"Hey Jane we are here, let's go." Gloria said to Jane, Jane stood up and followed after her
in about five minutes they arrived at Gloria's house, Gloria brought out her own spare key and opened the door.
"Come in Jane," she said, Jane stepped into the house and it was such a nice house not bad for a single girl and two boys.
"We just moved in here two years ago, we had to vacate our house. My crazy father used it as a collateral in the bank, he used the money to gamble and drink, can you imagine?
"She said with a hint of pain and sadness evident in her voice. ' It must have been really tough for her. ' Jane thought.
"I can imagine," she said.
"We were asked to leave on a short notice, I had to ask and beg Dante for help. He did help but, it wasn't for free." she blurted out.
"That son of a gun will never stop." Jane said angrily. Jane can't understand why people get like that.
"It's okay, it's all in the past now. What will you like to eat? I doubt if my brothers prepared anything but, I'm sure there's some bread and milk in the fridge. What about omelette? What do you say?" Gloria asked.
"Anything is fine," Jane replied, Gloria walked into the kitchen to fix the food. She is so hungry and tired. She can't wait to just eat and crash.
Few minutes later, Gloria emerged from the kitchen with plates in her hands. She carefully placed them on the table so as not to break anything. She passed the bread to Jane.
"Here help yourself," Gloria said.
"Thanks," Jane replied. As they were about to finish with the food, Felix walked into the sitting room.
"Hey sis" he called out.
"You came in late today, we thought you weren't coming home. Sorry we didn't prepare anything for you." Felix added.
"It's okay, so sorry I didn't call. I got caught up in something." Gloria said, Jane looked at them and suddenly felt emotional. They must really love each other just like she and Cassie, and she suddenly miss her again.
' Oh my dear friend where are you? ' Jane thought to herself.
"And who is the pretty girl?" Felix asked his sister, and his voice jolted Jane back to reality.
"Oh she's my friend, and we work together at the club. Her name is Jane, Jane meet my immediate younger brother Felix, Felix meet Jane." Gloria said introducing them to each other.
"Thomas must be asleep in his room, hopefully tomorrow you will meet him before you leave." Gloria said and Jane nodded.
"Alright, it's time to sleep. Come on Jane let's go, good night Felix." Gloria said.
"Good night sis, good night Jane, nice meeting you." he stretched his hand toward her, and she took it.
"Same here, goodnight." she replied and walk towards Gloria.
"Welcome to my room," gloria said.
"Here sit, I will find you something to change into. You must be really tired." Gloria said.
"Yes thanks," Jane said as Gloria walked to her wardrobe, and brought out one of her pyjamas, she threw it at Jane.
"Here you can wear this," Gloria said.
"Thank you," she said, went into the bathroom and changed into it.
She came out of the bathroom and found out gloria already changed too, and already laid on the bed. She was about to doze off.
"Are you sure Dante won't know what happened?" Jane asked her.
"Who cares? Even if he finds out, he can't do anything you know. The jerk tried to rape you, if he's bold enough let him report you. And we will tell our side of the story it's called self defense, now don't worry about it and just sleep we will talk about it tomorrow okay?" Gloria said to her.
Gloria said obviously irritated she jus wants to sleep.
"Alright then, goodnight Gloria sleep well." Jane said.
"Goodnight Jane," Gloria replied.
Jane woke up feeling pains all over her body, she had sustained some bruises yesterday from the struggle with that freak.
She really needed to rest, there was no way she was going to work today. Or better still get another job, she thought to herself. She slowly opened her eyes, and studied her environment.
This doesn't look like her room, she thought. And there was no Mrs Whitney, and Christopher in sight.
Then she remembered she didn't go home yesterday, she slept over at Gloria's house. She got up from the bed, and found no one beside her. ' Gloria must be up ' she thought.
She climbed down from the bed, picked up her phone. It was already past 9am.
"I really overslept," Jane said and quickly dashed to the bathroom to take a bath. She was done in less than five minutes, she came back into the room and her eyes traveled to a gown on the bed. She hadn't notice that before, gloria must have placed it there ' how thoughtful of her ' she thought to herself.
She quickly dressed up, and headed to the sitting room. She found no one when she got there.
"Where did everybody go? How can there leave a stranger alone in their house?" Jane said. She was about to pick her phone, and call Gloria when she heard footsteps.
The person was coming towards her, she turned around it was Felix.
"Good morning Felix," she said greeted.
"Good morning Jane, how was your night?" Felix replied.
"It was fine thanks, have you seen Gloria?" Jane asked.
"Jane has gone to work, she run in between jobs. You know that right?" he asked.
"Oh of course I totally forgot, I should get going then I will call her later." Jane said.
"Aren't you going to wait and eat breakfast? I'm preparing Mac and cheese." Felix interjected, he can't fathom why but, ever since he saw her last night. He couldn't stop thinking about her, he really has a likening towards her.
