The sound of the birds chirping in the distance, announced the break of morning. Stirring in bed, Phoebe sat up, rubbing her eyes and adjusting to her surroundings. It was 6am, and she barely got enough sleep, her mind was invaded by thoughts of Seth and his welfare, ridding me of all the sleep I tried to get. She doubted if he was given anything for dinner, she mused to herself, throwing the duvet off her body and springing out of the bed. Heading straight for the bathroom, she took the time to carefully strip herself of all clothing before getting under the shower, letting the water run over her body as though in an attempt to wash away the guilt that had consumed her all through the night. He should not be there in our place. “But he willingly volunteered to, didn't he?” her grandma's voice sounds in my head, contradicting her entire thought process. “I will find a way to get him out of there,” she declares solemnly, drying her body with the towel and applying lotion all o
Seth drove into the town's central park where Sasha had stationed herself. He found her already dishing out the foods and sharing them.He got out of the car, and observed the crowd in front of her. He walked slowly through it until he got to the platform where she had placed each food, and was serving. Seth watched her impressively dish out the food into plates, and share it."Need a hand?" He asked peering up at her. "I thought you wouldn't make it today? I did not want you to bother at all. It is a lot of work just being up here, and I'm sure you must be really tired already." She replied as more homeless people trooped in to get food."How did you manage to get them to be so organised?" Seth asked her."Well I promise to tell you if you help me get the food to everyone left." She said with a smile.Seth nodded and picked up the plates of foods she had already dished out. As soon as everyone had eaten, the food was almost don
Sasha continued to run Seth'shand, until he gently pulled it out from under her touch."Anyway, so, I suppose we have to get right to the buffet then. You can pick up a plate and choose what you want to eat, okay?" She smiled chirpily to cover the awkwardness of the situation.Seth smiled back at her, equally playing along.They ate and drank, talking about work, and each other's lives before and how they each happened upon the wealth that they currently had."I am so happy you came! I mean honestly." Sasha said, getting up. She tripped on her feet and fell back into the sofa, beside Seth, who reached out and caught her.He was equally tipsy, but not far gone that he did not know what he was doing. Sasha got up again, and this time, he helped her up. "Easy okay? You don't want to fall and hurt your pretty wrist," he said, letting his hand drop weakly.She sat back down beside him, and placed her head on his chest. He lo
The ball tip pen still in his hands as the doctor hovered over him, Seth knew quite well that he could not afford to sign the document. The document for lease or for the request of a room has to be done with the consent of an actual family member. The cop had already assured him that he definitely was not a member of the Patterson house no matter how hard he forced himself in. Despite the fact that the officer's words had gotten to him, in as much he only spewed facts in his face, he could not still get himself to leave. Because no matter how much he tried to deny it, he had fallen in love with Phoebe and hoped she would try to reciprocate those feelings as well. The sound of the gate followed by the drive in of a car alerted him and he say up in his position and tried to maintain composure. “What is going on here?” Grandma's voice came almost immediately after he placed the unsigned paper on the table, dusting his hands as though dusting off fingerprints and DNA proof that he had
"Hey babe" Phoebe kissed Seth on his lips as she walked into his room with her box of clothes early in the morning, at five AM. Seth stood frozen at the door and completely surprised at the fact that she had even called him babe, secondly, she was moving into the master bedroom. Knowing that he couldn't stop her, not now, not after they had finally gotten intimate. He did not want to ruin things, but that did not change the fact that he was still sceptical about their relationship. "So, I'll keep these here and these here." She said walking up to the dresser and placing some of her things on it. Seth sat back on the bed and watched around with expertise. He smiled as she took.some things off a spot and took them to another. "Honestly? This room lacks organisation. I'm not surprised, you never organised it back then, what should I expect from you now?" She asked . Back then, he thought. Back then when there was no master bedroom, but only his room. Back then when he was not allow
Main walked up angrily into the opposite building from Chroma Creatives. STEM Holdings has always been a number one support system for Chroma Creatives. They sponsored the majority of Chroma Creatives' projects, and handed a percentage of their budgets. Marlin knew this, and he also knew that their CEO, Sasha Banks was a good friend of Seth's, and as beautiful as she was, she had a huge crush on Seth Rivera, and was more than willing to step in where Phoebe was incapable. This was the very reason she did not mind going over to Seth's place to help him cook dinner and make Phoebe jealous. Even though she actually wished that he wanted her instead of Phoebe. Dressed in a white suit, her slender figure stood out with a perfect hourglass shape. Marlin would have gone for her too, but she was interested in Seth, and Seth was not interested in her. What he wanted was what Seth had that he felt he had stolen from him. And that included Chroma Creatives, and Phoebe Patterson. "Hello, Mis
Watching Seth intently, I could tell that he was trying too hard to maintain a smile. He is always like that, putting others emotions and feelings first before his.I know why he is doing all this, he doesn't want me to see him at his lowest, he doesn't want me to think of the situation as too difficult to handle.“Hey, everything will be fine,” I assure him, squeezing his hand softly“”I know it will,” he smiles, " I am more worried about you,” his trails off, his gaze lingering on mine.Typical! Always worried about me first. It will be better if he can be selfish, at least just once.“Seth, it's okay for you to think about your condition, even if it's just once,” I groan, trying to hide the edge in my voice.“babe it is fine,” he assures, holding his gaze with me a little longer as we approach the counter up front. Upon moving to the counter with Seth, I spotted the officer whom I had tipped off earlier. “ Your time is up,” he declares, motioning to Seth to break his touch with
“Good morning Mrs Dahlia, I hope you were able to get more than enough sleep than I did. To be honest, I didn't sleep a wink, a lot of things kept me awake. “But anyway, I'm alright now and I'm heading home for a shower then I'll return to meet you at the hospital. The lawyer was not able to get me a bail, but he said would try to get me one by eight. I'll be here by then, don't worry. “And Aidan? Is he still in the hospital?” She asked, wondering why he was obliged to attend to their family member anyway. “Yes he is.” He replied curtly, “and with the current situation of things, I suggest it would be best if we were to put a halt to our communication,” he added, glancing around to make sure no one heard him. He could tell Grandma Patterson had her eyes on him even though Phoebe claimed he was over thinking things a lot. “Oh, I also took care of our call histories and amended it to perfection. If you go through
