44 She looked at Drille who was waiting dejectedly at the spot he was when she left there, perhaps for an explanation. She looked at the expectant Jackson who she now owed a favor and sighed. "Okay,but I have to talk to that guy over there before that" Allison said and walked away to meet Drille. "What was that? Why did you agree to go out with me if you had a boyfriend or boyfriends?" Drille said, feeling agitated. "Drille, it's not how it seems. I broke up with that guy but he still didn't accept that I don't like him anymore. So I just kissed that guy to make him believe" Allison explained,after which she asked herself inwardly why she had to explain things to this dude she just met. "But that's a stranger... I was right in front of you" Drille said looking Allison's well carved lips that just kissed another guy. "Huh? I just met you and he's a friend...that guy" Allison said, pursing her lips. "So, he's not your boyfriend?" Drille asked "No, he's not. You can cancel the mo
Chapter Forty Five- A Give And Take Allison was woken up by the sound birds coming from outside the bedroom window. Her eyes joined the sunlight as it washed over face. She shut her eyes closely as she turned her face to Jackson's side. "The sun is bothering you,huh?" Jackson smiled as he raised his hand above her face to block the sunlight. "Uh-huh,but thanks to you, it's not anymore" She said with her eyes still closed. "But my hands hurt, permit me to put my hand down " He said and Allison laughed. "Huh.... I'm sorry for yesterday..... If I forced you to do what..... "It's okay, we did it together. Consciously. So, you don't have to apologize to me, okay?" Jackson said cutting Allison off. "You're so pretty" Jackson suddenly said after a moment of silence between them as he ran his hands through her rough hair. "I'll take a bath. Where's the bathroom?" Allison asked shyly. "Just over there" Jackson replied pointing to the bathroom. She got up from the bed, coveri
Chapter Forty Six - Jill; Mr Driver and Bodyguard Kylie stretched her arms and legs and dragged herself slowly out of bed. "That was such a long night" Kylie said as she entered into the bathroom. As she turned on the shower,she saw a paper pasted to the wall. "Did Scott come into my room?" Kylie said to herself as she picked the paper with her wet hands. I took a sick day for you at work,stay at home and rest. You can go to the birthday party later."Yes! I was wondering how I would cope with work. Now I have all day to prepare" She said as she went into the bathtub to have a bubble bath. "I only heard of bubble baths. I never knew they were this good" Kylie shouted excitedly. She came out after a while and put on a mini floral gown, she dried her hair partly but water was still dripping from it as she went downstairs. She went to the kitchen to prepare herself something when she saw another paper,pasted to a bottle. "Drink this before eating. It'll help you,if you're feeling
Chapter Forty Seven - Classic Event "Mrs Anderson!" Jill called out in his loud voice scaring both girls. "Jill, you scared me...again" Kylie said turning around to face him. "Mr Bodyguard, what do you want now?" Allison said, eyeing him. "Mr Anderson asked me to take care of you" He said as he brought out a note. He began to read out. "You'll be going to the salon to get your hair done because obviously Mr Anderson doesn't like the state of your hair" He read the first part out and the second, looking at Kylie's hair. "Second, you'll be picking up a cloth to wear after which you'll be taken to the venue" Jill read out and closed his note. "I'm done reading. I'll bring the car here. Please be ready to go out by that time" Jill said and left. "I feel like his daughter" Kylie said as she watched him leave. "Why does he keep calling you Mrs Anderson?" Allison asked as she began packing her things."I told him to stop but he's still doing it. I don't know what to do with him. I'l
Chapter Forty Eight- 14 years ago A hand grabbed Kathie and push her away from Kylie. "Are you crazy? Why would you pull someone's hair" Scott said as he looked at the messed up Kathie. Jones;her father ran to her and picked her up. "I apologize for the commotion. Kathie is just nervous because of the speech she has to say. I'm sorry everyone. Please go back to whatever you were doing. The mess will be taken care of" Jones said, holding Kathie with both hands. "Are you okay?" Scott asked as he picked up Kylie's bag and gave it to her. "I'm not. That rude bitch ruined my hair" Kylie snapped. "I think it's more than your hair. She must have long nails,your nose is scratched too" Scott said as he touched her nose. "Mr Anderson. I apologize for the mess my girls created. "I didn't create any mess and I'm absolutely not your girl" Kylie said angrily. "Mum! I'm... I'm sorry. Kylie started it. If only she didn't push you" Kathie sobbed. It was obvious she wasn't sorry for her actio
Chapter Forty Nine - It's Okay To Cry "Jill,you can go home. I'll bring her home" Scott said and hung up. He waited for her to console herself before going to meet them. "Hey, you girls okay?" Scott said as he moved closer to them. "Yeah... We are. I'll leave you guys to talk. I'm going to go now" Allison said and gave Kylie one last hug before leaving both of them. "I told Jill to leave. Let's go home together" Scott said as he held Kylie's hand and they got into the car. "About the...the fight. I'm not usually a trouble maker. That girl just gets on my nerves" Kylie said still angry at Kathie. "Doesn't your head hurt? She dragged your hair a little too much" Scott said with a slight chuckle. "You're trying to say my hair is ruined right?" Kylie said as she stroked her hair smoothly. Scott laughed and afterwards silence ruled in their midst. No one knew what the other was thinking. But one was thinking of the other and the other was thinking of the past events and her Dad
Chapter Fifty - Old Building Scott walked slowly and silently around the corridor,he tiptoed towards her room and made the wall his aid,so careful not to wake Kylie. He wanted to check on her in her room. He turned the door knob and it opened slowly accompanied with a creaking sound like that of an old house. "Are you asleep?" He asked silently peeping from the door which was still ajar. He got no reply and walked in closing the door behind him. He went to her and she was lying there sleeping peacefully. The evidence that she cried herself to sleep was on her wet face. "Her face will be all white when she wakes up" He said and smiled. He was somewhat happy that he could help her to let all her worries out. He was grateful for meeting her again after fourteen years. *FLASHBACK* TWELVE YEARS AGO "Who is this girl" The ten year old Scott asked as he picked up a little picture from the floor. "That's my daughter. She's eight years old. Isn't she pretty?" Martin said as he t
Chapter Fifty One - Stay Away From Kylie "Didn't you hear his questions old man!" Mike yelled at Clay as he lifted him up the chair and pinned him to the wall. "I said,who looked for this Kylie?" Benson asked again as he moved closer to Clay.Clay coughed and mustered up all the courage in him,which he knew would cost him something. "It's customer info. I can't just pass that out to you unless you're a cop. I can't tell you that" He said,his voice shaky . Benson laughed out loud and switched his facial expression quickly. Mike got the idea and he hit Clay hard on his big tummy. "Argh!" Clay screamed as he fell to the floor. Mike picked him up again and folded his fingers into a fist. Waiting for orders to hit Clay again. "Really? You don't give out info? I guess I'll have to tell Mike to call Ryu...just so you know he's my Chinese guy,you remember? The one I told you about? He's with your daughter as we speak" Benson said and sat down on the table halfway,one leg firm on the g
