Everything ~

Katherine

I was done working for the day and Cherry, another worker who happens to really like me, dropped her bag on the chair and took a seat.

I don't know why she does but we've never had a conversation that lasted for five minutes before.

It was just our normal Hi and heys but whenever I pass by, she gives me the best smile there ever is and pleads to be my friend.

"Are you done working?" I asked and she nodded.

"I don't know why the whole place is so busy today. I hate it, really. Thank God I'm off, I can't say the same for Amy though."

"You mean the redhead?" I asked.

"Yes. She's my roommate. But we're planning to relocate to New York. Italy is beautiful, yes but New York would be better for us. Amy has an Aunt over there who owns a building and since we don't have money for rent..I think it's best we go back and lay low for a while."

"Oh. But I thought the payment was huge."

"Of course it is. But w

    Chapter 49 The City of New York ~Katherine Two weeks later, I was standing in front of Grandma, Enzo, and Dante as Cherry and Amy pushed my bag into the car.You'd be surprised to know that Luna is the pink van we'll be driving to the airport and she'll be transporting with us, I don't know how but Cherry and Amy got that covered. And Dexter is Amy's chihuahua. You heard me right, a chihuahua.God help me!"Don't forget to call and send me messages," Grandma said as she pulled me into a long hug.She looked so small in my arms and so tired, I felt like comforting her but I really needed to go. If I were to stay any minute, I'll damn everything and go back upstairs."And you can grow these on your farm." She said, dropping a small bag of seeds in Cherry's Van."It contains a seed of melon, maize, a seed of pawpaw, and also kiwi and many other things. I labelled them differently, you won't get confused. Take good care of Katherine for m

  • A DROP OF BLOOD   Deal

    Chapter 47 Deal~Alexander The Irish bastards laughed too loudly. Their voices filled the private suite of my hotel, smoke curling in the air, whiskey glasses clinking against the polished mahogany table. The meeting was meant to be clean, business-only, but I’ve been in this game long enough to know: when the Irish gather, there’s always some filth clinging to the edges.I hate them, but this business is one I've been betting on for a long time, and I wouldn't let it slip away.I was already calculating the angles, weighing every word as Seamus O’Donovan droned on about percentages, shipments, the necessity of an “understanding” between his family and mine. My mind, as always, was five steps ahead. If this deal slipped, the Colombians would taste blood and demand a share in quarter four, something I would never bend for them.Three years, I reminded myself. Three years of this charade until the contract dissolved and s

  • A DROP OF BLOOD   Breaking Point

    Chapter 46 Breaking Point ~KatherineI didn't go to work today. Reese came to get me and when she saw my pale face, she demanded I stay home and continue next week.I stayed in my room most of the day, reading the books I had taken from the library upstairs.I didn't eat anything at breakfast this morning, I couldn't stomach anything at all. My mouth felt greasy and bitter.I picked up the iPad and began to scroll through some ideas I had gotten from Reese and her department. I was now known as the genius configuration master. Ask me how I got to do that and I wouldn't even know how to explain. "Hey, guys." I waved at the group.We were having a video call on how to analyse and decode a series of data."I don't know this, so please, I just called to learn. I really love doing this." I said with a smile and Josh nodded."Okay, here's how we're going to decode this and-"Time went by till it was noon.I sighed, dropping the p

  • A DROP OF BLOOD   Silence

    Chapter 45 Silence ~KatherineI woke to the sound of silence.That kind of silence that isn’t really quiet, but presses against your ears so heavily it feels like the ocean is holding its breath.It wasn't even up to forty minutes.The faint glow of the moon filtered through the blinds of my window. My pillow was still damp from the tears I had spilled hours ago, the salt of it clinging to my lips when I dragged my tongue across them. My chest ached so hard, I'm not sure there's a medicine for it.I sat up slowly, hugging my knees to my chest, staring at the faint steam curling from the abandoned mug of tea on my nightstand. It was cold now, forgotten, much like me.The thought made me smile sadly. Forgotten. Maybe that’s what I had been all along, just a thing until something better came along.A knock startled me. It was firm, like whoever was behind the door had been standing there for a while, debating whether to com

  • A DROP OF BLOOD   Like Before

    Chapter 44 Like Before ~Katherine The small party continued as slow music tuned through the air.Grandma said it's like a ritual, holding a party in the beach once a while. She said it makes them look..... different somehow. I don't know how but it sure did.To every other eyes, they were like a big family, coming together after a nasty week."Do you want another?" Grandma asked and I shook my head.She's been asking me that for over thirty minutes. I didn't know she liked me that much but after my little emotional drainage, she's been everything I never had while growing up. It felt...good to finally have someone who cared for me truly."Hi." Dante smiled, taking a seat with us.Grandma and I were seated at the farthest place, away from the crowd and I liked it. I like the silence and I loved the clashing of waves, sweeping off the shores of the beach and leaving silence at it's wake. It made me feel... peaceful."Hey." I sm
