Chapter 38 - Episode 36: HELP ME

Even if Gabby had faith in them, she couldn't help but feel worried. After all, they were gone for three days straight.

Tiwari noticed her uneasiness, and came near her desk, hand placed on her shoulder as if to comfort her from her troubling thoughts.

TIWARI: Hey, are you sure you didn't break up?

GABBY: Of course not!

TIWARI: Why isn't he back, anyway?

GABBY: Doing some stuff...

TIWARI: OH...anyways, I...I want to tell you something.

In her friend's face is a hint of joy. Gabby couldn't help but guess. From the look of her blue eyes, she looks undoubtedly in love.

GABBY: Lemme guess...you're not single anymore?

TIWARI: Well, how'd you know Sherlock?

GABBY: You're my best...best friend. Of course I'd know...

Tiwari hugged her tightly, then proceeds to laugh a little.

GABBY: So...who's the lucky guy?

TIWARI: Finn!

GABBY: Sh*t, I knew it!

TIWARI: He's an awesome guy!

GABBY: I kept pushing you two but you're both damn slow!

TIWARI: Well, here we are now, anyways! Want to go to a coffee shop? I had extra money, I want to celebrate! I'm not alone anymore! Yahoo!

GABBY: Sure!

...

They were chatting and giggling, the normal stuff girls do when together. When a familiar silloutte caught Gabby's attention.

GABBY: Um...hey. Would you excuse me for a bit?

TIWARI: No way! We're having fun! And I'm telling you stories!

GABBY: I gonna pee.

TIWARI: OH. I...I'm sorry. I mean...cool, cool. Go ahead. I don't want you to explode her, right? *giggles* bye bye!

GABBY: *smiles* Yeah! It'll be quick.

Gabby follows the man, but of course, even he, knows too well that she already had his cover blown off.

He turns, face covered and asked.

???: The hell do you want?

GABBY: Who are you?

???: Ehe. You're in no position to ask that.

Behind his covers, was a grin on his face.

???: You're alone.

GABBY: What if I am?

???: What do you want?

GABBY: To confirm you. You seem suspicious. Moreover, what's with the outfit?

???: None of your business.

GABBY: WERE you watching us?!

???: Ssssshhhh, shut the hell up. Or I'll hurt you!

GABBY: I knew it!

???: Knew what?

GABBY: WHO you are! Your voice is louder enough for me to recall your identity.

???: Mmm. Well, I don't care. And I didn't intend to meet you again.

GABBY: I need your help!

???: What is it to me?

GABBY: Please. I beg you. Please help me.

His face softens and knew he couldn't say no. Her charm sure was so strong. He nodded and then turns his back on her.

???: 5 pm. Same place. Let's discuss how I can help.

GABBY: Thank you! Thank you!

...

GABBY: I'm back!

TIWARI: Sis! Just how many galoons of water did you peed?!

GABBY: Keep it down. You're embarrassing me.

TIWARI: Then what's your excuse? I felt lonely.

GABBY: Aww you poor thing. I had diarrhea.

TIWARI: Really? Then let's never eat here again next time! I'll rate this 1 star!

GABBY: Erm...no it's...please don't.

TIWARI: Uh, yes. I mean...they poisoned you!

GABBY: Oh no...maybe it 's something else.

TIWARI: Psh, fine whatever. Hey, wanna go to the mall?!

GABBY: Heck yeah! Lezzz go!

TIWARI: EEEKKKK! I'm so excited Gabby bear!

Gabby looks at her tenderly then squeezed her hand.

GABBY: I'm excited too. Thanks Tiwari...(softer)

TIWARI: Sure! Um, what's with the face.

GABBY: Nothing. I'm just happy for you.

TIWARI: Okay? Well, thank you too I guess. For sticking with me.

GABBY: Awww, well anyways let's go. We're beginning to act like a lesbian couple. Your bf might get jealous.

TIWARI: Oh Gabby, you make me laugh.

GABBY: My pleasure.
