DROWNING DESTINY

Chapter 26

"Naizen would give all his trust to someone he thought are worthy to be trusted but he was also a not so understanding when he would learn that he was fooled," Ellen stated that made Yvonne stopped with her was about to shallow the food she was chewing.

"You mean, he trusted me at his first sight?" she asked and she almost hit herself when she realized that the question was supposed to stay only inside of her mind. "A-I'm sorry, I mean, I was so lucky that I got the trust of Naizen without him having a second thought of me."

She immediately finished the last food she has in her plate. She grimaced with her question for that sh*t sounded different or maybe it was just her? She glances at Ellen and Ellen don't seem to understand tge question like how she understand it.

Damn! She could've learn how to control herself to never put her own self on embarrassment.

"I am not a hater of any people, Yvonne. However, Naizen was another story, he was so special to me and because he trusted you right away, I would also tell you this honestly, I will have my eyes on you," Ellen said seriously — seriously with that smile she couldn't point out what it means.

Ellen was so protected to Naizen and at first, she thought that Hector was Naizen's best of friend.

Yvonne was thinking that Naizen and Ellen really have a special relationship that even the intimate relationship could never have. Whatever tge relationship that these two have, she won't and will never step on that. She will be making her own path where there was no Ellen, no Hector and most especially no Naizen.

"You can keep your eyes on me, Ellen, that would be so much of a pride of me. I can assure you that Naizen's trust towards me will never be wasted," she said with so much full of determination in her voice.

"That's great! I love to hear that. You know, we can also be friends. I don't have girl of a friend that was very close to me. I mean, Hector, Naizen and I, we do have several circle of friend but they are not that friends friends," Ellen stated after finishing her food as well.

"Ellen!"

Both of them turned to see of whoever called Ellen's name despite of not being sure that she was the Ellen that has been called. However, when Ellen saw tge face of Hector's brother, Peter.

"He was the one that fetched us in the camp," Yvonne whispered upon seeing the smiling face of Peter.

Ellen glanced at her and smiled, "he was indeed," she answered and looked back to Peter who's walking towards them.

"Wow, oooh.. Hi, Yvonne," Peter greeted her with so much wide of a smile in his face.

She smiled awkwardly because of the warmth greeting from another person she do not know.

"H-hi," she responded and then heard Peter chuckled a little.

"Alright, so why are you here Pete? Are you with Hector? Are you going to eat? Damn, were done and were about to leave," Ellen asked continuously.

"Nope. I just saw you from the outside since the glass wall was transparent and I happened to know you even if I only saw the edge of your finger. I came here, hoping that you and your company, whom I didn't know first until I saw her face would have some of a left over that I can take home," Peter answered that turned the serious asking Ellen but also made Yvonne laughed.

"I swear, nothing about him was funny, Yvonne," Ellen told her rolling her eyes and Peter burst into laughter and Yvonne also cracked a smile that eventually became a laugh — a little laugh.

"I can sell my humour to her," Peter said to Ellen and wink and was also pointing at Yvonne.

"She would just take that for free. Yvonne was so practical and I have learn something from her today, she don't spend a penny to something she don't need, in short she don't spend a penny to something that is not worth it," Ellen brutally said that made Peter looked at her with such a sharp eyes.

"Ouch. You know that I admire you for having a honor during primary, secondary and tertiary level but I always never like you for having a sharp tongue with no direction," Peter retaliates that made Ellen raised her one brow and smirked.

Yvonne was just observing the two and she can say, this Peter was someone like Hector and Naizen in Ellen's life. Although Ellen didn't even mention Peter in everything she said, maybe this Peter was taking the path that is way too different nor maybe opposite to the three of them.

How lucky Ellen can get? She has everything in her pocket, she has everything the love that everyone wants and dreamt of.

"You know me, Pete. I am a fair person and I don't take other side for granted and instead, I gave it for real and clear," Ellen responded. She then raised her hand to can the waiter and it didn't take so long for the waiter to come close to them. "Bill please."

"Sh*t! You're leaving? I haven't ordered mine yet," Pete panicked and with the sight that Yvonne has about these two, she could say, there was never a dull moment when these was there around.

She haven't heard Hector saying with the same tone of Peter. When she first saw Hector, she knew he wasn't the hard nor cold type of a person. She knew he also has this crazy personality and it just happened that she she saw him at first during the risk of life.

"Yvonne, let's go?"

She went back to her senses after Ellen called her name and immediately nodded without understanding clearly the question.

"Nice meeting you again, Yvonne. I can't wait to spend time with you also," Pete told her and she just smiled and nodded at the man before she and Ellen turned their back at him.

"Was he older than Hector?" she asked whispering the moment they finally get out from the restaurant.

"Yes, they're actually almost twins for they both born in the same year. Imagine how powerful of a mom they have," Ellen said chuckling and grabbed her hand.

"Sh*t! Really?" she laughed and Ellen joined.

She couldn't imagine how is it feel to have a sibling, how she wish she had but she even hadn't seen the face of her mother.

"Really! And now, since we are done to your clothes, let's go to your shoes before we go to your other stuffs," Ellen said. Ellen looked at her with such questioning look when she immediately held her wrist to stop.

"Ahm... Ellen, can we not go to the store that only sell fancy? I mean, I can wear cheap item, I am not that delicate type of a person," she said trying to get a chance that Ellen would say yes. She couldn't decide if Ellen would insist of going into luxury store like where they went for her clothes for she had no money.

"Yvonne, we have bunch of money in these two platinum cards that Naizen handed me. Naizen was the most stingy person I have ever known in my whole life. I suggest you to spend everything he allowed you to spend," Ellen retaliates and just winked.

"He is stingy?" she asked like only that word he happened to understand in everything that Ellen explained.

"He is damn stingy and he uses the 'buy everything' to me and that made me said yes when she asked me a favore of coming with you here today. It's not free, Yvonne. For Naizen to treat other people was more impossible than the world war 3. So I am taking this part for granted," Ellen excitedly answered and didn't allow to speak for more when she was about to and immediately dragged her into this signature store.

"I have made a million of debt in just 1 day," she mumbled herself but Ellen heard it and just shrugged.

Yvonne didn't even touch any of the shoes and slippers displayed in this store and Ellen made her, not even touch but wear them right in the moment. She really don't feel like these things fit in her for she had never tried wearing this kind of thing.

Upon seeing herself in the huge mirror, she held her breath deeply and sighed after seeing herself like a different person for she was never look like this. Her tears immediately went out uninvited and all.

"Hey, are you okay?" Ellen immediately succored her after seeing her crying.

"Yes, I'm fine," she answered and wiped the tears flows in her cheeks. "I — I just couldn't believe that I got a chance to wear this stuff. I would never even just lay my eyes on this kind stuff way back for I know I couldn't afford it, but now, without spending a penny on my own, I got them all," she added.

"That is why don't hold back on getting everything you want. This platinum card of Naizen was his card for everything. Don't worry about him, this is not a debt of Naizen, this is his own saved money," Ellen stated while looking herself at this huge whole body mirror.

"However, I couldn't think of anything of a way for me to pay all of these. I hope it won't end me selling myself to be able to pay this million," she said sighing.

"Don't think of it yet, Yvonne. It was Naizen who asked you to do this and you didn't asked for this. I am certain that he would never asked you to pay for this but if you insist, you may pay for it but don't think of it so fast, take time," Ellen answered and handed her the pair of stiletto, "I think this would look better on you."

"You already have gotten 3 of them with different color," she responded while looking at the shoes.

"Nude, black and white, yes. How about red?" Ellen asked her that also made her look at Ellen. This pair that Ellen handed her was the red. "Not yet, so, we are taking that and that's final."

She left alone stiffened when Ellen flawlessly turned her back at her.

"Your friend was right, ma'am. That shoes would surely look good on you."

She turned to see the saleslady who spoke and told her the thing. The smiling lady met her. She looked back at the shoes she was holding and sighed. She smiled back at the saleslady before she hopelessly walked towards the cart — special cart made for the shoes purchased.

"Ellen, these are enough. Please, it would just be a waste if I have them stocked," she said trying to convince Ellen to stop getting some more.

"Will you listen to me for me, Ellen? You can use all these things for you will be attending all the even that we are going. And we usually goes to any events," Ellen responded trying to make her shut the hell up. However, Ellen's answer was taken her back.

She narrowed her eyes looking at Ellen trying to understand every line and between the lines of each word.

"Are you guys not going back to the force?" she asked that made Ellen stopped what she was doing and turned to face her.

"I don't know, depends on Naizen's decision," Ellen answered safely.

If that so, Naizen will be almost 24/7 staying in here that was out of the camp and all.
