SAVE ME

Chapter 38

Morgan Smith

"I will like to make a toast," Ann said when she stood to her feet with the help of Elvis putting the chair out for her. He is such a sweet guy and I love that she is with him because I am so sure that he will take good care of her which he is actually doing.

Last week was celebration galore for us all as we hosted dinner parties, lunch hangouts, brunch get-togethers, and all those, and all I could say is that the past week has been a joyous one for every one of us which I pray it stays as such and I am so grateful to GOD for everything.

We even held a thanksgiving service in church to celebrate our success or like Ann would say 'To celebrate the success brought to us all through our hard work and consistency' and I could help but agree with her.

Everyone was seated in our dining room with different food displayed around the table awaiting us to devour.

George and Amelia were sitting beside each other as they looked at Ann and I could see the hand George placed on Amelia's hand which she didn't brush off like she always does and I am guessing that they are sorting things out with each other. That's good if that's the case.

Mr. Roberto was sitting at the head of the table with Brianna and her boyfriend Felix by his right side while Richard sat by his left side, right next to me and Ricardo.

Elvis and Ann were sitting opposite George and Amelia.

"GOD is great," Ann said and we all agreed with a cheer.

"GOD has been so good to us all, these past days were amazing... every day is amazing but you know, with the staff party we hosted" she gestured to Mr. Roberto who lofts his glass to her with a smile and then she looks at me, Ricardo, Amelia, and George

"And these wonderful recent college graduates, everything went smooth and it was all joy for us all... I am happy and grateful" she grinned. We all had smiles on our faces.

It was so great how things could turn around to be so great and how awesome GOD proved to be all the time.

I think I should talk to Him more now... He is good all the time and now I could be able to have the courage to embrace who I am now and what he made me b... greater and bigger than any problems. He is good and I am glad that I can tell of that.

"It has been an awesome journey" she continued and we cheered.

Then her gaze settled on me, I offered her a smile she gladly returned with teary eyes.

"I remember the day I met my amazing friend, companion, sister, daughter, and bestie... I bless GOD every single day for letting me come across you and for giving you an open heart to accept change and hope" she chuckled, and I could feel the tears pricking my eyes.

I am more grateful that she took me in and cared for me.

She spoke some really emotional things and I couldn't help but let the tears flow freely. Ricardo gave my back gentle pats, she walked over to where I sat so I stood up and we share a hug.

"You are the best that ever happened to me and I am glad that GOD gave you to me" she whispered in my ear, I shook my head as I cleaned my face.

"I am the one who is more grateful to GOD for letting me have someone like you in my life, thank you Ann" I whispered back then we leaned away from the hug.

We sat back in our respective seats and took turns to give thanks to GOD for his faithfulness, then we made a toast to our achievements and future endeavors.

The night went on with cheerful noise and great tidings accompanied by awesome food and great entertainment. Soon, everyone retired for the night. First, Mr. Roberto, Brianna, and Felix left then some minutes later, Ricardo, Richard, and George followed saying that they would stay at Ricardo's place.
