Alexis laid on her bed with a headset on. She was acting cool but deep down, her heart was aching. She wouldn’t tell anyone because Eric isn’t of their class. They would just advise her to move on or even make Eric’s life more miserable. Listening to music could help her feel better so.“I take a deep breath every time I’m at your door, I know you are here but I don’t see you anymore, and that’s the reason…” she was singing out the lyrics of the song played in the headset at that moment. Pausing the song, she removed the headset and dialed Eric’s number.He pushed her away and she deleted his numbers from her phone, but surprise, she remembered the digits and called, praying she made a mistake.“Hello, what is it that you want?” Eric’s voice was heard which made her heart to beat fast. She was unable to utter a word and out of annoyance, he hung up thr call.Realizing what she had done, she called again but he didn’t pick so, she decided to text him.“For what?” she read out his repl
Outside the hospital, Alexis tried a breathing exercise in order to calm down. And just as she wanted to move, she felt a hand on hers.“It’s me. Chill.” He hugged her tight to himself and kissed her forehead, “You’re perfect.” He whispered while rubbing her back gently.“Why her then?” She asked between sobbing.“I just love her.” Alexis, hearing that, broke the hug and pushed Eric.“Let’s talk later.” She said before leaving. Eric didn’t stop her, he knew when it was time to let go.And just as he wanted to go back in, he saw that familiar face. The one bringing food for Grandma Clara. It wasn’t the other man who looked rich. “Are you here to give food to an old woman.” Eric asked the moment the young dude climbed down his bike.“Yes. Do you know me?” He answered while scanning me.“Who sends you?” “Huh?” The young guy looked so confused, but Eric wasn’t interested. He needed to know what truly happened to Loverina or if she was hiding.“Who are you?” Eric asked, and the young did
“Sister, do you have a clue why this unexpected meeting all in the name of having dinner?” Doris asked as he couldn’t hold it anymore.He was with his wife earlier but, rushed down to know if his sister had a hand in what it. “No. That old fool is surely a cunny bastard. One thing he happens to be good at was, disappoint.” She responded while applying a lip gloss in front of her mirror.Doris rolled his eyes and shook his head. He was never going to understand women, not even in the nearest future. It was a dinner meeting in the same house as everyone, he didn’t understand why his sister was still trying to apply makeup. For him, it wasn’t necessary. It was a red lip gloss, and it suits her just right.“You look beautiful, and I don’t see the need to makeup. It’s not like you’re going out to catch other men’s attention. Let’s go now already. I might die soon from the anxiety.” He urged her and made his way to the door, “After you, please.” He gestured for her to go out first.“What a
After eating, Loverina went outside. She had a lot on her mind and needed sometime a lone to figure out her life. While strolling, she saw Alexis who sat on short fence, looking up at the sky like, it had answers to an exam. Loverina approached quietly. It seemed she wasn’t the only one who didn’t like it inside. Even as she got nearer, Alexis didn’t notice as she was completely absent-minded. Not until Loverina waved her hand in the air that Alexis was able to turn.“How did you find me?” Alexis asked as she thought, Loverina was looking for her. Unknown to her that, Loveirna had her worries. It wasn’t a bad idea to come out of the mansion prison.The house was only big and beautiful for nothing.“I was just passing by when I saw you.” Loveina answered, “Hope you don’t mind if I join you?” She requested, pointing at a space near Alexis.“Yes….. Sure you can. Please join me.”And with that, Loverina quickly sat on the fence too. Just very close to Alexis. And the duo remained quiet. E
“Ha ha… No… Ermm, well, yes. I wanted to but… but I then remembered, she has an online class… yes, a class.” She stuttered, while thinking of what to say. Jayden steadied his gaze at her and his eyes were icy, and piercing. Like they would kill her. His smile had vanished, and he had the devil’s warning look. No one needed to tell Loverina that she was a dead meat. She used her eyes to beg for mercy. “Huh? A meeting by this time of the night?” Loverina started laughing as Alexis asked. She wished Alexis would just stop asking questions and, rather, believe her lies. Jayden was taking note and his face wasn’t welcoming.“Yes. The thing is, she has an online meeting with her boss. She told me they have an appointment.” She lied again and this time, Alexis bought it.Loverina stammers whenever she tells a lie but, she had to organize an answer in her head before opening her mouth, to avoid issues from raising. Even if Alexis believed, Jayden knew the truth that she has no friends. He onl
Loverina on the other hand did not utter a word. She couldn’t even raise her head to look at him.“You startled us. But, what are you doing here?” They were close to Alexis’ room. It was a bit far from Jayden’s. “Want to sleep in my room too?” Alexis asked, folding her hands.“Hell no. To sleep in a room with two silly girls. Nahhh… I will pass……. I only came to wish my girlfriend a goodnight. You already stole her from me and now, I will have to hug my pillows.” Jayden joked and Alexis started laughing but, it didn’t get Loverina. She was lost in thoughts.“Awwwwnnn…. This is so romantic. What about me? I too, deserve a goodnight.” Alexis protested. “You want me to kiss you on the lips? I don’t want mum to kill me please.” He joked again and Alexis hit him on the chest.“I wonder what Loverina saw in you.” She turned to face Loverina to see someone who is probably lost in her own world.Jayden noticed too and walked up to Loverina, “Are you okay?” He asked waking her back to reality
Bethel opened her eyes a bit, to see her husband sneaking back in. He turned towards her, and she immediately pretended to be fast asleep. He waved his hand over her face and got no unusual activity. Seeing she wasn’t moving, he gently walked to the other corner, took off his clothes, and smelled it to know if his thoughts were correct.As Bethel intentionally moved her right leg, Doris swallowed hard and dropped his clothes immediately. Not minding what he initially had in mind, he crawled on the bed gently, like a thief, trying to climb down through an opened window. He lifted the bedsheet, and laid down on the bed like a sloth. Bethel, then, turned to his side with her eyes still tightly shut. Immediately, he covered himself with the bedsheet and started snoring. What a fool he was. He didn’t even know himself that much. Even if she wouldn’t suspect, but snoring exposed him already. The only thing she knew too well about her husband was that, he never snores when sleeping. She is
Bethel couldn’t point out what the cloth was smelling like. She again opened the cloth broader to find out what is literally the source of the offense smell. And It was blood stains.“Can you see this too?” She asked lily to gain her attention.“Huh? Is something wrong?” Lily inquired as she approached. The shock expression on Bethel’s face evidently expresses the notion that something was amiss.“No, no. nothing to trouble yourself with. You can return to with what you were doing. It’s my husband's cloth. I don't know how it got here. Maybe he changed here and forgot this one.” She claimed and got up, folding the cloth so Lily doesn’t see the blood stains too.Two things worried her and that was, how the blood stains. It can’t be menstruation, and from whom? Margaret?“Can you not let Margaret know I was here?” Lily nodded. Even still she doesn’t know the exact reason why Bethel suddenly wished to leave and doesn’t want Margaret to know of her visit.It can’t be that Bethel stole some
