"It seems things are already resolved right now for you. As for me I still have a score to settle with Rose." Shelly said. Jackson looked at her as they arrived in her house. Shelly lived alone in a flat that was too big for her. It was a a three bedroom flat which was modestly furnished for a single lady. "Is that what you think?" Jackson said. Shelly did not know what to say or how to respond to what he said."I only thought that with no other threats around me you might want to go back to the life you had before you met me." Shelly said. "As long as I am concerned, you still need protection and I am the only one that can lay my life to protect you." He said. "Wow! My night in shiny armour." Shelly said playfully. Shelly was not expecting what he said. Infact Shelly did not mean it when she said that Jackson could go back to the life he had before he met her."Why do you think I need protecting? Have I not been doing a good job of protecting myself?" She said and a smile played on h
It was late in the night and Ben could not see where he was going to. It was pitch black. "Where the hell I am." he asked himself. Obviously no answer came to him. He groped around in the dark trying to find his way around. His hands finally touched the wall. He started to search if there was a switch on the wall. He found none. All of a sudden a door opened and there was a flicker of light coming from a bed lamp. With the help of the wall he found his way to the bed lamp. When he got there he sat on the bed. He still did not know where he was because the flicker of light was not enough to make him have enough visibility. He thought of what to do and he decided to carry the bed lamp along with him.As he walked through where he was. He realized that he was in the woods. "Where the hell is this. How come there is a bed in the woods?" He asked himself. As usual no answer came to him. As he walked through the woods, all he saw were short trees on either side of him. As he went on, he saw
Ben looked at her to see how she was going to react but he did not see any kind of reaction from her. She was receptive towards what he said. "Hmmmm..... I see. Like I said, the nightmare is a reflection of your fears and doubts." She said. "But since I have been here I have not seen that thing that should bring out the fear in me whether consciously or unconsciously. I have been living here without doubts and fear." He saidShe looked at him and she understood that he was young and had not understood how nature or life worked. "If it was back home in the U.K. then what you said will definitely be exactly what it is because I was afraid of a lot of things." He said. "Tell me Ben what were those things that you were afraid of?" She asked him. Ben felt relaxed taking with this woman. He now knew why Gerard had as part of his household. "I lived in constant fear of my mom dieing because of her sickness." Ben paused as he suddenly became emotional."I am sorry. I did not know that you had
It was a saturday morning. Murdoch was still in bed. He was still hurt from the rejection he got or silence that he got from his girlfriend when he proposed to her. His night was restless. He had no ounce of sleep. He did all his best to ignore the image of his girlfriend looking shell shocked and frozen as she said nothing to his proposal.He was thinking about what he was going to do. He hoped that as the sun was rising, it would rise with new hopes and dreams but he was skeptical about that because he was thinking by now that she would have called him after he had called her severally. As Murdoch stared at the ceiling he began to think how he was going to continue his life without Miranda.Miranda had been the only woman he felt comfortable with. She was the only woman he felt so carefree with. She was the only woman who he could feel stupid around and not feel shy or embarrassed. Miranda was the perfect and suitable woman for him. He was a handsome man with lovely features. Murdoc
"I will be going to see James' mother today. She is celebrating her birthday and everyone will be there." Shelly said. Jackson looked at her with a suspicious look. Shelly did not notice at first when Jackson did not respond to what she said because she was putting on her make up when she said it. She did not take notice of the fact that he was looking at her suspiciously. "Will you not respond to what I said?" She was by the dresser putting final touch to her make up while Jackson was on the bed looking at a map.When he did not answer her was when she now looked at him and her gaze met his. She nothing to him. They just stared at each other until Shelly spoke. "Why are you looking at me like that?" Shelly asked him. "Are you really asking me why?" Jackson said. Shelly still did not understand what Jackson meant. "You still so not know what my looking at you that way means?" Jackson asked her.As Jackson kept looking at her, she was able to decipher what he meant. "Hmmmm.....I now kn
"We will talk to you later Ben. There is something we have to handle." Oscar said and hung up the phone. "How are the boys doing?" Casey asked. "They are doing well. Murdoch has completely healed from what happened to him but he has some emotional issues he is battling with at the moment. Ben informed her. "I hope it is not a girl issue." Casey said. "What else could it be if not that. Ben said. "Are you saying that, it is only when someone is emotionally down, that it is a girl issue." Casey said."I am not saying that but with guys it is only when a girl hurts us that we get emotional. At least most guys." Ben said. "I disagree with you. Do you think it is every guy who is hurt only by a girl?" She said. "That is why I said most guys." Ben said. "Well, I think you should speak for yourself." Casey said. Ben just said nothing because he had not been in such a situation. He did not have the chance to meet girls. He stopped school at a point because of his mom; so that made him unabl
"How can you say you can't find her?" Shelly asked Mitchell. She was crying and she could not say anything. "Where is your husband? Shelly asked Mitchell. She went along with his friends l to look for her." The heart broken woman said while crying. Shelly went into the house. She saw a few people in shock because of what happened. Shelly aunt's friends were bothered. You could hear some of them talking about how misfortune had found her. Shelly heard them saying that, she was yet to get over it he death of her son, now she was kidnapped."Now sit down and tell me what happened." Shelly tried to calm the younger woman down so that she could give her a picture of what happened. "We were all here with mom talking and cracking jokes after she had cut her cake. Then there was a knock on the door. I went to the door to open it and I saw a woman." Mitchell said. "Can you describe her?" Shelly asked her. "Let me try to describe what I can remember of her. She had a short brown hair with a l
Shelly understood the question that Chase was asking him but she tried to evade it. "What are you taking about?" Shelly asked him. "I know what I heard when you were talking over the phone. I heard evert word clearly so you better tell me what is going on right now because I deserve to know. We all deserve to know." Chase said as his voice began to break because he was also at the breaking point. He lost his brother some weeks back and now his mother was kidnapped. It was too much for him to take. He was trying to be strong and being the shoulder that others were crying on. Others looked at him for strength and hope that things were going to work out, especially his wife. But he also needed comfort. He needed to be encouraged to remain strong and positive."Please Shelly, what is going on because I can not lose another family of mine. Shelly was heart broken because this man here was losing it. She understood what it meant to lose a relative but to lose a sibling was too much to take
