ROMANCE: The Surprise That Rocked Me

by Linda Wright

  CHAPTER 3

  After spending some minutes in traffic, John finally got home. He had been seriously thinking of Madison when he was driving home. He never thought of meeting Madison on the ferry, but he saw her, he was really surprised but what made him happy to some extent was the fact that she gave him an audience and she showed him some love even though she turned down his request. John felt he had really done something wrong to Madison but at the same time he had no option then when he left the town. After brainstorming on the whole issue, he drove into the garage to get the car parked. He moved out of the car and he went to the entrance of the garage to close the gate. It was already late in the night and he was very tired. He moved into the house from the back door with the thought of getting a quick shower and a good sleep. He moved into his room without saying a word to anyone at home. His parents and brothers were at home, but they were in the living room waiting for him to come before they have their dinner. He deliberately switched off his cell phone because he was not in the real mood to talk to no one. When he got to his room, he dropped the car key on the shelf and went straight to the bathroom. He pulled off his cloth and stepped into the Jacuzzi to get a shower. After taking a shower, he felt relaxed and all the thoughts he had on his mind had reduced. He changed into his pyjamas preparing to go to bed but as he was about to lie on the bed, he heard a knock on his door. He refused to open the door and pretended like he didn’t hear anything at all. To his greatest surprise, the person at the door said, “John! I hope all is well with you. I saw you when you drove and since then we have been waiting for you on the dining table”. It was his Dad’s voice, Joseph Olsen. John had no choice than to open the door for his Dad, he really loves his Dad and he respects him so much. He never knew someone was watching him when he came in. When he opened the door, his Dad saw the way his look was. John looked worried and that show on his face. His Dad asked him what was wrong, but he refused to tell him what was going wrong. Joseph persuaded him to join them on the dining table in order to have dinner so that he would be able to think and talk about something else. He promised his Dad he will join them soon on the dining table. Joseph left his room with the expectation of seeing him in few minutes. Few minutes later, John decided to join his parents and brothers on the dining table. Joseph didn’t tell anyone he was with John inside. When he entered the dining room, everyone else except Joseph was amazed to see him; they never knew he was inside. John greeted his Mum, Margaret Olsen and he gave her a peck on her cheek. He also greeted his two brothers before having his seat. His food had already been served. Lawrence, his elder brother had been watching him since he entered the dining room. John still looked worried and that can be read on his face. Joseph said the Lord’s Prayer before they started eating. John was not eating as he used to eat. Margaret, his Mum was the one that first noticed that as he was not eating as he used to. She then asked him what went wrong. Margaret’s thought was that John didn’t have an appetite, which was why he wasn’t eating as he used to be. John’s response was that nothing was wrong with him. Lawrence then replied him and said, “I have been watching you came in, but I just decided to keep quiet. I know Dad can see that too” “It’s nothing really serious. I saw Madison on the ferry today and I gave her a ride home. I think I am in love with her again after all, we didn’t break up before I left the town. I actually asked her to go out with me tonight, but she turned me down, and I know it was all because of what I did” John explained what was bothering him. “To be sincere with you all, I really want us to continue from where we started but I really owe her a lot of explanation if I want that to happen” He continued. Lawrence chuckled and replied him, “John, this is not the ideal time for this. You just have to focus on the campaign and forget about Madison for now. You really have to put your mind together and let bygone be bygone” Joseph also added to what Lawrence had said and told him, “Renewing your relationship with Madison will raise too many questions and that will bring about something else. Personally, I feel you should do what your brother had said, focus on the campaign for now and let bygone be bygone” “Focusing on the campaign will do us better than continuing your relationship with Madison. I know you really love her but in order not to cause yourself any trouble, you just have to let things be for now and focus on the campaign” Mathew added. “Baby, I know how it feels to be in love and on the other hand, you shouldn’t use that as an opportunity to bring problems to your life. Madison’s parent will really want to know why you left the town when Emily died and I don’t think you have any genuine reason to say to them” Margaret advised. “Hmm! Thank you all for your piece of advice and I will try and make the best out of it. I know the things this will cause because Madison herself had already asked why I left the town then” John replied them all and thanked them for the piece of advice. Deep down in John, he knew they were very right but he just wants to make things right with Madison. It was just like love at first site when he saw her on the ferry. John really finds it difficult to forget about Madison, and with the look of things, he just can’t let that go. The whole family finished their meal and every one of them went straight to their bedroom to sleep. John was about to shut his door when he saw his Dad, Joseph approaching his room. He was very surprised to see his Dad again in his room. He let him entered before shutting the door. Joseph sat on the chair while John sat next to him. He said to him, “Son, I really understand you and this can happen to anyone in love. Madison is a good girl and I like her too, but you have to let her be for now simply because of her family and what they will say to you when they see you two together. The election is fast approaching and you just have to focus on the campaign so that things will go on smoothly. Think about it and let me know your final decision by tomorrow” Joseph stood up and left John’s room. John looked disturbed with the way things are. He was quite shocked with what his Dad just said. He gently shut the door as his Dad left his room and told him “Good Night” as he was leaving. He then lay on his bed and fell asleep as he was thinking of what to do.

  CHAPTER 4

  The next morning, Madison woke up early. It’s been a long she had gone for jogging, she then decided to jog on that very morning in order to cool off her mind and get back to her normal body shape. She stood up from her bed and moved to the bathroom in order to brush up her teeth and get ready for the morning jog. After brushing up her teeth, she pulled off her pyjamas and put on her jogging kit. She grabbed her earpiece and her phone and started playing her favourite songs. It was around 6 am in the morning. She started jogging around the neighbourhood along a popular path listening to her favourite songs. She had gone far from home and had promised herself to be back in one and a half’s time. As she was jogging along the popular path, she ran into Georgina, a lady in the neighbourhood who was also jogging along the popular path. Georgina used to live in the Cape before Madison got to the Cape. She was more or less like an enemy to Madison. Georgina used to be a friend, but she was one of those friends that always mock people around. Whenever she sees Madison, she always makes her feel like an outsider who doesn’t belong to the Cape. Georgina never fails to remind her that she was able to live on the Cape due to the fact that her mother married Colin Doherty, who was a wealthy man on the Cape. She will continue by saying that Madison won’t be able to have access to the social circles she is now if not for that. Madison tried her possible best by brushing Georgina off, but she got taunts when Georgina made mention of John. Georgina tried to provoke her by saying, “John and I have become best of friends since he had come back on the Cape. He is a very good person and fun to be with, moreover, he is good in bed too”. Georgina had always wanted John from the start, even before Madison came on the Cape but unfortunately for her, John did not like her at all. She lied about what she just told Madison, but Madison won’t know she was just lying. Madison got stung when she heard this but refused to let Georgina know about it. She didn’t let that show on her face. She wondered why John will stoop so low to go out with Georgina w
hen he knows how Georgina hates her. She felt bad about it but at the same time, she was glad as she turned down the date with him. She realized that this is the perfect time for the two of them to move on. They both went on the different ways along the popular path. Georgina continued with her jogging and so do Madison. Georgina’s look seems not to be happy because she didn’t notice Madison was angry or jealous about what she said which was actually a lie. Madison never thought of it again, she just continued with her jogging and she put back her earpiece into her ears. After completing her jogging for that morning, she went back home to prepare for the day’s work. She didn’t really have anything else to do on that day simply because she came to rest for the main time at home. Her Mum has been looking for her, but she later realized she must have gone out to jog because she had been doing that before even before she left for school. She used to keep herself fit and also to maintain her body shape. Madison is actually a pretty lady who has a slim and sexy body. She is tall but not too tall, has a red lip and the figure weight curve is very obvious when seeing afar. She was the prettiest on the Cape and this is actually one of the reasons why Georgina used to mock her. When she got home, he met her Mum in the kitchen making breakfast; she decided to join her in the kitchen. She opened the fridge and brought out a bottle of milk so that she can cool off the stress. She greeted her Mum and her Mum responded with a question,” What took you so long?” “I saw Georgina in the way and she got me talking. I really don’t know her problem; she started talking about John and all that” Madison answered. “Really! You mean the same, Georgina. Don’t mind her, she talks a lot” Antonia replied. “She said she had become a very close friend with John and she even talked about how good John is in bed” Madison replied. Antonia chuckled and said, “She must be joking about that, she really wants you to hate him, but I think that should not bother you. John is a good man and I am sure he can’t do that, but you just have to keep your distance from him because I don’t want you two together again” “You mean John can’t do that?” Madison asked “Yes, I know he is not the type but because, with the look of things, you should just try and keep your distance from him” Antonia replied. “I know he is a good man, but I don’t really know what to do next” Madison replied. I will try and keep my distance from him. Thank you for your advice Mum” Madison gave her Mum a hug and they continued preparing their breakfast.

  CHAPTER 5

  Georgina was on her way home thinking of the conversation she had with Madison. She was not really happy for not getting any response from her despite the fact that she talked to her in a bad manner. She even went to the extent of telling lies against John. Georgina then decided to meet the killer on her way home. She stopped jogging and decided to take a walk to the killer’s house. On her there, she thoughts of what to say to the killer, as she was going, her first thought was to tell the killer to kill Madison too, but that will be too soon and that people might quickly know the cause of her death because she and Madison just had a discussion. Madison must have conveyed the message to someone else at home, so it will be too soon to have Madison eliminated. Georgina was actually doing all this because of the love she had for John. She doesn’t really know the approach to take, but all she wants is to eliminate Madison on the Cape. When she got to the killer’s house, she didn’t even knock on the door before she entered. As she entered, she saw the killer sitting on a couch in the living room. She quickly approached the killer and sat beside the killer. The killer was surprised to see Georgina, the killer then asked what she was doing and she told the killer she have come for two things. One, she wants to give the killer some information about Madison and John, and two, she feels horny, she needs sex. The killer was surprised to hear that from Georgina. The felt reluctant to give her the second thing she requested for, but she shut the killer’s mouth up by putting her finger on the killer’s lips. Georgina taunts the killer by saying, John and Madison are now back on the Cape and that it will take some time for them to start talking together again and they will forget all that happened the night Emily disappeared. She explained further by saying, John will not have the chance to look at her side again since Madison is back on the Cape. The killer responded by saying all will be in control and that necessary action will be taken very soon on the two of them. Georgina then informed the killer that in order to stay silent on the whole matter, she needs to get more money. The killer didn’t hesitate to assure her that she will get more money soon. The killer explained further by telling her that he/she has been preparing to give her more money soon. Georgina was glad to hear this from the killer; she smiled a little and told the killer not to break his promise. She promised the killer she will remain silent forever if he/she continues giving her the money she requests for. After their discussion about John and Madison and about the money Georgina asked for, Georgina started pulling off her dress. She sat on the killer’s lap and they started kissing even though the killer was not really ready to do that but he/she just wants to please Georgina for the last time before knowing what to do on her case. After kissing and caressing each other, they started having sex. The killer and Georgina happens to be bisexual, they have sex with both man and woman. Georgina started groaning as they were having sex and she was asking for more from the killer. Georgina does not really have a stable sex partner; she sleeps around with anybody she gets a chance to be with whenever she is in the mood. After two-three rounds of sex, the killer got tired and they stopped. Georgina quickly dresses up again and she left the killer’s house. The killer was not really happy with what he just did; he did that to satisfy Georgina before executing the plans he/she has for her. The killer had planned to execute Georgina soon because he/she does not want to be exposed and with Georgina’s presence on the Cape, he/she will be exposed. In fact, the killer thought about Georgina asking for more money in order to keep her mouth shut but he/she does not think he will be able to give her the money she requests for all the time. The killer thought about this and entered into the bathroom to take a shower. Georgina, on the other hand, had reached home; she went straight to the bathroom to have his shower. As she was pulling off her dress, she was thinking about how the killer handled her when they were having sex. After undressing, she entered into the Jacuzzi to have her bath. After some minutes, Georgina came out of the Jacuzzi and she went to her room to dress up. She went to the kitchen to get some food to eat before going out for.

  CHAPTER 6

  Madison and her Mum, Antonia had already finished cooking in the kitchen. Antonia had gone out to get some things in the supermarket. Madison told her she will like to go, but Antonia insisted and she said she also have some places to go. Madison was the only one at home after Antonia had left for the supermarket. She decided to take her bath in order to wash off her sweat and to freshen up. She decided to watch one of her favourite TV programs after her meal. After taking her bath, she took her breakfast to the living room in order to watch the TV program and at that same time having her breakfast. Madison was sitting on the couch in the living room with his two legs on the table. She put the food she was eating on her laps and was ready to go. She really enjoying the program and that really caught her attention. She paid full attention to the program and at the same time she was eating her food with ease. As Madison was watching a TV program and eating her breakfast, Bobby came into the house. As Bobby entered the house, he saw Madison watching a TV program. He was not really happy with Madison; he then decided to get her annoyed by changing the TV channel. Bobby suddenly grabbed the remote beside Madison and changed the TV channel. At first, Madison was not really annoyed with that. She didn’t know it was Bobby; all she was thinking was someone else who wanted to get her attention. But to her utmost surprise, she saw Bobby approaching the staircase. She doesn’t really understand what just happened; she called him and asked him why did he change the TV channel when she was still there watching. Bobby didn’t give a reply; he continued to climb the staircase. Suddenly, Madison started shouting on him say
ing why is he behaving in a foolish manner. Bobby got furious and came down to meet her. All he wanted to do was to slap her but Madison was a smart one, she moved back waiting for what he wants to do next. They started shouting on themselves and saying some abusive words to themselves. Like Georgina, Bobby tried to make Madison feel like an outsider on the Cape. What really made Bobby be hostile was that Madison has never seen him more than being Colin’s son even though Bobby was attracted to her. This is the main reason why Bobby usually gets mad whenever he sees Madison. It all started when Madison and John started dating each other, he was attracted to Madison, but he did not tell her about that. He thought Madison will know that herself. However, Bobby got thrilled when he knew John had left the town. His thought was that since John had left town, Madison will move closer to her but to his greatest surprise, Madison’s attitude doesn’t really change to him. This really got Bobby to be angry; he thought things will work well for him as he thought even though he never let her know how he felt towards her. All Madison knew about him was that Bobby was weird and she always tries to avoid him as much as possible. Madison never wanted any issue with him; she knew the kind of person he was, so she always tries to avoid him and his problems. As they continue with the argument, they both heard a knock on the door. At first, they didn’t pay more attention to the knock on the door. But as the person on the door kept on knocking, Madison decided to check on the person at the door. Madison kept on talking while she was approaching the door. To her surprise, she met John at the door. She stopped talking immediately she knew John was at the door. John was surprised to see Madison in such mood. He wondered what could have happened and who she was talking to in such manner. Madison said to him, “Hi, Good morning” “Am doing good and you?” John replied. “Am okay” Madison replied. “I don’t really think you are okay with this mood I just saw you. Moreover, you are arguing with?” John asked Madison didn’t give a response to this. She quickly opened the door wide. She said to him, “Come on in”. John entered the house with a curious look on his face. As he raised up his head, he saw Bobby looking at the door with a curious look also, wondering whom Madison was talking to. When he saw John, he was shocked. He never knew John has come back to town. With a surprised look, he quickly rushed up and went straight to his room. Bobby was a very shy person and he can’t really express himself much. John was amazed at what just happened. He tried to greet Bobby, but Bobby did not wait to reply him before he ran upstairs. Before John could have an idea of what was happening, Madison asked him to have his seat and John gently have his seat on the couch. Madison quickly acted like nothing was wrong. She grabbed her food and continued eating while listening to what John had come for. John said to her, “I felt bored and since last night you’ve been on my mind. I just think we can go out on a date in order to have a discussion and grab a couple of drinks together” “Wow, nice plan. Let me quickly get changed so that we can get going”. Madison replied. Madison quickly dropped his food and took the remnant to the kitchen. She just wanted to go out in order to get away from Bobby. She knew Bobby will come back if she doesn’t go out John. On the other hand, John was glad to hear such an amazing response from Madison. Few minutes after Madison had gone inside to change; she came out putting on a gorgeous dress. She really looked gorgeous and different to John. When she came downstairs, John couldn’t hold it, he quickly stood up and approached her. He said, “Wow! You look amazing, I mean better than ever. It’s been long I’ve seen you in this look” John commented on her look. “Thanks for the compliment and let’s get going before wasting much time here” Madison replied with a smile on her face. John quickly opened the door for her and they both came out of the house. Bobby was about coming downstairs when he saw John and Madison leaving the house. He felt bad again, seeing John and Madison together once more. John and Madison stepped out of the house approaching John’s car. John opened the door for her and she entered. John went to the driver’s seat and he ignited the car engine. They drove away from the compound and they left for a date. Bobby saw them as they were going and was not really happy with what he just saw. He started blaming himself for not being nice and patience enough to Madison.
