MAEVE
Maeve got a text message from Alba, Theo's sister.
(Theo Sister 1: When you are done with work can we talk?)
(Maeve: Sure)
At evening, she went to the cafe near her office where Alba and she decided to meet. Alba had already ordered coffees for both of us
Maeve: What happened that you came to meet me suddenly?
Alba: It's about marriage. The parents should meet once. Will your mom be able to meet?
Maeve: Marriage?
Alba: Yeah.. Didn't you say you want a small wedding? But we have to invite a lot of people.. It doesn't look good if there are lot of people from our side and very less from yours.
Maeve: I am sorry Alba... But what are you talking about?
Alba: Theo came home yesterday. He said you guys will get married.
Maeve: Yeah but what about that?
Alba: So Theo is thinking it all by himself? But then are you going to get married? I'll speak honestly..
Maeve knew when someone said I'll speak honestly, they mean I'll speak to hurt you. She got prepared and nodded her head.
Alba: If you do not intend to get married, let Theo go. it's not that we don't know about your situation. And to be honest you are in no financial position to get married. Your brother is in college and mom is sick. You are the only who earns in your family. Don't be upset listening to this. If you get married without a plan, the families too will get affected by this. You do know that I am saying all of this because I am concerned for you?
Maeve: Yeah I know. But Alba.. No matter how hard you try and sugarcoat it, what's hurtful remains hurtful. My pride... is hurt now. So I'll leave.
Maeve left the cafe soon. Love is never easy. Many problems start after you have found your 'the one'.
KIERA
I entered Caleb's building and the elevator door was about to close.
Kiera: Excuse me can you hold that??
The girl inside did so.
Kiera: Thank you so much..
I entered the elevator and felt like I have seen that face somewhere. I looked at the elevator buttons to press fifteen but it had already been pressed. I looked at her trying to remember the face. What's up with me these days?? Can't remember faces at all. She was gorgeous. Even that would be an understatement. She had a body I'd take life for. Even though she was tall, she had worn black boots making her even taller. A short black dress, black sunglasses and a crescent moon shaped brown bag. Wish I had fashion taste like her.
The girl: Even though you don't want to look.. your eyes keep turning don't they. My beauty does that to people.
Kiera: Pardon?
The girl: It's fine. I am used to people looking at me. I am great right?
Is this Caleb's twin?
When we reached fifteenth floor she got out first. I was walking slowly as my heel was acting weird. Didn't wanna trip in front of Miss Princess. To my shock, she went to Caleb's door and ringed the bell. When Caleb opened the door it was almost like they were the same height.. Could that be his cousin? She jumped on him, hugging and kissing him on the cheek. Definitely not his cousin!!
The girl: I missed you!!!
Caleb: It's been a long time. Come in..
What the fuck? What the actual fuck??? Who was she?? Should I go?? But I don't wanna go anymore!! But what are they doing inside?? I knew Caleb couldn't be trusted!! But what if he did nothing?? I was internally screaming not knowing whether to ring the bell anymore or not. I turned around and there was kid staring at me.
Kiera: Do you wanna say something?
Kid: What are you doing in-front of someone else's house?
Kiera: I too am thinking that kid.
Kid: Aunty are you a weird person?
Kiera: I am no weir-- Wait!! Did you call me aunty?? I am not weird and definitely not an aunty.
Kid: Oh I see..
The kid opened the door to his apartment opposite Caleb's one.
Kid: Mom!! There's a weird aunty outside.
Kiera: HEY!! I just saidd I am not a weird aunty!!
The kid closed the door. Getting slammed by a kid too now. Progress in life is great.
Caleb: Kiera? I heard your voice and thought I was hearing things. You are real.
The girl: Someone came?
The girl came out her and arm around Caleb.
Caleb: Hey hey.. My girlfriend's pretty strong. She'll fight you..
The girl: Girlfriend?? WHAT!
Yeah. Was it hard to believe? Do I not look like Caleb's girlfriend?
The girl: Sorry for the outburst.. I didn't know he had a girlfriend.
Kiera: Oh.. It's fine. It's alright.
It's not alright!! I want to throw you outta here.. you can't be so touchy with my boyfriend. Bitch even I am not like that!
Kiera: Who is she?
I looked at Caleb.
The girl: I am Blake.
YESSS. That's right. Blake Cox. She had won ANTMC season 13. That's where I know her from.
Blake: Instead of standing there, come in.
Kiera: Oh no. No. Caleb you have a guest. Attend her. I'll come some other time. I anyways have some work. Goodbye Blake. Good bye Caleb.
I said with some anger probably.
Caleb: I'll call you.
Kiera: Yeah.
Blake: Wait Kiera.. Can I have your number?
Caleb: Why do you need it?
Blake: I don't have any friends around Boston except for him..
I typed my number in her phone and gave it to her.
Kiera: If you are bored, call me.
WTF Did I just say? Bored? Call me? Where are my brains at!!!
Blake: Sure.
