UNTIL WE MEET

Chapter Thirteen

"You don't know she exist, she doesn't know of your existence. There is unknown guest

you must meet, a lady. Without her, try to make it in different ways, failures will always be your crown. What you

have in you is dead and the same to her. It will be difficult but the first time you two will have hit, you two will be unleashed, " Ainsley unveiled.

"How far will it take me meet someone I don't know?" Stowe worried.

"Not far enough. You two are bound by mystery in the realm, " she told unknown.

"But to that one I already given my heart, what will I do with her later?" he does not want to loose her.

She smiled and turned at him.

"I feel weak from your look. Paranoid so quick?" he verified.

She kept calm.

"You only love but not being loved. You will know for yourself when you are in love. Let her go, " she advised.

The look on his face wear a change.

"How can this be? We made promise that should not be broken to each other. We

have been for years. I can't suddenly let go, " he was bittered.

"No man has ever choose his death wisely and for that reason, you have the chance to choose yours wisely. The number of items does not mean they are valuable. Can I ask you a question?" she waited a reply.

"I guess the answer rings in my head, " happiness was far gone from him.

"If you are attracted by the green leaves of a tree and go close to eat from it, and you stand with the tree and find no fruit on it, what will you do?" she watched closely.

He muted for a while and pondered.

"Hard?" she adjusted close to him.

"Mm... Not really. Simple but tough, " he confessed.

"Okay. Hear it this way. What will you do to me if we are in love, I love you for a reason and you love because you love me?" she waited an answer.

"Huh. That is beyond my understanding. A philosopher and psychologist are fit for the

answer, " he clearly told.

"So you two are. You are a mystery and she is a misery. How long do you think you two can last?" she held still.

"The longevity is not existence, " he boldly told.

"Until we fulfill the assignment to whom we are assigned, we are undone, " going back was not included in her option.

"Can't give up on her, " he insisted.

She stood.

"Till some other time I meet with you, " she walked.

"That's not possible! I know she loves me alone. Can't let her go. She is too costly to let go, " he wept.

"Why are you on the same mistake with him?" A voice came to him.

Samantha turned around the room. A bang on the door. Phobia seized her on the seat. A force put her out. She opened.

"You again? Scarlet, how much do I owe you that you won't just let me be?" she screamed.

"I wasn't expecting wrong answer from you. I just asked a question. I need an answer. That's why I am here, " she walked in.

Samantha jammed the door and leaned on it.

"No, my lady. I'm not comfortable with you on that spot. Come take the next seat to me, " Scarlet invited.

"What mistake? Is Goldsman a cheat?" Samantha was interested.

"Trash! You are delaying him, why?" Scarlet frowned.

"Your words are weird. I don't know who you are talking about. Why speaking on behalf of someone that is not existing? Speak plain, "Samantha authorized.

"What mystery have you discovered about yourself? A mystery you discover about

yourself is the introductory step of knowing yourself. You have not started knowing yourself. The more you be with him, the more you grow dark. Go see Jair.

He's got something for you, " Scarlet sent her.

"He has nothing good for me than the odour of his old age, " Samantha refused.

"Careful who you insult, lady. He knows you more than you know yourself and he

existed and sent before you. You are the reason he is refused to die. Don't delay further. Go to him. He is waiting, " Scarlet was not friendly this time.

"How will I do with Goldsman? How will I stay without him?" Samantha was not willing to separate.

Scarlet looked angrily at her.

"He has nothing for you! He has nothing to do with you but he has something for you. With him, you are fulfilled, " Scarlet left.

"I am in the midst of confusion. What can I do with my life now?" Samantha was in the belly of confusion.

She leaned backward for a while and decided to go see Jair. On her feet to match out, her cell phone gave distraction. She took a look. It was a weird contact.

"Samantha takes the call. Can I know you more than your voice?" she listened.

"I am Jude, Goldsman's buddy. I came in and met him lying unconscious. What did you do to him?" he told.

"Oh, my God! I did to him nothing. Where is he now?" her voice had no stability.

A drop of tears run down her cheek.

"Lying in his bed, " he told.

"Okay. I will be on my way, " she hung up.

She hurried out and saved herself in a cab.

Jude turned to Goldsman.

"What kind of child has it given birth to?" Goldsman looked on him.

"On her way, " Jude assured.

"Whoa! The hook is baited. I know she won't resist the bait, " Goldsman took the glass of drink.

They toasted and drank.

"Now listen. This is the plan. Once I hear a sound from the door, you will go cover yourself on the bed. Once she comes to you, I will be out. Professional enough?" Jude waited his word.

"Yes, but first, you need to clear the table, " Goldsman strategized.

"You take in the cups while I mop the table, " Jude shared the duty.

The duty was performed.

Jair attempted to take his life several times. Several times access denied. Secretly, drank noxious substance. Lord Lowry neutralized it. He appeared and sat opposite him. Jair slept awhile and opened his eyes.

"I'm alive. Why? Who did this evil to me?" Jair was bittered.

Lowry made himself visible.

"You want death? Not soon. This one assignment you must fulfill before you leave. If you leave without fulfilling this, you will come back for a tougher assignment than this without backup. Still want to die?" Lowry looked on him.

He muted and bowed his head.

"I can kill you myself but my hand will not bring your death. Fulfill this and you will die well. I know your flesh is religiously

weak but you are not weak. Put that madness far off you and act, " Lowry was quicky gone.

A knock on the door.

"She's here, " Jude whispered.

Goldsman hurried into the bedroom. He lied naked and covered himself with blanket.

Jude opened the door.

"Good day. Who are you?" Jude voiced.

"I am the delivery guy. I came with the pizza, " Maisler adjusted behind.

"Oh, s**t!" Jude was pissed.

"Anything the problem, sir?" Maisler's voice went through the window.

"Nothing but you. You are the real problem here!" Jude complained.

"But I hardly understand how, " Maisler was confused.

"Goldsman, not her but a delivery guy, " Jude sounded.

"s**t! That guy just screwed this up, " Goldsman regretfully wore a short and singlet.

Jude dragged him in and jammed the door.

"Stay at the corner you piece of s**t, " Jude instructed and called Goldsman.

"I heard you. Put him on hold, " Goldsman opened the door.

"Good day, sir. Goldsman ordered this. Is he available?" Maisler looked on the both.

"How much did I owe you?" Goldsman held his phone.

"Not too many dollars, " Maisler told.

Goldsman counted fifteen dollars into his palm and collected the pizza.

He counted and looked on him.

"What? Not complete?" Jude gave the pizza a seat.

"I never learn criminology since my birth. This is beyond my pay, " Maisler stretched his hand at him.

"Today is your lucky day. Merry Christmas, "

Goldsman took a seat.

"But we are far off Christmas, " Maisler joked.

"You are little sick. Will you move your ass at once?" Jude ordered.

Maisler jammed the door.

They looked on each other. Goldsman took the pizza into the fridge.

"That joke just blew up the excitement, " Goldsman mood became dull.

A heavy bang on the door.

Goldsman hurried to the bed and covered himself. Jude waited to open at the third. He sinked closer to the door on the third knock.

"Where is my baby? What did you do to him? Tell me at once, " Samantha panted.

"Calm down, miss. He is in the bedroom. Answer the bed's call, " Jude faked eventful mood on his face.

"That's enough! You said what?" she held him hard.

"I said you can find him in the bedroom, " Jude struggled out of her hands.

"Better, " she pushed him off the way.

"Goldsman, go easy on her, " Jude talked within and smiled.

He tip-toed to the door. He shut gently.

"Why this time?" tears spoke how deep her mood was affected.

She rolled the blanket to his waist. She felt his temperature and collected her phone from the bag.

"You need a doctor to come treat you here, " she concluded and attempted to dial a doctor's contact.

"If your kisses can be a gift to me, I'm heal, " he closed his eyes again.

She turned with a wondrous glance.

"I heard that. I doubted because conviction has not told me to believe, " she lowered her lips to kiss his forehead.

"Please, be well on time. I just heard the resounding of your voice and that makes me horny, " she rubbed his hair.

She made the call. The number was busy. He opened his eyes.

"Your kisses can heal me, " he kissed her.

"Is that what you need to get well?" she held his cheeks.

She attended to him. He turned her on the bed. He dragged up her gown.

"Are you strong enough to do this?" she pitied.

"That was hot, " she confessed.

The energy climbed. She wondered.

"This way on me, I'm not sure you are sick, "she discontinued.

"Your absence made me feel that way but now in you, I am very well, " he made another move.

She gave a weird look.

"Really?" she frowned.

"Uh-huh, " he responded.

"Get off me!" she pushed him off.

"Why? Does it hurt?" he held her.

"Why did you acted that way? I nearly got accidented. I know we need each other but not that way you acted. I love you, I need you but not putting me at risk, " she held his cheeks.

He kissed off the pain and looked into her eyes.

"I'm sorry. Just can't do without you, " he confessed.

"It's okay. Come in. I love you so much and will never take this for granted, " she promised.

He relaxed.

"I'm on. Come on, hit something, " she held him.

He began.

"I can't believe I fell into this trap, " she doubted.

"No resistance when it comes to you, "he couldn't hide.

She smiled.
