The music boomed at the party making Josephine cover her ears as she walked in and she faced Madison who walked beside her, "are you sure about this?""Yes sure, I'm sure, I just haven't been to a party in a long time,""Okay stick with me then and keep your mask on through the rest of the party, let me find Andrea,""Wait..."She stopped her girlfriend from going further, "...is it really necessary to look for her?""Yes, I just want to tell her that I'm around and I'll come back to you, okay?""Okay then,""I'll be right back,"She watched her girlfriend go through the crowd and went to the counter where a lot of drinks were placed. She picked one."That's a Martina mixture, you sure you can handle that one?"She nodded to the lady that had come beside her and sipped the drink, "I can hold my liquor,""Very well, I'm Alex, who are you?""Madison,""Oh... Did you come here alone?""No, I came with my girlfriend,""Oh... That is unexpected,""Why because I'm looking like I don't fit in
The studio was greasy with a few paints here and there and Alva looked at the painting that stood in the middle. She went around it and looked for the person she had come to see, "Helen...""I'm coming, just a minute,"She probably didn't know who was looking for her yet but she would be a good sport to give a surprise. She stood in a corner and continued waiting until she heard a gasp behind her back, "Alva?"She turned around to see the person that had called her and saw a surprised Helen, "my god Alva... Where have you been?"She immediately got engulfed in a hug and smiled, "here and there, how have you been too?""Good,"They pulled apart from the hug."I can't believe you're here, when did you get back, why did you even leave without a message, I was worried as well as Jessie, also the baby, where is he or... Is it her?""No, it’s a he,"She chuckled.I Guess Jessie hadn't told her about the supposed miscarriage then, she couldn't tell everybody."So where is he, the boy, what i
The house was quiet with different lights illuminating the corners here and there and Alva bent in front of her son to adjust his collar. She whispered to him, "I want you to be on your best behavior today okay... We're visiting your daddy?""Who is daddy?"She stood up about to answer when the door opened to reveal Jaxon, she startled, "hey...""Hi, I heard a car drive in and thought it would be you,""Uhmm yeah, uh... Why are you holding those coats though?""For you guys, we are going to an amusement park...""Wait what... You said--""Yes, I know... I know I said we should meet up at my house but there are no fun things to do in my house, we could just go to the amusement park,""But I didn't pack a bag, I didn't prepare for anything...""That's fine, I did some preparations and I think that should be enough,"She pursed her lips and sighed, "what do you know about preparing to know what is enough?""I packed some towels, snacks, food, and coats to keep us warm...""But...""Also
The dinner place was filled with customers chitchatting in their place and making their orders and Silas picked up the menu with Jessie, "what do you want to get... Steak?""I think steak will be fine with vegetables and potatoes,""Okay, and for the wine...""Carbenets would be fine,""Okay then, we would get two of that, two steaks for me and her and a cabinets wine,""Okay sir", the waiter said and left their table."So..." Jessie cleared her throat, "...why did you bring us to this faraway restaurant, I thought we would be going to a closer one?""Well, I thought it would be nice to go to a restaurant that was different from the ones we know and nobody could easily recognize us yet,""That's true,"They hadn't told their friends yet and if Alva found out before they finalized anything, things could get more complicated."So how was your work today, you said you had a planning event?""Yes, that went nice and the plan was set in motion,""Okay then, why don't we start by telling ea
Josephine sat down at the office the next day looking at the long list of work she had to do that day and she sighed. She had the machine running before her but she couldn't concentrate on its contents as she had quite another thing on her mind.Madison.She still hadn't contacted her since that day and she was worried, was she just busy or avoiding her or most likely angry?She sighed and ruffled her hair."Miss Smith..."She looked up at her assistant that walked in and smiled slightly, "what is it?""The program you told me to develop the other day... I did it and thought I should show you...""Oh good, let me see it,"He walked closer to her and placed the laptop on the table, "here it is, the features, cons, and pros of the app and anything you might want to adjust...""Okay I'll take a look at it but now, go get me that file from the other department, I need to take a look at it,""Okay, ma'am,""And use your glasses very well,""Uhn?"She looked up at him sighing, "they are sit
Alva sat at the island later with Jordan sitting opposite her and they sipped their chocolate drink. Her sister had finally managed to calm down after she had arrived and she was calling her manager now to explain everything to her. "So how did you find out?""Uhn?""...about us?" Her sister's girlfriend continued and she shrugged."Madison told me when we were making up and I found out that it was you she was dating, how did you guys meet though?""It's tricky,""Oh tell me, I never really heard how you guys met and I would like to hear it,""Well, we met at my ex's tattoo shop,""Ex's tattoo shop... She got a tattoo?""Yeah on her right hip,""Wow, that must have been what brought you guys to close in?""No, not really, not until we met at a club and had a one-night stand,""What... you guys had a one-night stand?""Yeah it's probably why we have great chemistry bu
Alva met with Helen the next day and they finalized the building buying before going to the city's mall to get some painting materials. She had told Helen what she had in mind and she was helping her diligently herself, "thank you for meeting up with me today,""Of course, it's not like I have anything better to do, my daughter is at school, and life can get pretty boring easily,""Okay, I called Jessie to meet us too but she's not picking up, I wonder why...""Maybe she's busy with a boyfriend...""No...if she was she would have told me and she's not someone who can keep a secret very well, she's always obvious,""Okay then, maybe it's work,""That's the only explanation,"They smiled."So you want to get a canvas right?""Yes, a lot of them and paint brushes, also frames if they're possible,""Okay then, let's go,"They went into a painting materials shop and picked out a lot of materials Alva would be needing. She still wanted to do some paintings before she opened the gallery and
Jaxon rang the bell of Alva's house the next evening and straightened his collar before waiting for her to open the door. She opened the door and he was stunned by the outfit she wore. She had put on a dress of black color with the arms down the sides a little and a beautiful pendant necklace adorned her neck, "Wow... You look beautiful,""Thanks, you don't look too bad yourself,""Thank you,""Come in then and thank you for offering to pick us,""No it was no problem, it was only sensible that we went together in the same car,""Okay, I just want to put some finishing touches to my hair and dress up for Jay,""Oh, I could help you with that...""Really?""Yeah, where is he?"As if on cue, his son ran out of the room and stood in the sitting room holding a toy, "Jay say hi,"He said hi and Jaxon smiled at him, "Where are the clothes?""In the room where he came out from, it's just remaining the top,""Okay, I'll put it on for him and comb his hair right...""You sure you could do that
