"Ivy!" He almost screamed. He could not believe that she was back in town. "Hello, Levi." She said with a smile on her face. Something about her had changed. She no longer looked shy and scared. She was now brave and bold. "Oh my goodness," Levi said and finally sat down. "The last time I saw you, you were thinking about leaving town. I heard you left but I did not know when you got back." "Well, if you must know. I came back few days ago. I did not actually want call you up because I heard that you had an auction event to attend. So I told myself after the event, I would meet up with you." "My goodness!" Levi exclaimed. "Where exactly did you go to?" He asked. "Umm, Eygpt." She said beaming. "Well Eygpt obviously agrees with you. Just look at you looking dazzling beautiful. You are radiating." "Well, thank you very much." She said, not hiding her blush. "I must say that I think it's amazing that you think all these wonderful things about me because now that I am back, I am t
"Where did you go?" Jake asked, startling Levi as he went to get his drink from the fridge. "Do you really have to do that everytime? Can't you just be normal for once in your life." "How do you actually expect me to be normal when you are out doing whatever you feel like without caring about me?" "Why are you talking like I broke your heart into different pieces and did not allow you a chance to recover from it?" "Because that's what you did!" Jake said angrily and then immediately the two bursted out in laughter. "Okay, you actually need to stop doing that. It's getting a bit strange and weird for me." "Oh but you used to love it so much when we were growing up. What changed?" He asked. "We grew up!" Levi looked at him and answered. Levi and Jake were practically like brothers when they were growing up. They did everything together and sometimes, Jake dramatic nature kicked in and he liked to tease his dear friend by acting like his girlfriend and somehow the girlfriend was
"I think I am going to head on to bed now. I have to get some sleep. It's been a long day after all," Jake said as he excused himself. He knew that Levi was about to set himself up and he wasn't going to stand back and watch it happen.Brittany kept mute and watched as Jake left the room. She was more than excited that he had left because now she would be able to address Levi and his truck of lies. She did not know if she should be sad or amused that the guy she would have given everything for was actually lying to her. Why did he lie and when would be stop lying? Why did he never think it right to tell him what was going on? Was he that scared that she would not be able to defend herself but yet somehow, the problem never stopped coming her way. "Bri, why are you looking at me like that?" Levi asked. "Oh it's nothing really. I am just trying to understand you. So why don't you tell me more about what exactly is going on here " "Okay, look, it's a problem that you don't have to bo
"Babe?" "Levi are you there?" She called out again when she did not hear any response from him. "Yeah, I am here. I'm just trying to understand what you mean. I couldn't properly hear you." "Okay, well I said that your best friend ate the food you ordered for me and now I need to go and get another breakfast." "Oh, I am so sorry about that dear. But why can't you just order in?" He asked and Brittany could hear the sound of keyboards typing. She knew that he was probably deep in work and yet he still made out time to talk to her. It was the best thing for her to experience. She had never been placed as the number one in anyone's life and somehow, Levi never stopped showing her how much he cared and loved her. "Well, because it will take forever before that can actually happen. It will take forever before I can actually get the food if I am ordering it and I am too hungry to wait for all that , so I am just going to get myself my food outside.""Okay dear. I will send you some mon
"Can I have a few minutes to breath before you start looking for ways to kill me?" Brittany asked as she watched Sasha take her seat. "But of course you can. Look, I was just here to observe and I happen to see you. It's not my fault.""What exactly where you here to observe?" Brittany knew the girl very well and could tell when she was lying and trying to cover up something. "Nothing much. Just trying to observe the environment." "You were waiting here for me, weren't you?" "Now how was I to know that you would be here?! It's not as if you sent me a notice or you even have a social media presence that someone could use to stalk you online." "Okay, as sweet as that is, you haven't still told me why you are standing in front of me right now." "What? I saw a friend and you think I will not come over to say hi." Brittany looked at her again. She never understood what the girl was all about. But she knew that whenever she had that smile on her face , she was up to no good. But now

"What are you doing here?" Jake asked as soon as he reached their table. "Oh," Brittany chuckled. "I just came out to meet my friend. You know it has been such a long time since I last met her and I just wanted to catch up since I learnt that she was in town." "Wow. That's really great. So how about you introduce me to your very beautiful friend," Jake said with a grin on his face, making Brittany to sigh. "Oh, I wouldn't get any ideas if I were you. You see, she is already taken. Yeah, she is married. Which is why she doesn't stay around." "Oh I have been recently divorced," Sasha said, standing up. "Hi. I'm Sasha," she extended her hand to Jake to shake and that smile that Brittany hated so much was still plastered on her face. "I'm Jake and it is a pleasure to meet you," Jake said with his eyes fixed on her. Brittany could tell that he was already falling for her tricks and he could not allow that to happen. "What? How could I didn't know about this?" Brittany said, trying t
"And who is asking?" Sasha asked. "Umm," the woman threw a glance at Sasha and the hatred in her eyes washed away. It came back immediately she looked at Brittany. "I'm yet to get an answer to my question." The woman asked. "And we are yet to get an answer to ours as well." Sasha said back. "My name is Ivy." The woman said produly as if expecting the two women to know her or something. She spoke with so much vigor and expection, wanting to be known as the best. "And why are you standng in front of us? Do we owe you anything?" Sasha took the position of Brittany's spoke woman, ready to defend her at every possible turn. "You must think that I am mad," Ivy turned to Sasha and said. "I will not be answering any questions of yours without you giving an answer to mine as well. After all, I asked first." "Okay, you listen here young woman. We were on our own, minding our freaking business when you decided to come over here and start talking to us. If anything, we deserve an answer mo
