2024-10-29 19:42:56Few minutes later, I had barely just finished brushing my hair and smearing lip gloss on my lips when Emma came in.
"Ooh! Someone looks pretty." She teased. I suddenly felt stupid. Why did I take Antonio's advice and dress up for Jason? He's definitely crazy if he thinks I can date my cousin and I'm more crazy to actually patronize him."Going somewhere? Because you have a visitor downstairs and he's so cute! Are you two going out? Is he your...""Cousin!" I shrieked. What the fudge is going on around here anyway?!"He's my cousin.""Aww, too bad. You two would have made a nice couple." Emma said almost sadly."Emma?!""I'm just saying." She laughed. "He's waiting for you though.""Okay, I'm heading down now." I took one last look at myself in the mirror before leaving my room to go find Jason downstairs. I forgot to ask Emma where he was and goodness knows I still don't know my way around the house yet."Claire!" That was Jacey; running up to me with a biRelated chapters

"Did you forget you told me you were going to bring SM to the green house?" I shuddered. I just heard Jacey's voice in my head! What the actual crap?"If he leaves without seeing me first, I'm going to scream in your head non-stop!" What the..."Urh, Ja...Jason!" I grabbed his hand as he stood up to leave. "Maybe you should stay a few more minutes, there's someone who'd like to meet you.""Who?""My cousin, Jacinta.""Urh, okay..." I looked around to find the green house. Jacey said the fountain was by the green house, that would mean that the glass building with lots of plants in it was the green house. And here I was thinking it was a house painted green."How dumb!" Jacey said in my head."Shut up!" I mumbled."What was that?""Heh, nothing." I smiled awkwardly at Jason and let him to the green house. It was mostly plants and flowers but Jacey made a space for herself in the rose section; she had a little table covered with a dark quil

Matt It's two days before Lucy's divorce. She's been acting all calm about it but I don't need to be a psychic to know just how she feels, especially now she's had a big fight with Antonio and he's leaving her after the divorce is final.I don't know what caused the fight but it's the first time in all of Antonio's fourteen years he's angry with his mother. If it was Jacey, then I'd understand because she was more of the hotheaded one like her jerk of a Dad. Antonio has always been mindful of his temper and his words too; if he'd ever get upset, he would just walk away and after some time, he's back to his usual self.Maybe the divorce was getting him stressed out or maybe he'd just want his parents to remain together. I mean, who would want their parents divorced if they could help it? But I vote for them getting divorced;Thomas doesn't deserve my sister at all. He just wanted her for as long as it brought good publicity for him. Now that Ingrid is

"I just want you to make friends and have a normal teenhood. I'm just trying to look out for you.""My Dad abandoned me when I was ten, my mom then married a psychopath who abused us, four years later she is murdered by her husband, now my Dad is back again and I'm hearing that I might be a psychic! Please tell me, how I can have a 'normal teenhood'?!" I chose to stay mute; I mean, what could I say to that? She's already angry, there's no need to provoke her further."Do you like art?" I asked as a thought came to my mind. She glanced at me , then shrugged."Probably, I haven't seen much. I love photography and I sometimes wonder what my pictures would look like if I paint them instead." She loves photography? That's great, it was a favorite hobby for me as a kid."Photography is awesome! Would you want to learn more about it? Travel and take pictures? What kind of pictures do you take? Landscapes? P

I sat on a high stool and sulked as my eyes trailed after them. Richie gave her a blank canvas and a pallette, then he stood aside to watch her paint. She took a brush and dipped it in a paint, but I couldn't see what color it was as I sat away from them; just as she was about to make a stroke? Someone shrieked and rushed to hold Claire. "Oh my gosh! Archie, yo

Now, she suddenly decided to renovate it and let our old tradition return. I guess we'd be spending our holidays there again. "Hello Darling!" Mom said brightly, squeezing Claire with so much love. "You look tense, are you okay?" She asked as she broke the hug to look at Claire. "Yes, I'm okay." Claire replied, looking around at the workers. "What's going on here?" "I'm renovating the house, it's been ages anyone spent time here." Mom said in a faraway voice, then held Claire's shoulders. "I lost my dear husband and two months later, I heard I'll be having a grandchild. I guess it was Philip's way of consoling me. It's too bad I wasn't there while you grew up." "Why weren't you? I always asked Dad if we could come visit yo

As soon as I got out of Claire's room, I bumped into Lucy who was eavesdropping. She quickly stood straight and pressed her lips together, suppressing a laugh. "What are you...?" She shushed me and led me to my room. "You guys made up?! I'm so glad Matt!" She said excitedly as soon as we entered my room. I gave her a smirk and went into my walk-in closet, taking off my wet clothes and putting on dry clothes. "Everything is going so smoothly. Hopefully, Antonio will refuse to go with Thomas and I'll have my kids with me." Lucy was saying while I changed my clothes. I could feel her pain. I never wanted to divorce Doris because I didn't want to lose Claire, even if it meant I'd never be with the love of my life Abigail. "What do you think, Matt? Do you think Antonio would chan

The minutes blended into hours and Richie arrived with his family for dinner. Claire was already downstairs when I got there, talking excitedly to Nessa. When did that happen? And she was holding a bouquet of roses. I couldn't tell if Nessa gave them to her as a peace offering or if Archie gave them to her.Abigail was there too, chatting with Luciana and Margo, Richie's wife. Everyone was lost in a chat, even Jacinta was making eye contact with Antonio and I could tell they were communicating privately. Richie was holding his two years old daughter Eva, and he was arguing with Archie, just like always.No one noticed me.Anyway, I took my sit next to Richie and diverted his attention from his son. The food arrived and we all ate, still talking as we abandoned our table manners. It was then that I noticed James wasn't with us.&nbs

Claire I was furious and bitter and hurt and... and sad. He lied to me! Abigail lied to me too! I knew they couldn't be just friends, they're lovers. I knew the way they looked at each other was off! Couldn't they at least wait until my Mom's buried? "I hate them both!" I pushed down all the books on my library in anger. How could he do this to me? Is Abigail the reason he left us? So he could be with her? Did he and Mom get divorced? Must be... I mean, Mom wouldn't remarry if they didn't get divorced, right? But doesn't he care about how I feel? Is Abigail more important to him than James and I? What if they are secretly married and he's just lying to me? "Then I'll never forgive him!" I said angrily to myself. I felt my nos

Getting Revenge I Love You Now
I was standing in the parking lot, away from the couple I was staring at. Jason... He was holding a brunette's hand... and that hand had a diamond ring on its ring finger.He was freaking engaged?!My heart pounded deeply in my chest. I was too late? But... he was my soulmate, right? Wrong. Probably the same time I stopped believing in soulmates was the same time he seized being mine.He was smiling so fondly at the brunette and I couldn't see her face but I knew she had a big smile as well. "You have no right to be sad... You have no right to be sad..." I kept muttering to myself, over and over again as I worked up the courage to leave there."I don't believe it! It's Claire Wagner!" I stilled when I heard a lady shriek. Other students stopped to stare at me and a few began making their way towards me.I diverted my eyes back to Jason, he and his brunette were staring at me, he looked confused.I turned around and bolted for my car, driving out of the campus.

"Hey single lady, come home." I kept staring at my phone. What the actual hell? That jerk has been ignoring me for the past two years and just a few minutes after my boyfriend broke up with me, he sends a text?!I was furious and sad and relieved... God! I just wanted to hug my cousin so badly!Judy's call came in before I could reply to Antonio's text; she had been my personal assistant since I moved to Paris. Emma couldn't come with me because she wanted to be a full time Mom to Shelby and she did say she was getting married in a month to a guy she met.I didn't try getting close to Judy though, she just wasn't as free with me like Emma used to be, she just wanted our relationship to be professional and I didn't mind at all.Of course she wouldn't be calling if she knew I was on a date with Archie, but I didn't tell her and she probably thinks I've disappeared.I picked up."Hey, Judy.""Hello. Where are you?" See that? She's so uptight."I was originally on a date with Archie but I

"There's my girl!" Archie cheered, hugging me and kissing me firmly on my lips. "I'm sorry I couldn't make it to the award show but I'm proud of you nevertheless." I moved aside to let him into my apartment and he went straight for the glass plaque I had left earlier on the breakfast table."It looks great. Breakout Star, Claire Wagner." Yup! That's me. The newest eighteen year old who has been working her ass off for the past two years, juggling three careers as a model, actress and my all time favourite, a photographer.It hasn't been easy and I can't stress how many times my parents have told me to take a break and come home just to relax, but I've been stubborn like always. Working keeps my mind away from depressing stuff like worrying about Jason who I haven't seen in the last two years and he doesn't even have a social media account, I mean, who doesn't have a social media account?And even Antonio! That dumb jerk gave a stupid excuse and avoided attending my parents wedding, he'

"Will you be my maid of honour?" I was staring back at Mom, waiting for her to say she's just kidding but she was really waiting for my answer."Me?!" I was surprised. "Are you sure? What about Alice?" I said, gesturing to the other woman who sat next to me on the lounge."I'm married and even if I'm not, you should be her maid of honour." Alice replied before Mom could."Yes, Claire, I want you to be my maid of honour. I can't think of anyone better than you." I was flattered, but of course I wouldn't be if I had seen it before now, but my wacky abilities have deserted me for a while now; even after an entire week after I woke up, I still can't tell the future."Yes!" I said excitedly and Mom hugged me immediately, sighing in relief."Thank you. You know what? This calls for a celebration. How about all three of us hang out together? Like a girls' day out. We could go to the spa, get makeovers, manis-pedis, new hairdos...""Okay that sounds like a mother-daughter outing and I already

"Are you insane?!" Antonio half-yelled at me. I pretended not to hear him as I ate my birthday cake. After Archie was done with his call, he told everyone we were dating and though my parents weren't so thrilled about it, everyone was cool with it."You can't go from being in love with Jason to being Archie's girlfriend.""I can and that's what I'm doing." I said nonchalantly."Claire, you can't do that.""Why? Archie likes me to bits and I think he's totally lovable, hence, we're dating. And don't forget we already told our parents and they are okay with it.""Your Dad wasn't okay with it, he knows you should be with Jason, he's just being nice.""Which I expect you to be too. Archie is a great guy and Jason is far from my reach anyway. To be honest, I don't think I would have any feelings for Jason if not for that soul mate bullshit.""Bullshit?! Is this why you shut me out? Because you're harbouring crazy thoughts like this?" Antonio was pissed, I knew that but I wasn't going to le

"That went well." I stilled when I heard Antonio's voice behind me. What was he doing in my room? "Did you forget I can tell the immediate future? I knew the surprise would be ruined and you'd lock yourself up here." Oh, well.I sank to the floor and just hugged my legs. "You're sad, I get it. But look on the bright side...""There's not bright side here, Antonio. I love him yet I told him to get lost. Who does that?!" I hugged my legs tighter. Antonio came over and sat next to me."I don't know what to tell you, all I see is you spending the next two years missing Jason while you figure your life out." Two years?!"It's going to take that long?""You can't see your future?""I can't see anything, my abilities are messy right now. I can only tell the present and read someone's mind.""I see. That's probably because you haven't healed completely from the accident." I sighed."That's not important to me. I'm going to spend a full two years without Jason? Will we ever get back together?

"Claire?! Wait!" I didn't listen to Jason, I kept walking until I got to the car. He caught up to me."What happened? Are you okay?""I want to go home. Can you take me home?" I avoided his eyes."Yes, but what really happened? Did my mom say something...?""Just forget it. Like I said, I'm tired." He exhaled and unlocked the car. We both got in.I didn't say anything while he took me home, I could very well feel his eyes on me, but I kept my eyes away from him all the time."Look, I'm sorry about my Mom, I'm definitely sure she said something to you. She can be a little uppity sometimes but..." Oh, he got that one right."Don't apologize, she didn't do anything wrong.""Oh, okay." We were quiet for a few minutes more. I knew what Antonio expected me to do, break it up with Jason; and the easiest way to do that is when he thinks I don't remember him. I didn't want to, I really didn't want to but Jason has a lot planned out for himself and I'm just a roller coaster of drama and danger,

"Claire?!" I turned away from Jason to Aunt Miriam.Uncle Mark's family was all the distraction I needed to get my mind off Jason... and his lips. Well, at least for the meantime.Kevin was an adorable kid, he looked every bit like Aunt Miriam and Jane tried acting a bit mature to impress me, but she was still the cute little girl I know. Of course they were glad to have me, especially Tyler, it wasn't even as if I've been in a coma for years, they acted like I've only been gone for a week.Uncle Mark was happy Renee got what she deserved but he didn't know about my abilities, none of them did and I wondered why Dad didn't say anything. There are family after all."You ready to go? Mom's expecting us now." Jason whispered to me. I was playing dress-up with Jane and Aunt Miriam."Yeah." I apologized to Jane and Aunt Miriam, I had to promise to return before they let me go and I was back in the car with Jason."So, you said your Mom lives with her dogs, right?""Yeah.""Did she explain

It's my birthday? I pulled away to check my phone, it was really the second day of April. I'm sixteen!I crushed Antonio in another tighter hug, excited."I'm sixteen!""You sound like you've waited a long time for that, even after you skipped two whole years." I ignored Antonio's teasing and got off the floor."I'm happy because I finally remember Jason and now that I'm sixteen, my Dad won't mind me dating some..." A knock on the door interrupted me."Uhm, Claire? Can we talk?" It was Jason. I made for the door but Antonio blocked my path. Great! They still had a beef."It's not about that, trust me." Antonio said in a whisper. "You've regained your memories, I have no reason to stay mad at him, it wasn't even his fault to begin with. I'm stopping you because you can't tell Jason you remember him. Pretend you don't remember him, I have a reason." That's crazy! I just hurt his feelings out there and two weeks ago, I was about to tell him how I feel about him, why do I have to stop now
