All Chapters of Something On The Inside: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

AlexI was stunned when I saw the face of the girl which I had taken to the hospital the previous night. It was the same reporter at the hotel.It was funny how we insulted each other, and I ended up saving her that same day.I couldn't help but ponder, of all people, I was the one who'd saved her. And of all people, she was the one who had been shot and abandoned in a bushy surrounding.Who could have wanted to waste the life of the young girl? Although, she had a running mouth which could engage her in trouble where ever she went. But not to the extent of being shot. No.The bullet which was shot on her chest was operated and she was currently on treatment. It was a miracle she didn't die. It was rare for one to survive a gunshot on the chest.I des

Alex"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 bittersweet shivers down my spine.Noticing my tensed mood, she flicked her eyes opened and rewarded me with grin. Showing me the gap in her teeth which I loved so much. Then she pulled away from me.It was odd because we were the only couple on the beach, no human figure was there. Not even Bruce and Benny, my dogs. Which became more fremd, because I loved taking my dogs with me for an evening walk at the beach. Wether with company or not. But the beach was deserted.I returned my eyes to the woman who had captured my heart and wrapped in be

MiaThe following day, after the endless search of a job, I finally secured one at a bookshop. Although, the payment was very little, but it was worth putting food on the table so I accepted it. I had trekked till my foot hurt and I was sweating profusely, with big fat patchy designs of perspiration on my under arms. At a point, the pain in my chest grew worst and the knots in my stomach tightened like I was having period cramps. I increased my pace.I was now few blocks away from my steet when I spotted a black car with black tinted glasses trailing after me. At a point, I stopped and feigned as if I was resting, and the car stopped too.Afraid it was who I thought it was, I carried on walking very fast, like a mother who was hurrying to go home to nurse her crying infant. I made the decision to hide behind a stall where elec

AlexShe was so different from all the ladies I had come across. She always spoke her mind, and feigned nothing. Unlike most ladies who were good at pretending. She didn't even give a care about the way she dress. And I would've sworn that she could put on a garbage sack, and wouldn't mind.We hopped out of the car and made our way to the house."So, you live here with your family." She inquired as she followed me into the house. Pushing her glasses up which seem to be falling down every second, because of how small and delicate her nose was.Why was she so carefree after the incident that occurred an hour ago? Hell, she was acting like nothing happened back at her apartment."I bought this house." I informed her, and then watch her jaw drop. She blinked

Bolu"You guys did what?""We had-"Yes!" Jordan squealed, interrupting me from going on with what I had in mind to say."I've not said it yet." I chuckled playing with the spoon inside my ice cream. I was at a bistro, having lunch and gossiping with Jordan over the phone."I know." A pause, I could hear the chattering of pots and pans "You know I'm busy in the kitchen right now." There was another pause. "That's it, done." I heard the slapping of palms together. My heart swelled up with amazement, because Jordan was at home cooking for the family. What a relief. I hummed in satisfaction at this. "So tell me again girl. You and Alex actually did it together, huh?""Yes. I still can't believe we did it, it was all like a dream. Jord."
