Am sitting on the couch at the living room watching a documentary while sipping my coffee and my phone chimes getting my attention off the tv.Meet me at the coffee shop around the corner~ unknown.
The coffee shop is like two blocks down the street but my subconscious is screaming at me to not go.
For starters, I don't know who this is and it might be a trap considering everything that has been going on.
A part of me thinks it's the anonymous guy who has gone silent for a while but chances that it might be him are almost at a negative.
I decide to go since, it might be the guy from the cabin and he might have some news about Jim. I mean I have done what he wanted me to do.
I grab my coat from the stand at the door and I close the door behind me nobody is home, Barry left like a few hours ago and has not been back, nanny left to check on her sister who has been down with cancer. It's a little chilly outside and the wind is tousling my hair allover the place.
I tuck my hands inside the pockets of my coat and I walk down the street I walk into the coffee shop and I sit at my favorite place glancing at my phone hoping that whoever wanted me here is already here.
I stare at the time hugely displayed on the screen blankly, it's 10.44.
“you just missed Ella.” cassey startles me and I almost jump. She works here for like a year now and she knows what I like, she has been my friend for sometime and she has been invited to our small parties whenever we have birthdays and even small get togethers. We usually do them here.
“huh? ” I gasp turning to look at her.
“Ella and your boyfriend, what was his name again? ”
She must be talking about Bred, he is the only boyfriend of mine she has met.
“Bred.” I say more to myself and she nods.
What would have Bred and Ella been doing here?“yeah they must have been.. ”
“having a heated up convention. ” she finishes my sentence when she realizes I am having difficulty completing it.
I can't even know what they have been talking about. It must have been something serious.
“what do you mean by heated up? ” I ask and she lowers on the seat opposite me.
“it looked like they were arguing.” she almost whispers.
“hey, cassey. ” her boss calls and she jumps up. “get back to work.”
He is always grumpy and he doesn't like it when his workers get distracted by the customers.
“yeah, sorry.” she makes to leave before turning to me. “should I get you the usual? ”
“yeah.” I answer smiling blankly.
I make to draft a message to the person who texted me to come here and a shadow gets my eye.
Raising my eyes I meet the shiny grey ones, “of course it's you.” I think loudly.
“hello, pretty.” he smiles unbuttoning his coat before sitting.
“I hope you asked me here to tell me that my brother is okay now that I did what you wanted me to do. ”
“oow, straight to business I see.” he observes my serious face.
I sip the black coffee after cassey places it on the table, my eyes are on him and am wondering why does he have to look so cute.
“we keep our word,love.” he grins typing away on his phone. “Jim is home.”
“why should I trust that you are not lying to me.” my phone rings and I hit ignore button rolling my eyes when Bred's name comes popping up.
I so hate him right now, he has been toying with my feelings, he is the last person I wanna talk to right now.
“you okay?” he reaches for my hand when he sees my expression after ignoring his call.
Pulling my hand away from his, “yeah, am fine.” I don't need his pitty right now.
“you don't need to trust me,” he says “Jim is okay. I don't have a reason to lie to you.”
“well, I guess am done here.” I say standing up I need to check if Jim is really home and if he's okay.
I turn to leave and he doesn't stop me, disappointed I take a turn at the street and I start walking, a part of me really wanted him to stop me and insist to know if am okay, nobody has asked me that question for a long time now and I could use some attention.
A memory of me and bred being happy and in good terms flash in my head and I feel like I could relive it only one last time, am so mad at him and I really doubt that anything he says at this point is going to make me change my mind.
Arnold has been keeping his distance and I hope he keeps it that way, he is so distracting and I just want to just have a spicy time with him. I don't feel any emotional connection with him and am a little happy that I have finally figured out what I feel for bred and what I feel for Arnold.
At this point I honestly don't want a relationship, I don't think am in a position to commit to someone right now.
I have been hoping that Arnold doesn't show up or contact me yet, I need sometime to analyze everything that is going on in my family.I really hope my dad's body is found soon and we can give him a decent burial. I want whoever is responsible for this to be found and for them to pay for their actions.
And I want everything to go back to the way they were.Suddenly am yanked off the street by a strong person and I gasp when am pinned against a wall and he crashes his lips against mine.
It takes me a whole minute before I realized that the grey eyed guy was kissing me and I suddenly push him away, “what the hell!” I gasp taking in a deep breath.
“I was hoping my brother doesn't win your heart before I do.” his eyes are so dark with emotions.
“what?!” I snap. Everything is so confusing right now and I don't think I understand what just happened.
“I have been watching you ever since my brother started working at your home.”
That gets my attention, “Arnold is your brother!? ”
