"Stacy!" I scream I stare at her in horror.Her head is on the counter and her arms hung limply either side of her."Holy shit." I gasp, rushing to her as I see blood dripping down from her wrist. She had slit her wrist. I raise her head up and her eyes are barely close. Oh God!, I'm panicky already. I rush out as tears fill in my eyes.Why the hell did Stacy do that to herself!. I shakily dial Ben's line. He picks up imediately."B–Ben!, I n-eed you to come to the second floor right away!" I stutter into the phone and hung up."Heaven's please let her be fine!." I blurt out as I rush outside the door. I'm close to loosing it already. He arrived soon and we rushed back into the kitchen.He doesn't look shocked to see her in this condition. He checks her pulse."Relax ma'am she's still alive." He"Thank goodness!, quick lets help her to the hospital please!." He nods, carried her bridal I style and walk out of the room. I hastily shut her door and follow him out.We arrived at the hosp
Lesley leans on the counter as she fix lunch, consisting of bacon, toast and coffee. Her thinking was of Gary. He had earlier called and said he wont be coming till the next day. She had actually tried to hold back her frustration..Its obvious she was missing him. She served breakfast and took it to the dinning table. Hazel joined her and they eat up. Hazel couldn't help but notice how withdrawn she looked. When she was done, she dropped her fork and gulped down a cup of juice."Lesley? How about we play hide n seek?" Hazel started. Lesley shook her head almost immediately."Sorry Hazel, but I don't feel like it."A pout played on her lips."What's the matter with you Lesley, you've been awfully quiet since!." Hazel voice out in exasperation." Ite probably because stacy is still hospitalized." Lesley shoved her hand into her hair. Is it really because of stacy, or Gary?. Hazel face fell."She would be alright Lesley.... c'mon let's go downstairs and meet up with the maids. They are
Lesley ran her hands through her hair as her eyes travel across the large park. Gary took out his phone and punched in a number. Stacy and Lesley discarded the cups of ice cream in a bin. Gary spoke into his phone and hung up."Oh Lord!, she was right beside me. I–I was holding her hand before she.... pulled them out of mine." Lesley stutter. She was almost loosing it."Calm down brunnie.... could be she wandered away". He didn't seem bothered or perturbed about it. Stacy holds Lesley palm and squeezed at it."Lesley try not to panic, as long as he is around nothing's gonna happen." Lesley nod as they wait close to a man displaying kid toys.She kept biting her lip as she looked at every kid that passed by. Yet no sign of Hazel.what if she has been kidnapped?. What if she has wandered away and was now lost. what if she has wandered out of the park and was crossing the busy roads. So many 'what ifs' brainstormed her mind as she prayed silently for Hazel to be fine.She hung her hea
I literally zone out the moment Gary asks me the questions I never expected. I gulp nothing and bat my lashes. My knees go weak immediately."H-huh?" I stutter nervously. A deep frown sets on his face."Yeah brunnie, I'm dating you so it's normal to know about my g-." The beeping of his phone cuts him short. For a moment he delibrated on ignoring it but he pulls it out to stare at the caller"Shit!.... why now." He cusses and rubs his face. I hold my breath, praying this should be the end of the conversation."I've got to take this brunnie. Give me some minutes." I nod as he walk out of the room."Fuck.... that was damn close!" I breathe out. I plonk down the bed and hold my head in my palms. Shit!, this is messed up!. I've got to be careful next time.I don't wanna have any damn reminder of my past. It's in the past, and will always be. I've got a life now. Sighing, I get off the bed and heed out to the living room to join Stacy and Hazel.GARY GAUTHIER'S POV"Fuck simon!, did
"What the fuck!." I mutter under my breath as I stare at the center table. A single rose flower lay on it, alongside a card and a box of chocolates. I looked around fearfully. The weren't here the whole time!. I make my way to the kitchen and turn on the lights, No one. I retrace my steps and rush to my door. I open the door and look down the hallway. One of Gary's men is leaning on the wall. I motion for him to come. "Umm, how long have you been here?" I ask, trying to hide the tension in my voice. "I came up seven minutes ago, anything the problem miss?." He knots his brows. I purse my lip and shook my head."No, I'm fine thanks." I shut the door and threw in the dead bolts. I lean against it my heart pounding furiously. who would come in here to drop theses, without even the slightest noise. I walk over to my window and look down. The person couldn't have come through the window. it's too high. I close the shutter and walk slowly to the table. I look down at the items, I
I pull away from Gary moments later, emerging all dressed up. Gary already has his close on and is sitting close to the glass wall. I joined him on the couch. He hands me a cup of wine which I sipped at slowly. "Brunnie, What do you say about that?" I took a deep breath. I've been quiet around him ever since he asked me those questions. "Umm, yeah sure It ain't a big deal". He scooped closer to me. "Hey." I looked up at him and smile. He smiled back affectionately.."Do you love me?" I paused. Do I really love him?. He's been so nice and caring to me I couldn't ask for more. I leaned into the couch and sigh "That's a pretty dumb question to ask Gary." I roll my eyes and he chuckles."I guess that answers my question then" He chug down the wine in his glass and placed it on the table. "C'mon, let's go meet Hazel, I don't want her barging in her and seeing what her eyes isn't supposed to see". I laugh and drop the glass of wine back on the table.We went back to his apartment. Ha
"Fr—Francis?" I mutter under my breath. A sly smile spreads on his face. "Hey sexy, I bought you a rose flower, it's red and a symbol of love." He walks slowly towards me. I stay rooted to my stop unable to move. "And I bought you some tasty chocolates, you'd love them." He is close to me now. He looks down at me. I hold the towel firmly."Did you receive all the presents I kept for you or you discarded them." He leaned down to me and our face were inches apart. "Francis what the hell are you doing here!." I blurt out, more in fear than anger. water dribble down my chest. He narrows his eyes to slits as he glanced at my wet figure. "I thought you were never gonna ask.." He smirks evily. Now I'm out to freak out. He lifts his hand with the flower and trail the flower down my wet face. I close my eyes and shiver in fear."what are you doing!." I take a step back, heart pounding loudly. I know I should scream but I can't find my voice. He smirks and continue trailing the flowe
I fix breakfast and minutes later we sit at thr table to eat. Gary kept stealing glances at me."Dad, it's a week to chirstmas you know." Hazel says. Gary took a bite from his steak."Yeah princess, I donkmoe." She tucked her hair back."Aren't we gonna go for shopping?." Gary groans."Isn't it better we order for everything than roaming in some dumb shopping mall!" Hazel scrunched her mouth into a pout."It's more fun when you shop dad, isn't it Lesley?." I shrug not willing to join in the chat."Yeah I know it's fun for you cos you're gonna wander away." Hazel giggles."Dad!, don't tell me you're still angry I left you guys in the park the other time." I chuckle lowly. "I'm not princess, but that won't repeat itself again." Hazel gives me a nudge with her foot under the table. Yeah smart ass, she wants me to convince him."C'mon it's just for shopping, and she's not gonna get lost cos it's a mall." Gary drew back his chair and dabs his mouth with a napkin."Yeah sure s
