“How was it? What did they ask you?” Samantha asked bulging her eyes as she followed Newton to the kitchen. He opened the refrigerator, took a chilled bottle of water, opened the cork and began to drink from it.
Samantha blinked her eyes nervously as she watched him gulped down the water. His segzy, visible Adam’s apple kept moving up and down, his throat as he drank. Samantha swallowed hard and touched her throat.
He stopped drinking and closed the bottle. He opened the refrigerator and kept it in again. He inhaled deeply and looked at Samantha.
“It was nothing serious. But it’s quite late? Shouldn’t you go home?” He asked
“Uhh.. Sure, I will. Very soon. I was just a bit anxious and worried about you. Hope you have cleared wh@ťěver?”
“Yeah. It’s concerning Myles’s case connecting to your father’s hit-and-run”
“Oh. Yeah, Thank God everything went smoothly”
“By the way, I saw your sister?”
“What? My sister? Oh.. At the station right?”
“Yeah.. I–
“Wait! Did she say anything?” Samantha interrupted
“Huh? Like what?”
“Anything at all. That sounded weird, foolish or something like that?”
“No. In fact, she is d@mn smart. I like her!” He chuckled
“She’s annoying though”
“Wh@ťěver. You’re more annoying than her” He laughed leaving.
“What?!” Samantha yelled
“Are you sure she’s your blood sister?”
“What? Why?”
“I’m just wondering where you picked your brain up from?” He replied and left while laughing.
“Heyyyyyyy!–She screamed
“Darn it, That’s annoying jerk!”
“But anyways, Why’s he so handsome?” She thought as she blushed biting her lips shyly. She opened her eyes widely very shocked realising what she was thinking.
“You’d better snap out of it, Samantha! She whispered to her self shaking her head vigorously.

“Newton just came by right?” Myles asked as she looked at Carly.
“Yeah. He did. How did you know?” Carly asked
“He asked for a visit but I declined. I was too embarrassed, I didn’t have the courage to face him”
“Oh. I understand. But who’s he to you?”
“He’s my Ex”
“Whoa. I’ve never heard of that? You can’t blame me though. I am not connected with these computer age of a thing. I don’t know these things since I’m not online like most of you are”
“Oh. It’s on my profile if you search online. But he’s my Ex-boyfriend now so..
“You mean you can check things online, anything at all?
“Well. Ofcouse, As long its makes sense”
“Wait a minute! Then, Can I check this online?” Carly asked showing her the logo(Dove and Fig Leaf) she drew.
“Yeah. Just put it in details …Search engines really have everything”
“Yes! I’ve gotten an idea!” Carly smiled.
“Hey sister.. Get ready” She thought as she formed a grin on her face. She stood up about to leave when Myles stopped her.
“Hey? Where are you off too? You haven’t heard my confession yet? I remembered telling you I’m finally gonna tell you everything!”
“Sorry, Unnie… Let’s skip it for today. I’ve got something to do first… at home…
