PRESENT DAY**
“Her voice was so faint then. I couldn’t hear the others but it started with the sound “Ah” Newton said to Samantha softly. He looked at Samantha, but she wasn’t paying attention anymore. She stared at him smiling.
“I finally found you” She whispered softly.
“What?” He asked trying to hear what she said.
“It’s nothing. So,–She cleared her throat dramatically.
…. The Tomboy. Have you met her ever since?” She asked
“I might have, who knows?. But I don’t know if she has changed. But I hope she CALLS me whenever she sees me–
“Newton”She called softly interrupting him. She had a wide smile on her face.
“What?” He answered
“Nothing” She chuckled
“Why did you call me?” He laughed
“…..Don’t you remember her face?” Samantha asked changing the subject at once.
“Just a bit. Why? Do you think you might know her?” He asked
“Nooo!… Oh Goodness, Where’s Blaze? He was here earlier. He should give me the keys to the–She paused when her eyes caught the bunch of the keys on the TV stand.
Blaze had dropped it there, when he came over.
“Oh. He dropped it here” Samantha said taking the keys from the stand.
“Give that to me. I’m gonna get it for you, By the way, Give me your phone?” He said taking the keys from her.
“Why?” She curiously asked
“You don’t have my contact. Instead, Here.. Save yours here” He said handling her his unlocked phone. She collected it and he left almost immediately.
She typed her number and saved it to “Samuel”. She chuckled and dailed her number. Her phone rang and she cut off the call. She saved Newton’s number as “Newton”.
After few minutes, He came in. He was holding the suit and a white shirt. Samantha collected the suit and narrowed her eyes looking at the white shirt which looked very familiar.
“I think I’ve seen this shirt before!” She gushed, now widening her eyes
“What? Really? It’s a limited edition though. My Mentor who trained me got this for me and trust me, It was really hard. Where did you see this?”
“Somewhere. I can’t just remember–She paused immediately and remembered that night, months back when she followed Malia and Elle to the club.`(On Episode 2)
She stained that shirt with her chicken! (Y’all Remember that Funny night? ?). Geez, it was then! She remembered! She had kicked Newton hard on the side of his neck after having a hot argument with him because of his cold and harsh reply and behavior towards her. And to make things worst, She dressed up as a girl! One Attractive sëxy Lady!
“Aaah!” She yelled closing her mouth with her hands.
“What? What? Huh?” He asked quite startled.
“Nothing” She felt her heart skip.
“I have got to go now. See you tomorrow” She was quite worried now.
“It’s fine. Just rest tomorrow. Resume on Monday. Goodnight. Sweet Dreams!” He waved to her as she forced a smile. She walked outside hurriedly.
“Aissh! I’m doomed! What if he remembers my face then!” She said to herself scattering her hair in frustration.
“No! It’s fine! He’s not gonna remember anyways. Then, I was with makeup,long wig,dress and all! No, He would’nt remember!”
“No! What if he remembers! Samantha! Samantha! You’ve been caught. You are in trouble!” She said sitting down on the motorcycle seat. She kept the black suit neatly inside her motorcycle back box.
As she was still talking to herself, Her phone rang loudly. She looked at her phone and picked the call. It was Blaze.
“Hello Blaze? Don’t worry. I’ve gotten the Suit–
“No. Please, This isn’t Blaze or wh@tëver. Your friend is totally out of it. I called you because you were the first in his received calls list. Please, Come over to “WW Bar”…He is madly drunk and needs assistance! He’s also taking his 11th bottle of Soju (Korean Alcohol) as we speak!!!” A lady voiced out.
“Oh my! I’m gonna be right there. Thank you so much” She replied and quickly hanged up. She started the ignite and she was off to Blaze.
*************************
“Ma’am. Thank you. I’m gonna assist him now” Samantha smiled bowing her head slightly. The lady nodded and continued her work.
Samantha sighed deeply and walked to Blaze.
“Hey? What’s wrong with you? Stop drinking. You’ve had more than enough” She seized the bottle from him. Blaze frowned and looked up.
Immediately, He saw Samantha, He gave a refreshing smile.
“Uhhhnn, It’s Samantha ?” He chuckled in his drunkness state
“Well.. Yeah. Now let’s go home. It’s late. 11:48pm!” She said.
“Samantha?” He called with a smile.
“What? Look at you. Being drunk makes you cute though. You look fu–
“I like you” He interrupted her.
“What?” She stuttered in a whisper. Her eyes reacted by blinking slowly.
“No. I love you” He said again.
“Huh?”
“Like me back, Please” He pleaded
“You’re drunk. Let’s talk tomorrow” She whispered
“No. I’m serious right now. I love you, Samantha. You can love me too right?” He asked. There was deep silence for minutes before she replied;
“Bia–nae(Sorry)” She whispered staring at the table.
“Why? Why can’t you like me? Please, Like me. Samantha, Please love me. Please” He said crying. Samantha watched him in silence.
“Samantha… Please, Love me. Please, Huh? Give me a chance, Jebal(Please)” He begged with painful tears still streaming. He sniffed hard as he wiped the uncontrollably falling tears.
Samantha continued looking at him. She bit her lips hard trying to hold her guilt. Her eyes twitched watching him cry in sadness. She felt sadness lurk in her, especially pity.
“I’m really sorry” She whispered again as he continued crying while the others watched.
