All the while that Nicole arrived from Jeremy’s house after the weekend, she had not yet mentioned it to Henry. Her classes had occupied all her time through out the day and made her totally forget about getting across to Henry. It was later that evening just before she went to hang out with Peter that she talked to Henry, she did not tell Henry that she was spending time with her male friend, she envisioned that it was all a one time thing.Nicole had no plans of having anything intimate do with Peter, she was only trying to acknowledge the advice that her friend Josephine had given her earlier about Peter. She did not want to lose his friendship since he was a good guy, although she knew that her thoughts for her was to be in a relationship. Something deep down Nicole just felt off about the whole ‘do not break his heart,’ stuff that Josephine told her, it gave Peter more chances to make weird advances which she always rejected.“where have you been?” I did not see you when you arri
Nicole and Josephine slept off on the couch while they were discussing the previous night, Nicole could not possibly convince Josephine other wise especially when Nicole had never experienced a bad relationship. So no matter how much she tried to put herself in Josephine's shoes she could not just understand what she passed through.Nicole woke up late since she did sleep in her room, and her alarm was not there to wake the lady up from her slumber. Josephine did her the favor of poking her up from her sleep while she slept like a baby.“Nicole!” She called out, it was obvious that the daily stress was taking a toll on her. “Nickie!” She called out again, poking her much more aggressively.Nicole just twisted and turned while her eyes flickered a little bit. “what is the time?” she muttered to Josephine, her eyes were still heavy as she talked.“I have no idea, but it is definitely late enough.” She replied, then she immediately reached for phone which was on one of the couches.
“hey silent guy”Henry knew that she was calling out to him but he just decided to ignore her, he was not just ready to start mingling with anyone. He was an introvert who preferred staying within the confined space in his mind and the only person who he let to intrude at will was Nicole.She slid her hands through his back from behind and stopped just on top his shoulder, that was too undeniable to ignore.“Oh it is you again, I did not see you there,” he said to her, completely pretending that he never recognized her presence around him at all.“Oh please, you obviously recognized but that is cool. You are always alone all by yourself, at least make a few friends to talk to.” She advised him, “May I sit by your side?” she asked him, sounding so polite that her voice was pleasant to listen too.“who said that I need friends, what do you think these ear buds are for?” he questioned her, smiling slightly as only one side of his lips was raised. “they are enough for me, trust me mu
In a few days was Nicole's seventeenth birthday and she was preparing for it big, it was the first birthday she was going to be having without her parents and with was really emotional for her but it seemed to be how her life had turned out. Even if her parents were not there she had gathered a new family with the friend she made since the accident.Henry, Josephine and Jeremy were her new family members, they supported her In all she did and they were always doing the best they could to help her in any situation. Nicole was thinking of hosting a party, she planned to use the money that she had found in her parents house some months ago which she had kept safe in her apartment. She never really needed to use the money since Jeremy provided with the necessary needs for her college as her father’s will states.It was a lot of money that she has found in her father’s treasure lock, and up till that day she never really had the chance to count it and so she just left it still inside
Josephine had not been able to collect herself properly for the past ten minutes after Nicole had showed her the bag of cash that layer upon her bed. Josephine nearly screamed but Nicole stopped her buy placing her hands over her mouth.“did you steal this?” Josephine asked her, the expression on Josephine's face spelled confusion mixed with a bit of surprise and happiness.“Come on, do you really think I could steal something like this from somewhere?” Nicole asked her, “Honestly it is quite the longest story that would literally take me days to explain every detail to you.” Nicole uttered, but it seemed like Josephine really want to hear all about it because thus was certainly extraordinary.“Yea who cares how long this story is, I would really love to hear it because they could still be more where this came from.” Josephine said to Nicole, she sounded a bit curious and desperate to know. “How long have you had this” Josephine questioned Nicole, in fact she did not let Nicole a
“that would be cool, I would need all preparations to be done by Friday since its this Saturday,” Nicole uttered to her.“Damn it is so soon, but we could get it done,” Josephine assured, “But how come you never said anything about your day, even when you had all this money.” She questioned her, she was surprised that Nicole had been acting like she was from an average family all this while.“Look dear it is not my fault, I have so much on my mind and I literally forgot that I had collected this money.” She narrated.“How in the world could you have forgotten about such a thing, anyway let us get counting.” Josephine suggested to Nicole as they were having their conversation.“Yea, that is right, it is definitely going to take quite a lot of time to finish it but I guess it was something that was bound to be done,” Nicole uttered and even before she could finish speaking Josephine picked up the back and flipped it upside down pouring all the cash on the floor.“Damn, the smell of
The two teenage girls planned on hosting the party at Henry’s place since it was way more spacious than their apartment, moreover they had one other neighbor that was not at all interested in those kind of things. Only Josephine and Henry knew about the money that Nicole had taken from their family's house, she kept that information secret even from Jeremy. She never saw a reason to reveal it Jeremy, at least not yet.Henry was more than happy to have them plan the party at his place, He actually joined in the effort for Nicole’s birthday. They had just a very limited time to organize something and now there would not be too much suspicion as Henry's family where already known to be quite wealthy so anything they did was not new.Less than 24 hours to the party“So what else are we missing?” Henry asked Nicole and Josephine that all day together on his dining table, “I just have a feeling that there is something missing in all this preparations but I just do not know what it coul
By the break of dawn, most guests had already made it home whereas some decided to wait and sleep over till morning. The sun was already coming up but Henry made sure to stay awake until morning to ensure that nothing would go missing the apartment since there were a lot of antiques.Henry slowly went around the house waking up every single person from their slumber as he tossed all the plastic cups and empty bottles of wine and beer into the black polythene bag. Even before Josephine and Nicole could get up he was almost done with the clean up, he was very particular about making sure that nothing was broken and everything was in order.So many were so drunk they literally fell into to the trash and spent the night there while other slept in the bathroom, some just laid there on the floor beside their empty cans of beer they had at night. The party was certainly something to remember, it had been a long while since there was a house party that big in the college but it seemed li
