Chapter 31

"You've been in such a happy mood today. What's up?" Tom punched in some numbers into the calculator. He wrote down figures on a piece of paper and dropped it on Melvin's desk.The old monitor shook as his hand banged on the desk. Melvin hissed, but he continued bopping his head to the music coming from the store's speakers. "I say….ooooooh, I'm blinded by the lights!" He snapped his fingers and moved his shoulders from left to right.Tom shook his head and grabbed Melvin's phone from his desk. He turned off the music. "Why did you do that?" Melvin asked."You could have finished that work faster if you concentrated on completing it. You normally don't spend so much time on it." Tom moved back with the phone since Melvin could stand up at anytime."I'm not in the mood to go back and forth with you, okay? Hand the phone over." Melvin said."I wouldn't be bothered if you weren't smiling like a fish every now and then. You should let your boy know what's up!" Tom needed to satisfy his c

Chapter 32

For once, he was going out with a girl on a proper date and it wasn't just a random girl. It was someone as gorgeous as Serena. It made his head swoon.Serena had refused him coming to pick her up, so he was going to wait for her in front of the movie house. He found a good spot to park his car and he got out to the front of the building. He thought of texting her to let her know he had arrived, but he waved the thought off. He wasn't going to rush her. He ignored the curious eyes looking at him. Was he the first person to ever wait for someone on a date? People and not minding their business.Twenty minutes after seven, a cab pulled up in front of the building. He smiled as the leg of a female came out of the car. Then the full body emerged. She was wearing a pair of low heel slippers, flared jeans and a white square neck blouse with puffy sleeves.She looked adorable and it made him check himself to see if he was underdressed. He was wearing a purple check long sleeved shirt and ca

"It could be photoshopped," Hadley was on the settee, typing away on her laptop with a bowl of cereal beside her. She didn't get why Serena was perplexed. Serena looked at her with a disgusted face, "he doesn't seem like someone that would go through all that stress.""He's a web developer, they can make up anything," it was almost impossible to hear Hadley with her teeth crushing the crunchy cornflakes in her mouth.Serena paused for a while and tried to put one and two together. It didn't make sense. He wasn't a graphics designer, Hadley was of no use."Are you really going to do this, SC?" Hadley put her laptop aside and dropped the empty bowl on the side table."Do what?" Serena glared at her."You were having a beautiful moment. You were close to kissing Melvin and boom this loser from nowhere texts you and you drop everything just like that. What is wrong with you?"Serena recoiled in disgust as she remembered what happened that night, "I wasn't going to kiss Melvin.""But you

Hadley and Serena washed their sleepy faces and took their pillows to his apartment. He shook his head immediately when he saw them and he ushered them to his kitchen to grab the drink he had made.They waved at the guys there and a girl who was too engrossed in her phone to look at anybody."What did you put in here?" Hadley smelt the drink but she couldn't point out what it was. "I'd better not drop dead with your crazy recipe," she took a sip and let out a satisfied sigh.Serena saw her expression and decided to take a sip from her own drink. "Hmm, this is so good," she relished the sharp sweet taste of the margarita.Arthur playfully placed his hand on his chest and bowed before them. "Let me introduce you to my friends… where's Frank?" He checked around the room.Hadley spat into her cup bag as Frank came out of the bathroom. She wanted to act like nothing had just happened, but Arthur had noticed her reaction."Is everything okay?" He whispered."Yeahh," she smiled and dragged S

Serena watched her phone ring for the third time that afternoon. She had followed Hadley to Creamhood, so she could have a virtual interview early in the morning before the day got busy.Now, she was just sitting at a corner of the confectionary section which served as a coffee table. The space was airy and the sun rays penetrated through the blinds. She could feel its warmth on her skin and she desired to be at the beach, tanning her skin and watching the ocean waves crash while sipping coconut juice. It reminded her of her summer vacation.Jaxon had called her phone for the third time that day but she refused to answer. She didn't have time for his games.A guy in black shirt walked up to the counter. Serena could see him from where she sat despite the tall shelves. She had not spoken to Hadley about Frank since Arthur's party. She wondered what the outcome had been. She would probably ask Hadley when she came around.She smelt the croissant before it made its way to the table whe

Serena ran to hug her when she saw her coming down the road. They stood there in each other's arms for about a minute before letting go.Her aunt didn't look like the person she had known since her teenage years. She was less dressed up. She didn't wear any makeup. Her coats were just normal coats unlike the very stylish ones she'd wear each time.Serena could feel the tears welling up in her eyes. Nothing was said, but a lot was read in the silence. They were both helpless from the tragedy that had befallen their family. "How are you?" Mabel's voice was shaky. They were in a bookstore that had a small coffee shop attached to it. There was nothing Aunt Mabel enjoyed more than the smell of books and coffee mincing wafting through a cool breezy day.It didn't feel like it today. Her face had gotten thinner within a short while. Her hands lacked the usual extra sweet moisture they'd normally have. Serena held her hand firmly from across the table.Both of them hadn't even touched their

Chapter 37

The ride from the coffee shop to the station was a long one. The authority had requested that Jeff was moved to the bigger station which was at the borders of St. Lucas.Serena sat down on a seat in the reception while Mabel talked to the police officer at the front desk. It took a while before she came to sit with her."What did he say?" Serena checked her phone for the time. It was past four pm already."He said he was going to talk to the officer in charge. The chances of seeing him may be low."Serena wanted to ask why but prison visiting policies weren't exactly something you'd give yourself a headache about if you had no money.A young looking middle aged man walked into the reception. He wasn't in uniform but the way he brought decorum into the place showed that he was a well respected officer. He even had some uniformed officers walking closely behind him.Mabel confirmed it when she stood up to greet him immediately. "Good afternoon Chief," she smiled as she walked up to him f

"How was your meeting with your aunt yesterday?" Hadley asked Serena as they finished watching a movie together. She had given her space since she came back home."What can I say? Touching? I knew half of the reason he he did what he did was my fault, he said it." Serena said as she scratched the paint off her big toenail."He said what? Who is he?" Hadley wondered."Oh, I forgot to say. I saw my uncle yesterday. We went to the prison together." Serena said calmly as she went over the memory of her uncle in prison in her head."Ouu, I'm so sorry. How was he?" Hadley folded her legs in as she shut down the laptop."Not the Uncle Jeff we know, he looked way taller with his body emanciated." Serena said."Why would he say that, looks like he's blaming you for…""He didn't put it right, he's not blaming me. He just did things the wrong way to give us a good life, that's all. A lot of guys do it, he was just unlucky to be caught.""Is he going to get out soon?" Hadley asked.Serena shook h

Chapter 39

"Hi Melvin," a caramel blondie in an orange tank top and gray sweatpants dropped a white plastic bag on the counter in front of him."Hey," his greeting was cold and she knew she deserved that. She sighed. "I'm really sorry I haven't texted you since the other night, I had a lot to cope with…""What is this?" He sniffed the bag from where he stood.Serena returned to the cheerful mood she hopped into the store with, "croissants from Creamhood, I got them for you" she straightened the bag to reveal the logo on it."Oh, nice," he nodded as he moved things around the counter."It's not a bribe," she bent her neck to the side in a seemingly cute way, "look, can you spare me a minute, please?" Serena begged."I'm busy, Serena," Melvin said as he tapped on the fine wood of the counter. "Okay, I'll just call Tom to take my place for some time."Serena took the croissants out with her. Melvin led her to the front of the store where they had met the first time. They sat down. Serena got the c

Chapter 40

It was late afternoon on Friday. The day of the beach party. Melvin had sent her a funny sticker after she had had a short chat with him. He was going to leave work late but he would make it just in time for the event.The company she had interviewed with had already sent her an email saying they'd move on with another candidate. She didn't care less. It wouldn't affect her mood.She stood in front of the mirror and turned her back to see if the short she intended wearing for the party was covering her butt cheek properly. She was going to wear it with a spaghetti strap top and a chiffon kimono over it.She turned again to see her back then she adjusted it a bit. Perfect. She had had it for a year now. She hadn't worn it to any school event so it was quite new to the eyes that had not seen it.She made sure to check if she had any pictures of it on Instagram. There were none. Hadley barged into the room without knocking as she made to remove the short. "What is wrong with you?" Sere
