Amelia
The ride home was silent as no one spoke with each other. "And we are back on time just as I promised you Rolland" my Mom said breaking the silence and he smiled, "I can see that ma, I have something to take care of so it is necessary for me to go back" he replied. "Do well to visit us again, soon And take care of our little girl" my mom told him patting his cheek, "mom" I whined "I'm not a little girl, I'm all grown up" I complained and boss chuckled. Daisy was quiet as ever and Steven stared at her worriedly. The Daisy I know would not be quiet if something is not bothering her,
"Daisy, are you okay?" I asked as I touched her cheeks, "I'm fine, just thinking of Adam" she said sadly. If there's one thing I know about Daisy is that she may seem strong and courageous outside but inside, she's soft and has a heart of gold.
"Don't worry too much about him, he will be fine okay?" I said reassuringly, "you don't understand Mel, did you see his pale face? His head?, His dull eyes?. He's sick Mel. Even if he had done terrible things to us, I don't think he deserves to die" she said tears about to fall from her eyes and I pulled her in a hug immediately.
"Shussh babe, no one said anything about dying. Adam is strong, I'm sure he will survive what he's passing through, we just have to pray for him" I said as I tried to control my tears, "I wish I had told him that. I. That I forgive him" she mumbled tears rolling down her cheeks, "he will understand. I'm sure of it. Stop crying okay?" I said to her.
"Now stop being a crybaby Daisy, you are making me emotional" my mom said behind pulling the both of us in a hug. She calmed down afterwards and smiled, then her eyes met with Steven and she sniffed before glaring at him, "you did not see me cry" she said sternly earning a chuckle from boss and Steven himself.
"Look at the time, I think you should get going Rolland, I don't like night travels, I feel it's not safe and please, drive carefully" my dad said before making his way into the house.
Boss pulled my hands to get my attention and I turned to look at me, "I'm going back today, aren't you going to tell me goodbye at least?" He asked and I smiled, "I planned to tell you that when you're about driving off. Thank you for staying with us" I replied and he smiled at me, "it was my pleasure. You remember that we are having a new member in the office tomorrow?" He asked and I nodded abruptly, "I do, he was referred by your uncle. I will try to come back tomorrow evening so as to be at work earlier on Monday" I said. "Please don't bother, you can stay as long as you want. Mrs Williams and I will take very good care of the company I promise" he said and I giggled, "such a good boy" I cooed pulling him down to my level before scattering his hair and he laughed.
"I'm sorry about Adam" he said and I smiled sadly, "it's okay. I believe he will be fine" I replied and he squeezed my hands which he took, "take care okay?" He said before entering his car, Steven following afterwards, soon they drove out of the neighborhood and into the streets.
I entered the house to meet Daisy munching on the bowl of fruits before her. I walked up to her and picked some fruits into my mouth, "is he gone?" She asked referring to Rolland and I nodded. We ate the fruits silently till it remained a piece of banana in the plate. We looked at ourselves before fighting with our spoons for the person who would have the last piece of the fruit. It fell to the floor and I dropped my fork defeated. Daisy went ahead to pick it from the floor, she rubbed it on her clothes before throwing it into her mouth.
"Eww, you are disgusting" I complained as I scrunched my face disgustedly and she shrugged nonchalantly, "at least I got the last piece. You know you owe me now" she said and I gasped. "That's not fair, the piece of banana practically fell on the floor. I thought the competition should end because it fell on the floor" I complained again.
"Well, sorry to burst your bubble baby, you thought wrong and you owe me that's final" she said moving into the kitchen. I followed her behind as she washed the plate, "what are you going to do to me?, Punish me or takeaway one of my valuable?" I asked and she smirked, "nah, those are childish. I have something else in mind, something extra ordinary" she said moving out of the kitchen.

"Dude what's up with you and that Daisy girl?" I asked Steven as we drove back to the city. Steve had left the car he came over with for Daisy to come home with. The last I could remember, Steven detested sharing or giving out his cars to strangers as his cars were like property to him, but here he is, leaving one of his cars behind for a stranger to ride.
"I don't know man, the girl gives me vibes I guess" he replied, "or you have been bitten by the love bug?" I asked and he hit me playfully, "look who's talking. For your information, I saw the way you looked at Amelia and decided to play blind eyes to it. That reminds me, how did the two of you end up here?" He asked and I smiled.
"You remember the girl I always told you about, I mean the girl from the rooftop?" I asked and he nodded, "of course I do, you've never stopped talking about her" he replied, "well it turns out that Amelia is the girl from the rooftop" I said and he gasped, "no way. This is such a great coincidence, way to go boss" he said happily and I chuckled, I went ahead to tell him how I found out, "wow, just wow" he muttered as we drove into my house.
"How did you get Daisy to follow you down here?" I asked and he shrugged, "we had a deal" he said hiding a smile and I cleared my throat, "I believe you, come on man, let's look into the information Kelvin brought" I said dragging him to my room.
