Sapphire couldn't stop herself from screaming until she hear her younger brothers laughing loudly with her reaction.
She gaze at the woman infront of her who's holding a cracker, probably the one that she hear exploded. The woman is wearing a white lace tank top, a blue denim shorts exposing her long and toned legs, and for finishing touched a red flats. Her long chesnut brown hair that reaches her waist is in big curls that looks like styled by a professional hair dresser, with a creamy complexion and mesmirizing hazel brown eyes.
The scared feeling that she has awhile ago was replaced by surprise and excitement.
"Suprise! Missed me Baby Fire?" the woman smiled at her showing her pearly white teeth.
"Oh my God! Oh my God!" she scream again and run to that woman and hug her so tight. "Chescy!!!! Is it really you? Oh my God! I missed you!" she can't contain her excitement and happiness.
"Yes it's me! I know how much you missed me but there's no need to kill me." she said smirking.
She pull away and smile at her.
"Oops! Sorry I'm just so excited to see my great cousin again."
Great cousin, thats how she looked at her. She's Katrina Franchesca Fierce or Chesca, and what made her great for Sapphire? Well, its because at the age of twenty she started selling clothes and cosmetics through online and at the age of twenty five she is now a successful businesswoman. She is the owner of a well-known clothing and cosmetic company in New York the Belleza Fashion Inc. She also owned the Horizon, a hotel and resort in California. And it is all because of her hard work and great determination.
"Don't worry it isn't obvious!" she chuckled.
"Anyway, what brought you here? I mean, I know you're busy managing Belleza and Horizon." she asked.
"Aw! Am I not entitled for a vacation? And besides, I'm the boss." and she wink at her.
"Talking about advantage!" she shook her head.
Chesca answered her with Hahaha..
"Actually, I'm staying in California until next week. We will be launching the new collections of Belleza and the opening of new branch in LA. And of course to visit my family." Chesca explained.
"Wow! That's great!"
"Lets have dinner tomorrow with Nicks and Kaila, my treat!" Chesca said excitedly. "I miss that two minions too! Call them for me."
Sapphire choked of she just heard. She drink her glass of lemonade straightly. Chesca saw her reaction and secretly grin.
"How am I going to ask them? I can't tell Chesca that we are not in good terms, Im sure she will get angry with me." she sadly thought. "Think Sapphire, think harder!"
◆◇◆◇
That night Sapphire decided to call Kaila and Nicholo. She really hate herself for acting so childish lately. If only she didn't ignore them then maybe she wouldn't have a problem calling them right now.
In just one ring Nicholo answered.
"S-Sapp?" sounding surprised.
"U--Uhh! Nicks?? I--- Uh! C-Chesca is h-here." she start stammering for words.
"Really??" Nicholo asked excitedly.
"Yah! Actually she's wondering if... you know, we could invite you for dinner.. yeah! dinner tomorrow? " she hesitantly asked.
"Let me think about it." Nicholo answered.
"Nicks? I know I've been acting a total headcase lately, and I wanna apologize for that. I know I'm wrong, I'm sorry." she almost whisper the last word.
