The car entered the road remotely reside from office hours crowded but some houses with the touches of modern family ranched neighborhood along the road welcomed them. The green grassland with spacious landscape where some horses were grassing to and running wildly gave them the air of rural modern living. The big shady trees were growing on the one side of the road. The red horizons had colored the sky as the lamp streets started lite up. Elena gazed the scenery through the car’s window. Angelo stopped the car in the front of a place with deco painting and it had spacious entrance, there were palm trees and the flowers garden. Elena entered the place with Angelo walking next to her. They saw Johnny Sly was waiting for them. He was wearing a casual outfits with a Hawaiian motif shirt. “Welcome Elena, Angelo…” Johnny rose from his seat and signed them to take a seat. They were at the open air terrace. All the furniture were painted in deco. A mid aged woman dressed in a ma
Elena rested her body on the bed and lifted the two legs upright on the bed as she was reclining. She was thinking about Martinez and everything about him. She put her fingers on the forehead to give some massages. ‘I am pretty sure that he wasn’t a vet assistant as he told me,’ Elena thought and rose from the bed. ‘Bernard, the young man who was called by Duncan Gordo, he seemed to act as Martinez’s or Edward Philippe’s personal assistant…he was holding a meeting with Fred Tiger and must be a business deal…but what is it? Why is he going to be trapped by the bad tricks of Maria Françise?’ She put the silver colored dress with half backless that wrapped her body down on the room floor and barely naked she walked towards the bathroom. She filled in the bathtub with warm water and poured the olive oil also a bubble soap with the scent of wild orchid that were prepared for her. She got into the bathtub and had uncovered her red wavy middle shaggy cut wigs off. She soaked herse
Johnny Sly moved his body and slid to get closer to the woman who leaning her front body on the hand trails of the porch. “How is your mom?” He asked with a soft tone, trying to converse and killing the awkwardness. Elena sighed. “She’s going better, Boss!” She answered, switching a glance from the rose and lavender in the garden to the man she worked for. That evening, Johnny looked fresh with his half wet hair version and body cologne with combination of musk and citrus. Conversation dimmed for some moments as Elena recalled the time she met that man who within a few months then, she worked for him and his clients. It was one messy afternoon, they got bumped each other in the street, she was rushing to the hospital before catching her evening class while he was rushing to catch a time for meeting with a client. The man in dark formal suits helped her got up from the ground and collected the scattered pieces of her old mobile phone. He gave her his business card before lea
“I hope you sleep well!” Johnny sipped his coffee, they were having a breakfast by swimming pool. As usual he put his scanning stare at Elena while she walked to approach him just to say: “Good morning Boss.” Angelo was getting some toasted bread he had done, swaying his hand in the air as his fingers got hot after picking the bread from the toaster. “Good morning Elena,” he stopped spreading blueberry jam on those oat bread, he greeted Elena and humbly poured two cups of coffee, for himself and her. Elena sighed then gave a quick nod for Angelo’s greeting. “Good morning, Angelo. Hope you sleep well…” she murmured. She put some pasta on her plate and two slices of chicken sandwiches with three spoons of salad. Breakfast wasn’t served by the kindness of female assistants as they got dinner the night before, at that morning, the meals were served on the table near the garden area while they could have breakfast with swimming pool scenery. Elena took the same table with Ange
Elena closed the locker and she gasped as she found Ashley, her friend was leaning her side next to her. “Gosh…you startled me, Ashley!” She almost yelled because of Ashley’s sudden appearance. The library was quiet and only her, Ashley and some librarian staffs inside the building. She turned around to take a sight on her surroundings. Ashley hid her smile, putting her finger on her lips. “Shhh…” She yanked Elena’s wrist to a table in the corner. Her red colored hair shaded with her original brunette hair was tied up in a ponytail. “Your wish will be granted…” She hissed and handed a note with their college heading on the paper. She rubbed her palm hands on her both thighs that were wrapped in old-fashioned jeans and a brown leathered belt. Her pupils were dilated as she looked excited to let Elena know about it. “I got this from our dean.” Ashley continued. Elena took the note from her close friend’s hand and she read it quickly. Her smile was blooming. “Three thousan
“Why there’s no bus passing through this area?” Elena curled her nose, taking a look at her watch, it pointed at 11.15 p.m. “Should be twenty four hours service, right?” She looked at Ashley, the young woman was anxious and she pitched one of her feet. “You’re in morning shift tomorrow?” Elena spanked Ashley’s bottoms, signing her to stop moving her leg. She knew it was a sign of Ashley unconsciously made every time she was feeling nervous, in the edge or anxious. Elena giggled. “Stop it, Ashley.” Ashley stopped moving and turned her head to Elena who was standing next to her. “Gosh…you always giggle at the time you should be nervous…” Ashley puffed and leaned her side head on the entrance frame gate of the bus stop. Elena shrugged. Silence was rambling into them and the street, only few cars were passing… “Thank God,” Ashley pulled out her arm, stopped a taxi, the only one of public transportation that was passing through at the street where both of them were waiting
Fred Tiger took the glass of wine from Irène’s hand. He put the glass on the side table next to their bed. The slow instrumental was in background to make both of them get relaxed that evening. The scent of lavender aromatherapy was airing the room. Irène looked at every move Fred made as the night started crawling to make a history about the unforgettable moments in each life… “Are you ready to take a wonderful journey with me?” He beamed at the woman who was half reclined next to him. He kissed her backhand gently and could sniff the scent of sweet tropical coconut combined with sandalwood body lotion. ‘She scents already like tropical paradise…’ Fred gulped as he observed the long fingers with those nails decorated on blossomed red shades. “You look so scorching tonight…” He kissed her hand again and tickled naughtily her palm. Irène giggled. Her body was shaking because she laughed and made her beautiful hills sneaked out from her peach night dress with low cleavages,
Elena made herself a cup of morning coffee alone in the kitchen with a plate of cheese spaghetti as her breakfast. It was 7.30 a.m but she had a lot of things to be done by that day. Her brain just digested everything as her mouth was munching, the old man with Mediterranean nose, charming and a pair of his Oriental onyx colored eyes like hers who she met in the library to a charming but mysterious taxi driver, the delay of the night bus schedule, then, there was one taxi that it appeared coincidentally to pick her and Ashley up showing up in fragments. She inhaled and felt suspicious that the taxi driver man wasn’t the real Davis Adams as the name tag on the taxi’s dashboard. ‘What and where were the red thread that I could see their connection? I didn’t sniff any coincidences otherwise everything seemed to be orchestrated,’ her mind became more alert for something absurd laid beyond as the shower water sprinkled on her. ‘Isn’t Mrs. Ruth’s house sold?’ Elena sniffed somethin
