Chapter 9: The secrets we must keep away from our loved ones.
"Great news Simon!" Simone said, eyes wide open. They were sitting on the soft grass in the beautiful orchard that surrounded the driveway of the mansion.
"What news? Come on, tell me!" Simon said, sounding desperate for it.
"Dad has decided that we all will go to California for the summer," Simone said.
"Woah!" Simon said, enthusiastically. "That would be awesome!"
"Yea of course it'll be," she replied. They both fell silent for a while.
Simon forced his eidetic memory to remember if he had been to California but there was no record of it. He was familiar with California. It was one of the coolest resort centres in the world filled with beautiful beaches and it was the perfect place for a summer vacation. A slight breeze blew, the grass swayed gracefully beneath the spectrum of the descending sun. Looking at the horizon, Simon saw the blazing clouds. His

Kane had driven past the B and B restaurant and continued on his way down to the construction site. He was slowly starting to resent the restaurant. Over the past few hours he had struggled with himself not to go and check in on Stephanie. She was a tough nut to crack. One minute he thought he had her, and the next she was turning down his marriage proposal.He breathed the air of the city deep into his lungs and there was a warm feeling accompanied with it. He noticed the changes in the leaves of the trees and grasses on the lawns. They had started to dry up, making them turn shades of brown or yellow. He spotted a woman watering her flowers in her garden near her front porch. It indeed felt like summer was approaching. Part of the sky looked remarkably orange in color as the sun went down.As he rounded up a corner entering Pearls Street, he saw the construction site come into sight. He just wanted to have a view of it, he told

Kane and Stephanie were still sitting on the window pavement. His phone was buzzing.He answered, "Hello, who's on the line?""Hello Kane, it's me Simone," she said. Kane looked at Stephanie but she was smiling softly at him. She was sitting close enough to hear both of their conversations."Simone Solomon?" Kane asked, looking astonished."Yes. I know you're wondering how I got your number," Simone said, pausing for his response."Well, it's my business line, I mean you could literally just get it off my company's website. But hey I never told you what job I worked, so yeah I'm wondering.""I'm not contacting you for business Mr Kane. Far from it," Simone said, pausing for three seconds. "Where are you now? I'm at the B and B. Could you make it there? I really want to see you please.""Well I'm really busy," Kane said. Stephanie ga

The Joker Grand hotel was legally owned by the Solomon's. Tonight its beautiful event hall was used as the venue for the book launch of Try Again. Try Again was written by New York bestselling author Erik Wilson. He had written three successful books on reincarnation stories and this was the fourth. It never got boring.Journalists, reporters, sponsors, and other famous writers gathered here. Stephanie and Tiffany were dressed in long embroidered gowns that made them look like princesses. They strided through the long red carpeted floor moving towards Peter Brooklyn and his friend. They both had their backs against the ladies and were talking and laughing at the same time. Peter had gotten them their invites.As they closed in on Peter, they saw who he had been talking animatedly with from a distance. It was none other than Erik Wilson the author. Erik was an average human with a clean shaven head and light brown eyes. He wore a transp

Erik had gone ahead and talked briefly about the characters and plots contained in his book. Then he got up and said, "I have a demonstration to make and I'd like to invite my friend Peter Brooklyn who's an astrologist and mystics to join me up on stage." "What's this about?" Tiffany asked Peter who was already getting up. "I don't know what Erik wants from me," Peter said corkily. "But it's gotta be very amazing going up on stage with the star of the night." Simone cleared her throat which made Stephanie and Tiffany turn their attention to her. Simone then went on to say, "Hello ladies this must feel awkward but believe me it's nothing. We picked this seat because we know you guys and it'll probably be the last time we will be seeing each other in a while. Tiffany you can stop scowling now." "I just don't get you Simone," Tiffany said. "Why are you stalking someone else's fiance?"

The book launch had come to an end with the demonstration. Erik and Peter were still up on stage. They could be seen attending to a line of people. Stephanie was walking back to the table with Simon."Hey that was really weird," Simon said."Yeah I am not sure how I feel after that," Stephanie said, pausing in her tracks. "I mean I was so sure I'd fail at least once!""You bet!" Simon said, "I thought it was a bluff but now I'm starting to feel otherwise."Stephanie continued walking and she said, "Anyways, I think it's a trick. I watch a lot of magic shows. We should inspect those pearls properly. Maybe there's a way it changes its colors."They arrived at their table. Simone and Tiffany looked like Tom and Jerry forced to be in the same space. Something in Simon's memory made him think Tiffany would have been the kind of girl he should like. However, his emoti

Stephanie had a feeling of a growing confusion. On one hand, she was tired of leading Kane on, but on the other, she also knew she didn't know much about Simon to pick him over Kane. She just felt drawn to him from the day she first saw him at the B's. Kane had been chill after she had slapped him the other day, which was totally impulsive. She hadn't meant to do that, but why would he lash out like that? There was something she hated about it when men acted without thinking or displaying signs of violence.The day had arrived when she was going to travel to California. Kane would be coming to her apartment any minute now to take her to the airport. Tiffany had gone to Hawaii with Peter. She appreciated the time alone and she reflected on her feelings. On one hand she really liked Kane but on the other she felt she was keeping him as an option. She was scared to lose him even though she didn't want him. It made her feel terrible.
Pearls of love Chapter 16: Showing some care
Kane felt a wave of nuesa hit him and he threw up in the kitchen sink. He was feeling a little sickly right after the trip to California. He had mentioned that to Stephanie but he didn't expect it to get so serious. Stephanie stood behind his large frame as he flushed the vomit with water from the tap. He rinsed his mouth and washed his face. Stephanie rubbed his back gently.He was shivering when she assisted him down to the couch. She went to fetch a blanket from his room. He had given her the direction. She inspected the boyish room. It had posters of different buildings. There were several textbooks on the table and a framed picture faced down. She lifted the frame and saw the two brothers, Kane and Shane. Kane stood on Shane's left, he had his arm placed over Shane's shoulder and his head was tilted towards Shane.St
Pearls of love Chapter 17: 30Days of Summer Day1
Can life get any more awkward? Kane would've said had he not still been in bed. He felt himself on his bed, but what had happened to bring him here the previous night? The previous night! Stephanie had gently rocked him to sleep. He remembered her waking him up to come with her into the bedroom. She must've showered after that because he heard the sound of water splashing in his sleep. Then he smelt the sweet smelling fragrance of her perfume.Kane felt his hand curl over another human body. It was soft and feminine. He felt his hip against hers. Her lovely body curved about his. He felt a rush of excitement as the realization hit him. He hadn't slept in bed alone last night. She rolled over to face him. He let his hands remain curled over her body. Stephanie smiled at him. It was such a beautiful way to say good morning. She used her thumb to graze his bottom lips."Good morning," she said to him. Her voice was filled with affec
