“Pinch me Doro because I think I am dreaming” Mia said.
“I think we are in the same dream Mia” Dorothy replied.
Levi beeped the horn and they came out of their ecstasy and got into the car and it drove off.
“Is she the girl Levi was talking about Ed” the lady with Edward asked him.
“Yes Lucy that’s her” Edward replied.
“She is cute, why don’t you give her a chance?” Lucy suggested.
“She is not my type”Edward replied.
“As your sister and also a woman, I think she is good for you” Lucy said.
“That’s enough Lucy, how is mother and ivy” he asked.
“They are fine, mother is still living the benefits of having two children in mafia” Lucy said.
“Tell her I will visit her soon” he said
“I will” Lucy replied.
“Cal said we should visit our drug supplier” Edward said.
“I hope there will be spilling of blood?” Lucy asked.
“It depends” Edward replied lighting a cigarette.
“Let me get my bike and we would move” Lucy said.
She went and drove her bike to where Edward was, he got in and she drove out of the residence.

“Are you still thinking about Edward ?” Dorothy asked Mia. They were at a restaurant eating lunch.
“No I am not” Mia replied.
“Well there is something on your mind because you haven’t touched your food” Dorothy said.
“Nothing is on my mind, I just wish for a guy that will show me what love really is” Mia said.
“And that guy is gonna come, just wait for him” Dorothy assured.
“Now eat your food before it gets cold” she added.
Mia took the spoon and started eating, after ten minutes both of them were already done with their first plate and they ordered another one.
“My stomach is so full that I could barely walk” Mia said as they came out of the restaurant.
“My own stomach is perfectly fine and it wouldn’t mind eating another food” Dorothy replied.
“You are a crazy foodie” Mia said to her.
“You can say that again” Dorothy replied.
The walked to the bus stop and sat down waiting for the bus. “Let’s visit the karaoke some day” Mia suggested.
“That sounds so fun, so when are we going?” Dorothy asked.
“Next week Friday will be perfect right?” Mia asked.
“Next week Friday it is” Dorothy replied.
The bus arrived and they both got in and it drove off, it stopped at their bus stop and they both alighted.
“Bye Doro” Mia said
“Bye Mia” Dorothy replied and they went their separate ways.
Dorothy was going to her old residence because she wanted to take something she kept there.
She reached the house and opened the gate and got in.
“You stupid woman, you don’t know where your previous tenant lives” a woman was saying and walking towards Dorothy. She was walking and looking behind herself and she bumped into Dorothy.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Ouch ” Dorothy said due to the contact.
“Oh my sweet Doro !” the woman exclaimed holding Dorothy’s face.
“Lady Pom, what are you doing here?” Dorothy asked.
“I was looking for you Doro” she replied.
“Looking for me? why?” Dorothy asked.
“My customers were asking of you and threatened stop patronizing me, please can you come back and start working again. I will increase your pay” Lady Pom said.
“Really?” Dorothy ask.
“Yes I will do anything you ask me to do” Lady Pom promised.
“Unfortunately, Lady Pom but I am not interested” Dorothy said.
“But I will do what ….”
“Out of my way” Dorothy interrupted her and walked away.
She went to the general storeroom and took her drawing kits from there. She used the drawing kits to draw dresses ideas.
“How are you doing Doro?” her former landlady called from her balcony, it seems that Lady Pom was talking with her before.
“Good” Dorothy replied curtly and went out of the residence.
“She looked so well dressed and healthy, I wonder where she sees the money” the landlady thought.
Dorothy came out of the residence and boarded a cab to Calvin’s residence.
“Madam please freshen up and come to the dinning room, your food is ready” the butler told Dorothy immediately she entered the house.
“OK thanks” she replied and went to her room to freshen up.
After that she came out and went to the dinning room, Calvin was inside it eating.
“How was school?” he asked when she joined him at the table.
“School was fine” Dorothy replied.
“Wow is this deep-fry omelet ?” she asked pointing at a dish on the table.
“Yes” Calvin replied.
Dorothy took her spoon and took a scoop of the omelet.
“How is it ?” Calvin asked.
“It is good” Dorothy replied with her mouth full.
“Swallow carefully or you will choke” Calvin said.
Dorothy nodded and continued eating. After they were done eating, they came out of the dinning room.
Dorothy wanted to go to her room when Calvin asked her “will you be free tomorrow by 2pm”.
“Yes” Dorothy replied.
“Alright I will pick you up by 1:30 then, I want us to visit the beach” he said.
“OK that’s fine” Dorothy replied.
“Goodnight Doll” Calvin said.
“Goodnight Cal” Dorothy replied and walked to her room leaving Calvin staring at her.
When she was out of sight, Calvin walked to his own room. He went inside and went to his bathroom room, he showered for ten minutes then came out.
He got dressed and went to the cupboard in his room, he brought it out a small wooden box and opened it.
He brought out a very old and faded bracelet, the bracelet was written ” A. B (D. B) J. B” on one of it’s charm. Calvin held the bracelet on his hand and closed his eyes, he stayed like this for ten minutes.
“I missed you so much my love” he whispered and returned the bracelet to it’s box and went to his bed.
