Not too long ago they finished cleaning the mess in the house; the four of them, Saron, Ashley, Jonathan and Evy, sat at a little café getting something to drink. When they took Jonathan there and he was immediately disappointed because they weren't going to a bar, but he later adjusted to it.
Because it was getting late and Saron and Ashley lived on the other side of the city, it had been agreed for them to stay with Evy for a while, so that's all that really filed their conversation.
"I really think we should have a party tomorrow." Saron said taking her tea and drinking it.
"We just had one; I think that should be enough." Ashley said taking a bite of her sandwich.
"No I mean like a girls night out or something, it would be nice, celebrating our independence from men and all."
"I'm not really sure about that, I've got a lot to do." Evy spoke up, she really didn't want to go, with those two, a night out always resulted in going home with some man, and right now she really didn't need that.
"Come on, Evy. You'll love it, please?" Saron asked pouting her lip.
"Alright, but only if I get to go home when I want." she said and got a smile from the other two. Evy then looked over to Jonathan, who sat next to her and hadn't said a word.
"Something wrong, old mum?" he asked. she shook her head 'no' and faked a smile.
At the moment there was a lot wrong with her, she felt utterly alone, like she was unwanted, as if she was incapable of being loved, but explaining that to everyone would lead to a bad conversation she really didn't want to touch.
"Well we better start heading home; I think it's getting a little late." Ashley said and started to get out of her seat, the rest of them followed.
As they exited the little café Evy thought she saw somebody sitting in the distance watching her. Taking a quick glance around she saw a blonde woman just sitting at a nearby table talking to a man across from her, the woman must have been starring at her. Evy didn't recognize either of the two, but she got a bad feeling about them.
As everyone walked onto the street and Evy allowed the cool night air enter her lungs, freshness entered her chest and she felt light as a feather. They walked together towards Jonathan's car, when Evy noticed somebody in the distance watching her again. She turned her head back to the café, not too far behind, and noticed the blonde woman starring at her. Then she started to look around where she was and found a man standing by a nearby tree in the park across the street.
She got, but a quick glimpse before the man hid behind the tree again, but she could have sworn on her life he looked just like Rick, but what would he be doing there?
Shaking the thought away and they entered the car to go home. Once arriving, Evy walked upstairs to her room and locked the door. Saron and Ashley each had one of the many guest rooms and Jonathan took his usual room, the one he'd had since he was a child.
EVy quickly walked over to the closet and changed into her nightgown, similar to the one that was ruined the night on the boat while on their way to Hamunaptra. She then walked over to the balcony and opened the door to look out at the view of the garden in the distance; she'd been planting some of the plants since she was a child with her mom.
She leaned against the stone railing that kept anyone from falling off and relaxed. Looking up at the stars, she began to picture her life a little older from then, with children and a loving husband, but soon her thoughts turned to Rick and her standing in the same place with their child fast asleep in the other room.
Shaking her thoughts clear of him again, she walked back into her room. She then walked to her bed and looked at the bouquet of flowers from the wedding that sat there mocking her yet again. Why had Rick let her leave? Was she so unimportant to him? What had more important then her?
She picked up the flowers and threw them outside the door, over the balcony and onto the floor two stories down. Bringing the covers back Evy crawled into bed and closed her eyes, trying to push the thought of Rick out and let sleep take over her.
Rick had been following Evy ever since he found out that the huge mansion was indeed the place she lived. After learning he had broken her heart he wanted to talk to her, but with her friend, Saron around, he knew he wouldn't stand a chance, so he followed her, only to find her friends were spending the night.
Rick knew her life was in danger and he needed to get her away from it. Lisa was already too close for his liking; she had been sitting in the same café as Evy talking to her older brother, Luke about who knows what. He also knew that Evy had seen him in the park, but that wasn't really important, what was more important was Lisa didn't see him. He'd never been to London before and trying to follow her and no loose sight was hard, especially staying away from Lisa.
He had finally followed them home and made his way around the house looking for any sign of which room would be Evy's. When he got to the side of the house he noticed a person on a balcony starring into the night sky. It was Evy. And she was in a nightgown, just day dreaming.
Silently Rick began to hope she was thinking of him, but knew after what had happened between them I wouldn't happen. She soon disappeared into her room, leaving the doors opened and threw something out. The object hit Rick lightly on the head, and then her lights went out. She was sleeping, leaving her doors open for fresh air.
Picking the object up Rick saw it was a bouquet of flowers, most likely from her friends wedding, she must have caught it. He pulled the flowers close to his heart, looked up and smiled as he thought for a few hours she would sleep without worrying about anything, but this was what Lisa was waiting for; and he wasn't about to let her take her chance.
Please review and let me know if I should continue, I'm not so sure and I need to know if I should or just leave it. Thanks for all the past reviews I love hearing what you guys think, you all keep me going,
