"Great! Drake is a rich man?”
Zusie exclaimed, we just finished shopping for new clothes, shoes and some makeup using the card Drake gave us last night. It was my first time to use something like this, so I bought only what I needed.
"You hit the jackpot, girl!”
I laughed at Zusie causing her to jokingly slap me on the arm.
“Hmph! It's okay, for sure I can find a Prince Charming like him. I am manifesting.”
I felt happy with her baby talk, that's why I asked her to eat beef today. Is it steak?
"Do you think this see-through will suit me, Selene? Don't you see my soul here too much?"
"Now you have become conscious of your body, of course, that will suit you, you are beautiful."
"Thank you sissy, I don't regret that you became my friend, I love you." Zusie even hugged me, and I did the same to her.
Here we are inside an elegant steak house, as soon as I entered, the delicious smell of meat being cooked entered my nostrils.
While in the middle of the meal, we talked about some things that happened at the bar before we left, about our artistic colleagues and the high bosses. It was not enough for Zusie to swear at some of her customers that it was too much to get the most out of her payment as they didn't want to rest even for five minutes.
The only thing we avoided to be a topic was about family, we cut the connection with our previous loved ones. We were both rejected by our loved ones.
When our sightseeing was over, we decided to go home to rest. But when we got to the Condo, we thought of something amazing to do when we saw the building's swimming pool.
…
"What do you mean Drake Sebastian is no longer the owner of that Condo Unit? Well, our units are next to each other in this building, right? You know me, do you?” Liset was hysterical in front of the reception area of the building where she occupied a unit.
She and Drake have been friends for a long time, even their families are close friends as well. He and the young man grew up together, they trust each other so he can't leave his Unit without even telling him.
She tries to call Drake but gets no answer from him. He had already arrived at the place, showered and dressed. He intends to meet his friend to convince him to think about the marriage plan with Selene. He also avoided her world for five years, which is why she will not allow it now that his former friend suddenly appears in their photo. She doesn't want her soon-to-be husband to have a relationship with his ex-girlfriend even more.
“D*mn! Pick up, Drake!”
Liset has tried the Unit's security code three times but she can't access it anymore, it's either Dreyk changed the password or maybe she has given up the space in the natural building.
“Why on Earth Drake would give up that Unit, he loves it, especially the view. This is unbelievable!”
She stomps her foot.
"Is he throwing out our friendship? And for what reason? Huh! Is that Selene’s plan? Eh, she's just an uneducated wh*re!”
Liset didn't hesitate to criticize her ex-friend for her work. She wants an explanation for this. Her hair trailed every time she walked out the main door, she was indeed sophisticated.
But not long after, she saw Selene on the poolside, she even gasped when she realized that she had spread a towel and there she lay down and focused on the sun.
"What, sunbathing?" she said angrily. “What is she doing here?
“She can’t afford it here-”
"Wait, don't tell me. D*mn.” The heel of her stiletto clapped as she aggressively headed towards Selene's location. She shook her and got her up.
"What's your problem?" Selene asked when she had eye-to-ey contact with Liset.
“What are you doing here?” Liset asked.
They stared at each other for a moment, sharp and full of disgust.
“Can't you see I'm relaxing here? You, what are you doing here? Don’t tell me you were stalking me?" Selene burst out laughing. She stood up and picked up her towel. "Zue, come on, there's a fly that suddenly came, let’s just go back."
"Hey!" Liset pushed Selene with her index finger, the impact was not strong on the woman but somehow she was insulted by this action. “Did you persuade Drake to get his unit here? Or did you use your body to lure into him, huh? Can’t you get your own life? You once implicated Drake's name in a scandal, don't ever do it again!"
"Really?" Selene's arms are intertwined to annoy Liset even more.
All this time, she still can't imagine what was wrong with her former friend. First, she led her to false information about a job in the City, secondly, she found out on social media that Liset and Patrick became lovers, a month after he left the province.
"Looser, stay away from my friend!'
"Well, in that case, you should talk to him, not me. Between the two of us, he is like a mad dog who clings to me desperately. And that's not my problem anymore, right?"
Liset gasped, playing with her tongue in her mouth. "You're a thickened face, aren't you?"
"I know, but it's okay, at least I'm pretty, the man is chasing me, I'm not the one chasing. Unlike you, when the owner disappeared, you took over what’s hers. Are you a leech?”
“F*ck you!'
The two couldn't hold back the same high tension anymore, they already fought.
“Bitchhh…”
“Well, same to you dear.!” Selene smirked and then laughed at her
They did not let go, Liset's heels were even damaged from tripping. Selene, on the other hand, had a wound on her back from Liset's long fingernails.
Until they could only catch their breath when one of them fell into the pool.
I was disturbed by a series of knocks on the door. I stayed up late last night with a lot of paperwork at school, so I fell asleep at exactly three am in the morning. I planned to get up at eight o'clock, it will be exact for my class starting at ten am, but what is this now? "Just a moment," I answered sleepily while looking for one of my slippers that seemed to be under my bed. "What the hell, I 'm still sleepy," I complained to myself. But all my lethargy was blown away by Claire’s slap as I opened the door. "You’re shameless! Thief!” My cheeks were swollen and my eyes widened in surprise at what happened. My sister and mom were holding my cousin, Claire, who slapped me without saying a word first. I winced at the force of her palm as if my soul suddenly separated from my body. "Claire, don't cry. Can you please tell us what’s wrong?" They're pulling her away from me to stop her from hurting me again. "No auntie, don't take your daughter’s side anymore." Her voice was full of
Five years later. "Selene, you're on table three." The gay manager of a night club that Selene attends shouted loudly. She has been in that career for five years, selling her b*dy for pleasure. "Yes mother, coming," Selene energetically answered the boss who took care of her for almost those years. "Hi, sir welcome to Mamang's Nightclub, are you a first time visitor?" Selene began to talk while sitting next to him. "Yes. Anyway I am with someone, I was just ahead of my boss coming here," the voice of the man in his mid-30's is brusque, he is dressed casually with his black polo shirt and pants. Selene nodded. "Anyway, I’m Selene." He introduced himself to her too, while sitting down beside her. He accepted her simple introduction and said his name is Jericho. "Good, we have time together. Drinks?” “Yeah, sure.” Selene handed the newly opened beer to the man as she smiled widely. He needs that posture for good customer service. She is a stripper in front of the male audience,
"You want to help me for what reason again?" Earlier he was explaining to me the reason why he sent me to his condo. But because I'm not happy with his presence, I also try to put aside the good intentions that come out of his mouth. "I want you to have a normal life, Selene. That's all, it's also my pay back time for what I did to you," he said. His voice was soft, full of sincerity and calmness. His eyes bring a little pain to my heart. He is like a dog asking for a pat on the head. Drake and I are not that close, I've been with him once, but Claire is also with us. He's very showy about his feelings for Claire, that's why I'm so happy to know that they're getting married. I wanted him to be with my cousin forever, but it was also because of me why that didn't happen. Drake was one of the Ideal men who lived in the world, so many people stumbled on his presence. Besides the rich family, he is also a good-looking man. He is tall, elegant and has beautiful facial features that if y
“Why do we have to get married? First, what will be the connection of that with you helping me?" I still can't believe that Drake would suddenly open up about marriage in the middle of a sensitive conversation. "Secondly, what will you gain from such a set-up? Do you intend to enter the chaotic world, like me? You're on top Drake, don't even dream of your world rolling down." I crossed my thighs and leaned my back against the soft sofa. I was overwhelmed by the emotions I released earlier, now I have in front of me the botte of an expensive wine that I intended to ask Drake. My throat was dry and it wanted nothing but alcohol. "Well, I'll be frank with you, Selene, at first my intention was pure help that's why I'm looking for you. And until now that's still what I want. But, there are some things that have been bothering me since the night we’ve separated." I stopped drinking the addicting alcohol and got back to him. The lip of the glass stayed on my lips before sighing and put
"Hey! Where did you go last night?" “What?” "What huh? Are you deaf now?" My colleague at the Bar, Zusie, yelled at me. She was tugging on my arm which irritated me so much that I reciprocated with a push. "Did you catch some bigtime client, so how many rounds did you have?" "Stop being over acting, Zue. It was just the same to all the man I slept on." I said. "Anyway, what do you want for dinner later, It’s on me," I added. "See.” Zusie push me on her excitement. “You really got a jackpot this time. All right, I want grilled pork later," Zusie seemed to be happy as she said it. She held onto my right arm and rested his head on it. You'd think she was a teenager hanging out with his boyfriend. "Get off!" She stomped. "Yes, fine, as long as you take care of my dinner. Thank you my dear friend." "You’re such a dramatic baby, do you know that?" I also laughed at our behavior. I was ahead of Zusie to work at the bar as a stripper, in fact she is like my younger sister. She
“This can’t be happening!” At the same time as Liset screamed, she threw everything she had held on to. Not long after she returned home from the country, startling news immediately dawned on her. Her heart tingled with anger when he found out that Drake was in a relationship with Selene. Selene was someone she didn’t want to meet and be with at this point. There is this part of her heart that she hates the woman. Five years ago, she had made a reason to break her relationship with the woman she met earlier. So she was very surprised that she would be able to meet her again this time, when she was ready to be Patrick's wife “I hate it! I hate this!” she shouted. Drake didn't give her a good answer about having a relationship with his ex-girlfriend's cousin. They talked on the phone several times while she was in America but he never mentioned anything about Selene. "Is he keeping a secret from me now? No, this can't be!” “Argh…” Liset threw her body on the soft sofa, she reache
Selene elegantly walked the Red Carpet with Drake, this was for the invitation that Drake received, from a business tycoon. Selene was very happy at the event, she looked very beautiful in sparkling diamonds from head to toe. Perfect for her white slit maxi dress paired with black heels. Her straight hair was slightly curled at the end loose, in this she appeared even more elegant in front of many people."Are you okay?" Drake asked her softly from her side.He nodded with a sweet smile as well.Drake is also gorgeous in his posture, wearing a simple black tie, which almost all male guests use to have. His black shoes shines brightly that it looks like he can be reflected to it. His pricey watch and a well done hair is suits him so much. His appeal is strong to every sight."I'm fine, just got starstruck. It's my first time to go to a big party,” Selene answered Drake seriously.Drake led Selene to one of the tables filled with beautifully designed flowers and table napkins. There wer
"Great! Even your mother is mad at me, I'm sure Liset said something to your mother that's why she's so angry with me." Drake and I were already in the parking lot, but I didn't go in to get some fresh air. Suddenly, my temper rose from those bad words of Mrs. Sebastian, she doesn't know me well enough to think like that. We should be at the stage of getting to know each other, not like this. "I'm sorry for my mother's behavior. She was just shocked by what happened, to our marriage but don't worry I promise to talk to her as soon as possible, okay?" Drake removed a few strands of hair that had fallen from my face, tucking them behind my ear. The expression in his eyes was worried, so to alleviate that, I kept quiet and didn't give a reaction. "Are you sure about what you want to happen, Drake? You will gamble your relationship with your mom if you continue this. If your main goal is to make up for it, you can do something else. I can't do anything about my past, I already accept
