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
"It's all your fault." Korina growled at Daniella.The police officer laughed as he closed the cell."Enjoy your stay ladies." He locked it and pocketed the key, whistling as he strolled off."What?!" Daniella scowled at Korina who stared daggers at her, "What did I do wrong?""What did you do wrong?" She asked staring at her wide eyes, "You assaulted him now we are in jail.""Hey." Daniella pointed a finger at her cousin, "I was only trying to defend your ass, he insulted you for pete's sake.""And I told you to let it go." Korina groaned in frustration, "Now look where it landed us."She walked over to the empty bench in the cell and sat on it."He deserved it." Daniella said, she went over to join her cousin."And even more." Korina agreed, "But now we are in jail and he is walking free.""I hope the sp
"There, all done." Korina said tying up the trash bag, she scanned the apartment and felt a deep inner satisfaction, it was clean and well organised now."Now it looks like where an actual person is staying." Daniella said, she was leaning against the cupboard, "And it's all thanks to me." She smirked, Korina shook her head and bent to pick the last trash bag, she had no strength to argue with her best friend.The trip up and down the elevator was quite fast today unlike the day she got stuck with a mad man, she had gone to dispose the trash and the elevator decided to be fast.She rolled her eyes at the thought of it being slow when she had to go to work."Whenever are you gonna reply Cole?" Daniella asked as soon as Korina stepped back in the apartment."I don't know Dan." She said moving to the sink to wash her hands, "I screamed at him while he was trying to help."She squirted
"So glad to have you back bitch!" Mark said pulling Korina into a hug, tightening his arms around her."Can't breathe." She said fake gasping for air making Mark laugh as he released."I missed you Mark." Korina said, she reached out a hand and ruffled his hair."Hey." He slapped her hand away frowning at her, "I don't joke with my hair yunno, it get's me all the girls." He winked."Oh shut up." She scoffed. Korina had decided to get her ass back to work before her boss finally reached the conclusion that she has had enough and was issued a sack letter.Moreover, she needed to get out, to get out of her house, meet and interact with actual real life humans not watching tv or playing games.She hated to admit it but getting out of the house was really necessary and she felt better already seeing other people apart from
