Episode 9
Just like any other day again, we wake up by the sound of the alarm and face our various duties. Iâve spent almost a year in this place and Iâm not looking forward to completing the remaining months I have in this place. my duty today was not too stressful so I had already finished before anyone else. I went to the gardens and I smiled at the thought of Dave. my heart beats raised at the thought of him and I couldnât get the smile of my face.
âwhat are you thinking of?â a voice said and I jolted.
I turned around to see Mary.
âoh itâs youâ I smiled.
âwho are you thinking ofâ she asked again.
âno oneâ I lied
âeh, thereâs no reason to deny it. it written all over your faceâ she smiled. âi know itâs Daveâ she added more like a whisper
âno itâs notâ I said
âI know you like him. I saw you two yesterday. how you both walked together, oh it was so romanticâ she said
I smiled and remained silent
âsee, I knew you like him and I think he also likes youâ she said
âhey, donât go that far, he only sees me as a friendâ I said
âyeah, relationship donât just start, it begins from âjust a friend’â she smiled
I hit her playfully and we both laughed together. we heard a cough from behind and we saw Stacy.
Mary stood up immediately and bowed her head. I stood up and looked at her but didnât bow.
âleave usâ she said to Mary.
I looked at Mary and smiled, then she left.
âis there a problemâ I asked her
âno, not at all. I just happen to hear all you chit chatsâ she smiled âso you do like Daveâ she asked.
I wasnât ready to trust anyone in this family. even if she was different I couldnât take chances, she could be a bait.
âjust as a friendâ I said
âitâs okay you can trust meâ she smiled a little.
I remained silent for a while.
âI think I doâ I smiled slightly
âseriously, thatâs actually amazingâ she smiled.
I smiled.
âwell I could hook you guys upâ she said
âno donâtâ I told her
âwhy notâ she asked
I donât want to get into trouble with your fatherâ I said.
âoh I forgot about that. Iâm sorryâ she said
âno itâs okayâ I said
âanyways, tell me how did you meet himâ she asked
I explained everything and we laughed together, she also told me she liked him once but not anymore. At least this day was better since Mr and Mrs Frank and their son are not around. the house was peaceful. everyone had freedom for a while.
Later at night, while everyone was asleep, I couldnât sleep because I was happy and I kept on thinking about Dave. I did like Dave but I donât think he has feelings for me. I spoke freely with Stacy and I am happy it was okay. I really wish all days were like this. later I dosed off and slept comfortably.
