CHAPTER TWO-ONE LAST JOURNEY
After the gang sang happy birthday and gave their gifts to the birthday girls; it was time to get ready to leave. Elissia did her part in the surprise by attending and said 'happy birthday' but she didn't feel celebrating, leaving the living room and walked to the kitchen so she could make a egg and lettuce sandwich before going to her room and laid down for a nap.
April approached elissia, stopping her before she disappeared upstairs. "Hey Elissia; stay and celebrate with us." April asked
Looking in the living and gazed Don stood nearby, playing charades and laughing. "Nah, thankyou April...I don't really feel like celebrating." Elissia replied, walking up the stairs
Stood at the staircase ramp, leaning on the ramp end as she watched the ebony haired terrapin walked up and disappeared in her room. Casey walked up behind April and draped his arms around her waist as he gently nuzzled into her hair and smooching her neck. "Hmm...Hey sexy." Casey erotically commented
"Hey Casey." April answered lowly
Casey was trying to erotically tease April but she didn't seem interested. "Not here, ok." April whispery requested
"What's wrong?" Casey asked, feeling alittle rejected
"I think Elissia is little distant and something is bothering her." April replied, concerned
"Oh...um...ok." Casey stammered unsure
Neesa noticed that Casey and April discussing about something as she overheard them mention elissia. "Did you say something is bothering with elissia?" Neesa said
Both Casey and April glanced Neesa with surprised glares. "Oh sorry...did I interrupt something?" Neesa said, realising when she sudden received the glances from the couple.
"Not really...I was just concerned for elissia." April reassured
Neesa raised a concerned brow and wondered what is with the nosey business. "Hmm...I think we should respect her wishes and let her be. Kind thought and good intention, maybe leave her alone for now. Elissia will tell us when she is ready and she will confide for support." Neesa said, gently suggesting and went to the kitchen.
Both Casey and April looked at neesa with suspicious glances and wondered why she'd would say such things. Pulling away from Casey's arm embrace and went after Neesa. "Neesa...you know what is bothering Elissia. Don't you?" April curiously wondered
Opening the fridge and took out the water jug, taking a glass from the cupboard and poured the water, then began drinking as April waited for an answer. "Well?" April asked once more
Placing the glass down in the sink and faced April. "No, I don't April. If I did...I wouldn't be betraying her trust and I couldn't imagine what is bothering her or how she must be feeling right now. Like I said earlier, she will tell us when she is ready not before. All we can do is to show her support." Neesa replied, walking outside to the swing chair on the front porch.
While everyone else continued to party and celebrate, April followed neesa outside and wondered what could be bothering her instead. Showing her friend support and concerns, sitting beside Neesa on the swing chair.
"You really have become attached to this family?" April asked curiously
Neesa softly sighed. "Yeah...yeah I have. But I'm more attached to Masuki, she is a beautiful kid." Neesa stated
"She sure is...for a turtle." April replied, stating her antimony
Gazing the grassy horizon and twinkling her fingers around each digit. "I need to ask you for a favour." Neesa said, hoping her request will be accepted
Gazing neesa with a wary glare. "Sure...as long it don't get me arrested." April joked
Neesa gazed April with surprised glance and tried not to laugh but instead softly giggled. "What is so funny?" April asked
"Just what you said about getting arrested." Neesa answered
"Anyway what do you want ask me?" April replied, waiting for more information
Neesa sighed. "Could you come with into town please?" neesa requested
"Sure I can do that." April answered
"Thanks April, give me five minutes and we'll go." Neesa replied, requesting April to wait as she went back upstairs to retrieve what was importantly needed before leaving. April waited in the dining room until she returned.
Neesa searched through her drawers for the list also took out a box, carrying the mirror she personally designed for her sister as a gift for her. Leaving it on the dresser then walked out the door to the dining room.
"Ready to go?" neesa asked
"Yep, let's go." April answered, standing from the chair then tucking it under the table.
"Where are you going, hon?" Casey asked
"Just going to town for something that neesa needs to get. I'll be back soon ok...love you." April answered, kissing his cheek
"Alright, see ya when ya get back." Casey replied
April went out the door and saw neesa waiting in a black Porsche. "Wow...Neesa. Is this yours?" April asked as she gawked the vehicle in awe
"Of course it is. Get in beautiful be we loose the light, while the day is still young." Neesa stated
April obediently got in the passenger seat and strapped herself up as neesa sped off to go in town. When April finally settled after Neesa sped so fast that the seat belt, almost choke her throat.
"Neesa...slow down please." April pleaded
Looking to her right and saw the frighten gaze on April's face. Slowing the speed down for the appropriate speed limit. "Sorry April; I didn't mean to speed like that but I really want to get what I need and get back before 5pm for my flight." Neesa replied, apologised and explained her plan.
April noticed the sad expression and grasped her hand, assured her. "Where are you going to this time? And how long will you be gone?" April wondered
"I have to go Mexico, visit my father. There is something I have to do." Neesa replied
"Like what?" April asked concerningly
"Nothing you should worry yourself over." neesa answered
April glared neesa confused. "Why should I not worry?" April wondered
"LOOK JUST DROP IT ALREADY!" neesa barked, continued driving before realising that she had frightened April.
"O-ok." April frighteningly answered
Neesa turned to her right and glanced April. Silence paused between them. She closed her eyes and sighed, gathering her cool then apologised. "I'm sorry April. There is no excuse for my behaviour but I'm alittle stressed and I had no right to take it out on you." Neesa apologised
"I'm sorry too." April replied also apologised.
"C'mon let's get what we need and could you also come with me to the airport also drive my car back please." neesa requested
"Yeah sure." April replied
"Thanks April. I really appreciate it." Neesa told her, gratefully
April smiled warmly.
