Cherreads

Chapter 27 - 27

Dinner is served jericho sat beside stella while they dined.

Jeanne shared a dance with randall while jameson shared one with stella.

They had the time of their lives one would say.

They ate butter shrimp for starters.

Oxatil and mash for main course and cremé brulee for dessert.

Stella enjoyed herself and as they left she asked her father why they wouldn't visit regularly.

Its not a place i would want you to be

Okay daddy.

Lastnight was for princess's while mornings are for socialiets.

Zoey woke up to a good mood preparing herself for a meeting.

She had packed her suitcase the night before and texted xavier to bring stella that night.

He agreed and that's the last time they spoke.

Keisar sat in his office thinking of the time that is passing without a single happiness surrounding his heart.

He mostly harshly ordered his staff around and threw daily tantrums.

Employees in the office began to speculate about his anger but chose to ignore the whole matter.

He looked outside the window his chair facing that direction.

He looked at his watch for time then just kept starring out the window.

His secretary had began thinking his crazy and needs a therapist.

But she wouldn't dare tell him that.

She dropped in the papers he asked for and became bold enough to ask about him.

Boss are you okay

That's sir to you alia

Okay sir are you doing well in recent days

Fear consumed her not intense fear but fear of offending the great god.

Im doing just well enough alia thank you for your concern .

Good to know boss.

She left satisfied with his answer

Everyone in the office knew he only talked to alia and she was grateful.

Stella and family were having breakfast laughter in the air .

Xavier cleared his thoart and looked at stella.

She looked at him disturbed by his stare.

What

I have a surprise for you

What type

Im taking you on a trip

Yay trip

Stella sarcastically said

Why are you saying it like that

Like what

You know don't you want to go.

I do could use it

Randall got in the conversation.

Yes i think you should go sweety

Okay daddy

So when do we leave xavi

Late in the evening

Like evening today

Yes like today.

I haven't even packed

Then you should get to it , xavi sounded.

Stella rushed upstairs to pack and for once in a while she thought about keisar.

She wrote in her diary at the thought.

Her diary hadn't much only events that mattered to her.

Afternoon soon arrived and jaya invited stella shopping.

They were shopping for some essentials and new clothes.

Mom

Yes stella

Lets go to that perfume shop mine just finished and i need i new one.

They headed for the perfume store stuff and care.

They were greeted by a sales person .

Stella got her first text from Jericho it touched her heart.

He sent her a picture of him at an open mic under it he wrote i wish you were here.

She laughed at the choice of words but still responded to his message.

Have you found a new lover

Jaya asked curious.

No just somebody somewhere

It doesn't seem so

It really is so

Whatever mom

Smiling to herself.

They returned home after a long day of spending.

As usual Randall was busy with work as well as Xavier although he was engaging still on the trip.

She went to the kitchen and scooped ice cream for herself in a bowl a sweetpink heartshaped bowl.

Her mom hadn't returned with her as she had a friend to meet with.

Stella ate the ice cream slowly thinking of life and its possibilities.

She was also thinking of writing the project she had in mind to propose to randall for his approval.

She got her bags from upstairs and put them in the living room.

Have you got everything

Xavier asked impatient.

Yes i do

Okay then we leave in thirty

Whatever.

Zoey got a text from xavier that read leaving in thirty so you leave first.

She smiled at the news heading for her car.

She loaded her one suitcase and left blasting music.

Thrity minutes arrived and Xavier loaded their bags in the trunk.

They got in the car but before they left stella ran to the home office to say goodbye to her dad.

Daddy wont even come to see me off

Ohh sorry ellie work has been stressful

No problem i just wanted to say goodbye.

Bye see you soon.

Xavier honked the bell she yelled I'm coming.

She got in the car xavier starred at her.

Time isn't on our hands

We have plenty of tomorrow's.

No.

He drove off and Randall saw them through the office window leave.

He could only pour his heart into work and nothing more he always hoped he wasn't doing a mistake.

But he hadn't been sure because he got support from the people around him.

On the road stella asked.

How long will we be there

About two to three days

Why so long

Its not like you have something better to do at home

Whatever xavi.

So have you a lover

No

He slightly blushed

I don't believe you

I would've already told you.

Mhmmhm really .

The road seemed long and not close.

Only if she closed her eyes would she believe it was short.

Zoey arrived at seven o'clock pm and ckeaned up the place to give her a warm welcome.

Satisfied she texted xavier to check how far they are.

He responded with ten minutes from there.

Okay she sent him.

Ten minutes later stella and Xavier arrived.

He volunteered to unload he bags she thought it was very suspicious but liked getting the good treatment from him.

Here take the keys and open up.

Okay.

Zoey could hear them she quickly ran upstairs to hide herself.

Stella caught a slight glimpse of her.

Xavi i think i saw someone or something.

Are you starting to become crazy

Only if you make me i swear i just saw that someone or thing

You are just seeing things

Okay lets just get in and call it a night.

Xavier took her bags to the room she chose which room while already waiting for him.

I really like the beach house did you really choose it or did someone recommend it.

I really chose it come down down for dinner .

Okay .

She went to the bathroom and freshened up.

In the kitchen zoey was talking to xavier in whispers.

I cant believe you made it

Whatever

Anyways im also hungry so wont you make me food

No , stop it and go before she sees you.

Bye then.

Stella ascended the stairs.

Xavi were you just talking to someone

No you are just imagining things

But i heard you voice annoyed

I was just resaying a movie line.

Okay .

Stella agreed suspecting him.

They ate the Chinese takeout calling it a night.
