After the encounter with Tom last night I managed to convince April to let me go back to my flat for the day. There is just one small problem with that.
“Why did you come along?”
“You never know when someone might attack, it’s best if we stick together, plus it’s my family’s car.”
Well, I guess she wasn’t wrong, but it’s going to be really annoying bringing her into my flat.
“Why did you decide to go to university anyway?”
“Some of us aren’t born with a family that makes billions, some of us actually need to work to survive.”
“What were you studying?”
“Physics.”
“Physics? You don’t seem like the type of person to study something that nerdy. I was expecting something like Mixed Martial Arts, or Taekwondo.”
“I wanted to get rid of that life, so why would I study that?”
“I dunno.”
April still doesn’t seem to understand that not everyone wants to live a life of danger, some people just want to be normal.
“Ah, we are here.”
My university wasn’t that well known, I tried to pick a smallish place where I could live away and try and start a new life. I’m realising now I didn’t go far enough.

“Before you enter my flat, I should probably tell you about my flatmate, his name is Chris. Try not to hit him, he means well he is just a bit lonely.”
As I opened the door I was immediately greeted by Chris who was sleeping in front of the door waiting for me to get back. This happens a lot more then it should.
“AH! Kyle, welcome back, I wasn’t waiting for you I just happened to pass out in front of the door.”
He says this every time.
“Who is this lovely lady behind you? Your Girlfriend? If not I’m single, haha.”
I feel bad for the guy, he was your typical university lad, who would often go out drinking to try and hit on girls, he wasn’t bad looking he just has a very clingy personality which causes him to fail.
“This is April, She’ll be with me for the rest of the day. Please try to get along.”
“Hi, I’m April Reilly II and Kyle’s future wife, nice to meet you.”
April’s saying unnecessary stuff again.
“Huh? Did you say, Reilly? As in the Reilly Foundation?”
“Yup, that’s her. Try not to let it bother you. If anything, think of her as just some random girl. We’ll be in my room for a bit, please try not to disturb us.”
“Ah… I see…”
He was clearly in shock, anyone would if they met someone worth billions, I guess I can’t blame him, I was shocked first time as well. We both moved into my bedroom, luckily I cleaned up last week.
“Right Kyle, What’s the plan.”
“Don’t have one.”
“What? So what are we doing?”
“Killing time.”
“Until what?”
“Hmm, don’t know, I was kinda hoping they would make the first move. I don’t just want to storm the capital.”
April was speechless, she thought I had a plan to stop ‘The Claws’ but I just wanted to have one day of peace before getting involved in something dangerous again.
I rested on my bed for about 5 minutes in silence whilst April stood there watching me.
“Ah!”
I suddenly sat up as if releasing something very important, April was surprised and eager to hear what I had to say.
“What? Have you got a plan?”
“Nope! I’m hungry. Let’s go get something to eat.”
“…WHAT!”

There was this nice little cafe in the centre of the town, I often ate there sometimes when trying to focus on work, it was a nice place with friendly staff, plus they do a killer Lemon Cake.
“Do you want anything to eat? They do a killer Lemon Cake.”
April clearly wasn’t impressed.
“Humf, guess I’ll have a slice then.”
One thing I learned about April, you can always convince her with cake.
We both ordered a slice of cake and a cup of coffee each, we decided to sit next to a window to see the view, it wasn’t much of a view but it was a nice day so it felt nice sitting in the sun.
“So anyway, about this plan…”
“Hmmmmm. This cake is really nice, this place is as good as I remember.”
“Listen, Kyle, we need a plan…”
“Ouch, hot hot hot… sorry, this coffee is hot.”
“Kyle! stop ignoring me…”
“Ah, I spilt some coffee on the table, don’t worry I’ll clear it up.”
“Kyle! What are you doing!”
April was clearly pissed.
“Shush, April, why don’t you calm down for a second. How long would you say we have been in this cafe for?”
“Wha? About 5 minutes why?”
“So why is it that we’ve been here for 5 minutes and everyone can’t take their eyes off us.”
“Huh?”
April didn’t notice, as soon as we entered this cafe everyone was watching us, listening to everything we were saying and constantly monitoring our every move.
“Now don’t rush, let’s just calmly stand up and…”
I slowly stood, trying not to bring too much attention to myself. April slowly followed behind me. As soon as we stood up everyone in the cafe stood up as well, revealing hidden guns which within a second were all pointed at our heads preventing us from escaping.
To Be Continued Next Week.
