When we got home, Grandma Gracy was really happy we came home together.
"Oh My two good little cutie couples" She squeaked
"Oh Aunt Gracy, please" Kendall said already going upstairs
"Silly boy" she looked at him until he was out of sight.
"So tell me Melody, how was your first date" she question, wiggling her eyebrow
I sat down, exhausted.
"It wasn't a date grandma and a date between I and Kendall will never happen, we went out with one of my friend and Josh" I said.
"Then that's a double-date" she smiled clapping in excitement.
"GG, you're not seriously teaching me this, are you?" I questioned jokingly.
"It's not like you don't know it before and where are your glasses?" She asked
"My friends thought it's useless and decided I start using lenses" I said pointing to my eyes.
"Awwn...No wonder Kenda
"what...wait...me?" I asked and he nodded."I'm..speechless" I said."Whether you know it or not, whether you accept it or not, you are important to me" he said."Next question" he said.I couldn't even think of anything else, I'm important to him?Then why the hell would he bully me? He wouldn't tell Natalie his password, was it cos he knew Natalie would ask for the meaning and he won't be able to tell her I'm one of the people that make up his password.He tapped the table lightly and that brought me back to life."Next question" he repeated. My cheeks burnt in embarrassment.What is wrong with me? He only said I'm important to him and I've started blanking out. I need to focus."Alright, so um...I overheard Natalie saying you broke up with her, May I ask, why?"KENDALL POINT OF VIEWI finally tol
The following morning, I went to Aunt Gracy's room and she looked tired.I felt heartbroken, she wasn't this way yesterday at all."Aunt Gracy" I said and I couldn't stop the tears threatening to pour."Melody" she said weakly as she tries to smile.I moved closer to her and held her hand.She smiles and said my name again."Aunt Gracy, what's happening to you?" I asked."Gosh, I told Tanya to keep her mouth shut...you see...the illness only came for a visit, it's a stranger, I'm sure I'll be fine once I get treatment" she said"Please, Aunt Gracy, I don't want anything to happen to you, okay?" I said crying.She wiped my tears and took in my outfit."You look great, you changed your wardrobe" she asked and I nodded.She has successfully changed the topic."Kendall made a good choic
Josh and Catherine wouldn't let me hear the end of my action."Oh my goodness, you were really great" Catherine squeaked, grinning from ear to ear."Tell me cupcake, where did the energy come from, was it when you looked at my pretty face?" He smiled wiggling his eye brow."The way you have her what she deserved instantly, Oh my Goodness, I didn't know you were this feisty, I told you u like feisty girls" he added, smirkingWe're currently in the cafe, Kendall isn't here yet. I haven't seen him ever since the incident in the morning."And babe, you look sooo hot" Catherine complimented."Where did you get the idea of leaving your hair down? It's totally awesome, yunno" Josh said."Guys, guys, please" I said smiling as the thought of Kendall making me leave my hair down came to my mind."Unless, it was a special person's idea with the smile on your f
MELODY'S POINT OF VIEW"You still won't tell me where we are going?" I said tired of asking."I'm not" he replied."Please" I gave him a puppy eye joining my hands together as pleading sign."That eye won't work on me" he replied laughing.I rested back on the chair comfortably, pouting."It's worth a shot" I said and he laughed again not taking his eye off the road."How on Earth does that not work you?" I said facing him again. "It works on everyone. Are you even human?" I asked jokingly."Do I look like a monster?" He asked looking at my face."For the past Seven years, you were" I said, acting like a child.He didn't reply to that, he just kept silent.Kendall took a turn to a familiar place."Wait a minute, I know this place" I said trying to recall the place.
We were currently on vacation. Everything has been going smoothly between I and Kendall.When Catherine and Josh found out we were dating, they teased and teased and teased.Josh even celebrates it between the four of us and now, I didn't even regret telling Kendall I want him to be my boyfriend.I was currently in the kitchen with Alice, the lady Tanya employed to take care of us which includes cooking for us."How do you cut these to size? You're really perfect" I complimented.Alice is a very sweet lady. She'll be in her thirties, I think.I was leaning on the kitchen island when a body hugged mine from behind."Good morning my princess" I heard his voice as he kissed my cheek from behind.I giggled."Master Kendall" Alice said bowing a bit."Alice, I told you to stop being official when Mom is not around" he sai
The following morning, I was eager to go to the restaurant. I really want to thank the mystery guy from yesterday.I would have lost the job if he hadn't given me the apron cos I know coming back another day, the only thing I'll be told is that my service is no longer needed or another person has been employed.As agreed, Kendall drove me to the restaurant again, I entered the restaurant after waving at him."Good morning Richard" I greeted Richard."Good morning, Melody. Thank God you came early. Please take these to table 7" he said.I used my apron and carried the tray to table 7 and that was how the day's work started.Serving the customers, I looked around for the mystery guy but I still haven't seen him.'Does he even work here?' I ask myself.I continue serving customers and today's work wasn't as stressful as yesterday's.Th
Kendall opened the front door and I entered after switching on the sitting room light."What were you doing alone in the dark with your boss who you call my name?" He asked and I rolled my eyes.I knew that was the reason for his mood change."We were discussing about something" I said shrugging my shoulder as I take off my footwear."Discussing what?" He asked as he sat beside me."It's a business talk. You are not a worker of the restaurant" I said resting my back on the sofa putting both hands as he back of my head as I sighed.He grabbed my hand and made me face him."Melody, please...I....I can't afford to lose you" he said, vulnerability present in his face.I sighed and looked at him. "We were discussing about what happened to me today?" I said and he was alarmed."What Happened to you? Did a guy try to take advantage of you?
MELODY'S POINT OF VIEWIt's a Sunday morning and there was really nothing to do.Alice has come and gone. I decided to call Josh and Catherine to come over."You called Josh and Catherine, already" Kendall asked."Yeah" I replied as I came downstairs to meet him in the sitting room."Let's have some fun before they arrive." He said picking me up.Just as he moved his face closer to mine to kiss me, the front door flew open."I'm home....God, I'm under 18" Josh teased.Kendall groaned as he put me down."Hey, asshole, what did I tell you about knocking. Or we have a doorbell, you could use it" he said."Enter without knocking, you see their bare ass" he said coming in as he kissed my cheek."Morning babe" he said."Morning handsome" I said, he was trying to annoy Kendall
This chapter will explain what happened in Chapter 38 where Axel disappeared.KENDALL'S POINT OF VIEWThe following day, I offered to drive Melody to work again. I've been ignoring her these past days and I couldn't hold it again.I've maintained my distance as the agency required. I don't think I can continue again.It hurts me that I can't explain the reason for the change in my behavior her without exposing the mission.I would have given her an excuse but I don't want to lie to her anymore. The secrets I'm keeping from her is enough.I didn't apologize or explain the reasons for his change of behavior the past days and I'm grateful she didn't ask cos honestly, I don't know how I will explain it to her.I hope this fucking mission ends soon. I wonder what Melody has done to boss in the past that he ask us to protect her.I wonder the relationship
MELODY'S POINT OF VIEWTen years later."Mommy when ish Josh Uncle coming" Stephanie my three year old daughter said as I'm moving the useless stuffs in the sitting room away.Yes. Three years ago, I gave birth to this natural adorable blond baby girl with blue eyes.Of course Kendall is my husband and I'm now Mrs. Kings. Josh teased us about how Stephanie inherited my hair colour and Kendall's eye colour.Yes, Josh still teases. Did I mention he is Stephanie's favourite. Yup he is.He and Catherine had a boy, Leonard but he is a year older than my Stephanie. He is four years old.Natalie also had a boyfriend when she was in college. His name is Alex.We often tease him and Axel about how similar their names are. We sometimes intentionally interchanged their names which totally freaks them out.Natalie and Alex had a baby girl three
My Dad, Tanya, Aunt Grace, Kendall, Catherine are Josh are currently helping me move my belongings back to our house.My dad bought a new mansion but I insisted I want to live in my childhood house.He was worried it will bring bad memories if I stay in the house. But I assured him I'll be fine.Aunt Natasha and Natalie are no more in the house and I made a mental note to ask him what has happened to them.All the pictures Natasha and Natalie hung in the sitting room have been put away and new ones were hung.I made the picture I snapped with Josh before his accident, when we were searching through my files into a frame and hung it too."Yup, it's good here" I said adjusting the frame as I got down from the stood Josh held for me.We both admired the picture from our position."I love it" Josh said as he kissed my cheek and I smile.
"Dad?" I said surprised."You...you...what are y..y..?" I stammered unable to complete my word. He was dead. He died seven years ago, he died."You were thinking I died right?" He said."Well, I almost" he said nodding his head."That is why I can't walk again" he said as he pulled the wheel and came out behind the table."You...you...you can't walk?" I said tears starting to drop from my face."Yes. I can't" he said."You...why...after all these years? You left me alone. You fucking left me alone to suffer. You were alive. You were not dead. You never bothered to come visit me. You never cared to see how I am, who I have become. Why Daddy? Why?" I said crying."I have always been with you. I was there on every birthday you did the past Seven years even though no one celebrated it for you. I was there when you graduated from middle school. I was the
The ride back home was silent as I wondered what could have happened. Could it be that he had been killed by the serial killer? I thought."We'll find you a job else where" Kendall said trying to convince me."I'm not worried about the job. I'm worried about Axel. He can't just disappear like that with no trace. What if he has been murdered?" I told him."That's a crazy thought. Take it off your mind." He said.I didn't say anything again. I just kept quiet."I have to be at a friend's place. I'll be back before dinner." He said dropping me off at home as he zoomed off.I entered the house and thought about how boring today will be. I decided to call Catherine if she's busy so we can hang out."I'm sorry, I have a very important place to be. Infact, I'm on my way there. I promise I'll make it up to you" she said."Alright, see you later" I hung up a
MELODY'S POINT OF VIEWThe following day, Kendall offered to drive me to work.He didn't even apologize or explain the reasons for his change of behavior the past days but I understood that everyone of us is tensed so I didn't bother to ask since he is back to his original self now.He dropped me off at the front of the restaurant."Don't leave when you close. I'll come pick you up okay?" He said and I nodded.He gave me a light kiss on the lip and I smiled. Yeah, we are back to this."Later" I said as I unlocked the car door and got down from the car. I watched as he drove off and I turned to enter the restaurant.I looked around again, feeling someone's eye on me.Everyone was busy going to their own place of work. Everyone was busy walking or chatting.I wanted to start enter the restaurant when I saw a man on wheel turning his w
A week later, everything has been going out smoothly except Kendall though.It's not that he still isn't talking to me but he just won't go out with me or relate with me as before.Does he know about the serial killer already? Is he scared he'll end up being like Josh or worse than Josh if he is seen together with me?Speaking of Josh, he has been release three days ago and the bozo is more energetic.I think the doctors added some crazy drugs into his prescription.My work at the restaurant is going fine. Natalie and her minions haven't showed up ever since the incident.Going and coming is now stressful as I mostly walk there now and when coming back, Axel sometimes give me a ride home.We've all planned to have some fun today.We invited Axel to the house and Kendall didn't have trouble with that.No one was ready to cook so we d
The judge arrived and the two solicitors, representing the plaintiff and defendant started all their talks.I paid Keen attention. Natasha keeps giving me dirty looks.I wonder what was in her mind. I looked at Natalie too and she had the same look her mother is giving me.What on Earth is their plan? She sent me out of the house and now she wants me back. To do what? To kill me? I asked myself.At one time, Aunt Natasha was called to say her own part of the story. Her face changed from the mean look to a very soft one like one who is troubled."I don't know why she ran away. I know that night, I scolded her for coming home late. I was worried something will happen to her. The following morning, she ran away" she said as she Hurst out cryingI was amazed at such an acting. She should probably go to Hollywood, since she's this good in acting.I was asked to exp
I entered the hospital and didn't see Catherine."Friend of the Patient Josh Smith?" A nurse ask me."Yeah, yeah" I said."He has been moved to another ward as his condition has improved" she said."So, can I meet him now?" I asked her."Follow me" she said as she started moving forward and I followed her.Every step we take to the ward makes my heart thump.What if he actually lost his memory. What If he doesn't remember me."Here" she said as we stood in front of a ward."Thank you" I said and she leftI stood at the entrance for some seconds before turning the door knob.When I entered, Catherine and Alice were there.I entered, closed the door behind me and watched the three of them as they watched me."Sweetheart, you didn't have to come, you should go ho
