"Where is Josh?" Sabrina asked as she wiped her tears.
Daniel remembered he last saw Josh when they were outside. "Uh..he must still be outside."
"Hm." She nodded and left to see Josh.
Daniel watched her leave to go outside. He sighed softly before he went upstairs to freshen up.
Sabrina came outside. She saw Josh resting on the car, him arms folded across his chest with his head faced down. Seeing him, Sabrina eyes turned moist. "Josh?"
Josh raised his head up immediately he recognized Sabrina. He stood straight when he saw her standing across him. "Sabrina."
Sabrina didn't know what came over her. She ran towards him and also pounced in his embrace like she did for Daniel. She already knew the reason why they were not available but her mind wasn't at peace.
Josh didn't expect the sudden hug. He staggered and hit his back on the car door. His arms wrapped around her slowly knowing the reason why she hugged hi
At last, Sabrina had already reached upstairs. She could see Josh who was in the balcony. She slowly walked towards the balcony, and she felt she was nervous for no reason. She finally reached the balcony after a while. Josh's grip on the railings were really tight while his eyes were closed. "Josh?" Sabrina softly called out his name. She noticed when she called his name, his grip on the railings loosened and he moved a little. He slowly opened his eyes but he didn't look at her direction. "When do you want to leave?" He asked. Sabrina was rendered speechless. How would answer his question. He actually wanted her to go or what. Sabrina was angry for a moment until she remembered what Daniel had told her. She sighed before she said. "I don't want to go anymore. i'm sorry for suggesting that. I know you care a lot about my safety." Sabrina moved closer to Josh who was quietly listening to what she was saying. "It's just that i was..i felt i was a burden to you
And as Sabrina would have it, Jessica came the next day.It was a Saturday so no one went out even Daniel. They were all in the living room when they heard the doorbell ring."I will go get it." Josh said. He quickly got on his feet and went to the door.Sabrina already knew who was at the door. She was a hundred percent sure it was Jessica. Her heart skipped a beat when she heard Jessica's voice."Hey Josh."Josh smiled. "Hey. Come in." He moved to the side to give her full entrance to the house.Jessica smiled and nodded before entering the house. They both went to the living room."Hey Daniel, hello my love." Jessica sat beside Sabrina and gave her a bear hug. She seemed to really like Sabrina a lot.Sabrina's heart melted hearing those words from Jessica. She felt really bad that she was starting to dislike Jessica because of man! She realized she shouldn't do that. She will always hope Josh and Jessica would never be toget
Sabrina absentmindedly placed her palm on his chest to be sure it was his heart that was beating so fast just like hers.Josh felt her warm palm on his chest which made him come back to his senses. He looked down on his chest and found her hand on his chest. He looked at her and still saw she was staring at him. Her eyes were glittering with something he could not phantom.Sabrina had already gone out of this world. The moment she looked into his eyes she forgot about everything around her. The only thing she was conscious of was Josh's heart beat she was feeling right under her palm.She finally came back to her senses and closed her eyes. She took a deep breath to calm herself down.For how long was she going to keep her feelings?Why couldn't she be bold like Jessica?Seeing that Josh didn't frown like usual but he was smiling made her heart sink.Was Jessica plan succeeding?She opened her eyes and stared right into h
"Why are you asking me about Jessica?" Sabrina asked. She didn't like where the discussion was going. Why would he as her that kind of question. "I noticed something Sabrina." Josh said. "Recently, anytime Jessica comes to visit, I noticed you always end up being in a bad mood." Sabrina heart beat stopped for a second. She did not at all expect Josh to notice. "M-m-me? Why would I-i be in a bad mood anytime she comes here. What are you saying? I like Jessica so why would I be in a bad mood when she comes?" "You feel she is getting all my attention." Josh uttered Sabrina was rendered speechless. She could feel her legs shaking and she felt cold suddenly. She looked Josh straight into the eyes completely surprised by his words. Her mind went blank not processing any words for her to say. "I saw it all today Sabrina." The room was quiet for a moment until Josh took a few steps closer to Sabrina. Sabrina blinked multiple times to see
Sabrina had to wake up early to get ready for work. She came went down the stairs to straight to the dining room to find Josh and Daniel were already seated eating. She frowned a little upset that they had already begun eating without her being there first. "You guys couldn't wait for me and I always do that." Normally it would have been a joke to Sabrina, but she was serious as she wasn't in a good mood. Daniel chuckled at Sabrina's childish behavior. He held her hand and pulled her to sit beside him on the dining table. "We are sorry. We won't do that again." He offered to put a piece of meat wrapped inside the vegetable . Using the chopsticks, he directed it to her mouth which she gladly opened with a smile to eat the food. Daniel always knew how to make her feel better. Josh glanced at his friends before concentrating on his meal again. He didn't know why he felt Sabrina didn't want to talk to him. They cleared it all yesterday and she wasn't looking bring like h
Josh didn't need to ask for he knew who she was talking about, and he hated it. "Who are you and what do you want from me?" The lady scoffed and moved closer to him. "You are so handsome..." Her finger grazed through his jawline. "If only I liked men." Josh grabbed her hand pulling it from his face abruptly and dumping it down on her side which made the woman smile. "You are so fierce just like your mother..." "She is not my mother!" He said with a stern voice. The woman chuckled which made Josh more irritated. She understood the reason why Josh made that statement. "My bad." Josh closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "I will ask you again what do you want from me." "I want you dead.." Josh expression didn't change even for a second which the woman thought would happen. She thought he would be surprised. "Is that all?" Josh asked expecting more than that usual news. The woman narrowed h
After patiently waiting for what felt like years to Derrick, work for the day was finally over. He was so estatic about spending the evening with Sabrina. He could use this as an opportunity to get closer to her and be sure about his feelings. Sabrina unfortunately didnt even remember she said yes to go out with Derrick. She just wanted to go back home and relax but she also didnt want to see Josh. With what happened last night, she still couldn't get over it. The way Josh was so hellbent on finding out the reason made her fear that he knew already and he was so angry that she had feelings for him after he made it clear that he doesn't like women.She was the only one left in the office and Alicia had called in sick. She sighed and picked her bag from the desk set to go home. The moment she stepped out of her office, she was startled for a second when she saw Derrick standing right in front of the office. She looked up at him with a suprised expression wondering why he
My lovely readers this chapter might be confusing but it happens. lol Sabrina watched as Derrick's car zoomed off until it was out of sight. She sighed lightly before going into the house. She went inside and noticed no one was in the living room. It seemed no one was around. She suddenly heard footsteps from upstairs like someone was descending. Her heart skipped seeing it was Josh. Well, it did that numerous times each time she saw Josh. Josh who was coming downstairs paused for a second when he saw Sabrina. "Hey." He said. "H-hey." Sabrina was actually feeling nervous because she knew she didn't speak well to Josh since after what had happened. "Where is Daniel?" "He is at Alicia's place. He told me she wasn't feeling too well." "He is not coming home tonight." "Ooh." Sabrina nodded. She had to make time to visit Alicia. Maybe during the weekend. "Okay. Let me freshen up." "Hm." He moved to the sid
"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
