PICNICS AND OLD FLAMES, PART ONEHEARTS PRIVATE PARK, 10 AM"Why the hell did you bring me here? I clearly stated that this isn't a date," Robin queried once again while pointing at the private park for picnicking, where they had stopped.Andrew took her hands in his and said, "relax, there's no need to get all worked up. I brought us here to have a picnic and to get to know each other better. You know you should be glad to have a hotshot prodigy like me taking you out on a picnic," Andrew combed his fingers through the front of his gelled back hair."Oh please, we are not in the office now Drew, so I can decide whether I want to stay for this picnic or not. Just so you know I don't," Robin folded her hands over her bosom, with a serious look.Andrew eyed her chest, where her hands were folded and took off his eyes from her ridden up breasts, before answering, "Come on Rob, you're the first girl I'm ever taking out on a picnic. Okay, why don't you see this as a picnic for two friends,

ISSUESACHIEVER'S UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, PENNY'S CAFE, 7:00PM.Clara walked into the cafe, Stacey had directed her to, she figured it must be owned by a lady, given it's name.Robin had come back to the hostel in a very bad mood and she and Stacey decided to brighten her mood with some ice cream and snacks.She smiled to herself after coming in, the cafe had a homey feeling with the aroma of cakes and coffee, filling the air. She made her way to the counter to make her order and there stood a blonde woman, probably in her early thirties, with a beaming smile, she had on a black apron with the Cafe's name inscribed on it and she figured, she was probably Penny, given the name tag with Penelope at the top of the apron."Hello, what can I help you with?" Penny asked."I'd like a large bowl of ice cream, three packs of potato chips and chocolate chips, please," she answered."Sure, you can take a seat while I pack it up for you."Clara turned to look around the place, she noticed was e

BUTTERFLY LODGE, 6:45AM.CONFRONTATIONS"You're the light, you're the nightYou're the colour of my blood.You're the cure, you're the pain,You're the only thing I wanna touch...," Came the ring tone of Robin's phone, which had her getting up from her sweet sleep.Without checking the caller ID, she answered the call with a groggy voice, "Hello, Robin speaking.""How are you sweet Robin, I'm terribly sorry to wake you up so early, but I had a lot to handle at home yesterday and wasn't chanced to ask how you picnic date with Drew went," came the voice on the other line.Robin quickly took a look at the caller ID from her sleepy eyes and read Margie, she quickly got up and thought to herself, ' so Drew actually told her it was a date?' and answered instead, "It's no problem, you actually helped me to wake up early, I've got some morning lectures today. The date was perfect, I especially liked the cupcakes, your baking is excellent. It actually reminded me of my mum, she was a baker.""

THE COLD HARD TRUTH.FACULTY OF DESIGNING, 8AM.Andrew led Robin all the way to an empty lecture room and finally stopped when they got in. "What the hell was that about? You didn't have to go all macho on John like that. He is my friend and I understand him more than you or anyone else could. He..." Robin queried."Your friend? Can't you see that Stacks is no friend to you at all. If he were truly your friend, there's absolutely no way he would have insulted you like that, how can you still take his side in all this?""That's my problem, it has absolutely nothing to do with you okay? John was only hurt by the fact that I didn't tell him about my supposed relationship with you, I've known John for so long, we tell each other almost everything. He was only being protective and he's just like a brother to me, you had absolutely no right to hit him like that. He is entitled to feel bad that I hid such a big thing from him and that's why he lost his cool.""I'm pretty sure what Stacks fee

I'M SORRY.THE BRAVES CLUB, 3:25PM.The sound of a knock at the door, had Andrew looking up from the app he was creating on his computer, taking a look at the wall clock in front of him, he wondered why Robin had not showed up at the club yet. He muttered a swear word at the break in his concentration before saying "come in," in his deep masculine voice.At his reply, the subject for his annoyance throughout the entire day walked in. After the argument with her that morning he had gone through all his lectures with a sour mood and it was even worse when he got to the club.Though he wasn't one who was extremely friendly with his staff, but he surely wasn't always as unpleasant as he had been the entire day.He had found faults in all the ideas and projects that everyone brought up to him, even his most competent members of the club Harry and Stanley had not been spared from his scolding.To top it all, Gina, a blonde student from his department, who also worked for him as a designer m

THE LITTLE THINGS.HARVEY SNACKS DINER, 6:30PM."I'd like us to have lasagna for dinner, I know it's your favorite, right?" Robin asked with a smile after a while of keeping silent."That's great, but I don't want you forcing yourself to eat something you don't like, I know you love pizza and I hate it, so let's do it this way. You'll have pizza and I lasagna, what do you think?""I like lasagna too, but not as much as you, so we will both have it and after dinner I'll tell you what you will do to compensate me," Robin replied."Hmm, am I free to imagine that you'd ask for a kiss or two?" Andrew asked teasingly."You wish, I'll let you know later. Could you drive any faster, you're driving like a granny, I'm so hungry that I could pass out now. Come on, step on it.""Me a granny? I'll show you who's a granny," Andrew replied as he stepped on the accelerator and in a few minutes they parked at the entrance of the diner.They got in and sat at a table after making their order. Andrew to

FALLINGMEGHAN'S ICE CREAM FACTORY, 8PM."Take the ice cream as dessert. Even if I don't have the money to take us to an expensive uptown restaurant, at least I can complete the whole experience this way. So what flavour would you like to have? Don't you even tell me you're not an ice cream person." Robin asked after they took a booth at the ice cream factory.Andrew looked at her angelic face, he felt his heart constrict with a strange emotion and the need to protect the girl in front of him. "You know you didn't have to, I could have just taken us out to an uptown restaurant.""No, that wouldn't have worked, since it's my treat, we have to play by my rules.""Aye aye captain," Andrew replied with a smile."Good, so what flavour of ice cream would you like?" Robin asked smiling."I prefer chocolate to any other flavour, what about you? You strike me as the Strawberry type.""Not even close, I also love chocolate, so I guess that's the first thing we have in common, right?" Robin aske

BETRAYAL AND LOVE.BUTTERFLY LODGE, 9PM.Robin rang the doorbell of her flat and waited for Stacey to open up before getting in."Where the hell have you been? I never saw you as the type who keeps late nights," Stacey said.Robin only smiled and took a seat on the couch where Clara was seated, before answering, "Guess what? I finally gave Andrew my answer," she said while blushing."Please, tell me you said yes," Stacey said excitedly."Tell me you said no. Andrew is such a player, you should know that," Clara said."Calm down guys, I know what I'm doing okay? I said yes and I don't regret it, I will make sure not to get too emotionally attached to him and I will be the one to break things off surely," Robin replied with a determined look.Stacey gave her a high five and said, "that's great, I have the feeling that you're the girl who would unravel the mystery behind Andrew and his past. He has never been able to talk about his mum to anyone. You are different from anyone else he has

IT'S ALL ABOUT FORGIVENESS PT 1BUTTERFLY LODGE, 8AM.A Week Later...Andrew's black sports car came to a stop at the parking lot of Robin's lodge. He had promised her on their date to a gaming house, the previous night to take all of their friends out for the day, since it was a Saturday.Taking the stairs, he rang her doorbell, to which Clara opened the door. Since he and Robin started dating he had only said hello to her and there was still some kind of awkwardness around them because of what happened in high school with Evans."Hey, where's Robin and Stacey?" He asked with a tight smile."They just went out to get some things from the pharmacy," Stacey replied and motioned for him to come in."The pharmacy? Is Robin fine? I mean is anyone of you sick?" He asked in a worried tone.Over the last week, Clara had noticed how concerned Robin and Andrew had become about each other and she could see from the look on Andrew's face that he was very worried about Robin. It made her feel hap

IT'S ALL ABOUT FORGIVENESS PT 2BUTTERFLY LODGE, 9AM.Andrew looked at Stacey as he wondered if she had actually heard what he had said."It's nothing, don't mind what he said. Are you ready, let's go," Robin said as she tried to stop Stacey from asking more questions."I heard you say Miller has liked me since the first time we were introduced," Stacey pressed on.She just wanted to know if that was what she actually heard, because she had liked Miller since a long time and wanted to know if she was the only one with those feelings. He had always seemed unreachable because he was the governor's son and she was only the daughter of a maid."Yes, he has always liked to be your friend. What I meant was we can all be friends, right Rob? I mean Stacey is my childhood friend, it's not abnormal if my best friend wants to be friends with her. Let's get going then, we have places to visit," He quickly changed the topic."He's right, that's what he meant, I think we should get going now. I can
