“Okay, friend I will go back there and see if I will be able to see him,“ Jane responds before turning her back to leave for the community site where she had met with Hendricks near the water.Her whole being was kind of disturbed after the had thought back to the incident that had taken place the other time. Her mind was not at peace as she questioned herself about the dangers she could face if another gangster gets to find her there. But all that was not important because she needed answers to her question and only he could give them to her.“Baby girl, you need to be bold and strong okay? If you do not go there right now, you may never find the answers to the questions that you are having and it will only hurt you the more.“ A voice spoke out inside her had but another was quick to contract it as it asked back, “He was crystal clear in the short note that he left on the table for you right? What if you didn’t meet his expectation as a woman? Besides, if he wanted to see you like i
“How dare he look at another woman when I am still here?“ Mia cried out in anger and her eyes were filled with rage as though she could commit murder and her friends stood by her, they did their best to console her but the pain and humiliation that she was feeling inside were too much.“Calm down Mia, I just think that you are mounting too much pressure on yourself. Leave the guy alone and move on with your life.“ One of her friends let out and the other nodded her head in affirmation of what the other had asserted, she told Mia not to worry her head over Hendricks again because, from all indications, Hendricks was no longer interested in her.Giving attention to that, Mia got up and gave her friend a dirty slap that was hard enough to reset her brain and she seemed out asking who had asked for her opinion.“Hey, Mia, why will you do that to Steph? She was only talking.“ Bianca opposed what she had just done but Mia not looking remorseful for what she had done, she went closer to Steph
“Mom lives in Makepe now,“ I responded. “Makepe?“ she asked not believing her ears. “Yes, is there any problem with that?“ I asked with concern. Jane nodded, affirming that there was a problem, I wanted to know at once what the issue was all about. “And, what is that problem, you can talk about it, I will solve it if it is something I can do it,“ I replied. “The issue is, I have never been to Makepe before but I do hear that it is a nice place, not even once; I know that is shameful on my part since it is just an hour’s journey to the place. Even if I go there, I don’t know anybody there nor do I have a place to sleep. Lastly, I do not think if my job will allow me to go with you,“ Jane poured out her heart’s content to me. I tasted the truth in her words and it made a lot of sense to me, it was not her fault that she had not been there before. I weighed every one of her complaints and came up with suitable solutions for their problems. “I think you do not need to know the plac
“At you feeling better now?“ David examined but He sticks who was just seated there quietly, he had no strength to talk about what had just happened.“I need to get some rest now Dave. We shall see about that deal in the morning, okay?“ Hendricks spoke out nicely while he looked id in the eyes. Knowing how calm Hendricks was, he had to accept that and leave him alone as Hendricks, was not a lover of noise.“Okay man, we chat tomorrow then. Say hi to your mom for me amd do take care.“ David muttered while giving a high five to his friend and Hendricks smiled at him and wished him the same.He looked pale but it was not due to the incident that had just taken place. Hendricks used looking that way, simply because, he was in wonder as to how someone like Jane could take him if he decided to present himself before her again. “Is she going to be happy seeing me? Or will she just look at me like some gold differ who is after her wealth?“ Those questions kept on popping up inside Hendricks’s
The side of her from where she was seeing her mom, was dark and while Jane tried to look at it closer, she realized that her mom was walking out of the dark and was approaching her.“My little princess, how are you doing?“ Her mother raised a question with tears dripping down her eyes and Jane seeing that, could not hold back her tears, and they fell off like some running tap that was left open.“Mommy, why did you have to leave me? When are you coming back?“ Jane asked crying out deeply whole going down from her bed to touch her mom and her mother, looking at her as though she was going to break down seeing her daughter weep in that manner, she took up her right hand and touched Janes’s face with a smile before saying, “Shhhhhhh do not cry my lovely daughter for I am always here with you and I will always be. Though you cannot see me like you use to do, I just want you to know that I am always here and had never left and will never leave you alone.“ Bit I need you momma. Daddy makes
“Do you feel better now?“ Clark pleaded with Jane as he looked her in the face while his left hand caressed her hair and Jane did not know what to say, she just say there with ears still running down her eyes.It was hurting for her to feel that way but she needed to be strong as she was the only one to face her dad concerning her mother’s disappearance which was not clear to her.Approaching her as he had in mind to pace a kiss on her lips, but Jane being wise, had anticipated his moves so she immediately got up from the couch and walked to the other side of the living room.Clark felt so awkward faced with that situation and since he had planned on doing something good with her, he immediately proposed that they go out and have some fun.“Fun?“ Jane Inquired with her mouth drawn backward and Clark nodded with a smile on his lips, and he rose up from the settee and approached her.“I want to take you out so that you will get your mind off the four walls of this house and to get you to
Hendricks thought stoically, as she stared at the teenage boys who played outside in the open field which was beside his house.“Your food is served son, come and eat it before it gets cold.“ Melanie let out subtly but Hendricks who was being caught between two worlds, he had no idea of what was going on around him, and that reaction about him, scared the living daylight in his mom.Standing beside her son for close to five minutes without him even realizing that his mother was there, Melanie had to tap him lightly on his shoulder, with caution so as not to freak him out and drive his spirit away from his body.“Mom?“ Hendricks called out his mother’s name as soon as his eyes set on her.“Are you okay son?“ Melanie quickly interrogated but Hendricks not wanting to worry his mother, he answered to her question with another with his lips moving together at the same time.“Have you taken your drugs already mom?“ “Don’t you dare to change the subject, Hendricks?“ Melanie pressed on with i
The feeling of going out after all this while made Jane to feel happy and loosened Her mind was getting free and her actions could show how excited that little outing with Clark had helped her.“You loved it?“ Clark’s voice questioned from the other end of the table and Jane took to her head and nodded it as though her mouth could not let out the words that were in them.She was loving the restaurant where they had their early dinner.“This place is beautiful and I love it, Clark. You had great plans for me this day.“ Janes’s words flattered Clark who felt like he was on top of the world after she had said that.“I always give you good vibes and you know it, Jane. Just that you don’t want to see me my be more than a friend.“ Clark mumbled softly with so much grief on his face. They both have been struggling with such an awkward situation and knowing how hard it was for Jane to be around him with his feelings, she just had to bear with him while hoping that Clark was going to understan
