Freya sat on the couch in her joggers, a turtle neck t-shirt and a sweater. She had a glass of water and painkillers in her hand. She jerked her head to the back and flushed the two round button-like tablets down her throat.
She heard a key twisting in the keyhole and turned to look at the door. The door handle jiggled and Sammy came in. She wore maroon suede knee-length high boots, black jeans, black tank top and finished her look with a maroon leather jacket. She has light makeup spoiled and had her hair cascading on her back with curls at the end.
She turned around and saw Freya on the couch. She dropped her bags and ran where her friend was seating.
"Freya ", she squealed as she sat close to her friend and brought her close to for a hug. Their faces made contact and Freya pushed her back.
"Good gracious, you're freezing ", she complained.
"I know, I need a cup of coffee and I brought a couple of Sandwiches from Molly's", she stood up and picked up all the stuff that she dropped out of excitement. She placed her bag on the couch and went to the kitchen with the paper bag with the sandwiches.
Sammy placed the plate with the sandwiches next the the coffee mugs and then joined Freya as she'd started digging in. They ate the food in silence while Sammy frequently picked up the remote to switch channels.She took off her shoes and placed tugged her legs closer to her chest and covered her legs with the blanket that Freya brought down.
"When are you going back to work ", Freya mumbled with her mouth half full, took a sip and looked at her.
"Tuesday", she answered.
"Wow that's early ", she said.
"But you'll have enough time to get over everything and...oh wait ", she said remembering something. "I have some of my mom's apple pies in the car, I forgot them ", she said.
She got off the couch and went out to get them inside the car. She took the medium container to the kitchen sat on the couch again.
"We'll have some of them for dinner ", Freya said rubbing her filled belly.
"Find lover ", Sammy laughed a little.
"Huh says the pig ", she said with her eyes fixed on the screen and she heard a pillow being smacked in the side If her face.

After dinner the two lied on Sammy's bed paging through magazines looking for nice dress for Freya to wear to Blake's wedding . It was only a week down the line so they had to get something soon. Sammy had just hung up the phone, she had been talking to Jonathan. She was bringing him as a date and Freya was bringing Max. Her father and Mike were going to be there so they knew about their fake relationship except the fact that it was fake so she was left with no choice.
For the rest of the week Sammy went work and Freya worked at home. She was bored and so she called Bertha the one holding her position and helped her with a few things.
Jonathan, would come hang out with Sammy at times, go out and everything and so she stayed in the house. She didn't have a problem with him coming there but when she saw the cuddling on the sofa or did those little cute couple things like stealing little pecks on the cheek she would wish that she was the one being done tagt by Sam. But when he came over for his jacket he gave it to him and closed the door in his face .

Sam pushed his fathers wheel chair inside his fathers Mansion . He was no discharged he'd insisted that he attended his nieces wedding. This wasn't just his niece but his favourite.
He stretched out his legs to stand up but Sam pushed him back down. "Dad you know that the doctor advised you not the walk very long distance", Sam rubbed his forehead.
"Luke ", he called out. His father's butler came in a rush.
"Yes, young master ", he said. Sam raised an eyebrow at him and frowned at him. "Oh sorry sir, I mean Sam ", he corrected himself. Sam didn't like him calling him young master yet he was older that him. He was allowed call him Sam around the house and Sir when around people especially business associates.
"Please take him to his new bedroom ", he said. Sam had called Like earlier asking Jim to prepare a room for his father temporarily, while he recovered .
"What new bedroom are you talking about ", his father asked. "I'm not using any new bedrooms. What nonsense is that! I'll use my bedroom", he said using his hands to roll the wheels forward to the elevator.
Sam couldn't say anything after his father had decided. It was his health after all but he couldn't do anything further."please make sure that he reaches there safely ", he asked Luke. He took the next lift to his Master's floor.
Sam closed the large door of his father's house . This was a large building but he didn't stay there because of his father. He wanted a much peaceful life for himself than his father always sticking his nose on his business.
His car engine came to live and he drove out of the mansion. The went straight to his house and found Jonathan with the two suits lies flat on the couched.
"Are they done ", he asked.
"Yes ".
"Good, it's going to be a long weekend", he huffed and took out his hoodie. He was exhausted. After what happened in the hospital all he did was burry his head into his work trying to forget what happened. When he tried explaining to Freya the day he went to the fetch his jacket she didn't give him the chance, he only got the door closed in his face.
"Here", Jonathan gave him a container with food and coke. The took the food and devoured it that instant. They didn't like take out they knew how to cook like pros but were both tired so Jonathan got food on his way home .
"So what are you planning to do? You know that the two of you have to fix things right", he asked.
"But she's no going give me a chance. I'm thinking of giving up ", he said but deep down he knew that he wasn't going to get over her her easily not to mention giving io on what he has for her .
"Give up and get married to that hoe? ", he asked.
"No I didn't say that ".
"Then what are you saying. He are you going to talk your father out of theis arranged marriage thing ".
"Dude she has a boyfriend, has replaced me".
"She what?, how can you say that ", he asked.
"Remember that time I didn't want to tell you what happened outside the hospital. She went away with him bro, they held hands and it was just a clear sign that she had enough of me and I don't blame her. I deserve this ", he stood up and threw the containers in the trash can, down the last bit if his coke and threw it also.
He wanted to get this wedding thing done with and continue with his work. His heart was just at the verge of breaking and all he hoped for was that Freya broke u with that guy or at least give him a chance t
and explain.
"That's not his boyfriend, you just had this all wrong. That's her PI helping her with something ", Jonathan said.
He knew this because these days he would hand out at their place after work and he would see him there and there was nothing, there was no connection between them and he was sure about that. He has to do something. He knew for a fact that all to confusions were being made by Narisa directly and indirectly. He had to find a way to bring these two love birds together . He'd seen that hope and happiness in has friends eyes that morning and he git aware of what Freya could do to him. The woman was his strength and weakness.
'That means she still hasn't found her mother's murderers ', he thought.
"And what is that ", he asked.maybe Jonathan knew. He could tell him.
" I don't think that's my place to tell you ".
"Mmm, I understand. Good night", he said making his way upstairs and went to sleep.
