“You know that was harsh if I must say.” Gina said with a knowing smile.

Alexis also smiled too, she knew what Gina was talking about, but instead of talking, she only to cut the onions she was cutting previously.

“What did you to him anyway?” Gina asked looking curious.

Without even looking at Gina. “I only attacked his pain pressure point, thus he is gonna feel so terrible for seven hours, after seven hours, he will be good, but for seven days he will be terrible, just that the hours decreased with each day.”

“You are too cruel dearie.” Gina said and also laughed.

“That would tell him never to flirt with any of the girls here.” Alexis said in a vicious tone.

"You will teach us that anyway.” Gina said, she sat down beside Alexis.

"You can't learn it very quick like that, it took me a year before I mastered it too." Alexis said, but she was no longer vicious as before

“Anyway how is that witch?" Gina asked smiling.

Alexis knew whom Gina referred to as witch, it was no one but Linda who was her stepmother. Alexis expression changed.

"I left home this morning." Alexis replied nonchalantly.

"You did what?" Gina became so alert.

“I said I decided to walk away from home today.” Alexis repeated herself.

Gina gasped out in surprised. “This was surprising, I never knew you would leave on a given day, I wonder what she did to you that caused you to want to decide to leave.”

Actually, Gina had seen how Alexis was maltreated at the hand of Linda, she was shocked to see Alexis, who was the same ferocious Tiger, was as meek as dove when she was around her stepmother, even after all that Linda did and said to her, Alexis had only wave it off in an unconcerned mode. Thus she wondered what Linda to Alexis today.

“Let’s just say I can’t take it anymore.” Alexis tone sliced through Gina thought.

Gina looked back at her friend with mystery. “Well now that you are homeless, did you have somewhere to stay?” Gina asked.

Alexis frowned first. “I was hoping to rent a simple room.” Alexis replied in a casual tone.

"That is it as I thought so, but I will tell you this. After six month I swear that your money will be drain as a result of house rent and other expenses.” Gina said in a serious tone.

Alexis stopped working on the onion. “Really.”

“Exactly.” Gina also replied too.

“But I can't go back there for now, or else am gonna kill somebody." Alexis said in a worried tone.

Gina was taken aback. “Are you sure this was that same Alexis that I always knew?”

“I might know things beyond ordinary, but I am still a law abiding citizen. Moreover I have no one to bail me out of jail.” Alexis said.

"Okay fine, if you can pack in with me." Gina said after she swallowed her saliva.

"But your parent, won’t they be concerned about my moving in?" Alexis said looking at Gina in the eye.

Gina scoffed. “No they won’t be concerned, all you have to do was just behave yourself is all that matters.”

Alexis worried look turned to smile. "Thank you very much Gina, you are indeed the sweetest being I ever known." Alexis said all together.

Gina looked back at Alexis trying to act loving, she shake her head in mockery. “You are welcome anyway.” Gina replied.

She looked back at Alexis and they both smile.
