Sheri was again flabbergasted.
"Wait a minute.. "
"Sis you make us all happy, haha Sven already lost the bet." Sheva happily said and starts to call Sven
Lois also started to call their parents.
"Dad put the speaker on so that mom can hear also," Lois said.
Her dad put it on.
"Sheri has a boyfriend and guess who?"
"Who?" both of her parents asked.
"It's Mr. Devon, he is here now."
Sheri, on the other hand, doesn't know who she will stop. She tried the whole time to stop them but it seems she's talking to a wall or talking to a hundred people. Hanny was worst she talked like there is no exclamation or punctuation mark. In which Sheri doesn't know whom she's talking to. All four girls were so happy. Her parents, on the other hand, was silent and her brother was also silent. Ric is the only one who is shouting on the other line. In which Jany is shouting back at him.
Sheri immediately pinches her head. Doing a mantra.
The rest keep on chatting and talking.
Sheri walked toward where Devon who is standing and smiling like an idiot.
"Can you please stop them and explain toward them," Sheri said when she saw that everyone is talking with their phone and walking toward their own room.
Sheri looked at Devon who is just smiling.
"You find it amusing, aren't you. You better fix this tomorrow and I only allow you to stay here for the night since it's already late. I expect you will explain to them and to my family everything. That's if you still want me to be on your good side." Sheri said.
Devon was silent the whole time. Sheri shows him to an extra room. She provided everything. Devon was looking at every move and everything Sheri does. Sheri on the other hand, can't stop her eyes twitching. Every time she looked at Devon he is like a love-struck fool.
"Can you please don't do that," Sheri said when she cannot take it anymore.
"Do what." Devon amusedly asked.
"That" Sheri showed his face.
"What" Devon still sarcastically asked. He loved to see how Sheri's reaction is. Sheri pushed the folded bed sheet to him and leave him in his room.
Sheri walked out. She knows what she did is childish, but she couldn't take the look in his eyes.
On the other side of the island. Someone is throwing his drinks.
He stops the screen in his laptop and traces the face of Sheri with his hand.
"You are mine and mine alone." Like a madman, he laughs.
The next day Sheri went with her sister to ski. At the top of the hill, all the 5 ladies started to slid going down from the top.
On the way down Sheri heard a commotion above.
Sheri looked up and saw an avalanche. Sheri looked at the side and starts calculating what are their chances to survive.
She shouted to her sisters to slide to the left side where the trees are. Her sisters also heard the rumble above. They were panicking but Sheri immediately pushed them and show them to the side where some big trees are.
Sheri saw that the avalanche is almost at their back no matter how fast they ski still it's almost on their back. Sheri saw 3 of her sisters is already safe between trees and stones, leaving Lois struggling to go to where the trees are.
"Hold onto me, Lois." She slides toward her.
