The Lovely Loner 20. The Party (The past)
Friday came quickly and uneventful for Ann, whenever she sees Rex in one direction, she does the other way and doesn’t even blink an eye at his direction. It was as if she was ignoring him like a plague which didn’t sit well with Rex. He didn’t know how to feel nor how to get a reaction from her, he tried all he could but she ignores him like a plague.In the evening of that Friday evening, she was just at home, on her couch watching some cartoons showing on the television. She didn’t have work this evening as Manager Lee told her to take the time off to rest, his exact words were,” I don’t want a tired and zombie looking staff on duty, you might scared our customers off. Go home, we will talk later and you’d tell me everything. This isn’t me asking, this is me commanding, I want to know everything. This has been going on for far too long..... shoo shoo go away.” He chased her away that hot afternoon.She smiled at the fond memory, bored at home and getting emotional because of the fla

When Rex and Judith made their appearance looking for Ann, Craves was thrown into a frenzy and all the attention was given to the annoyed looking Rex who was in despair and desperate for answers. He turned the place outside down looking for Ann but not even her shadow was found at that place. When his arrogant behavior couldn’t fetch him what he was looking for, he humbled himself for answers. “Please? Please anyone with any information on Ann’s whereabouts should kindly let me know. I-I will do anything and pay any amount for that information ......” Rex pleaded throwing away his pride and ego. This wasn’t the place nor time for his infl

Lee was in his office making calls to confirm the final arrangements of the currently heartbroken and depressed girl on his couch, he was extremely surprised when he got that phone call that dawn from Ann. Putting the phone from his last call down he remembered what happened clearly, she was crying hysterically which took him by great surprise. Ann hardly cries, he had never seen her cry since he knew her so to hear her crying like that broke his heart into a million pieces, he asked her to wait for him as he drove to get her. The sight of her coiled like a ball in the cold weather on the love bench on the park still makes his heart clench bitterly. He went to her that dawn and picked her up, she didn’t even make a sound making him wonder if she knew it was him carrying her or simply didn’t care, when he took her to his place, she was a hot mess. She was sobbing throughout the night, that night was a painful and sad one for both of them, they couldn’t sleep a wink.Not knowing what t

Mum! Mum! Come out, we’ve been waiting for you for minutes, we were hoping you’d come out the car but you kept staring into space like the aliens are coming. Wait... mummy! are the aliens coming?”, her son asked with a fearful expression.She laughed and a look at him with a particular kind of tenderness that could be seen in place of the look of hatred she was spotting earlier,” you silly boy, of cos no aliens are coming. Mum-mummy was just thinking about the past.” She muttered softly.Ryan frowned,”the past again? It must be very a very bad experience because mummy anytime you think about the past, you get so angry and turn to be in a bad mood.
