Chapter 25: Chapter 25

No, I don't want Eliza to come with us. It's not because I don't want her company but I just want to be alone with Mari.

“no no. You two go have fun. I have to cook for you. So I'll be here when you come back, just buy some snacks for me” Eliza said and my heart leaped for joy. Thank God

“are you sure?” Mari asked

“yeah, super duper sure”

“all right then. I'll go home and change then come back for you, okay?” I said to Mari and she nodded.

“I'll go now” I said

“I'll see you to the car” she declared and I nodded.

We walked out of the room and luckily, no Simona in sight. We came out of the house and the neighborhood was empty.

“how is Wini?” she asked

“she's fine. I received her call earlier”

“and how's that your best friend. Edward right?”

I chuckled “Eduardo. He's fine. I saw him when I went to get you food”

I remembered what he told me, that I couldn't get a girl. And what Layla said, that I shouldn't break her heart. It made me start thinking more about my reason for being Mari's friend. My friendship with ladies whether romantic or just normal has always ended up in the gutters. It has never been successful. I guess that's why Layla thinks this one would also crumble. Do I want that?

“I'll see you later then” Mari's voice came echoing through my head. I looked at her

“yeah... Yeah you will” I muttered and she nodded

“drive carefully” she said and I chuckled and opened the door to my car

“be a good girl” I said and she laughed and moved backwards. I closed my door and started the car before driving off.

Marigold

I walked back into my room and brought out a white shirt and a pink flayed skirt. The outfit is quite cute.

I brought out my white flip flops and cleaned them.

“isn't he the cutest thing ever” Eliza said standing at the door

“yeah” I simply replied

“and I deliberately didn't want to go with you. Just so you could have your privacy you know”

I looked at her and she winked. I just smiled and shook my head

“I think Will ikes you” she said sitting on the bed with a chocolate bar in her hand

“what type of like?”

“you know... The like” she said and I laughed

“you're something else Eliza. Stop thinking about stuff like that” I said and took a towel to go and bathe.

I bathed and got dressed. I packed my hair in a cute pony tail and used my body cream to rub my edges and make it shiny. I don't have any hair oils.

“he's here” I heard Eliza's voice from the hallway to my room.

“okay” I said and rubbed my palms together. I took one last look at the mirror and walked outside. He didn't enter the house, he was leaning against a black car. It was different from the other one he brought earlier

He looked at me and smiled. I was nervous because I was going to the beach with a celebrity. What if paparazzi invaded us? What if people judge me of my looks? What if my people know I hang out with him? My life would never be the same

“hey” I said and he brought out a cap and gave me. It was white

“you have to wear that too. It's quite sunny and you don't want us to be recognized. It's not a private beach” he stated and I nodded.

He opened the door to the car and I sat in.

I inhaled the sweet cool air in the car. It also smelt really nice. I looked around the car and I smiled. This is swell

Will entered the car and started the it.

“you look really beautiful. I had to control myself not to stare too much” he said as he drove out

“haha, and what should I say about you now? You're so cute” I said and he chuckled

He was wearing a black shirt and black short trousers but his shoes were white. I was wondering if he wasn't going to wear a cap too.

As he drove on, I wanted to ask him questions about his sister and him. Why they look so alike when they are actually of different gender. That's like scientifically impossible.

Will suddenly parked the car by the roadside

“what's wrong?” I asked and he looked at me then at the steering wheel

“I'm troubled. I ...” he stopped and looked at me again

“Marigold” he called

“what's wrong Will?” I asked and he cleared his throat and started the car

“I'm okay. Let's go” he said and started the car and drove back into the road.

But I feel something is wrong with him
