"Hey." Kyle closed the door to the ladies changing room. "I wouldn't advise that." Candice picked her bag and looked at him. "Just like I wouldn't advise you avoiding me, but you do it all the same so.." he shrugged. "I don't want to talk to you." "Well, I think you've done enough sulking, it's been three weeks, so...." He rested against the table stand. She opened her bag, removed her stun gun and shot him. "Arrgh!", he went on his knee and wrights in pain. "You judge me, you judge me without knowing a damn thing about me." she pulled the wire and replace the gun with another. "Ah ah ah!" Kyle laid on his back and looked at her as he gasp for air. "You... You acuse me of denying Janice happiness, you awful son of a b***h, you used me to protect your friend and still think I've sulked enough, well I'll sulk for as long as I wish to." she shot him again and watched as he wright in pain. "Good, I feel a tiny bit better but like I said earlier, I wouldn't advise been alone with me right now." she smirked then walked away. ***** "Are you really never going to speak to me again?" Janice asked furiously, it's been almost two months since the incident and Candice had spent it avoiding her, which was easy, half of the time she wasn't home, the other half she spent with the kids. "Of course not." she closed her wardrobe, "I'll forever be speaking with you, even if you ask me not to." "What is this?" Janice was taken aback, "I thought you were mad at me?" "Is that why you come prepared for a fight?" she checked her dress in the mirror then picked another, "you are so out of luck, this girl here has no such intention." Janice smiled then sat on her bed, "then shall we talk?" "I have a better idea." "Really?" "Yeah, let's go on a date." "Date?" "Yeah." she threw the dress to her sister, "it's been years since we had some time to ourselves." "True but what about the kids?" "Mandy will be here with her granny." "Really?" The door bell rang and they both look out the window. "They are here, get changed then come down." Candice went down to receive the ladies while Janice joined her a few minutes later, They said goodbye to the kids than left hand in hand, they went horse back riding, watch a movie, at lunch, got a massage, went shopping then had dinner, they decided to take a walk before going home. "Clang!" the church bell rang. "Oh it's the church bell..." Janice looked up. "Let's pray." Candice pulled her sister then they ran into the church where they knelt, prayed and light a candle before leaving. "You should say it." Janice tugged at her sister hand, "we will have to go home after this." "I do not agree with the lord." "Huh?" "I can't love my enemy nor forgive or accept them." "Candice you were the one who decided not to fight from the beginning." "Still haven't changed my mind." "Then?" She shook her head and looked at her, "listen, if you decide he's the one that makes you happy, then there's nothing I can do about it and I doubt whining will help." Janice smiled. "I'll just let you follow your heart but if you ever need a shoulder to cry on, mine has no baggage, it for you." Janice smiled then hugged her, "thank you, it must not have been easy." "It's wasn't, I'm 99% sure I'll regret it but I'm also101% convince I'll regret it more if I hold you back, since I never let anything hold me back." Janice hugged her tightly again, "thank you." Candice heaved, "let's go home, I miss the kids." she scoffed, "I guess that makes me a real mother now." Janice smiled then patted her back, "there was never a moment you weren't." "Well since you are cool with it..." Janice pause by their lawn "Not cool, tolerating." "Okay since you are being tolerable, does that mean you will be cordially with him?" "Yes." "And his friends? "Yes?" "No more pouring them water, electrifying, stabbing with pen?" She shrugged. "Candice?" "If they don't try to force me to do that which I didn't wish to." "They were trying to... How do you even get a stub gun?" "I don't care, they stay away from me, I stay away." "Okay." "And you won't threaten to quit work?" "I'm quitting in march." "What! please don't." "It's not because of you, it's been my plan to work only for two years, I did it to gain experience anyway." "Experience." "Yeah, it was just another stepping stone to my dream." "Really, then what do you intend to do?" "The plan is a bit wobbly right now but I'm still working on it, when it's ready I'll let you know, and if it's not ready by march, I'll will work with the view for an extra year." "Okay." Janice patted her shoulder "anything you decided to do, I'll support you." "I know." The sisters smiled at each other then made their way in. ***** "Hey?" Kyle waved at Candice who was walking out of a restaurant. "Hey." she smiled and walked towards him. "Get in, I'll take you home." "No I won't." she smiled at him. He looked at her warily, "you are weird." She raised a brow questioningly "Sorry, I meant you emit a vibe, I don't know it yet but it's having me on alert." "I do not have my gun." "I checked." "Then you know there's nothing weird, I just don't want to get in your car because you might not take me home." Kyle exclaimed, "I fooled you once and now you are saying you can't trust me." "I didn't say I can't trust you again although I won't, I'm just saying the smartest thing I could do, is not get in this car." "Wow." he shook his head, "Janice said you are no longer angry." "I'm not, if we hadn't met today, I would have invited you tomorrow." "Liar." Candice brought out her diary then showed him the next day, visit Kyle. He smiled and looked at her, "if you were going to invite me out then why aren't you letting me give you a ride." "Because you said you will take me home." Kyle raised a brow. "It's obvious you want to talk to me, but you promised to take me home, which I know will not happen except I talk to you, so getting in this car will put me at a disadvantage," she c****d her head, "if you want to talk to me today, walk me down to Shelby's, if not, I'll contact you tomorrow." "What were you going to tell me tomorrow?" "If I tell you, there will be no reason to meet tomorrow." "So you think." he replied corkily, "but I can always come up with one." "You will try but you won't succeed." she turned and began to walk away. "Shall we see?" She turned to him, "if I ever decided to fall in love again, it will be you." "Is that a good thing or not?" "Depends on how you take it." "Then I'll take it as good, there seams to be hope." "So you think but this girl is done with love, I'm never gonna give love a priority again, so they's never going to be a us." "Someone told me I'm a good negotiator, I wonder what it will take to convince you, I thought the chemistry was clear." "Of course, it would be foolish not to acknowledge that." she walked back to him, "even at this moment." she trail his lips with her thumb, "I'm still thinking about kissing you." "So what? are you suggesting that we have s*x till the chemistry burns out." "Nah." she shook her head, "why ruin a good friendship, I know a better way." "Which is?" She looked around then back at him, she lean closer and kiss him deaply through the car window, then dash across the road and down the alley before he could even registered what was going on. ***** "Will walked into the living room just as Kyle walked in with a smile on his face, "so what happened this time?" "Huh?" Kyle looked at him before he took his seat opposite Ryan. "I can't believe this..." Will sat next to Kyle, "after all I did to help you guys with your love life, I can't believe none of you is willing to give me any update." Kyle stole a glance at him then proceeded to flip through the TV. "It's not as if you tell us about yours." Ryan shrugged. "What can I say, it's not as dramatic as yours." "You heard that right?" Ryan turned to Kyle. "I can't believe he just admitted to having a love life." Kyle patted Will, "Did you just upgraded?" Ryan winked at Will. "What?" "Yeah, is that why she's quitting?" "She's quitting?" Will exclaimed. "Yeah." she gave her two months notice, "you didn't know, she's leaving in January..." Will shooked his head, "she didn't say, but I doubt that's why, nothing changed in our relationship." he then dropped some files on the table, "will you stop flipping through and just keep it still." "What is that?" Ryan tried to grab a file but Will pack it up immediately. "Ha ha!, this..." he held on to the file, "I'll tell you after you fill me in." "Eish!" Ryan groaned "for a man, you are such a gossiper." Ryan relaxed against the sofa. "Don't tell him, he's information might not be worth it." Kyle replied. "It is worth it." "He's bluffing." "It's my findings on pride enterprises." Kyle switched off the TV and turned to him just as Ryan sat up then extend his hand for the file. "Love story first, I want all the juicy details." he relaxed and crosses his legs. "Fine, Janice and I decided to take its slow." "Slow?." "Very slow." "And the sister?" "She promised not to interfere." "Really?" he turned to Kyle. "She was strange when I saw her today but i think it's a positive vibe." "Positive vibe." Ryan asked. "Yeah, she was smiling, confident, cheerful, although it did leave me uneased." "Cheerful is good." "For who?" Ryan and Will exchange looks. "Exactly but let's drop it for now, what in the file?" Will distribute the files to them, "Candice been buying prides share she own about 65 percent of the company." "What?" Kyle exclaimed. "Does Janice know?" Ryan asked. "No, it's all Candice." "And where did she get the money?" Ryan asked. "Pride shares isn't worth that much, they've had a steady decline for years now, isn't that what you were waiting for, to take over just before bankruptcy so as to underrate your family involvement?" "Yes but this buying began, five years ago and she was broke and even the shares was worth more then." "True." he passed them another paper, "it's comes from a certain J&J account." "What do they do?" "Nothing, it's a registered trademark but other than buying of shares, they've done nothing else and Candice has the some access to the account." "If it was five years ago, it means she was 17, and just in college, where could she have gotten the money and what did she do to get it?" Kyle asked. "Are you crazy?, what are you thinking and you tell me you wonder why she doesn't trust you?" Ryan lashed at him. "No, I'm not thinking like that, I'm just worried she might be planning some sort of revenge, she thinks your family killed hers you know..." Ryan heaved. "And she might do something... drastic for it." "Yeah, that sounds quite like her." Will nodded. The three guys paused then talked at the same time. "I'll see what Shelby knows." "I'll ask Janice." "I'll ask around." Kyle grinned, "I guess this is settled then." "Yeah." Will nodded. "Now to the most important agenda." Ryan heaved causing his friends to look at him. "Ahem,... Jani... Janice...was pregnant." "Pregnant." Will exclaimed. "Wow, nice one." Kyle folded his arms and relaxed, "in just two months..." "No...no, no, not now, I said was, 6 years ago." Kyle and Will exchange looks, "the quadruplets?" "They aren't quadruplets, she gave birth to twins as did Candice." "Wow, Will exclaimed, "then why did they resemble each other that much?" "That will be thanks to my asshole of a brother who r**e Candice and got her pregnant." "What?" Kyle stood then turned to Ryan. "Is this true?" He nodded, "I don't know the details, but I know he got her pregnant in high school and then denied it, which led to their grandparents heart attack that later resulted in their death." he ran his hand through his head. "Wow!" Will exclaimed "no wonder she hates your guts." he looked at Kyle, "are you okay?" "I accused her." He squeeze his hand into a fist, "I thought... I thought she was been bitter." "She is bitter." Will shrugged. "She has every right to be, she wouldn't even talk to me." "No one will to volunteer such info." "I didn't even know and I said those things to her." Will looked at him, "If it makes you fell better it's all because you didn't know." "Damn!" he punch his hand, "There's more." Ryan looked at both of them 'More?" "Not.. bad news." "Then good..." "It's depends." "What is it?" "I asked Janice If I could meet the kids and we got invited for thanks giving." Kyle nodded then walked out of the house. "I..." Ryan stood to stop him but Will held his hand, "he will be fine." he patted Ryan shoulder then walked away too.
