Eliza hit me on my bare thigh and it hurt so bad

I screamed and hit her arm. She pushed me and I pushed her back

“you're the stupidest person ever!” she yelled at me

“stupidest is an old fashioned word” I said and rolled my eyes

“and so are you. You're so old fashioned”

She stood up and began to pace about dramatically as she spoke

“I force you to call Will and force you to try to start a conversation. But why can't I force you to have sense” she stood akimbo and faced me

“I really don't know what I did wrong this time. I called him and spoke with him, didn't I?” I asked, trying to back myself up

“yes you did. But why did you say you were going to be busy? What if he wanted to take you out? Or come and see you?”

“well, that's what I was trying to

    WilburI wanted to run and stop her but I didn't. It pained me that she refused.I stood there for a few more minutes before I breathed in and sat in the car. I wanted to start it but my hands were weak.Why does she keep acting that way? Is it that she still doesn't like me? Her attitude is not making me happy. I just wanted to talk with her a littleI braced up and started the car then drove to my sister's house.She was in her gym, on a yoga mat, wearing yoga pants and following a yoga class from the TV.“I need your help” I said immediately I entered the gym.She looked at me before facing the screen again“what?” she asked“how do you get a girl to like you in real life?” I asked and she immediately stopped and looked at me“what type of like?” she ask

    MariGoldIt was just after noon on Friday. I finished early with my I.T class and I was heading to the administrative block to summit an assignment to one of my professors.As I crossed the street, somebody that might have been running bumped into me from behind and the next thing I heard was squealing in my ear“my eardrums!” I screamed and wriggled free from Eliza's tight grip around my waist“you won't believe it, I found us jobs already!” she squealed and jumped up“I hope the pay is good” I said and began to walk very slowly while she followed me in equal pace“forget about the pay girl. It doesn't matter in this case” she said and flipped her hair“what's the job”“we are going to be sales girls in a magazine shop! Gosh!”“magazine shop? Is t

    MariGold“you know, Wilbur told me that you weren't a fan of entertainment and fashion and all these celebrity stuff so I didn't think you'd know me” she added with the bright smile“I... I have a... A friend who's really crazy about celeb... Celebrities” I stammered. I was nervous because I felt like an ant in front of a giant. I felt like nothing. From the look of her she's high bargain, not my category of people I could talk with.“here are your magazines” I stated and forwarded them towards her. She took them and exhaled“are you in a hurry to go back? I really need to speak with you” she said“about... about what ma'am?”She chuckled and dropped the mags“you really have to be free with me. I'm in your age group. Just two years older I think. You don't have to call me ma'am” s

    MariGold“hi” I said amongst tussled breath. I'm so nervous, so nervous.His eyes held surprise as he looked down at my face then at my dress then back to my face“Gold” he mumbled and I smiled“I.. Well, I just.. came to say..” I stammered, not knowing what exactly to tell him about my reason for standing in front of his door by 9pm.‘‘come in”He held my hand and pulled me in then closed the door“wow” I muttered when my eyes caught sight of his living room. It's really large and beautiful. So luxurious“let me guess why you're here” he said and dropped the glass in his hand on the centre table“Winifred” he said and I laughed and clutched unto my purse“come, sit” he motioned to the cush

    I feebly knocked on the door and hoped Eliza was still around. Soon the door opened and she smiled at me“hey” I said with a smile“you have to tell me everything. Everything...” she said and drew me in then closed the door“so how did it go?” she asked“lovely. Take this... It's from Will” I said and stretched the paper bag to her“Wilbur? You met with him?”“yeah” I answered and straightened my hair“gosh it's barbecue” she whispered happily“let's go inside” I dragged her hand into my room“I'm so tired”“tell me everything” Eliza said and I smiled and sat down“okay.. Well at the restaurant, we were eating seafood...”***

    “she's my roommate” I answered and hugged myself because I was getting cold, from the open door“do you know how she fainted? Did she see you?” I asked and looked at him“yes she did, I even told her I was looking for you” he replied“no wonder” I mumbled. She definitely fainted seeing a top celebrity standing in front of her house door and asking her a question“are you going to leave her here or...”“of course I'm leaving her here. I'll just close the door” I cut in and sniffed. I closed the door and turned to him“so what are you doing here?” I asked“I thought I'd see you. Know how you're doing” he answered“well, I'm... I'm fine” I simply replied“you're sure? You don't look so go

    Wilbur"OH my God I can't believe this” she said as her arms wrapped around me. It's been awhile I had this type of encounter. I haven't really met up with fans for years, it's either I'm in my tinted car where they can't see me or I'm in a place they can't reach me“you're going to drain the air out of him Eliza” I heard Marigold's voice say. I looked up and she was standing there with her hands crossed“uhmm... Can I... Come in first?” I asked the hugging girl. She began to move backwards and I moved along until we both were inside and I shut the door with my free hand“Eliza, stop the hugging already” Goldie said as she walked towards us. She pulled her friend away from me and I released my breathe and exhaled“I'm so sorry, just that I'm so obsessed about you!” she squealed and in less than a second, she was hugging me aga

    No, I don't want Eliza to come with us. It's not because I don't want her company but I just want to be alone with Mari.“no no. You two go have fun. I have to cook for you. So I'll be here when you come back, just buy some snacks for me” Eliza said and my heart leaped for joy. Thank God“are you sure?” Mari asked“yeah, super duper sure”“all right then. I'll go home and change then come back for you, okay?” I said to Mari and she nodded.“I'll go now” I said“I'll see you to the car” she declared and I nodded.We walked out of the room and luckily, no Simona in sight. We came out of the house and the neighborhood was empty.“how is Wini?” she asked“she's fine. I received her call earlier”“and how's that your best friend. Edward right?”

    MariOne week to their birthday I fell ill. Eliza thought it was as a result of the stress or trauma we had gone through two months ago but it wasn't. I knew exactly why I felt down. It had to do with my heart. It was empty and it wanted it's owner back.I got off from the bed where I was just resting and I walked to my drawer. I pulled open the third one and lifted some papers up. I saw it. The purple envelope with white flowers on it. Marigolds.I smiled and pulled it out then closed the drawer. I sat on the floor and crossed my legs then ran my thumb on the envelope“it's next week” I said to myself and smiledI hugged the envelope and laid down on the floor. The floor was cold, so not good for me but I didn't care. The thought that Will wanted me back made me feel warm.Eliza came into the room two minutes later and gasped when

    Will“help! Somebody please help!” Mari cried as she held unto Fred. I could only look on and couldn't do anything. Eliza was still unconscious and I was drifting away slowly.My eyes were closing and my ears kept hearing Mari's cries. I tried to stay conscious but I couldn't fight it*I woke up in a bed. As usual I felt heavy and weak at the same timeI sat up and slowly ran my fingers through my hair. I've been through a lot this past week and I don't think I would be able to get the memories off me.I can't believe Eduardo didn't die. That psychopath! He was behind this all along. I shouldn't think this way but I'm glad I saw him die real this time. At least I'll be sure he won't come back.I sighed when I remembered how Mari clung to Fred's body and cried. I was hurt. She didn't even care for me the way she did for him. Does that really mean she loves h

    Fred 🍁I tried my very best to act cool despite his cold glare. If he had found out then I'm in trouble. I should have hired someone to do that job for me but I couldn't trust anyone but myself. I just hope my little cover up worked“you... It's you” he said and I scoffed“me? Can you stop kidding and tell me who it is?” I asked“I just told you. It's Yu. The Chinese American who went off duty yesterday” he said and looked at the girls. I heaved a sigh, he didn't hear it though. My cover up had worked. I paid him off and told him to run away to a faraway country and fake a new identity. I had actually threatened him with all his crimes. He was my fish bait.“have you gotten him?” I asked“no. We only pointed him out as the one who helped them. He was seen in Manila the night our men raided their house b

    Will 🍁🍁I woke up when I felt someone touching my hands. I opened my eyes and saw a man untying me. He looked really familiar. I didn't make any move nor sound till he untied my hands l. He proceeded to untie my legs then he looked up at me. He gasped a little as his eyes met with mine.“you look... awfully familiar” I muttered under my breath“don't talk” he whispered. He took my hand and placed it over his shoulder then placed his other hand behind me“let's get you up” he said and pulled me up gently“where are you taking me?” I asked“I said don't talk” he replied and began to walk with me. We kept walking quietly through the darkness of a hallway outside the room.We finally got outside in the cold and dark night. There was a car standing close-by with two men carr

    Will 🍁After the party I went straight to my car to drive home and rest my head. I sat in and closed the door when a gun slowly pointed to my head“don't look back” the masculine voice said“how did you—”“—don't ask questions either” the voice warnedI exhaled and sat still“drive and follow the GPS” he said and I slowly started the car. The GPS turned on and I sighed again. How did he even get into the car talk more of setting the GPS?I began to drive, following the GPS with the gun firmly resting against my head. I would have tried those skills in action movies where they grab guns but I couldn't for two reasons, first this is reality and second, I'm a romance actor not Vin Diesel.I kept driving till we got out of Manila. I was scared, I tried to do something to help myself but I knew t

    Mari 🍁I was no longer comfortable. I felt suddenly hot and thirty“are you okay? You look tense all of a sudden” Fred asked and I laughed“I'm fine. Come on focus, the bride and groom are about to kiss” I said with a fake smile. He stared at me as if he didn't believe me before looking forward. I didn't expect him to believe me though, I was terrible at pretending and besides, my face looked sad already.The couple kissed and turned to look at us. Everyone stood up to clap and cheer except me, I was absentminded“Mari” Fred whispered“uhh? Oh oh. I'm sorry” I quickly said as I was standing up. They walked through the aisle amidst the cheers and the guests started walking out too, heading for the wedding party“isn't my cousin beautiful?” he asked“very. Very beauti

    Mari🍁I woke up in a hospital with eyes so dull and heavy I almost decided not to open them. I saw a girl sleeping with her head resting on a table close to the wall. At first I didn't recognize her but I later realized it was Eliza.“Eliz... Eliza... Eliza” I called weakly. I moved my hand from my stomach to the bed“Eliza” I called again while hitting my hand gently on the bed. She stirred a little“Wake up Elizabeth” I said and she yawned and sat up“Eliza”She opened her eyes and stayed at me without recognition. She was still turning on her system.I stared at her and waited for her to resume. Few seconds later she gasped“Mari! Oh my God! My honey pie” she cooed and got up from the chair immediately. She ran to me and hugged me gently

    Wilbur I smiled as I watched Mari open a candy and put it in her mouth. She must be waiting for someone because she leaned over on her car and crossed her arms. I could see her face clearly and I couldn't help but smile at her face. She's so beautiful. “I miss you” I muttered and brought out my phone. I took pictures of her through my windscreen. I began to look through them and when I lifted my face, I saw that she had already stood straight and was looking towards the bank. A man was walking out and he walked straight to her and held her hand. I didn't hear what they were saying but with their expressions she was upset and he was apologizing. Who is he? I don't remember Mari having male friends or relations. I watched as she took whatever was in his hand and entered her car. She drove away leaving the guy who now stood akimbo. He shook his head and called a taxi which took him away

    WillI stood outside, leaning on my car and watched as Mari walked out. The light from the restaurant was reflecting on her tears and I palmed my face. I can't believe I had to do that.She entered her car and didn't drive out immediately. She spent close to ten minutes in there and if my guess is correct, she was crying her eyes sore. I felt like running to her car and pulling her out, then tell her it was all a silly prank.“nice job. Now go home” a voice I recognize as Derulo said behind me. I scoffed and turned to look at him standing with three other men“what are you? Demon?” I asked and he laughed“I wish” he said and brought out his hands from his pocket“I've done what you said I should do, now I hope you stay away from her.” I said“you know we don't fail promises.
