I must have slept throughout the journey since Charytin woke me up.
"What time is it?" I asked and after checking her wristwatch she replied, "2:00 pm,"
As soon as I alighted the van, I stretched myself then looked at the surroundings. The place was okay and it looked deserted to me. Tall trees surrounded the house, which looked old.
Max approached. "Ladies, feel free to go in. The boys and I will help get some stuff in the house."
He turned to me, "You good?"
I nodded before he walked away.
One of the girls, Paula complained. "This house looks freakish old. Are you sure no wild animals are living inside?"
I nudged Elena, who hated her guts and she was bummed. "If you don't like it then fee
⚜ What better feeling? ⚜ After the scrumptious meal, people gathered to play cards. I was not much interested and I went outside for fresh air. Seconds later, footsteps approached and I spun to see Derek in his favourite hoodie. "Ahem! Can I join you?" he asked. "Sure." "You look so beautiful, you know." okay. This was serious! And I can't believe I just blushed. "I...I have never been one to beat around the bush but...I-....I " It seems he was struggling with what he wanted to say however, a soldier came running and interrupted what he meant to convey. "You got a call from HQ," "Be right there, Marty," he diverted his attention back to me. "Let'
⚜⚜ Feisty Lady and the sexy agent. ⚜⚜ After the discussion with Elena, I went to the kitchen where I found Charytin and Paula preparing lunch. "Smells so good in here," I said. "Well get ready to have the taste of your life because cooking is my speciality" Paula bragged. I rolled my eyes as I turned to leave when Charytin pat my shoulder. "You good?" She asked in a concerned tone. "Yes. Have you seen Derek?" My question took her by surprise. "I saw him earlier in his room where he's probably locked himself in like he does when he is busy. Can you do me favor?" I agreed and she went back to the kitchen and came holding a glass of juice. "Take this to him and thank me later" 'What was that about?' I was hesitant to knock
I did not attend breakfast the next morning nor go for lunch either. My eyes were swollen from crying the previous night and my hair looked like a birds nest. We all depended on Charytin's hair products but since we were many females it wasn't enough. I dragged my lazy self to the washroom and after doing my business went back to bed. My hair was still wet if it were not for the towel on my head, the whole bed will be soaked wet. The house was quieter than usual and I wondered what everyone was doing.In the evening my grumbling stomach betrayed me and I sashayed to find food. I walked into a full dining table with small talk here and there and some laughter. My eyes looked for him, my favourite person and I didn't see him.Gary pulled a seat for, "Chloey, for you""Thanks, Gary," I said plainly.Almost immediately Paula began and I knew nothing good came from her mouth
TMax's POVI was excited when my best friend and superior told me that he finally made a move on Chloey. The guy had been hopeless in love since the first day he saw her and couldn't stop saying it. The two had chemistry which they both ignored well."What next?" He seemed to be lost in thoughts."About?""Don't tell me you are daydreaming about her, already? Derek smiled."I was but don't ask me what. Let's get to work now. I have to finish up quickly so I can spend some time with my lady before she leaves tomorrow"I smiled at that thought. "Me too. I don't feel like letting her go. Especially not with Leo""You know Chloe told me the same thing. Weird...uh? What if, you escort them and once they have departed safely, you can come back" Derek suggested and I couldn't agree more."That'
TChloe's POVI opened up my eyes to see Derek sitting by the bedside typing on a laptop. I tried to get up but he was quick to stop me. I don't remember how I got to the hospital."You finally awake. You scared me, love" Derek stood next to me, battling whether to touch me or not."Derek? Come sit next to me" I slowly scooted as he sat on the empty spot next to him."The earrings, look good on you" He began and I smiled. I was glad I still had them.As if I remembered, "They....they shot me""Don't worry. You made it! The doctor managed to remove the bullet and stopped the bleeding" he brought my head to lean on his chest."And Max?""He is fine. He got discharged two days ago. The bullet only grazed him"A nurse walked in and greeted us. "I have to inject her, pleas
Chloe's POVI narrated to Charytin about the morning escapade. "He'll come around. I think he feels guilty for leading you on""He shouldn't even be has done nothing wrong since I also want him to. It's just the Thomas thing just caved in and I suddenly felt as if he Thomas was touching me" I explained sadly.She embraced me, "Poor thing! You are still traumatized but with time you will forget. You can tell him what's going on, am sure he will understand""You should have seen him. He didn't even look at me, he was angry. Char, I don't wanna lose him and I am afraid I just did"I couldn't imagine my life without him, especially that I had found him again. Before I used to shut myself into studying but coming to Belize and meeting him gave me a different perspective of life that there's more to life than books and I intended to give us a chance an
Y ⚜ Deadly encounter. ⚜ We had been driving all night and I helped him by taking the wheel because he was injured. He still insisted that it was only grazed but I didn't buy it. I tore a piece of my dress to wrap over the wound."You shouldn't have babe," he said and I kept my eyes focused on the road. It was almost morning and I wanted to pull over and rest but he insisted we should keep going as he took back the wheel. His phone rang and I heard brought it to his ear "Yeah man! Be there in 30" he spoke then hang up as he pulled over to a pharmacy."I'll come with you," I said as soon as he got down."I won't take long"I got off the car. "I am coming with you and that's final"He didn't argue but walked to the pharmacy. We bought a lot of medical supplies. While he was pa
G Two weeks later, I was preparing something nice for my boyfriend's birthday. I was not sure how he would react since he never celebrated his birthday but his friends said it was worth a try. We had spent time together almost every day except for the two previous days. It was almost like he was avoiding me. Charity told me that he does that when it is near his birthday and a week after, he is back to normalcy.We were in the kitchen, "Do you think he will like this?" I asked Charity"Of course. If he shows up!"I was worried. What if he doesn't?I helped her arrange the simple dinner on the gazebo as Marty and Gary sat drinking beer. Then I went to freshen up, putting on a dress he got me and the diamond earrings. Elena offered to do my makeup up and I thought it was worth a try.Gazebo above!!
