Gabriella was at a lost on what to do..She stared blankly at Eleana and couldn't muster any other words, no one would blame her as she hadn't seen or talk to Eleana for three years now."Hey, I know that you are really surprised and probably shocked to see me but it's really cold out here in the rain, so if you don't mind........", Eleana said shivering in the rain."Gabby? Gabby?". Eleana called as she touched her.Coming to her senses, Gabriella finally responded; "Yeah, yeah, get in".A deafening silence reign inside the car as it moved forward and only the patter hit of the rain on the glass numbed the silence for Eleana. Eleana kept on staring at her friend. She was clad in casual wear, a pair of blue jeans and a white top and she donned a white cap.. Her light brown hair sitting gently on her shoulders and there's that, the thing she missed most, the dimples on those cheeks that shows with every little facial expression. Eleana didn't realise she missed her friend this much un
Eleana came out of the room all dressed but couldn't find Gabriella anywhere. "Gabby?, Gabby?". She called out her friend's name but didn't receive any response .Could she have left? Why didn't she let me know?. Eleana then walked to the living room and found a note on the table:"Didn't wanna disturb you so I left after tidying up, food is in the kitchen as you know and you can check the fridge if you want any juice or fruit to go with that. You will see a blue card and a yellow card on the table. The yellow card is a pass, you would need it since you are going to be staying here for a while , it is for non residents in the estate. The other card is a credit card the password is 2345, use it to get anything you want and don't worry, you can pay me back later. Have fun.. PS: I ordered for a cell phone and a registered sim for you , so that jerk can't contact you. It will arrive at 12 noon or early. Love, Gabby. [Sigh] you're always full of surprises Gabby. Eleana dished her foo
Eleana tried calling the Diamen's house telephone again hoping someone might pick up the phone. It rang a few times before it was answered. "Hello, who is this?". A chirpy voice sounded from the cell. When Eleana heard that voice it felt like it's been ages since she last spoke to her children, she didn't realized she missed them this much. "Hey baby". Eleana said in a whisper like voice. "Mommy....?". Georgina asked not that sure. "Yes baby, it's mommy". Eleana said as she burst into teary laughter. "Mommyyyyyy". Georgina shrieked. "How are you mommy? Have you eaten? Where are you now?". "Haha, slow down baby. I am fine and yes I have eaten, right now I'm staying with a friend. What about you? and Belle?". "We're good. Grandma made pasta for us and baby belle couldn't stop eating, her clothes were stained with sauce and even at that she didn't stop eating and also we finished designing the princess house and grandma was surprised at how fast we were and also........." Georgi
Two freshly cooked plates of jollof rice garnished with slices of tomato and cucumber with a piece of chicken on it and a plate of salad was the sight that greeted Gabriella when she walked into the dinner room while following the aroma that assaulted her nostrils as she stepped foot inside the house. "Hmmmmmm, this is the advantage of having someone else in the house", without taking off any of her clothes Gabriella sat on one side of the table and began devouring this sumptuous meal while moaning in sweetness. "You could not wait to ask for who cooked the food before jumping on it like an angry lion that haven't eaten for days". Eleana said with a laugh as she walked into the room holding a jug of pineapple juice. Gabriella paused and looked up with a guilty expression as she chewed slowly on the piece of meat in her mouth. She gulped and dropped the spoon in her hand then stood up, walked quickly to Eleana and gave her a big hug and a peck on the cheek. "Thank you my darling f
DIAMEN'S OIL FACTORY. Inside An Office: The tension in the air was so thick it could be cut with a knife as three individuals stood behind a huge mahogany desk with their heads bowed in front of an angry Dane. The words CEO Dane Diamen could be seen written boldly on the glass tag. Crash!!!!!!! The sound of Dane throwing a glass cup against the wall resounded round the room."You incompetent fools", his voice, which was laced with anger and detest was like a whip against their ear. "You couldn't find just one stupid woman who has no means of hiding for more than twenty-four hours and now you have the guts to come tell me she is impossible to find, what am I paying you for!!!!??". The three couldn't help but grumble internally, today was supposed to be their off day and their work wasn't in the investigation area. "Um, boss, we aren't professionals and the time frame you gave us was too little coupled with the fact that she hasn't used her mobile phone so there is no way to tra
Andrew had just set the table when the girls came out from their rooms. "Right on time ladies, breakfast is served", Andrew said as he took off the apron he was wearing, he then brought out a chair for Gabriella and sat down on another. Gabriella sat down and dived into her food without a second thought as for Eleana, well, she was still sceptical about how the meal will taste. Seeing that her friend was looking at the food warily, Gabriella burst into a round of laughter. "Just taste the food Eleana, it's not poison", Strengthening her resolve Eleana took a bold step and took a bit of the cheese and chewed slowly. Both Gabriella and Andrew were intently watching Eleana's expression after she took a bite. At first Eleana's expression was that of someone who is being forced to take a bitter pill but after taking a bite from the food her expression slowly changed to surprise and delight. "Hmmmmm, hmmmmm, this.....this taste really good. Wow!", Eleana couldn't form the words prop
At Jee Ne Pre-kindergarten Academy: It was twelve O'clock and the school was still in session. Dane had a look of contempt and impatience on his face as he looked at the closed gate. He checked his watch from time to time wondering why it was taking so long for his children to come out. Earlier he had told one of the teachers to let the children know someone was here to pick them up and he specifically asked her to tell them it was their mother, knowing the smartness of his eldest child it is wise to not tell her he is here. Taking another look at his watch, Dane turned his eyes back to the gate just in time to see both of his children, Georgina and Isabella running forward with their teacher strolling behind them, he was struck by the happy smiles on their faces, it has been a while since he last saw them this happy, he was hardly at home and well.... he took a few steps closer to them. The teacher had just told the children their mother was waiting for them at the gate a
At the city's general hospital: Dane, his mother and the school teacher were waiting for the doctor's diagnosis when Eleana rushed into the building. "Excuse me, where is Gerogina Diamen?", Eleana asked panting heavily. "Hold on a moment", the receptionist replied as she checked the records. "Second floor, room five ". Eleana rushed to the Elevator but it had gone up already, unable to wait she took the stairs and ran up as fast as she could. The doctor was speaking to Dane when Eleana got to where they were. Seeing the doctor talking to Dane, Eleana knew he must be the one that attended to Georgina. "Doctor, doctor, how is she? how is my daughter doing? Where is she?", she bombarded the doctor with questions as she grabbed him tightly. "Calm down Madam, she is fine. You are the mother?", "Yes, where is she? Can I see her now?", "She is currently unconscious, it seems she hit her head on the ground hard but she is fine, the young man on the other hand, not so much
