[Carlos]
I found out Christmas sitting on the edge of the old fountain here in the courtyard. The fountain doesn't have a water anymore since our situation gone wrong and even the house adjusted in the changes. It seems the house died since she is gone but now she is here, it is still not alive.
“What are you doing here?” asked of Christmas, looking on my way.
“I came here to see you,” I replied and walked closer to her, “I just want to apologise about last night.” I sat beside her.
She grimaced. “Forget about it.”
“Are you mad?”
“What do you think?” she asked sarcastically.
“You are mad.” I laughed. “After this we are goin–”
“Are you going to take me back?” she cut me off.
I grimaced. “No, not yet.”
“So, where are we going then?”
“You'll know later. So, start fixing after
[Carlos]We are here now at the entrance of Santa Monica Pier. When Christmas suddenly stop, I also stopped as well. She was staring what is written in the entrance seems she was have a thoughts of something. I want to read what is in her mind but I can't.This is the day I came again here and I'm happy that Christmas is the one that I am with. It is feels like just before and the same but it ain't. The place changed a little bit but the small amusement park, concession stands, and areas for views and fishing are still here. They stayed the same but she is the only one who changed."Is there something wrong?" I asked."I knew this place," she answered that made my hope alive."R-really? You knew this?""Yea, I saw this one of the movie I watched before. I just forgot the title." She chuckled. "I was only watching this place on a movie but now here I am. It's funny."
[Carlos] I woke up with Christmas in my arms sleeping deeply. It's already 8:00 p.m. in the evening and the voice outside awake me. I took my phone in the side table and took a picture of her sleeping. The flash of the camera made her forehead in knotted.“Time to wake up, Love. You don't want to miss this night,” I said putted back my phone where I took it.“Do we really have to go? Let's just sleep here,” she moaned still sleeping in my arms.“Don't you want to see a fireworks?” I asked.She suddenly opened her eyes. “Fireworks?”I laughed. “Yea, fireworks. Let's go now before we miss it.” We are now walking towards at the Pier while our hands are intertwined together. We aren't yet there but the beautiful lights coming from the ferris wheel already seen from here. The people with us are already heading in the Pier to witnes
[Carlos]I left Christmas for a while in our room to buy some foods. She will probably hungry as she woke up later that is why I am here in The Albright to buy their special menu which is the seafoods. It is already 5:00 in the afternoon and the food that I'm going to buy is for our dinner. The perch we had earlier I set it back in the water that's why it is gone now.She still not awake at this time and tomorrow morning I decided we are going back to the house. It seems I failed in bringing her here. Instead of remembering things she got drowned herself earlier. There's still another way if this didn't work. I will not give up!"$55.20, Sir, for your order." The crew handed me the take out bag."Thank you," I said as I gave her the payment and goes in the restaurant to go back in the hotel. I was about to cross the road when I saw a bouquet of flowers that I used to buy her before. A smile formed in me and find mys
[Carlos]Bzzzt! Bzzzt! The vibration of my phone disturbed my sleep and I took it under my pillow. I slowly opened my eyes and my forehead knotted as I saw who is in my caller ID. It is Luis who is calling me in the middle of the night. What is wrong with this guy?"Hello?" I started silently and get off in the bed so that I can't disturb Christmas on her sleep. I headed here in the window while watching her sleeping heavily."Am I interrupting you?" Luis asked stupidly in the other line."What do you think?" I asked sarcastically.He laughed. "I'm sorry Bro. I will never call you this late if it's not important.""Is there something going on?""Have you already check your social media accounts? Either your Facebook or Instagram?""No I haven't yet opening my social media accounts since the last time we talked, why?"
[Duke]Christmas and I are now heading to the house. I feel weird while I am with her now because of her new look but my idea seems working. The people earlier when we goes out in the hotel didn't recognize her. She is now eating at the passenger seat, beside me, and she is the one who ate my burrito. I only had a coffee earlier before I start driving."Later as we arrived in the house I am going to call our attorney to settle for you the divorce papers," I said while driving in the way."If it's already settled, I'm going back in Jacksonville to face Duke with it," she replied."I am going wi-""No, I will face him alone," she cut me."I will still going to come. Remember I rented a house there?" I glimpsed a second to her."Yea, I'm sorry I forgot," she replied."We are going back together there.""I'm starting to have thoughts wh
[Carlos] I am now here in the bed resting. Christmas is still in the bathroom having a shower and I don't know what taking her long inside. She didn't let me in and told to wait here in the bed but I'm already impatient. I want her now!“Love! Are you not still done there?!” I shouted for her to hear me.“Just wait a sec! I'm almost done,” she shouted back from the inside.“Make it fast!” I shouted again but I didn't receive any reply from her. The door suddenly open slowly and a smile formed in my face as I saw her in the doorway in her tempting look. She was wearing a red lingerie two piece and black night robe. My throat automatically dried as she start walking towards me.“Liking the view, hmm?” she asked and goes on my top.“Yea, I like this,” I replied while my hands are moving in her body.“Do you want
[Carlos] It's already 6:00 p.m. but I'm still lock inside our room. I have a key here that will open the door but I chose not to use it. Christmas will get mad if I go out here. She might doing something downstairs except of cooking and I don't want to ruin it. She is making efforts and let's just pretend I don't have any idea about it. I am here now resting in our bed, holding the ring I gave to her as we got married. Christmas doesn't have this in her finger anymore because Layla took this. And also she is wearing different ring which Duke gave her. I forgot to ask her to take it off. I just remembered it just now. I'd been waiting the whole time here in our room and it's already 7:00 p.m. and I really want to go downstairs to see what's going on there. But my wife seems doesn't have the plan to get me out of here. I waited again for almost thirty minutes and I feel like I'm going to
[Christmas] It's been three days after Carlos's birthday and I'm happy that even it's just a simple celebration, we enjoyed especially him. Today, I am going to do something that he will probably he won't like. I got a plane ticket today going back to Jacksonville, Florida without telling him. I know he will get mad as he woke up later that I am not around, that I leave without him. But I'm already here so there is no turning back.“Christmas! It's been a long years I haven't see you,” Attorney Leonard said as he saw me and hugged me for a second. He is already at his age as the last time I saw him.“Yea,” I only replied and laughed. We are now here in the courtyard and I am accompanying him inside the house. Carlos wasn't around because he needs to buy some parts that he is going to use at his motorcycle he is fixing. He is gone for almost thirty minutes and I guess he is on
[Carlos] I drive the van fast to reach him and I am now here on his left. I bumped his car going to the right that is why he doesn't have any choice to change route. The path is taking us away from the city and this seems going from a working place.“Give up, Duke!” I bumped his car going on the side.“No! I won't let you win this!” Duke replied and bumped me also on my side, “You'll kill me first!” he drives the car fast and I left behind because the van is not capable on that kind acceleration.“He is now on his way in the abandoned warehouse,” Vincent said and they still following him with the lights of the helicopter. I changed the magazine of my gun and goes down as I arrived on this abandoned warehouse. Duke's car is parked messy and the door of the trunk left open. He might have her inside that's why I followed. There is no lights coming from the inside
[Carlos] When the cars in front of us gone, Vincent and the others came back. They goes out in the elevator not far away from where we are and they are running towards us. They start looking for them as they come to us but they are already too late.“Where are they now?” Vincent asked pertaining to Master Yorkshire.“They just gone,” Vick answered.“We just came here for nothing,” I said in disappointment, “Now that Master Yorkshire convinced not to help Duke, the asshole were gone. They are gone! Where are we going to look for them again? Are we going to travel again in other country to find that asshole and my wife?!”“Calm down, Bro,” Luis said, “I know this is frustrating but you need to put yourself all together.”“The question here is, how Grey found out that we are coming here?” Vincent suddenly asked.“Maybe someone told him before we ar
[Carlos] I woke when someone shake my body and it was Luis who is already awake. I looked at him in my forehead knotted and quickly sit properly on my seat. I don't know how much long I had been sleeping but I guess we are going to land now in Tokyo.“Are we going to land now?” I asked.“Not yet it's 10:00 now in the morning and we have still more hours to go,” Luis replied.“I thought we already going to land.”“I just wake you up because we are going to have our breakfast,” he said.“Hmm, okay,” I replied and glimpsed a second outside the window. Luis and I get off on our seat and walk towards the table where the others are now. The flight attendants start serving our foods in the table and we take our time eating silently. The flight attendants also served a breakfast for the two pilots inside. After we eat, they took off a
[Carlos]“So, the reason why they didn't caught here in London because they were in Japan?” I asked while looking what is in the inside of the folder.“Yes, and my nephew, Benjie just call me this earlier and he found out that the airport they used to go there is the private sector of Yorkshire,” Vincent answered.“Yorkshire?” Luis suddenly said.“What? Do you know what is it?” I asked him.“Not that I know but it's just familiar to me,” Luis replied, “If I'm not mistaken, Lisa told me about that Yorkshire family. She were once invited on a party with them and they are the most powerful mafia in Japan,” he explained.“Yea, Luis is right,” Vincent agreed, “But how does your wife knew about them?” he asked.Luis laughed. “My wife is closely related to the Yorkshire, his grandfather rather. She is a half japanese.” He replied.“Oh, I see.” Vincent nodd
[Carlos]Ding dong! Ding dong! I pressed the doorbell as we finally arrived on their home. We're glad that we had a Google map that help us to find our way back here. It took us a minute of waiting before the door opened. Britney was in front of us and her eyes darted on what we are holding.“You two are back,” Britney said casually.“Yea, and we got something,” I said pertaining to the chocolate muffins and cookies that we bought for them. Britney closed the door as we got in and she walk with us through the living room where the rest are. Vincent is already home and they seems having a movie marathon together. I placed the box at the top of the coffee table and Luis did the same thing. We joined them as we sat on the couch.“What is this?” Brandon asked and goes to the boxes.“Chocolate muffins and cookies,” Luis answered hi
[Carlos] Before we start on finding who we looking for, we decided first to eat on a restaurant to satisfied our hunger. We are now here in Liman Restaurant and there are lot of people with us here at this moment. Everyone is busy on their food at thier table while we still waiting for our order because we just arrived here. We ordered a Lamb Shish, Chicken Kebab, Gnnochi, Seafood Linguine, Mussaka, Mash Potato and a Bloody Mary for our drinks. After waiting for almost a minutes, the crew serves our order in front of us. As they took the cover off, the smoke of new cook came out and the smell were good. I can't help to crave more on what I am seeing in front.“Enjoy the meal, gentlemen,” said of one of the crew before they leave us alone in our table.“The smell so good,” Luis said and start tasting his order.“That is what I thought also,” I replied and sipped a little first on my Bloody Mary be
[Carlos] In the next morning, we woke up early because Vincent will accompany us on his friend that will help us easily to find Christmas and Duke. Luis and I joined them again in the dining to take our breakfast and after that we leave in the house. Brandon rides with us because Vincent will take him in the school first while Britney rides with his own car heading on her university.“Are you going to stay long with us?” Brandon asked, sitting with me here in the backseat.“No, we're not going to stay that long,” I replied.“Why? Are you not enjoying here in London?” he asked again.I chuckled. “No, it's not like that.”“Then stay with us. We have rooms in the house that you can use.”“Brandon, they can't stay with us,” Vincent said while driving the car, “They had their own lives.”“Your daddy was right, Brandon. We have also l
[Carlos]Knock! Knock!"Knock! Knock!"My sleep was interrupted when a loud knock disturbed us. Someone also keeps on shouting outside while making the annoying knock like he has a plan to destroy the door. I slowly get off in the bed and Luis is covering his ears with the pillow, still sleeping in his position. As I got on the doorway, I opened the door and kid was standing in front of me. He is the one making the noise and in my guess, he is just seven."What is your name kiddo?" I asked and kneel to reach him."My name is Brandon," he replied."What a nice name, Brandon. Let me guess, Britney is your sister, right?"He nodded. "Yes and you are Carlos, right? My mom told me."I chuckled. "Yea, it is me and the one who sleeping there." I pointed Luis inside. "That is Luis, my friend.""Okay!""So, why are you knock
[Carlos]Silence fell upon us while we are on our way at Britney's house. We are already traveling for almost 30 minutes and i just woke from my short sleep. I am now looking again outside the window while my back were slouch on my seat that made me more sleepy."So, you two really came from Florida?" Britney broke the silence with her question."Yes, but we are really came from California," Luis answered her question."California, huh? So, why you two are in Florida?""I changed residence because of my wife and this my friend is just there because he is taking her wife back," Luis answered again to her.Britney glimpsed at me in rearview mirror. "So, what is this? Your wife has been took with someone? Kidnapped?""Worst than that," I replied on her."Hmm, is that so? So, why you two end up here in London?" she asked again.
