Simon stood quietly starring at her
Waiting for an answer.
He loves when she's restless like this ,especially in front of him.and Damn!!!...those lips she continues bitting her killing him.
His jaw line tighten
Nancy, completely oblivion to what's happening continue to ponder .
Simon suddenly suck in a sharp breath causing her to look at him.
"Maybe the park?" She asked
It took a while for him to reply as his mind was no where near what she's talking about.
"Do you want the park?"he asked
"Yes" she answered softly
Why is he suddenly acting like this?
Maybe it because of mother?
Yeah!..that should be it.
"Tomorrow then?" His question startled her abit
"Um ...yes sure.. I'll inform mother immediately" she responded
Without any words being shared she quickly excused herself.
Outside the door she held her chest tight
Exhaling heavily
What just happened?
He actually agreed to do something with her??
Not just that but he...he made her to pick a place .
Her hands reChed her temple pressing against it
Is this normal?'
A voice in her head continue to tell her this is for his mother
But then did he have to ask her??
She left to the dinning table in light foot steps not wanting to make a sound

IN COUNTRY C
Ariel woke up early the next day in other to prepare for work.
She can't believe she didn't ask him about the time.And the address he gave her was really strange because she hasn't heard of the place before.
She calmly arrange her things
She didn't really pack much as she didn't see the need to.
She was dusting her shoe when Joe walked in.
Joe was a really tall African American man , muscular in nature.very handsome and cared about Ariel alot
Some miss understand their relationship at times for love as they were really close.
They have been together since collage, as getting a job was really hard so they settled to leave together as a way of reducing the rent.
Deep down he knew he liked her but didn't know how to tell as she has already made it clear that they can never be anything beyond friends.
He stood at the door frame quietly watching her .
"Are you gonna be coming over at weekends at least?"
He asked,his voice low.
She turned toward him with a smile
"I'll try ..I don't know yet .. but I promise you that I'll try"
Her words didn't really give him the reasurement he was hoping for.
Noticing his mood Ariel stood up and walk toward him.
She understands that it won't be easy seeing that they've spent almost four years of their live together but she doesn't know what else to do.
'Again 'curse her mouth for putting her in such a mess'
She slowly held his large hands placing her's between his.
"I don't want you to worry about me Joe...I promise.. I'll be alright"
He smiled at her words.
"I don't trust him Ariel...you know this white men and their sheets,his trying to mess with you "
"I won't let him...ok?..I'll be home before you know it ".she assured .
He knew there's nothing he can do to stop her so he smiled.atleast that much is something.
He just hope she'll be ok.

The taxi stopped right in front of a wide silver gate.
Around it were trimmed bushes , beautiful trees and flowers everywhere, but no sign of a house.
Ariel frown , took another look at the address on her phone.
"Are you sure this is the right place?" She asked the taxi driver
"Yes ma'am"he responded
"Did you use GPS or something?..I mean am suppose to be at a house not some..... forest " she said, frustration evidence in her tone.
The man took another look at the address
"Ma'am am pretty sure we're at the right address"
Ariel exhail sounding exhausted.
Did he really plan this? to bring her to some bush?
Damn it!!!
She exhale calmly and got out of the car.
The taxi driver followed to help her with her luggage.
What is she suppose to do now?
After the taxi left ,she stood there quiet,anger, hatred everything overloaded in her brain.
How could she be naive and stupid as to trust a single word he had said ?
If she as so much as see his stupid face again,..he would be wishing for hell.
Damn she's stupid!!
She continued to pase back and forth thinking of a possible way she would be getting home.
Joe's words came ringing in her ear.
'you can't trust this white people '
She pushed one of her luggage to the floor and sat down on it .
She thought of calling Joe but knew he was at work.
He was already worried when she left, she can't make it worse .
She say there for 30 minutes.
Coming to the realization that sitting wouldn't help her ,she decided to walk down the road,maybe someone passing by might see her and help her out.
She continued to work around the vast road hoping that someone would pass by,but not a single car was to be found.
She couldn't think anymore,tears already forming in the corner of her eyes.
"AHHHH!!"she yeld in frustration "DAMN YOU TO HELL NICKEL ALEXANDER...I F*CKING HATE YOU!!!!"
she was looking exhausted and drain as the sun was extremely hot.
turning back ,she began walking back to her luggage.
She bent to pick up the bag that was on the floor.
It was so dusty, she was dusting in frustration as she continue to hit the bag, she threw it away in anger breathing hard.
She brought out her phone But paused when she felt a something on her back.
Frown,she quickly turn only to come face to face with a huge man in black tox ,dark shade ,Bluetooth on and a gun pointed at her.
