It was all a plan...
"It was you, right?"
Jessica takes off her sunglasses. "Me?"
"Fidel's accomplice, right?"
Jessica sighs. "Can you let me in? Please? I want us to talk."
I hold the door firmly. "Whatever you have to say, say it now."
"It's about my husband, Fidel..." she starts nervously. "I need your help."
I stare sharply at her. "It was you, right? You were his accomplice in all this..."
Jessica swallows hard. "Yes."
"So, what do you have to say to me?" I ask coldly.
"I'm sorry... On behalf of my husband. We are sincerely sorry..."
I scoff. "What do you want, Jessica?"
She heaves a sigh nervously. "Please drop the charges against my husband."
I burst into a laugh. "Are you bei

TERRA It's been two weeks.Two weeks since Seven got shot.Two weeks since he recovered from the gunshots. But not completely.Two weeks since the doctors broke the worst news in both our faces.I just sat there, horrified, feeling sorry for Seven who went blank and still immediately he heard the news.He has cancer.Terminal lung cancer.According to the doctor, Seven is a heavy smoker and that has led to the rapid growth of the cancer thus making it deadly and terminal since he has never once tried to seek treatment.Seven admitted to doing Marijuana and smoking cigars and cheap cigarettes some time back. But he said he stopped. It also shocked him that he was paying for the consequences now. He thought he had escaped but all that smoking caught up with
TRENT Because you're a cute thief!
I find Seven lying in bed, a laptop on his lap, drinking herbal tea.Just seeing him, still breathing overwhelms me with relief. I was scared I might not find him seated like that. I was scared I'd find him lying on the bed, lifeless.I dread the day that will happen to me...He's probably engrossed in writing. That's all he does these days. Writing and writing and writing... I'm the one who does most of the cooking these days even though he jokes how terrible of a cook I am. I even do his laundry, clean up his house since we're always chilling at his house. It's like I moved in here just that there's a lot of my stuff in my house. But I sleep here. I cook here. I eat here. I spend most of my time here. I spend most of the time with Seven...Because...Because I don't know when it's going to be the last day...The last day I look into those beautiful smiling eyes..."Seven?" I call out standing at the door and he looks up at me.
TRENT Who does green lipstick?

"No... No... I'm sorry...""You should not be sorry that you're not attracted to me. It's not your fault," I mutter as I stand from the bed.Seven grabs my arm and pulls me back to the bed. He puts me on his lap and tucks a tendril of hair behind my ear."I'm attracted to you," he says gently. "God! I'm so fucking attracted to you. To your sweet face. Your colorful eyes. Your vibrant nature. Your perfect curves. Your loud laugh. The way you think. T
TRENT I guess he forgot that part...
I gasp in disbelief. "What!"She bursts into a loud long laugh. "You should see the look on your face, Cutie."I sigh in relief and chuckle a little bit. "Wait, did you say your name is May?"She nods."May? Seven's sister?"May looks at me for a moment, startled. "He told you I'm his sister?"I look at her suspiciously. "Aren't you his sister?"May laughs. "Ofcourse I am. I'm just a little surprised he didn't tell you...""Tell me what?""We are twins."Twins? They look nothing alike."Fraternal twins."That makes sense...I chuckle. "I guess he forgot that part."She nods. "Don't mind my twin brother. He can be so forgetful at times. I hope he never wakes up and forgets who you are."I stare at her blankly.May taps my shoulder. "Come on... I'm just kidding. Who would forget someone as terrific as you, Terra."I like her already."Come in."The minut
