Well, well, well, if it isn’t the “Alex wanna be”, who would it be?
A school mate of Fiona walked up to and sat next to her.
Hey!
Erica intervened when she noticed Fiona picking a cutlery from the table.
Go meet your mother, Daniel! She’s looking for you.
Did you know Fiona has a weekend out with the Osborn’s? He asked.
Erica acted surprised to hear what he had to say.
OMG! Your sister did not tell you?
For the last time, Daniel go to your mother. If you don’t want a a pocket knife in your palm.
He ran off and both sisters laughed over it.
Are you done with your meal? We have to leave to get ready for tomorrow.
She gave a hand, signaling a waiter to their table.
What do you still want Fiona? Let’s go!
I’m coming, just a minute.
She watched her talk to some of her friends who had just entered the inn.
I’ll be waiting for you outside, she yelled at her.
Hey!
Hello! Erica beheld the owner of the voice that tapped her shoulder.
YOU! (they said simultaneously)
She hissed and stepped away from Alex.
He held her by the hand and pulled her to himself.
Her heart played a fast on her, what is this feeling? She questioned in my her mind. What makes him think he can hold me this way. She wanted to freedom but her body wanted something else, a desire she could not fathom.
Erica Hall, he said and locked looks with her.
Who told you my name? Let go of me!
Stop struggling, you’re only making it harder for you.
“I will make you suffer”, he whispered and planted a kiss on her outer ear.
Whatever you plan on doing will not work. She wiped her ear with her hands and angrily walked out of the inn. For a minute, she had forgotten about Fiona.
I can’t stand a minute around him, I’ll wait here for Fiona, I hope she comes out soon.
What the hell?
I don’t even know his name.
How the hell does he know my name?
Could it have been Paul?
A million and one questions ran through her head.
Just when she was about going in to call Fiona, a car passed and splashed water on her.
Could this day get any worse? She screamed in frustration
Are you mad also?
She recognized the voice. It was Alex
You need new clothes and a hair-do.
Thank you for the reminder but it’s none of your f*****g business.
Okay mi lady.
Ciao!
Wait!
He smiled mischievously and turned to her. Yes
What is your name?
Thank you for the question, but it’s none of your business.
What do you mean by that?
Alex ignored her and walked into his car. He made signs to her saying “I am watching you’ and tapped on Edward to drive off.
Arrrrrggggghhhh!
Her level of frustration had increased and all she wanted to do right was lay on her bed.
Erica! Erica!
You won’t believe who I just saw.
Who is that? She handed her the bag she was holding
Alex Osborn.
Who’s that?
What! You don’t know Alex Osborn?
No offense sis, but are you sure you’re in this country?
Erica shook her head and stated walking in the direction of the subway, while Fiona followed her, narrating all that while she was inside.
Alex Osborn is the COO of the OSb. Industries and soon he’ll be the Chief Executive Officer after his father’s retirement.
And he is the same person who’s estate who are visiting this weekend.
Walk faster sis, we have to park our things for tomorrow.
Mr. Alex asked after you.
Does he know me?
No. He asked if I had come out alone, I told him I was out with my older sister and you had gone out to get something.
Okay.
Can you try to keep up? So, we don’t miss the train.
They ran but were to too late, the train had just left.
Hmmmm…Erica sighed in disappointment. Let’s take a cab.

Trion ran as fast as his legs could take him.
He came back with Catherine. A woman in her sixties, she was the head maid in the estate. She was colored but Alex never discriminated her based on her race. She had watched him grow and he relied on her guidance whenever he needed motherly advice. His mother was present but it felt like she was far away.
Catherine! Alex hugged her.
This gesture isn’t ordinary, what do you want Alex?
Can’t I hug my beloved nanny anymore?
Alex (she called his name suspiciously)
Well, I am expecting guests tomorrow and they’ll be spending the weekend. I’ll need you to make ready everything for their comfort.
How many of them?
They are two of ‘em. A teen of about 14 and her older sister, I am not sure of her sister’s age. But from the description, she may be in her early thirties or late twenties.
Like I said, I am not sure because I have never seen her.
Okay.
Are there any special plans you have aside housing them?
Hmmm, nah!
They are spending just two nights and by Sunday, they’ll be out of my hair for good…
