FOUR MONTHS LATER Alexis sat nervously in the bedroom, dressed in her wedding gown but somehow she found herself sweating for absolutely no reason. The door opened slowly and Hudson walked in. "Hi babe... " "Hudson! You know it's not nice to see your bride in her wedding dress before she walked down aisle. ""I know... ""I just wanted to check up on you ""Now you have seen me, so just leave already before someone sees you here! By the way, how did you manage to get in here?" Alexis asked teasingly, with smiles in her face."Let's just say.. I sneaked in just to see how beautiful my bride looks. Truth be told Babe, you look absolutely stunning and I might just stay rooted at this spot and keep staring at you all day"Alexis blushed really hard as she tried to look down but Hudson held her jaw up."Don't! Let me keep looking" He said.She looked at him, straight into his eyes and all she could see was herself in it. She could see love in his eyes and that could only melt her heart
The sizzling sound of hot oil on the gas cooker filled the kitchen, the voices of people followed next while they were busy with one thing or the other Twenty-six year old Hudson Jackson sat idly on a stool in front of a counter that had nothing on it, his elbow was rested on it, with his palm beneath his chin, his dark curly hair falling over his face. The view of what was going on in the kitchen was beginning to get blurry, he was losing the fight to keep his eyelids open, they were becoming heavier every second. “Hudson!” He jolted out of the stool immediately, turning to the direction where the voice came from and it was the manager standing in the doorway with his hands held behind his back, everyone turned for a brief moment and turned back to what they were initially doing.It is an unspoken rule that you must not sleep in the kitchen or rather the manager must not catch you sleeping in the kitchen or it’s over for you, which might be the last day you will ever work there a
The next day after his encounter with the bully, Hudson branched over to his favorite coffee shop, which he always does before going to work every day. He pushed the huge double door open and walked in, there was a bell attached to the door, so it made a jiggle sound after it was pushed open. “Hey Mister Jackson” the lad behind the counter called with a wave of his hand and a smile on his face. Hudson responded with a smile on his face and walked over to him, “Give me the usual Latte” he said. “Already prepared exactly the way you like it sir” he said and pushed the coffee to him, while Hudson dug his hands in his pocket and brought out the money to pay him with a little tip on it. “Thank you sir” he said with another smile plastered on his face. “Some people came looking for you this morning sir and I have no idea about who they are” he added while pointing right behind him. Hudson followed his finger and shock registered on his face immediately as he saw the last person he eve
Hudson was holed up in his house, he couldn’t get to work on time because he was treating himself, he didn’t want to show up with a face covered up with bruises and a broken nose. Hudson had to get himself treated in the hospital and his bruises was covered up so it doesn't get infected. Hudson hated he had to go through all these. He was advised to take a break for the day but He was already on his bike, driving back to his workplace. He parked his bike in front of the building that had the brand name of the pizza he usually deliver, boldly written in front of it.He pushed the door open and walked into the kitchen, he greeted everybody and they replied him. He was heading to another door that led to their dressing room to put on his work clothes but was stopped mid-way by one of the workers in the kitchen, who was also a fellow delivery guy like him.“Hey Hudson” he called. “Huh” Hudson, he turned his head back with a blank expression on his face. “Um…” it was like he lost his
The ticking sound of the wall clock, the chiming of the alarm filled the room, Hudson laid on the bed with his back, his eyes glued on the ceiling, he laid there unmoving, his eyes were red and swollen to show that he had been crying for a while, and his pillow was a bit soaked with tears, he groaned and stood up with a deep sigh. Now fired from his only job, Hudson had been holed up in his house treating the injuries that he sustained from the bullies and crying his eyes out almost every passing second, barely eating. He picked up his phone and turned it on, looking at the time and date on his lock screen , he locked it back and dropped it on the bed, falling down back with his back to the bed.A small smile appeared on his lips, he have heard word of the school get together for his set which was approaching rapidly, it was around the corner, just in two days’ time, he only heard word of it, he was never invited and he even have no plans of attending, after all, there was no benefi
Hudson let out a very loud scream as he felt the cold and painful liquid being poured on him from the crown of his head downwards, he was drenched, he couldn't tell what the liquid is, the room was dark, he couldn't tell who his tormentors are but he had a guess, he knew who it might be. "Please let me out, I beg of you!" he yelled out pleadingly, looking around the dark room, he couldn't see anything, he couldn't even locate his way out of the room. "Please I am begging you, I will do anything you want, just let me out!" he cried out. Silence enveloped the room immediately, the footsteps, light chuckles and muffled laughter that he was once hearing had ceased, this scared him the more. Suddenly one of the people in the room burst into laughter and then another followed. The light was turned on and Hudson raised his head looking at who they were.He swallowed hard with difficulty, it was as if there was a lump in his throat.Ethan had an angry expression plastered on his face, he
Hudson's eyes flickered open and then he closed it sharply back almost immediately, due to the bright light reflecting in his eyes, he opened it back slowly to get adjusted to the bright light in the room. He opened his eyes to see a white ceiling, he tilted his head and looked around the room, wondering where he was. There was a calendar hung on the wall beside him. “Sunday?” he muttered after seeing the day, wondering how he got here, he furrowed his eyebrows thinking harder, he remembered jumping into the water., He saw wires and needles connected to his body, he pulled them out and stood off the bed he was lying on, walking towards the door as fast as his staggering legs could carry him., he pushed the door open and stepped out but he was stopped by two men on suit, they looked like they have been guarding the room. He wasHudson looked at them with a confused expression on his face. “Sorry young master, we can’t allow you out, your father ordered us not to” one of them said
Hudson opened his mouth in awe as he stepped out of the car, he had felt that the man was rich but not as rich as what he was seeing now. He gulped in hardly, his throat making a sound as the saliva traveled down his throat with a bit of difficulty, he stared at the gigantic building and the beautiful garden that was in front, he looked to his side and saw the garage filled with luxury cars."What the f*ck" he muttered under his breath, staring around the whole compound, amazed by what he was seeing, never in his life had he thought that he would ever see something like this. "Yeah I know, it isn't unusual for the first time, they would soon mean nothing to you" the old man said. "Huh?" Hudson turned back, he heard the old man say something but it wasn't really clear to him. He chuckled, shook his head and cleared his throat, "Nothing son, this way" he said clearly and pointed the way that leads straight to the entrance of the house"Oh, sorry" Hudson muttered, he had been mesmer
