time I was in a hospital was when mom gave birth to Alberto, and I came just so we could take her back home.
I wanted the problems to end, I needed it to. I can't let my brothers grow up in a broken home. How would they raise their own homes? It's up to me to make their lives comfortable and to make them feel loved.
I stood up and walked over to where mom was.
"Hey guys, thank you so much for been here. I'm really lucky to have you both as friends. Thank you" I said to Quincy and Edwin.
"What are friends for?" Edwin responded.
"Yeah, just stay here and keep your mom company. You can come pick your things up at my place tomorrow" Quincy said hugging me.
I nod. They went to sit at the reception with Luke.
I turned to my mother who was staring at me softly. I took her hands in mine and said alas "I'm sorry I yelled at you mamma, I just hate what pappa is doing to us. It's so unfair."
"I know, I know child. But you're wrong when you say 'I'm unhappy'. You're here, your brothers are fine and your father.. Well, he's still alive. I'm satisfied Mi amór, don't you worry your pretty little heart." She told me cupping my cheeks and giving me a kiss on my forehead.
" I love you mamma" I said hugging her before she left to be with Alberto and I had to see Quincy and the others off.
We got to car, Quincy and Edwin hugged me goodbye. Luke seemed rather sad but tried to hide it. I hugged him goodbye and just as I was about to let go, he whispered something in my ear which sounded like "I love you".
I looked at him perplexed but he just smiled and got into the car.
I went back to the hospital and then to Alberto's room. Mom and George were already there. Alberto was asleep. I sat on his bed admiring his innocence
His long dark lashes closed. He had pretty brown eyes just like our mother. His brows covered by his fringe. His pink pouted lips. He looked adorable eve while looking pale.
I told mom to take George home with her while I stay the night with Alberto. After few minutes of refusal, she went home after all.
It was noontime now, so I decided to go see the doctor. I walked around but couldn't find his office.
" I'm so sorry ma'am but please, where can I find the doctor's office?" I asked a nurse.
After a minute of looking at me from head to toes, she answered.
"Oh, just down that hall. Over to the right. You'll se a White door with bold words 'Doctor Hamilton' written on it" she said smiling.
I think maybe it's because I was still in my PJ's, whatever. They have no idea what I'm going through. Change of clothes were the least of my worries right now.
I knocked at his door before getting in.
"Good afternoon, Doctor Hamilton. I'm Gabrielle Salvador.. Sister to Alberto Salvador. He was brough in here earlier this morning by my mother" I said watching him search for a file.
"Ah...yes. Welcome. Please have a sit. He's alright now right? I gave your mother drug prescriptions and I told your husband that your brother is fit as a fiddle to go. I'm surprised you're still here" he said taking his glasses off.
"Husband? What husband? Doctor I'm not married. Who was the man?" I asked giving him a confused look.
"Tall, brunette? He came in with you guys this morning" he said.
"Oh" I laughed.
"That's just my friend Doctor. Anyways, I came to find out about the bills." I said feeling a lump in my throat.
"That was settled by your tall friend" he responded returning to his paper work.
What? Why would Luke do that? When did he? I thanked the doctor before leaving his office.
I got back to Alberto's room to see him awake and beside him was Luke. Speak of the devil and he appears.
He was dressed in a black T-shirt and black trousers. He looked dangerously beautiful in black. His hair neatly combed, his blue eyes fixed on me a I walked in. I appreciate all he had done but I don't want him getting involved with my family.
"Sister!!!" Alberto cried cheerfully.
"Sweetheart! Oh my goodness, thank God you're awake and fine. " I say kissing his face.
"Luke? What're you doing here? I thought you left with Quinn. And why did you pay the bills too? You didn't have to That's just too much." I said still hugging my brother.
"Well, one after the other Gabby. I came to give you new clothes to change into as directed by Quinn. Everything you need is in here." He said raising a bag up.
"And..why I paid the bills? You're right. I didn't hav to. But, I chose to. Don't ask me why. Just pack up so I can take you to your parent's. Maybe we could get something on our way there for your brother." He stood up and walked outside.
Are you freaking kidding me?! Who the hell was THAT for? Me? Uh uh...I doubt.
"C'mon sis, let's pack up! You heard him. I don't like it here. I wanna go home to mommy" Alberto begged with those cute little eyes of his.
I smiled." Okay, but it's just because of you love. You deserve to be happy" I say kissing his forehead.
After packing up, Luke helped me get the things int the car and off we went out of the hospital premises.
"I saw this really good pizza place on my way here, you think we can get in and get something to eat? You must be hungry" he said smiling but still got hi eyes fixed on the road.
He was right, I am hungry. No matter how sad or upset I was, it never affected my appetite.
"Yes, please Sir" Alberto said from behind me.
Luke looked at me then back at the road.
"Okay okay geez..." I mumbled.
When we arrived at the pizza place, it was huge! I couldn't get in there looking like I'd gone insane.
"How am I supposed to go in there with my PJ's Luke. We should just go to my parent's. I need to shower too. Alberto?" I look at him for approval.
"No.. I want pizza! I want pizza!" He yelled making Luke laugh so hard.
"Well if he wasn't here how'd you think pizza would get to you? Quit it okay? Please, Let's go home." I beg him.
Luke held my hands and shook his head. "Gabby, let him have his pizza. You can sit in the car while we go get it to go. Alright?" He said softly.
"I... Okay,Fine. Get me like one too before I pass out." I chuckled.
They spent hours getting pizza and finally came out hands full.
"What took you guys so long?" I ask as he got into the car handing me my share and an energy drink.
"Thank you" I said.
"I'm sorry, we were the last to be served. That's why." He explained and we continued the drive.
Alberto cared less about the stranger who just bought him pizza. As long as he was nice enough to take him out, the stranger turns into his friend.

chapter 4 part 2
Oh no!
" What about the child,please tell me she didn't go with them" I rushed amidst of tears.
"I'm sorry my dear she went with them"
That does it. I laid down on the floor,crying,screaming and cursing myself for my misfortune. I agree with Luke,I'm nothing but a bad luck.
I covered my mouth with my hands screaming my lungs out, i' m doomed ,my baby,just give me one
more chance to correct my mistakes lord. I silently prayed.
The old woman squatted in my position looking down on me with pity,she gently brushed back my hair with her fingers, I gulped and faced her with my really unappealing face. I mean who cares right now.
"A problem shared is half solved my dear" she smiled lightly cleaning my face.
What do I do now,should I trust her,what if she insults me or tries to bail on me in the future,or should I at least confide in her. I picked the latter I narrated more of my life's history to her,she didn't interrupt, what amused me the most was that she didn't judge me and I really respect her for that.
"What if I never see her again,I don't want that please" I confessed whilst sniffing and trying to hold in more tears.
"Don't say that,she will come around even if it's in the future but she will come" she assured me taking my palm into hers.
"But i'm the cause of everything,now my two children are separated, I should be murdered right now to end all of this"
"Fine go commit suicide and end all this,don't forget that you have little Gabby to go home to,my dear don't just think about yourself,only think about your beautiful two children. " now I have seen where Daniella got her beauty traits from" she smiled hugging me
"Really?" I hugged her back.
"Really" she confirmed "don't think about all this too much,maybe its for the better who knowns" she shrugged standing up and trying to get me back on my feet too.
"Thank you so much ma'am, I wouldn't have taken this alright without you" I honestly thanked her.
She smiled adjusting her gown.
"Please call me Juliet I'm not as old as you think but- anyways you are always welcome just come here if you need an helping hand" she smiled looking at me.
"One more thing ma- I mean Juliet" I corrected my self,she smiled.
"Please don't tell anyone about this,I beg of you. It's better to keep it within us. I don't want any complications thereafter,can I trust you with that?" I took her hand looking really sincere now.
"Don't worry-" She paused for a second "you never told me your name"
"I'm Martha,Martha grey" I beamed cheerfully.
"Your secret is safe with me" she gestured while pretending to seal her mouth with her fingers and throwing the imaginary key away. I laughed at the minuscule act.
"I think it's time for me to go now" I told her wiping my face and running a hand through my already messy hair.
"You don't have to go now,why don't we go inside and have a drink" she pouted looking at me with pleading blue -green eyes.
"I would love to but-Gabriella must be awake now"
She nodded her head in understanding "and so you know I was the nanny of Mr Anderson,Daniella's foster dad. that's why i'm here actually,he treats me like his Mum since she died when he was a little kid" she frowned.
I hugged and thanked her for what looked like the hundredth time today "I won't ever forget you"
She nodded again saying the same,she waved at me signaling me to go.
I left not before looking at the building for the last time seeing Juliet's retreating figure going into the gate,I hugged myself feeling the tears all the way up. I won't ever see my baby again and that all it takes for me falling apart all over again.
That's pretty much how everything began. I almost
cried whilst writing this actually,but promise there
is still more to come.

We got into the hospital, Quincy and Edwin were still talking with mom. I couldn't hear them but all mom did was nod at whatever they said. I felt a little guilty for not putting myself in her shoes. Her family been torn apart and she's trying her best to keep it together but nothing seems to work out.
I hated hospitals. They had this really weird smell that made me feel uneasy. The last time I was in a hospital was when mom gave birth to Alberto, and I came just so we could take her back home.
I wanted the problems to end, I needed it to. I can't let my brothers grow up in a broken home. How would they raise their own homes? It's up to me to make their lives comfortable and to make them feel loved.
I stood up and walked over to where mom was.
"Hey guys, thank you so much for been here. I'm really lucky to have you both as friends. Thank you" I said to Quincy and Edwin.
"What are friends for?" Edwin responded.
"Yeah, just stay here and keep your mom company. You can come pick your things up at my place tomorrow" Quincy said hugging me.
I nod. They went to sit at the reception with Luke.
I turned to my mother who was staring at me softly. I took her hands in mine and said alas "I'm sorry I yelled at you mamma, I just hate what pappa is doing to us. It's so unfair."
"I know, I know child. But you're wrong when you say 'I'm unhappy'. You're here, your brothers are fine and your father.. Well, he's still alive. I'm satisfied Mi amór, don't you worry your pretty little heart." She told me cupping my cheeks and giving me a kiss on my forehead.
" I love you mamma" I said hugging her before she left to be with Alberto and I had to see Quincy and the others off.
We got to car, Quincy and Edwin hugged me goodbye. Luke seemed rather sad but tried to hide it. I hugged him goodbye and just as I was about to let go, he whispered something in my ear which sounded like "I love you".
I looked at him perplexed but he just smiled and got into the car.
I went back to the hospital and then to Alberto's room. Mom and George were already there. Alberto was asleep. I sat on his bed admiring his innocence.
His long dark lashes closed. He had pretty brown eyes just like our mother. His brows covered by his fringe. His pink pouted lips. He looked adorable even while looking pale.
I told mom to take George home with her while I stay the night with Alberto. After few minutes of refusal, she went home after all.
It was noontime now, so I decided to go see the doctor. I walked around but couldn't find his office.
" I'm so sorry ma'am but please, where can I find the doctor's office?" I asked a nurse.
After a minute of looking at me from head to toes, she answered.
"Oh, just down that hall. Over to the right. You'll see a White door with bold words 'Doctor Hamilton' written on it" she said smiling.
I think maybe it's because I was still in my PJ's, whatever. They have no idea what I'm going through. Change of clothes were the least of my worries right now.
I knocked at his door before getting in.
"Good afternoon, Doctor Hamilton. I'm Gabrielle Salvador.. Sister to Alberto Salvador. He was brought in here earlier this morning by my mother" I said watching him search for a file.
"Ah...yes. Welcome. Please have a sit. He's alright now right? I gave your mother drug prescriptions and I told your husband that your brother is fit as a fiddle to go. I'm surprised you're still here" he said taking his glasses off.
"Husband? What husband? Doctor I'm not married. Who was the man?" I asked giving him a confused look.
"Tall, brunette? He came in with you guys this morning" he said.
"Oh" I laughed.
"That's just my friend Doctor. Anyways, I came to find out about the bills." I said feeling a lump in my throat.
"That was settled by your tall friend" he responded returning to his paper work.
What? Why would Luke do that? When did he? I thanked the doctor before leaving his office.
I got back to Alberto's room to see him awake and beside him was Luke. Speak of the devil and he appears.
He was dressed in a black T-shirt and black trousers. He looked dangerously beautiful in black. His hair neatly combed, his blue eyes fixed on me as I walked in. I appreciate all he had done but I don't want him getting involved with my family.
"Sister!!!" Alberto cried cheerfully.
"Sweetheart! Oh my goodness, thank God you're awake and fine. " I say kissing his face.
"Luke? What're you doing here? I thought you left with Quinn. And why did you pay the bills too? You didn't have to That's just too much." I said still hugging my brother.
"Well, one after the other Gabby. I came to give you new clothes to change into as directed by Quinn. Everything you need is in here." He said raising a bag up.
"And..why I paid the bills? You're right. I didn't have to. But, I chose to. Don't ask me why. Just pack up so I can take you to your parent's. Maybe we could get something on our way there for your brother." He stood up and walked outside.
Are you freaking kidding me?! Who the hell was THAT for? Me? Uh uh...I doubt.
"C'mon sis, let's pack up! You heard him. I don't like it here. I wanna go home to mommy" Alberto begged with those cute little eyes of his.
I smiled." Okay, but it's just because of you love. You deserve to be happy" I say kissing his forehead.
After packing up, Luke helped me get the things into the car and off we went out of the hospital premises.
"I saw this really good pizza place on my way here, you think we can get in and get something to eat? You must be hungry" he said smiling but still got his eyes fixed on the road.
He was right, I am hungry. No matter how sad or upset I was, it never affected my appetite.
"Yes, please Sir" Alberto said from behind me.
Luke looked at me then back at the road.
"Okay okay geez..." I mumbled.
When we arrived at the pizza place, it was huge! I couldn't get in there looking like I'd gone insane.
"How am I supposed to go in there with my PJ's Luke. We should just go to my parent's. I need to shower too. Alberto?" I look at him for approval.
"No.. I want pizza! I want pizza!" He yelled making Luke laugh so hard.
"Well if he wasn't here how'd you think pizza would get to you? Quit it okay? Please, Let's go home." I beg him.
Luke held my hands and shook his head. "Gabby, let him have his pizza. You can sit in the car while we go get it to go. Alright?" He said softly.
"I... Okay,Fine. Get me like one too before I pass out." I chuckled.
They spent hours getting pizza and finally came out hands full.
"What took you guys so long?" I ask as he got into the car handing me my share and an energy drink.
"Thank you" I said.
"I'm sorry, we were the last to be served. That's why." He explained and we continued the drive.
Alberto cared less about the stranger who just bought him pizza. As long as he was nice enough to take him out, the stranger turns into his friend.

Excitement flooded through her mind as Tess helped her to select the cloth to wear for the date. It wasn't her first time going on a date but this was different, this man was different. And she wasn't going to the date for romance but for a challenge. She was still the strong woman she always was and she intended on proving that tonight. "You came yesterday and you already have a date, isn't this superb" Tess' voice brought her back to the presence of her room. The room wasn't empty anymore, Tess has helped her unpack stuffs, everything was very beautiful. From the gorgeous bed with black and white bedsheets to the white neat wardrobe that stood opposite it. Katie was glad the bed was by the window where she could easily see the view of the street. There weren't much houses in the town like in the city, instead, beautiful views of the riverside, the woods on her left view. The surrounding was filled with green grass just like a feild and a beautiful garden was just opposite her window. She remembered vividly her childhood days when she was living like an island princess, her mother would always take her for a walk every morning where she would see other children doing the same thing. Those days when she dreamt of becoming like her mother, of finding true love, of having her kids and of bring a spectacular mom. But everything got away that very night when those two men in black invaded her home and killed her parents.
"Surprising isn't it?" Katie said as she walked down to the mirror right beside her bed on the other side and pushed a comb through her blonde hair. She was a blonde, yeah. But she wasn't a beautiful blonde. Some said she was too thin to be sexy. She was bursty, the only thing that brought guys to her and her hips were carved just fit for her body. Her legs were too long but they were beautiful, not sexy. She took time taking care of herself than anything, she still had the dream of becoming like her mother even if all other dreams were lost. "I was just meant to repair his car, it led to all of this" Tess came to her and hugged her from the back. "Oh ain't you a lucky one" How she wished she was. Katie smiled back at her. "Don't misunderstand me, its not a romantic dare, there is nothing special bout it" Katie told her. "Romantic or not, its still a date sweetheart and you need it. You need to take a break from work"
Oh she can't, Katie thought, she hasn't achieved her goal of being an independent woman. She came to Danpa to complete her house, she was going to own a house, she had a car and she was working towards having her own business. She was going to be an independent woman and she would be inferior to no one. "Tess I don't need to. Its all I need, besides i'm not really good at relationship stuffs, you should know" Tess finally helped her to select a black gown. "Oh, isn't that too shiny, you know I hate flashy things" Katie warned. Tess sighed. She knew it was difficult to select a cloth for Katie. Her choice of what to wear has always been different from other girls'. "No its not, its the twentieth cloth you are rejecting, if you continue this way, you'd be late for your date with him" Tess told her as she brought out a nice blue slim-fitted gown with designed embroidery, white petals with a big white rosebud on the left breast. It was gorgeous and Katie remembered being given as a gift on her last birthday by Tony lorrel, her last boyfriend. She hadn't worn it for once as it brought back memories of how things ended between them. Tony never believed anything she said, there was a time he thought her insane, anyone she got close to thought she was insane at a stage, except Tess of course, the only person who understood her trauma and still stood by her. She looked at the table clock on the cosmetics table under her mirror, it was past seven. "You know why I can't wear that Tess" Katie looked at the cloth disgustingly. "Are u angry at the cloth or yourself? You can't continue to pour your anger on the cloth for the past seven months now. It's got nothing to do with Tony" Tess told her and started to remove the cloth from the hanger. Katie used to tell Tess about Tony whom she thought she loved through their regular phone call, they could talk about him for long, Katie had high hopes for him and hoped he wouldn't be like her other boyfriends but he was no different.
"Dress up fast and let me do your make-up, you need to look extremely beautiful tonight." Tess smiled as she helped Katie wear her gown. "Oh goodness Tess, told ya i'm not going to impress anyone, its just a challenge between us" katie told her so she wouldn't get her hopes up. "Well I hope you lose" Tess chuckled. "Shut up Tess, you know I never lose" Tess helped her with her make-up and also styled her hair. She found a befitting silver heels for her with a silver shaw that she wrapped around her body, by the time they were done, it was past eight, the receptionist had called that a car was waiting for her, just as Fred had said. "Goodluck baby" Tess pecked her as she took her silver purse and went to the elevator. She was looking attractive but not beautiful, every girl on make-up would and her worst regret was not being stunning or beautiful. Tess had styled her hair for her, she had applied her usual perfume. She made sure she wasn't too glamourous so as not to seem too excited about the date which she in fact was.
She saw the car and the chauffeur and recognised them out of the cars, it was an expensive car and only a guy like Fred could own it, not those living in the 12-storied apartment. She greeted the chauffeur and entered. He drove off. Many thing clouded her mind on how the night would be, her thought went back to last night when they had been intimate, it was nothing official and they followed their nerves. But this was official and planned. She pondered on how it was going to end. The car finally stopped at an eatery, more like an hotel. It was huge and large. Well, she didn't expect less. It must have been new because when she was still here, she never heard of Begger Hills. Suspense embraced her then, what would Fred think of her when he saw her, would he think her ugly?? Well, she wouldn't be surprised. She was about asking the chauffeur where to go to when she felt him before seeing him. She looked to the direction of the entrance and there he was, standing with a broad smile on his face, he approached her. Katie didn't know why her heart was beating fast, waiting for his comment. Why did his opinion matter anyway?. He was looking more handsome tonight and casual. She had expected him to be one of those guys who wore official suits and all, but he was different. He wore a tailored trousers with a matching turtle-necked top, his hair was styled obviously by a stylist and his shoes weren't from the country by the look of it. "My Lady, shall we proceed?" He asked and gestured for her to lead the way which she in fact did. He hadn't complimented her, maybe he thought her ugly after all. She had told herself she wouldn't be surprised yet it hurt her. She wanted to impress him.
They got to a table and a waitress was already waiting for them, it was an enclosed area from the other public tables. Fred must have booked it. He brought out a chair for her and she had her sit with Fred opposite her. She tried to force her gaze off his face and figure but she couldn't. He could be called beautiful if it wasn't so girlish. "You are welcome ma'am. Oops and before we order, I want to introduce you to my friend and partner, Tony Lorrel" Fred said just as a man came from the back room to their table. Katie stood up immediately, she couldn't believe her eyes. Tony! Gosh why Tony, what the hell was he doing here anyway? Was her ex-boyfriend going to have dinner with them. Holy crap, what kind of punishment is this. Her past together with the fear she wanna overcome, dining with her. That was so unfair. Tony came forward and took her hand as she gave it, then kissed it. He was still the same as he had been months ago, he was still handsome and stunning but not compared to the man beside him. "Katie Laurens" She tried for a fake smile as they all settled down. Then memories of her break up with Tony and the reasons why started to rush through her head, she could never forget how it started that night.
