Natalie climbed down from the stage slowly. Right now, she isn’t herself. She kept staggering as she walked.
Clark ran to her, seeing she might fall any moment from then.
“Natalie?” He muttered, holding her.
She faced him. Her eyes were soaked with abundant tears. She sniffed, and pushed him off.
“Its your fault!” She screamed.
“Natalie..”
“I h@të you!” She cried out and left.
“Wait…” Clark tried running to her but Maureen blocked his way.
“Maureen?” He muttered.
She flashed him a smile.
“You wanna have a drink with me?”
He sighed.
“Actually, I-
“Let’s go” She said, and held his hand, leading him away from the scene. written by sommy pearl f.

Jayden and Whitney walked back into the party holding hands
“Okay. I guess we’ll part here” He said.
“Yeah. I’m gonna meet up with Jade” Whitney pointed at Jade who was dancing with a glass of liquor in her hand.
Jayden nodded and walked to some guys who were busy chatting, drinking and laughing
“Oh…Look at the lover boy” They hailed, chuckling.
“Come off it” Jayden giggled and sat amongst them.
He took a glass of liquor and looked around the grand party.
“Where’s Clark by the way?”
“Desmond too?” Jayden asked, slowly sipping from his glass.
“Clark followed some girl to drink and Desmond…I think I saw him going outside then”
Jayden nodded and finished the glass contents immediately. He turned to see Jade and Whitney dancing and smiling.
Jayden looked at a happy Whitney and he never discovered he was actually smiling.

Natalie went outside and paused her movements. She looked up and wiped her crawling tears.
She was about to move again when she noticed something.
She turned her head quickly to see Demons standing by the wall.
“Desmond?” She muttered, furrowing her eyes.
He was about lighting the cigarette which laid between his lips.
He staggered when he saw her and threw the cigarette away.
“Natalie?” He called, softly.
She sighed and picked the cigarette from the floor.
Desmond watched her in surprise.
He looked at her as she kept the cigarette in between her lips. She took the lighter from him and lighted the butt of the cigarette.
“I actually needed this. Thanks” Natalie forced a smile and left.
Desmond swallowed hard and scattered his hair.

“Oh! F*ck! The party was so great! Clark gave me this contact…Feels good” Maureen laid on Whitney’s bed.
“Get up. I’m tired” Whitney Mõ@ned.
Jade groaned and laid on her bed.
“Jayden’s baby” Maureen winked and got up.
“Okay guys. Good night. Or should I say good morning. This is 2am already. Anyways, bye and sleep tight” Maureen said and walked out.
“By the way?” Jade Mõ@ned and opened her eyes.
“When did you both start dating?”
“Huh? 2 days go?” Whitney forced a smile.
Whitney laid down and looked at the ceiling.
“First thing first, I and Jayden need to see my mum. I need to tell her Ricardo’s son is my boyfriend. Maybe, she won’t hurt Ricardo and Jayden won’t feel broken if Ricardo goes bankrupt. Also, Jayden and Ricardo has this tight sweet bond and how broken”
“Maybe, If I also tell Mum I’m dating him. She might want us to stay more in Washington rather than leaving right away. Besides, I’ve made a strong attachment with Maureen and Jade, especially” She thought.
★ WHITNEY’S POV ★
Those are actually my reasons of wanting to date Jayden.
I’m doing this for Jade.
But its quite unusual, why can’t I take this scene away from head? The kiss…It keeps replaying and replaying in my memory.
I pinched my lips with my finger nails gently. When I realized what I was doing, I slapped my hand off.
Why am I behaving this way? This isn’t even my first kiss.
My first kiss was with Desmond and I didn’t think about it too much.
And I won’t say, the reason was because it wasn’t quite deep
With that thoughts, I dozed off.
★ BACK TO 3RD PERSON POV ★
Shannon smiled and took her glasses down. She was on her laptop that early morning.
She was still on her night dress and a cup of tea was beside her on the table, close to the laptop.
“Finally got a dental clinic. Just need to make an appointment” She muttered.
“Mum?” Liam ran in.
“Yes sweetie” She answered.
“There are no toiletries anymore” He Mõ@ned with a childish frown.
Shannon looked at him and sighed.
“Okay. I’ll go get them all at the mall. I’m just gonna hurry and make an appointment with the dentist okay?”
“Okay” Liam nodded, smiling.
Shannon looked at the laptop, and after making few fillings and pressings, she got it done.
“Oh well. I guess it time to go to the shopping mall”

Shannon was back from the shopping mall. She was about to step into the house surroundings when a loud voice stopped her.
“Excuse Me!”
Shannon looked and furrowed her eyes, arching her brows.
She watched as a handsome dazzling man in his mid forties came to her. He was so H. O. T. hot!!
He wasn’t wearing a shirt so his abs were exposed almost blinding Shannon.
If she didn’t put on sunglasses, maybe she might run blind?
He was only wearing blue shorts.
She swallowed as she scanned his sweaty body.
She finally looked at his face and he smiled s*xily at her.
She was about smiling back but she quickly shook her head.
She brought her sunglasses down.
“Excuse me? Who are you?” She asked, steadily.
“Uh..Yeah. I’m actually the guy you asked to clear your weeds”
“Huh?”
“Last 4 days ago, I think? You gave me cash, and asked for a discount. The guy with the lawn mower. I wanna return the mon-
“Oh my! I remember now! Gosh. I couldn’t recognize you. Cause, you’re looking so…so-
“Hot” She thought, and licked her lower lip, quickly..
“So different” She told him smiling.
“You were wearing safety garments plus the hat…I guess that what made you different” She said.
“Sorta” He uttered.
“I see you live here now?” She asked.
“Yeah. Close by” He pointed at the neighbor duplex.
“Wow. Too close” She chuckled, nervous
.
“Anyways, a gardener as my new neighbor? Less wedding and more discount for me” She said.
“Huh? So,, Actually. I’m not a gar- gardener”
“C’mon. I know you’re handsome, hot, Sëx¥, great body and all but you don’t have to be ashamed of your job”
“You don’t understa-
“I do. Seriously, Its fine being a gardener. You don’t have to be ashamed of your job for any reason as far as it fetches money and food on the table. Even though, I’m ashamed of mine…Its still okay to embrace your job”
“Huh?”
“Neighbor, I’m Shannon. Shannon Kennerson” She stretched her hand for an handshake.
“Noel Brown” He smiled and accepted the handshake.

John yawned tiredly as he walked outside his hostel.
His hostel is different from where the others stay but closer.
He stopped at the store close by and yawned again.
“A bar of bathing soap please…The usual” John said.
The vendor nodded and brought a bar which he packaged in for him.
John paid and proceeded to leave when a cute little girl ran to him.
“Handsome mister” She said, with her childish tiny voice.
“How are you pretty?” He asked.
“Fine” She nodded.
“Handsome mister. I was sent by someone” She pointed at the faraway corner.
“Huh? Go on” He answered.
“The person asked me for your facebook user name. The person said there’s something you need to hear” She said, like she was reciting it.
“Who? A guy or a lady?”
“I don’t know. I couldn’t see the person face. There was a cap, mask-
“Don’t worry. My fb user name is-
