HER SILVERLINING FIRST OUTING 1
“We’re going to the beach first? Are there more delicacies there?” She asked this time with enthusiasm and Steve nodded.“Tourists come here for the rare delicacies.”“Since when did our small town have so many delicacies?” Carla asked in wonder, it’s just been seven years since she left, why does it sound like it’s been twenty or thirty years since she last lived here?“Well, some classmates came back to settle in the village since it became a tourist town and they learned a few things that have benefited the town,” Steve explained.“O….h,” Carla said and her mood dampened.Their classmates. She had seen and met a few while pursuing her career in the capital. Some had been very nice to her, and some made her feel like she owed them something. However they had reacted to her, the truth remained one thing, many classmates followed her social media account and knew of her situation better than anyone else. If she saw them or tourists who knew her at the beach, what was she supposed to

Carla on the other hand was still in deep sleep, she was mentally and emotionally drained but her sleep wasn’t so smooth, she woke most of the time from panic as she had nightmares of Zak coming after her and her grandmother falling ill from hearing of all her scandals. Sometimes she dreamt that anti-fans came to her home scolding her and beating her up. She woke up suddenly with sweat over her brows, her heart pounding fast. This was the third time she had woken up from a nightmare while sleeping, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, her door resounded with a banging knock and her nerves tensed almost immediately as she wondered if she was still dreaming or if the nightmares were becoming a reality.But she soon heard her grandma’s voice, “Carla, Steve is here to take you out!!!” Grandma Joan yelled from behind the door hoping to wake up the ‘still sleeping’ Carla. Carla heaved a sigh of relief before sitting on her bed. She remembered that no one knew that she was out of to

Steve woke up bright and early, excited about the day, he went to the kitchen of his small bungalow house and got busy making various dishes for the picnic ‘date’, he planned to take Carla on. He had an apron tied around his waist with the sleeve of his white shirt pulled up to his elbow and yes, he was in a corporate outfit today, a white shirt on gray suit pants. He knew Carla liked ambitious and official-looking men, so he was opting for that look today, hopefully, she would be impressed with him enough to consider dating him. He prepared the various dishes diligently according to Carla’s taste, a taste he had quietly gotten accustomed to in the past seven years of befriending her grandma and practicing under her guidance.During those seven years, what they majorly talked about most was Carla, her likes, her dislikes, and even her favorite foods. He took time learning how to make her favorite dishes and now when he makes them, they are almost similar to the one made by her grand

“See? How hard was that?” Grandma Joan scolded Steve as they walked downstairs. All he did was smile, of course when he came downstairs to invite her upstairs, he didn’t tell her there was something wrong with Carla, he only asked her to help him persuade Carla to go out with him tomorrow and she agreed but not without scolding.“Thank you, grandma.” He said cheekily.“Tsk, you this child. It would be best if you were bolder. You are a man after all.”“I will change grandma. I have to go home now, it’s getting really late.”“Okay, hurry up. Drive safely.” She waved him away as he walked out of their home.The moment Steve was out the front door, he turned and looked up at the window of the dark room on the first floor which was no doubt Carla’s room. The smile on his face no longer existed, his face now cold and chilling, as he pulled his phone from his pocket and dialed a number, it was picked up after the first ring.“Find out what happened to Carla in the capital. I want to know

Carla walked into her old room, nothing much had changed. Everything was still as she had left it seven years ago. Her favorite band posters still hung on the wall, her books on body silhouettes and poises were still neatly arranged on the reading table, her bed well laid as it had been when she left. Even though the room seemed untouched, there was not a single speck of dust in it. It was obvious that her grandma had been cleaning it judiciously.She laid heavily on her bouncy bed which she used to really be in love with in the past, felt the bounce, and smiled as she stared at the wind chimes on the ceiling over the bed. For the first time in weeks, she felt peace in her heart, at this moment she was without worry and felt like she could take on anything. Maybe as her therapist advised, returning home, and leaving the toxic environment would give her world hope again.Her phone rang at this time and the moment she pulled it out of her trouser pocket and saw how it was, her smile dis

A few hours later, Carla understood everything. Steve had been a frequent visitor at her house since she left home seven years ago. He was always buying her grandma groceries or having someone else buy them when he was not in town, calling to check on her, taking her to the town clinic for a checkup, and taking care of her.In other words, he had been performing her role as grandchild for the past seven years, and her grandma saw him as one. The moment she stepped into the house, she wanted to take her luggage upstairs but her grandma refused. Instead, she dragged her to sit and relax in the living room while telling her, “Leave it there. Steve would help take it upstairs later.”This left Carla more confused, she glanced at Steve and saw that he didn’t mind at all but her surprise then was nothing compared to her surprise when she saw him actively helping her grandmother in the kitchen as they prepared dinner. He had rolled up his shirt revealing his strong muscular arms and had allo

Carla stepped out of the car slowly, staring at the house she grew up in and had not been to in the past seven years. Nothing much had changed, all the things were still placed in the places they used to be, the one place where her grandma could find them without searching for them.The changes in the town however affected this place, the old brown color had been given a healthy blue and white hue, her grandma’s lawn was well mowed, and deep green carpet grass laced the floor and the fence that demarcated their one-story house from that of the neighbors were sparking white, the same color as the house ceiling, almost as if newly painted.While she stood beside the car lost in thought, Steve had gotten her luggage out of the car and was now standing by her side, “Ready?” He asked, his eyes firm as if he would not take a single step forward if she did not approve.Carla took in a deep breath and then nodded, as she wiped her clammy palm on her jeans, she felt both embarrassed and ashame

Criticize her all you want, she’s guilty and she knows it. What kind of person abandons her family in pursuit of ambition? An idiot, now she knows.But that changes nothing, it only makes her feel more useless. Carla’s mood dampened as different thoughts twirled in her mind.Steve took one glance at her and noticed, “So…, what brings you to Everheights.” He asked, wanting to liven up the atmosphere.“What? I don’t have a right to come back?” Carla turned to him and fired unconsciously.“No…No… that’s not what I meant… it's just that it’s been so long, you know?”“Yeah, I know. I’m sorry.” Carla bowed her head and adjusted her mood before looking up again. “Vacation.” She declared.“O…h, that’s really good.” Steve glanced at her as he nodded, he had been following all her social media accounts as a fan for seven years and he knew more than anyone what exactly was going on, but of course, he was not going to come up straight and tell her that. “Then you have come to the right place.” H
