"Thanks for the ride," Natasha said to the teenage boy as she climbed down his bike. She smiles shyly under his scrutinizing gaze, biting her lower lip, then looking down. Her heat leaped a bit when he gave her a bright smile in return. "The pleasure is all mine," he answered, giving her a kiss on her cheek. "I will see you in school tomorrow?"She nodded, her insides, dancing with joy. "Yes," she answered. "You will see me in school tomorrow. " He nodded, gave her another kiss, said bye, revved up his bike and drove away. Natasha bit her inner cheek as she watched him drive away. If someone had told her that she would be riding on her crush's bike and he would be kissing her cheek, she never would have believed the person. But well, it happened. She couldn't believe her luck. She grinned. 'Wait until I tell Malvika about it,' she thought. 'She would be so excited for me.'With those thoughts, Natasha joyfully skipped into the house. She walked past the empty living room and climbed
"What the heck?!" Diane finally verbalized, storming into the room. "What the heck happened here? Was she robbed?!"Nicholas gave her a weird look. "No, I don't think so, Diane. I think she just stood up to leave.""Well, where the hell is she?!"Nicholas frowned. "How should I know?"Diane whirled around to face him. "You should know!" She yelled. "I left my two sisters under your care. And now one of them has disappeared without a trace! What the hell, Nicholas?! I thought you were responsible.""What?" Nicholas stared at her, am incredulous look on his face. "Need I remind you, Diane," he said, in an extremely controlled voice, "that Malvika is an adult who can be responsible for herself.""Oh, don't you dare talk to me in that tone," Diane growled. "Besides, it obvious that she carefully packed her things and left. How is that my fault?" he asked. Diane glared at him for a while. Then, she shoved him aside and rushed out of the room, towards the hallway and down the stairs. As s
Malvika pulled her bag and luggage after her, walking out of the airport. She had no idea what to do or where she was going. But she knew she couldn't go back to New York. Not anymore. She could never call her sisters again, at least not for a long while. She had blocked their numbers and even blocked them on all of her social media including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. She was starting a new life. Maybe after a while, when she had settled down, she would finally call them to apologize. She would tell them that it needed to be done and that she had no choice. But for now, all she could do was ghost them. Standing by the side of a road, she waved her hands to flag down an empty cab and the driver parked beside her. "Hi. Can you just take me to the nearest hotel?" she asked. He frowned at her unusual request. "I'm sorry. I'm new to Florida and I don't really know anywhere here. So, could you help me out. Just drop me at the nearest hotel, please, thank you."He nodded and she op
Malvika rose up from the bed and walked to the window side. She stood there, looking down at the parking lot. Mentally, she started counting the the numbers of cars in the parking lot, unsure of what else to do. After a while, she sighed and glanced at her phone on the bed. The sudden urge to pick up the phone and call Diane overwhelmed her but she managed to shrug it off and glance back outside.She had absolutely no plan for today but as she thought about it, she decided to go out and scout for a job. She needed one if she was going to ever survive without Diane and Natasha. Malvika had never actually lived alone or be responsible herself alone in her life. At first, when her father was still alive, he used to send her a couple of bonuses in a month because she was a passive partner of the company. Then, when he died, Diane placed her on a monthly salary. But now, she wasn’t sure that was possible anymore. If she wanted this to work, she had to find an actual job.But the thing was
Diane and Natasha climbed out of the car and headed into the company’s building. The security men at door mumbled greetings to Diane and she nodded in reply, walking straight towards her receptionist, Ariana’s desk.Immediately Arian saw Diane coming, she rose to her feet and greeted as politely as she could, “Good morning Miss Matthews.”“Ariana, how are you doing this morning?” Diane asked.“Fine, thank you ma.” She paused, hesitating. Then, she said, “Um… ma, my apologies for your….. your sister's disappearance.”“Oh, I see you’ve heard about that,” Diane said, shrugging her shoulders while trying to play it cool. Behind her, Natasha rolled her eyes. “Anyway, that’s kind of the thing I wanted to talk to you about.”“Oh?”“Hmm. Ariana, I need your help,” Diane started to say.Ariana straightened up. “With what ma?” she asked in a polite and respectful tone.“Like you said, my sister is no where to be found and well, she isn’t picking any of our calls and we really need to know her l
Malvika stumbled through the hotel doors, ignoring the looks that people have her. She looked and felt exhausted and she knew it. As she turned to walk into the elevator, she saw Haley standing by her desk and walked towards her. “Hi,” She greeted, slumping into the tall stool that was across Haley.Haley glanced at her. “Hi. Malvika, right?”Malvika nodded. “Yeah. I came here to look for you this morning,” she said. “But the guy here said you weren’t around yet.” She had forgotten the guy's name.“Right. My shifts starts at twelve in the afternoon,” Haley replied. “And it ends by ten. How are you doing?” she asked politely.“I’m stressed out,” Malvika groaned. “I’m tired and I just want to lay down and sleep. I have no idea what to do. I’m so fucking tired.”“Is something wrong?” Haley inquired. Then, she hurriedly said, “Sorry for asking. I don’t mean to be a snoop but it’s just that you look really…..well, stressed. You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.”“No, it’s okay,”
Jenny and Ashley decided to celebrate by going to the bar, just the two of them alone. They wanted to celebrate the fact that they were finally getting rid of the Matthews Sisters. First, it was Malvika. Next, would be Diane. Natasha wasn’t a bother to them. She never was. Wherever her elder sister went, she would go to.The two of them – Jenny and Ashley – walked into the bar both wearing a pair of mini skirt and a sleeveless top that stopped right in the middle of their boobs.They walked to the counter where the bartender was standing, mixing drinks. The bartender beamed when he saw them. He knew Jenny. She was a regular customer. “Hello, Jenny,” he greeted. “I see you brought a friend.”“Hey, what’s up, Lenny?” Jenny grinned at him. “Lenny, this Ashley, she’s a friend, like you said.”Ashley waved at Lenny and he smiled at her, then, said to Jenny, “Right, what would you have?”“We could both use a whiskey tonight,” Jenny said and Ashley nodded beside her. Lenny nodded at them and
Malvika decided to stay in the hotel today. She encountered massive disappointments the previous day and she didn’t want a repeat. Besides, she and Haley made plans to catch a late breakfast and Haley has already said she would meet her in front of the hotel. Malvika certainly thought that was better than going on another fruitless job hunt.So, instead of waking up early like she did yesterday, she slept in late and woke up around eight o'clock. Then, she went to take her bath and freshen up, after which she slipped on some clothes she thought was proper for going out with a friend. It was a red tank top and a black mermaid skirt. Then, Malvika sat down and waited for Haley.Haley didn’t drop a phone number. She only said to meet Malvika at the hotel, so Malvika assumed she would come to her room. However, Malvika didn’t know how long Haley would take.Around nine o'clock, Malvika heard a knock on her door and she stood up, walked briskly to it and pulled it open, glad to see Haley s
