Stop That Hacker! UNEDITED VERSION (2020)

Chapter 27

I rubbed my forehead. That would make things a lot easier but to trust him...

I gave it a thought. He was Francy's brother after all maybe...he does a really good job as well...

"Do you want a raise?" I asked him.

He titled his head thinking. "Yes...but I'm willing to work for the same price until I give you results. If you think I do a good job with this, then as a sign of trust you can give me the raise. What do you say?"

I smiled. "That's a fair agreement." I put out my hand. "Done."

"So when do we get started?" Ace asked.

"Now."

Francy's p.o.v

One more swoosh. I wiggled my toes trying to relax as I brushed the last stroke on my nails. Perfect.

I sunk in my mattress and lifted my legs up staring at the nails. I waved them around hoping they would dry faster. I put out my hand and tapped on the bed until I found my phone.

A playlist of love songs started playing, making me stretch happily and grab a soft pillow. I grinned at the ceiling. Was it possible to be happy? Why did something like a simple date make me so happy?

I had many things that could make me happier...but ugh.. my heart was just bursting out with gushy mushy feelings and as much my brain wanted to overthink this..

does he like me?

I mean...this could end tomorrow

Nope..I must be dreaming

he doesn't really like me

and other things that flowed in my head on a daily basis but my heart was not having it.

It just felt too good to be depressed. It felt too nice to want to ruin it with reality. Why couldn't I take off the rose-colored glasses, I don't know but life was pink and I WAS LOVING IT.

There was some noise coming from outside my room, but I ignored it. There seemed to be a guest in the house, but I just assumed it's either mom and dad' friends or my brothers.

I hugged my pillow.

I was out of my mind completely.. I tossed and turn like crazy, but still watched out not to get nail polish on my bed,

"Hold me close and hold me fast

The magic spell you cast

This is la vie en rose..."

I sang to myself tilting my head left and right. I looked outside the window.

Outside it was pouring rain and there were lightning strikes in the sky. "Ah, what a beautiful day."

"When you kiss me, Heaven sighs

And though I close my eyes

I see la vie en rose"

Then suddenly..

"Il me dit des mots d'amour

Des mots de tous les jours

Et ça me fait quelque chose"

French? That must be....

"Granny!"

I jumped off the bed to hug her. "You're here! You didn't tell us you were coming. When did you get here?"

She patted my head. "Wait a bit with those questions ma poupée. I haven't gotten my medicine yet."
