A happy ending quote.

"Where is Mishael? "

Screech......

Two cars followed suit and stopped at the place where Mr. Jones, was directing the movie.

The door of the second car was swung open by the driver, followed by the appearance of two feet, then arms, then the body and finally Him. Mishael, an actor and the son of a famous business tycoon.

He was dressed, in a black coat and blue jeans. He adjusted his coat well and smiled, then took a deep breath, trying to perceive the smell of the atmosphere.

Feels good to be here.

"There he is, Anna, go and welcome him," Mr. Jones told the 5'6ft girl standing in front of him. Anna was his own daughter, a well-known actress. She went to meet Mishael.

"Hi" She extended her hands towards him as he took it. "I guess you already know me, nevertheless, I'm Joanna Jones," She said neatly as she checked him out nicely.

"And I'm Mishael Atkinson, Nice meeting you" They both stared at each other, still holding their hands. He used this opportunity to check her out too, she was putting on a blue crop top and a short, her almost brown hair, which matched with her brown eyes, was left curled down.

"Mishael, son, come in please" Mr. Jones interrupted, quickly they let their hands go.
Joanna shook her head and was about to leave for her friend's house but she was stopped by her dad. "Don't you want to get to know him, you know..."He raised his eyebrows and she rolled her eyes. Dads.
She hadn't been in a relationship for a year now because she was scared of another heartbreak.

"Dad, I'm not in the mood for this now, I have to go". She said and left her father dumbfounded.

"Hey Cherry, meet me at our usual spot in 5mins please" She called her friend.

"Ma'am, where are you going?" Her driver followed behind her with two bodyguards, when she collected the car keys from him.

"No not this time, I'd drive myself, thank you." She gave him a generous smile as she went into the car and drove off.

"Mishael Atkinson, Hmm. He is so handsome and hot, I wish I were in your place, girl" Her friend said admiring the picture on Joanna's phone. They both sat in her car chatting.

"I know right, my father really wants us to have a thing going, but... "

"I know, I know, you are scared of heartbreak, but you have to move on..... and I know you left California because of that....give him a chance girl," Cherry said as she placed her left hand on Joanna's shoulder.

"I just want a simple life, no boyfriend, no acting, Just....."She said thinking about what her friend had just said. Maybe I should give him a try. "You know I didn't call you here to talk about this, let's go out. We can go shopping, play games at my house, I'm just so bored staying at home this summer"

"Hmm, simple life huh? Okay but I think shopping would be cool". They both got down from Joanna's car.

" What? Isn't shopping part of living a simple life?" She rolled her eyes and was about to enter into her car but then.

"Take It from him, who does he think he is?"Joanna looked back to see what was causing all the noise she had heard. She saw people had gathered on someone, she didn't know who it was so she decided to check.

"Joan Ignore, it might just be nothing, let's go" She stopped then turned back to her car. "He is a thief, look he can't even say anything to defend himself which means he stole it. How can someone like him buy such expensive jewelry from my shop, his clothes look torn. Beat him". She couldn't stop her self any longer so she walked as fast as she could where the crowd had gathered. She moved closer entering their middle, there she saw the boy laid on the floor with blood all over his face from all the beating.

"Hey stop hitting him, can't you hear me, I said stop". They'd all stopped at the sound of her voice. "Hey, who are you? Leave here and don't interfere" The shop owner said then she pulled her sunglasses off her eyes. "Please leave him alone, he is hurt. Take this, I'd give you more" She reached her hand into her pocket and pulled out 50 dollars.

"Hey boys, carry on," The man said, and they continued.

"Please sir, tell them to stop, please, "She said with fear and concern.

"Okay, I'll stop for your sake, because you seem to be a very nice girl, keep the money, Is he related to you? " She shook her head. " Okay, boys, you can leave him now, let's go" They stopped and left. She rushed to him.

"What's your name and what just happened?" She asked him.

"It was a misunderstanding, I'm not a thief" Louis tried to make her understand by signing with his hands. Then she knew he was dumb.

"I'm sorry, I can't understand what you are trying to say, but I think it'd be right to take you home, where's your home... Oh, right you can't...." Her face palmed herself thinking of what to do, he just kept staring and nodding. "You can write, right?" He nodded.

"Come, let's go, carefully" She helped him up slowly and took him to his car. She tore a sheet of paper and gave him a pen to put down his address.

"Joan, what are you doing?"Her friend said when she noticed a stranger sitting in the car with blood.

"Don't worry about it, " She said as she collected the paper he had put his address. She drove him home and gave him to his mother before anyone sees her. She left.
