Josie yelled. The reporter raised both hands up. "Find! I think I have to tell you and get it over with. This is really going to hurt you, Josie.

Josie followed the waitress until she got to an alley. She hid beside a building, she could see the waitress discussing something with the reporter but it was hard to make out What they were saying.

Jake called Josie but she wasn't picking up.Josie while hiding behind a building to avoid being seen by the waitress and the reporter was still trying to hear what they were saying without any luck. She was contemplating going closer but then her phone rang. She immediately cut the call, as it attracted the attention of the waitress and the reporter. They immediately stopped talking as they sensed someone might be watching them. They both look to see if someone was really watching them but as they didn't see anyone, they continued talking. Josie was glad she wasn't caught, she needed to hear what they were saying

Jake could be everything a woman want and more. He is charming, sweet and mostly loved by his female customers. Some female customers frequent the restaurant just so they could get a glimpse of him. The restaurant was doing well and it was supposed to be that way until an online review posted by a blogger portrayed the restaurant as being unclean and too pricey. The reporter who came to the restaurant the previous day must have done this. Josie thought to herself. The reporter was quite serious about getting the best course meal they had. He was served the best and everything went well, so what could have prompted him to write such horrible reviews about the restaurant. Josie couldn't contain her anger so she took it personal. She picked up her phone immediately to call the reporter. "Hello, am I speaking with Chris the reporter?" Yes you are" the reporter responded."How could you do something like that after visiting our restaurant. You said our services were topnotch, so why the

Hi Jake, sorry I missed your call earlier, I was a little busy. Busy swooning over you, I said in my thoughts. Jake also didn't know what else to say at this time. I had to pick up the conversation and get it going. Jake and I spoke for more hours before we retired to bed. Even though we spoke for a long time, I didn't tell Jake what he wanted to hear. I just had to delay my response, think over it and give him the right answer he deserves. At the restaurant m, during work hours I couldn't be alone with Jake to talk to him. He noticed I was trying to make an opportunity for us to talk, so he excused himself from the kitchen and told me to come to his office. None of the employees could suspect a thing, after all they saw how Jake was always avoiding me, giving them the impression that our boss probably hates me. What they didn't know was that "our boss" was in love with me and I also in love with him. At Jake's office, I was standing beside the visitor's seat. Jake ca

My first day at work was almost going to be a disaster because Ric showed up, so I was hopeful that my second day will be peaceful, maybe then I can get to be alone with Jake in his office, probably use giving a financial report as an excuse. The day's job was over, the restaurant's closed sign was put up and it was time to give the financial report for the day. Jake was sitting on his chair focused on something he was reading In a book. I couldn't see what he was reading clearly but I was sure it was a report from one of employees. Jake didn't hear me walk in, he was still focused on what he was reading, so I just stood there waiting to let him raise his head up to notice I was standing there. I just wished he wouldn't raise his head up, just watching him so focused will have to be the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. My fantasy was short-lived when Jake raised his head and apologized for making me stand for long. I laughed it off, only if he knew what I was thinking.

Two weeks after the explosion at the warehouse, Allen left the state. His supervisor had advised him to leave. He had been nursing his injuries from the explosion. They barely escaped. Fragment of an iron had pierced Into his back, making it hard to use his hands properly. Kingston was unhurt. He had told Allen, that Nancy was using him. She had made him fall In love with her, just to get information about Allen. He was hurt, but he was lucky to be alive. Allen came out of the hotel's veranda, he saw the city of Las Vegas and pedestrians walking about. He breathe in the fresh air and closed his eyes. With his eyes closed, he felt a soft hand, hold him from behind. "The night is so cold, but I think I like it" he said. "Like it or not, you must take me to dinner" Samantha replied, with her head rested on his back. Allen turned to face her. He held her face with both hands. "How are you feeling, baby Doll? Is there anything you want me to do for you? are you hungry? He asked. Sama

Allen walked out of his house, to Samantha's house. He got there to see Kingston, already waiting for him outside. "Kingston, what note did you see? Allen asked. Kingston handed the note to Allen. "Meet me at this address, and you will see all I have been talking" the note said. Allen raised his head to look at Kingston. "Who do you think left this note? he asked. "I have no idea, Allen. Do you think it's.........."Allen cut him off. "No, I don't think it's Nancy. It's not possible. Samantha has been through so much already. It definitely cannot be Nancy. She knows what Samantha has been going through, so no. I don't think it's her. But i need to go to this address. I need to see who it is" "You really have to be careful, Allen. The drug addicts and dealers are out to get you. Watch your back always and stay safe" Kingston said. "Kingston? Please watch my house, while I go check this place out. I need to know why this person wants to see Samantha. If there's danger there, I

Richard raised the surgical blade to his head, laughing. He looked at the police officers, then he turned back to Allen."Sorry, Allen. I can't be in a world where there is no Samantha. I can't be in a world where she has to be with another man. She was supposed to be mine. Now I can't even have her. I either go to jail and spend the rest of my life there, or I can go to eternity, where there will be no jail. Tell Samantha, that she was and will always be the best woman i ever saw In this life" Richard said, before he stabbed himself in the neck, laughing. The forced of the surgical blade on the Richard's neck, splashed blood on Allen's face. Allen ran to Richard, as he fell to the floor. He kept on laughing. "Put pressure on his neck!! the detective yelled. Allen was on his knees beside Richard. "Call the paramedics!! The detective yelled, but Allen turned to him, with his hand still on Richard's neck.."I don't think that will be necessary. He is gone" he said. The detective cu

Samantha covered her mouth with both hands, while she hid from Kris. "Who pulled her in like that. who Was she meeting and why was the meeting a secret." she thought.Samantha could hear inaudible voices from where she hid beside a building. She brought out her phone, put on the camera and waited. After few seconds, she saw Kris come out of the corner she was yanked into. Then the person she was meeting, followed. Samantha's eyes widened with shock..It was Richard! She yelled in her head. *Why was Kris meeting Richard? what business do they have together? these questions was in her head and Samantha won't leave until she finds answers to them. There and then, Samantha remembered what Richard had said to her on the phone. She remembered the threat he made. It all came back to her. Was Richard planning something with Kris? Samantha was still hiding. She took pictures silently. She needed evidence for whatever it is that Richard and Kris was planning, she needed to know, so she could a

ALLEN AND SAMANTHA HAD FINISHED washing up In the bathroom. He carried her, walked to the bed and put her down. He covered her with a blanket and turned to leave, but Samantha held his hand. "Don't leave.......I don't want to be alone, please? she said. "Baby Doll, didn't you say a while ago, you don't want us to live like a married couple? have you changed your mind? he asked, teasing. "I know what I said, Allen. Are you coming to lay with me or not.. You can leave if you don't.........."Before she could finish her sentence, Allen was on the bed. He raised the blanket up and slid Into to the bed. Samantha turned her back to him, and he grabbed her waist from behind, resting his head on her back. They didn't know when sleep came over and they caved in. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ALLEN WAS SNUGGLING SAMANTHA'S BACK. Someone was knocking, but he didn't want to wake up. He wished that the person knocking will just go away, but it didn't happen. Whoever it was, kept on knocking. Allen Looked at th

It was past 7:00pm, when Samantha changed into her night wear and her socks. She climbed under the bed covers, and applauded herself, for her maturity, and her ability to put the demands of others before her own. She had accepted Kris because of Allen, because she was in trouble. Being abused by her ex, must have tugged at Samantha's heart and she couldn't send her away. That will be heartless, she thought.Allen and Samantha had decided that he would sleep in the living room and she would take the bed. She didn't want them to live like couples, when they were not married yet. Her father would have had a fit, if he heard she was staying in Allen's house. She laid on the bed, and closed her eyes. She imagined herself in Allen's arms. She was having the same imaginations that Allen had. She was trying to put the imagination out of her mind, but her body has needs. Her body was making demand, but she was trying to put it away. Samantha drifted off to sleep, pleased with herself.She was
