It was morning, she opened her eyes to breakfast resting on the bed shelve beside her, and a note on the tray. “Good morning sunshine!” It then came back to her in a flash, all the events of last night. She could remember vividly, how he asked her to be his girlfriend and how she had said yes. She touched her lips and smiled. His kisses were still fresh on her lips. The scent of his body still dominated the room. She inhaled it and smiled again.“Awake ah?” He asked from the door. Immediately, she adjusted herself and sits up. She didn’t want him to know she was too excited about the whole thing. So she avoided his gaze and tried to act cool. “Did you sleep well?” He asked unwrapping the paper bag with him. “Yes of course” she simply replied and uncovered the food on the tray. “I ordered some new clothes. I think they should fit perfectly” he shrugged. But there were no response from her. she just nodded and pretended to focus on the food. She was too nervous to speak. “Are

"Dahlia, please open the door, I need to talk to you, Please?" Katy begged outside the door, but she kept mute and avoided her. But she wouldn't give up that easily.She had her strategy to lure her out, her last resort. She wasn't sure it would work but she tried regardless. "Dad just flew in this morning Lia, he wants to see you" Katy Lied."What?" Lia slammed the door open. "Tell me you didn't tell him anything?" She stared at Katy who reciprocated with a shrug."What was I suppose to do Lia? I was scared for you. Look at you, so pale and skinny. Am your sister for god sake, what ever hurts you hurts me too. How could you be so selfish?" She yelled at Lia who looked away sadly. "Liam has been looking throughout the whole city for you, he is going insane. How could you put him in that kind of situation?" Katy asked."You're right about one thing, I was selfish for shutting you out. But how come am the only one who is taking the blame? You should have seen what I saw Katy, how I felt

Lia laughs briefly at his ridiculous assumptions. The more she tries to believe him, the more it seems impossible to believe. She has taken weeks to digest his mysterious shift from a presumed normal guy to a supernatural being. Now this? She thought with her hands on her chin."You expect me to believe all this right?" She asked, as soon as she stops laughing. "I know it might sound funny. Am sure nobody would believe that. But it's all clear Lia, you don't seem to remember anything from your past life, you said it yourself. Am sure you didn't just fall from the sky""It's called amnesia Liam, am sure I am no where connected to your alien girlfriend" she replied, refusing to attach any other meaning to her life."Remember the signs I asked you about? It's a broken message from Dah'ila, from you. I couldn't have been mistaken. In the kingdom, ACLEUXX means love and the other part of the message was found yesterday. CAHLEAR means unbroken. This is not a coincidence. Our first kiss happ

"How come you always hum this sound whenever you are cooking?" Lia asked Katy who immediately stopped."It's my mom's favourite song. She always sings it to me when I was a kid. Although I can't remember the wording, but the sounds are soaked in my brain, like a freshly boiled potato soaked in a grilled fish sauce" She grins."I've always missed the part of asking about your mom. It's been ten years since I came into the family and still, I've never bothered to ask even once. I feel very terrible!""Maybe heaven knows I never liked to talk about it. But since you are family, I Will tell you. My mom died in a car accident. My dad raised me, though it was the hardest thing he has ever done, I quote" She shrugs.She forces out a smile in a bid to hide the growing sadness in her voice."One indisputable thing was his love for my mom. He loved her so much that he swore by her grave never to love someone else. I thought that was silly, cos people love right? Growing up, I needed a mom figur

"Wake up sleepy head!" Katy yelled. "What kind of lady stays in bed all day?""The rules remember?" Lia groans, clinging to the pillow even more. "Am coming to drag your lazy ass out of that bed! Get up before you find yourself in route sixteen" Katy yells again."Whatever!" Lia yelled back. "It's not even 9 o'clock yet?" She takes a glimpse of the wall clock and rolled her eyes."Am coming to get you, you better run!" Katy yanks the door open. Grabbing her by the legs, she pulled her out the bed. "You bloody cheat! Wake up or I will slam your head into the toilet seat and have you lick it with your tongue" she threatens. "For the love of God, have you no human sympathy?" She glares at Katy who jumps in victory. The door bell rings, Lia quickly runs to the door to get it. It was a man in his mid forties. On his hands were some delivery boxes."Miss Dahlia Michaelson?" The average, light skinned man asked."Yes?" She replies staring at his funny glasses. She suddenly felt the urge t
