"So tell me, how're you guys doing, especially you and Mr cute eyes and everything." Tiffany winks at me making a groan escape out of my throat.

I decided to have a facetime with my two best friends and I was basically going to thank them but well, you all know how Tiffany will come up with one whole ass of a topic from her well reserved and so working medulla.

I roll my eyes automatically since that's one field am perfect at. "Good." I sigh hugging my white teddy bear tightly sniffing it at the same time.

I know am about to drop a big bomb. And my heart has not been resting well since I met that Odessa. Wait, did my bear just smell of something I know, no someone I know!
God why does it smell Ballice? Wow that's a good shock if I must admit. I'll ask about that later.

"Why do you look... Uhmmm... Surprised? Perplexed?" Way to go Cam. You're so good at observing.

" It just dawned on me that it's Christmas Eve today and Lodzin and Na'Zila are not around. It's just Hesnah, dad and I." I pout hugging my teddy bear more tighter.

I know I just made that up as an excuse to escape sinful questions from those two FBI agents but I know... It's just me and dad! It just doesn't sit well on me. A full family sounds way better during Christmas times.

"Aaaawww!" They both mewl in unison their faces falling.

"You know I can pay you a visit and we can make a mythical day out of Christmas. Just give me the go signal Tee baby bum. Remember Hudson is not that far from our province. It's just a two and half hour drive." Knowing camille, she'll unmistakably do that. But I just don't want to be selfish. Christmas brings families together so she should just spend time with their family.

I smile at her regardless. Before I respond, our smart mouth a.k.a miss diva, Tiffany herself clears her throat and begins,

"Tee sweeriee, you know very well that we love you, right?" Jeezz why do I feel that I'm going to get it from ever miss itchy mouth? but nevertheless I nod. "And having Christmas with just your dad and Hesnah who I miss badly is not something bad, right?" I nod again. " And you can call Ballice over too now that he's just alone, right?" Why am I feeling that I'm high strung? Like I'm being in a jittery ride? But I nod again watching her intently. "I know something is not okay Tee, just tell us what it is. We're not your enemies, we're your fucking friends for crying out loud!"

She finally exhales a large cloud of air making my laptop speaker hiss in a not so pleasing sound. And I close my eyes taking in a sharp intake of air opening them again after.

"Am okay, like really." Batting my eyelashes, I smile. Well I try to pull up something that looks like a smile.

"You're not okay Tee." Cam observes shaking her head.

"I'm leaving hudson the day after tomorrow." I blab.

"What? Okay chill." Tif gasps, obviously shocked by the news. I'm also shocked that I've just disclosed that pitch of info. "For? Why?"

Cam nods agreeing with Tif's queries. So they really want to know? Okay. I should spill the beans.

"We'll be leaving for Brooklyn with auntie Hesnah. But before that, we'll all pass through granny partricia including dad." I explain hoping they'll understand.

" Wow." They breath out a relief.

"You'll be back right?" Cam asks.

"Uhmm I'm not sure. Okay not any soon I think. There's this rom/com, well it's a melodrama that is about to start by 5th January, Hesnah is the leading role and she got me a role to play. I know this is so soon but I want to try my luck in Brooklyn." I say almost enthusiastically but just a thought of not being able to see Ballice all the entire time pulls a string at my heart.
