“Do you want a ride?” Asked a young gentleman as he parked his car in front of me.
Without any hesitation, I entered the car and pulled on the seatbelt. But it didn't seem to work like I expected.
The gentleman chuckled and pressed a button near my seat and the belt presented itself in front of me and I nearly jumped.
“What sort of sorcery is this?” I exclaimed and touched the belt which instantly wrapped itself around me and fixed itself in the small box next to me.
“The latest human technology.”
I glanced the gentleman in the driver's seat and realized he wasn't human either.
“What are you? A demon?” I asked as he started the car.
He stopped the car and sighed. “How can you tell I am not human?”
“You're putting on a black Italian hat, black sunglass and suit. Also I cannot feel your soul- you don't have
I smiled as I read the name of the bar out loud, ‘Bounce be-een bar’Flashback**“Sorry I'm late boss” I said, putting on my apron.“That's a first so I'll let you off today, anymore slacking and you're fired” My boss said dryly. I nodded and went back to my job, serving drinks.“So.. are you getting married?” My boss asked all of a sudden making me shake my head vigorously. “Of course not sir, why would you think that?”“Your ring” My boss said boredly. I started at the ring in my index finger embarrassedly. I couldn't believe I almost forgot about it. A subtle smile appeared on my lips on realizing how simple but beautiful the ring looked. Like a bunch of red roses.“Whoever gave you that, you should marry him”“What?” I nearly choked on hearing my boss's words. Did I perhaps hear wrong?
Was this really Kelly? If she hadn't spoke in her usual condensing manner I wouldn't believe it was her.“Kelly?” i asked as I reached out to caress her now, wrinkly face.It was impossible.. was it really her?“Bella” Said Kelly as she pulled me into a warm hug.I was surprised, I didn't know if it would be right to hug back. After so many years, she still remembered me.Tears rolled down my cheeks as i remembered everything we did together before we separated.“Bella,” said Kelly as she pulled away from the hug and drag me into her house. Nothing much had changed except the furnitures and curtains. I smiled.“Sit down, I'll get you some tea. You must have a lot of tell me!”I smiled and watched as Kelly disappeared into the kitchen. I sat on the couch and sighed. I didn't expect her to respond so casually to seeing me again. I thought she'd
I took a step closer to Kelly with a smirk, “Of course i treated you sincerely but i couldn't fully trust in the matters of the heart because i loved Cameron back then and i couldn't bear losing him. To be honest, you never made me feel secure and i was insecure about my looks and body too. I thought Cameron would forget me when he finds a prettier lady.. oh how petty was i!”Kelly sniffed, “To be honest, I was a little jealous of your luck. You always had the good guys after you.. I can barely believe you would be jealous of me.”I shook my head, “I was human after all, it is not surprising I was petty minded.”Kelly sighed in relief, “If only I had the opportunity to live again, I would live very well.”I helped Kelly sit on the couch and she sighed again, “The only thing I don't regret in my life is meeting you and Alexa. It must have been fate, trying to tie me up with
“Bella, are you alright?” Kelly asked while helping me from under the table. I nodded hesitatedly and watched as the grim reaper disappear right under everyone's noses.“Omg.. look at the little girl she's..”“Dead”A woman in her forties ran to the scene of the accident and bursted into tears, “Amanda!”The trailer who crushed the little girl didn't even bother to check what happened.“Hello 911? There's just been an accident..”My eyes caught a familiar face staring at me angrily from across the street but before i could take a closer look, it was gone.Suddenly i heard a loud cry, “Old lady be careful!”A taxi pulled over in front of Kelly. Thankfully, I was fast enough to pull Kelly out of the way.“Thank you!” i said to the teenager who alerted Kelly and I.“We
“Are you sure you're alright?” I asked for the hundredth time after Kelly started complaining of an intense stomach pain from the coffee shop even when i helped her rest on her comfortable bed. I felt really bad for her.“Should i take you to the hospital?” I asked and Kelly moaned painfully, “What for? So they can tell me I'm running out of time and prescribed some horrible drugs destined to make me choke and kill me?”“Fine. Just stay in bed and I'll wake you up later to do some yoga exercises, perharps it'll ease the pain.”After a whole painful week of having to listen to Kelly's whining, i felt even more scared. She refused to go to the hospital and what more? Insists she will die soon.“Let's go on a stroll and we can even bump into your lover. Isn't that nice?” I asked and Kelly eyes lit up. “Yeah!”Halfway into the stroll, i w
“You're probably in a better place now. I saw your will. You gave me everything you had. You clearly knew you would die soon.” I said while forcing back a chuckle as i stare at Kelly's headstone. “I sold everything and gave it away as charity and donated to a few scientists to find the cure to your disease so other patients can hopefully recover.” “I-i hope you're happy with what i did.” I said. I put my hands in my jean pocket and turned to leave when i saw a familiar face knee on my grave while holding a bunch of flowers in his hands. “Bella..” he sighed. “I know i am not worthy to come here but please forgive me. I-i am sorry i forced you to kill yourself. I-i only wanted to scare you, I didn't know.. i didn't know my boys would go too far.. I-i am really sorry.” I was beyond surprised. Wasn't this Jarrod, my human ex-lover? He really had some guts. After killing me he came here to ask forgiveness. I laughed, “Jarrod.” He shivered and turned to look me. His eyes widened and h
It had been two weeks since i discovered that I was pregnant, like many women, i was excited when i found out about it at the hospital. My husband's mother, Danielle was there with me. She was very happy to finally become a grandmother after a few years of pestering me and Jarrod to give birth to a child.I didn't tell my husband, Jarrod about it yet because today was our anniversary and also my birthday. I wanted to announce it to everyone downstairs and surprise Jarrod.I took a deep breath and looked beside me but Jarrod wasn't in bed. It was quite unusual because Jarrod never got out of bed as early as 6am in the morning. It was always up to me to beat his arse to wake him up every single day.But today was an exception, it seemed like Jarrod have something special planned for us.A giddy smile escaped my lips as the bathroom door opened revealing a cute and manly looking husband.
“Jarry!” I snapped, about to blurt out all the anger in my heart but he interupted me before I even got started.“-Don't come any closer, bitch. I already know the truth about you!” He yelled, his eyes filled with tears that made me laugh like the psycho I was.He even called me a bitch! I chuckled internally hitting my boobs lightly that the small crowd that had gathered started looking at me as though I had gone mad. They weren't wrong though. I was mad! I was fu*king mad! I hadn't started acting up and he already called me a bi*chI was about to vent when my eyes spotted Kelly looking at me with a smirk evident on her face.That was an emotion she couldn't quickly change even when she met my eyes. I immediately felt the disagreement between me and Jarry had something to do with her.“Bitch what'd you say to my husband?” My legs started walking in Kelly's direction and she started retreating, her eyes filled with tears. That instantly cracked me up. When did Kelly suddenly become a
