Ava led her way out of the university hall to the parking lot where she picked up her car driving to town straight to the store she first found ben.

Arrived and knocked for a welcome inside finding Ben was seated clearing out a piece of wood.

"Get to see you this early miss Sinclair. Your my morning charm today I guess." Joked Ben getting close to her.

Am I? Good morning Ben?" Greeted Ava.

"Good morning miss Sinclair. Shall we?" Replied Ben tagging into his jacket.

"Will wait for you in the car as you pick up Edgar." Said Ava.

"Sure. Will be there in a few minutes."

They both passed separately. Ava walking to her car and Ben straight to the store stationed right next to Bed and beds. In a few minutes, both Edgar and Ben arrived the car hoping on at the back having Ava set off.

They arrived the cottage and Ava got out to open the door for them. walked inside silently as they had arrived and started preparing for there work.

Ava though passed them to her bed where she sat opening the package she had received. On top it read. "From newyork. Father."

Cutting the tape that held it together, she opened it up and on the inside was a black envelope, a note and three small green boxes.

She opened the black envelope that had an approximate amount of a hundred thousand shillings and on reading the note it said.

Ava Sinclair.

Hello child. How are you? I believe you denied this as you went and expected me not to care about sending it. You need to understand me child. I can't let my reputation stagger by any chance. I may seem harsh but this is all for your own good and future.

Love you.

father.

Folding the paper to the foul of it, she opened one of the boxes smirking. Inside was a locket pendant that had a picture of her as a kid, her mother, father and inside the box was a note that read. You're our little cupcake..

The other locket was only her mom and father. As she gazed at all of them, she couldn't help sobbing when Ben suddenly came inside the bedroom without knocking.

"Please. Don't do that again." Said she.

"You okay miss Sinclair?"

"Yeah. I'm good. What do you need?"

"Nothing. I just heard you sniffing so I thought."

"Oh I'm alright. It's nothing really." Replied Ava as Ben headed back to the living room.

In a couple of hours, ben and Edgar had finalised with there work preparing to head on. Ava paid them both enough as they had done heading back inside.

Took a seat at the couch with a bottle of beer that took her unconsciously to sleep.

It was around five thirty when she snapped out of bed with a thought of Kara waiting at school.

Rushed into her jacket grabbing the keys from the table out to the car.

Hurriedly drove to manning finding Kara conversating with another girl at the entrance.

She parked off heading out straight to her setting her eyes on the girl who Kara introduced as Martha. Black long hair with bright round big eyes, a celestial nose and very pretty pink thin lips dressed in a short black round skirt with green half shoulder top.

Ava placed her hand out greeting.

"Hello Martha. Kara told me alot about you." Said Ava.

"Yeah? She's told me about you too. Such a lovely person. " replied Martha as they both stared at each other for a while having Kara snap them out of the endless hand shake.

"Shall we ?" Said she.

"Yes. Sure. Let's head on. Nice to meet you Martha." Responded Ava.

"My honour. " said Martha. "See you tomorrow Kara."

"See you tomorrow. "

To the car, Ava got in as her eyes still had the attention of Martha which was mutual then drove off.

"She is really pretty." Snapped Ava.

"Who? Martha?"

"Yeah. I think your description didn't do her justice."

"You like her?" Asked Kara.

"Yeah. I think I do."

With Ava's response backed Kara's silence through out the road to the house. They both got inside and she got straight to the fridge picking up a bottle of beer.

"Wow. A beer?" Snapped Ava in surprise.

"Yeah. I need it right now."

"Wanna talk about it?"

"About what?"

"Whatever is making you drink. Can we talk about that?"

"No. It's nothing. I just wanted to have a beer."

"Alright. Can we go have dinner somewhere. I'm really not into making dinner."

"Sure. I know a place."

"Shall we then."

"Okay. Let me change first."

"Really? You're good. Seriously. "

"Okay. Let me get my jacket."

"Sure."

It was about twenty minutes when Kara came out of the bedroom all changed into a short white dress and flat snickers.

"Really? Is that the jacket?"

"I had a stain on. So I thought I could change. "

"Okay. Let's head on then.

Into the car, they got driving off as Kara directed straight to a building that placed away from a few others.

Annie's cafeteria it read and on the inside was slightly slow music playing. Majority of women and a few men. They arrived straight in taking a table that was set at the end across the counter where a gentleman arrived them.

He greeted and they both responded.

"Welcome to Annie's miss manning and miss Sinclair?" Said he.

"Thank you. " replied both of them.

"What's the special on the menu today." Asked Ava.

"Annie's special. Goat steak. always on the house."

"Yeah. We shall have two plates of steak, with Annie's baked sweet potato fries and caesar salad." Ordered Kara.

"And a bottle of wine please." Added Ava as the waiter headed back inside. "Will you tell me what's bothering you Kara?"

"Nothing. really. I'm okay."replied she.

"Well. when you need to say something. I will be here all time long."

"Yeah. if I do, i will tell you right away.
