Ugh, another person trying to insult him again, Gavin thought, totally unimpressed by the woman's words or behavior.

"Are you really an employee of the City Express? Why do you look so tattered and beaten up like a bull?" The lady did not seem to want to back down on her repulsive questioning.

Well there was nothing Gavin could do about it. He began walking back to his motorbike. But the unrelenting old woman followed him.

"Why are you not answering me?" She asked, becoming furious with every step she took towards him, and every step he took away from her.

He still gave her no replies. On his mind was only one imperative at the time: meet up with Meghan and find out what she wants to tell you.

"This is bad customer service. How can you be an employee of City Express? You're unprofessional, you're ugly, and you lack disrespect. Your body is also badly shaped. Don't move any more inches, you scoundrel, or I will call your boss, right here, right now."

By that time, Gavin was already on

    Gavin was shocked to hear that. His eyes were widened for a minute as he thought to ask why. But he had the feeling that the answer would not have been something he would love to hear."Okay, fine." He agreed. He was far too curious now to back down from it. And he felt good that his wife wanted to talk to him about something. It meant to him that at least she still felt he was dependable enough to tell.It had been a long time standing since she had done that. It had him really gibbering feelings in his guts. And he wanted to keep feeling that way. "Really? You agree to that?" Meghan asked, surprised at his willingness to act that way even at a request she felt to be humiliating and embarrassing."Of course. Anything for you, my love. You can tell me anything you want to tell me. I am here for you."His words pierced her heart. So much so that she began feeling bad for making such a request. She heaved a sigh, looked out of the glass windows for sometime, watching the streets filled

    Meghan flushed red with anger, nearly smashing the table with his her hands. The jug in the middle of the table bounced up and down a bit. She only realized herself when she turned her head around and saw that there were people looking at her."What do you mean by that?" She said angrily. "Are you trying to make fun of me, Gavin? Please don't do this to yourself. Please don't. You don't know at all how you look at this instant. I beg of you, Gavin.""What?" Gavin asked rhetorically. "How hard is it to believe that I am the one that made it possible to get the deal."With every word that came out of Gavin's mouth, Meghan would only feel her anger surge up the more. "Will you just shut up?" She demanded angrily. "How can you say that? How could you possibly have gotten me the deal when you literally have nothing?"Gavin did not say a word at this. He couldn’t quite possibly blame her for something he had not told her about before."I know what you are doing, and to be quite frank with

    "Okay, if you want me to believe you, give me some form of proof that would allow me to," said Meghan, still hard pressed that her husband kept telling her something she considered to be nothing but a lie. "And what do you want me to tell you, Meghan?" He asked, half his face still covered by his palm, trying to show just how dismayed he was by her suggestions and rhetorics."I don't know. Anything. You are the one making the claims. You should have evidence without me telling you to." Gavin sighed. "I guess that is fair. Let me tell you the name of the President. I am pretty close to him. He is Thomas Winnicks." Meghan rolled her eyes. "Oh lord, Gavin. What do you take me for? Why do you decide to lie to me like I am nothing but a diaper-wearing child in your eyes? Are you not being funny. Are you not ashamed? Who on earth doesn't know Thomas Winnicks? Why would you think you are the only one that knows him? Knowing him does not count for anything. You know that. Stop acting like

    Silence came and went away in a hurry. What replaced it was an outburst of laughter from Gavin, sitting down on the chair, his head spun back like it was about to fall of any moment, cackling in a hysterical manner. "What? Why are you laughing?" Said an angry Meghan towering over him. She had lost all care of people staring. "Yes," he said, right out of the blue, after having a pause from his hysterical laughter. "Why?" She asked, again. "What the hell do you mean by yes?""I said, yes. I will buy you the ticket to the event. Is that not what you wanted to hear from me? This is it. Yes." Gavin looked her straight in the eye. Meghan was shocked. Her lips were parted for close to two full minutes in total surprise at how relaxed he was, and also that she had just agreed to buy a ticket that cost so much money. She had not expected him to. She was expecting anything other than that. She was even expecting that he would leave the cafe in anger, but there he was, not looking as though

    He watched her go away, disappearing behind the door, over the corner of his eyes. He felt cold, a certain shiver, as if blown by the wind. His body shook immediately. For a minute, he felt himself almost become engulfed with sadness at her condition. But before he could get swallowed up by it, he laughed."Haha!" He could not exactly tell why he was laughing, but it felt good to transform the strange hollow he felt in his heart to something happy. Even if the laughter didn't sound so happy. He was not feeling sad because the money wasn't available to do what she wanted, but because she threatened to divorce him. She wasn't going to divorce him for that, was she? Of course, she wouldn't. But he did not want to wait to find out either. He laughed once more at the ordeal, and most especially, at the request. It was totally something he could not handle, so fretting over it was really out of the question.He placed his hands on the table in front of him and squinted. By his hand, his pho

    Meghan found herself going to the family house to get some things she had left behind before she got married to Gavin. She was in need of more clothes as the ones she had on were already getting worn out since she had not bought new clothes to replace them because she had way too little money to get herself some.She had gotten into her room, thinking she had not been seen by anyone sneaking in, when all of a sudden she heard the door open behind her, and a voice spoke behind her."So, I guess you have come back to your old room, I see." It was the voice of her mother standing behind her. "Yes, I just came to grab some things," Meghan said without turning back to look at her."Incredible. One would have thought that you would have given up these old things to the poor and the homeless." Another voice was now speaking. "Or forgive me, I think I made a mistake. You are now the poor and almost homeless." There was laughter. Very annoying mocking laughter that had Meghan turning back to

    "You are such a foolish child," Mrs. Stallion said to Meghan with a glare of disappointment in her eyes. "Was this what I thought you when growing up? Was it?" Her voice was now thunderous. Her words echoed back and forth, bouncing upon the four walls of the room.Meghan gave no reply to her mother which in turn steered the woman's anger even much more than she was angry. So much so that even her eyes and the ways she stared at her mother, elicited even much more anger than was being thrown at her before then. "You look at me like you are hearing a single thing," Mrs. Stallion started once more, “Or as if you are going to learn from your mistakes but I know you do not hear a thing of what I say. If you leave this room, you will just go on and do whatever comes to your mind. You will just go back to that good-for-nothing husband of yours that cannot even afford your clothes. Is that not a shame? Is it not?""Mom, I know what I am doing. You do not have to scold me like this, I am no

    Ron Duke, the Chief Security Officer of the City Express, was in his office. Today he did not have his friends over. Neither was he expecting anyone. He was not expecting anything at all. Even that his door would be knocked open in front of him. Even the person that would be standing at the place of the knocked door was someone he was not expecting as well. The most unexpected person."What are you doing, banging into my office like that?” Ron asked glaring wickedly at the man in front of him. "Have you lost your mind, you?"Gavin himself was not the kind of person to go knocking the doors of people's offices. Even he himself could attest to this somehow. But there he was, standing there with his fingers curled up into a fist, eagerly staring at Ron. His mouth full of numberless words to say to the C.S.O."Am I not talking to you?" Ron barked again at him, ignoring a tiny voice in his head preaching to him about how the man standing in front of him was not the Gavin he knew. This was
