Hope which works

Chapter 10

The following day wasn't a bash as Sunday's are promised to be. After I left Colette and Luke alone in the room, all I can think of where Felix has gone. My mind has not find solemn yet after he furiously left me in dismayed. I was sitting in the dining area draping my pasta New Orleans around the fork when abruptly my adjacent table slides out and Colette sat next to me.

Her puffy eyes were all gone and her eyes had too much mascara. Eye shadow black, nail paint black even her brown eyes were looking black. Good her lips were still baby pink. Wait she has nose ring and also her chin was pierced. I swear it was not 3 hours ago, what has she done to herself. Wretched. She was wearing a beanie hat and a striped jacket with a black tank top. Whoa way too deep.

"Worshiping me darling" said Colette with a smirk.

"Nice Perfume, must you marinate in it" spewed me. Hah nice comeback Ele.

Her eyebrows twitched in a resentful way. Ouch wounded.

"Listen bunny, I only came here because big... I mean Luciano goaded me again and again to express my gratitude for you being there when I needed someone the most oh an also for texting him." She said in a hurry like it was very onerous task for her.

I nodded with a smile and said "I know how you feel Colette but don't worry your biggie is with you and he loves you profoundly. Hope you bury the hatchet and see what's inside his eyes"

She listened prudently and I could see the sting in her eyes for a moment but then it was gone keenly. Then she sneered and said "Whatever hussy"

I rolled my eyes and hoped that she was feigning her gloomy attitude so that she can show the world that she is resilient. As she left Luke and Blossom perched on a chair like a bird, together they heaved a sigh a relief. I got a feeling like they were encumbered by someone; I gave both of them a query glare.

"What! Making Colette bow down is arduous task" uttered Blossom suddenly

Luke and I met our eyes than Blossom saw us both and we all guffawed together.

"People here are... not normal" I said in middle of our glee. And we all laughed harder till our stomach hurts.

When we were balanced Luke said "speaking of normal, where is Felix? Has anyone seen him? He's nowhere in his apartment and his phone is unreachable"

Oh no is he okay I mean LORD ALMIGHTY he speeded his Jaguar into the wind , Oh no please no he should not have met with an accident or be involved in anything he should not please. You have already taken so many folk I know not him, I haven't even thanked him or asked him about his nightmare. Is he okay, my emotions were an amalgam of chaotic bad feeling, melancholy with whatever is happening with the people around me, animosity towards whomsoever is doing this either god or fate or my misfortune that's involving other too or even worse my story is being written by senseless malicious woman who don't have her own world to operate.

I didn't even acknowledge that a tear rolled down my eyes till Blossom squeaked "Ele, honey why are you bewailing. Is everything okay? Are you feeling low?"

"No, I mean Luke where is Felix?" I asked

"Hey don't worry about him Ele, he might have just went to his home in New Hampshire it's his routine to dissipate for a week and then be back normal" Luciano said by comforting me.

"NORMAL!!!" High pitched Blossom and we all chuckled a little.
