The warm shower felt soothing and nice for a moment she let her emotions and feeling be carried away with the warm trickling water, she had gone ahead to take a shower before leaving the guy she had just met the other night. Her dress was not in a good shape to be re-worn she had to wait for the new ordered clothes for her that were to arrive in a few minutes, for a minute it made her wonder who was this man she was with.
Her mind drifted away from the thoughts of what could have happened but for some reason, she felt something had happened between them, she had tried calling Linda that morning but all her calls were going to voice notes.
A knock was heard at the door several times and she thought her clothes were here finally so she hurried to get done, Justin was on his computer doing some work when he heard the knock.
He got from the bed and walked towards the door, whoever was knocking it sounded angry and he couldn’t understand how someone delivering goods could be angry unless that was not the delivery guy, he hoped not in his heart he knew the only other person who would come knocking angrily would be Sandra.
“Why have you not been picking up my calls?” she asked as soon as the door was opened.
“Sorry babe I was busy, I didn’t know you are coming,” he said standing at the door trying to stop her from getting in the house.
“you are acting strange is something going on here?” she asked trying to look around the house. That was the time the delivery guy was arriving with the packed clothes. Sandra turned to look at him and back at Justin who was in hot soup at that moment.
“and this is?” she asked taking them. “and let me pass,” she said hitting him as she walked over to the living room.
“those are mine sandy can have them,” he said to her but she was already unboxing it.
“so this dress and underpants are for you?” she asked him very angry.
“I wanted to surprise you with that,” he said fumbling he wasn’t even thinking straight that Stacey was still in the house. She also heard the commotion and out of the shower she could hear Sandra nag how that dress was not her size it was bigger, she knew that must be his girlfriend she got from the shower first and looked around for any clothing she could find.
She went for the sweatpants they were closer to and a big grey shirt that was hanging on the first line.
“shit I should have left when I woke up! Why in the world did I think such a cute guy was single!” she cursed at herself putting on the clothes and finding any shoes that she could fit in, there was no way she was going to walk in heels wearing sweatpants and a big shirt that would be very humiliating.
She wore one of the sneakers that were there and took her purse ready to leave like she was never there. She didn’t want drama even though she was in the middle of it already, she went over to the window but she realised just how high the apartment was as she didn’t even know what part of the town she was in.
“who is she?” Sandra asked Justin after she began moving around the house looking for what was making Justin act so weird. Stacey stood frozen for a moment by the window dressed in Justin's clothes.
I know this looks bad but I should be on my way, so if you don’t mind I will be on my way” she said walking past them but Sandra pulled her back angrily.
“Listen to me you hoe, don’t think you will mess with my boyfriend and let you leave here like its nothing, now listen very carefully,” she said to her as a spark of red came through her eyes and Stacey got distracted wondering if she was again hallucinating before she could say another word Justin interrupted her moving her away from Stacey he knew what she was going to do and he did not want that to happen.
“sandy let's talk about this let her go,” he said to her standing in front of Stacey.
“no we get to talk, she is the side chick you have been cheating on me with huh?” Sandra said very angrily.
“sandy calm!” he said to her as she tried pushing him away and trying to reach Stacey who was now losing her patience.
“no you let me deal with this piece of shit!!” she said angrily at him.
“okay look here lady I won't stand here and let you keep on insulting me!! I don’t give a damn about you or this who I even don’t know!!!”Stacey said angrily not giving a care.
“See how she is talking to me! now that's it!! am going to make you suffer until you regret ever setting your eyes on my man and I will make sure you feel every pain that comes with it” she said angrily at her but Stacey didn’t even care what threats she was giving her.
“Well, I don’t give a shit about your man!! Stacey said and pushed both of them aside and walked out of that place angrily while Sandra was still yelling her name, Justin stood there frustrated and at his bed stressed.
"Are you going to sit there and act like you also don’t care?”Sandra said angrily at him.
“look I am so tired okay," he said to her which made her storm out angrily at his house, as soon as she left his brother Andrew walked in.
"I have been staying out there for a long time what is going on? ”he asked him.
“I am tired of being with a brother can this all just end ! ”he said very frustratedly.
“you know why we are doing this, don’t forget our caus,” he said to him getting him back to his senses.
"couldn't we use another way because honestly, I don't know how long I can take this,” he said at him but that seemed to have upset him he lifted him from his bed with his arms and looked at him angrily.
“you better get back in line and apologise to her, and stop sleeping around with human girls that aren't what we do I am sure you don’t mother hearing about this, do you Justin? ”he asked him angrily.
“no I will do what is required I will apologise to her,” he said to him feeling powerless.
Watching the stars has always been therapeutic to Stacey. Like a peaceful meditation, a moment to connect with the realm of nature above her, and flow with the thoughts. Even in whatever pain, sorrow happiness or calmness she was in. She let the thoughts flow and overwhelm her, like the cause of the stars above.And this day as she was stargazing, a moment triggered her. Her best friend Linda once asked her if she ever wanted to have kids and apart from her mother who always had something to say about that, her best friend was the one person that asked that and it felt so heavy to answer.All her life she had avoided such thoughts she never was the kind of woman who fancied having a child but why was she thinking so much about this, she would wonder why her mind had drifted to such thoughts.It was a week now and she hadn't seen or heard from Linda, ever since she learned that peter died in a tragic accident that n
Everything was in order for the burial of Peter, Stacey had chipped in the organizing for the burial since she had lost her job and she did not have much to do for the next few days ahead of her. She was stressed but was taking it all out on drugs. Even on this day, she was very high.“I think you have been working too much, Stacey,” Linda said trying to get her off some work and take a rest.“I need this, believe me,” she said carrying a vessel of flowers, everyone was still walking in but only a few people because it had not yet begun but everything was under the plan.“I know but got take a change of clothes we are about to begin” Linda insisted with her and she agreed to go and get ready for the burial.“Okay fine, I do feel tired anyway,” she said to her taking a deep breath of fresh air.“did you take the test?” she asked her looking around to make sure no one was listening to their conversation.“no, and please let us not talk about that today, makes me feel so guilty,” she said
The two girls sat on the bed with the pregnancy kit in the middle.“it is not so difficult just go ahead and take the test, you need to know” Linda pushed her to stop staring at the kit and just do the test. She got up from the bed very nervous and went to the bathroom with it.She took some time before she came out, she was contemplating whether to or not, when she was back they were to wait for the results in a few minutes. However, Linda was very stressed and was pacing up and down her room.“We have to leave now, something bad has happened,” she said very worriedly.“what? What about the test?” she asked her holding the test in her hand but Linda took a hold of it and placed it in her handbag.“we will get to see when we get there, it's urgent,” she said asking her to wear something warm and they both left in a hurry. It was mid-afternoon just after Stacey had gone for her interview early that morning. She had given a chance to the opportunity that had been offered to her by Justi
Linda burst into Stacey's house early that morning after she had texted her and she replied back that she was at her house. They were all worried after her scream and then she disappeared into the blues. The police had told them if they don’t hear from her the next day they were then to contact them.“you scared us, what happened ?” she asked her as soon as she got in the house, she was, however, getting busy with the new job. She had received a call early that morning and she had landed that well-paying job at YMDC Ltd. She had to wear clothes that prove she had a good taste in the job she was doing as a designer and all she could ask Linda is which of the two clothes she was holding looked nice, but Linda was not letting this go she needed to know what happened.“I don’t remember shit baby girl, and all these things you are telling me are making me wonder what the hell you are talking about,” she said trying to keep her good mood.“okay something definitely happened, and we haven’t
The next day Sarah was called by the police and she was informed that her son's body had been found they should come for it, Stacey had to go by bus and not Linda’s car as she was used to, she was still thinking deeply about the conversation she had with Linda about her being pregnant by this man she did not even know or even had his number.“I don’t think I should tell him, we don’t even remember what happened that night,” she said frustrated to her.“maybe you don’t but maybe he does “ Linda insisted that Justin was as much responsible as she was.“then what? Cause I have been thinking about this whole week, and I realized I don’t want to end up like my mother.” She said to her getting a little emotional.“so what do you mean?” Linda asked her taking the pipe away from her she had been trying to get her to think about this when she is sober but she kept on smoking throughout the conversation.“I won't keep it,” she said to her as a tear fell off her eye. Linda moved closer to comfort
“how is Sandra?” Andrew asked Justin he had come to his office early that morning and the two had some business they were working for on hours.“she is still healing, she survived,” he said to him and he seemed to be in deep thoughts.“We still need her, it’s a good thing we killed half of them, they won’t be bothering that boy's family. “ he said to him explaining to him that they were still watching that family and protecting them. He and that Unseelie had died upon an order from a fairy so powerful they were killed by the Unseelie who are still bound to the fairy magic.“what does this mean?” he asked him very interested.“mother says we may divide our attention because perhaps the queen is still alive and we are the only ones who can save her, that’s why we need you to still keep in touch,” he said to him and he felt bored at the thought.“I think they may be suspecting me, so I will have to play very low, especially now that she told me she doesn’t want to see me. She wants a brea
“wow sorry I forgot you were there,” Justin said after the awkward silence that was there before Stacey hurried to leave getting herself in order along the way.“Okay, I see why you want to get off Sandra so fast,” he said to him.“I just met her recently, nothing much,” he said trying to end that conversation about Stacey.“it seems you are forgetting what happened last time you were sleeping around with these girls! I will take care of this we have urgent matters to work on” he said to him before he looked at his watch and walked away leaving. Stacey felt embarrassed walking back to her office, getting herself in order. That went ugly real fast she thought. She did not understand how that even happened in the first place, she did not even say a word to Patrick when she passed at his office but neither could she wait to be done with the baby issue, now that she had the signature from Justin.She walked out of her office with her handbag ready to leave and get Linda to take her to th
Her mind was trying to make out the reason and a good explanation for all this, she was sitting on her balcony with her joint feeling so much pressured with everything that was going on, when she walked into her house from Linda’s house she found an eviction notice at her apartment door. All she could do now is smoke her stress away as she looked forward to the next day so she could go ahead to the doctor and have one of her problems solved, she had not seen Linda yet but she had no idea of how she was even going to hide all this from her, she was going to have to deal with all this by herself.Time went by so fast she did not realise when she fell asleep on her balcony and was woken up by the extreme cold that was outside. she drag herself to her bed and was woken up by her alarm in a few hours. Walking past Patrick she remembered what she had seen the other day in his office and she did not even bother to greet him, this was so crazy to her right now, she could not digest everythi
