345 Girls Night Out - Part 11
Wednesday, continued …
Before Anna could say anything further the waiting staff brought in everyone's main als and Alecia moved slightly away from Anna.
Amanda noted this, and decided once she had finished her al, she would head over and quietly speak to Anna.
Fifteen minutes later, seeing that Alecia was watching the movie Amanda moved over the spea quietly to Anna, and said "She opened up to you?"
Quietly so Alecia would not overhear, Anna responded "She did.She has not let know who was involved but whoever that b*stard is, he has scared her.There in fact were two who repeatedly raped her, and she believes that she is still open to targeting.She has agreed, with my support to talk to the police and take it further.She knows what that will an, including naming or giving whatever identifying information on the perpetrators.I am hopeful that I might be able to convince the police to interview her at Yi and my apartnt, rather than her having to attend the police station."
"No matter how much her father, brothers and I have talked about it, she has refused to do anything, and yet in one discussion, you had her agree."
"I think she understood that I could put myself in her position, and therefore I have beco the one person she can trust."Anna however wondered if that was the only reason,She say Alecia and Jas looking at each other before they walked away and had this feeling that there was sothing else there when they ca back.The question is what.
"We all have our suspicions on who did this, but until she confirms it nothing can be done."
"Let us stop being morbid and enjoy tonight."
With that all thoughts of what was to co with helping Alecia were put on Hold, and Anna started to get into the movie, and enjoying the night.Even Alecia seed, to Anna to be more relaxed that she was when they arrived.
While watching the movie, Alecia sat contemplating things.She knew what she had agreed to with Anna, after having listened to and taken on board Jas' advice.It scared her talking about what happened to the police, but she knew Anna was right she had to deal with it.
The problem was, what would Jas think, would he run in the other direction, would he refuse to ever talk to her again, once he knew what happened.That was more terrifying for her than anything else.She knew Jas, would be important in her life, the question is what would that be.Would he ever co back here or would she have the opportunity to spend ti with him in Australia.
It then crossed her mind, did he have a girlfriend, that would be crushing.That would, for her take away the reason to go forward, knowing there was potentially sothing in the future.That made it definite, she needed to talk to Jas, so she pulled out her phone and sent him a text ssage 'Took your advice and spoke to Anna.Still out, but I need to talk to you later.'
Within a minute, she received a response 'Call when ever.We need to talk, but enjoy yourself.'
That ssage for Alecia, gave her hope.He did want to talk, but what was that as, a friend or the potential for sothing more?Would she have the opportunity to find this out snatched away, before she could see what happened?
Not long after 10pm, Anna started to feel over tired, and everyone agreed to end what, even for Alecia had been a good night out with the girls, before getting ready to head back to the Hou Ancestral ho.
Rebecca and Rosemary where their usual selves with a girls night out particularly given they were not paying for drinks.Totally drunk.Anna, before they left the room she took out her cara and sneakily took a couple of photos.Rebecca, noticed a flash with the last photo Anna took and said "What in the world!"
"Blackmail dear sister.You two know what Adam and Ben said, and if you want to try and cause issues for with them, I have the evidence you broke a promise to them about not getting drunk on a girls night out."
Rosemary, on hearing that turned around "You better delete that, or I will tell ..."
"Ever heard of patient confidentiality Rosemary?"
Laughingly, realising that she was not going to win the argunt Rosemary responded "Just you wait, I will get my revenge, and you better not thing about using that photo."Anna just responded with a laugh.
In the trip back to the Hou Ancestral Ho they chatted among themselves, Alecia struggling to totally get involved in the conversation.When they arrived there, Amanda and Alecia climbed into the waiting car to take them ho, with Anna promising to call Alecia tomorrow, after everything was sorted.Amanda indicated that she would ssage Anna the number.
Anna, took her ti to head back to their room and found Hou Yi sitting on a couch reading business papers.When he looked up he noticed that it was Anna entering their room, so he quickly put his papers back into his breifcase, and closed it.He noticed that Anna was exhausted so he grabbed her a nightdress and helped her change before settling her into bed before changing into pajamas himself and climbing into bed himself.As he turned off the lamp on his side of the bed, he bent over Anna to give her a brief kiss.However, for Anna there was no way that she was going to let Hou Yi move away before they spent so ti kissing.
When eventually, Anna pulled away Hou Yi heard a sigh that imdiately alerted him to the fact that sothing was on Anna's mind."What is wrong?"
"Yi, you idiot.Neither you, Amanda or that friend of yours Yan Tan felt able to tell about his children."
"Anna, they are not a secret.I can only applaud him, as when they were born he stepped up for them, sacrificing his dreams.Despite having known for seven or eight years he wanted to marry Amanda, he even delayed that for their sake.It took a lot for him to be convinced to even marry her given it was what they both wanted.The children helped that happen, particularly Alecia."
"Speaking of Alecia, she is ssed up with what happened to her.She talked to sowhat about it tonight."
"Her father and I suspect that he b*stard who did this was Lu Jinhu, because her was there and was seen talking to her on the balcony after being told by her brothers earlier in the night and Tan during a business eting earlier in the day where to do.We think he wanted revenge, but do not know who else might have been involved.She will not talk about what happened to her"
"After talking to , I have got her to agree to talk to the police tomorrow, but she needs safety so I want to try and have that happen at our apartnt."With a pause in a sweet helpless voice Anna continued "Could you contact Officer Mu, and see if soone that he trusts to deal with a vulnerable, victim of s*xual assault like Alecia, could co to the apartnt to talk to her.I hate asking him for help, but he has shown that he is trustworthy."
"Leave it with , but promise that other than that you will spend the day with your family?"
"I will."
With that Hou Yi and Anna, settled themselves into each other's arms and drifted off to sleep.
anwhile, on arriving back at the family apartnt with Amanda, Alecia ran into her room and locked her bedroom door behind her.As soon as she could she puled out her phone and called Jas, letting him know she talked to Anna, and asked for his help in the tomorrow, when with Anna's help she talked to the police.
After Jas' promise, they simply talked on the phone for over forty-five, until Jas told her that she needed to have a long sleep as tomorrow will be challenging for her.
