"It's a prank my lovely pumpkin and you fell right into it , I couldn't bear the silent treatment anymore therefore I thought of a plan to make you speak with me again" He muttered with a happy smirk.
Kachi stopped dead and stared at him with daggers , she couldn't believe she had been played Christ she was such a fool she thought to herself incredibly livid at Patrick at the moment. Considering the fact that she looked ready to pounce on him, Patrick smartly took a step back while trying to calm her down. He knew how feisty kachi could get when crossed and that's one of the reason he loved her , in fact he loved every part of her he thought smiling like a fool while trying to preserve his life.
" You really have some nerves Patrick !!, I almost suffered from a heart attack and here you are smiling like moron " .
" Pumpkin I couldn't handle a day of not talking to you and all is well that ends well right? You once told me everything happens for a reason ".
" Don't give me that crap, Christ you are so mean and ayra and Ella are all part of this plan? I will skin them alive later."
" Yeah they were huge help now don't be mad, let's go wash your face then you can tell me what's been happening in your life lately. I missed you " He said genuinely , reaching for her hands.
Unarmoued by his words and gesture she tucked her fingers into his but still acted as though she was mad at him " I have to be compensated for wasting my precious tears on you " .
" Of course what do you want? "
" Ice cream" She replied smiling heartily
Patrick was expecting her to demand for a tangible materialistic stuff but here she was all happy just for ice cream " Done " He declared leading her outside and making a mental note to get her more than that.
" Omg Pat you wouldn't believe what happened, I actually have great news to share " She squealed giggling.
" What tell me?" He said matching her excitement.
" I don't have to work anymore pat, I don't know how but this organization called me they are like in charge of students from other countries studying here in abroad and they offered to pay for my allowance and tuitions. I don't have to worry about finance anymore" She finished with watery eyes .
" I'm happy you're happy pumpkin " .
" I wonder how they found out about me because last I checked I didn't sign up for any organization stuff "
Patrick wondered if she would feel overwhelmed if she found out that he was the person that made sure the organization inculcated her in their program so she wouldn't have to work anymore , maybe he would tell her next time not today . He decided shrugging his shoulders too
" Probably someone that has your best interest at heart mentioned your name " He muttered at last.
" Hmm whoever the person, I owe him or her my life and thanks " .

" Bae I can hear you go on with your story " Alice enthused in a sultry tone going into the ladies.
" Where are you? "
" I'm in the ladies I have to retouch my makeup and frankly I couldn't stand the stares anymore, I think I'm becoming more like ayra " She cried keeping her phone in such a way that Jiminy was seeing her properly and she still had the opportunity to do her makeup.
" I think you look beautiful with or without makeup and why will the whole school be starring at you just because you're on video call with me? " He questioned taken aback.
" Awww you're just saying that because I'm your girl and concerning the stares, I am Alice even if I cough the whole school would stop and stare " She said simply ,rubbing her lips together.
These past few weeks has been the most best part of her life, she had felt peace she didn't have since birth and the love and care of ayra and her mom oh and of course her boyfriend Jiminy. She thought blushing scarlet red, though she had been in the hospital more lately she had never felt alone or ugly because Jiminy was such a kind, loving, caring, clingy boyfriend that she wondered where he had been all her life and to think they started off as enemies. They always spoke everyday and somehow she didn't have to talk to herself in the mirror in order to get through the day unlike previous times, Jiminy was simply the best and everything she had been yearning for in Troy.
" What are you thinking about ? " .
" You " She replied smiling.
" Perfect I want you to always think of me, hope you have had all your medication? " .
" Yessssss whose that besides you "?
" Oh just a classmate " .
" She's pretty " She added with lowered gaze.
" You are more pretty " He replied making a show of moving to another chair away from the girl " I would never hurt you Alice never " He reassured.
" I know I'm just being unnecessary silly and jealous " .
" No you ain't silly . Always tell me whatever that's bothering you and you have a right to feel jealous, totally normal " .
She nodded fondly ,falling for him all over again , everything was perfect till the door opened and prisca walked in. She looked ready for flight but seeing that Alice had already seen her stepped in quietly.
" Alright love I will call you late, kisses " She blew a kiss at him through the screen.
" Are you okay? " He had seen her frown slightly.
" Yes my love, a boyfriend snatcher is here I would fill you in later " .
" Okay I love you stay safe and I will call you " .
" I love you too my love " She replied holding the phone close to her chest even after cutting the line.
Alice took one more look at herself satisfied with her appearance she made for the door but prisca's words stopped her. " Alice please wait " .
" What do you want "? Starring at her closely prisca looked exhausted and pale.
" Please Alice I'm sorry please forgive me, your fans are after my life please " .
Alice figured she's asking for forgiveness because of the reproach she was receiving from people " Were you ever gonna tell me you were screwing Troy behind my back? Gawwwd I treated you like a friend."
" I'm sorry " She was crying now.
" No you are not, you are just sorry you got caught " .
" You had everything Alice the boyfriend , body, money, beauty everyone loved you. I felt envious and when Troy made advances at me I figured I was finally being seen and appreciated " .
" Oh wow I guess you did me a big favour because Troy is piece of shit and an ass hole, in fact you two deserve each other. Enjoy each other to the fullest you have my blessings " She muttered walking out on her while wondering the reason everyone presumed her life was perfect.
