The ride on the plane was neither pleasant nor unpleasant as I had slept most of the time. I'd been able to recover some strength while I was asleep because I felt a lot lighter. Guilt towards Mrs Martinez had washed away with the tears and I'm glad she had found out the way she did. Although I didn't expect her forgiveness at all I was more than happy that she had chosen to forgive me. Now I only have my best friend to confess to, but I can't do it now, not when her happiness is also at stake. Carl was like that to only me, which means it was my fault, but if I started the story about her dad, I'd have to involve carl and even Charles and as slutty as that made me for sleeping with all the men around us, i was ready to accept her hate because I deserved it. However, according to Mrs Martinez, I was worth a lot and not anymore would I look down on myself or let any guy or lady in fact try to take advantage of me. As soon as I arrived at the airport and contacted my manager, I rem
"It's such a weird name anyways, I wonder why she bothers to bear it, but you're so beautiful, do you mind telling me your name?" He asked, but I had never been disgusted by someone on our first meeting. His energy was not contagious and if anything, it made me want to gag, and now, there is his lack of respect towards his partner and now there is this. Disrespect at the highest level. Cheating or trying to flirt with someone else when you have a partner that is loyal to you disgusts me and that's why Tina's mom became my enemy. At least until everything else happened. But I've known Kitty for so long and I know that she would never cheat which makes him the bad guy here. He doesn't respect her wishes and now he's flirting with her boss. "Move away, you're making me uncomfortable," I told him but he continued getting close while I moved until I was sitting at the edge of the bench. Okay that's it. I was about to get up to avoid him and join Kitty in the restroom when he sudden
"What's going on?" I screamed as I ran into the kitchen with a fire extinguisher I hijacked from the wall. I was more than ready to attack the intruder but upon entering the kitchen, I realised that the windows were closed and nothing asides from the plate rank was out of place. Maybe it was a ghost then. "A cockroach, there's a cockroach I'm the house," she continued screaming as tears were streaming down her face. "Where?" I shouted as her sudden announcement shook my settling composure. "There, it's beside the pink glass cup," she was literally crying on top of her voice as she she pointed towards the counter. I walked towards it and found the pea sized cockroach. It was dead and didn't look like it had lived more than a day. "It's so tiny though," I observed, "but it's dead," I looked at her with confusion. Her actions seemed exaggerated,but I knew better than to tell that to an emotional woman. "Okay okay, I'll take it out, you'll feel better then, right?" "I hate cockro
Stella's POV"How dare you try to move my things? I paid for this house!" "Man, how many times do I have to tell you lot that the rent is monthly and if you don't pay a day before your monthly rent ends, I'll throw your stuff out!" An older and more frustrated voice countered. "I should go in and explain things," kitty said as she took a few steps forward, towards her apartment building, but I help her wrist to stop her. "No," I shook my head, "you should let them have their argument before going it. it would be really tough to exchange words with those guys like that," I said and she nodded. For the ten minutes that we've parked in front of her apartment building, we were waiting with hopes that they would stop exchanging words so we could go in. But their voices got higher each time one of them said something to offend the other and like that, we've been sighing in frustration. "I can't believe we still got here late after leaving the house an hour and a half ago," kitty sigh
"How do you feel?" I ask Kitty after we've succeeded in packing her things out and moving back to my place. "Yes, thank you but I need a drink." She said and I nodded. "Makes sense." "I know a club around." "Ahh, I don't think so, I said as I sat back down. I wasn't about to meet someone who would mess up my life again. "Why not, your virginity is at stake?" She teased as she bounced beside me on the couch. If only she knew. I turned to her with a small smile and tried to imagine her reaction if I told her the truth, but the mere thought of it made me feel traumatized. "Not anymore," I chuckled, "my mental health is at risk." "You sound like you have experience, plus what happened to your dear old virginity?" "Gone with the wind," I said and we both laughed. It made me glad that she want trying to push me for more answers. "Took you long enough." "But Tina always had alcohol lying around in the cellar and some even stacked under the bed in her room." "Perfect, I'll
Stella's POV"Today's such a good day to bask in the sun and enjoy some soft drinks," I said with a yawn as I picked up a scarf and headed towards the villa's pool. "Ahh, I don't think so, you really need to get dressed." "But I really want to go for a swim," I whined. "I bet you had more than enough of that during the break," kitty replied as she pulled me back into mthe house and I succumbed because I didn't want to explain that I'd fucked, gotten on trouble and literally ran back to work because it was the real break I needed. "Fine," but where are we going to anyways?" I asked as she picked my dress. "You'll know when you get there," she said and I sighed. "what's the use of being secretive, it's not like you're taking me on a date," I pouted and folded my hands. "Don't be such a baby and save all that strength for later. I hope you're okay with us taking Uber by the way." she said and I turned to face her with a frown. "I'm confused, didn't we just service all the cars? i

"She's awake" the voice said, he wa
Stella's POV"Finally, you're awake," the voice that taunted my dreams and turned them into nightmares from my guilt and desires said and I nodded. "Yes and I've missed you," I gulped. This was a dream, so I might as well rant and let all the stress go. My body ached when I tried to move and my eyelashes remained heavy, so I stayed still. "Really? I thought you hated me, I'd have come sooner if I knew," he said and I nodded. "I know I have that impression, but I just felt," I paused as a sudden brightness flashed in my eyes as it made me squint, despite the fact that they were closed. "Keep her talking if you can, we have to make sure she's conscious before we go through with this test," I heard an unfamiliar voice and I frowned. This was the first time we were having a third party in our discussion, so I paused. Was someone trying to eavesdrop on our conversation even in my dream? "How rude!" It angered me. "What do you mean, Stella?" his voice came to my hearing again, confu
