I moaned softly, as we both made love at the playground, our bodies, and soul merlin as one.
(An hour later)
David curved my body to him, as we both laid on the ground, he shoots a warm smile, gets up, and raised me well.
"It's getting late, shall we?" ( Smiles as he checks the time)
"Yes please" I uttered and zip on my clothes likewise he did the same, as we walked back to the car,  only to infer I a pair of my earrings I left.
He weaves the door open and beers to see I rushed out in a haste, "Tori, what's going on?" He yelled out to my hearing.
"Am sorry David but I am searching for my earrings" answered back and kept on searching.
David anxiously awaits and when he found the time was being passed,  he rushed to me and said, "forget about the earring, I promise I'll get you a new one and please, I believe your dad must be looking for you!!! Let's go".
I had no choice but to do as he requested of me and returned home without seeing the other pair of my earrings.
Mom waited in the living room and the second my feet ambled in with David beside her, she runs to me, "baby, are you okay, where have you been?". Her eyes fall on David.
Abruptly before I could get my words out, David airs out, "am sorry Mrs. Williams, and please, It's not Tori's fault, I wanted to have a stroll with her".
( Smiles and swiftly made his way through)
Mom kept a skeptical glare and watched as I look on, string back to his room.
I returned my eyes and met the same look, "mom!!! Are you okay?". I said and she smiles her words out to me, "I am fine but tell me, why all this?".
"Why all what mom? I don't understand?". ( My words to her)
"What don't you understand? I mean, I feel a weird aura around you and before you say anything please, speak to your heart's fire and know where your heart lies".
( Unfrozen and left me contemplating to myself, I wonder what hearts fire she means).
(Inaudible conversation, as everything, drifts away)
A month later...
"Good morning everyone".
I strolled downstairs to meet everyone seated at the dining room table, David shoots a smile and pulls out a seat beside him, with my family, seated among us.
Since Alvin got what he deserved, and Mr fabian disappeared into thin air, everything has been better, my life had finally fallen into track.
While seated in the living room, a voice asserted from behind, " can someone please hug me?".
We immediately turned and met Mr. Jason, David's dad at the entrance of the living room, and falls our eyes on Mrs. Elena who smiles her way in as well.
David ran out and hugged them both, thus, I walked in the second their attention fell on me.
"Good morning Tori!! How are you?". Mr. Jason says spooning a warm smile, but got carried away by Mrs. Elena's voice, "oh my goodness!! Come give me a hug". She says and tightly hugged me to a point that she almost choked me to death.
They all got to their room and after a few headcounts, I walked into Mrs. Elena's room.
"May I come in, ma'am?". I said as she falls back her attention.
"Yes please, Tori"
My feet ambled further to her, indeed I couldn't believe that upon turning a blind eye to Alvin's foolish mistake, good as always prevailed over evil.
(I smiled as we both shared the same look)
"so tell me, ma'am, how are you!".
I knew that was a foolish question to ask but I need nothing else to think of and yes, I feel relieved knowing fully well that, Alvin's plans weren't successful.
Mr. Elena seats me down beside her and said, "I am fine but the question is, how are you, and is there anything want to tell me?". ( Waits for my comeback)
I disproved her idea, that's when David walks in to meet me seated there with his mom.
He squeezed his eyes and curiously looked at his mom, "what's going on?" David falls back and ambled further to us.
"Nothing son, I am only having a lovely chat with Tori here, is that now a crime?". ( She adds up her words to him)
They both conversed in riddles and I had no idea what they both spoke about, David returns his eyes to me, "please excuse me, Tori, I'll come to find you".
David's odd behavior towards my presence in the room gave way for curiosity, I wondered what's going on with his mom.
The second my feet left, he says to Mrs. Elena, "seriously mom, what were you telling Tori?".
Mrs. Elena frowned and went on to tell her exact words to him, in return, David puffed out a deep breath and finally relaxed his nerves.
"Oh thank God?" He falls his weight on the bed and Mrs. Elena pulls him up from it.
"What?" Frowns at her behavior.
She adds up and replied, "don't give me that look, and yes, haven't you told Tori that truth?"
"What truth?" ( David asked)
"The truth of how you feel about her or aren't you in love with her?" ( She waits to hear his reply, that how Mr. Jason strolls out of the restroom and draws their attention.
He says, " can you stop forcing him to tell Tori how he feels and I trust my son will do the right thing when the time comes".
(Eyes locked to David)
Meanwhile, I went to the kitchen to get a glass of water, I pulled up the glass and while trying to get a hold of the jug inside the fridge, someone passed behind, which got me scared.
"Who's there?" I said but falls back the moment I stepped on a letter on the floor, which read, "you can never forget the hand that fed you and gets ready for the showdown, Tori".
My eyes loomed around trying to search who might have dropped the letter, I ran outside yet couldn't see anyone, the question is, who might have sent this message to me. Perhaps has Alvin escaped from jail".
"Tori, are you okay?"
David called out from behind and falls my attention on him, he beers down and saw the same letter in my hand.
"What is that?" David inquired as I passed it over for him to read.
He read through and second his eyes falls through the last word, our eyes met.
"Who sent this?" He asked
" I don't know and please can you check if Alvin's still at the prison, for all we know that he might have escaped from jail". ( I  muttered to David who ran quietly at my words).
"Fine, I'll call the inspector".
David pulled out his phone and dialed the inspector's number, they both spoke on the phone and I anxiously waited for his response.
After a few seconds, David puts the call off and said, "Tori!! I don't know how to say this but, Alvin, escaped from the cell and the police have been searching for him for over a month now".
