Chapter 3

She paused and took in a sip of her drink.

"Oh, that?" She asked and continued eating, but I wasn't. 

I was just staring at her, hopefully waiting for an answer. 

"Well, I have no idea. Nobody does - maybe except who is around them" she replied and I sighed disappointed

"But it all started long years ago" she added. 

"They seemed inseparable back then, May was a quiet human, while Crystal was the flirty type.

"Unfortunately, May disappeared; like she just disappeared and nobody has heard from her since then. 

"Crystal she's just different, things were never the same again..."

"Like the breakup was scary?" I murmured and she shrugged. 

"well, yeah. And it's kind of complicated. 

Since the breakup, May has a girlfriend which she later die same goes to the third girlfriend she was found dead also. The two girls ended up dead".

"So what do you think?" I asked. 

"Do you think it's just a coincidence?"

"Well, I don't know about that. Like I said, it's complicated. Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's not, one thing for sure; something really big definitely happened between those ladies - something really big".

A brief silence stepped in for a while. 

"I heard they're no female workers in her mansion" I broke the silence. 

"Oh, yes. May's idea" she replied. "She's been trying to avoid contact with girls in every way. 

"You know her only family is her old aged grandmother. She's very old now and that's the only female staying with her for a long time now. 

Mayor May is so crazily strict and mindful. 

"Huh? Why doesn't she just get a caretaker or a nurse or something?" I asked, muddled. 

"Hello? Have you forgotten I said no female workers in the mansion? Her grandma has hired about more than twelve nannies - if I'm not mistaken - but they all lost their jobs within 24 hours".

"Like f_king 24hrs!" 

I gasped.

"You mean she sends them away?" I asked. 

"Ah ah!. She always screams, worked them up, scaring them to the point they run away. She doesn't want any girl around her. Even their cook is a Man."

"But why's she suddenly abstaining from girls?" I asked. 

"Well, maybe she's scared to fall love again. I mean, after what happened to the other two girls she loved. Anyway, I don't know; I have no idea" .

I nodded and looked down at my food. 

"Tell me; why are you asking all this question, do you like her?" She asked and i blushed. 

"You also know many details about them, do you like her?" I ask replied.

Hmm… will I was once a fangirl, I shipped this too two people but it end up a waste. They just cut all ties and move to they separate ways. Running from getting heartbreak is better than staying and pretending it's love. 

I mean love kinda sucks and it hurts sometimes right, sometimes I ask myself if I have ever be loved. 

Hey! Pim are you with me?

Yeah" I mumble back to the real world. I'm fine just a lot of thinking going through my head. We should go now. 

Pim!" Silver called.

Yeah! 

You shouldn't think much for your health okay.

Yeah, thank you.

Tell me what up with your name Pim, kinda sound weird. I mean who will give their child Pim; like pimples? 

Literally Pim isn't the real name. My family usually call it that way for short but in full it's called Pimento. 

Oh! 

Pimento!
