Hello there people!! Long time no see! Thank you for supporting this book so far and I really hope you'll enjoy the upcoming chapters! I did.

This chapter is dedicated to the lovely ShontelleiyaSherree, for all the support and the help. I love you cupcake!!♥♥

After the little incident she had with Noah Alina decided that the best way to calm her nerves was to go out. So she took Debra for her morning walk.

Usually at a time like this she would call Stella for help and her friend would immediately come over at her place or join her on her walk. But of course Stella was in Africa.

Alina sighed to get rid of this gloomy feeling that threatened to appear inside her. And then she made her way to the grocery shop. Maggie was the only person she could think of that could ease her mind a little.

So, once she reached the shop about ten minutes later, she entered with a smile on her face walking carefully towards Maggie's counter, with her stick stretched out in front of her.
She had tied Debra outside along with some snacks to keep her occupied.

"Alina honey!" She heard Maggie's voice almost immediately. She turned and followed the sound until she was standing right in front of the old lady.

"Hello Maggie." She said and then felt two arms engulfing her into a bear hug.

"Oh dear! Where have you been?! We've missed you down here!"

Alina smiled and hugged her back.

"Oh you know, here and there doing the usual."

Maggie drew back from her hug and observed Alina's face for a little while before speaking.

"Something happened, am I right?" She said and Alina laughed shaking her head.

"Nothing happened Maggie. At least not something that hasn't happened before."

Maggie didn't say anything for a while.

"It's him isn't it?" she said eventually.

Alina laughed and shook her head.

"It's nothing." she said. "I promise."

Maggie looked at her with suspicion .

"If you say so." she then let go of her and went behind her counter again. "So what are you doing here? You don't have work?"

"No. My boss is giving me an one month leave so she can visit her grandchildren."

"Really now. Well that's not so bad is it?"

Alina smiled.

"Well, you could say that. But I'm not really feeling it."

"Is it because of Noah?" Maggie asked in a playful tone that made Alina chuckle.

"Mostly yes. But I'll get through it somehow."

"And where is this charming boy anyway? He always seems to be.... gone from what you've told me."

Alina made a face at Maggie's choice of words.

"You're being too nice on him." she said. Maggie laughed.

"Either way I would really like to meet him."

"No you don't. Your mind is just playing tricks on you."

"I bet you twenty bucks that he is good looking." Maggie said with a mischievous smile.

"Well due to the fact that I'm blind, so I cant actually judge for myself, I'm gonna have to decline your offer." Alina answered. "But there must be a reason why he's got a parade of barbies drooling all over him."
