Josh arrived home and did not see Daniel. "He didn't come back, hehe." He went to the kitchen to get water from the fridge. As he was about to pick the bottle, he paused. He remembered the times whenever he will try to take water from the fridge, his dad will pick it up instead, since he could not reach it. He smiled at his thoughts. He closed the fridge and went back to the living room. He sat on the couch and switched on the television. On watching the news, he saw a familiar building that was burning. "Is this not.. Oh my God!!" He jumped from his seat and took his jacket and left the house.
On arriving at the store that was burning severely, he saw Sabrina who was crying, trying to force her way inside. "She is inside. Bring her out! Let me go!!" Sabrina struggled with the police officer who was trying to control the crowd.
"Miss you can't go in. It's dangerous in there. The officer pitied Sabrina who was at the verge of breaking down. She walked away from th
After spending a long time in the morgue. Sabrina took the lady out of the hospital. "It's already late miss. I think you should go home to rest."The lady stretched out her hand to hold Sabrina's. "Thank you for staying with my mother. I am sure she was happy."Sabrina smiled and held her hand also. "I should be thanking her instead. She gave me the love of a mother. I will miss her dearly." They talked for a while, before Sabrina decided to send her home. She was leaving the hospital when Sabrina called her back."I didn't get your name.""I am Jessica."Josh was sitting on the chair inside the cell. He was hoping that Mrs Williams was okay. Daniel came into the station and asked of Josh. He was directed to where Josh was. He saw Josh faced down. He looked miserable. He tapped the cell gate with his car key. Josh looked up and saw his friend."Hey bro."Josh stood up and went to meet his friend. He held the bars of the g
The next morning, Little Josh woke up from his sleep. The sun reflected on his face. His face was swollen and pale. He tried to get up, but he was to weak to. After a long time, he managed to get down from the bed. He opened the door of the room and went outside.He looked everywhere and saw different people. Some were on wheel chairs. There were nurses and doctors everywhere. He even noticed that the outfit he wore wasn't the same anymore. "Did daddy come here yesterday?" He was happy. He decided to search for his father in the huge hospital. He was disappointed when he couldn't see his father. He decided to go back to the ward where his father kept him. "Daddy must be there."When he reached the ward, he saw Smith who looked really worried. "Uncle?"Smith turned his head back to see Josh. He ran to meet the boy. He carried him and hugged him tight. "Where were you my boy?""I went to look for daddy. Where is he?" He looked at Smith and blinked mul
Daniel, Josh and Sabrina went home together in Daniel's car. They dropped Sabrina first in her house. She came out of the car and signalled Daniel. He wind the glass down to hear what she wanted to say. " If you guys like, we can meet Jessica tomorrow. She will be at the store tomorrow." Daniel and Josh nodded at the same time. She smiled before waving them goodbye.They arrived at Josh's home. Josh looked at Daniel who wasn't even moving. "Daniel?"He was lost in his thoughts before he moved when Josh called his name. "Yes?""Is something wrong?""Oh, no. I just thought of Dad and Mrs Williams."Josh sighed and rested his head on the chair. "It's so terrible that the people we love are all dead. I hope we won't lose anybody else.""Hey, we won't okay?" Daniel said with his grumpy look. He still looked cute.Josh saw his face and chuckled. He ruffled his best friend's hair.Daniel frowned and pushed Josh's hand away. "Hey
Four of them entered the store. The store was truly destroyed by the fire. The counter where Sabrina stayed, was all black. The walls were black. Everywhere was still smelling burnt. The sections where the groceries were, were all destroyed by the fire. Everywhere looked scattered and the the sound of glasses still shattering, were heard.Josh went to Mrs Williams office. He tried to open the door but it was locked. "How come is locked?" He wondered. He came back outside.Sabrina saw him with nothing and decided to ask. "Did everything burn in her office also?""No. It's locked."Jessica and Sabrina looked at each other before she asked. "Where was my mother if her office was locked?"Josh scratched his head. He wondered if Mrs Williams wasn't in her office and she was outside her office, how could she not escape. "Or maybe she was in the bathroom, or the door of the store was jammed because of the fire.""Yeah you right."
They spent time at the restaurant before leaving the place. Daniel suggested for them to go to the club. Jessica politely declined because she had things to do. She called a taxi and left them."Since Jessica is gone, let's go to the bar my people. Daniel pulled Josh and Sabrina to the car."Daniel let's just go home. Sabrina must be....."Daniel rolled his eyes. "Blah blah blah, bro just have fun for once. Sabrina, you are coming with me. You both need a life." He pushed them into the car and drove off.They reached the club. Everywhere looked strange for Sabrina, because she had never been to a club before. She saw people dancing, drinking and some were smoking. She felt irritated by everything, but she felt okay also as long as Daniel and Josh especially were with her. The trio sat down together. The waiter brought the drinks that Daniel ordered.He offered Sabrina a drink but she refused. "I don't drink Daniel thanks."
She went to her room to have her bath. She opened her wardrobe. She brought out her nightwear, undressed and went to the bathroom. She decided to take a bubble bath. She entered her small bath tub and rested her head on it. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.She couldn't stop thinking about what Josh did in the club. "Why are you doing this?" She relaxed herself and decided to calm her heart down. After having her bath, she wrapped her towel around her body and came out of the bathroom.She shrieked when she saw Josh standing in the entrance of her room. He leaned on the door and looked at her.She crossed her arms over her chest. She didn't expect him to come to her room. "What are you doing here? Do you need anything?"He removed himself from the door and went closer. Sabrina moved backwards until her back touched the wall. "Um Josh...""I didn't see you so, I was just looking for you." He looked at her from head to toe. Her
Josh and Daniel arrived home to prepare to go to his secret hideout. After they were prepared, they went outside. Josh was about to enter the car, when he saw a black car with it's glass tinted parked behind at the other side of the road. He felt the car looked suspicious. He entered the car and looked at the suspicious car through the rear view mirror."Daniel, look behind you. Doesn't that car look suspicious?"Daniel looked behind and also saw the car. "Yes. We have to be careful since we are going somewhere no one else knows. As I drive check if it will follow us." Daniel started the car and drove.Josh looked behind, and saw that the car also started moving. " Daniel stop." As Daniel stopped, the car also stopped. "They are following us."Daniel continued driving until he reached the express road. He looked at the rear view mirror and still saw the car following them." It looks like they are trying to find out where are going." Josh sai
Sabrina decided to search for new jobs online. She needed to survive. She looked for companies that are in need of a worker. She studied credit management in the University as well as Josh. She hoped she will be finally able to find a company that needs a credit manager. "Dear God , please let me see one."She scrolled through the website and found a company. "Oh great?" She opened the website of the company and saw that they were looking for workers. She only noticed one of the jobs that was vacant. 'Credit Manager'. She didn't even care about the other three that were listed. "Oh my God! It's vacant." She started jubilating. She immediately applied for the job of a credit manager. She uploaded her resumè, before pressing the submit button.She rested her back on the couch, hoping that she will receive a notification for an interview. She stared at the ceiling, thinking of Josh. "What is he doing now"? She decided to call him. She picked up her phon
"Well, Daniel has ditched us to be with his girlfriend," Josh sighed, his voice laced with mild frustration. Sabrina glanced at him, noticing how his eyes lingered on the television screen, clearly bored. "So, what do you feel like doing?" she asked. Josh shrugged and exhaled deeply. "I have no idea, Sabrina." He suddenly rose from the couch and walked out of the house without another word. Startled, Sabrina watched as the door clicked shut behind him. Confused, she stood up and followed him outside, only to find him standing at the door with a wide grin stretched across his face. "What's going on?" she asked, her confusion growing. Josh chuckled. "You've been way too lazy lately, and I knew you wouldn’t step outside if I asked. So, I figured I'd lure you out instead. We're going for a walk, Sabrina." She rolled her eyes in protest. "Ugh, no way. I'm too tired for a walk. I’ll pass out." Josh smirked. "If you pass out, I’ll carry you." "Really?" "Yes, really." They
Sabrina eyes widened. Josh was really shameless. She glared at him as he was laughing. "Stop it." She said through her teeth "Stop what?" Daniel asked confused. "What are you guys talking about huh?" He knew they were keeping something from him with the way Sabrina was glaring at Josh. Josh held his belly to stop laughing. Coughing lightly he said. "It's because she told me that...mm!" Sabrina covered Josh's mouth tightly not wanting him to say another word. She laughed awkwardly an dsaid to Daniel. "Don't mind him hehe he is just saying nonsense."Daniel narrowed his eyes. He could see Sabrina was lying. Not wanting to add more pressure, he shrugged. "Well whatever." He felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He saw the caller and immediately, his face brightened. "Hello honey." He said seductively that made both Sabrina and Josh cringe. Daniel looked at them and rolled his eyes. "This is how you talk to your babe." He whispered softly and went outside to talk to his babe. After D
The door bell rang for the third time that was able to wake Sabrina up from her sleep. She groaned wondering who was at the door. She had planned to stay home and sleep throughout the day. She looked at the time and saw it as past eleven in the morning. And it was a Sunday.She closed her eyes already dozing off again when the heard the fourth bell ring. Suddenly getting up in a swift move, she stormed towards the door. She opened the door and was about to lash out at the person but her mouth was immediately shut and her gaze softened. "J-josh, D-daniel."Josh and Daniel stared at her with their mouth agape. She opened the door furious and yelled. "Who the fuck...!" Before she stopped talking."I-i'm sorry I didn't know it was you guys. I was sleeping so.." She bit her tongue completely embarrassed at how she had behaved. Then she remembered something. She touched her hair and face to feel if she looked dishelved like the last time Josh and Daniel came to visit her.Josh pursed his l
They kept on enjoying the scenery of the city from the balcony. Sabrina took a side glance at Josh. She really wanted to tell him about her plans of fixing up her house. She didn't want to at first, but it will hurt Josh and Daniel. She believed she had over stayed her welcome in the house. They might not feel that way, but she felt that way."Josh?" Sabrina called his name almost in a whisper."Yes?" He faced her.Sabrina immediately became nervous because of the way he was looking at her. "I ..um...I." She cleared her throat. It was so hard for her to say, but she had a home before all these. She couldn't live with them forever now that they are both in a relationship. "I um...house.. mine.""We can get your house fixed if you want then you can go back anytime you wish." Josh knew she had been trying to tell him about her house but there were times she would tell him to forget about it. He knew she wouldn't be comfortable staying here anymore and he totally understood. Sabrina eyes
Josh had prepared his special soup for half an hour. He was quite fast when cooking and he also wanted Sabrina to taste his soup sooner.He came to the living room with the steamy hot Rotisserie Chicken Noodle Soup. Sabrina opened her eyes and her lips parted looking at Josh coming towards her with a bowl of the soup. Her eyes followed the steam that made it's way out of the soup.Josh placed the bowl on the table and helped her sit up. "Eat it gently it's hot." Sabrina licked her lips and grinned that made Josh laugh. Josh pulled the table towards her and Sabrina immediately digged in. She picked up the chopsticks and blew on the noodles. She took it into her mouth. Her eyes widened at the delicious taste of the noodles. She closed her eyes and chewed slowly.Josh watched each of her expressions in awe. He always enjoyed how she reacted in different ways because of him. "It's that good?" Sabrina gave him a thumbs up and nodded vigorously. She sipped the soup slowly and moaned in de
A cemetery in the city....Derrick walked past a couple of graves in the cemetery and everywhere was as usual, dead silent. He was dressed in a black suit and he carried a bunch of rose flowers obviously going to visit someone who was very special in his life. He walked silently to a grave and the words'Anne Perkins,1996-2021.Were inscripted on the grave. Derrick knelt down and gently placed the flower that made light crunchy sounds on the grave. The cold breeze that strangely swept past him always in the cemetery and it wasn't that cold outside the cemetery, ruffled his jet black hair. "Hey babe." He whispered. "How are you? I'm sorry I didn't come on time like before. Work and stuffs and my mind has been occupied by one person and I don't know what to do." Derrick sighed. Anne was the only one who gave him joy and had given his life meaning ever since he had met her. But death had to take her from him.And it wasn't just a natural death....His lover was found dead in a forest
Music recommendation- James Smith, my oh my.Josh stared at her speechless as he watched her cry. He had never seen this side of Jessica which looked childish. "Why are you crying?"Jessica later sobbed softly and said. "I never knew you would say yeeeess!" She continued sobbing.Josh who didn't know what to do racked his brain for a while before he finally decided to pull her into his embrace. It felt so weird for him as he did it because he was so used to Sabrina's body pressed against him. This body was different he had to remind himself and it was the body of his..his girlfriend. He had to forget about the memories with Sabrina.Jessica smiled when she was pulled into his embrace. She encircled her arms round his waist and relaxed in his embrace. "Am i dreaming or you are joking?" Jessica had to be sure it was Josh talking or she was surely in a dream.Josh chuckled and said. "It's not a dream."She looked at him and asked. "Why did you say yes? I mean, i was hoping for you to say
Sabrina froze not expecting the sudden affection. Then she heard Josh say.."You didn't betray Jessica, Sabrina. I obviously don't have anything to do with her Jessica."Sabrina voice was already shaky as she spoke. "B-but she had already told me she had feelings for you and..and i was busy..." She couldn't help but burst into tears.Josh hugged her tightly as she kept on crying and her body was trembling slightly. "Shh, it's okay." He whispered. "Don't blame yourself for anything okay. It's enough you feel bad already. If i had the chance Sabrina, it is you i would want." Sabrina teary eyed, looked into his eyes shocked by his words. "But..""I know we don't want to ruin this friendship we have. We don't know what we both feel at this moment and i understand everything. You are the only woman i felt so comfortable with without even knowing you and ever since you came into our lives, it had been filled with fun and adventures and for a moment in my life, I didn't wallow in pain and r
Sabrina felt so foolish lying to Jessica. She didn't know why but she just couldn't tell her her true feelings. Sabrina decided to forget about everything. Jessica had trusted her with her feelings and she went on to be having sex with the person her friend had feelings for and that was enough. She had already told Josh to try and find someone even if it was not her . No matter how much she hated it, she had to accept fate and keep her feelings to herself. She got up and wiped her tears not wanting to keep them waiting.After a long time, the trio drove to a resturant. They had ordered theri meal and as usual, Josh's meal was the largest. As Sabrina was about to dig in, her phone rang. She looked at the caller and saw it was Jessica . Excusing herself she went to the restroom. Sabrina answered the call and the first thing she heard was Jessica screaming. "Hello Jessica?" "I did it Sabrina! I did it!" Jessica said exictedly. "I confessed my feelings to Josh and suprisingly, he didn't
