59. ADVICES FROM ELDERS.
Amelia presented the drinks on their table with her head bowed down.
She felt so silly she could not look Christian in the eye.
She met Kristopher's eyes but offered no explanation.
The friends were chattering, enjoying the night, dining in the rooftop club.
The view was breathtaking, the skyline, the wind blew so perfectly, the clear sky was all black.
Amelia was done for the day, she was given the money for the day and her shift was now, over.
Walking pass by them, she heard Blair's pleasant voice when she said, "Hey, Amelia. Come and join us for the drinks."
"No, thanks. I can't sit and have drinks with my customers."
"Oh, come on. My dad will ask the owner to raise your pay and give you some extra tips. And it's no big deal to have drinks with the customers," Blair winked in her direction as she was completely drunk.

Who do you love?" asked the old grandfather and he hesitated as he replied, "Me? I-I don't love anyone...""Oh hush!

If my majesty agrees, can I go and take the shower? I don't want to be late for work,""Indeed, you can but let me come in with you," he replied pissing her off when she pushed the door and it hurt him when he hissed in pain."Oh my God! Did I hurt you? I'm so sorry..." she went on her knees to see if he has hurt his foot or not when he also got on his knees, his eyes soft for her, so were hers."If I'm laying here with you, it doesn't mean I forgive you, it's just because of Amelia and Christian.

Does it mean that you are not engaged anymore? No... so please, stop," she was wearing a bathrobe and a towel on her head when she walked to Hope's room where she saw the couple was drying each other.Although they were wearing bathrobes Amel

There was a party going on in the Carrusel when Christian dragged her in the club.The club is electric tonight, everyone feeding off of the smiles and fast dancing. The music was as loud as thunder; it made the cutlery on the tabletops rattle. Neon lights flashed everywhere like police sirens, but much more colourful."Let's go back, Christian. It's late and you're drunk," she said, a worried expression on her face when he put his finger on her lips, "I can't hear ya! And please don't talk."With that, he grabbed her hand and both of them walked to the bar and he ordered whiskey for them, she didn't want to drink and she did what she could to say no but he was too stubborn to understand.He handed her the glass and asked, "Do you trust me?" and she didn't reply, pausing for a second, then with rolling eyes, she took the glass from him and took a large sip of the drink.She was lost in the club around those people, with the music so loud, her inner part

The soft sky above, sharp stones underfoot and the clouds caressed with reflected light. The lacy waves are a drumbeat that echoes her heart, the breeze blows the tension right out of her bones and all the while, the birds' arc above, masters of the salty updrafts.The waves come in as a deep aquamarine and turn golden as they churn the sand on the shore. Each hue is made more pretty by the brilliant white of the crests, drawing the eye away from the cloudless sky.The cool water laps at her feet, fizzing and bubbling like brine. Even though the sun is beating on her back, beaming in her eyes, she can't help but smile as the wind caresses her face. Waves ahead roar and roll down, crashing onto the shore with a soft hiss; peeling away at the deep bronze sand beneath her feet.Without hesitation, she plunges into the blue-green water. A chill surges through her, but a small wave washes it away.She walks further and further, thinking of her life as a wave
