Continuation of flashback
"I miss you, Al." She said.
"I miss you more. You were on my mind each passing day. Still is."
There was no response from her, but she closed her eyes shut. Then hummed a foreign sound that sent shivers down his spine.
Noticing his tensed mood, she flicked her eyes opened and rewarded him with grin. Showing gim the gap in her teeth which he loved so much. Then she pulled away from him.
It was odd because they were the only couple on the beach, no human figure was there. Not even Bruce and Benny, his dogs. Which became more fremd, because he loved taking his dogs with him for an evening walk at the beach. Wether with company or not. But the beach was deserted.
He returned hid eyes to the woman who had captured his heart and wrapped in between her fingers. She was laughing and giggling, as the light wave at the end of the beach water, tickled her toes.

I want to sing.""Remind me never to go somewhere with you again, after today." Alex replied as he started the car. But he didn't mean it, he wanted to go different places with her and try new things just like the way he did today. He wanted her to take shots of me, with him unaware. He wanted to use any means he could get, just to hug her. To get close to her as possible. He wanted to eat all the rubbish with her, from vendors at the park. It was crazy, but he wanted t

AlexI couldn't believe Mia told me that Tunde Ibrahim was her problem, and it didn't matter to me anymore. She had cried after hearing everything, and saying it was her fault that Tunde Ibrahim was after my life, and my family's.

MiaFlashback"I was still in my shell while living with my grandma and cousin brothers, because I was still grieving my late parents. It was hard to accept they were gone, and move on." I blew out a big puff off breath, then allowed my eyes to meet his. We maintained eye contact for a while, with my cheeks flushing. Until I looked away from him and carried on with what I was saying. "It was after the kitchen incident when I was thirteen, that I started coming out of my shell. I even became wild. Started wearing and borrowing my cousins clothes. Drink beer with them, do minor jobs just to earn cash, because we were still so poor. We the kids were struggling to make ends meet, because our grandma wasn't really fit to help us. She was quite old then.""I must say, you did enjoyed your stay with them." Alex said, staring at me in a thoughtful manner."Yeah, I did. I miss them very much."
