In an expensive, exquisite VIP hotel room. A woman sat on the huge bed, smoking marijuana. "Any news?"
The man who stood beside was trembling. She had this kind of deadly aura that; any simple mistake from someone, the person's head will be long gone from his or her body.
"He is at the funeral of his boss who.." The man immediately shut his mouth. He didn't know what he did that she glared at him scornfully. He felt his heart beat slowing down. His legs were shaking, as he began to sweat. He thought he was going to die soon.
She looked at the trembling man in front of her. She smiled, satisfied with the impact she had on him. Apart from money, what she loved also was fear. She loved it when people trembled at the sight of her.
"Get out." She said, not even looking at him.
The man thanked his stars and quickly dashed out of the room.
She placed the cigeratte on the ash tray and took the TV remote beside her and switched the TV on to watch the news. "How are you doing my boy?"
She smiled at the picture of Josh on her phone. "I don't want you to end up like your dad okay?" She had a sardonic smile on her face, before she tossed her phone on the bed.
Four of them came out of the cemetery, thanking everyone that came to pay their last respects to Mrs Williams.
They went to Daniel's car with Jessica and Sabrina sitting at the back, while Josh was at the front with Daniel, who couldn't even start driving yet.
Josh saw his friend's situation. He knew Daniel was trying to be strong. Daniel had known Mrs Williams for a long time before she opened her store. He wished he was interested in knowing people then. Maybe he would have known Mrs Williams also for a long time.
He stroked Daniel's back gently, assuring him all will be well. "Let me drive."
Daniel looked at him and smiled gratefully. He couldn't drive in this state. He turned back to see that Jessica had already fallen asleep, resting her head on Sabrina's shoulder. Sabrina was also sleeping.
Daniel and Josh came out of the car to exchange seats. They settled in the car before Josh drove off.
Daniel looked outside the window. He missed Mrs Williams a lot. Even if he didn't cry, it was more painful when he couldn't cry out. She was like a mother to him.but
They arrived at Josh's house. Jessica and Sabrina were fast asleep in the car. Josh and Daniel decided to carry them inside.
Josh carried Sabrina, while Daniel carried Jessica. They took them to the guest room before leaving to the sitting room.
"Daniel?"
"Yes?"
"How did you know Mrs Williams? How come I never knew about her?" Josh asked.
Daniel rolled his eyes at Josh. "Really? That time I had an accident that I told you a nice woman called the ambulance for me. The moment your big ears heard woman, you told me its okay, you aren't interested."
Josh remembered that day. He regretted not meeting her that day. The fear he had for women because of his mother had a really bad impact on him. He still had nightmares about how she killed his dad.
"Why didn't you tell me it was Mrs Williams? Wait, what? Don't answer that." He realised how dumb his question was.
Daniel just stared at him. "Are you sure you're okay bro?"
Josh glared at him. "Shut up."
Daniel laughed. "You can be stupid to."
Josh pinched Daniel's arm. "You are sick."
"Ouch! Sorry." He massaged his arm. The thing stung him really hard caused by his heartless friend.
Josh smiled at Daniel when he wasn't seeing him. He knew Daniel would tease him. He was happy Daniel was happy.
Later in the evening, Jessica woke up and saw an unfamiliar place. She started panicking. "Have i been kidnapped? Omg." She looked everywhere until her eyes met someone sleeping beside her. She saw it was Sabrina. She sighed in relief before tapping Sabrina lightly.
Sabrina moved a little, but she slept back. Jessica tapped her lightly again. Sabrina opened her eyes this time.
Sabrina blinked multiple times to see clearly. She saw Jessica with a worried look on her face. She stretched her body and yawned before she sat up. She looked around the room and knew this was Daniel's house. "What is wrong Jessica?"
Jessica was surprised that Sabrina wasn't worried. "What do you mean what is wrong? We are in a strange place. Where is Josh and Daniel?" She whispered.
Sabrina stared at her before she laughed. Jessica didn't know how funny she looked. "Oh my Jessica. We are in Daniel's house. It looks like we slept off when we were in the car."
"Ohh." Jessica felt relieved. She looked at the room once again. "Its big."
"Yeah it is ." Sabrina got down from the bed. She still saw that Jessica was admiring the room. "Jessica, have you fallen inlove with the room? Let's go." She chuckled as she opened and left the room.
Sabrina went to the living room to see Daniel watching spongebob squarepants. Josh quietly sat on the arm chair far away from Daniel looking at the baby in front of him.
Sabrina joined on the couch. She was smiling happily. "SpongeBob!" She folded her legs on the couch and rested her hands on the cushion, fully focusing on the TV.
Daniel saw her when she came in. He smiled in content. "At least I'm not the only one." He looked at Josh who was looking at Sabrina. "What is it now Josh?"
Josh ignored Daniel. "You watch cartoons Sabrina?"
Sabrina didn't even notice Josh. She turned to look at him. The words that were about to come out from her mouth went back inside.
Josh looked so sexy. He was dressed in a grey sweatpants and a grey sweatshirt. His curly hair was wet, covering a part of his face. It was obvious is not long he came out from the shower. His legs were crossed with his with his face resting on his hand.
Sabrina gaped at him. She didn't know wearing a sweatpant and shirt will look so sexy. She gulped before clearing her throat. "Yes i-i-i do watch cartoons. Not all, just spongebob and some." She immediately looked away. She didn't know for how long she will manage to be around him.
Jessica came out of the room to the living room. She looked everywhere in amazement. "Daniel your house is so beautiful."
They all looked at where the voice came from.
Daniel grinned. "Thanks. I have taste."
Josh rolled his eyes at Daniel. "How are you doing now Jessica?"
Jessica stopped admiring the house to look at Josh. She sat down. "I am fine. I am happy i got to pay my last respects to mother." She sighed. "But is all over now. I pray she is happy with me. I will have peace of mind everywhere I go." She smiled.
"Yes, I am happy she has finally rested. Don't worry Jessica, your mum sees your heart." Daniel said.
"Yes." Sabrina agreed.
"We are happy you are happy." Josh smiled at her.
Jessica smiled at him back. 'He is really handsome though.' She thought.
