Mars' POV

I took a slight breath in breath out as I peeped through the window.

Stranger.

Okay calm down stupid girl. Maybe they've changed the usual pizza man or mail delivery guy. Jeeeeez why am I so naive.

"Hi Mars. "

Whoa! Oky-dowkie. And the stranger knows my name. Like what the heck... I ain't famous for as far as am wide concerned.

"Uum hi... You're? How can I help you?"

"Am Andre. Is Cumber around? "

I don't know any Andre in Cumber's life. Not that she mentioned one before.

"Andre who? Who is she to you?"

I know this may sound so weird rude but really maybe he's an assassin or terrorist or CID for pointing out loud. I don't like strangers.

"Hehe okay slow down. Am her big brother from another mother that is. I see she hasn't mentioned about me. I understand. "

Now this makes some sense.

"Ooh okay. No she had left some hours ago but guess she's on her way back. Please come in."

"No it's okay. I'll wait for her here. No need to come in. "

Now this dude is so off his manners. I don't easily offer one a welcome and he rejects. How dare him. Who does he think he is.

"Okay. Cool. "
I put that devilish smile as I entered back in the house.

Lance's POV

"Dude you've seemed lost in your who-God-knows-which-world since that night at the bar. What's up? "

"Just work calculations. Nothing of importance. "

"Man you can talk to me about it. Is it about the crazy lady we met at the bar? "

Lyre and Vold have been so dear friends to me. How could I had lived happy-ever-after in campus without them. Now here is Vold so concerned about me.

I've been thinking about that lady I offered a drink and she courageously rejected without hesitation. Never has any lady trashed my 'let me buy you a drink' move before. Came to me as a surprise but despite the fact I want to revenge it back for no one turns down on me, there's a little part in me that craves to know who she really is.

It's said a problem talked about is half solved. I'm man enough to handle my thoughts but a little suggestion on it from a dear friend won't hurt.

"I need to know who that lady is. She sure caught my attention. Very rare dude."

"I knew it. It was all concerned about her. Dude that was just a night at the bar like where the heck will you start looking for her. Come on. There are a lot of ladies more adorable than her. "

"I know bro. Will find her somehow. "

"Okay I will help you. How about we go the same bar this weekend? Maybe she'll be there."

"Thanks man. That's so dumb-genius of you. You're such a supergirl."

Well he deserves such a compliment to reduce the tension suit he wore today at work. So never his type.

"Mind your language beautiful. You might loose a tooth now for God's sake."

To be honest i felt a slight relief from our brief chitchat with Vold.
Later noon Lyre joined us at our usual lunch restaurant.
