Chapter 61 - Leisure Close to Midnight (II)

I just remembered July 4th, how I and my buddy Santiago almost blew my fingers off. So I asked what you did on the 4th of July. "Deciding to just go on with the conversation, she says, "I just did the usual fireworks, I guess. That's the only loud stuff I can enjoy for a bit.""Ladies don't do fireworks, Loretta, you leave that to us men."

Chapter 62 - Close to Midnight (III)

"Shit!" She cursed, squatting to pick the broken pieces up. I am so sorry, Kendrick. I'm really sorry. Kendrick squats too, really close to her now, to help pick up the broken pieces. It's OK, Loretta, let me help. Don't pick them up too quickly, or you'll cut yourself. "  Feeling his hot breath close to hers now, it didn't exactly have that minty smell like it did back at the office, but it did smell good. She looked up at him, and she saw he was looking at her, so she put her head down again. This time, she got over what was wrong with her quickly enough to stand up and apologize. "I'm sorry, I'll pay for it." "No, it's fine. It was an accident; it happens every time. I'll dish the food; you go sit down at the dining table. "   The table was obviously made of glass too. I mean, if the kitchen island was made of glass, there was nothing to stop the dining table from being glass too. Loretta sat patien

Chapter 63 - Getting Her Home

So much for a juicy grace, so much for a turkey lasagna, so much for actually being in Kendrick's house in the first place. These were the thoughts going through Loretta's mind as she stared straight at Kendrick, waiting for him to say something. She had already lost her appetite, and she could feel the rage burning in her. She hated people with the attitude of easily flaring anger without actually approaching the situation like a normal human being. It pissed the hell out of her. And now she's starting to feel something for Kendrick, and he does this. Hopefully, whatever he was going to say wouldn't make her say anything hurtful, because he was good at that. And her favorite jammies were lasagna stained, which made her want to cry; the thought of getting home, taking it off to wear another one, and then adding it to her laundry was exhausting. She felt the imaginary glue on her seat loosening up. She was just a snap away from getting up and asking to go home

Chapter 64 – Saturday Was A Letdown

"I deserve it." Kendrick kept saying this as he went back to the car. He kept thinking about tonight, regretting not telling her. It would have been easier. He told himself, "Why didn't I just tell her? She'll never talk to me again. I know this for sure. I just hope she does talk to me. "   Loretta, back at her apartment, leans with her back on the door, hating how the whole thing ended. It was close to a total disaster. She did nothing but sleep while it rained outside.   ***   Waking up wasn't that bad; everywhere felt peaceful. Loretta got up from bed to check the time. It was past 9 a.m. How did she sleep that long?

Chapter 65 – Wisteria

Sunday was going by pretty fast for Loretta, with her just watching thrillers and horror films all day. She also finally did her laundry; the stain on her fleece PJs wasn't that difficult to wash off. Not knowing what else to do, she just stood and watched the clothes spin in the washing machine.   Now holding a huge bowl of popcorn, she sits upside down on her sofa, watching one of the thrillers. Then she heard her phone ring, and the sound was combined with someone screaming. She sat up straight and saw that it was Roy calling.   "Hey Loretta, how you doing?" "I'm OK." She says, while stuffing popcorn in her mouth, the crun

Chapter 66 – Meeting Sebastian

"Damn it!" a voice sounded from behind the shelf, as a flower pot fell to the ground and shattered, making a mess of flowers and dirt. Loretta moves some of the flowers a bit, to get a tiny glimpse of who was going to pay more than they bargained for. She saw blonde hair, and when he turned his face, she saw it was him, the man she'd seen at the meeting that she recognized, but didn't know where she'd seen his face.   Mom, you said this would be easy. Well, it's not... no..why did you send just me to a flower shop? You know, I don't do so well with flowers. " From what Loretta heard, he was talking to someone on the phone now, and from what she saw, it was his mother. He just dialed her number.   Yes, I broke something. Now I got to pay extra, and I still don't know what to get her... no, I said no mom.." He bent to pick more broken pieces off the floor, but Loretta could still hear what he was saying.

Chapter 67 – No Pool, No Permission

Of course, Loretta had to explain exactly who the flowers were for to Roy on their way to his house because he wouldn't stop pestering her to tell him. It was getting pretty annoying, but she couldn't tell him that. It would sound too rude. And if telling him would make it stop, then why not?   The drive to Roy's house was longer compared to Kendrick's. Maybe it was because he took a shortcut, or maybe it had something to do with his cranking the accelerator. They didn't talk much during the drive, which made Loretta think of Kendrick and why he hadn't called her all this time. Maybe not to apologize again, but at least act as she exists. She felt if she called him, it would make her desperate. But it was totally fine if he called her. She wanted to know what happened to Kendrick's family.   "Hey, Roy," she breaks the silence. Sorry, I know I said the flower shop was closed. I sort of lied. You don't have to call me o

Chapter 68 - MONDAY

Monday was just like every other Monday, where Loretta had to wake up really tired and not have the strength to make any breakfast for herself. So, she would either go to a café close to the office and have breakfast, or just wait till it was time for her lunch break. Roy's alarm was the best; it had the best noise. If that's the right way to put it, She was more than happy that she smashed hers; if not, she wouldn't have gotten this one from Roy.   She kept thinking of what Roy did. She felt he didn't exactly kiss her, and it didn't count. But she wondered why she froze. She didn't hate it, and she didn't like it either.

Chapter 69 – The Accident

"Who is it, Octavious? You better not be fooling around with me." For some reason, Loretta was terrified. It wasn't like anyone was after her life, but the whole story about Kendrick looking like shit, and how everyone was acting all strange, didn't go well. She heard slow footsteps coming, but they weren't from Octavious. At that moment, she hated how, from where she sat, she couldn't directly see anyone that came into her office. She'd have to wait for them to come in properly, which she was doing now.   Kendrick! She gasps. Luckily it was Kendrick, and he wasn't carrying any knives. "Shit! Kendrick, you look like shit. What happened to you? What are you doing here? " "I thought

Chapter 70 – Home Food At Work

"What's in the bag?" Loretta asks. She'd been wanting to see what was in the bag since Octavious dropped it off. It's not like it's been long since he left, but that was how impatient she was. "It's actually for you. Here you go." Kendrick says, handing her the bag. "Is it? What's in it? " "Open it and see what's in it."   Opening it, she gives Kendrick side looks that just make him laugh and say, "Go on, open it." She brings out a transparent plastic food container, and she looks at the contents, trying to find out what the food was. "Lasagna! She says her face brightens up so much. Did you make lasagna for me? Wait, is this leftover from that night? " "Oh no it's not, I threw those away." The three are fresh new badges, different flavors. "Three? She looks into the bag and brings out two more food containers. Wow, two more, and you said they're different flavors? " Yeah, different flavors. The fir
