Chapter one

“NO!”

“Impossible!”

“What?”

The three of them screamed at once.

“Perhaps I should read the will again.” Said Mr. Arnold with an understanding smile that covered his wrinkled face.

“Sorry Den, but I’m not listening to any of this bullshit again.” A young girl said as she pushed her chair back and walked to the door.

“Cairo wait,” Meg, a blond petite ran after her younger sister, “Cay!!” she shouted after her but Cairo was already out of the lawyer’s office, running to her car as if the devils were after her.

‘This is just pure madness, and I thought I liked the old man! He turned out to be a psycho.’ she thought dryly as she got into her small car and started it heading for her best friend. She had to talk to him.

“Luke is not going to believe any of this when I tell him!” she said out loud as she parked her car in the parking lot and walked furiously to the small diner.

“Hey Cay!” A guy called from behind her.

“Luke, thank God I found you.” She exclaimed as she watched Luke approach. She loved him so much, he had been her best friend since forever, ‘we’d been pals since kindergarten’ she thought, he was the friend she went to when her parents divorced when she was fifteen. And she was there for him when his mother died three years ago.

She accepted a friendly hug from him the moment he stopped in front of her.

“What is it Cay, you look furious.” Luke said, stepping back a little and gazing at her angry face.

“Oh, you know I went down town today to meet Den, Den Arnold…” She could see his eyes close a bit in concentration.

“Yeah…. I guess I remember you saying something about that guy but remind me again,” he knew he was in a bad situation her, especially now that she was so angry and he was, with his stupidity, adding it with forgetting someone she’d told him about before.

“God Luke, you never concentrate on what I’m saying,” She protested angrily and it made her eyes seem golden. They were green, pure emerald green, but when she was angry you could see changeable shades of gold and green together. Right now she was so pissed off and he didn’t know what happened earlier that made her so angry.

“I concentrate, you know that!” he defended himself, trying to remember anything about the man she was talking about but he had no luck. He could remember well that day she told him about that man but back then he was so busy watching her long ruby reddish hair and how the strands of it had covered her face more than once and he had fought for so long not to touch them with his fingers and smell her hair. ‘She always smelled fresh and nice.’ He thought.

“What is that look?” Cairo asked, her anger slowly fading.

Luke realized he was staring at her with a dreamy look on his face, shrugging his shoulders he gave her his what she called “The innocent Luke look”. And as soon as he did she smiled. Then when he didn’t change the way he looked at her she started laughing. That was one of the things he adored about Cairo, she maybe was the most stubborn girl alive and also had a very bad temper, a very, very bad temper but her anger always faded fast. And one word could make her laugh until she was crying with laughter.

That was exactly what was happening right now, she was laughing so hard but something about her laugh made him look seriously at her.

Cairo paused and stared at him, moments later she covered her face with her hands and screamed “God damn it!” so loud that everyone in the parking lot and the diner heard her.

“Okay, come on.” Luke mumbled.

“Oh I’m so pathetic!” she cried out as he ushered her back to her car.

“Yeah, you are… ouch!” he winced as she punched him on his right shoulder, “hey that hurts you know.”

“I know.” She said with a devilish look.

“Okay, thank you.” He answered as he closed the door after she was completely inside the car, sitting in the seat next to the driver.

He turned around and sat in his seat, “I’m driving.”

“Oh, whatever. Just get me home before I kill myself.” She rested her head on the back of the seat and closed her eyes.

Luke glanced at her and wondered ‘what could possibly have happen that would make Cay look so…. Quiet!’

“I can’t believe the old man did this!” she exclaimed suddenly.

Luke smiled to himself, ‘okay, she’s fine.’ He thought as she started cursing next to him.

*************

“Baby, don’t worry.” Celina said the moment Adam walked outside the lawyer’s office and into his car.

“I don’t think this is the right place or the right time to talk about this.” Adam answered coldly staring at her short black hair. He never did like her hair.

“Oh, you don’t have to be so bitchy about it Adam, I’m on your side. Remember I’m your fiancé!” She reminded him of their engagement for the second time today, and he was fighting so hard to keep himself cold.

“Celina please, this can wait.”

“Wait? How can you say that? You know we have to ge-”

“Damn it Celina! Do I have to handle your argument and the traffic all at once.” He shouted as he stopped quickly when a stupid driver decided to take a turn all of a sudden.

Adam cursed low as he drove his car so fast. He didn’t want to go home to Celina’s arguments, so he thought he’d just drop her off and go somewhere he could think.

Five minutes later he did just what he’d planned; he stopped in front of the building they lived in and waited for her to shout at him before leaving the car and slamming the door behind her. He wanted to forget that Celina even existed. He had a lot of things on his mind and wanted time to sit down and curse this creature called Cairo with all the names that existed.

“She’s impossible! She is an immature, childlike, hostile little callow.” Adam screamed as he drove his car heading nowhere, “Who does she think she is, leaving all of us like that and storms out of the room?!”
