Anger issues

I woke up by 5, going to make my self some lasagna, before heading to the shower .

I did my hair in a top knot before leaving the shower

I picked out a black leather jacket with an inner gray top and a black jeans with black sneakers,as I went down .

I quickly entered the car with hermione and Daniel. We arrived there quickly before my plane left.

"bye , call me when you get there" hermione said

"bye" Daniel said

"bye guys"

I quickly hugged them and got on the plane . the ride was quiet and boring so I just put on my headphones through out the whole ride.

We made some few stops , I got some Souvenir's. After a two days trip , we arrived .

I already had a someone waiting for me to take me to my hotel Waiting with my cab.

" Miss cora, we have have a cab waiting for you"

I entered the car and the driver took off, I looked outside the window imagining if someone could ever love me again , at times I feel very insecure.

But just thinking about the past gives me goosebumps, I thought Malcolm and I had something in common but I was wrong.

From the minute he left to go and meet his parents , I knew everything was falling ap....

I was cut off by the driver

"excuse me ma, we are here"

"oh, thank you"

I got off from the car and took my boxes inside, where I saw the reception. She's Petit(small) but looks in her late twenty's, has brown eyes and blonde hair packed in a bun.

"Good afternoon your welcome to Neustra casa villa"

She seemed too joyful, am guessing she just broke up with her boyfriend and she's trying to pull herself together before going home and crying while eating a bucket of ice cream.

"ma"

And i am snapped back away from my thoughts

"sorry, um...miss cora Wilson"

"yes , we have you on the fifth floor"

"Okay, thank you"

"let me just call someone to help you with your luggage"

"Okay"

The room was very large , everything was in glass and it had a jacuzzi. This was bigger than my place , I couldn't even compare it .

I quickly unpacked, showered changed into a maroon off shoulder gown and did my hair into a twist and pink style , grabbed my camera and my purse and went out for strolling.

I know am meant to be resting before tomorrow but I like walking around .

The place is wonderful so many views , I came across this place and they were skateboarding , then this guy came to meet me, he has brown hair ....

"hey I'm Kendall, but you can call me ken, i and my friends, we were wondering if you would like to join us"

"I'm cora"

"sure"

"so when did you start skateboarding"

"when I was 10, my dad taught me "

"cool"

"hey guys , see who came to join us"

"Hi"

"this is Alex,Hudson and jack"

"hey" they say in chorus

"Okay, let's start"

"here's yours" jack said

"thanks"

"you sure you're up for this"Alex says

I laugh a bit then say

"watch and see"

Its been long but I still know to skate board.

"ready, Go!" Logan says at the ending point

They are good, but I find my way tying with ken.

"we have a winner"

"still think am not up for this"

"I'm impressed, I know a good restaurant if want to grab dinner"

"sure"

"just follow me"

We arrive there in two minutes .

"this is it , they serve one of the best lobsters in town"

"okay"

We grab ourselves our seat,then a lady comes to take our order.

"what would you like to order"

"i would like the jerk grilled lobster"

"umm. Since this my first time here just order for me"

"Okay, she will have the vegan twist"

Our food is brought, we talk for a while before we finally leave.

"can I have your number"

"sure"

"bye"

"bye"

I order an Uber, and go to the hotel. I

showered quickly and head for bed.

The auction

I wake still feeling sleepy , I open my phone and its past 10

"s**t"

I'm now realizing that i shouldn't have asked him waiting, while I was in the hotel.

Don't worry I will explain who he is to you later.

I quickly showered , put my hair in a swept back style and thrown a t shirt and a ripped jeans . on my way down I ordered an uber.

And tell him to take me to the rose ville cafe

I arrive at the cafe past eleven. Hoping to meet my manager there.

"Good afternoon sorry am late"

"it's no problem, but I do have to tell you the painting you wanted to get someone else wants to buy it"

"who is that?"

"His name is Mr raphael, he also needs the painting I don't why.

But I did ask him to come over so you both could talk and settle the matter"

"And you didn't care to inform me earlier, before letting him come"

"I'm sorry , i didn't tell you but I knew you would be furious but it was better if you meet him in person, he had a tight schedule"

"Really" I raise an I brow

I'm still very furious, I don't think some one would be interested in this particular painting

"He just arrived"

A strong scent I can't describe yet , but the face seems familiar, very familiar

"cora , this is mr Raphael"

"raphael, this is cora"

"Nice to meet you again"

I suddenly realize he is the guy , I met at the party

"we are just acquaintance"

"cora is a lovely name"

"thank you "

"Now can we go straight to business about the painting"

"oh, yes the painting. There's an auction for it, turns out that it isn't only me who wants to buy it"

I am very furious right now. No one had interest in it what happened

"how come people had interest in this particular painting now a month ago, people saw this as a meaningless painting"

"someone recently found out the painting is worth millions , it was painted long ago but the place where the man did the painting got destroyed

But he his it between walls until historians came and discovered it . Then you found it and later the word got out"

"so, when is the auction"

"This Wednesday, afternoon"

Wonderful.

"okay, since you have gotten to know that , I have to be on my way now"

" okay, I will see you tomorrow at the hotel"

I ordered an uber and went back to the hotel. I had run a bath and changed I to something comfortable. Then i later received a message Kendall.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ken - hey, do you want to do something fun

Me - that's fine, where are you

I was actually bored and I didn't want to stay here doing nothing.

Ken - I and a few friends are going to see some of the animals at the park

Me - oh okay

Ken - i will pick you up in ten , just text me where you are"

Me - sure

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I sent him my hotel address and started getting dressed.

I just threw on a spaghetti dress and did my hair in a pony tail.

*************

Kendall

I was going out with my friends and thought I would invite cora along , she is pretty though .

I had already called her and she said she would said send the address

I have a new notification

One new message

*********

Cora

Neustra cassa villa hotel.

I will call logan and tell him about cora.

"hey bro"

"whats up"

"i invited cora to come with us but will like some minutes later after you guys"

"alright then"

Then the line goes silent . I had already ordered an. Uber to come pick me up so when had gone outside he was already outside.

"where are you going"

"Neustra cassa villa hotel"

"Okay"

We got there in five minutes. The hotel is very large and one of the best presently. I make my way inside the hotel.

"excuse, please I'm waiting for miss cora"

"Okay, just give me a minute let me get her on the phone, your name please"

"Kendall"

"hello ma , Kendall is here waiting

OK, yes I will tell him"

"she said she will be there"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The phone rings

"hello , ma you have kendall waiting for you again at the lobby"

"Okay, thank you for telling me , tell the person I will be there now "

I grabbed my purse and headed downstairs.

"hey"

"Are you ready to go"

"yeah"

"you look lovely by the way"

"thanks"

The silence was killing.

"so where exactly are we headed"

"Dolphine cover Ochoa rios"

"oh"

" we are here"

"thank you"

I said while stepping out of the car. I was going to ask where are the others but I already saw logan coming towards us .

"hey bro"

"hey"

"hi cora"

"hey"

We went to meet other people.

"cora this is thea , Allison and you remember Hudson"

"hi"

"guy's, this is cora"

"thea is Hudson's boyfriend"

"okay, well let's go" Kendall says

I know you may think it only dolphins but there other creatures there like sharks and stingrays (a/n stingrays are a group of rays which are cartilaginous).

I did my research.

"here we are"

"please six jackets" Hudson tells the lady

"we are going swimming"

I say looking shocked

"yeah"

"you know shark also stays there Right"

"yes but we built a wall to separate both places to allow people to swim and see the dolphins"

"oh , its cool I guess"

Too close

We went swimming , I was still worried it wasn't same because I had never done something like this before but I made sure not to leave and expression on my face hopefully if I did more one would notice.

"hey , come and meet fin "

"umm. Hi fin"

Gosh, it was so smooth and gentle , they really trained this animal.

"what's that face for"

"what face"

" exactly , the face you have on right now"

I look at him confused and still worried, like how can you be so calm when that wall right there could collapse at any moment

"you're still worried about the wall don't worry"

I just huffed an okay

"let me show you the rest of the family"

I was shocked because I thought it was only that one,

We were going there until I heard a sound , like it was a rock .

"what was that "

"nothing , you just need to be free"

"hi " Thea said

"see it was Thea"

"what happened"

"she has been nervous about the wall falling down"

"yeah so am I , I hate sharks"

"Okay, you guys should attach it to yourselves that way you won't lose each other"

We attached it to ourselves and went to see the children.

"the mother died when they were young, she got infected.....

As she was talking, the noise became louder so I turned around to see the rocks already coming our way, I was right

"Guys swim!!!!"

I said trying to pull them away until they turned around and saw the rocks coming nearer to us .

I was about to climb up on the deck but the waves were strong and caused one of the rocks to hit the rope and caused it to cut the rope.

I was pushed back by the water, it was too strong , a rock landed on my side of the rope, I was struggling to come out but I eventually got weak and stopped trying.

*******

Kendall's P.O.V.

"we need to get her out now"

"no you have to wait i have called for back "

I paced left and right knowing that right

there she can die or maybe not. I feel so bad everything is my fault , I shouldn't have asked her to come .

"what's taking so long"

"he's already here"

He jumped into the water quickly,we waited until he came out and shouted

"she needs CPR , now she passed out probably because she took too much water"

The lady that was with us rushed over to her and started doing CPR , after a while she spat water out of her mouth .

I was relieved that she woke up and her beautiful brown eyes were looking so confused.

"i think its best if she goes back home and rest " the lady said

"yeah , I will take her "

"I will order an uber" logan said

*******************

Back to Cora pov

I woke up feeling confused the last thing I remembered was me in the water trying to move . But the little I could hear was

"she needs to go home and rest"

Logan helped me up to the uber they had already ordered.

"you need me to follow you"

"don't worry I'm good"

We arrived there in a matter of minutes, I paid him with transfer and went upstairs laid down on my bed and slept off

4:30am

Uggggghhhhh , my head hurts badly the last thing last thing I remember was logan driving me back to the hotel .

I stood up and went to the shower and stayed there for more than 30min trying to wrap my head around what happened yesterday.

-swimming

- I remembered tying the rope

- rocks falling

-sharks....

"Ahh"

I groaned in pain. I guess trying to remember things write now wouldn't work for me . i got out and after changing into something more comfortable , I didn't bother checking my phone.

I just laid on my bed and started a video call with Michelle and hermione its been long since I have spoken to them .

"hey"

"hey!!!" Hermione says

"hey, sorry I haven't called I have been having the craziest time here" I say

"how come you guys are awake by this time"

"really, I have an early presentation" I hear Michelle say

"i left jacks house early because i didn't want to do the walk of shame, will talk about him later let's talk about you first"

"you can't even imagine"

"I'm listening" hermione said

"so I checked and got my self sorted out. I decided to take a stroll well their was this guy he invited me over and we started hanging...."

" Mhmm, someone is finally moving on" hermione said

"really , I can't wait for when you start dating"

"i have and don't change the subject"

"Okay, so he's nice and cute, we went out and I passed out and when I woke up one of his friends had already ordered an uber and dropped me at the hotel"

"so what are their names, you can't just say something like that without their names" hermione says

"the first is Kendall but I call him ken , the other is logan"

"oooouuuu, so which one do you like more"

"i really don't know ken is sweet but logan is like he wants to say something but he just can't and I'm...I'm getting really frustrated"

" i can't really remember one part sha , tell the guy you have been dating"

"i can't say it now, we have to talk in person"

"this is serious"

" Michelle!!!!"

"how was the honeymoon, hmmm"

" it was beautiful he took me to panama then to brazil and finally to new Zealand were we spent our time mostly there"

" that's so sweet, aww"

" I need to sleep, am going to the hotel tomorrow for the tiles and the design"

"Okay but, when it's done I want a free stay anytime"

" will see"

"bye"

"bye love" hermione said

"bye girls" Michelle

I finally turned off my laptop, after contemplating of I should on my phone or not i decided to wait till later.
