The Proud Boss Lady. novel Chapter 16

“Is he the guy you were talking about?" Jess asked Freya who dragged her out of Zed's shop.

“Yes, he's the one." She sighed.

“That means he's in love with Soraya, that terrible woman?" She asked shocked.

“All correct Ma'am." Freya chuckled.

“That son of a bitch! How can he fall for such a vile woman?" She angrily burst out

“Relax Jess, take a chill pill. Maybe he would soon realise he's being used. Let's just wait." Freya smiled at her friend.

“Okay, if you say so." She hugged her.

“Wanna go somewhere else?" Freya asked.

“Of course, let's go." She answered as they at in Freya's car and she drove off.

“Heyya," Nichole said sitting on Jesse's laps as he played a video game.

“What's up?" Jesse asked focused on his game.

“I am bored, Nikki is gone to her boyfriend's house, Nicolette is gone out with her friends. I don't have nowhere to go or nothing to do." She pouted whining.

“And I am playing a game," Jesse rudely stated.

“Okay, have fun." She said getting off his laps as Jesse grabbed her arm.

“Come on I was just joking." He said to her.

“Please let go of my arm." She added.

“Nichole, I was just joking with you, I'm sorry." Jesse apologized.

“Jesse...let go of me." She pulled her arm from his and stormed off to her room locking the door behind her.

I didn't mean to upset her... Jesse thought as he said on the couch taking his game console and continuing with his game.

Nichole was an introvert. She felt no one cared for her busy they seemed busy for her all the time. She was there for them always, even when she was busy she wanted to find a way to make it up to them. She felt they were just using her.

She wasn't really close to her twin sister until they got to high school. Even at that, she felt her friends liked Nicolette more than her. She was actually cool with that until her crush Jesse fell for Nicolette. She was heartbroken but she didn't show it, she nursed her broken heart till high school was over and they parted ways.

She was happy when Nikki and Jesse came into her life again, but once again it seems they are too busy for her. Soraya was and is still a bitch, but that bitch had time for her. She was always there when she needed her.

“Nichole." Jesse knocked lightly on the door. She turned her face to the wall. She wasn't ready to see him nor talk to him. He knocked for a while but she didn't answer so he left assuming she had fallen asleep.

Alas! Piece and quiet. She thought to herself.

“Hey, Sis!" Nichole said walking into the kitchen.

“Hi, what's up with you? You've been asleep for five hours now." She questioned.

“I guess I was too tired then. Nikki ain't back?" She changed the topic.

“She's in her room as well." She shrugged.

“Okay, what's for dinner then?" She sipped her orange juice.

“ I was thinking we are out tonight. Go get ready," She nudged her as she hopped off the counter and walked to her room.

People love, people, leave, people let down

People show up, roll up, people grow up

People move out, people disappear

People don't change, people rearrange

People miss the game, people lose

People try, people, lie, can't look you in the eye
