And why is that? Naomi asked. Because this is Nina's wish. You won't be happy if you didn't fulfill it. Ardi reasoned. I suppose that's true. It's Nina's last wish and I won't forgive myself if I don't go. She said to herself. It's good you understand. Ardi said. Thanks for the understanding. Naomi said. You're welcome. Ardi said. Now get your ass up and go. I'm pretty sure they are waiting for you. Ardi said. Then I have to go. I'll gist you about everything that happens. Naomi said. What I'm I? Your gossip mate? He asked. You'll just have to fill in to the spot till my old ones come back. She said. You've got to be kidding me. Ardi said as she laughed. Bye. She said cutting the call.
************************************When Naomi arrived, the others were already waiting. Her royal highness is already here. Sarah said. Great. Please can we get this over with. Sam said as she entered inside followed by Ruby and Sarah and Klaus. Welcome. Luke said smiling at her as she smiled back. After you. He said as they entered inside. How about you go save our seat while I get the popcorn for everyone. Luke said. I think I'll stick with following you. Naomi said as he smiled shaking his head. As much as I'll like you to accompany me, I'll still need you to go save our seat because I don't think those three girls would save our seats for us and Klaus has been avoiding a clash with Sarah, so he won't bother. Luke explained. You make a good point. Naomi said leaving. She spots her friends thanks to Ruby's red hair. Thank God there are two empty seats besides Klaus. She sat on one and kept the other one for Luke. We can't even breathe properly because of a certain someone. Sarah said. Not here Sarah. Keep it to yourself. Ruby scolded. What? I didn't say anything wrong and I certainly dis not call names. She said defending herself. The movie is about to start. The sooner the better. Sam said as Luke came with the popcorns distributing it to them. Thanks bro. Klaus said as the movie started. It was a comedy drama. Weldon granny. Sam said sarcastically as the movie started.
************************************At first it was awkward. No one was moving or laughing or saying anything. It was boring until one person's resolve went down. It was Sarah. She laughed at a scene. Fuck. That was hilarious. She said amidst laughter as Klaus and Luke joined her. I couldn't agree more. Luke said. This guy is stupid. Didn't he read the signs? Naomi asked as Ruby shakes her head and sighed. It's stupid but funny. Sam said as they all laughed and talked but the anger and tension was still there.
************************************Soon the movie came to an end. They were all outside and ready to go. Well this one is done and dusted. It was fun while it lasted. Sam said folding her hands. We just have the festival which is next tomorrow then we get to do what we want on our own terms. Klaus said. It was fun and all that but if there is nothing left to say or do, I'll be taking my leave. I have important things to do. Sarah said leaving as Klaus joined her. Luke, don't forget we have dinner with some important guests coming over. Ruby said as Luke nodded while Naomi once again felt left out. I'll be on my way then. She said to announce her presence. Be safe then. Sam said leaving as Ruby and Luke looked at Naomi. Be safe. There's been so many reports on accidents lately. Ruby said as Naomi just nodded as they left. At least, this is something. She thought to herself as she left going outside only to see Ardi waiting for her sitting on his motorbike. Hey. She called feeling surprised. Hey. He called back standing straight. Have you been here for long? She asked. I wouldn't say for long but yes I've been waiting for you. Ardi confirmed. Aww. That's so sweet. She cooed while Ardi rolled his eyes. How did you know I was here because I can't remember telling you. She said. I have my ways around things and before you ask I just thought it won't work and you would be feeling sad and I didn't have anything to do, so why not keep you company. Ardi rumbled as Naomi just smiled looking at him. It seems I'm rubbing off on you Ardi Wilson. Naomi said. You wish. Ardi stated smiling. Hear, hear Mr. Wilson. Hea,r hear. She said as they both laughed. Here, wear this over your head. Ardi said giving her his helmet. What about my car? She asked. We'll come back for it. Don't worry. He said as she nodded climbing his bike as he drove off
************************************Ardi slow down. Slow down. Naomi said shouting as Ardi laughed. What's wrong? I thought you wanted me to go fast before. Ardi said slowing down. I'm hungry. I want to eat something. She said whispering into his ears as he laughed out. I really do not know why you are laughing. Naomi said pouting as Ardi laughed more before stopping in front of a food truck. I knew you would be hungry. Foodie. He said ruffling her hair. Hey! Don't do that. She shouted as he smiled. Come on, let's eat. He said as they went to the food truck.
************************************After they finished eating, they stopped to get ice cream as they say on a bench to eat it. How do you know were all the good stuffs are? She asked. I just know. He answered smiled. The fuck. Naomi said eyeing him as they laughed. I see what your doing. She said as he just smiled as she exclaimed. It's so good to be here. The night breeze is so good and refreshing. She said as he just looked at her. Eat your ice cream so it won't melt. He said as she smiled. Yes daddy. She said smiling as he sighed shaking his head. You're really a hand full. He muttered. I heard you. She said. I wanted you to hear me. He said licking his ice cream as they were quiet for some minutes just enjoying the breeze and watching people. So how was it? He asked as she sighed. That bad? He asked. Not as you think. Today was better although I was left out. She said feeling sad. So what do you plan to doing? He asked her as looked at the sky before looking at him. If nothing changes after next tomorrow I'll stop trying. I'm going to take it as they were never meant to be in my life. She said as he just nodded. As long as you know what you're doing and you won't regret this then I'll support you. Ardi said as she looked at him. What? Don't give that look or else I'll dump you. He said as she snickered. Jerk. She said as he laughed checking his watch. Come on, we need to go. It would soon be midnight. He said as she gasped. Oh no! We lost track of time but it was worth it. She said as he smiled. I'm honored. He said bowing as they entered his bike and left to get her car.
************************************Thank you for today. Naomi said smiling as Ardi smiled back. Any time. He said. Be safe. The road is bad and there's been accident lately. Ardi said as Naomi just smiled. Ok sir. I'll be careful. She said entering her car and zooming off. Silly girl. He said laughing as he entered his bike and left.
She looked at her rear view mirror only to see Ardi's bike. She smiled as she looked at it again. He was following her to keep her safe without her knowing. At that moment, Naomi had never felt lucky and loved.
