“You are sure these were the names of the Walter brothers?“ I asked her again, just to be sure I heard correctly. “Young lady, I am pretty sure those were the names I just called out for you. I'm only getting old and not losing my memory, okay?“ I bowed my head even though she couldn't see me and mumbled an apology. "I'm sorry," I said."It's okay. I guess that answers your two questions then. I am going to bed," she said."Wait for a minute!" I shouted before she could end the call.“Yes, any other question?“ She asked, impatiently. I knew I had encroached more into her time but I just needed to get one last piece of information before she dropped the call. “Sorry, I'm taking more of your sleep time,“ I apologized yet again. It was something I had been doing often since I called her. Well, not like I am complaining. After all, I needed her help if I wanted to know the truth about what happened to Drew and his brothers. And there was no way that I would be able to get it if I did
“Seriously, we've all been moving around in circles. What's our next course of action?“ Calvin asked, his voice higher and stronger than I'd ever heard before. There was no response from Mason and Drew. Their heads were both bent down and they were deep in contemplation. Honestly, I don't see anything worth thinking about. The best thing would be to investigate with whatever information we have."Okay guys," I said, drawing their attention toward me. “That's enough thinking. You guys are behaving like a pregnant woman who is in labour and it's killing my vibes. So, I need you guys to snap out of your weird thoughts and focus on the task at hand," I said, breathing heavily after my speech. I never thought I would be the one giving this speech because let's be honest, I'm not that kind of person. I know that they know that and the whole world knows it. "What are we focusing on?“ Mason asked. "Did you guys not hear any of what Maria said?“ I asked them, surprised at the question from
I woke up the next morning with a new kind of energy. The energy to investigate. To find out more about the hidden secrets revolving around the three brothers who had taken up refuge in my apartment. Last night, we had concluded on sticking to the process I had penned down. It would help in easing the workload and prevent us from getting confused. Although Drew and Mason were sceptical about me finding any useful information concerning the restaurant incident, Calvin had been a bit open-minded to the suggestion. He had also offered to help me in my search, which I gladly accepted. Right now, I could use all the help I needed in ensuring that we get to the bottom of their story. I was very curious about what their story would be about. That reminds me, I need to work on the first step this morning. I don't see any point in delaying it till god knows when. I should begin as quickly as possible. The earlier I start my research on their story, the faster I would satisfy my curiosity.
I'm not a big fan of settling down and taking hours to search for the perfect combination of an outfit. As far as the colours rhyme, it's decent and there's no hole or gap in it, then I'm good to go. i don't give a fuck actually about what others think. Maybe that was one of the reasons why my ex-fiancee broke up with me. Who knows? Without wasting any more time I dropped my towel wrapped around my body and picked out whatever that I saw was a good combination in my wardrobe. I believe you all might have a faint idea of what I might have chosen. No, it isn't a T-shirt and jeans. I do know that I can't wear that to work. Leslie would just murder me three times with her eyes and bury me somewhere that my body can never be found. I picked out a dark red pencil skirt and a white camisole. Yes, I know the outfit isn't complete yet which is why I will be wearing dark red blazers over it and finalizing the outfit with my six-inch stiletto heels. I bent down to put on my panties, then I h
"I'm sorry for what happened earlier,x Drew apologized immediately after I entered the kitchen. I pretended not to hear him as I opened the refrigerator to get my skimmed milk. I saw there was already coffee in the coffee maker and I poured myself some. “Amanda, I know you can hear me. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to walk in on you in a compromising position," he said. Was he trying to apologize or make me embarrassed? I thought. Anyway, I decided not to answer him and continued with making my coffee which involved me adding lots of milk and two cubes of sugar. Don't scrunch your nose at my taste. I have a sweet tooth and this is how I like to take my coffee even if it's not something you can call coffee anymore. "Hey, Amanda," Drew whispered from behind me and I tensed up. I hadn't even noticed he had moved closer to me and was standing directly behind me. I could feel his breath on my neck and the thoughts I had tried to suppress came rushing in again "I know you're mad at me righ
I sat down on the chair in my office, glaring daggers at the creature seated before me. The creature in question was Calvin who was ignorant of the thoughts going through my head at the moment. “Were you spying on us?“ I asked him He snorted. “How could you call that spying? You guys weren't being subtle about the fact that there was a dispute between the both of you," he said, his eyes scanning around my office. “You weren't even there,“ I said, surprised by the fact that he knew there was an issue between me and Drew. "I dont have to be there to know what's happening. I have my source and they are always ready to oblige if I asked," he said, proud of himself.I faked a laugh. “Mason informed you so don't bother bragging about something that you can't achieve,“ I retorted He faked a gasp. “How could you be so heartless?“ He asked. I looked at him confused. "Did I say something wrong?“ I asked him, quirking an eyebrow at him “Of course you did," he answered back.“And what exact
Time ran faster than I expected and it was time to call it a day at work. Calvin had left me to my thoughts and investigation as he also decided to go out and sort for information. I was glad that he had left because it seemed to me that I was interacting more with ghosts than living things which wasn't supposed to be so. I need to interact with living humans and not only ghosts which was why I had invited a tag along with me towards my adventure for the evening."Urgh… I feel so exhausted with all this ghost stuff," I complained.“You get what you ordered, so don't complain," Cassie said from beside me, sipping her drink.I stick my tongue at her. "I am not complaining,” I said. She rolled her eyes at me “Whatever. Don't just get drunk on me,“ she warned “Yes, ma'am,'' I replied with a fake salute. By the time I and Cassie decided to leave the bar, Cassie had been drunk out of her wits. I on the other hand was tipsy and almost at the stage of getting drunk. Hell, I had even forgot
Drew paced around the living room, worried about Amanda that hadn't come back. His two brothers looked at him amused. “What's funny?“ He snapped at them.“‘You,“ they replied in unison, a wide grin on their faces. "Idiots," Drew muttered under his breath. “Last I checked I wasn't a comedian," he retorted."You don't have to be a comedian to be funny," Mason replied.Calvin nodded his head in agreement. “That is true. Take Panda as an example. She isn't a comedian but she is funny," he said. Drew glared at his younger brother. “How many times has she warned you not to call her Panda?“ He asked. Calvin shrugged his shoulders. “She isn't here so I can call her that without fear of having my head ripped off. Not like it can be ripped off since I am a ghost already," he said to his brother. Drew shook his head resigned to the fact that there was no point in arguing with Calvin. He was bothered about a certain woman that hadn't come back home. Amanda. What was keeping her long? Drew
