Chapter Twenty-four

[Cole]

"Come-on, please, please, please, please, pleaseeeee." I pleaded, just as I've been doing for the past couple of minutes.

"My answer still remains the same when you asked the last five minutes ago, and the last ten minutes ago, and also the last fifteen minutes ago. No!"

"Would it change in the next twenty minutes?"

"What? No! Go away!! And stop with all the begging, you're giving me a headache," She rubbed her temple with a small scowl.

"Ohh, come on. Have a little fun while you're young. You wouldn't want to be all dried up like granny over there," I pointed my head in her direction, thankful she didn't hear me. She's a strong lady, that one.

Suddenly burst of laughter caught my attention and upon turning around, I spotted Tamara entering the diner with an giddy expression, all excited as she made her way to Lucy.
