Anelia walked out to the back alley to throw the garbage outside. She used to be a bit anxious about taking it out at first but if there was something she knew about a new place; one always got used to it eventually and Macy’s place was no different. Especially with all the good people that she was fortunate enough to work with. Most importantly, she was thankful that she had applied for the job and gotten it. She did have her Ordinary Level Certificate, unlike what she had said to Dexter, but still, not many people had been willing to hire her when there were probably more learned people out there. Macy’s offered her not too much money but at the moment, it was not money thats she was currently after. Working for Dexter had had its perks and that was one of them. What she was looking f

“You must be kidding, right?” Anelia blurted with wide eyes. She blinked a few times at the fifty dollar bills that were placed inside a brown envelope. “No, you most certainly got the wrong address,” she laughed cheerlessly.   “I’m sure you most certainly did, eh,” she read his name tag. “Jerome, you got the wrong place.” She stretched her hand out, and eyed him to take the envelope out of her hand.   “But you’re Anelia Telford, right? That’s what you said your name was.” He looked up at the name of the restaurant. “And I’m sure that I most definitely got the right address. It says here to deliver at Macy’s to Anelia Telford. Unless, of course, if you aren’t Anelia Telford.”  Aneli

Freda put her hand on her forehead frustratedly. She couldn’t reach Paul and although she didn’t want to freak out, it was hard not to when she hadn’t been able to reach him all day long. She let a loose breath of air as the nerves started coiling inside her.   “Where the hell is this idiot when you need him?” She muttered coldly, her anger seeping through each syllable. She huffed and threw her phone on the couch, clutching her head and settling herself on the couch.   For a doctor, she felt  that Paul McCartney was not that smart and she could think about the different ways he could potentially cause trouble for her. She just hoped that he had not already caused any trouble for her.  

"Wait a second man," Dave suddenly grabbed his brother’s arm and pulled to a stop. "I don't think he would appreciate us getting our noses in his business." Brett eyed his brother and rolled his eyes. Though only a few people could tell them apart because of how closely they resembled each other, their personalities were nothing alike in many aspects. A significant one being that Brett was swift to make his mind up, whereas Dave was quick to change his mind.  "Look, it's fine if you've changed your mind. I can't hold that against you and I'm willing to do this alone." "Well, I guess it's decided," Dave said with a shrug. Brett patted him on the shoulder twice and walked off in the direction of the elevator.  "You better remember that I wanted to do this as much as you," Dave shouted after Brett who s

Weeks flew by and things in the Telford household slowly shifted back to normal. Oliver decided to stay, and their conversations became less robotic and dry. Less forced. Things gradually eased back to what had been their normal, asides from Oliver's occasional guardedness that although Anelia found rather cute, she hoped he would sooner lose it than later. It was Saturday and Oliver had flown over to see his parents. That meant it was just her and Natie for the weekend. Macy had finally forced her to take her off days that Anelia had for so long been procrastinating to claim. That meant it was either they spent the whole day in the house or they chose to go out.Anelia knew one thing for sure, she much preferred being out there surrounded by the buzz of people than being stuck at home with her thoughts doing a party in her mind. Which was why they were going to the movies to watch Frozen 2, upon Natie's request. "Nat, are you done?" Anelia spoke over her shoulder, not sure if Natie
