JUST ONE MORE WISH - CHAPTER 18
(Eight wish/ attack💔)
Wesley 😒😒
I had began to relax my muscles and drift off to sleep when I heard a commotion break out outside. I wanted to ignore but I remembered trouble never seem far off from Gianna so I stood up quickly and wore my shirt heading out.
I saw the attendee that went in with Gianna was being scolded. That could only mean one thing, she ran away again.
“You can’t find her right?” I asked the girl.
She nodded her reply.
” It’s okay, it’s not your fault. Go back to work”
The girl smiled at me gratefully while I unlocked my phone and activated the gps tracker. I got her location in no time.
“The beach” I said to the driver and leaned back in the car.
This girl needs to know she can’t go anywhere without me, what if she has an heart attack again??
I rubbed my temple as I felt the onset of headache. Is this what love is all about?? Getting worried about the one you love?
Why didn’t I suspect anything especially with her strange attitude.
I stood far off and watched her and her Matt talking.
I decided to give them some privacy so I watched from afar.
I saw the way she looked at Matt worriedly and Matt trying to cheer her up with a smile.
Then he kissed her!! I mean he kissed her cheeks but he kissed her nonetheless. I won’t accept that. I strode over quickly, he even as the guts to put his mouth directly over her ear.
“Hey Dude” he glanced up and laughed softly.
I ignored him and turned to Gianna. “Why do you like running away from me to him??” I asked
“I-I….”
“Don’t worry, don’t answer again but didn’t I tell you not to go anywhere without me?”
“I’m here to protect her, ain’t her?”
“Just shut up…. I wasn’t talking to you”
“Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed.” Matt taunted
“Let’s go” I said to her and walked out without waiting for her reply.
“It’s too early to retire to bed. Go have fun” Matt shouted after me, the wind carrying his voice.
“Hey Wesley, wait up” Gianna shouted.
I ignored her too and entered the car to wait for her.
“How do you always find me?” She asked once she caught her breath.
“Tracker”
“Ohh, let’s do my eight wish together” she said.
A smile broke out on my face, she cherishes me now, she has never asked for anything politely. “Wait” the smile died down instantly ‘What if it’s another act.”
“I’m serious Wesley, the wish is that I’m going to say yes to everything.”
“Ohkay, I’m in”
Gianna 😳😵
Wow, it does feels nice to be tracked by someone.
I studied from the corner of my eye, his eyes was smiling and his face is relaxed now.
“Where are we going?” I asked
“I dunno anywhere…..we can disrupt some thing” he looked at me mischievously and wore back the mask he had earlier removed.
“Okay let’s stop at a restaurant, I’m going to head to a table where anyone is having a meeting.”
“Huh?”
“Yeah”
“We are there ma’am” the driver turned and winked at me “this is the best”
I smiled in response and got out. I entered the restaurant feeling slightly out of place. Everything smelt of wealth but I didn’t let it deter me. I walked closer to the table a group of men and a woman was sitting, having a heated conversation. They’re definitely talking about business.
I pulled out the last empty chair and sat. They stopped talking and looked at me. “Who are you?”
“Who does it look like I am? Let’s proceed with the meeting”
They continued the meeting but wouldn’t stop giving me suspicious glances.
Seeing the spot they left empty must have been for a very important person, I felt important too when the asked of my suggestion.
I said yes to almost everything they suggested, I was dancing happily in my mind then the door opened to reveal a man. He looked at the table I was and I immediately knew this was the man they were waiting for. I took excuse to visit the toilet and escaped through the back door.
“Hey miss, would you pls help my grandchild up to our house. It’s just round the block” an elderly woman asked
“Yes sure” I carried the tired looking girl on my shoulder and followed the woman home.
I was bored out of my wits, I thought saying yes to everything would be fun.
When I dropped the girl home, I stood by the roadside and called Wesley. While waiting for him, I loosed the eight knot, at least I said yes to something. I wanted to make the day better but it only got ruined.
“Will you have segz with me?” Someone said behind me.
“What!!!Nooo!!!!” I screamed with a horrified look and whirled around to face the person.
“You’re to say yes, what’s with the no?”
Wesley slung his arm over my shoulder and led me to where the car was parked.
“Nice to know I’ll be having segz this night”
“No, never” I replied firmly
“Your face is saying otherwise” he chuckled, the flush creeping up my face betrayed me.
I wanted to say something but our car rammed into something, throwing us off balance. Before we could register what happened, some people began to $h00t at our car.
The gunshots once more making me numb…
