Default Title - Burning Spring

chapter 12 (if it's not you)

It's 06:30am on Saturday morning Raymond Kings was sweating profusely in his jogging pants he had covered some great Miles today around the estate and was jogging back home, reminiscing about the morning he has to do this with his wife talking and making the day's plans in the process..but now this kind of thing is not for Celeste perhaps till she gives birth to their child...at some point he felt someone was trying to get his attention but the horning honk of a moving vehicle running out of the estate in such high siren pitch made him thought otherwise and he continues to jog .... Thinking every man makes one good decision at one point in their lives... and if there was one for him it was the decision to spend forever with Celeste butcher... she's been everything and more, she perfectly complete every part of his life not everyone gets so lucky to find that person meant for them...they have spend all this years building something he wouldn't trade for the world... she's not just his wife she is his best friend in the whole wide world

"So...rr.y excuse me Mr...."

Raymond was suddenly brought out of his thoughts to face a tall caramel colour round eyes lady with perfect waist and long legs that suits her being,dressed in jogging pants that shows she is working out too she obviously should be in her mid 20's

"Raymond Kings"

He offered curtly

"Hi Mr Kings"

"Hello ...?"

"Miss Melissa. my name is Melissa Bruce a recording artist. I just packed into the estate one week ago. I have seen you around a few times sometimes coming out of your apartment and I figured you are my close neighbor,am the new occupant of the apartment behind yours"

"Oh how wonderful! Nice to meet you Miss Bruce and welcome to the estate, hope you like it in your new home?"

He asked with a polite smile giving out his hand for a shake

"Well it's a great atmosphere around here but I have been bored most of the time I suppose that's because I am new here and haven't made any friends and worse of all I won't be having any studio section running for the next one month...I am not the type that likes being crowded but trust me I don't like being left alone either doesn't that sound crazy."

"Not at all...you have the right to associate cause boredom is really not a good thing"

At this point Raymond doesn't have enough patient for this entire conversation anymore...he should be in his home now having a warm shower or relaxing since he's not working today not standing around with some strange lady

"Well I am sorry for stopping you like this but I need your help,I had misplaced my house keys while jogging and right now I need to get into the house I don't know if you have a hammer in your house that I can use to break in before calling for it to be fixed later."

"Damn! So sorry about the keys..I think I have a hammer at home let me go pick it up I will join you in your apartment in a jiffy..."

"Thank you so much Mr Kings"

"You're welcome see you around"
