Making Past Perfect Chapter 26
As Alice stirred from her dream, she realized the voice calling out "Mama" wasn't coming from Leonora, but from somewhere else in the darkness. She sat up, her heart pounding with a mix of confusion and dread. Slowly, she turned her head, expecting to see Leonora awake and calling out to her again. But instead, she found herself facing the shadowy figure of a woman standing at the edge of the room."Mama, help me," the voice pleaded, echoing through the darkness.Alice's breath caught in her throat as she recognized the voice of Leonida. She blinked in disbelief, trying to make sense of what she was seeing. Leonida had passed away, yet here she was, standing before her, her features shrouded in darkness."L-Leonida?" Alice whispered, her voice trembling with uncertainty.Leonida stepped closer, her form flickering like a ghostly apparition. "Alice, my dear, you must help me," she said, her voice filled with urgency.Alice's mind reeled with disbelief. Was this real, or was she still t
Making Past Perfect Chapter 1
It is just another ordinary day for almost everybody but it is different for Alice Meyers. Today, December 21, 2020, is her eighteenth birthday. She can finally move out of her parent’s house and live on her own. She saved enough money doing part-time jobs as a commercial model or an extra in some movies. She doesn’t have a lot of real friends, just acquaintances or people who want to be close to her but don’t let them in her life. Johnson Taylor and Odette Sanchez are what she can call her childhood friends. The three of them have known each other since they were five and attended the same school. Alice is not the friendly type because she feels that she is different from them and they would think that she is weird when they learned about her real personality. In her point of view, she is a freak who has extrasensory perception. Aside from that, she can make things happen if she is too emotional. Her only two friends don’t know anything about this. “Happy birthday!” Her

Alice heard his thoughts while she quickly ran to the bathroom. She splashed her face with cold water thinking about what she saw in her vision. She can see what will happen but she doesn’t know when will it happen. ‘I don’t have to tell him about this. He might think I am a freak!’ she said to herself. She calmed down and went out of the bathroom with a smiling face even if her mind was in turmoil. “I’m sorry, it must be the alcohol. I suddenly felt that I needed to vomit.” She said embarrassedly knowing that she was lying through her teeth. “Well, why don’t you come here and let’s have some star-gazing, we’ll just go home later.” Johnson patted the space on the bed beside him. “Okay.” She lay on the bed beside him and stared at the galaxy through the glass roof of the room. “Get some rest first, then we will leave later.” They stared at the sky in comfortable silence while lying on the bed. Alice is always amazed at the movement of the moon, stars, and clouds. She felt that s

Johnson is already waiting for Odette and Alice when they arrive at the house where the three of them would live. He already said goodbye to his parents earlier that morning so he was the first one to move into the house. Odette got out of her car first and got her suitcase from the trunk. “It is good to have a very rich friend! Now we don’t have to pay for rent!” she said loudly to Alice. “Hey, who said that you are not going to shell out money?” since I am providing the house rent-free, the two of you should take care of the food every day and the utilities and other bills, hahaha!” “No problem, we will provide you with everything else.” Alice told Johnson. She doesn’t have a credit card yet but she has a lot of money in her savings account that she can use, it is linked to a debit card. She doesn’t have plans of getting a credit card, she can always use her debit cards. Among the three friends, none of them were short on money. Although Odette’s family is big, her parents al

“Hey guys, dinner will be ready in a few minutes!” Johnson shouted from the kitchen. He is preparing the vegetable salad and buffalo wings with garlic butter sauce. He also prepared a beverage made of fresh fruits that he put in a blender. The mention of the food made Alice’s mouth water in an instant. She realized that they had not eaten anything during the time that they went shopping and buying groceries. She went out of the room and decided to help Johnson prepare dinner. She set out the plates on the table and sat on the dining chair while watching her friend cook the buffalo wings. “It smells delicious!” Odette came out of her room and headed straight into the kitchen. “What is it that you are cooking?” she asked. “It’s for me to know and for you to find out!” Johnson smirked. He knew that whatever he cooks, it will be delicious. It is like an inborn talent for him. He can easily cook from scratch and it will still taste as if you have eaten in a fine dining restaurant.

“Why do you feel so nervous?” Johnson asked. “If it’s another man, I wouldn’t feel so shy but you are like a brother to me. Of course, that would be awkward at first.” Alice said defensively. “What? You would rather kiss a stranger?!” he said incredulously. “It’s not what I mean!” she exclaimed. “It’s just that those actors are just co-workers for me and I guess they are used to those kinds of scenes but you are different!” She can’t look into his eyes. “Oh, it’s like you are saying I am special?” Johnson asked her. “Of course! You and Odette are special to me since we have known each other all our lives!” she blurted. ‘I know your secrets but you don’t know mine yet.’ She thought sadly. “I see.” Even if Johnson is not really happy with her answer, he is excited about helping Alice to practice especially the romantic scenes. They continued practicing and during the last kissing scene, Johnson got carried away and kissed Alice for several minutes. It seems that Alice got car

“Okay let’s go.” He said while guiding her to where the van is. His manager just glanced at them. He is used to Corey bringing girls inside his van to ease the boredom while waiting for the shooting of his next scene. As long as the girls are not clingy and will ruin his career, that would be fine for him. Once Odette and Corey entered the van, Odette was instantly amazed. “Oh, this is so cool! I love customized vehicles! It looks like a home away from home.” She said and noticed that the bed on the back of the van looked so comfortable. Corey followed her and said, “It is very convenient to have that, especially if the set of the movie will be far away or while waiting for the shooting of my next scene. Do you want to try it?” he headed to bed. “Sure!” she was flattered and immediately sat on the bed beside Corey. When Corey lay on the bed, he prompted her to lie beside him. “Try to feel how comfortable it is.” He patted the space beside him. “It is easier to chat while we are
Making Past Perfect Chapter 7
Alice woke from the noise outside the house, there’s the sound of a rooster giving everyone a warning that it was already dawn. She sat up on the bed and felt a slight headache. She realizes that she is sitting on a bunk bed made of bamboo wood and beside her is Odette still sleeping. Johnson is also sleeping on the other side of the room lying on a single bed also made of bamboo wood. “What the…!” she looked at herself and saw that she was wearing an old printed skirt reaching her mid-calf and a cotton blouse with a round neck design. She looked at Odette and she was wearing the same design as her outfit. When she saw Johnson, he was wearing a shirt that looked like a polo shirt without a collar and old trousers. She looked around and instead of her room, she found that they were in a different room and it was made of wood as well. She heard people talking outside the room. “I am afraid that the Japanese will occupy the whole country and the Americans can’t do anything about it.” a
