Mari Kristine

Fae followed me from behind after I walked out of the mall. I even heard the slap she made as I walked out to Alex, this girl is really a bitch. As always.

“Mari! Wait for me you fast pace mover! Hey!” She yelled just like a kid who is following and pleading with her mom not to leave her alone at the kindergarten.

I stopped my track after I got out of the mall. She hurried towards me and smacked my shoulders. She always has that much strength whenever she slams her hands.

“Ouch! Fae, stop it.” I screamed. Heck, it’s so painful for all you know. This woman!

“I did not believe my own eyes just now, Mari. I mean you… you just did it great, wow! Do you know how savage you were a while ago?” She praised me.

“With just that small thing and you are now acting like you have won the lottery?” I asked her with disbelief. She is unbelievable, okay?

“But who knows you will act like that? You gave Alex a bit of hope and then you dumped him just like he is nothing but garbage to you anymore.” She answered my question. Oh gosh, I will cut your tongue!

My face stared at her blankly and just stood in my position unmoved and quiet. I did not even spit out a word that can totally break my guards down. I wanted to strengthen my defense.

“Oh… sorry. I should have just shut my mouth.” She awkwardly mumbled when she understood what I wanted.

Just as she was about to open her dear mouth again, her phone rang. She picked it up and made a bigger space  between us. She was intently listening to the person on the other line while she was frowning. 

“Uhm… Mari.” She called me in a low tone and sadly expressed her feeling sorry. “I am really sorry.” She smiled awkwardly. 

I suspected that there was something wrong again. “What’s going on? Just tell me.” I asked her. 

“Mari, I am really sorry for your ruined love life. If Alex is not only a jerk, I suppose that you two can still be together and have the chance together.” She fired, making me confused.

“Look… I do not need those kinds of men, Fae. He is not the man I want to spend my life with. I do not want anything else especially if I will only waste my time.” I explained to her too.

“What I mean is, I am sorry because I can’t comfort you right now nor hang out with you and help you avoid those things you have in mind. I am facing a big problem right now and I need to solve it quickly. Or else, I will be fired by the boss.” She muttered, giving me a pleading look to let her go.

“Then you must go and report now. Not giving me further explanation for you getting absent on your friend’s gloomy day.” I replied to her with irritation.

“Thanks Mari! I will surely catch up with you the next day and hang with you on the other one. Sorry for the trouble again. I promise to compromise.” She sincerely apologized.

“I better forgive you than forgive Alex, Fae.” I laughed awkwardly which made her pout. How cute!

“Then bye for now. See you when I see you, Mari!” She walked away quickly before she ran to the parking lot and hopped in her car.

I shook my head. Rich people always want to be with their kind. These elites are always like that. I once hoped to join them but no. Surely, I will never want to try diving into their circle again.

I walked outside and saw a nearby park. The park today has many more visitors than usual. I looked at the crowd flocking over and saw someone filming. Oh! So there’s someone famous there. I wonder who that big personality is.

I passed the park and sat on the brick pavement. I am confused right now about what to feel because things turned out so bad. Maybe crying is better than this feeling I have right now: emptiness.

I don’t even know when things started this way that even if I wanted to ask Alex, well it feels like I just have to move on from it. Maybe when he tells me that they have been seeing each other for months now, I will break down in front of them.

Staring at the busy street, I was reminded how happy we have been. I burst into tears knowing that it will never happen again. My vision is blurry and my head hurts a lot.

Someone approached me. I looked at the man standing beside me, he’s somewhat familiar. His tall figure and bright smile showing his pair of dimples made him look gorgeous, girls would definitely pull their chances up to climb in his bed.

But who the fuck would care who he is or what is he up to. He’s up to no good for me, I am certain of that! Right. Definitely he’s up to no good especially right now that he is actually disturbing me from crying my heart out. Bastard!

“Miss Rossier.” The man said casually as he was smiling from ear to ear.

“Have we met before?” I asked, wondering how he’d known how to address me. Seriously, who the hell is this guy?

“Of course, Miss Rossier!” He exclaimed, responding to my question without any further explanation.

“What the?” I blurted out, unaware of who the heck this guy was.

If he’s one of those guys out there pulling up pranks with every person they happen to meet while messing up, then this doesn’t count. I’m out!

“You don’t remember me anymore? Really?” He asked while displaying a face with disbelief and a little bit of a sarcastic tone. Do I really look like I’m joking?

“Seriously, dude. Would I ever ask if I know who the hell you are?” I replied irritated.

This doesn’t help at all. I’ve driven all the way here just to get disturb by this man. I thought this place would be better to rant about my problems. Turns out I will happen to meet some random guy who does not know the word privacy huh?

“Lamier. Remember that surname?” He asked me again. This isn’t a guessing game for Pete’s sake!

“I remember one of those dudes back then having the same surname as the one you’ve just told me. He is an arrogant football player who for the record was an amazing womanizer.” I casually answered without any hesitation on bashing the most hateful guy I am pissed with.

Well that’s some sort of a matter of fact. Dos Lamier is a well-known football motherfucker whom the girls treated like a celebrity back when I was in high school.

He looked a bit stunned. Then he raised his left brow while he began acting out like he’s getting some damn heartache. He even put his hands on his left chest and clutched it. What the hell?

“You sound like I’m a playboy, Miss Rossier. That hurts big time. Can you at least give me another description other than me being a womanizer?” He demanded.

Oh… so this guy really is Dos Lamier. Cool.

“I don’t have time to chat with you, Dos. If you want someone to give you compliments, go to hell!” I yelled at him before pushing one of his legs.

“I wasn’t here to disturb you bitch! Your arrogance has gotten into my nerves. Get up there and stop being a crybaby!” He shouted back at me, pissed.

“Crybaby my ass! Shut up, will you? What brings you here?” Irritated, I got up and faced him. He’s tall. But his knitted brows irritates me.

Without giving a word, he grabbed me by the arm and dragged me all the way to the mall and dragged me inside again. So, what now?

    DosMy dad is such a handful. He always drags me to his schemes and plans for my own sake beforehand. His plans are sometimes difficult for me to handle. Just like this one.“Sir, you should go back to your initial position and give us your best smile.” One of my father’s subordinates asked me.“Let me rest for a bit. This is not something charitable if you are going to push me to my limits. Please?” I asked him.“Okay, Sir. Fifteen minutes.” He briefly replied to me before turning his back.Just some seconds later, someone approached me. “Sir, we should go on with the photoshoot. It will be hot soon, the children still want to play.” He argued, sighing when I looked at him irritated.“Then just let those kids from the orphanage enjoy themselves. No need for me to document with them their play time. It’s just nonsense.” I refused to take photo shoots for the kids.“But Sir, we are instructed by your father to do so. We need to shoot at least three to five more.” One of the cameramen b

    Mari KristineI am staring at the two movie tickets wondering what happened when Dos arrived. He is wearing a wide smile. As we both looked at the movie tickets, he winked at me.What a flirt!Behind him are two of the theater staff – one is holding a key while the other is holding one double order of popcorn and two soda cans for drink. Oh! So, he is really serious about watching a movie with me.I awkwardly smiled at him. You know what? I didn’t expect him to be so cheesy just now. He was recently listed as one of the young bachelors. I was there too when the Lamiers threw a celebration party for him.“You look like you don’t believe your eyes, Miss Rossier.” He teased in his deep husky voice.I never have heard that voice of his. Is it possible that his voice can be like that? I think I am spacing out just by listening to it.I only looked at him when he smirked, “Seems like you really do. Funny how you are spacing out.”I heard him laugh. But I was so embarrassed that I needed to

    DosMy father’s bodyguard waited outside. I am certain that the old man was already inside, waiting for me. I parked my car when I noticed the guard mumbling something while holding a little microphone. What is he planning to do again?“You came from the south. The bodyguard said that you sped off the car and headed south before you finally got home.” My father stated as he looked at me smiling from ear to ear.“What does it have to do with you? As if you care about my errands.” I asked him sarcastically.“Of course! I want to have a grandkid now. You should find someone to marry as soon as possible. I have found out that your good for nothing brat is cheating on you.” He merely laughed with the idea of Ashley cheating on me.“Why are you so happy about that? You pressure your sons to give you grandkids but you don’t like Ashley. Well, I don’t care anyway.” I asked my father as he stood up suiting himself.“The guards said you were with a girl and drove her into her small apartment. J

    Mari KristineToday is a bit exhausting. I should have hung out with Fae if it weren’t for the fact that my manager gave me a pile of paperwork. He said to us that everything is under control but then he turned into a monster overnight. He did not even considered our break time and urged our time to rush those papers.I straightened my back and stretched out my hands. I need a good weekend break after this. Someone approached me with a cup of coffee and smiled.“You look so haggard, dear. There are way too many papers left, hope you don’t give up or else each of us won’t get paid at the end of the month.” My colleagues laughed at her words.“Yeah, I hope to finish all of this by dusk. I need to straighten my back tonight.” I stated as I looked around.“We all deserve a good rest tonight. I can’t afford to lose my job. I still need to pay for my family’s expenses.” The person who gave me the cup of coffee said before she went back to her seat.“Same here, Rissa! I had an insane night

    Mari Kristine We have traveled all over the city just to find a place to stay for tonight. Unluckily, all of the apartments are occupied. The same with hotels and other inns. This is ridiculous! I have suggested to Dos that he must bring me back to the apartment so I can ask the landlord to stay there. But he always declines my suggestion. He implies that if we go back there, the landlord would pester me again. Not just that. Dos said that he already picked me up so he must find a good place for me to sleep. He was fuming mad when the hotels owned by him were all full. He said that he was so confident since he owns many hotels here in our city. Thus, Dos, he’s a bit embarrassed about bringing me trouble. But, no. I was the one who caused him trouble. He paid for my rent and got me out of trouble. Now, he’s helping me look for a place to sleep. I can just sleep in his car if he allows me so I will not bother him anymore. I looked at his gloomy face as he sat on the driver’s seat of

Her hands are tightly gripping me.Alex looked at me with his eyes pleading. “L-Let me explain f-first, please?” He stammered.I just stared at him without any expression on my face. I don’t feel any. I should be shocked, I should have been hurt, and I… I should have cried. But no, I don’t feel anything.Fae shook her head before she stated, “You can explain now. But I don’t think you really can.” Fae glared at him angrily without giving Alex any chance of getting comforted.“Let…” He paused and looked around. “Let us talk somewhere outside. Not here, but privately. Please, Mari?” He asked.I frowned at him asking to save his face from embarrassment but destroyed mine. I replied to him without any hesitation, “No.” Fae smirked after hearing my response.“So much for the drama. You asked for this, Alex. You two with your good for nothing other woman asked for this.
