Chapter Fourteen
"Daddy it's not going to be a problem ok. Shelly will still plan my upcoming birthday this weekend," Cindy pouted as she stared at her father in his office.
"Fine then, I guess there's no need for me to call the catering services," he huffed and kept his phone on the desk.
With a swift kiss on her father's cheek, Cindy walked out. Roy massaged his temples as he stared at his daughter leaving. She was his pride but most times he became frustrated by how she just loved her life without caring to know anything about the company.
He had it in mind to hand it over to Chase Parker but the boy was busy with his passion and now Cindy didn't look ready to take over soon.
Massaging his temples, Roy reclined back in his office arm chair and twirled it around so he was able to see the sky from his window.
He smiled as he remembered his late wife and how much of an inspiration she had been to him. So far he was yet to see t
Chapter Fifteen"She's awake!" Those were the first two words Shelly heard the moment she regained consciousness. Prying her eyes open and shutting it immediately, cursing under her breath and shielding her eyes from the bright light coming from the window she groaned. Trying again, she pried her eyes open and saw curious faces staring at her.It was Kiara and Cindy?"Cindy?" She eyed her curiously."You're alive, Shelly!" Cindy exclaimed excitedly and engulfed her in a hug."Ow!" Shelly exclaimed. "C... can't b...b...reth.""I'm sorry," Cindy laughed before pulling away from her."What is happening here?" Shelly directed her question to Kiara."Uhm... You fainted and we brought you back home," Kiara explained."Fainted? Where is home?" Shelly questioned curiously looking very confused.Aggravated she stood up from the fluffy--- wait her bed wasn't fluffy it was a bunk bed but this one was a queen si
Chapter Sixteen"I promise you guys I'm damn serious these are the same cast that were in that movie."Kiara and Cindy just stared at her and then burst out laughing so hard they were already rolling on the bed.Shelly gave a frustrated growl. She had spent thirty freaking minutes convincing these dunces that the movie Nerdy Glasses was real and after surfing YouTube they didn't find the movie instead found the same people who starred in Nerdy Glasses starring in another movie titled KARMA and they had watched it yet it was nothing like the Nerdy Glasses she'd watched with her friends. Now they thought she was hallucinating or worse still___"Could have told us you wanted to direct a nerdy movie," Cindy chortled.___That, Shelly thought as she stared at her friends still laughing."I'm not directing any movie, Cindy." She snapped."Sure," Kiara drawled sarcastically."I thought tonight is girls night out?" S
Chapter SeventeenSwearing under her breath, Shelly stared at Cindy muttering gibberish nerdy words to Kiara and they were both playing a game on their phone."Ace the fucking game or you're a pussy, Kiara." Cindy's words were slurred and she's swearing which really showed just how drunk she was, Shelly mused as Chase winced."Honey, could you reduce the swearing?" Chase smiled at her while keeping his eyes on the road."Ok daddy. You're grumpy pants anyways." Cindy snickered giving a full pout.Shelly stifled her laughter. "Daddy?""You can laugh, Shelly. I guess I deserve that." He said."Uh huh," Shelly quirked a brow at him, "why?""Well... we're home now." Chase parked the car and got out before she had a chance to question him further. Surprised by his actions, Shelly led her friends out of the car and into the house. After making sure they were sleeping soundly, she went in search of Chase.She found him discuss
Chapter EighteenAny moment now she'd feel an impact with the cold hard floor and her life would be over before her eyes.But she never felt the impact.Why was she not falling?"Hold on tight," she heard Chase smooth voice and pried her eyes open. She saw he was holding her wrist tightly."Oh my gosh! You caught me!!" She exclaimed nervously."Just don't look down," Chase grunted as he tried pulling her."Oh sure, I could do that," she laughed, "it'd be like those crazy stunt in movies.""I assure you this is very real, Shelly." Sweat was running down his brows by now. He had no idea that she weighed so much. How possible was that considering she was thin."You know I was going to test my theory. I mean it's possible that I may not have died if I slipped down right now.""Indeed," Chase huffed pulling her upwards. She grabbed unto the railings and was in her balcony immediately."Yeah," She c
Chapter Nineteen"Honey this isn't necessary!" Roy Champman gave a startled cry.Shelly rolled her eyes smirking as her parents bickered like little children. The bone of contention between them right now was who would walk her mom down the aisle during Cindy's wedding. Her father said he had an important board meeting so he won't meet up in time to walk her down the aisle so she should just wait for him. But mom had other plans which included that she must walk down the aisle with or without her husband."Why you won't be able to meet up in time for the procession," mom gave him an innocent look.Roy gave her a blank stare. "That doesn't mean you should walk in with a random stranger.""But it's not a random stranger," mom pouted, "it's one of the guys that will be around when the procession starts.""What makes you think one of those random guys won't have someone walking in with them?" He eyed her curiously."Duh! No
Chapter TwentySmiling so widely, Shelly sat down on the chair that Ace pulled out for her. He sat down on his own seat and clapped his hands twice. A butler stepped out and served them red sparkling wine. He left immediately."Where did he come from?" She asked him referring to the butler that was already gone.Ace smirked mischievously. "Take a wild guess, honey."Shelly groaned. "Don't be like that. He couldn't possibly have come from the cliff.""You never can tell," he winked at her.Shelly ignored him pouring as she took a sip of the red sparkling wine in her glass. It had a velvet taste in her tongue and it was amazing."Mmmh," she moaned savoring the wine. "This is a lovely wine.""Yeah," Ace agreed smiling then added after awhile, "I'm sure you're wondering why I'm out with you."Shelly gulped nervously. "I guess so.""I like you, Shelly," he caressed her palm, "the moment I saw you in that
Chapter Twenty One "Spill your guts or I will destroy you!"Shelly and Kiara stared open mouthed at Cindy as she gave them a bank stare."Tune down the enthusiastic vibe, Shelly." Kiara glared at her.Cindy raised her hands in mock surrender, "I'm sorry just trying to vibe with you guys."Shelly laughed. "Try vibing without threatening me."Cindy smiled. "I'm sorry I'm just so excited for you."Kiara smirked, "yeah, this is the first guy she has taken an interest in.""Oh shut up!" Shelly rolled her eyes giggling."Oh my gee!" Kiara exclaimed dramatically, "Shelly Champman freaking giggled and is blushing. Who is responsible for this sudden change?!"Shelly laughed as she stared at her friends. It's not been up to twenty four hours since she got back from her date with Ace and her friends were determined to kill her with questionings."Quit being a drama queen. You're seeking for way too much attention." Shelly lightly slapped Kiara's arm."I would support you right now Shelly but Kia
"I give up!" Shelly exclaimed slumping on the carpet grass outside the balcony. She was breathing very fast and gasping for air. She'd been running so hard, away from her friends for the past couple of minutes? She had lost track of time already.Kiara and Cindy ran towards her then slumped down on the grass beside her breathing heavily. That didn't deterr them from playfully smacking her arm."Ow!" Shelly exclaimed pouting at Kiara, "what was that for?""That's for almost giving me a heart attack," Kiara smirked."But I saved your ass from Cindy's boring lectur___" that earned her another smack, "___ow! Interesting class"Cindy smirked at her sticking at her tongue childishly."I hate you guys!" Shelly pouted."We love you too!" They replied laughing.They laid down there on the grass foe awhile not saying anything but staying in a peaceful silence and thinking about lots of things on their mind.Cindy thought about how she fell
