“oh what’s that look I see on your face?” Vanessa says as she gives a sly smile.“What look are you talking about? I don’t know about anything, how did Bart even come into the picture?” Lola asked. At this point she had been avoiding eye contact with her mother.“Look honey, if you’ve had a man follow you around as long as that young man has been around you, chances are that he’s in love with you and he doesn’t know. Either that or he knows but for some reason he can’t tell you. Maybe fear of ruining the friendship in the likely event where you aren’t interested.” Vanessa said.Lola scoffed and put both hands on her hips. “you don’t know Bart like I do, Mom. I think if he was in love with me I’d know after all these years.”Vanessa cleared her throat and closed her eyes. “well, maybe I’m wrong about him feeling something for you. But then again, what about you? What do you honestly feel for him?”Lola was taken by surprise. She was used to freezing or getting defensive whenever she wa

Bart arrived at the hospital. He paid the driver and gave him something a little extra for making him laugh and taking his mind off pressing issues at that time. “You were very entertaining sir. Thank you” He said as the cab drove away. The driver then waved out the front seat window as he drove out of sight. Bart walked in to the counter area where he met a nurse. “Hello there, what can I do for you?” She asked. Her face was buried in files that needed to be attended to. “I’m looking for a patient, she goes by the name ‘Vanessa’. Used to be a doctor, a friend of mine told me she was admitted here.” Bart explained. The nurse looked up at him for some seconds and focused back on her papers. “are you a cop?” she asked. “no, I’m not. I’m a friend of her daughter. Why would you even think that?” Bart questioned. He felt uneasy because his time was being wasted. “That’s exactly what a cop would say. Are you related to the family?” she asked. “I’ve been friends with her daughter sinc

Lola was still at a loss for words as Bart stood in front of her. They stared each other passionately. There was no speaking, their eyes said everything there was to be said.Tears dripped down Lola’s face as she hugged Bart tightly.“You came, you son of a bitch, how dare you decide me” She said. She was laughing and crying at the same time. Eventually Bart started laughing too.“I’m sorry I did that, I was already on my way when you called. I wasn’t going to ruin the surprise for any reason.” Bart said.They broke the embrace and Bart wiped the tears off her face.“That’s what makes me so happy, you just noticed my absence and you immediately set out to find me. Mr. Adamson, you’re so obsessed, it’s almost like you can’t do without me” Lola said, she had a sly smile on her face.“Keep dreaming, Janette. I’m just here because we made a promise. I’ll have you know that I’m the type of man that keeps his promises” Bart said.“huh, I see. Well, I think that’s really cool. Look at you go

It had been a few days since Bart and Lola returned from Visiting her mother.The new living arrangement would have been inconvenient for Lola but since she was living with Bart, the fact that she was now a homeless person didn’t bother her much. At the same time it really bothered her because she was freeloading but Bart kept telling her he didn’t mind having her around.“What do you want for breakfast?” Lola asked. Like every other morning, Bart was preparing for work and she offered to make him breakfast.“I’ve told you it’s really fine, Lo. You don’t have to make me breakfast. I’ll make you breakfast” Bart says as he adjusts the apron worn over his work clothes and enters the kitchen.Lola follows him into the kitchen immediately. “I think I know what this is about. You’ve been trying to stop me from cooking for a straight week. I just know” Lola said.“No Lola, this isn’t about you not knowing how to cook anything suitable for human consumption. I just don’t like stressing you” B

“No no, it’s nothing like that I promise. I just admired you and I didn’t know if I’d ever see you again so I decided to take my chances, I don’t usually do things like these. I’m actually a really shy person” He explained, nervously stroking the back of his hair as he wore a smile which didn’t do a good job at concealing his anxiety.Lola’s anger dropped, when she looked at him acting like that, She remembered Barth.“Okay, Josh. You’ve earned a few seconds of my attention” Lola said, giving him a smile meant to put him at ease.Josh stood back, marveled at the sudden change in behavior of the strange woman standing in front of him.“My name is Joshua, Josh for short. I live not so far away from here. I work remote jobs from my home. Lola, this might sound sudden but can I have your number? You look fun and I’d like to hangout with you sometime if you don’t mind” Josh said.“hangout? Like a date? You never asked if I was single” Lola said.“Are you?” Josh asked.“hand me your phone.”

Bart sat on a couch, across from a man. The man was dressed in a red shirt with a black tux on top. He poured glasses of wine for both him and Bart. They were in a bar that looked very classy. The type only rich people could afford.After what seemed like forever Bart broke the silence."Why'd you call me?,I'm guessing it's not because you needed a drinking buddy,Simon?"He laughed."I did need a drinking buddy but yes,that isn't the actual reason. I think you're well aware of why i wanted to meet you."Bart was silent, almost like he had lost his ability to speak."You've hurt Katelyn so much,i don't know why she hurts herself over useless trash like you!."Suddenly Simon's tone went from soft to raging."You heartless piece of shit.
