Emerald
After a long day at work and school, I was back home to this empty house that didn't have Mimi or anyone to keep me in company. Then Mimi’s advice about Devin crossed my mind making me smile. Perhaps taking it won't be so much of a bad idea.
JamesEvery time I saw Emerald again, it was like the universe was reminding of how much of an ass I was to her.
EmeraldImmediately the taxi stopped at my apartment building, I wasted no time getting out. James rushed to my side of the car but I was already starting inside.
Emerald Pursing my lips, I brought my phone out of my apron to check if Devin had returned any of my texts. I wanted to see him so I apologized about not texting him back and asked to meet up later after work hours. He was still yet to give me a reply and I silently hoped he wasn't trying to get payback.
EmeraldAfter taking some time to myself to breathe and analyze the situation, I came out of the restroom to meet Sandra leaning on the wall with her hand on her waist.
EmeraldI should have trusted Mimi to handle the situation as she had ordered dougnuts to I don't know whether to say sob with me or celebrate losing my job.
James Getting off the phone with Emerald, I felt a sudden kind of unsettlness in my heart. Something was obviously wrong that she couldn't tell me about and I wanted to get to the bottom of it. Immediately I was done with my extra classes, I went home to freshen up.
Emerald I still couldn't believe he had come all the way to see how I was doing, even though my reaction didn't show it to him, I appreciated him. Getting back into the apartment and heaving a sigh, my emotions started to fall in check and I decided to text him goodnight before going to bed. Obviously, Ken wouldn't like the news so I kept it away from her, smiling at her and conversing, meanwhile my head was some place else thinking of someone else.
Emerald I reduced the volume of the radio playing Breakfast at Tiffany's when it wasn't even fall to talk about December.
