My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)



The store was closed.

Sheldon was shocked.

Yesseca couldn't be this ruthless, could she? The president had come to see her last night and today her shop was closed!

Sheldon looked at Tremaine uneasily. He then saw a glimmer of light in Tremaine's eyes. "I knew it! Yesseca has gone to Nashaland! She's probably still there! That's why her store is closed!"

Sheldon was quiet.

He was no match for Tremaine's manic imaginings.

"This was very strange!"

"I never knew the president had such a wild imagination."

"But sir, Preslie is still here." Wanting to dispel Tremaine's self-induced illusion, he explained, "Even if Yesseca was in Nashaland, Preslie is still here in town. She wouldn't have closed the store if she was here."

Sheldon said this with the underlying message that Yesseca wasn't in Nashaland.

But Tremaine ignored him.

He then said, "I need to go back to Nashaland. She's in Nashaland right now. I need to go back to Nashaland!"

Sheldon was quiet.

The president was mad.

Raving mad!

But it would be a lot safer for him to be in Nashaland than to remain in Agaphen City right now!

Just as Sheldon was about to put his foot on the accelerator, two women appeared.

It was Yesseca and Preslie!

Sheldon looked at them quietly.

What a coincidence!

Just as he was about to leave with the president, these two showed up!

Tremaine's eyes lit up when he spotted Yesseca.

He got out of the car and rushed towards her.

Yesseca also spotted Tremaine.

She froze for a moment, then turned around and tried to leave but it was too late. Tremaine had already seen her.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Tremaine's eyes filled with guilt but

also looked manic. He quickly said, "Yesseca, I'm so sorry. I must have been unconscious when you came to see me earlier. Don't be angry, I'm sorry didn't say anything to you earlier. That's why I came looking for you. I'm so sorry."

Yesseca was quiet.

She looked at Tremaine, looking somewhat confused.

When have I ever gone to see him?

Just as she was about to ask him this, Tremaine continued, "It must have been very difficult for you to travel all the way to Nashaland. I'm so sorry for not accompanying you while you were there. I'll take you back to Nashaland right now and I promise to stay beside you every day, okay?"

He had clearly touched a sore spot of Yesseca's.

She immediately raised her voice and said, "Tremaine! I've already told you! I'm never going back to Nashaland ever again! I will never step foot into Nashaland for the rest of my life! Don't ever mention that place to me ever again!"

Tremaine was shocked.

"But didn't you come to see me last night? You came to see me in Nashaland. I held your hand."

Yesseca grew even angrier when she heard this.

She blushed and said, "You're talking nonsense! I never went to Nashaland! I never held your hand!" "You did! You came last night." Tremaine was becoming anxious. "I saw you."

Yesseca's became even more flustered as her face turned red, "Nonsense!"

Preslie stepped forward and said, "Yesseca stayed home with me last night. She never went to Nashaland at all. It would have been impossible for her to."

Tremaine felt like a bucket of ice cold water had been dumped on him.

He looked at Yesseca in a dazed state, unable to say anything to her.

Yesseca then turned around and rushed away from him.

She and Preslie had come back to open up their store for the rest of the day, but they had now changed their mind.

Seeing Yesseca rush away, Preslie quickly followed after her.

Tremaine didn't try to stop Yesseca.

He was still stuck in a daze.

Sheldon was extremely uncomfortable with this. He stepped forward and said, "Mr. Tremaine, I told you that you were imagining things. You dreamt of

Yesseca coming to see you, but she never did."

Tremaine slowly turned his head towards Sheldon. "She never came to see me?"

"No, she did not." Sheldon replied with certainty.
