Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Meeting David, again.

The first thing Phoebe did when she got home was to feed Connie some white rabbit candy because she needed to charge the pendant with ghost energy, no matter how little it was.

“Thank you.” Connie said.

It was a rare kind of politeness which surprised Phoebe and the Saxon spirit, stunning them into silence for a little while. Phoebe had no idea what had entered the girl for her to suddenly become nice to her.

Was Connie still scared because she had disappeared into the pendant for a little while?

“That’s much better.” The Saxon spirit’s color began to return slowly.

Phoebe was so relieved because this was the first time she was seeing it look too drained and pale. This was a lesson however, for her not to push the limits. If the spirit went back to sleep just as it had been doing before she activated the pendant with her blood, who would help and guide her?

Connie who was enjoying the treats asked why they both looked like they had fought with mountain lions. “What did I miss? Sister did something happen at home?” Asked the teenage ghost.

“Mountain lions!” Phoebe exclaimed.

She didn’t think she looked so bad. Some of her hair was out of place but that was it.

“Ha! Home? I beg to differ. That place cannot be called a home. Those people are monsters and all of them, especially that man that calls himself Phoebe’s father.” The Saxon spirit sank into a cushion chair.

Phoebe wasn’t in the mood to narrate what had transpired back at home and besides that she was used to her parents being dramatic lately. However today she felt a certain sense of relief that she had finally stood up for herself, the Saxon spirit was beaming with pride.

“It’s about time you told those people off, all they do is leech off of you, asking for this and that but they never appreciate anything you do for them.

And that skunk Ruth, she will never be a Saxon, i don’t know what her obsession is with my family but i will not let her have her way. Those slaps you gave her, she had it coming.

David Saxon is your man and no one else’s. This time be intentional about getting him back, what you think you know in your past life is only your version not his.”

Connie who was still in shock on hearing that Phoebe slapped Ruth finally spoke through a mouth full of candy. “Phoebe slapped Ruth? How did I miss that? I wish I had been there, I would have given her invisible slaps as well.”

The two ghosts continued to discuss the issue and plotted on how they were going to torture Ruth, the woman whom they labeled to be the enemy.

Phoebe who had been perched in the single chair stood up because her stomach churned for the third time. She was hungry, starving in fact as she had not eaten all day. Besides, that little fight at home had drained some of her own energy.

Lazily, she walked to the kitchen and made herself a fruit salad and sandwich.

Connie moved to where she was with a bottle of red wine. “Sister, after the day you’ve had, you need this.”

The Saxon spirit excused itself and informed them that it needed to sermon the paper men. “We need to do that bloodline spell, I cannot shake off the feeling that something is terribly wrong with your family.” It vanished into the pendant.

Phoebe carried the wooden food tray that had the food and glass of wine to the balcony. It was big with the floor covered by a green grass carpet with cute flowers pinned to imitate a garden.

Flower pots sat at all four corners, a white swing chair at the center and small wooden table in front of it.

She placed the tray on the table and let out an exhausted sigh before sinking into the fluffy pillows in the swing chair, with her eyes closed, Phoebe inhaled and exhaled deeply with her eyes closed.

She took a big sip of the wine and opened her eyes which directly moved to the direction of the opposite neighbors house and that’s when she saw him; David Saxon.

He stood there, watching her unwaveringly. Phoebe who had been sitting outside for about twenty minutes wondered how long he had been standing there.

Like a statue, Phoebe remained silent, it’s like she froze in the moment. She wished for the ground to open and swallow her but all she could do was stay still and stare right back.

[Bloody hell! What is he doing there? Is he the new neighbor? How? Why?]

Phoebe’s head was bombarded with questions she had no answers to.

David was more than dumbfounded, this wasn’t how he had planned to meet her but when he saw her he just couldn’t resist looking at her.

What was more astonishing was the fact that he could see her thoughts and according to what he had seen, It’s like Phoebe knew who he was but then again who didn’t in Fog country.

Having experienced a rebirth, he was not very shocked when he realized that he could somehow read her thoughts. He figured that it was one of the perks of being reborn.

Phoebe was still panicking.

[Of all places to move to, he chose this place. Is this what they call fate or a coincidence?]

This wasn’t how they had met in the past life, Phoebe was an intern researcher at the Saxon labs when she met him. She had developed a massive crush on him the moment he joined the research team. From that moment on, Phoebe had made it her life’s mission to woo him despite knowing that he was a play boy, until one time he agreed to date her casually but fell for her hardworking and kind personality.

Although she had told Ruth that she was going after David, Phoebe wasn’t ready to face him yet however it seemed like fate had other plans in stock for her.

“Hi there, am your new neighbor. David Saxon.” David introduced himself casually with a smile playing on his lips.

Connie who was blushing and smiling non stop sighed. “6’5, blue eyes and rich. He’s perfect, if you don’t want him you can just toss him over to me.” She continued to admire the man.

“Phoebe.” She spoke with indifference, her ice cold eyes fixed on him. This man had caused her a lot of pain because he easily fell into Ruth’s trap.

She now planned to use him against her, falling for him wasn’t an option.

[Why is he staring at me like that?]

Phoebe shifted uncomfortably in her sit, she picked up the tray and began to eat slowly. Stealing a glance once in a while to look at him.

David read her thoughts again and realized that he was making her uncomfortable and that’s the last thing he wanted. Seeing her beautiful face was enough for the day.

“Have a good night, I hope to see you often Pheebs.” The nickname came out easily from his lips which caused her to spew the wine that she was about to swallow.
