Janice...I flip the pancake in the pan and look back at Jay who's been moody since that day.He has stopped trying to brainstorm new lyrics or listen to his old songs.He was just there, here in my apartment.After i was done, I place the pancake on three other and grab a glass of pure milk before going to sit beside him, shaking my hands out for Jay to help.He collect the drinks from my hand and i mutter a "thank you""The flour could only make four. Take two," I shove the plate before him.Like someone holding a grudge against me, he picked two.I watch the drama playing on the television with him when suddenly everything went blank."The subscription is out." he groans."Let's just enjoy our fo—" He stood up before I could complete my words, bouncing right out of the door and I scoff, my eyes dropping to the pancake in my hand.Why is he getting angry at me?I w
Angela. ..A message came in on my phone while I was taking a nap. I push the phone away but when I remembered getting a message from the unknown a day before and forgetting to reply, I sat up.I was right. It's from him."Ignoring me now, Mrs Winslow?" My eyes blur the other words out, its only focus on the way he addressed me - from miss Angela to Mrs Winslow?I took a deep breath in, "I forgot to reply you. Thanks for the information you gave previously, how can I pay you back?"He sent a laughing emoji which got my brows creasing. I wait for him to finish texting while grating my upper teeth on the lower one. I text back.He types for three minutes and while I was expecting a long message I got a short message that boldly encrypts the adage 'you're only a second and step away to death.'
Miguel...I drove to the venue Pierre sent after eating with Angela.The valet man collect the keys from me and i enter the double glass door."Mr Winslow," the manager has been waiting by the door for me."It's been so long." he trail behind me as I enter the lift."The chef has been working on new recipes recently, and I've got the cook prepa-""Save it, I've had food before I left home." I cut him off, showing him the back of my palm in dismissal.He followed behind me till we got to the room with no intention to retract in his steps."Do you want to see my guests instead? Here, enter." I kick the door open and pave way for him."Of..of course not, I won't even dare have such thoughts!" He bow before escaping.I scoff and step inside the room."You glow differently, Miguel." Racheal chuckles, raising the glass cup in her hand up to her lips for a sip."Exactly, what do you
Angela...I didn't have any words to say. Although, I had some formed in my head but I wasn't confident enough to voice them.Seated there on the ground by his side, I just looked on quietly as if he could read my mind and drink another glass of the drink.Moments later, Miguel came around and I stood up."Are you done?"I nod and pave way for him. I watch him pay his respect before rising up."What was with those tickets if they weren't from mom?" I ask. His eyes shut and mutter some words.What? Is..he praying right now?"Did..you just prayed? Have you been to a church before, do you even know the difference between bless you or curse you?" I threw a siege of questions at him when his eyes open."Your dad taught me how to pray," he turn, walking away.Eh? I follow him behind him, "you've met my dad before?" I ask.He press a button in his hand and the backseat door slide op
We branched at a store and after trying about ten dresses on, he finally picked the one which looks the ugliest to me as okay.He was rushing me back home but has no problem with sitting and taking his time to criticize every fabric on the dresses I'd tried out: Even if this is mother's plot, he seems to be pleased with it!"I'm sitting at the backseat, why will I sit at the front with you?" I scoff and jump inside the car."I can only wonder why you didn't bring Pierre to drive." I roll my eyes then carry the food.I take a drumstick out and sniff it. I haven't have any boiled chicken before."Only a rat sniff food before eating them."I pass him a glare before taking a small bite: I chew on it, chewed then chew again then my head moves in a satisfied nod."It's nice after all."I open the pepper and dip it inside before taking another bite.Hmm..I finish it in no time and look up at the man that
After downing the whole bottle, I find myself on the bed, all drowsy.After a short while, I gave into the sleep tugging at my eyes.Thanks to the story I heard, I've now got a new nightmare to add to my minutes of torment.My heart races and I toss about on the bed— it was raining... And, a woman is running...A black SUV car is following after her, the tyres taking its time in the mud.The car unexpectedly sped up and hit the woman: Her body roll into the gutter and a woman step out of the car, wearing a black hat.She perks down at the body...My eyes squints as I try to get a clear view of it and I gasp when I saw ME.My eyes snap opened and I try to get out of bed but a hand pins me down.I go to scream but the light came on and I sigh in relief; I'm out of the dream, i'm alive."What kind of dream was it?" He asks in a whisper.I try to reply him but my teeth gums toget
