“Do not tell me that we are having coffee for lunch Chester.” Tia said when Chester came to her table with two hot cups of coffee, setting one down in front of her and the other in front of him after he had sat down opposite her. He chuckled when she said that and shook his head.
She had decided to come here to spend her break time with Chester, and after all, he had called her earlier in the morning to invite her out for lunch, if having coffee was the lunch then had had got to be joking.
The place was empty and not even the workers had come today, he had even placed a “closed” sign on the front door although he had left it open, leaving just the two of them in the shop. Tia was happy that she could at least spend some quality alone time with him but she was also worried about his business, would it not be affected? She was beginning to feel bad.
Chester noticed her countenance and asked. “Tia, what is
Tuesday, the 10th of May. 01:01pm. The office was dark as it had always been but today, it felt even darker. All the curtains were down and the bulbs in the room had been turned off, the only one left was the one which hung low directly above the desk and it was dim. The ceiling to floor windows which lined the entire wall behind the desk were left totally covered, except for a little space where the curtain was left hanging open to allow the littlest of light stream in. The only person that could come in here and order that the curtains be tied back up was not here, and she would never be coming back here. The pain of never having to see Stacey ever again caused his heart to ache, the doctor had said that it was a miracle he had not suffered a heart attack and his blood pressure was quickly rising. Colin Hunt sat on the large leather seat facing the back windows and seemingly lost in thoughts, he was the strong man of Skyline group, the grand f
Tuesday, the 10th of May. 01:04pm. “So how did you know him?” Chester asked Tia as he drove her to the station. Break time was over and he knew that she would have to get back to work although he really wished that she could spend the whole day with him. “Huh? Who?” She faced him. He glanced at her from the corner of his eyes, he really did not know how to ask this without it sounding odd. She could mistake it for him being jealous and maybe he was but what was there to be jealous of? “The Michael guy earlier, how did you know him?” “Oh, him.” She smiled and looked ahead. “I met him at Skyline club, he was kind of like my saviour at the time.” Chester looked confused. “Your saviour? How?” “Well, there was this guy who was half drunk and would not stop bugging me. I was almost ready to give him a punch right across the jaw to dislocate it but Michael stepped in at the right time and prevented that from happening.”
Wednesday, the 11th of May.09:11am.It was much too early to be on a stake out and why did it have to be her? She munched away angrily at the bag of corn chips she held in her hand and whining about how it lacked the flavoured taste it once had when the product had first been launched. This morning was cold and chilly and just too quiet, nothing happened around here and the officer she was with assured her that it was just this neighbourhood, it was kind of like a dead zone. No life.They sat in the warm car a well hidden distance from the Neil’s house, they were to keep an eye out for Trisha, to monitor her movements and maybe bait the serial killer. That part Tia did not really take down comfortably, the part of using Trisha as bait, but then Aiden had assured her that she would not come to any harm as long as they had her in their sights.The officer seated in the driver’s seat beside her yawned and she wondered if he had gotten any
Wednesday, the 11th of May.10:30am.Sometimes it takes a little sacrifice to get what you want and he knew that he would eventually get just what he had been waiting for all night and even up to this morning. He yawned and stretched, he had not slept a wink last night and his back was all cramped up, he could feel that his bottom was now numb and his legs could use a good walk but he could not leave. Hr could not step out from the car now and risk being seen.He squeezed his eyes shut and opened them, blinking rapidly to clear his vision. He checked the time on his dash board, the girl was late already, how difficult was it to leave the house any way? He focused on the house and although he was parked so far away to avoid being detected, most especially by the police men who sat in their car so close to the house, he could see clearly without the help of a binocular. He watched the windows and the doors, waiting for her to sneak out of the house but still
Wednesday, the 11th of May. 12:54pm. “He is one hot man, is he not?” Tia heard from behind her and turned to see Blair smirking at her. ”What? Who?” She was momentarily confused. Blair nodded her head in the direction that the car had driven off from. “I am talking about him, the man you were so engrossed in.” It hit Tia and she chuckled, shaking her head. “Oh that? No, no, he just looked familiar somehow.” “Hmm…” Blair replied and Tia knew that she did not believe her one bit. She sighed and nodded, she had not come all the way here to argue with a love lost woman who was having a crush on one of her bosses. “He is the first son of the Hunt, you know?” Blair said and Tia raised her eye brows in mild surprise. “Really?” “Yeah, he was on the news at that time, he returned not so long ago and ugh…! is he not the dreamiest?” Tia forced a smile and nodded. “Hmm… yes.” Focus. “Blair I actually came here
Wednesday, the 11th of May. 07:12pm. She was done with work for today and she was as tired as tired could be, all she could imagine right now was some warm food and her really soft bed and a really long night with the best sleep she would have in a while. Aiden had left much earlier, said he had some important things to deal with and she had just nodded when he told her. The day was still some how bright when she stepped out of the building but the thunder that rumbled in the distance assured her that the dark clouds would soon be rolling in, it would rain tonight and she would be wrapped up and warm in bed. She sighed excitedly as she imagined the scenario, her smiling face as she slept, she could not wait to get home. As she descended the few flight of stairs in front of the building, she spotted Chester leaning on the side of his car, his arms crossed and his head down, on a closer look she noticed that his eyes were closed but his head nodded slowly
Thursday, the 12th of May.08:33am.The sun light filtered in through the closed windows, striking Chester in the face and causing him to wake up, he grunted and tried to roll over but his hand was trapped and something beside him stirred, he opened his eyes with a frown on his face to see that he was beside a still sleeping woman and everything came to him. He smiled, he was not used to waking up with someone beside him and so close to him too but he was happy that this was not a dream, he was sure he had dreamt of her all through the night.She had her back pressed to him and he could almost feel her skin through the thin shirt she still had on. She barely had on. The shirt had dropped around her shoulder and lower down her arm, exposing her neck, shoulder and a little of her back, he could not stop staring.“How could I have gotten you?” He asked himself but spoke out loud in a soft voice. He watched her body rise and fall as she brea
Thursday, the 12th of May.11:01 amShe had over slept and she knew that she had but this was one of those mornings in which she really never wanted to get out of bed, most especially right now because she felt safe, secured and loved in the arms of Chester whose hot breath fanned the back of her neck. His breathing was steady and gentle and she knew that he was still fast asleep, she wanted to turn around to look at his sleeping face because she had slept with her back to him and him spooning her, but she did not want to wake him up so she just remained like that, a big grin on her face which she tried to hide by pulling the covers up over her face.His arm around her waist twitched a little and he took in a really deep breath, his heaving chest pushing against her back before settling down and into the normal rhythm of his steady breathing. Her hands moved, tracing over his which was around her waist, she traced her fingers down to his and clasped them togethe
