THIRTY - NINE
It had been long the whole family had seen Starr, and it had been long Starr had seen the whole family. She was pumped. She had left work early enough, so she could go get dressed. She also packed clothes, so she could sleepover and leave from there to her workplace the next day. She had called Christopher and told him about her plans to have meal with her family. He was glad, and willingly let her go have family time, sending his greetings to Sorcha, since she was the only one he knew.
Starr took a deep breath, before she adjusted her kaftan gown, knocking gently on her mother’s door. She felt her heart beating faster at the thought of seeing her family together once more. Were they going to still be the same? Or had things changed so much? She couldn’t help thinking to herself. It didn’t take long before the door opened, her mother looking at her with widened eyes. It almost like she had seen a ghost. Her mother had a glow on. She looked better than when l

Nothing had really changed around the house. It still had its African touch to it. It still had their dad’s effect here and there, his pictures still up. Starr smiled, her heart warming up. It was like his presence was still present, watching over them. She felt safe. “So, how has life been for you Lace?”Solace nodded with a smile as they walked past the sitting room into the kitchen and dining room. It was nicely lit, the right white lights reflecting off the marble white tiles. “Fine,” Solace had replied.The kitchen and dining room hadn’t change, but yet Starr still felt fresh in it. It felt like it was the first time she had been entering it, yet feeling so home. “What about work?” she had asked lace as she sat down on one of the wooden chair surrounding a round wooden table, where all other chairs were too.“Pretty good,” Solace had replied her as he sat down too, their mother dropping everything

Starr felt way better the next day. She hadn’t left early in the morning. But rather took her time. She didn’t really have anything doing. She took her time getting ready for her day. Solace had upped and left early the next morning, leaving only herself, her mother and Sorcha in the house. “Good morning,” she had greeted her mother when she had gotten out of the bedroom in the morning.Her mother was munching at a banana as well as tapping at her phone, when she had walked in on her in the kitchen and dining room. “Morning dearie,” her mother had replied her, switching off her phone to pay her attention as she asked, “How was your night?”Sorcha nodded as she sat opposite her, pulling a banana away from its bunch as she peeled and took a bite. “Good,” she replied with a smile. “Haven’t felt so home and comfortable in a long time. Feels like I shouldn’t return to my house anymore.”

Starr got in and settled in, relaxing on her chair as she pulled out her iPad and began to go through her emails. She didn’t care.Emma was beginning to feel awkward outside, while Amber was enjoying it all. Before, she was on a thin line between indifferent and hate about Starr, but all she felt was love for her at that point in time. She was beginning to love her job, and the drama that was coming with it. “You can go inside now, Miss West,” Amber had said to her with a warm smile, trying hard to not roll her eyes. She didn’t know much about Emma West personally, but from how she had been acting, Amber knew she was going to be problematic.Still busy on her iPad, Starr didn’t look up when Emma walked in. it was until Emma cleared her throat that Starr looked at her, noticing her well for the first time. She was a tall blond, her waist as thin as the width of an A4 paper. Her legs so long, they made her trousers looked so nice on. She was

Christopher had been trying to put his imagination to works at his home office, when Valentine’s call came in. For some reasons, he sensed it was news about Emma. “What’s up?” he had asked Valentine the moment he picked the call, frowning a bit.“How are you?” Valentine had first asked him, making him nod in response.“I am well,” he had replied. “You? How are you?”“Good.”“SO, what’s up?”“She was spotted at Starr’s company today. Rumor has it that, she spent time within and Starr was around. So, there is a huge possibility that she might have spoken to Starr.”Chris moved uncomfortably in his seat. He didn’t like the sound of that at all. He had worked his ass off to get Starr to be his, he didn’t need some crazy ex who hurt him to come ruin a relationship he was building. “SO, you are not certain?”&l

Starr was close to sending Magnus and Valentine back to where they were comiing from. She didnt know why her house was suddenly getting crowded at night. “What are you doing here?” she had asked with a frown.“What? Do you now want me here?” Magnus had asked with a feigned surprise in his voice. He knew she didn’t know he was coming, but seeing her reaction only gives him more pleasure. Made him happier.Starr looked at him from up to down, not looking at Valentine, so she didn’t scare him…she guessed. “Obviously,” she had replied, still frowning.Magnus gasped, placing his right palm on his chest, pretending to be hurt by her words. “Oh, no you did not,” he said in shock, before he looked at Valentine and said, “They always turn when they get a boyfriend.”Starr was honestly not mad. She simply didn’t want her house to be crowded, and not in the night. She likes her spac

In less than fifteen minutes, the pizza arrived and soon after the Chinese. “Let’s get it!” Magnus shouted as he ran into the house. “Let’s do this guys!”Sorcha laughed as she dropped the wine Starr had given her. “Let us get this,” she repeated excitedly, causing Magnus and everyone to laugh or smile.“I do not get the excitement,” Starr had said as she sat on the ground with the rest of them. She smiled as she leaned a bit into Christopher, and stared at everyone.Magnus sat down as well as Sorcha. Magnus nodded as he said, “Truth and Dare first.” Starr abruptly sat up, shaking her head. “I do not think there would be a lot of dares available, so let us play never have I ever,” she had said.Christopher nodded. “Yes, she has a point.”“Of course she does to you,” Magnus said with a smirk, scoffing. “Of fucking course.&r

Almost everyone was knocked out by the next morning, while Starr was up and ready for work. She had been dressed in a black leather skirt, a sky blue chiffon shirt tucked into it. She had been down, trying to get a cup of coffee before she went to work. She had bumped into Valentine in her kitchen, he had been holding a mug of tea close to his lips. She had been doing fine ignoring him, but his presence and the deafening silence between them, made her break out. “Do I still scare you?” she had suddenly asked.Valentine was taking a sip from his tea, when her question had come through. He choked on his drink, as the drink came flying out in reply. He wasn’t expecting her to say a single word to him at all, so hearing her voice was really sudden to him. “Huh?” he had asked in reply.Starr turned from her coffee machine and stared at him a little clueless, keeping her face emotionless as she once again asked, “I said do I still scare yo

It was like Starr 2.0. “Yes, I would pass that message to him ma.”Starr didn’t reply her as she kept walking.“Channel TN sent an e-mail ma, they wanted to know if they could have an interview with you ma,” Amber had said to Starr, not waiting for her to reply as she added, “Should
