Chapter 33: Chapter 33
Xavier and Zhavia had set their wedding date to be on the same day and their friends couldn’t be any happier. They were glad that the twins decided to get hitched.
Zhavia and Kass run around for dress fittings, cake testing, venue bookings in addition to their work.
“I wish the days get closer so we can finally get married. These errands are so tiring.” Kass sat in the coffee shop rubbing her sore feet.
“Urgh, tell me about it. It’s so, so tiring. I just want to lay in bed and sleep.” She yawned as the waitress got them their cup of coffee.
Myra and Bryant had gotten married a couple of weeks back. Her brother Green was present for the ceremony with his family and she couldn’t be any happier. She was happy and at the same time sad because Jay wasn’t present. He was there for her all her life.
How come it was now she had found happiness and was getting married that he fell sick?
How evil and cruel could life be?
What did he deserve to be paid back this way? Myra lamented in her office.
They were all praying he made it through this deadly sickness and came back to his family have and hearty. That’s all that they had wanted.
There was a knock on the door as Stace opened it. Her expression turned from happy to angry then to furious.
“What the hell do you want here?!” She fumed.
“I am here for Mindy.” Vince arrogantly added trying to walk in as she pushed him back.
“Who’s--- What do you want?” Mindy asked equally angry like Stace, perhaps even more.
“I want you back, I want you as my girlfriend. Kieran doesn’t deserve you.” He boasted.
A cheek of it.
He had the guts to stand in front of her and spew that nonsense?
Who the hell did he think he was? Mindy thought.
“Who the hell do you think you are? My guardian angel?” She fumed.
“You have no right, no right whatsoever to walk into my apartment and demand I be your girlfriend claiming my boyfriend Kieran isn’t good enough for me. You left, you walked out on us remember?” She gestured to the three of them.
“You chose fake ass Danica bitch on us, you let her change you to this. Where were you when I cried myself day and night to bed thinking you would come in through for me? Where were you when I would send notes and countless messages, voice mails and calls for you. Did you answer any of those?” She inquired.
“You threw our friendship out in the trash for some bimbo and now you think you can waltz in because I’m soft. Well, listen here Vincent, you left and I moved on and there’s no way, no fucking way I am letting a toxic person like you in my life no more. I know Danica bitch likes Kieran, you guys can do whatever you want to break is up, like how you set Devyn up making him make a bet to get Stace, use and dump her, whatever you try, boy. THERE. WILL. BE. NO.US.” She finished and Stace couldn’t be any proud of her friend than now.
“You will regret not choosing me.” He added.
“I won’t regret nothing Vincent, now get out and never ever come back.” She slammed the door on his face.
“We've got to file for a restraining order for that guy he’s messed up.” Stace advised.
“I thought so too, let me call mom.” Mindy said dialling her mom’s phone.
“Hey Ma.” She put the phone on loud speaker.
“Mindy, how are you and Stace?” She asked.
“We are fine Daya, but we need you to help us with something.” Stace said.
“I am all ears.” Daya added.
“We need to file for a retaining order on Vince.” Mindy spoke.
“You mean your ex-bestfriend Vince?” She asked. She was with Vince's mother having some coffee.
“Yeah.” Mindy added.
“What did that fool do this time around?” Vince's mom asked. She was aware of all that he had done and the new crowd he was following that was giving him awful advice. She had talked to him severally but you no avail. It’s better he learnt the hard way.
“ He’s acting weird and I have a feeling that he’s up to no good, Mrs Battello.” Mindy voiced out.”
“That child is driving me nuts, don’t worry, mom would file an order soon.” She said dropping the call.
“People love, people leave, people let down
People show up, roll up, people grow up
People move out, people disappear
People don't change, people rearrange
People miss the game, people lose
People try, people lie, can't look you in the eye
People suck, people fuck, people leave their shit behind
People throw up on the carpet, people trip up on the stairs
People laugh, people dare, people scare, people tell you what to wear
People jump, people sink, people float, people think
People fail, people hate what they don't know
People think they're worth nothing, people think they're worth the top
People drop, people love what they know, people think but don't stop
I keep looking in the mirror
'Til I see myself, I see myself, eh
Hey lover, will you blow my cover?
'Cause I'm not myself, I'm not myself
I wake up in the middle of the night
And I look like a stranger in the bathroom light
I, I keep looking in the mirror”
They jammed to Ider's song Mirror.
“Hilda, I thought you might be worried about what Mindy said and plead on Vince's behalf.” Data voiced out.
“He has to learn the hard way Daya, I have talked to him countless number of times but he wouldn’t listen. That Danica of a bitch is a bad influence and has ruined my Vince for me. Getting them a restraining order from Danica and Vince is the best thing to do. I advice you get a private bodyguard to keep an eye and ears on the ground concerning anything involving the girls.” She advised.
“I'm starting with the man in the mirror
I'm asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you want to make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
Na-na-na, na-na-na
Na-na, na-na”
“I always sang this song as an advice to him, but I guess he wanted to learn the hard way and this is the hard way.” Hilda urged.
“Okay, then I would do so right away.” Daya told as she picked her phone to make calls.
“Ma, there’s someone I would like you to meet, wait let me rephrase that. There are some people we would like you to meet.” Chloe said to Zara. She had come to visit Chloe and her friend Claudia for the weekends and then she was going back home.
“Okay, who are they?” She asked as her interest piqued.
“You would soon find out.” She said as the doorbell rang and Marcel and Rex walked in after Claudia opened the door for them.
“Have a seat.” Chloe smiled as they did.
“Mom, meet Marcel, my boyfriend and Rex, Claudia's boyfriend.” She introduced waiting for her mom’s reply.
“Finally! I’m proud of you both.” Zara said shaking the hands of the guys.
“Ma, no need to be petty about it.” Chloe playfully glared at her.
