Jo sat down froze in front of Hugh. She was stunned with what Hugh have just said. A decision that would surely change everything. Hugh didn’t face his wife, instead he placed his piercing blue eyes to the children he planned to songesha back to London.
Hugh: We will have them back in their old school and settle back there like we used to…
Jo: Hugh, what the hell is going on? Were wewe fired? If wewe are, just tell me…
Hugh: I wasn’t --- <he looked at his wife who sat straight now>
Jo: Then what made wewe decide to songesha back our family home? <Hugh was silent> We can’t just leave the states in an instant, wewe know that. wewe have signed ---
Hugh: Then I will resign… <Jo held his hand>
Jo: Cut this crap now, please… It has been a rough mwaka for the kids and moving them back won’t bring them no good… <she stood up and went in leaving Hugh seated alone>

kwa inayofuata day, Hugh was filming a scene with Lisa. It was the Huddy kiss that the mashabiki had been waiting for so long. It was all work for her but for him, it was something he wished he wouldn’t be doing for it will add to the feeling he was trying not to plant on. The director directed them to do this and that. Finally, Lisa and Hugh were standing face to face.
Director: Okay, here we go… Action!
Lisa: <as Cuddy> Why do wewe need to negate everything?!
Hugh moved mbele as Lisa professionally acted scared then they kissed followed kwa Hugh leaving the house setting. He was out the door alone as the taping was going on inside. He stared to the sky then back to the ground, unsure of what to call the sensation that he felt the moment his lips touched Lisa’s.

That night, Robert and Hugh were once again having a boys’ night out in a nearby bar.
Robert: <picking up his phone> I’ll call Omar and Jesse to be here. They shouldn’t be missing this.
Hugh: Uh-huh. But make sure their wife and girlfriend allowed them to be here. I don’t want to see girls dragging them nyumbani again… <they laughed>
Robert: <he opened his phone and stopped dialing> Okay, never mind. Let’s just have Lisa tonight.
Hugh: Lisa? --- wewe think Giammario would allow her to here? It’s already past nine in the evening.
Robert: Oh, Gi’s not here. He took the earliest flight out of California for Italy.
Hugh was silent and couldn’t build up an answer to what Robert had told him. Robert, on the other hand, was about to make a call. Just when he was about to turn back to his friend, Hugh left to nowhere.

Somewhere in LA, Lisa was once again kusoma her journal after turning off the phone. As she flipped through the pages, she can’t deny that she’s happy with whatever she was kusoma on as smiles were drew on her face. One page have these thoughts:

[/i]“It was a hard siku for me and for the rest of the crew and my Marafiki in House. We have to be on set as early as three in the morning and Hugh and I have to be in an interview right after work. Sleepy eyes, headaches, muscle pains, name it all, I have it all today. Of course, I was asked again what a great man Hugh is. I know I have answered that swali hundred times but I don’t think I am tired of answering them. It just sounds so great.  I upendo being around him. Just watching his blue eyes looking back at me makes me shiver and feel like heaven. He’s funny, educated, caring, sexy <of course, who thinks he isn’t?> and I upendo him –“[/i]

Just when she’s about to finish kusoma her thoughts, she heard a familiar engine sound, Hugh’s bike, coming down the highway then it stopped when it reached her front lawn. She stood up and walked to her living room only to see him standing frozen before her gate. She smiled when she saw him doing nothing but tossing his keys into the air. She observed him as he started to walk through her garden aisle then back to his bike after a few steps. He turned again and did the same thing afterwards. His hands were trembling and his conscience was bugging his mind to stop and just go home. Inside, Lisa was laughing at Hugh’s childish way. He repeated this for three times and for three times he also went back to his bike. He faced the sky again, feeling stupid and a piece of crap but then for the fourth time, he walked straight towards Lisa’s front door. He knocked twice before she opened. She was radiantly beautiful tonight with a gorgeous smile on her red lips. Their eyes were locked and somewhere in his system, without Lisa’s knowledge, Hugh’s searching some courage to speak up.
Lisa: Oh, Hugh, what are doing here?
Hugh: Lisa, I ----
