*?WE FINALLY MET?*
Episode 09
****Dave’s POV****
I don’t think I know her or could she be one of my fans too?. I thought to myself.
“Hy I’m Regina matins. A fan of yours. It’s good to see you like this”she said. “Oh. Ok miss Regina. Thank you”I said. “Well if you don’t mind, can I have a picture with you?”she asked smiling.
I don’t want to but I can’t say no too. I put on a nervous smile and said ok. She went to bring her phone and came beside me. She stretched her phone forward and took a selfie smiling. She took couples of pics and finally stopped. I took a breath of relieve when she moved away from me. “Thanks for you time. It’s great to meet you in person. And I’m sorry for the accident.”she said. “It’s ok. You don’t have to”I said with a fake smile.
“I think I nee-d to go”I said and left her. “Ok bye. I wish to see you again”she said and I went into my car. I sighed relaxing my head back on the seat.
“Looks like I still got some die ha-rd fans of mine left.”I said and smiled. I started the car and left.
******* Annabel’s POV *******
Rachael and the girls left and I was the only one at home again. I was watching a movie in the living room with a big cu-p of popcorn before me. It’s 6:35pm, I guess Dave won’t be home yet.
After some minutes, I dozed off already and it was the ring tone of my phone that woke me. I opened my eyes and sluggishly reached my hand for my phone. I took it to my face and saw Dave on the screen. I jumped up on my feet quickly and cleared my throat before picking it.
“Hello”I said.
“Hy. You told me to call you when I’m home”he said. “Yes. Are you home?”I asked and he replied yes. I dropped the call without bothering to ask if I should come or not. I went into my room and changed into something comfortable. A pink sweatshirt and a blue Jean. I dressed my hair properly and sprayed some collagen on myself. It’s not like I’m going for a date. I wonder why I’m doing all this just to visit a neighbor close to me. I thought to myself.
I took my phone and headed out.
When I got to his door, I pressed the bell. But no response. He just doesn’t opened the door on time. Is that a habit?
I pray he doesn’t put off the lights today too. I took a de-ep breath and wanted to press the bell again but the door flung open. I looked inside then stepped in when I didn’t see him. The door closed and I looked back. He was standing behind the door. He look at me and I put on a shy smile raising my hand. “Hy”I said. “Hy”he replied staring at me. Thank God he’s not putting on all black today. He wore a blue Polo and black short. He looks so amazingly s-×y. Well, he’s always like that. Dripping hot. Hell no!. What am I thinking again. Just get to your senses Annabel.”I thought to myself.
“You can have your seat.”he said in his soft friendly tone. “Thanks”I said and went to sit down on the couch.
He sat opposite to me and was staring at me not blinking. I caught his eyes and I blus-hed. Oh my God I hope he won’t notice how embarras-sed I am right now. There was an awkward silent between us and my heart was beating fast that I think he can heart it too. Stop you stupid heart.
“Uh… You said you have something to say”he said breaking the long silent.
“Oh yeah.”I said not looking at his face. I think his face makes my heart go crazy when I see it. It’s better to avoid them till I finish whatever I wish to say or I might end up saying nonsense. “What is it?”he asked.
“Yes. It’s about the inci…”I looked up and caught his eyes. I stopped and hiccu-p. I covered my mouth and quickly looked back down. “Sorry”I said feeling embarras-sed. “Is there a problem?”he asked. “No but…”I said and look at him. “What?”he asked staring back at me.
Oh my God! I can’t do this. No I can’t. I can’t” I thought to myself.
“Please Can you do me a favour right now?”I asked.
******* Dave’s POV ********
I was sitting on the stood instead of the couch with my back turned to her. I wonder why she asked me to do it. Does my face irritates her or I look scary to her?”I thought to myself in confusion.
“I’m sorry I ask you to do this but I have no choice”she said. “It’s ok. You can go on”I replied with a little smile.
“Ok. About the incident, can you remember anything that happen to you that night?”she asked. I thought and thought but couldn’t.
“No. I can’t”I said.
“I think that’ll be ha-rd. You must have been put on heavy drugs”she said. “You think so too?”I asked and turned to her face. She didn’t reply but was staring blankly at my face. I think I scared her. “Oh sorry”I said and turn back again.
“Ok.”she said and I folded my arms quietly.
“Yes. I think you were drugged but still, you should be able to remember”she said. “I try doing that but I couldn’t”I said.
She was quite for a while then spoke again.
“Ok was there anyone else there with you at the club. Maybe someone who you went with”she asked. “Yes there is.
Michael was there but he went out to make call. He told me he could not find me again when he got back”I said.
“That’s strange.”she said.
“Michael is a suspect”she said and that made me turn to her.
“What?”I asked staring her her in confusion.
“Yes. If he truly can’t find you, the first thing that he should do is to call the police but he didn’t? He went home alone. Why?”she asked looking at me. “But Michael can’t do that.”I said.
She put on a half sm-irk and stood up staring at me. “You still trust people at this stage?”she asked. I then think about everything again. It’s true Michael went out saying he have to pick a call but he told me while we were in the car that his phone was off. Could Michael know about this too?”I thought to myself.
“Suspect number one is Michael.”she said. “I think you’re right”I said looking at her.
“We nee-d to do proper investigation. First of all, we’re going to visit the club you went to that night maybe you can start picking some things from there or what do you think?”she asked and I reason with her. “Ok. That’ll be good.”I said and she smiled. “I believe we can do it together”she said raising her hand. I looked at it confused on why she was raising it. She took my hand up and gave me a high five smiling.
I smiled too staring at her. She stopped smiling and was staring at me with and unknown expression. “Why? Is there a problem again?”I asked but she shook her head looking down. There she goes again. Avoiding eyes contact with me. “Why? Am I looking that scary even when I smile?”I asked.
“Scary?”she asked looking at me. “Hell no!. Your smile are so perfect. I mean it makes my heart stop that I think I might collap-se. You’re so amazingly handsome Dave”she said and I almost blus-h. People tell me that a lot so I’m not surprise to hear it from her too. “Really?”I smiled looking at her.
She was quiet after saying that and I guess she was embarras-sed.
“Oh…Sorry…I think I should go now. Goodnight”she said and turned back not looking at me. I stared at her in confusion until she was out. I smiled again and sat on the couch. “How cute”i said. Oh that means she actually told me to turn back while she talk because she doesn’t want to meet eyes with me?”I thought to myself and smiled shaking my head.
What do u think???
*?WE FINALLY MET?*
Episode 10.
**** Annabel’s POV *******
I got into my room and threw myself ha-rd on the sofa in embarras-sment. “Why did I end up saying that? No. I shouldn’t have”I said kicking my feet rou-ghly.
After a while, I stopped and stayed calm. I looked up at the wallpaper before me and covered my face again. Looks like he’s smiling at me for real. ”Don’t look at me like that. I also know I’m a fool” I said. A mas-sage notification came on my phone and I jumped to check it.
“Goodnight” a message from Dave.
“What? He texted good night to me? Why?”I asked myself looking at my phone. Then the image form in my head. “Goodnight”he said smiling brightly at me. I shook my head to snap out of it. “I must be crazy.” I said hitting my head. I fell back to the bed staring at the message with my phone close to my face.
:
Two days later, I went out to get some foodstuffs. This time, I paid more attention to my purse in case someone remove it again like the other time.
I was heading in when a guy bumped into me. “I’m sorry”he said and was leaving. I was going inside too but then remembered how it happened the other time. I checked myself and my wallet was gone. I quickly turn back and saw the guy moving so fast. He looked back too and our eyes met. I frowned my face know he took my purse. Immediately he saw this, he started running. I tied my hair back in ponytail and started running after him. I chased after him for like 3minutes without catching up with him. “Stop right now!. If I catch you, you’re dead”I screamed still running after him. When I almost got him, someone put their leg on the road and he missed a step. he flew up then landed on the floor. He was Gr0-ning in pain trying to get up. I looked at the person that helped me but he was having a mask on. I quickly jumped on the thief when he wanted to run again. I twisted his arm and place it on his back sitting on him. He screamed in pain hitting his palm on the floor. I removed my purse from his pocket and kept it. I then removed my shoe and started hitting his head. “You this jobless thing. You’re dead today.”I said hitting his head ha-rd. Soon I heard the siren and looked up. The police are here. I got up and took him up not releasing him. I wanted to hit him with my shoe again but someone held my hand from behind. He removed the mask and I was shocked to see him. “You can take him”he said to the cops and they took the thief in after putting handcuff on him.
“What are you doing here?”I asked staring at Dave who was still holding me. He looked down at my leg and I felt embarras-sed. “Are you not going to put on your shoe?”he asked. I dropped it and quickly put it on. I then got up and faced him again.
“I was surprise to see you here. Did you call the police?”I asked and he nodded his head. “I can’t watch a girl kill someone right in front of me”he said and I got embarras-sed. “Why are you here anyway?”I asked. “I was actually waiting here for a friend”he said. “Oh. I came to get some foodstuffs at a sto-re down there”I said.
“You’re stronger than I think”he said and I smiled shyly.
You think I would act that way if I knew he was the guy standing there since? How embarras-sing. I thought to myself. “Bye. See you later”he said with a smile and his de-ep dimples formed on both cheeks. “Bye”I said and was leaving to go back to the sto-re which was not far from there.
A guy came around and they both went into the car. I was thinking all sort of things on my way back. Did I overreact? Would he think I’m a mean girl or would he think I’m a gangster? I shouldn’t have act up earlier”I thought to myself feeling bad.
I was sitting in the living with Rachael watching Harry Potter together because she has been disturbing to watch the movie again. This is making it the 5th times we are watching the movie. I wonder if she doesn’t get tired of it.
I wasn’t really concentrating because I was surfing the internet.
“I think something is strange with you these days”Rachael said. “What’s that?”I asked not looking at her. “You don’t mention anything about Dave like you used to before. Are you over him already?”she asked and I raised up my head. “Uh… Uhm…that’s true. It’s not that I don’t talk about him again. It’s just that I think I nee-d to give it some rest or what do you think?”I said smiling nervously. “Wow. Unbelievable!”she said in surprise and I smiled nodding my head. I can’t tell her anything yet. But she’s going to act up once she find out. I just hope she won’t get mad too much.
My phone started ringing and I took it thinking it’s Dave but it was an unknown number. I answered it and placed it to my ear. “Hello miss Anna”a familiar voice said. “Hello”I said.
“I called just to tell you Mr matins is really sick and he was admitted today. I think I should tell you because you’re his daughter”Mr Raymond said on phone. “My dad?. What’s wrong? What happened? Hope he’s fine?”I asked getting off the couch. Rachael got up too and was staring at me confused. “Ok. I’ll be there right now.”I said and cut off the call. “What’s wrong? Is he ok?”rachael asked. “I don’t know too. I think I nee-d to get home right now”I said. “But it’s late”she said checking the time. I looked at my wristwatch and saw it almost 9pm. “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine”I said and went inside to change. A call came in again and I checked it and it was madam Lisa. I don’t want to pick it at first but took it to hear what she have to say.
“Hello”she said and I replied.
“Mr Raymond told me he called and told you about your dad’s health.”she said. “Yes. He did”I replied.
“Don’t worry about coming home. I’ll take good care of him ok?. Don’t bother to show up. Just be as you used to up till this moment don’t ever think of coming home”she said.
There she goes again, threatening me. The same way she did until I left home for her and her useless daughter.
“Why would you tell me that? He is my father too. It’s my right to look after him”I said confidently.
“Oh. You talk back now? You’ve grown a lot I guess. So it’s now you know he’s your responsibility too? When you left home, you didn’t think of that?”she asked harshly.
“What’s your business with how I live my life? You can’t tell me whether I’m to visit my dad or not. It’s not your right to say that. Just mind your business and leave me alone ok?”I said and cut off the call then took my car key and headed out.
What do u think will happen to madam Lisa and her daughter when Anna gets home??
