"Wait a second man," Dave suddenly grabbed his brother’s arm and pulled to a stop. "I don't think he would appreciate us getting our noses in his business."
Brett eyed his brother and rolled his eyes. Though only a few people could tell them apart because of how closely they resembled each other, their personalities were nothing alike in many aspects. A significant one being that Brett was swift to make his mind up, whereas Dave was quick to change his mind.
"Look, it's fine if you've changed your mind. I can't hold that against you and I'm willing to do this alone."
"Well, I guess it's decided," Dave said with a shrug. Brett patted him on the shoulder twice and walked off in the direction of the elevator.
"You better remember that I wanted to do this as much as you," Dave shouted after Brett who s

Contrary to the stereotype that men are naturally disorderly, Oliver was surprisingly quite the opposite. He didn't drink juices directly from the containers but poured himself a glass instead, always moped the floor when he spilled something and even went as far as offering to hoover the house on some days. Anelia was glad that she didn't have to tell him what to do and what not to around the house. So, it went without saying that she didn't have to avoid him as their living arrangement was pretty comfortable, just as they all were around each other. It also went without saying that Natie was all for the arrangement, he was her class teacher after all and it looked like he didn't mind all the extra questions she always asked him. Simply put, Anelia couldn't have asked for a better tenant. &

Weeks flew by and things in the Telford household slowly shifted back to normal. Oliver decided to stay, and their conversations became less robotic and dry. Less forced. Things gradually eased back to what had been their normal, asides from Oliver's occasional guardedness that although Anelia found rather cute, she hoped he would sooner lose it than later. It was Saturday and Oliver had flown over to see his parents. That meant it was just her and Natie for the weekend. Macy had finally forced her to take her off days that Anelia had for so long been procrastinating to claim. That meant it was either they spent the whole day in the house or they chose to go out.Anelia knew one thing for sure, she much preferred being out there surrounded by the buzz of people than being stuck at home with her thoughts doing a party in her mind. Which was why they were going to the movies to watch Frozen 2, upon Natie's request. "Nat, are you done?" Anelia spoke over her shoulder, not sure if Natie

It was six in the evening when the car screeched to a stop near a small cafe in the outskirts of town. The taxi driver had tried to get her to converse, but Anelia had been too busy thinking about the preposterousness of her actions to really engage in the conversation."Be safe now!" The woman shouted, as Anelia stepped on the curb. "Thanks?" Anelia spoke loudly, although it came out as a question. Was the apprehension she was feeling internally so perfectly drawn on her face that the woman had felt obligated to wish her safe.Without another word from the drover, the taxi drove off and there was no way back now. It was too late to go back now. She had taken the bait and travelled so far away to get some answers.Anelia rubbed her palms on her jeans and unlocked her phone. There was no message to direct her any further, so she waited. She had barely taken a step in the direction of the cafe when the familiar tone of her phone signalling an incoming phone call rang."Yes?" She answer

Two pairs of sharp eyes stared at each other. One of the two were encompassed by wrinkles that crinkled deeply when the owner was in a merry mood, one that she currently was not in. The other pair that closely resembled hers, in that they were an extremely piercing pair of orbs that could not be bullied into casting their gaze down, continued to stare back at her.“Should we not intervene?” The most talkative of the twins said in a voice that was close to a whisper. Brett’s only response happened to be a sardonic smile. Of all the people present in the room, he happened to find great amusement in the situation at hand.As if Mrs Hally, their grandmother, finally registered the words that Dave had quietly uttered to his twin, she turned her eyes to him. “I’m most disappointed in you two,” she said pointedly in the direction of Dave and Brett. “Your brother has always been stubborn and difficult to deal with, but I’ve always counted on you two to balance out those very characteristics

Anelia found herself ruefully appreciating the importance of her eyesight, especially now that she was blindfolded and had no way of ripping off the piece of clothing covering her eyes.It was eerily quiet and all the twisting and turning she had done in the past hour, in hopes of somehow freeing herself had only served to bruise her wrists. Stubbornly, she twisted her wrists again and moaned at the pain that shot up her arm.Stilling, she took a large gulp of air and bit down on her lip. Hours ago, her life had been perfectly normal and she had enjoyed every little second of it. Well, that as wasn’t entirely true. The thought alone brought a wave of sadness that settled over the crevices of her heart and tightened.To say that she had tried her hardest to be merry, to spend as much time with her newfound family at the restaurant and with Natie would be understatement. She had been working harder than was necessary to take her mind off Dexter, to no avail. If anything, thoughts of hi

He was calm, cool and utterly composed as he walked down the remaining steps. If anything, he seemed to have walked in the middle of a very a boring play. His eyes finally shifted towards Freda after they had scanned her entire body and Anelia glimpsed the facade breaking for a mere second. In the next second, his features were schooled and it was if as she had imagine that crack.“You have been busy, Freda,” Dexter drawled, looking up at the stage with a lazy gaze. He twisted to look at the hall around him. “And fantastic choice of a hiding place, by the way. I never would have taken you for the sort to know of such dilapidated places.”Freda paced across the stage, the knife shining under the large beam of light she and Anelia were both under. “Why, thank you. And this,” she said, gesturing to the entire building. “Was my favourite place to hang around in my younger years. But, of course you never knew that because you never bothered to know me. But that’s all in the past. What’s im

"Take me home," Anelia murmured in a voice that was devoid of feeling. She had spoken the very same words over an hour ago, when she had been more than pliant in his warm embrace and overcome with heat. Except the spoken words now lacked the same enthusiasm that had previously been present in them. Between their shared moment of passion which stood to remind her that all attempts to forget Dexter disintegrated to moot the second he kissed her, and waiting while Dexter explained everything to the police as soon as they arrived on scene; finding her wrapped in his arms and clinging onto him like a vice (much to her mortification), it was safe to say Anelia had sobered up. Add on the fact that while she had been deep in her thoughts, she didn't pay attention to the direction Dexter was steering his car in, only looking up at the familiar La Vida that was illuminated by a glowy colour one couldn't miss from a mile away.Dexter had ignored her protests and taken a hold of her hand like he
