Chapter 6 Suspicious Activity

• Emmy walked back to the mansion as Zane followed her behind, she stopped and turned to face him coldly
• "Zane?" she asked
• "yeah?" he replied
• " are you following me?" she asked
• he sighed and replied
• "you're wounded, lemme help you" he said
• "no thanks, It'd heal" she replied trying to sound polite
• "so where are you going?" he asked
• "I think to my room...I need to change" she said
• Her mind was still on what he said earlier...She doesn't want to be so close to him. Not that she wants some time off with him but after Zane words earlier, she thinks he is already falling for her.
• 'but he is my best friend' she thought within herself
• "okay then, I'd be waiting for you down here" he replied as she nodded her head and walked away
• Emmy walked into her bedroom and closed the door behind her and sighed heavily. She walked to her standing mirror and looked at the injury on her shoulders
• "thanks to you Zane" she muttered.
• Emmy already changed to a blue sleeveless crop top and a pink sweater on her black leather trouser. She made sure her injury was covered then picked up some cash.
• She was out of her room heading downstairs and met Emilia
• "hey!..how's your shoulder?" Emilia asked
• "nothing to say, It'd heal yunno" Emmy smiled
• "c'mon you and I knows it's Kayla claws..I meant claws!...it'd heal but hurt and would take time to heal" Emilia said
• Emmy didn't say anything, she just stood watching her sister lecture her.
• " besides..where are you going to?" she asked
• " oh, I want to get my mind off something, I'm heading to a restaurant not too far from Here" Emmy replied
• " something on your mind?" Emilia asked
• "if I may ask...is it Zane?" she asked as Emmy sighs
• "oh!" Emilia mouthed
• "I don't get his behavior this days" Emmy said
• " yeah, I've been watching him, he acts all surprising lately" Emilia added
• " wait!..he is your best friend so why is he acting this way?" Emilia asked
• "is it possible for your best friend to fall for you?" Emmy asked
• "I think that's the case" Emilia nodded
• "no..no..no" Emmy shook her head vigorously
• " just forget Zane silly acts" Emilia said and sat on Emmy bed
• "so what's up with this new guy?" she smiled
• "What guy?" Emmy asked
• " the guy you bumped into" Emilia replied
• "oh!..I don't even know his name" Emmy laughed
• "really?" she asked wide eyed
• "you don't blame me do you??" Emmy asked
• "why won't I?" Emilia laughed
• "to be sincere..You should try meeting that guy again and know his name" Emilia said
• Emmy just nodded like a kid and smiled
• "yeah I'll try"
• Emmy ended her discussion with Emilia and walked out along with Emilia
• "you can take your time" Emilia winked as Emmy rolled her eyes
• She went downstairs trying her best to avoid Zane. Hopefully she didn't see him. She Emmy headed to the car parking lot and mounted on her bike. She put the key in the ignition and revived the engine driving out.
• Lucas already dressed up and walked to the car parking lot also to get his car and then drove out of the building.
• He had his Bluetooth earphones in his ears cos he was on a call with his personal assistant.
• "you've got nothing much on your schedule for today" she said
• "great!..I really need some rest" Lucas replied
• "but....just few patients for consultation"
• "oh....about how many?" he asked
• "not more than 50 patients"
• "What?" he exclaimed
• "don't worry sir, Dr Mattson is attending to some"
• "oh!...that's better" Lucas sighed
• "I need to get something to eat...talk later" he said and ended the call.
• Meanwhile......
• Emmy already drove to Kim and Jim restaurant, a very fancy restaurant in the city to eat.
• She parked her bike and walked in then took her seat
• "table 4 please!" she exclaimed
• "coming!!"
• Emmy brought out her phone and sighed
• "they say Google is your best friend...lemme see" she muttered lowly and went online and typed;
• "why do I feel my best friend is already developing feelings for me"
• the result was out...
• "is your best friend falling for you?...here are few signs that proves he is
• 1) He wants to be with you more than before
• 2) He begins to act like an overprotective boyfriend
• 3) He compliments your outfit especially the sexy ones; if he doesn't then he still sees you as a friend and would advise you to cover up
• She was about to read the fourth one as Lucas sat down before her but she didn't bother to check
• "table 5 please!" he exclaimed
• A waitress walked to Emmy and handed to her the menu..
• "I'd go for small chops" Emmy smiled
• "with red wine" she added
• "noted" the waitress replied
• Lucas didn't bother turning back but was sure he has heard that voice. He read the menu and said
• "macaroni cheese would do"
• Emmy continued reading and then frowned at number 4
• 4) He might try kissing you and when he does you should know
• "fuck!" she cussed angrily and banged her table as her hair fell over her face
• Lucas turned back to see but only saw her head low, he was about looking away but stopped...he saw clearly three bloody lines on her shoulders...looking fresh and recent.
• He turned away to think
• Emmy raised her head up and saw her food before her.
• She began to eat angrily...
• "kiss who?" she thought within herself
• "Google just spoilt my mood"
• She couldn't eat anymore...She brought out some cash from her pockets and dropped it on the table
• "just so annoying" she muttered lowly but Lucas could hear
• "Arrrgh!..I can't wait for this stupid thing to heal" she muttered lowly still Lucas heard it clearly
• "Kayla...your claws are really Sharp" she muttered lowly and adjusted the hand making sure it covered her shoulders and stood up to leave
• "claws???" Lucas thought within himself and looked up at Emmy but couldn't see the face
• Emmy paid the bills and went outside, leaning on her bike and pulled out a stick of cigarette...lighting it.
• Lucas immediately went after her
• "Sir your Bills?" a waitress shouted
• "I didn't eat anymore!" he exclaimed and ran out.
• Hopefully he met the lady leaning on her bike and sighed
• "don't you know smoking outside someone store is rude?"
• "please leave me alone" she said coldly
• "yeah yeah I will for sure, but wait...don't you sound familiar?" he asked
• her hair was all over her face making it hard for Lucas to recognize her but as soon as she ran her hands on her head he recognized the nails
• "wait..not a dime?" he thought within himself
• "do you smoke?" he asked
• "I don't honey, only when I'm confused and frustrated" she said
• "oh!...the wound on your shoulder...you better treat it to avoid bacteria from getting in" he said as she laughed
• "What are you ..a doctor?" she asked as she turned to face him
• "you???" she exclaimed
• "not a dime?" he exclaimed
• "it's really you" Lucas said shocked
• "you're stalking me right?" she asked
• "no you are!" he yelled back
