Hearken Chapter 21: Symptoms Of Love
I was behind the wheels when I reduced the speed and allowed Somidah to zoom past me. She was so excited about winning the car race that, she stopped in front of my apartment and came down to welcome me. “I won!” she screeched, raising both hands in the air in excitement. “Yeah, yeah! How did you do that?” I pointed, faking a surprise. “Are you taking driving classes again?” “No, it’s just an improvement.” She joked, and I blushed at her words. “Well, I’m impressed. Let’s go in.” I told her as we drove into my compound, stopping the cars in front of my house instead of the parking lot. Excited, we got in and I walked towards one of the inbuilt fridge, getting a bottle of fruit juice for her. I closed the fridge and a thought of Adam closing it behind me came up. Shaking off the pestering thoughts from my mind, I closed my eyes to a sudden headache that hit me hard. “Evelyn!” Somidah called, throwing her handbag on the middle table. Her smile dropped while watching me from the di
Hearken Chapter 1 : The Night Of My 20th Birthday
Wasn't Twenty supposed to be a magical birthday and a milestone into adulthood, accompanied by great privileges and legal implications? Wasn't Twenty the age to vote, buy a house, wed your high school sweetheart, go to jail, get sued, and gamble away your tuition in Vegas? Well, mine wasn't.At eight o'clock in the evening of my 20th birthday, I was alone at home grumbling and frowning, taking weird selfies, scrolling through the boring messages on my phone and pitying myself for my misfortune. I thought it was going to be a special day filled with presents, prayers, fun, and well wishes, but all I received was a "Happy Birthday" from Daniel Beckett, my CEO husband and some of my friends.Suddenly, the electricity cut off. My sad eyes widened in the darkness and my heart raced for a moment. Dan isn't yet back from the office. He's always busy with work, but I love him endlessly. I know how caring he is, at least, he tried. Right now, I can't wait for him to come back. There was comple
Hearken Chapter 2: I Hates Birthday Surprises
Gazing through the window. Tony Flynn, a small man in a bulldogish face, caught a lady stopped her car in front of the enormous gate. The lady had an orange-brown, knee-length silky skirt on and a cream-coloured, well tailored, buttoned-down satin shirt. Her outfit was not too baggy, not too tight. "She's here! She's here!" He clamored over the phone. "I'm sure she will be upstairs in a minute. I'll join you right away." Tony ended the call with excitement. The lady wined the tinted glass of her shiny black Lamborghini and climbed down. Everything looked like they made it to fit me. The CEO of Beckett Holdings. Shocked at the bones, I gasped at what stood before me. The gates to the company were wide open. "Wait, what's happening?" I wondered and staggered closely on my heels. Stepping into the building, I realized the electronics were all on and the place was literally a graveyard. Only the sound of my heels echoed in the silence as I approached my office. With a ding from the ele
Hearken Chapter 3: I'm My Daughter's Best Friend
Perambulating on what they had done. No one could enter to meet me. All the workers stood outside under the scorching sun, in their expensive suits and jackets. "Come on guys, what is the meaning of this?" An elderly man in his late fifties busted out. "To think that I was unemployed more than half of my life until the Beckett housing company came to my rescue. How do I go back home to tell my wife and my two college kids that I got sacked?""This is terrible!" Clare, another worker, exclaimed. "It looks like our enthusiasm has gotten us into trouble.""This is still a puzzle to me." Another guy hissed. "And I wasn't to support this idea from the start. You all got me into trouble." Neither did I want any of this! Another lady kissed at Oaklyn. You told us it would be a cool idea. It's a disaster! "Calm down, guys." Oaklyn, who had kept mute since she joined them, cut in. "It's the first time we're planning a surprise for her. Birthday is a celebration of joy. Why would she fire us
Hearken Chapter 4: Love Or Obsession?
Hazel, along with her friends, went to a white-coated bungalow. She knocked on the door.“You are in your boyfriend’s house; you don’t have to knock on the door.” Alice spat and pushed her away from the door. Kicking it open at once. The guys rushed to them, welcoming them in.Alice gave her boyfriend, Adam. A 6ft, olive-toned skin guy a welcome hug. Same as Hazel and Felix. Felix has blond curly hair, forest green eyes and he’s 6 ft 4. After the hug, he swept her off her feet and Hazel clung to him like a lifebuoy.“Drop me down, please!” She cried like a child.Noah and Jane are very close friends, too. The boys had simple t-shirts, singles, and shorts on. Blue timidly sat on the couch. Roman, who had an eye for her, sat right next to her. They were all tattooed except for him. Roman handed her a red plastic cup, and she held unto it.“What can I offer you?” Adam asked Alice, bushing a finger through his thick, black hair behind his ear. He had a glint of excitement in his honey-bro
Hearken Chapter 5: Settling Our Differences
“So what if she’s your boyfriend’s niece?” Hazel continued the talk immediately after they got to the hostel. “You would have been upset too if it were you. She didn’t give me any family vibes, I swear. She gave me side check vibes. What was I supposed to do?” Alice explained to her friends. And that really got me upset. “Alice!” Blue called. They sat at the dining table. “Yes.” she replied, facing her direction. “I’ll come back to you.”she raised a dark gaze at Jane. “Jane, Don’t you ever!” she pointed. “In your mother-fucking, stupid, miserable life, try that rubbish that you did this afternoon with me again.”Jane’s Grey eyes wandered confusedly. The sides of her slim mouth pulled down in innocence. “What’s your problem? Must you always talk?! Just because we’ve been friends for over six years doesn’t mean you should talk about me to people I don’t even know at all! You said I don’t have a boyfriend doesn’t mean nobody admires me because you’ve never seen me with a man! Do you
Hearken Chapter 6: How Dating Feels Like
“Yeah, I haven’t had fresh pasta with marinara sauce in a long while.” He agreed.About to take a cut of the Chinese sponge cake in front of me, Luke held back my hand. Bringing out his mobile phone.“Before you eat, because I know you’re hungry. I should do a video recording of this.” He blushed, zooming his mobile camera on my food. “I’d like to update my status, post on tictok, Tumblr and, of course, Genevieve, my darling wife. She’ll prepare this for me. My woman can cook.” Luke praised.It puzzled me for a moment.“Okay, eat. You can eat now.” He ordered. It took me a while, pondering on his words.“Pardon me.” I smiled. “You just said something about your wife. Are you married? I thought you’re single.”“Come one, Evelyn. Can’t you see I drive a space bus?”“Space bus? What does that mean?” I furrowed at him.“That’s my car. I use it to move my family around, not animals. I have three children, almost four. My heavily pregnant wife, Vive, Penelope, Charles and Elizabeth. Yes, Be

Blue held a bowl of crispy potatoe-chips while Jane and Alice were on their phones, chatting.“I’m fine, I’m just here lounging and relaxing with my friends. What about you?” Hazel asked over the phone.“Yes, Alice is here as well.” She replied.“Is that my boyfriend?” Alice interjected, giggling towards her.“Really? Okay, we’ll be there!” Hazel ended the call with a blush and faced her friends. “Guess what?”“What is it?” Jane pulled closer, interested.“The guys are having a house party.”“House party? Others cheered.“And guess what?” Hazel added. “They’re bringing strippers.”“What?!” Alice, Blue and Jane couldn’t believe that. It was a weekend house party the guys held for themselves instead of going clubbing.With the mp3 speakers booming hip hop ‘Stay with me’ by Rihanna. The guys were dancing along with the strippers, whom were on nothing but net bras and g-string pants. Jane and Blue were having fun as well. Hazel was sipping on a bottle. She was having fun with Noah, at a c
