Strangers Attached

Chapter 4

Kiara

"Tamara it's not very pleasant to poke a stupid twig in someone's ears and especially if that someone is sleeping so would you please stop troubling her."

"No, I can do whatever I want to, she is my best friend."

I could hear Noah and Tam rattling about something. I slowly opened my eyes and caught them sitting next to me while arguing about something as usual.

"GUYS STOP! It's too early for you'll to start fighting and too when your best friend is sleeping so peacefully", I yanked them both.

"Morning Kia", Noah smiled at me.

"Good morning Kay and yeah to update you it's not early in the morning", Tam said.

"What is the time?"

"11 o'clock", Noah said while glancing at his watch.

"What?! How did I end up sleeping for so long", I got up in surprise to myself.

"Babe, it's okay we are on a vacation. Forget that and get ready we all are going for fishing at the bank", Tam chided and Noah nodded in agreement.

*****

"Guys Jub and I have got the fishing equipment ready so let's get started", Isabella clapped her hands.

I glanced at Jub to see her and she looked better than yesterday. I was happy that at least she is a bit relieved now.

We all sat at the bank with our fishing rods. It had been about an hour or so and we had managed to catch barely a few fishes all put together. Everyone seemed to get bored. Suddenly, I felt a push of two large hands on my back and before I could react I was in the lake.

"I thought we all were bored", Noah stated with his hands in the air.

"Noah Hastings you will have to pay for this!" I shot in attack towards Noah who was pushed by Aiden into the lake. I smiled at Aiden for the help and smirked at Noah who was now in the lake with me.

Others clucked and joined us in the lake one after the other. We splashed water and started drowning each other. We might be looking very childish but sometimes it's fun to become a child all over again.

"Noah for the first time I am saying this, not even believing my own tongue, that you have done one good job in your entire birth", Tam stated.

We all chuckled and walked back to our tents to dry ourselves as we were all freezing now. It was time for us to head back home as we all had to go to work tomorrow.

On our way back we all were a lot more silent, a comfortable one except for some time that we spoke about some normal random things. Tomorrow onward I was going to finally go to office, my dad's office, the one I have always dreamt for.

*****

"Kiara, are you ready?"

"Yes dad, coming."

I was ready to go to the office in my formal white blouse, metallic grey skirt and black formal sandals while my hair were straighten. I wore minimal make up, grabbed my bag and left my room.

"Let's go. Bye mum, love you", I chided and we left.

"Morning Henry and Noah"

"Good morning darling", Henry answered me. "Morning Charlie and Jerry"

"Tom, are you coming to office too?" I asked him with a puzzled look.

"Nope, I was leaving for my office. See you later folks", Noah left and so did we.

*****

"Sweetheart this is your work room and Miss Darsy would assist you for all your work. She will also explain you everything", dad introduced me to Darcy.

Darcy was a fair woman who seemed to be in her late 40s, she had short brown hair and was dressed in her cream blouse and brown skirt. She was pretty. She had deep green eyes and was very friendly.

"Hello Ms. Pattinson, Good morning and welcome to Virtual", she formally greeted me with a hand shake.

"Good morning and please call me Kiara", as I shook my hand.

My day at the office was actually very nice; I had managed to know the most about the work with Darcy. It was lunch time and I decided to talk to dad about Jubilee.

"Dad, I need to talk to you about something important."

He nodded and asked me to continue.

"Dad, actually Jubliee has lost her job and her boss claims that she is inefficient which isn't true. I have known her and she is a very hardworking person. Her boss has remarked her bad in the redundancy letter too so she has very thin chances of getting a job despite the fact that she is talented. I really want to help her out dad."

My dad thought for a minute and then said, "Why don't you ask her to come to office and then let me check her resume, if she fits in our company might as well we recruit another gem."

"You will recruit her?! That's amazing dad. Thank you so much." I hugged my dad and smiled wide.

I called Jub at night after office and told her to come to the office tomorrow by 10 o'clock and then allowed the darkness to pull me.

Next day, Jub came on time and she got selected, dad told me that her work experience and knowledge about the work was very fine. Later, Jub told us that the office staff controversies priced her, the job, but now she had a job. I was so happy for her. That girl did not stop thanking me the whole day!

When I told Tam and Noah about the whole thing, Tam was too shocked at first but then happy that Jub got a job and Noah was proud of me that I had managed to pull Jub out of her difficult days.

*****

It has been two weeks since I started to work and I have totally been in love with it. I can now understand what Noah means when he says that work makes him a happy person, it actually does. I have been seeing Noah almost every day in the morning or evening, Aiden is a lot busier now so I haven't seen him since the camp, Jub sees me every day as we work in together; also has she been now a lot happier with her job and I met Isa and Tam once with Jub.

"Sweetie, we need to talk to you", my mom told me.

Again the same lines! TROUBLE ALERT KIA!

"Yes mom"

"It's the same thing that we were going to tell you when you came back from London." (Can see back at Chapter 1)

"Okay... ", I said unsure of what they are going to say.

My mom glanced at my dad and then when he nodded, mom took a deep breath and said, "Sweetie, I know you would be very surprised with this but you need to understand we are doing this for your benefit, for your safe future. We will give you all the time to make the right choice becau-"

"Mom stop! Please tell me what it is", I cut her.

"Kiara, we want you to get married."

**************

Hey fellas! :)

Cliff hanger, I know, but I had to. MARRIAGE? Well, why would that knock Kiara's doors? Or is she dreaming? Or are her parents joking? What do you'll think?

Hope you'll like this chapter.

Media has the picture of Tamara Jones.

You'll know what to do, just hit that little star and punch in your comments.

Until then, stay peachy! ;)
