Natasha and Selene meeting were filled with story sharing of their lives, their conversations were filled with laughter and smiles, 2 mild mannered women, elegantly talking with each other's at the side of the road. Clearly the 2 had so many to talked about, but if one were to looked at them closely, one can see which on is truly happy and which were reserved. Nearing the end of their conversations, Selene were presented with a shocking proposition, by Natasha, that left her befuddled and astound.
"Selene …I am not joking nor I am uncertain about my intentions …we go a long way, and I know that you are a good woman …I also knows that deep down, your dreams are still there …". (Natasha)
"I …I don't know what to say, Natasha …still dreamed about my deepest desire everyday ….and, hearing your story I too want to have the same experience that you have …But, you know about my burden, correct? …and I don't want to have anyone carrying that burden as well …". (Selene)
Both of them is matured adult, with sound mind and clear intentions, Natasha express what she wanted and Selene also did not hide her envy and desires, it was a decision that would surely a life changing one.
"You don't have to answer me now …just think about it for a while …me and Azra will be here a lot …so you have time to decide carefully about my invitation ….no burden at all, okay …anyway it was nice meeting you again Selene …see you again~". (Natasha)
Kindly Natasha warmly embraced Selene, before walking away from Selene, returning back to her family truck whilst waving at Selene, Selene kept looking at Natasha back as she walked away, Natasha proposition sure are shocking and quite a lot to take in, but it is not without a reason. As Natasha started to loading the truck with an Automaton, a Handsome man, slick short cut black hair paired with a neatly trimmed beard, his body is just were perfectly muscular from top to bottom as if his body were a marble statue that chiseled to perfections. Although the man, were walking limping and using a cane to walk, this does not diminish his charm at all.
Under Selene careful observation, the man was calm and steady, Natasha noticing the man, smiled widely and helped him lean on the truck and talked to him, she then turned towards Selene and pointed at her, with that the Man, nodded his head and waved at Selene with a smile on his face. Now both Selene and the man are finally seeing eye to eye, Selene finally knows who the man was.
"So…that was Azra …. he really has changed ….". (Selene)
Walking away to the Town gate, Selene inwardly has a lot to think, sure enough the Azra that he just saw, just now is a changed man, not only his demeanor and vibes that he put out, but also his appearance, the man is no longer a bum.

After the meeting with Robert and Philips ended, I head back to our truck, as I slowly walked to the truck, I saw Natasha smiling happily as she walked to the truck from somewhere. So, when I arrived, I asked her, what made she smiled like that, and it turns out that she met with her old friend.
"Your friend? …oh, I remember that you once told me that you have an old friend here …".
"Yes, she is still working as a Scavenger …we talked a little bit, I am happy that she is still doing well ….and alive …. there she is, Azra look... that is my old Friend, Selene …". (Natasha)
Natasha pointed at her friend, Selene on the other side of the road and waved at her, seeing her that bubbly, I too waved at Selene, that is until I saw what Selene looked like, she looked identical to a female of a vampire movies that I actually adored, and she is also wearing a tight black leather bodysuit as well, heavily armed with a Cybernetic right arm. She is very attractive, a matured elegant beauty with thick body type that is curvaceous seductively.
"…. She is quite a beauty…".
"I know that you would like her…". (Natasha)
Natasha smirk at my honest remarks of her friend.
"I said that because, a beauty would always hang together …naturally, Nat …you are more beautiful and loveable in my eyes~ Chup~…".
"Hmmm~ …Chuup~ …. Stop it~ …we are in the public, Honey …". (Natasha)
To avoid making Natasha mood ruined and offended, as always, I diverted the topic smoothly, with a bold PDA, Natasha was pleased and also shy. Which means I have successful saved myself.
"Alright… let's go home …I got good news to be discussed at home...".
"Okay …". (Natasha)
Driving at night time and in the Wasteland, to others this might be a dangerous and highly risky things to do. But for us, the night driving although have its danger, it also helped keeping our home a secret. No one can tail us when we moved back at nighttime, turns out, we don't have to wait long to pique others interest in our merchandise, it only took them 2 days. Some ill intention Scavenger group, and Merchant groups who coveted our profits and resource, tried to find out where we come from. It got to a point, where they even mobilized their own vehicles, motorcycle and even cars.
But their vehicles are not up to the task, it is because unlike our trucks that were only made to look old and rusted, theirs are actually old and rusted, and above all, they got no lights to be able to move around at night, paired with their dying engine. All that I had to do, is just press the pedal to the floor, and takes them on a round trip all over the outskirts of Jouston City, and in a few dozen minutes, they lose us and we can safely head back home. Since then, we would only head back home, at night time, and with that no one had ever tried to tail us.
"Screeech!! …Alfred, Open the gate …".
"[Gate is opened, Sir...]". Alfred
About 3 days ago, after we started our business, everyday as we go and back from Station Ail and Wail, I also collecting a lot of wrecked and abandoned cars that, I come across. And as a result, Our Star Gas Station, has finally had a perimeter wall, and an electronic sliding gate. Alfred installed the gate, sure the wall is just a lot of stacked cars, but it encompasses our entire base. In terms of safety, we are already midway there. At the very least, Mutant Animal would steer clear from our base.
As always when we got home, both me and Natasha immediately head to clean ourselves, the feeling of being clean is already an addictive sensation to Natasha, after all, we can now afford to be a little bit wasteful with water and do as we please. As always Natasha went off to the kitchen to prepare for our dinner, Alfred is also busy managing the inventory and also preparing all the heavy work around the base. As for me, I am currently at the living room putting together our profits and checking everything. As always, our income is always stayed at 1000 coins, this is a cap that I have carefully set and maintain.
Our stall, will always sell 100 Burger sets priced at 3 coins each, 400 pieces of Sourdough Bread, and 200 liters of Mineral waters both priced at 1 coin each. So that is 1000 coins in total, this is our daily stock and it would always sell out, which is something that I always felt happy that it turned out this way. In a single day, I can already settle by old debt at Rat Town, which is something that I want to do later, when we go there, to possibly opened another store there.
"Honey, how's our profits for today?". (Natasha)
"Well, as always …we earned another 1000 coins …I think, it was time for us to start with the bartering trading …we got more popularity now ….and sure enough a lot of people wanted to eat our product…doing it now, would surely make our business become even popular …".
