Dami opened one of her eyes and looked around.
Huh Miles’s room?
How did she get there?
She opened her eyes fully and sat up.
She remembered waiting for him for hours, she probably slept off while waiting.
And he carried me home, how come I never woke up?, She mumbled. But she shrugged and stood up.
She brushed and showered before leaving the room to look for Miles.
She went to his studio first but he wasn’t there, so she headed to the living room.
He was sitting on the dinning chair pressing his phone.
He wasn’t facing her so she snuck behind him but before she could touch him, he noticed her presence and turned.
Wait!!! It wasn’t Miles!!!!, It was Ace!!!!.
He suddenly screamed loudly, she gasped and screamed too.
A maid rushed in making them stop screaming immediately.
Is something wrong?, The maid asked.
They looked at each other blankly.
Why did you scream, Ace asked her.
I screamed because you screamed, why did you scream?, Dami asked in return.
Of course I screamed because I saw you!, He yelled.
Dami scoffed. The maid walked away shaking her head
What are you doing here? I met you the last time too, he said. Dami rolled her eyes.
Don’t tell me it’s what I think, he mumbled.
Of course it’s what you think, I live here, she said.
He looked at her in shock.
How? Are you really going out with Miles now?, He asked.
I thought you were best friends with Miles, didn’t he tell you?, Dami asked.
Of course I’ve been filming for the past few weeks, n!gg@ didn’t tell me anything, he replied.
Didn’t you meet him today?, Dami asked
He is not at home. I even wondered where he went, Ace said.
I just woke up now and couldn’t find him either, do you think he went for a shoot?, She asked.
He was about to reply when the front door opened and Miles came in.
Dami wanted to call his name but the cold look on his face stopped her.
He looked really angry and cold. He didn’t even spare them a glance, he just entered the elevator.
Dami hit Ace with her elbow. He glared at her.
Shouldn’t you be trying to talk to him?, Dami asked.
Are you kidding?, Why should I?, Ace scoffed.
He is your best friend of course, Dami said.
Like that? Did you see how he looked. Imagine going to ask a bruised lion if he’s hurt, Ace said.
But he was fine yesterday, could it be the dinner, Dami mumbled.
What dinner?, Ace asked.
Family dinner, he had dinner with his family yesterday, could it be the reason?, Dami asked.
Probably. His dad must have annoyed him again, Ace replied.
His dad? Isn’t he in good terms with his dad?, Dami asked.
His dad is kind of annoying, he puts up with him but maybe he crossed the line, Ace replied.
Dami sighed and grabbed him.
What are you doing?, Ace snapped.
Going to watch him, if we can’t talk to him, we can at least watch him, he may be hurting, Dami said and pulled him along.
Ace rolled his eyes
••
Dami opened the door and peeped. Miles was sitting on the couch smoking.
Wow he smokes too?
What is he doing?, Ace asked.
Smoking, she whispered.
Jeez then it’s finished, I am leaving, he said and made to leave but she grabbed him.
He only smokes when he is frustrated and pissed.
If it’s that bad then we should talk to him, Dami said.
Talk to him?, Ace scoffed.
Yeah he may need company now, Dami said. He looked at the door for a while before facing her.
Fine then let’s do this, he said.
Ok so are y………
Before Dami could complete her statement, Ace pushed her inside the room.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.
That betraying bastard!!!!!!!
She turned around and faced Miles. He was also looking at her.
Urhm Miles are you……..
He looked away before she could finish talking. She bit her lips.
Are you okay, she asked calmly.
Do I look sick?, He asked in return.
Well you’ve been not been okay since and I am worried, she mumbled.
He stood up and walked to the door.
Don’t you think you are being rude right now? I am worried about you and you are………
I don’t need you to worry about me!!!!!, He snapped. She looked at him in shock.
What the hell is wrong with you?, she asked.
There is nothing wrong with me, don’t worry about me, he snapped.
There is definitely something wrong, we were fine yesterday and now you are being harsh and rude, she said
Don’t you get? I don’t need anyone around me for now!!, Especially you!!, He snapped.
You don’t need me around?, She asked.
I don’t think I spoke in French, he replied and with that he left the room and slammed the door hard
Dami felt her heart crack.
She didn’t know the reason why it behaved like that but, it hurt. She was in pain.

The sweet aroma of chicken woke Chelsea up. Her stomach growled loudly.
d@mn who’s causing this volcano, she mumbled.
Jeez, I can’t take this anymore, she said.
She immediately stood up from the bed and rushed to the bathroom to freshen up.
Then she made her way to the kitchen.
Granny is such a nice cook, I am going to………..
She paused when she opened the kitchen.
Jeez!! Ryan????
Wait was it Ryan all along? No definitely not.
She entered the kitchen and started looking around, she even opened the fridge but she couldn’t find Granny.
What are you doing?, Ryan asked. He had been watching her silently.
Where is Granny?, Chelsea asked.
Are you seriously searching for her in the fridge?, He asked in shock.
Did she go to get something from her room?, She asked.
She has gone for check up, he replied.
That’s definitely a lie. Are you trying to tell me you are the one frying this chicken?, She asked.
He scoffed.
What? Did you think your shadow was the chef?, He asked.
She wanted to reply him but then her eyes fell on the chicken and she gulped.
Did you really think I can’t cook, jeez I won a cooking competition back when I was in………. Drop that chicken you thief!!!!, Ryan screamed.
Chelsea had grabbed one and was already eating it.
You lazy brat!!!, Ryan screamed.
Jeez Ryan this is really good. Are you sure you didn’t order this?, She asked. He glared at her.
If I ever see you around here again? You are seriously dead, I am not joking?, He snapped.
Chelsea nodded. Ryan drew an invisible line and faced her.
You are dead if you cross this line did you hear, he snarled. She nodded.
He hissed and went back to his work.
Chelsea finished eating that one and started licking her fingers, her eyes were fixed on the remaining chicken.
You better don’t spit in my kitchen, Ryan snapped.
Ryan, she called calmly. He glared at her immediately.
Can I…….
Jeez the look he gave her made her close her mouth immediately.
What do you want, he asked.
Can I throw the bones, she asked instead. He stretched his hand to her.
She stared at him blankly.
Give it to me, can’t you really read signals?, He scoffed.
No I want to throw it myself, she said.
Don’t worry I will help you, you can go back to sleep, he told her.
No I really want to throw the bones myself, she said.
Then throw it outside instead!, He snapped.
Okay okay fine, then take it, she said and stepped closer.
Don’t cross the line, I don’t trust you, he snapped. She dropped the bone in his hand and shifted backwards.
But as Ryan turned around to drop the bones in the trashbag, she rushed and grabbed the whole plate of the chicken and flew out of the kitchen immediately.
Chelsea!!!!!, Ryan screamed and ran after her immediately.
Come here you snake!!!!, He yelled as he ran. She rushed to her room and tried closing the door after she got in but it was too late because Ryan already put his leg in between the door.
So she jumped on the bed immediately. Soon they started running around the house.
Chelsea you are so dead if I get you and don’t you dare touch that meat!!!, Ryan screamed.
Sorry I don’t want to share this meat with anyone at all, it’s too tasty, she said.
This greedy rabbit!, He yelled. She put her hand inside the plate to take one meat.
Ryan dived towards her at that point but before he could get to her, he lost his balance and fell.
Chelsea gasped.
He was going to hit his head on the edge of a table.
Without thinking Chelsea immediately flung the plate away and protected his head with her hand.
He stared at her in shock.
Ouch it hurts, she groaned. He jumped up immediately and grabbed her hand.
Are you crazy, how could you put your hand on my head, he snapped.
But you would have hit your head if I didn’t do that, she mumbled. He looked at her speechlessly.
The chicken is now all over the floor, she mumbled sadly.
Seriously? Is that what she’s thinking of now??. This girl…….
He pulled the hand and she cried out in pain immediately.
See you are not okay, let’s go to the hospital, he said.
Go to the hospital for just this? I am really fine I just need massage, she said.
Are you kidding, it might get worst, we have to go to the hospital, he said.
It’s not that serious, I am not going anywhere, she said stubbornly. He groaned.
She stretched her hand to him.
Just massage it, it will be fine, she said smiling.
Why is she even smiling? How can she be smiling right now?
I hurt my hand because of you, she pouted.
Why is she acting too cute?
Jeez what’s wrong with him right now?
He sighed and grabbed her hand.
Ouch!!!, She cried loudly.
Don’t even try to blame me, you were the one who stole the chicken!, he snapped.
Can’t you be gentle, she snarled.
He hissed and held her hand gently this time.
Ouch!!!, She screamed again.
What’s it this time, I was very gentle, he snapped.
Can you pick the chicken for me? It will reduce the pain, she said.
Seriously???
••
Pablo stood in the garage waiting for his target.
He looked up whenever someone came to the garage. Then he started hearing the faint sound of heels.
He looked up and smirked.
There you are, he mumbled.
He walked to her immediately and she paused when she saw him.
Hey Happy, he waved.
She stared at him calmly.
It’s time, he mumbled.
