WHERE THE STARS NEVER TWINKLED....

Chapter 9... Here comes the Sex God.

"Stacy open the door , Jem is here to meet you."

That's the first thing Stacy heard from her deep slumber. She opened her eyes slowly as if she's in a dream world and as soon as she fully opened her eyes her present and past came clearly in her mind as she rose up from her bed with a groan.

Jem had come means he wanted to talk about yesterday's incident which she doesn't want to. She had a warm water bath and wore her most casual dress . Then she sat down to settle her hair down from the mess to a descent bun. When she was done she reached out for the bottle of water by her bedside table when she saw a note kept. She picked that up and immediately a smile drew on her face .

Good night Stack ... Hope your problem gets solved . If you have any problem just call me up. Stephen.

She looked at herself in the mirror with the note still in her hand. She couldn't believe this is she standing in front of the mirror. That girl who is a patient of a mental disorder, an orphan, someone who is good for nothing is slowly changing. She remembers how much she enjoyed yesterday with Stephen just watching Star Wars and how they both ended up with a pillow fight. She even remembers having fallen asleep while listening to him rambling about school and stuffs. Is it not strange that she's changing faster than she realized?

She hurriedly opened her secret drawer which no one was supposed to touch, and kept the note there. She felt stupid enough to keep the note there but she thought it's something to be preserved. Not everyday people get to see this good side of Stephen.

After she was done , She went downstairs. On hearing  Stacy come down the stairs Jem stood up to greet her with a hug which she reciprocate back. With a gleaming smile on his face, he took her to the kitchen.

" What is the occasion for today's visit?" ,asked Stacy

" I'm leaving Boston tomorrow, so can we not celebrate to make it a memorable moment." , he replied coolly while working on the coffee machine.

Stacy looked at Jem as if she's hurt. She loves her best friend a lot . He came to meet her after so many years and now again he'll be leaving her again.

"Wait I can't believe it. You're seriously leaving?", she managed to say .

"Yes shortcake ."

In the next second Stacy embraced Jem into a tight hug. She could feel the tears running down her cheeks , but who cares , her best friend is leaving and that thought shatters her twenty miles apart (too much hyperbole isn't it? 😉).

"Hey. Hush . Stop crying .I've got good news for you to."

Stacy pulled herself out of the hug and looked at him with goofy eyes.

"Girl you get ready . I'll  take you out for shopping and then we can hang out in the park. "

Stacy nodded and then went up to change into something a bit fancy for the shopping outing. She put on a slight tinge of make up and then went down to Jem who was waiting in the living room. She bid Aunt Marge a good bye and reached out for Jem to find him scrutinizing her comply yet fancy outfits of a black jumper.

"What's bothering you Jemi Baby?" She asked with a pout on her face.

Jem shook his head and dragged her out to his car. They both entered the car when he turned to Stacy and said,

"Sta you look gorgeous."

"I always am." ,she replied with a wink

"Damn this red dress looks so good on you. Girl buy it. It'll make you stunning in the party."

'The party' that phrase was enough for her mood to get spoiled. She didn't forget what happened last night. It was still fresh in her memory.
