Juicy stiffened after hearing Xander's question. She had not given much thought to their relationship and she had not found out what he was to her.
There was this feeling she could feel deep down inside her but she did not what it was called.
Was it love?
Nah! She knew that there was no hell way she was in love with Xander, she was only attached to him because of their bed breaking sex. That was all.
Juicy lifted her head and stared into Xander's eyes which conveyed a lot of emotions at the same time. The Xander she knew hardly shows his emotions evening when they were f*cking.
"Answer me Juicy," Xander pleaded.
Juicy let out a heavy breath and looked him in the eyes.
"Xander I can't give you an immediate response. I need time to…"
"Figure out yourself and sort out your emotions," Xander completed her statement.
"I knew this would be the answer," Xander muttered under his breath.
"Xander…" Juicy reached out to touch his hand but Xander caught her hand midway.
"No need for that Juicy, I am fine," Xander told her.
"So, when are you going to reconcile with your father?" Xander asked, changing the topic.
"Well, for now I don't know. Wait a minute! How did you know that my father and I are not on good terms?" Juicy asked.
"I watch your movements Juicy," Xander replied shamelessly.
"What the heck?" Juicy yelled.
"Don't worry, the shadow guard I assigned to you would not interfere with your decisions, the only job he has is to protect you and report your daily activities to me," Xander added.
"You do know that I am a full grown woman and what you are doing is an invasion of privacy," Juicy stated.
"No sweetie, it is keeping you safe," Xander argued.
Juicy was stunned after hearing what Xander said. Why was he so shameless?
"Well, since you have someone watching me daily, how about I have someone watch you as well," Juicy suggested, earning a chuckle from Xander.
"Really? That would be so cool of you but I assure you that he wouldn't even last a day," Xander added proudly.
"Are you daring me?" Juicy asked dangerously, leaning closer to him and biting down on her lips, a gesture that Xander noticed.
"What if I am? I like a strong challenge," Xander replied.
A smirk appeared on Juicy's face, she was about to say something when her phone rang.
It took everything in Xander not to smash her phone and continue their discussion. Why did the phone decide to ring now?
"I need to take this call," Juicy told Xander and he only nodded his head.
"Hello Lily,"
"Hi Juicy,"
"What is up? How are you doing?" Juicy asked.
"I am fine, I wanted us to have a day off work today and go spend some time together, it has been a long time since we last gathered and besides I have something important to tell you guys," Lily said enthusiastically, Juicy could tell from her tone that she was really excited.
"When you mean us, do you mean, me, you, Sandra and Evie?" Juicy asked.
"Yes, where are you so I can come pick you up before visiting Evie?" Lily asked.
"Meet me at Genesis," Juicy said.
"Alright, bye."
Juicy looked up at Xander after she ended the call.
"Obviously, you are going," Xander stated.
"I would see you soon," Juicy told him before pecking him on the cheeks and turned to leave.
She took a cab to Genesis and was not surprised when she saw that Lily and Sandra were already in the car waiting for her.
Meanwhile,
Evie could not sleep properly in the night because of the nightmares she had.
She growled as she got out of bed and headed to the bathroom.
"Good morning ma'am, should I help you out in the bathroom?" Questioned Alexa.
"No, thanks," Evie replied bluntly.
She entered the bathroom and turned the shower on, allowing it to wet her from head to toe. She totally ignored the bathtub, she did not plan on drowning again.
After a quick yet cold shower, she made her way to her closet and picked a simple dress to wear.
"Ma'am, I brought your already ironed clothes for you," Alexa told her.
"Get out!" Evie ordered.
"Ma'am?" Alexa was stunned.
Evie turned to face Alexa and she swallowed. "Do you think it is funny to be under someone's supervision for twenty-four hours?" Evie asked and of course got no reply from Alexa.
"I am a grown up woman, yet I am treated like a kid, having someone to watch me all day. Now I said GET OUT!!!!!!!!!" Evie yelled stunning Alexa who wasted no time obeying her.
"I am no longer a kid!" Evie continued to roar.
Sorry to say but she woke up from the wrong side of the bed and she wouldn't think twice before lashing out on anyone who gets in her way.
Her mother's death also added to her behaviour this morning plus the nightmares that would not allow her to enjoy her peaceful sleep.
Evie wore her clothes and headed downstairs. As usual Alexa was setting the table for her.
Evie ignored her and took two apples from the fruit basket and walked over to the sitting room.
She slumped on the sofa, eating her apple and turning on the television.
"Ma'am, your food is ready," Alexa announced.
"I am not hungry," Evie replied without looking at her.
"But ma'am, you need to eat to take your medications as well as help healing yourself," Alexa explained.
"Are you done? If you are done, get out!" Evie said casually, her gaze still fixed on the television.
Alexa stared at Evie keenly to know if it was truly her. What had gotten into her for her to act in such a rude and arrogant manner?
"If you're done staring at me as well, then use the door," Evie told her, finally looking at Alexa.
"Ma'am, this is not you," Alexa said.
"Shut up and stop talking. Leave me alone and let me live my life in peace, is it too much to ask for?!" Evie snapped at her.
Alexa got everything, she was frustrated beyond level, like who wouldn't be? Anyone passing through her situation is bound to get insane.
Alexa couldn't blame her, life is unfair to everyone and she happened to be an unfortunate one.
"Jeremiah 29:11, For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future," Alexa recited.
"Oh please, spare me that bullshit, where was the so-called Lord when I needed him the most? Huh?" Evie asked and rolled her eyes.
Just before Alexa could reply, Juicy, Sandra and Lily surfaced.
"What are you guys doing here and how did you guys get past the security?" Evie asked in a suprise tone.
"Oh about that, I asked Ezekiel for permission which he granted me," Lily replied, earning a shocked look from the girls.
Lily was capable of anything
