Only God knows what he was thinking.As she reached outside the huge gate she saw Sarah coming out of a black jeep. She remained at her spot waiting for Sarah to reach.“Hi Shirley”. Sarah greeted politely.“Where have you been”? Everyone at home was worried about you”. Shirley said moving her face from Sarah’ to the now disappearing car.“I was at a friend’s place”.“Why didn’t you call to at least tell us that you were spending the night”.Sarah raised a brow at her and in quick motion moved her eyes to Shirley’s neck. “I know it’s none of my business but you should have informed us”. Shirley said.Sarah still kept her eyes glued to Shirley’s neck. Seems like someone or rather two people were busy having fun instead of worrying about her.“Sarah, Sarah.” Shirley snapped. “Are you here at all”?.“Y-e-s I
Adon tried to get a hold of Sarah her phone was switched off. He couldn’t help but worry about her. The argument between them played in his head like a movie and he sighed loudly wiping beads of sweat from his fore head.“Worried aren’t you”.He turned around see Shirley figure wrapped in a huge hoodie. He turned back staring into space again. “And pained.. Pained to know that she’s with that bastard, that lying, cheating bastard”.Shirley knew that he was angry, no, raging; he was raging but was trying hard to control it“Hey, language. I’m still a kid you know”. Shirley said taking a seat beside him.Adon chuckled a bit.“I’m sure she’s fine”. Shirley said giving him a reassuring smile.Adon still wasn’t convinced, a look of worry laced effortlessly in his eye balls. “But what if she’s sleeping with him, I won’t be able to take it. My heart won’t be able to take it”.Sarah burst out laughing. She knew he was a softie but didn’t know he could be this soft. But really he looked tough
Sarah arrived the address Paul had sent her. Before her stood a mighty mansion. She couldn’t help but wonder why Paul had sent her this address or did he make a mistake with the address. She was about calling him when the gate opened. She came face to face with a huge man wearing a suit and dark shades. He stood erect like a professional bodyguard. “My boss; Paul Pierre await your presence in the house. Allow me lead you in”. He asked sounding like he needed her permission. Sarah stared at him for a while, what if this man was here to harm her. Even if he kidnapped her there was no way she could fight him because he stood twice her height. One thing she was grateful for was that she had her pepper spray. In case of any emergency. As the bodyguard led her inside the house, all her former thoughts became clouded by new ones. Who on earth owned this beautiful house. Everything in the house from door designs portraits and furnitures screamed money and style. It’s impossible for Paul to
Breakfast at the Lancaster’s was awfully quiet. Each person had a lot of thing going on in their mind. Sarah: thinking about her last trip to the hospital. Nik had his mind wrapped around what happened with Shirley and his fight with Allison while Sarah thought about last night with Adon.After breakfast everyone dispersed to their room to prepare for day three of the couple outing. After all the preparation, they arrived at the venue. It was a classy restaurant uptown where they were supposed to have heart to heart talks as a couple. Adon and Sarah sat at their table, Allison and Nik sat at a table across While Shirley sat on her own with a drink placed on her table.Sarah and Adon stared at each other eyeball to eyeball none faltering. “What do you want Adon”. She finally gathered the courage to ask. Not like she was afraid of asking the question, she was only afraid of the answer he would give.Adon raised a brow at her. He had to keep his cool. It took him a lot of courage to say
Shirley arrived the building and waited in the lobby as instructed by a nurse. Her heart pounded against her chest in the most violent manner. She waited a while and she couldn’t spot her mother anywhere. Instead the nurse who had earlier told her to wait in the lobby appeared from the corner. “Where is my mother”? Shirley asked as the nurse got closer.“I’m sorry Miss Shirley you won’t be able to see your mother today as instructed by the doctor”.“But why I haven’t seen her ever since she was admitted”. Shirley said in frustration.“Actually someone came to see her today and they got into a really big fight”. The nurse looked around before whispering. “The argument triggered really bad reaction and we had to sedate her”.“What who is this visitor and why don’t I know about him”. Shirley got really confused by this revelation. They never had any friend, the only people they were very close with are Charlotte and James and they had no business with her mom.“Can I see a doctor; I ca
Carrying a wrapped doll, Tabitha sat at the eating area of the mental hospital where she was receiving to treatment to improve her mental health. She shielded the doll from the invisible sun she alone saw in the ceiling of the building. “Baby little boy don’t cry, baby little boy don’t cry. I love you and you love me baby little boy don’t cry”. She sang to it. “I don’t know why your big sister Shirley hasn’t come to see us. I can’t wait to tell her that you’re alive, that I found you. You were right here in this hospital waiting for me. You came to me my boy”. She spoke delusionally.As she continued to communicate with the doll which she assumed Ryan, a nurse came up to her. “Tabitha”? He called gently.Tabitha quickly hid the boy behind her like it was about to be take away, she shot the young male nurse a questioning look. “ You’re here to take my son away right? I won’t let you”.The nurse cautiously inched closer and took a seat. “No Tabitha, I would never do that to you”. Tabi
The next morning the Lancaster’s were woken up by the visit of Mrs. Grace. According to her she wanted to spend quality time with her daughter in law and future daughter in-law. Allison and Sarah got ready as fast as they could and left the house with Mrs. Grace. Adon, Nicklaus and Shirley were the only ones left at home. They decided to play a game and get to know each other better.“I’ll go first”. Adon said and asked Shirley. “Tell us about you”.“My name is Shirley McMahon" “Hmm hmm”. Adon groaned and Shirley had to ask “What, did I say something wrong?.“Tell us more”. Adon chided. “Well you’ll have to ask the questions yourself, I don’t know what and what you’ll want to know about me.“ okay. So how old are you”? Adon asked again.“I’m 23 years of age”.“Family…”?“I’d rather not talk about it”.“Hmmm okay”. Adon gave up seeing that she didn’t want to talk about it. He turned to Niklaus who had his eyes glued to the television since the conversation started. “Nicklaus got a
Shirley woke up that morning ready to take the day as it came . She barely put her feet on the ground when her phone rang out loud. “Hello”. She spoke into the phone.“Hello, is this Miss Shirley McMahon”?“Yes, this is Miss Shirley. Who am I on to please”.“This is Detective Ben from the Vegas crime unit, we are calling to inform you that after series of test, results show that your mother is mentally unstable and due to this reason she has been sent to the Las Vegas mental institute for proper care and quick recovery”.“Oh, okay thank you.. Is that all? Thank you for your help detective”.She dropped the call and refused to feel sad or shed a single tear. Assuming she listened to Charlotte then, maybe things wouldn’t be as worse as they are now. Refusing to give it much thought, she did her morning routine and dressed up in a floral dress, just right for the weather. She stepped out of her room and immediately bumped into someone.“Hey maid watch it”. She looked up to see that sh
It was time for dinner already and the Lancaster’s were yet to appear at the dining table, the only people present were Nicklaus and Sarah. She set the table while he stared at her with venom in his eyes. “What are you doing”?. Nicklaus threw at Shirley as she was about to take her seat in the dinning.“Umm what does it look like.. I’m taking a seat”. Shirley said describing with her hands.“Maids are not supposed to be at the dinning with their bosses”. Nicklaus shot back at her.Shirley wasn’t going down without a fight. “Well. The fact that I cooked dinner tonight doesn’t mean I’m a maid”.“Who cooks dinner without being a maid”?.Shirley couldn’t wrap her head round the whole scenario, this kid just arrived today and he’s already having issue with her for reasons best known to him. “Do we have a problem Nik”. Shirley decided to ask.“Its Nicklaus to you”.”Well go screw yourself”. Was Shirley’s reply.“Is there a problem”? Adon asked coming down from the stairs while Sarah and All

This cafe where she works is owned by Mrs Benson; a grumpy plus sized woman who found fault with every singe thing she did. After scrubbing she walked over to the counter where a senior collegue sat. "Hey Anna, it's my closing hour already.. I have to get going". "Okay" Anna responded without sparing her a glance.Shirley waited a while before speaking again.
