Chapter 12

Mason entered the coffee shop which is a very big one with extensions to the back of the building, it is quite a popular place for people to meet and have fun.

Mason got straight to the shop attendant as he enters and tell him that he is waiting for someone and he will be at table ten which is almost at the exit to the back extension of the coffee shop.

While Mason was waiting,  Claire, Susan and Jasmine are already on their way, although Jasmine seems to be running late which keeps making  Mason think that Jasmine is not probably going to come because she is still mad at him and each time he calls her it is going straight to voicemail.

Apparently, Jasmine left home even earlier than Mason but she forgot her purse and her phone is inside her purse as well which makes her go back home even though she is already halfway to the coffee shop.

Claire who is almost at the restaurant got a call from Susan that she has already gotten to the coffee shop.

Mason saw Susan as she enters the shop but he is not sure if she is the Susan that he knows who happens to his sister’s best friend, he did not want to create any awkward moments at the shop.

Susan is sitting at table five and waiting for Claire to arrive and  Claire is just fifty meters from the entrance of the coffee shop while Jasmine is eighty meters from the entrance of the coffee shop at Claire’s back.

In prison, Gomez and Will seem to be wondering about what happened between Aveiro and  Moses which made Moses beat Aveiro’s ball out of him.

Gomez and Will decided to approach Moses about it;

“Firstly, we really respect your crew because your crew give respect to whom it’s due, but then we could not understand why Aveiro did not deserve such respect from you and you know so well that he is Bernado’s brother”, Will said

“yes,  he is Bernado’s brother, why do you both care about that or you guys are Bernado’s newest lapdogs now?”, Moses responds

“You don’t have to insult us, we don’t care about Bernado at all until he makes us work for him and  now he wants to make us his brother’s slave”, Gomez responds

“oh!  He dumped a body on your doorstep?”, Moses asks

“yes!  He make us kill the cannibal”, Will said

“if you have already killed for him, why is he still on your necks?”, Moses asks

“I have not killed for him yet, but Will have done so”, Gomez responds.

“Then why are you in this picture?”, Moses asks as he turns towards Will

“Bernado said we should protect his brother rather than Gomez killing for him”, Will said

“so he punished both of you after Aveiro got that beating from my men?”, Moses asks

“that’s a bit precise because he punished only Gomez, he assumed I’ve killed for him already”, Will said.

“And he took one of my balls for that because Aveiro also lost one of his balls”, Gomez responds angrily.

“oh good God! He did not even know what his brother did before smashing another person’s ball”, Moses said.

“That is the reason why we are here, so we could know where to start from”, Will said.

“Well, Aveiro deserves what he got from me because he raped my sister (Esther)  outside this walls and he threatened to kill her if she reports to anyone,  there was nothing I could do about it until he got arrested”, Moses explained

“holy sh*t”, Will and Gomez both said.

“Yeah, so what did you think I have to do then?, let him get away when I can now make him pay?”, Moses said.

At the coffee shop,  Mason who seem to be relentlessly restless pick up his phone to call Jasmine again and this time she answered the call;

“hey, what happened?, I’ve been waiting for you for like forever”, Mason lamented

“Sorry about that, I left my phone at home so I  went back for it and I’m already close by now, I will see you in a jiffy”, Jasmine responded.

Claire enters the shop and immediately her eyes and Susan’s eyes contact each other because table five is a bit close to the entrance of the shop but Claire sat down backing the entrance of the shop.

Claire sits down but noticed the unique perfume of her brother which made her look around a bit if her brother is around the corner because she knows her and Mason likes coming to the coffee shop often in some years back.

Not long after Claire entered,  Jasmine enters as well but Claire could not help but notice the sexy ass going in front of her to the attendant table.

Claire smiled at the ass and just when she was about to look at the face then Susan asked;

“are you lesbian now or what?”,

“Nah,  just admiring that and that’s all it is”, Claire answers

After the attendant directed Jasmine to where Mason is, Claire decided to look at the face of the owner of the ass she saw.

Claire was stunned but can not show it which made her mute her mouth because she did not want to raise any suspicions when her best friend is sitting right in front of her.

Claire uses are eyes to trace where Jasmine went to and she could see the kind of dark hair are brother has and the kind of wristwatch he has.

Mason could not see Claire from that far distance because of several obstructions of different tables between the two of them and what is more important to him is Jasmine sitting in front of him at the moment.

Claire’s heart begins to pound profusely because she keeps wondering what Jasmine and Mason are talking about together.

Claire is just sitting in front of Susan but her mind is not with Susan because she keeps thinking about her brother and Jasmine,  Susan noticed that something is off about Claire and asked;

“bes,  what is going on?  And why are you looking sideways almost every minute”

“I… .I… uhmm.. This place is beautiful and it has been a little while I was here”, Claire responded.

“bes,  are you nervous? because the last time I  checked it is when you are nervous you usually stammer”, Susan doubting Claire.

“well a lot has happened since the last time we saw each other,  so I might not be that nervous person you know”, Claire trying to cover up the lapses.

“That’s so true, the last time, I  am not with this huge tech company I am with right now which just literally make me fly around the world whenever I want to”, Susan cheered up the talk.

“Oh! Really where have you been going lately?”, Claire asked because it seem interesting to her and yet she is still looking at her brother from her table as he is showing Jasmine some things from his phone.

“I’ve been to Algeria,  Italy, the UK and some other Asian countries”, Susan said

“Wow! Seems like a dream come true, I’m happy for you Suxzy”, Claire said trying to divert the attention away from herself.

“so tell me about yours, what have you been doing ever since?”, Susan asked

“as you know I’m a makeup artist so I eventually have my shop and my own employees in it”, Claire said as she turn her face sideways again.

Mason on the other side of his table telling Jasmine how sorry he is and letting her know that the messages are some crazy misunderstanding on his part which made him show his phone to Jasmine that truly the message she accused him of sending is not on his phone anymore;

“Jas,  I’m truly sorry I never meant to hurt you because I care about you”, Mason apologizes

“if you truly care about me then explain the message you sent to me”, Jasmine wants clarity.

“I did not know I  sent the message until I took the phone to the IT department of our company and I was told truly a message originally went out from my phone which made me upgrade the firewall of the phone”, Mason explains as he shows the phone to Jasmine.

“OK give me a sec to wrap my head around this”, Jasmine said

“don’t overthink it”, Mason said as he puts his finger on Jasmine’s lips.

Mason removed his finger from Jasmine’s lips and stretches his neck forward to kiss Jasmine really deep.

After the first deep kiss, Jasmine could not have enough so she pulls Mason’s neck closer again for another deep kiss in which she enjoyed as well.

Claire who is seeing all these scenes of kisses go on between Jasmine and her brother has been feeling uncomfortable where she is and she has been thinking of telling Susan some things so that Susan could help her and she would have her brother back.

Mason seems to be all loved up because the meeting is going way too good beyond his plan, he and  Jasmine are already planning to leave the shop and go to his apartment.

Jasmine seems to be convinced or loved up as she has already let her guard down and forgot what she told her brother (Richard) before coming for the meeting because she is about to hop right back on Mason’s bed.

After some couple of kisses Mason and  Jasmine stand up one after the other to take their leave as they stand up. They hold each other’s hands which make Claire more uncomfortable as she sees the hands.

Mason and Jasmine head straight to the exit which is the same entrance they used while coming in, Claire sees both of them as they are coming towards the entrance which makes her decide to use her big sunglasses to cover her identity with her head facing down.

Susan who is sitting right in front of Claire was stunned by the kind of behaviour Claire is portraying, which makes her ask;

“Are you hiding from someone?”.

“something like that, and I  think I  have to tell you something maybe you could help me out”, Claire responded.

Did Claire tell Susan about the kind of help she needs?

In the prison,  Moses, Will and Gomez are still having their discussion;

“now that you still want to take your revenge on Aveiro in the nearest future,  you are putting us in a delicate situation”, Will said.

“So I should let him go?”, Moses asks

“What about you joining us to kill Bernado?”, Gomez said…..
