They wheezed with laughter as they walked slowly out of the Cinema. The sounds of their laughter was loud, real loud.
Cole stopped intermittently to clutch at his abdomen while in fits of laughter.
"My favorite part was when that bubble gum sensation girl went over to jamie's house to yell at Chris and they ended up burning the Christmas decorations and he messed up the night with Jamie and had to apologise." Korina said in one breath, "And when he got there, the old man of the house was like 'Have you come to destroy the rest of the house?" She said trying to imitate a manly voice which she successfully failed at causing she and Cole to erupt with more laughter.
"My favourite parts were when Chris and his brother fight and when Chris always tried to be rid of Samantha, the bubble gum sensation."
They continued chatting and laughing as they walked to
Korina woke up the next morning with a banging headache. She flinched in pain as she touched her forehead, it felt like her head was thumping. She expected it, she had cried herself to sleep the previous night.She threw her covers off, knelt beside the bed and said a quick prayer, when she was done, she got to the bathroom to get cleaned up.After washing her face and brushing, she took her phone out and dialled Mark."Hey baby cakes." He said picking up the phone.She cringed at the nickname, "Hey Mark.""What's up? You okay?" He asked, "Your voice is down, it sounds off.""I am not feeling too well." She groaned, even talking right now was stressing her head out."Oh, sorry love.""Calling in sick." She said."Don't worry, I got you." He replied, "Would hush up for you."Thanks a lot Mark." She th
"Daniella! Daniella!" Korina called rushing into the apartment, "Daniella, are you okay?"She scanned the living room frantically, no sign of her."Daniella! Dan!" She screamed again, "Where are you? Can you hear me?"She raced up the stairs and went straight to Daniella's bedroom not caring to knock before pushing the door open.Daniella was laying there in her undies, she was shivering, her skin so pale, it was almost ghost white."Daniella?" Korina rushed to the bedside kneeling, "Oh dear!" She shrieked on taking in her cousin's full appearance.Korina threw the bed covers over her, she went to the closet to find more duvets to lay on her.She rested a hand on her forehead and withdrew in shock at the feel of her temperature."Damn girl!" She said, "You are burning with fever." Daniella only shivered in response."I would go make
A week later, Daniella was back to her usual, cheerful, bubbling and annoying self again."If you wanted steak, you would have just ordered it." Korina huffed, watching Daniella as she extended her cutlery to her plate and took a piece of meat again."I swear, if you extend your hands to my plate again, you would lose those hands." She glared at her."Stop threatening me like you are some mobster's wife." Daniella said rolling her eyes."Just eat your salad and leave my steak in peace.""Fine, fine." Daniella raised her hands in mock surrender, "Is Anne still going to make it?" She took a spoon of her salad and her lips curled in distaste, "I shouldn't have ordered this." She grumbled."Nope." Korina replied, "She has a lot of shoots going on.""You know, we should go see her at her work place, sometime." Daniella suggested."So you could
Korina hid the frying pan behind her as she tiptoed to the door with Daniella following her."You can't use that on a ghost." Daniella wisphered, "It would pass right through him.""What does his ghost want?" Korina asked shakinly, "I didn't kill him.""Well, I guess ghosts don't care.""Hello." The voice called again banging on the door, "Is anyone there?"They were very close to the door now, "You open the door." Korina wisphered to her best friend,"And immediately you do that, amma turn and whack the fucker in the face.""Wait." Daniella said, "If he's actually a ghost, he would just pass through the door right? And how did he know where you live?""Just open the door Dan." She took a deep breath and tightened her hands around the pan handle.Daniella opened the door swiftly."Hel..." Korina didn't spare a gl
Cole had asked Korina to do the honors and pick where she would like to go on their first date and she was absolutely clueless.She had asked Daniella for help but all suggestions brought forth by her cousin were ridiculous cause they would put them in a position of getting intimate and maybe having sex. Like who the hell proposes getting cozy in the apartment for a third date and he hadn't even asked her to be his girlfriend yet.What if he asks? Korina panicked earlier, what do I do?"So Anne, what are your suggestions?" She was presently on a call with Anne now. Anne wasn't even in New York City at the moment, she had to travel to an Island which Korina had forgotten it's name, she had a shoot there."Uhhmm...how about the museum?" Anne replied, she was lost and totally dumbfounded. She barely had a love life. She rarely went on dates."You are hopeless." Korina replied
"I will have fried rice and a chicken breast." Cole said, he looked up from the menu and faced Korina, "What would you be having dear?""Still going through the menu." She said flipping the pages, her palms were sweaty now, she felt really anxious, the feeling she got had gotten worse."Please be patient." Cole told the waiter who already looked tired from standing."Oh it's okay." The man replied with a forced smile."I would have what he is having." She said closing the menu not being able to make a choice, "But with ribs not chicken.""Okay, sir, madam." He curtsied, "Be back in a few." The waiter turned away and left."Are you okay?" Cole asked noticing his date kept fidgeting, he saw she had sweaty palms and she glanced around her briefly as if expecting someone to jump out and pounce on her by moment."I am fine." Korina said, "Just stressed and n
"What are you doing here Brian?" Korina asked.She looked up at him and noticed he was with a new arm candy, a red head this time.Well, I am not surprised, She rolled her eyes."Is this your new boyfriend?" Brian asked nodding his head at Cole who sat there looking dumbfounded watching the events unfold before him."What he is to me is none of your damn concern." She spat eyeing him.He still looked attractive, more attractive even. He was biracial, really light skinned, great dark hair she once ran her hands through, she felt a painful tug at her heart."Gotten a little courageous now, haven't we?" He smirked."Brian leave me the hell alone." She said, "Please.""Why should I?" His smirk was beginning to infuriate her beyond reason, "I just want to see how my ex is doing.""Ex? What's going on here?" Coke asked,
Korina took the phone and angrily put it off completely.She was getting tired of the incessant beeping and ringing.She flung the phone across the bed not caring where it landed and settled back into her covers to sleep. That's all she had been doing for days now, sleeping, eating, she hardly took a shower, she never came out and she ignored all calls and texts, she wanted to be alone.Each time she remembered Brian's words, it stung her badly and made her eyes wet cause she believed they were true.No one would ever love me, She thought, every one had actually left and hurt her. The only permanent people in her life were her mother, who was now gone, Daniella, Aunt Dido, Mark and now Anne.She didn't know what to think of Cole, she didn't know what judgment to make about him, She wasn't sure what his motive was, was he g
