“Now we are on the same page, we need to discuss on the time we should kiss, I am thinking morning, afternoon and evening, that is if you are down for it,” I said oblivious of how this relationship thing worked, we weren’t in any sort of relationship still.I made him speechless as Zach chuckled at my Innocence, “Do we need days or time to kiss? I believe we can do it anytime, as long as you want it,” he dragged me closer, “Even now,” he said in a whisper.I push him away, “Pleqse be serious, I don’t intend on us being together though I don’t hate the idea, I am simply objecting to it,” I said plainly as I tried to explain for his better understanding.Zach took it with a nod, “No strings attached, you mean?”“Right! We are on the same page,” I reacted and Zach shrugged, “I am fine with whatever you choose,” he said as his smile faded.As we approached the village, almost all of the huts had engulfed in flames.“Where have you two been?” Mark asked immediately he saw us, I left it for

EVEThere was a sudden shift; it was as if the world sped quickly before my eyes and went fast forward. I was back in the plane, sitting beside Raghul; it was just as if all that I had witnessed didn’t just happen.“I don’t think we should be traveling with a baby,” Raghul said beside me as he held Gavin with him.“Mhmm,” I replied, and my face showed a bit of confusion. These days, there are just things I don’t understand anymore.I know I have been warned to be wary but wary of what?The Inyoka herself? I already met her and it didn’t seem like she did much or is it the next Inyoka who has already been born to take over from me?What is even going on?It was very concerning, but then my attention drifted to the announcement that was made on the plane about us making a landing and how they couldn't go on due to bad weather conditions.I looked over at Zach and Mark, who were seated unbothered. Of course, I wasn’t expecting either of them to remember anything, but they were all there,

I sat cross-legged on my sofa, humming melodiously to a song I wrote and composed. It was titled Sounds of Torment and fit into what Raghul was passing through.He was distressed, and the only way he could relieve himself was by pacing back and forth through the house. Though I was supposed to take things seriously, as he claimed, Raghul makes it harder when he acts like this.“You know, we should count ourselves lucky that we have a week to figure this out,” I said, trying to at least make him feel relaxed; he was worrying himself too much.My interference didn’t hold anything as Raghul continued to be paranoid. “We have nothing; we basically have nothing!” He rang it into my ear.“Watch over Gavin; I am going to go for a nap.” I sighed as I headed to the room.I locked the door, climbed into bed, and slept off. I was so deep in my sleep that I didn’t realize Raghul had been consistently knocking on the door to say how much I needed it from his constant rambling.With grumbling

Eve“Give me all of my royalties, that is what I am demanding,” I requested very subtly, trying my best not to reveal that I was at the very peak of my anger.The owner of the publishing company I once used to work for, paid deaf ears tomy demands despite me threatening to sue.“Go ahead! We have evidence to prove your breach of contract, it is not like it is our fault that you had to sabotage yourself, we are in a lot of mess because of you!” He sounded off, “We have had to downsize because we can’t afford to pay off most of our workers next month,”“And how is that any of my business?” I asked, I paused before laughing as something had clicked in me, “So you buffoons relied heavily on me, to fund your bills, no wonder you are scrambling for my scraps,” “Leave before I call security,” Oliver said, he repeated himself again and I hissed, “You are sounding redundant, I heard you the first time… Still, I won’t be leaving till I am paid what your company owes me,”“We have nothing to of

~EVE~ I drove to the location. I had forcefully gotten from Oliver; he didn’t want to give, so I did the impossible. Any way, it is a story for another day and one that he will remember for a lifetime. I pressed on the bell several times for a response and began to doubt the location given when no one came to answer the door. I am going to kill for real this time. “Hello,” suddenly a middle aged woman came up at the front door to answer. I smiled. I lifted my head to see her properly, as my hat covered most of my face. “Hi, Miss Eve Faye, I am Pamela’s very good friend,” I said, and the woman in front of me answered instantly, “Pamela did not have friends; you are at the wrong house.” She slammed the door in my face, leaving me utterly stunned. I didn’t leave; rather, I stood there and became the most annoying, pestering person ever on the godforsaken planet. I rang the bell countless times till I knew she was pissed. “Miss, I will call the police on you if you do not l

EveDid I wait like he told me to? Of course I did. Like an idiot, I sat on that chair waiting for him to return, my legs were out of place as they continued to shake. When he walked in afterwards I had a better look on the woman he was with and it was that Police lady that I saw the last time they were talking with Rachel’s friends.“Hey,” Zach said in a soft voice as he sat next to me, “I wasn’t expecting you to come over to my work place for our afternoon kiss,” Zach grinned, he was oblivious to the fact I wasn’t pleased with him in anyway.“When something is mine, I don’t like sharing,” I said and again he smiled like he was just this happy fellow that still thinks I am referring to kisses.“I am a little busy right now, there was crime that occurred at the club downtown, I have been instructed to go check it out,” Zach told me as he stood up, “I will come see you when I am done,”“Arent you busy with Rachel’s case? Why add another?” I inquired deciding to drop my small momen

~EVE~Modern dayI sat in the back seat of my convertible, right in an insufferable dress that held me to the point of suffocation, my face palmed with frustration.Pamela knocked on the tinted glass window as I rolled it down for her. “Hello everyone,” Pamela greeted with a sharp smile. Looking in my direction, I could see the bizarre look on her face, staring deeply at my black dress and fascinator on my head as the net covered my entire face. She sank in her breath, not hiding her dislike that I was dressed up for a funeral rather than my long awaited book signing. “Eve,” she called with gritted teeth, “You look wonderful; I am sure you are as excited for your book fair as we are.”I was unperturbed by her brightness as I replied in a strained tone, “I am drowning in misery, Pamela; the corset I am wearing is like a bone meant to break through my rib cage; my lungs are screaming and want out; my feet hurt like a bunch of nails piercing me on them, so yay, you can guess I am excite

~E V E~Seeing the happiness on that woman’s face as she held her son tightly made my stomach turn, because as she was relieved that her son was safe, I, on the other hand, was drowning in misery.The police officer, who looked around his mid-twenties and was seemingly proud of his job, carefully examined Gabriel. “Thank you so much, officer, for helping me in search of my son,” Gabriel’s mother thanked him.“Not a problem, ma’am; I am very happy to help.” The officer said with a heartwarming smile, which made me cringe. There is no way he loved his job this much; he was clearly faking it. “I see Gabriel is perfectly alright,” he added.“Alright?” This woman, who has now taken the hand of her daughter again, questioned, She just won’t get off my back, will she? “Miss, I suggest you file a report against this lady here,” she eyed me with spite. “This lady here pushed your son to the ground and made sure he stayed there while mocking him; I saw it happen,” the woman reported.Oh for hea
