It breaks my heart to see her when we ain't talking. Each time, I want to talk to her, apologize, but I'm being held back by my ego.
I miss her. I miss everything about her. From the way she talks, eat, laughs, frowns - oh shit, I'm in love with Karen. Definitely.
I pick up my phone and dial my bestfriend number. She picks up immediately, her cheerily voice filling my phone. On a normal day I would have been so excited to hear her voice, but here I am, frowning and eager to say whatever I wanted to say to her.
"I can't believe you're calling me. It's been months Peter." She complains.
I shrug, "I'm sorry, Maya, I miss you." I miss my best friend. She's always been there for me but I'm not always there for her. I suck.
"I miss you too. I just came in from Las Vegas. Do you want to hang out?"
Definitely. "Yes. I actually have something to say to you. I'm a wreck Maya."
"Aww, let's meet at my p

She doesn't look like she regrets whatever is happening.I'm irritated by her. Her lover looks scared and worried. He's my mum's staff at her Boutique. She stoop so low. It ain't my uncle anymore, but her staff."Who are you and what the hell are you doing in bed with my mother?" I question, anger boiling in me."I- I- I wor- work at the Boutique as a cleaner." He stutters, trying to hide his naked body under the blanket. Something tells me my mother forced him into bed with her.I hear my mother growl. She looks unbothered. She looks like she wanted me to leave so she can go on with whatever she was doing."Leave." I say to the boy who hurries to stand up but is stopped by my mother."I brought him here Peter.

Karen DonnaAfter I clear up everything I'm doing, I make my way out of the office. Elizabeth already volunteered to take me home so we can get dressed for the club.She had persuaded me to follow both her and Alex to the club. I wanted to decline but she wasn't having any of it."We'll pick up a nice dress for you at the thrift store." Elizabeth say as she drives info the road leading to the thrift store. I only nod at her and reach for my phone. I decide to text Mike about Elizabeth idea of taking me to the club. His reply comes in quickly. He's asking me not to go. Awkward. I turn to Elizabeth who is focused on the road. She stops the car when the traffic light shows red."My boyfriend asked me to stay back." I say like a child who's mother had just yelled at for doing something wrong. I can see the anger in Elizabeth's face."You're gonna let him tell you what to do because you guys are dating? That's stupid girl. You'

Karen DonnaThe excitement in me is enough to burst my heart into two. Two whole weeks to spend with my family! That's really amazing. Maybe it wasn't really a bad idea working with Peter. I have to thank him and apologize to him, especially for the slap I gave to him.I roll out my mini box to the sitting room to find Peter sitting on one of the couches. He followed me over to drop me at the airport. To say, I am glad. It's an opportunity to apologise to him. He really did not deserve the slap.Our eyes meets. I smile at him. He ignores it. My heart breaks."Are you ready?" He asks, dipping his hands into his pocket. He stands up from his chair.I nod my head, already feeling bad for treating him wrongly. He begins to go out but I stop him. "Can I talk to you, please?" I request. He nods after few seconds of unspoken words."Sure."I clear my throat. I'm wishing he'll accept my apologies. I've been dis

Karen DonnaI ring the doorbell continuously, waiting for Jane to show up. She doesn't instead it's her mum that opens the door. She is all full with smiles when she sees me."Is Jane in?" I ask after pleasantries and fake smiles.She shakes her head. "No. She was home few minutes ago but left even before I could fix her dinner."I sigh. I really wanted to punch her in the guts for misleading my brother. Maybe she doesn't deserve it, maybe I should've talked to Ralph instead. "Okay, tell her I came over." I say with a smile and leaves even before she can say a word.I sigh, as I walk home. I kick little rocks on the floor as I walk. Did I overreact? Maybe I was angry because Jane haven't been the best friend I expected her to be these past weeks. She's been acting off. She never reply my text or pick up my calls anymore. She makes me feel like I don't have a best friend which I care about so much. Funny how she never wante

Mike, He might be with her and starts suspecting I'm hitting on his girlfriend.I hate this new feeling. I have just gotten back from the police station.

Karen DonnaI got a call from Mike to meet him up at our favorite cafe. I can't help the excitement anymore. Even though I was mad at him last night, I can't wait to jump into his awaiting arms that I've been longing to touch me at every inch of my body. I crave his touches, his kisses, his sex. I crave everything about him. Truthfully, I hated how things turned out last night. I felt I overreacted, but I deserved a warm welcoming from my boyfriend.I push last night's thought out of my head and make my way to the bathroom. I wash my hair with warm water and shampoo. I wash my body, making sure to scrub away the smell of coffee that still lingered on my bare skin. I wrap myself up in a towel and walk out of the bathroom. After applying lotion to my skin, I pull into a pink cropped hoodie and a denim trouser. I wear air Jordans to match with my outfit. Damn, I look good. After applying so many products to give my hair a good look, I style it. I part

I haven't told her of my mood yet. She notices I'm not okay, but don't ask yet.I look at my nails which I have been bitting ever since. They look rough, dirty and scattered. I sigh.I am contemplating how to start telling her of my break up with Mike. It squeezes my heart each time I think of it."Do you want to talk about it?" She ask, settling beside me. I nod. Tears begins to blind my eyes again. All the memories keeps flashing in my head, all over again. "Are you okay? You're crying."

I'm beginning to feel like my old jobless self again, staying home doing nothing.I make my way to the kitchen for lunch. The kitchen looks a bit empty and scattered. I sigh. I begin to clean and wash the dishes. I take the trash outside after I'm done and proceed to go to the grocery store to stock the house.I pull into a red tank top and a white flare skirt. I pack my hair into a messy bun, apply lipgloss and leaves the house. It's chilly outside. I brace myself and walk to the grocery store.My phone rings before I could grab the cart. It's mum. I pick up immediately."Hey mum. I'm good. Is Ralph okay? How's Lisa? Tell them I miss them. Okay. I'm good now, I just need sometime. Okay mum, I love you."
