Bella got to the parking lot and made to open her car but paused when she saw another car there
“Who??, Isn’t that Andre’s car” she muttered and moved closer, truly it is Andre’s car
“Andre?” She called and looked around
“What are you doing here?”she asked
Andre sighed and looked elsewhere
“I’m sorry” he muttered
“What are you sorry for, what’s wrong you don’t look to good are you feeling well?” She asked worriedly
“I’m fine I was just looking for who to spend time with and apparently I found myself here” he muttered
Bella smiled and moved to his car, she tapped it for him to open and he did then she got in and sat down
“If you wanna hang out with someone then I’m here, I’m always here” she said
“Thank you” he smiled
She did seatbelt and looked at him
“So where should we go, I’m kinda hungry” she pouted ru-bbing on her tummy
“Alright, let’s go eat then” he replied and started his car
The drive to the restaurant wasn’t boring at all, Bella saying funny things as usual, finally they got to the restaurant, Andre c@m£ down and offered his hand for Bella
“Thanks” she blu-shed and accepted it
“Your feet, does it still hurt?” He asked
“No it’s fine alre-ady thanks to you and your cream” she replied and hvgged him arm ti-ght as they went in
They sat at the corner, Andre is busy on his phone as Bella is going throu-gh the menu, she then looked up at him again
“Are you sure you’re not hungry, everything I’m seeing here are delicious?” She asked
“I’m fine” he smiled
“Okay then don’t try picking my food when I’m eating” she muttered and called the waitress
“I’ll have the tea eggs, looks delicious”she said, the waitress bowed and left
Few mins later the food c@m£ to Bella
“Are you sure you’re not hungry?” She asked again and Andre chuckled
“I’m not go ahead and eat up it’s on me” he said
“Okay if you say so” Bella shurgged and began eating
“Can’t believe after all you ate you still ordered a Chinese handbuggers?” Andre said in disbelief as they were coming out of the restaurant
“Oh these handbuggers are yours incase if you get hungry again” she replied and entered the car
“So persistent” Andre chuckled and entered too
“You won’t mind if we go to the silent park right?” He said, starting the car
“I’ll go wherever you go” she replied set her seatbelt
Andre drove to the silent breezy park, the only thing to can see is the well treamed gras-s and benches, moonlight and stars
They got down from the car and took a silent work around, Bella kept smiling to herself while Andre kept thinking of something else
“Andre you don’t look too good is there something you’ll like to talk about perhaps are you hungry, I brou-ght your handbugger” she showed him the nylon
“Gosh you’re funny” he chuckled and sat on the long bench, she sat beside him and stared at his face
“Wanna talk about something?, I’m here you can trust and count on me” she said softly and he stared at her face and sighed
“Is it about your mom?” She asked
“How did you know?” He asked in surprise
“Well I’m my father’s daughter, he told me you’re working with him because of your mom but I don’t know the reason, why did she get arrested?” She asked
Andre sighed and looked elsewhere not saying anything
“Hey it’s fine if you don’t wanna talk I’m not forcing you, just thought you felt like sharing your problem with someone but if you don’t want too, it’s cool” she smiled
“I just wish she could get out of prison, I’m scared” he finally spoke
Bella looked at him. “Scared of what?” She asked
“I’m scared that her trial might fail again” he replied
“I have faith in my dad, everything would be fine this time trust me” she smiled and ru-bbe-d his shoulders
“I hope so, you see it’s not fair, it’s not fair I get to suffer. My mom was betrayed by her best friend about killing my dad, she was s£nt to prison up till now, my little brother was taking away from me, I thought having a girlfriend is helpful but I was wrong, she left me too and now I’m alone” he muttered and a tear drop fell off his eyes
“Your girlfriend left you, unbelievable” Bella muttered and blinked
“Better believe it, I wonder if I’m not good enough I mean I did everything I could to see her smile and make her happy but she never appreciated it, sometimes I feel like ending my life cause I’m cursed with bad luck, nothing good has ever happened to me, I just hate myself and I swear if I fail to get my mom out of jail or find my brother then I’ll just kill myself cause I’m useless” he said, trying not to breakdown
Bella began sniffing in her tears and it made Andre looked at her
“Why are you crying?” He asked
“Because of you, how could you say all that. You’ve tried your best Andre, you’re a good person, you’ve worked so ha-rd , you have a lot of admires outside you have a lot of girls crushing on you both young or old and you’re thinking of ending your life for someone that don’t deserve it, if you die what about me am I going to..
She paused and sniffed again
“I’m sorry if what I said hurt you, just felt like pouring my heart out to someone” he muttered
“How about we place a bet” she said and looked at him
“What bet?”
“If your mom wins her trial, you’ll buy me a puppy, those cute ones and if she fails, you’ll cut ties with me forever” she said
“Bella you..
“Come on, I promise you your mom win the case then you’ll get to find your brother,do you remember what he looks like?” She asked
“No he was just 2month old when we got separated, I did remember giving him a picture of me, mom and him together before they took him away, who knows if he’s still alive or dead” Andre shurgged
“It’s gonna be tough you don’t have any idea of where he was taking too?” She asked
“He was taken to Ying orphanage and after three years he got adopted but the person that did the adoption died by fire accident now all my hopes are crashed” he replied sourly
“No Andre, they aren’t crashed we are in this together, you can count on me I’ll make sure I find him for you” she said with full determination ma-king Andre chuckle
“I’m still curious on why you k!$$£d me that day at the hospital” he suddenly said
Bella cheeked reddened and she pressed herl-ips together and cursed herself inwardly
“I, I, I heard it do relieve stress so…” She tried to reason and Andre laughed out then leaned closer to her ma-king her lean back
“I’m pretty stressed out like right now won’t you relief it too?” He asked
Bella blinked servally and gulped. Is he teasing her right now??, Don’t he knows that if he doesn’t take time she’ll do it cause his pinkl-ips are freaking tempting
Andre chucked and tapped her nose. “what’s going on in your n@ûghty mind” he chuckled and stood up
“Are we leaving now?” She asked, standing up too
“I’m it’s pretty late,thank you so much Bella, your company really helped a lot” he said softly
“I’ll always be happy to help you with whatever you nee-d” she smiled and showed him the handbugger again
“I don’t wanna waste it” she said
“Alright let me have it” he collected it, opened and took a bite
“Delicious” he smiled, not knowing the mustard stained hisl-ips
Bella used her f!ngersto clean hisl-ips and then li-cked her it, she cleaned hisl-ips again and li-cked it while he blinked
“More delicious” she smiled
“Damn, you’re really crazy, really” he chuckled and she laughed out
“Come on I’ll drop you home” he smiled and opened the car for her, she entered and he entered too then zoomed off

Isabella dragged the cart and shopping bags to the counter along with Luli to pay for all what they bought while the girls are busy chatting outside
“You know I’m surprised that you’re driving a car, if the police catches you then you’re toast” Luna said, checking Ming car out
“They can’t catch her, if they do then we’ll jamb pas-s them” Benedict chuckled, munching on the big bag of ch!ps she bought
“You are always eating, if you don’t eat now then you eat then and surprisingly among all your friends you’re the skinniest” Luna laughed

While they were chatting Nina kept mute thinking about something
“Nina what’s wrong you’ve been quite all this while are you…
“I’ll be back” Nina cut Ming off and rushed to a section, leaving the girls in complete confusion
She got to where boys chains are kept, her eyes cought the one that’s priced 30,000CN¥ and she smiled
She took it and waited for Isabella to leave the casher, once she saw all of them had gone outside she rushed to pay for it before joining then outside
Ming and Benedict has packed all the shopping bags to the booth, Luli is sitting inside the car and dealing with a hvge loli-pop
“Look she finally c@m£ out, why did you run back in?” Benedict asked she moment she saw Nina stepped out
“I just went to do something now shut up” Nina rolled her eyes
“Alright girls we’ll get going, bye bye” Luna waved, entering her mom’s car
Isabella waved to but c@m£ back to take a pic of Nina then entered the car, living Nina in pure confusion
“Why the pic mom?” Luna asked
“I’m telling you I saw her picture in Alex’s l@pt©p, he codded her to make a game and I wanna show him this when we get home” Isabella squeeled
“Gosh” Luna chuckled and rolled her eyes
“Remember I said we’ll talk about something later?” Isabella asked, driving alre-ady
“Hmm what?”
“So tell me which guy is ma-king you think this days, bah bah bah, don’t try to deny it I know it’s guys problem” Isabella said
“You’re unbelievable mom, drive quic-k I can’t stay with you for long” Luna laughed
“You don’t want to tell me right?, I’ll figure out my self, right on Tuesday, follow me to the cake sto-re, so we can get a cake for your brother’s birthday” Isabella said
“Oh, Wednesday but mom I’ve been meaning to ask, how come I and Alex are the same age but share different birthday?” Luna asked, staring at her mom curiously
“Ah.. because..” Isabella phone rang at that point saving her, she immediately picked and began chatting with the person while Luna stared at her suspiciously

“I took pictures the place was fantastic,come see” Nelson brou-ght out his phone and began showing Benedict pictures, occasionally Fred would try to make b©dy contact with Benedict by stylishly using his hands to ru-b her, when she looks at him he’ll act like he don’t know
Ming stood from her car, staring at Nelson even as he’s talking and smiling he’s looking more handsome
Nina stylishly looked at Alex, their eyes met and he win-ked at her, she blinked and face front, smiling to herself
“Hey let’s go in, come say hi to my mom” Nelson said and Nina nodded
“Alright, let’s make it quic-k it’s pretty late” Fred replied and they all went in..

“Woah your house is really small” Alex muttered
“I know right?” Nelson chuckled and looked around
“Nina where’s mom?” He asked
“She was still slee-ping when I left” Nina shurgged and carried slee-ping Luli to her room
“Maybe she has gone out, so tell me which among you guys wants a tour?” Benedict asked
“I know I do” Fred raised his hands
“Me too” Ming smiled
“And I’ll tour over kitchen pot, inspecting what mom cooked before she left#” Nelson win-ked and went to the kitchen

“Let’s go” she shouted and began walking around, with them following behind

“Alright Alex” she said and he smiled
“Did you really buy my ticket??” She asked with sparkling eyes
“Ofcourse but it’s at home, if I had known I was gonna come here then I would have brou-ght it over but o well” he replied with a shurg
“It’s fine I’ll just collect it on Monday” she smiled and held his hands
“Let me give you a tour around since you refused to go with Benedict” she said pu-lling him to the kitchen, where Nelson is busy opening all the pot
“This is our little kitchen, where I or mom get to cook, Benedict don’t really do anything” she said and he chuckled
“Come” she dragged him to the main bathroom
“This is were we all brush our teeth and dress if we want too, mostly it’s for brushing teeth” she said
“Nice, I wanna see your room” he said
“Alright, come on” she gr@bb£d him to her room
Alex chuckled seeing how babyish everywhere looks, just exactly how he pictured, everywhere was yellow and flower printed in colour and it has this warm orange light
“I don’t want us to shout cause Luli is slee-ping here, this is my wardrobe” she pointed and dragged him to her bathroom
“This is my bathroom” she said

“What are you guys gisting about” Nina asked, taking a sit with them, Alex sat beside her
“I’m telling them about funny moments of you” Nelson said
“Hey no no don’t do that don’t…
The door opened revea-ling Becky and Vida
“Jeez mom where did you go too” Nelson frowned
“And what’s with the sun glas-ses?” Benedict asked cause Becky is wearing a sun glas-s
“That’s not the greetings I deserve” Becky scolded
“Fine evening, meet my friends mom” Nelson said
“Hi ma’am” Fred and Alex waved
Becky smiled turned to frown when she saw Alex, her eyes cought a very tiny star shape mole on his n£¢k, she blinked severally as she stared at him
“Oh hey” she smiled immediately
“Where’s Luli, is asleep alre-ady?” Vida asked and Nina nodded
“Thanks I’ll go carry her” Vida smiled and went to Nina’s room
“Make yourself at home guys, are you hungry. Nina I brou-ght some noddles you can cook it for all of you”
“Alright” Nina smiled and stood up, going to the kitchen
“Actually ma’am there’s no nee-d, just wanted to say hi to you I’ll be leaving now” Alex stood up
“Alright take care” Becky f0rç£d a smile, not taking her eyes of him
Fred stood up too along with Ming
“Ma bros, bye” Nelson shook them
“Friend of my sis bye” he shook Ming’s hand too
“His hands are soft and warm” Ming thought, blu-shing lightly which Benedict noticed

“Tomboy see you on Monday” Fred said extending his hands to shake Benedict
“Likewise Mr look boy” she accepted and he pu-ll-ed her for a hvg, then ran out immediately

Fred decided to ignore him and began climbing the stairs to him room
“Where were you since?” Dave spoke up ma-king Fred freeze on his track
Fred chose not to reply

“So what if I am, what are you gonna do about it” Fred asked

“Tommorow you’ll quit working for him” he said
“Not gonna happen” Fred replied
“You will, cause if you don’t then…” he sm-irked and brou-ght out his phone then opened it
“She gets it” he added showed Fred a picture of Benedict, looking totally unaware
Fred g@sped and looked at Dave in anger
