Criminally in love

CHAPTER ONEI walked into the café, the cold coming from the air- conditioner; hit my skin making me shiver. The popular café. There is never a time you will not see at least eight people in the café. My eyes searching the place, finally landing on my boyfriend, Mike, he is on his phone typing away, with a cup of coffee on his table.      I walked to him, pull out a chair and sit down. He looks up, his gray eyes land on me, a smile find it way to his lips,       Hey baby, he smiles, taking my hand into his,       I blush shyly “hey”He looks stunned for a while, his eyes never leaving my face. “You look beautiful today.  What is the secret?”  He teases. He brings his face closer, placing a kiss on my lips that is covered in lip gloss.       “No secret I’m just happy seeing you” I s

CHAPTER THREEKaren DonnaWe land in New York, finally.Mike and I board taxi to the house he bought in New York sometime ago. I really want to ask him why he doesn’t live at New York, but I remember his work at our town, Oak HillHe is a lawyer, one I am proud of everyday.We reach the house, and a petite girl came out to help us carry our bags.“This is Annie, my cousin,” Mike says, wrapping his arms on my waist, snuggling me closer to him. He places a kiss on my cheeks.I waves awkwardly at his cousin, who stand there with a smile on her face. “I’m Karen Donna.”She smiles, pulling me into a hug, and away from Mike. He scowls at her. “It’s so nice to finally meet the girl that makes my cousin go crazy.” She laughs, playfully hitting Mike hand.“At least someone beautiful stole his heart.” She added, glancing at Mike. A part of me tells me she is talking about his exes.I watch them banter, feeling quite unconsciously. At least they are a happy family

Chapter fiveKaren Donna "I got it!" I squeal in happiness, watching mum and Ralph scream."I m proud of you baby," mum's teary voice says, making me smile till my cheeks hurts."Thanks mum, I love you.""Is Mike coming home today?"Ralph asked, sipping a liquid from his favorite cup. "Yea. He's preparing to." Sadness fills me again as I know he will be leaving me alone here. Even though he introduced me to Annie, I still want someone I know so we'll close by. Ralph grins. "Good news for me, sad news for you." I roll my eyes, almost tripping on my heelsI dumped on the floor. "I better get going now. I'm sure he's packed up already."They blow kisses, and hung up. I pack my loose hair into a bun, and walks to the living room to find Mike ready. He is on his phone, typing away, as usual.     He looks up the moment he sees me, tuckling his phone into his pocket."I'll miss you so much baby doll."Hur

Peter Wellington I stare at her as she nods her head to all my questions. She is tired but I didn’t excuse her. We still have a lot of work to do, and letting her leave will delay the paperwork I have to summit early tomorrow morning.She hit her head on the table. She winced in pain, rubbing her forehead. I stifle a laughter that is trying to escape my throat.“Can I please sleep for some minutes?” she begs, giving me the puppy dog eyes. I snort not moved. I am not her boyfriend who will agree to anything she says immediately she gives him that look “No!” I say sharply. “This is a huge deal, so we have to finish this now or never.” She nods. And continue typing the content of the papers on her laptop.Pity her for a second, but it all washes away immediately.Business is business. No time to play around.                                         

Peter WellingtonI fix my tie one more time, almost choking myself with it. I gasp for breath, releasing it angrily.I bite my lips till I taste blood. I am frustrated, my blood is boiling from anger.Staying for hours with my cheating mum is enough to kill me. I have to not do anything stupid because of my sick father. I can't watch him die.I strip out of my tuxedo for a more comfortable clothe. It's just a dinner, everything is wack now.I walk to my car, my phone rings. I ignore it, and pull out of my driveway.Pulling into my parents house, I take in a deep breath. My hands are shaking, but I ignore it and make my way into the house.The delicious smell of Italian food fills my nostrils. Our family dinner is one filled with food which we end up not eating it all. Every dinner we try new food. A tiny hand tucked at my leg. I look down to find my cousins baby grinning at me. Normally, I will run around with her, but I
