Chapter 1
“No Dad. Come back, don't leave me please, Sis, please come to me. Ashley shook their lifeless body”
“What can I do without the both of you? Please, I need you guys don't do this to me.”
She woke up and started her silent sobs. It had been six years since she lost her dad and her elder sister, and she kept dreaming about them every night.
She checked the time and screamed, “ Oh no it's past eight”. She quickly put on her dress and ran out. She forgot to take her bath, though it was not the first time. She stopped a taxi and directed him to take her to “Chicken Coop Restaurant”.
Getting there, she quickly paid the taxi driver and sneaked into the store. There were no customers yet, so she started tip-topping to the kitchen.
“Hey Ashley, where did you think you are sneaking to,” Mr. Tife said, looking pissed off, that is her manager's name.
“Emm sir how was your night she bowed her head dramatically.”
“And how does that concern what I just asked you? He fired back at her in a high voice”
“Sir I know what you want, let me quickly get you water to drink, she said and rushed to the kitchen to join the others”
“Will she ever change?” Mr. Tife said he sat patiently waiting for his water but it never came.
“Ha, Ashley where is the water”
“Am busy Mr. Tife she shouted from the kitchen”
“What, who is the manager between me and you”
“Here is your water sir” She quickly brought the water, dropped it, and rushed back.
Later in the evening, after working in all her work places, she started going home.
"Today's work was stressful, I think I should go and meet Mickey," she said.
Mickey's Apartment
“Who is there?” Mickey's voice came from inside.
“Open up it's me, Ashley”.
“Oh am coming” she quickly opened the door for her”.
“Come here” they hug, they are best friends.
“Have missed you” Mickey said in a low tone
“Have missed you more” And am sleeping here tonight. She said
“No no, you can't, my boyfriend is coming over tonight and we want to have a nice time together alone”.
“I wished I had one”
“Don't worry you can continue wishing all you want till it will be granted”
“Let me get going then”.
Alright, I will see you off!!
“No don't bother but have it in mind that you chase me out of your house,” Ashley said sadly.
Mickey pulls her into a hug, I don't mean it that way, you know what, let's go somewhere.
The Lucas’ Family Mansion
Jack's legs are currently on his mother's leg Juliette, and she is massaging her legs.
“Mr. Donald's hand came out of nowhere and dragged Jack's legs from his wife's leg”.
“Donald what the meaning of this is, he is your son for crying out loud”.
“Dad, what did I do this time? His voice can only make Donald go crazy.”
“Are you crazy? What's your leg doing on my wife's lap?”. He blurted out
“But she is my Mom and she is just giving me a massage”. Or you want a massage too.
“I don't trust you with my wife”. He said
“Alright sit here and watch her give me a message”.
Juliette watched as her husband and son argued. “ Jack, give me your leg, let me continue from where I stop,” she said.
As Jack was about to give her his legs, His father already placed his legs there stopping him. Massage my legs instead honey!!
“You can Stay and have her lap to yourself, and I am not coming home today,” He said, and started leaving.
“Thanks, son, you are the best son ever please you can add an extra day if you want,” Donald said with excitement in his voice.
Juliette, feeling so angry with her, left the sitting room. “Honey, what's going on? Should I join you?” he asked.
“I will be upstairs, come and be fast” she replied.
“Yes, Donald jumped, rushing upstairs towards their room”.
Trump Ice Cream Restaurant
Ashley and Mickey have just arrived at the most expensive Ice Cream Restaurant in New York.
“Mickey, you could have told me, I would have chosen a cheaper place. It's too expensive here,” Ashley said.
“Don't worry, it's on me”
“I never said it was going to be me. I can't spend today's salary just to get one ice cream cone, it's never going to happen.” She is protecting her handbag. Making Mickey laugh.
“Ya what's funny,” she said, looking pissed off by Mickey's laughter.
“Nothing Ma. Please let's go in”.
“Because of your stupid laughter, I am going to take five cones of ice cream, and it's on you” she yelled and started going in.
While Mickey started struggling to hold her laughter at how she was walking.
They got in and bought two bowls of ice cream instead of cones.
They sat down and started licking their ice cream slowly.
That was when Jack came in, he went straight to the server, and after getting his bowl of ice cream, he sat down close to Ashley's table and started licking his ice cream too.
“Wow, he is so cute”. Mickey gushed.
Dragging Ashley's attention, who was just noticing Jack's Presence, she stood up, carried her bowl, and walked over to Jack's Table.
“Hi, she waved at him." He is truly handsome, she said in her mind.
“Yes, how can I help?” he asked coldly.
“Hey calm down, do have a girlfriend” she blurted out sharply.
“No and why do you ask,” he said a bit calmly.
“Well, I have never been in a relationship before, and I am looking for someone who can teach me about love. I am tired of how I do things by myself.” She said sadly.
“You know since you came here I have been perceiving a strange odor”. He said.
“Ohh that, I have not had my bath since morning”. She said, making sure to piss him off.
“What, get out of my sight” he yelled loudly.
Ashley was scared, but that wouldn't ruin her plan. “No, you should be the one to get out of my sight”. She said her voice wasn't cracking.
“Fine I will, Smelly hyena” he stood up and left.
“Yes. Ashley jumped.” She executed her plan well, she planned to get the expensive ice cream he had bought now he left it. She quickly took it and started licking it. When she was done, she went back to Mickey with her bowl of ice cream.
They shook hands and Mickey paid for the ice cream they bought and they left.
“So what will you be doing this weekend?” Mickey asked.
“Am yeah, I am going to be arranging the house this weekend and am going to remove anything that makes me remember my past.
“Dave must be waiting for me now,” Ashley said, referring to her boyfriend.
“Let's go, I am sure I forgot my phone at your place,” Ashley said.
“Alright, let go”.
Mickey's Apartment
They have arrived just now and Dave is truly waiting outside for Mickey.
“Where have you been?” he asked, his voice showing how worried he was.
“We went to an ice cream shop to get some ice cream.”
“Alright, hi Ashley, nice to meet you,” he said.
“Same here Dave”
Mickey opened the door, and Ashley went to pick up her phone. Only for her to see a debit alert of $100.
“How is this possible? It only means one thing: Mickey took my debit card.
She turned with anger written all over her face.
“Mickey is currently cuddling with Dave”
The next thing they heard was a scream from Ashley.
“Mickey”…… Ashley screamed, rushing towards her.………
Mickey took off, and a hot chase began.
