The New Arrival

Chapter Three

Three weeks later...

Three weeks had passed,  Kathy had not heard anything from Richard, and she figured that Richard had been busy with his projects. And that very same week, Samantha, Kathy's best friend, had called Kathy, informing that she is paying Kathy a visit, alongside with her new fiance', Jonathan.   Those few days passed, Samantha and Jonathan arrived, and the trio had a great time together, talking about many different things. One day, Kathy decided to hold a bonfire in the backyard, and the sat down and talked.

"How is your job going, Kathy?" asked Samantha. "It's going great, Sam! I've been working with this actor named Richard, we also became good friends too! Right now he's away on a project!" said Kathy. "How are you and Chris going?" asked Jonathan. "I broke up with him. I'm tired of the abuse and being hurt. I'm just tired of Chris mistreating me!" said Kathy. "Oh good! I'm so glad you've finally broke it off with him, Kat!! It's about time you did! You deserve better!" said Samantha. "Are you ever considering of dating again?" asked Jonathan.

Kathy sighed. "No, I'm way too busy for such things, and if I ever decided to date again, it would be.." begins Kathy, and she quickly stopped, as she realized what she was about to say. She was about to say Richard's name. What in the hell am I doing? I'm about to say Richard! I only wanted to stay friends with Richard, and nothing more!  thought Kathy. "Aw! You're about to say Richard, are you? You have a crush on Richard, Kat!" teased Samantha. "No, I do not have a crush on Richard, Samantha! So hush!" said Kathy, quickly.

"Admit it, Kat! You find him attractive, do you?" said Samantha. Jonathan rolled his eyes. "How in the hell did I get caught up in this girly conversation?" griped the young man.  "Yes, I find Richard attractive, very attractive, but doesn't mean that I'm madly in love with him!" said Kathy.  But it felt like Kathy's heart told her otherwise, especially after that one night she heard Richard sing and play the piano the first time.  She had never forgotten that night.  My mind tells me no, but my heart tells me different! Oh shit, I have fallen for Richard!!  thought Kathy.  

"From what your Aunt told me, you and Richard had been spending a lot of time together before he left on his business trip!" said Samantha. "That figures! That's my Aunt for you, telegraph, telegram, Tell a Aunt Linda!" said Kathy, rolling her eyes. "Just tell us, Kat! Have you spending that much time with him?" asked Samantha. "Yes! Can't a person be just friends, while spending that much time together?" said Kathy, sharply. "Kathy, lighten up will you? You don't have to get your undies in a bunch!" said Jonathan.  

Meanwhile,  Downtown,  Chris had been sitting in his jail cell, waiting for his close friend, Marissa, to bail him out.  He already had plans of what he is going to do once he is out of the jail.  He wanting to seek after Kathy, and get revenge on her. He is most certainly not done with Kathy just yet.  In Chris eyes, Kathy belonged to him, and only him.  And he will make sure of that, even if he had to kill her to do so.  Shortly, Marissa arrives to bail him out.

Once that was done,  Chris meets Marissa outside near he car. "So what are you going to do now, Chris?" asked Marissa. "I'm going to pay Kathy a visit.  As for you, Marissa, I got a job for you!" said Chris.  "And what do you want me to do?" asked Marissa. "Track down, Kathy's close friend, Richard. Do whatever you can to keep Richard away from Kathy.  Even if you try to go out with him, and tell him lies about Kathy! I will give you this amount of money, if you do this for me!" said Chris. 

Shortly, Chris showed Marissa, a large wad of bills.  It was over one hundred thousand American dollars in his hand.  Marissa's eyes widened in shock and surprise, when she seen the money. "Of course, I will do this for you, Chris!" said Marissa. After that, Marissa parted ways with Chris.  As for Chris, Chris now leaves the Police Station, and he heads to Kathy's house.  Meanwhile, at the house, Richard had finally contacted Kathy via email, and to her surprise, he made his confession to her over email.
