He sighed and put the phone back into his pocket. He decided to walk home since nobody will still be at home.
Sabrina and Alicia arranged their desks as they prepared to head home. They went down the elevator when they saw Derrick.
Derrick's mood brightened when he saw Sabrina. "Hey Sabrina." He said while smiling till his eyes turned crescents.
"Oh, hey Derrick." She slightly nodded with a smile.
Alicia waved her hand across his face. "Hey. Derrick I'm here."
Derrick chuckled and rolled his eyes. "Yes Alicia, how are you?"
Alicia laughed. "I'm fine Derrick."
"You guys are going home now right." He asked.
"Yeah, Daniel is coming to pick me up." Alicia said
"Oh. I can go with you both. Sabrina suggested.
Alicia shook her head. "He is taking me home. He is spending the night with me. Alicia winked.
Sabrina glared at her for being so shameless. Derrick clear
Sabrina widened her eyes in surprise. She didn't expect Josh to think she would ask him even if she wanted to. Josh knew she wanted to ask him about how his day went with Jessica but she was to embarrassed to ask. Sabrina licked her lips and blinked multiple times. She tucked her hair behind her ear and gulped. "Ho-how did your day go with Jessica?" She couldn't control herself from asking! Josh's lips curved up. "It was nice. I wish you were there to watch the horror movie with me. Jessica is not really a fan of horror movies." Sabrina felt electricity run through her body hearing what Josh said. 'He wished I was there!!' She finally relaxed believing Josh would never agree to date Jessica. Yes, she likes Jessica but, Jessica should not go after the person she loves even more than her life. "Hm." She split nodded. She tried to his the smile that was twitching iys way out of her lips. "Then we went to other places like restaurant p
In an abandoned factory past midnight... The factory was completely dark. A figure climbed up the dusty stairs. The crunchy sounds of the broken cements on the floor was heard from his footsteps. It reached a door and opened it. On the walls were pictures of Sabrina with Josh, some with Derrick, Daniel, Alicia and even Jessica. Sabrina's pictures filled the whole room. There were pictures on the floor, but the room wasn't brightly illuminated. The figure didn't enter the room. It stood outside while holding the door knob. It's fist tightened on the door knob. It brought out a knife from its pocket and in one swift move, he threw the pocket knife on the picture of Sabrina and Josh, directly on her forehead. The figure gently closed the door and left. Sabrina stared at the ceiling as she was lying on her bed. She was thinking of going back to her house. Josh and Daniel had helped her more than she could imagine. She turned to lay on her side. She was still scared to go back home but
They stayed in that position for a long time not saying anything to each other. Their mind filled with different thoughts. Sabrina fell asleep again while resting her head on Josh's shoulder. Her hold on his arm was tight as she was fast asleep.Josh was still wide awake. He didn't move so as not to wake Sabrina up. He stared into space for a long time. He later turned his neck to look at Sabrina who was deep asleep but her grip on his arm was really tight. He had an helpless look on his face as he sighed deeply. He whispered while looking at her. "Just say it." He sighed again and rested his head on the headboard before he closed his eyes.The next morning, Josh had already left Sabrina's room since last night. It was a Saturday so, Sabrina was still asleep.Sabrina later woke up in the afternoon. She must have been really stressed throughout the week. She came out of the room to the living room to see if Josh was there. She went to the living room,
"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
"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
