Destined Hearts

Chapter Nineteen

"Being with friends make you happy, then be happy do not let anyone take that away from you, always follow your heart but never forget to listen to your head either both are right even though they are always in conflict, find the common ground"

Three days after spending another day with Matthew, Charmaine now kept asking when were they going to see him and when they were going out again, try as Samantha might she could still not dissuade her daughter.

That night however Samantha sat under the gazebo with her black strong coffee as she looked up at the sky, her piece of neighborhood that was noisy during the day with all the car rushing by was much quieter at night that she had a chance to think for herself.

"Company of one or can I join"

Samantha looked up and smiled as Vicky approached her with her own mug of coffee and a lit cigarette between her fingers as she sat down next to her.

"A rand for your thoughts"

Samantha giggled, in all the world the saying was a penny but here Vicky had changed it and used their own currency once done she sighed.

Samantha "Do you think it is possible for someone to change so much?"

"Yes, it depends on who they are changing for." Vicky took a sip of her coffee as she eyed Samantha "take you for instance, always the push over someone to always give the other cheek and look how you have changed"

"I do not know what you mean!" Samantha huffed before sighing "You are right, Vicky I never dreamed of working as much as I do for the company, I never dreamed that I would allow you to find someone I am paying for to edit my recording and posting them on the pages you created or that my ramblings was interesting"

Vicky "and what of the court battle Samantha? Ever thought you would stand up to that woman and those men?"

"I do not believe it is over" Samantha said as her gaze sharpened "but no matter what for them I will fight"

"What of yourself?" Samantha looked confused at Vicky's question but then she continued "You have a man who had come here to win you back, conformed to the normal which is South Africa for you, taking it slow to win back not only your affection but also your trust. Samantha, Matthew is here for you"

Samantha lowered her gaze to look at her coffee, what Vicky had said was true, her Matthew had come here for her, to win her back after saying that she no longer saw them together as they were not speaking as they had, the changes she could handle if they were not so big in her eyes, it was like this was not the Matthew she had gotten use to but rather the Oni that she had met and this was a conflict as she wanted to believe but also could not.

"It is not that easy" she finally said

Vicky took this as a need to change the subject and she took it as she reached out and smacked her sister lightly on the arm.

"So, you are playing tonight, what game?"

Samantha looked at Vicky and smiled, she had not played in a while but after Leo reached out to her, she had said she would be joining the server only to find out he had made another server, a new one, one that did not have such people in it, sure there was the same betrayal, alliances, battles and victories and it opened tonight and for once she was excited to be back in that world.

"Playing with Leo, he has made a new server, and it is opening tonight"

Vicky played with her cup for a bit before asking "if it is a new server then why not live stream it? you have your avatar and everything is set up as well, your editor and I will be there as your moderators" Vicky wanted her sister to start streaming, she was good at it, her talks to herself while playing and recording had gone well that Samantha had even started answering questions "what have you got to lose?"
