Soraya was having a great time in the Maldives, but she couldn't get Zed out of her mind. Brad was a gentleman, to be sure, but he wasn't Zed. Zed was simply a different person. He gave his time, love, and everything, but she didn't notice because she saw him as a poor man with nothing to offer.

Why am I unable to get you out of my mind?! She exclaimed quietly to herself. Soraya, you're madly in love with him. That is the reason. Her conscience made her laugh.

I don't want to because he's poor and his bad business can't afford my expenses for a week. "Zed Velasquez, get out of my head," she yelled as she smacked her head on her pillow.

I will forget you, Zed Velazquez, no matter what it takes! She thought to herself.

“"Oh, I'm sorry," Jess said as the stranger drew her back.

"Please excuse me?" She asked if she knew him from somewhere.

"You're excused. Here's my card. Call me sometime." He placed it in her palm and kissed her on the lips before walking away, leaving Jess stunned

    “This is simply not going to work. Soraya, we all agreed it was just for fun with no strings attached, so where is this all coming from?" Brad inquired as he buttoned his shirt. "I know, but I'm sick of all these games." "I'm looking for something genuine." She exhaled a sigh.I apologize; perhaps with someone else, but not with myself. "I'll see you around." Brad abandoned her. Is it really that difficult to find love? She questioned herself.“How was Zed able to hold onto me for so long? "Even though I treated him badly, he still loved me, and then my big mouth had to ruin everything." She muttered to herself. "Ah, we meet again," Miguel said, sitting in front of Jess. She had gone to see the manager of the shop she was about to rent to open her new salon in Jersey City. She was nearly finished with her course of study, and at this point, they were required to start their businesses in order to make up for their final grade and obtain their certificates.

    'Are you certain you want to go through with it?' Nikki and Nicolette both inquired at the same time. Nichole had decided to relocate to Italy in order to take over the family's other branch of business. "I am,I'm sick of sitting around doing nothing while everyone else works and then lives their best lives. I don't have anyone to confide in, no one with whom to go out and have fun. I should leave and start over somewhere else. Please, especially you, Nicolette, don't talk me out of it." She said this with firmness in her voice.“ What of me? Can I try?" Jesse inquired from behind her. Since that day, their relationship had been strained. "Jesse, you're the last person I'd listen to. My mind has been made up. I'm getting out of Jersey City. I apologize, but I need to do this for myself. I've been doing this and supporting you guys for quite some time. It's past time I became selfish and did something for myself. Please don't try to talk me out of it.'" She continued, "'Aren’t you go

    I loved the concert last night. Thank you." Soraya thanked Noah. "The pleasure is all mine." He grinned at her as she became silent. "What's up?" He inquired, observing her shift in attitude. "I'm heading for Jersey City in two days and I don't want to go." Whatever it is, I'm loving it." She admitted. "Then I might go with you. "I stay in Jersey City as well." He added. "Really? "Aren't you here for an important task?" She inquired as they walked to his car.“"Well, I am, but I will be finished tomorrow, so you and I can depart the next day." He told me "What do you do?" she inquired. "Well, I'm a PA." He acknowledged "Okay, I'm a CEO, but does it really matter?" She grinned. She used to be disturbed, but not anymore. "No, it doesn't." He responded while sitting on the hood of his car, staring into the darkness.“"Hey," Zed said as he hugged Freya from behind. That night, they stood on her building's balcony. The view from there was absolutely gorgeous. "Hi," she said, slipp

    Nichole had been in Italy for three weeks and was loving it. She was at ease and liked the people she worked with, despite the fact that she was their boss. She adored the gorgeous locales she visited with her new buddy, Kyle, the head of the accounting department. He was extremely down to earth and dreamy! "Boss, these are the files you requested." Valentina, her personal assistant and friend, remarked as she placed them on the table. "Val, thank you. Is there anything on our agenda for today?" She asked, without looking up from her table. "Yeah, we have a business trip to Greenville, South Carolina, this evening." She reminded“ "Is that all?" Nichole enquired. "Yes." Valentina said."Very good, then, make sure the hotel bookings are made." There would be no need for a ticket because we would be flying on a private plane.

    So, what's the catch?" Lauren enquired of Keane. "I need you to pretend to be my girlfriend only to get Nina off my back." He informed her. "You could have gotten any other female, but why me?" As her pals stood there staring at her, she murmured. "Would you do it because I asked you to?" He inquired, scratching the back of his neck. "Fine, I'll do it. This seems intriguing." She was beaming. "Good, this will stay between us. Nobody else should know." Keane motioned towards Rita and Amelia.“We won't spill anything, so don't worry about us," Rita continued. "Can we go now?" Amelia questioned. "You girls can go. Lauren is coming with me. Her role starts now." Keane said as Lauren walked away with Keane and his closest buddy, Deitrick. That was so strange, I can smell high school drama coming up. Rita thought to herself as they strolled off to the cafeteria to see what was going on.“Oh,hi , Zed." Soraya welcomed him as she stood by her car. “Yh, hello." He answered by staring a

    Why aren't you girls coming to the fresher's bonfire night?" Keith stormed into his girlfriend's and sisters' room. They had graduated a few months before and enrolled at the same college as him and Lex. "Because we just want to sleep in and make up for lost time." We can go to other campus parties later; we're avoiding this." Sunny spoke up. "It's your first party; have a good time." Don't ruin the celebration." He dug deeper."What's so amazing about today?”Hailey inquired as she exited the kitchen with three plates of spaghetti bolognese. "For starters, you get to meet new people, which is far preferable than sleeping in." "Keith stated as he took a taste of his meal. "At the end of the day, there's simply free beer and food, then a bunch of people making out and fucking themselves, so we'll pass on this one." "Sunny also mentioned making her closest friend giggle. "Fine, I'd quit since you females are a bunch of boring people." He rolled his eyes dramatically.“Yes! It's K-dr

You've been my number one fan. Thanks for all the words of encouragement. How's work at the salon coming up by the way?

Each day my assessors come around, I get good grades that are going to accumulate to my final grade. I'm hoping for a better grade, though. " She said“You will; you're one brilliant girl.

    EPILOGUE. Zed: Can you come pick me up at the airport? Zed's text message rang over and over in her head as she drove to the airport. She couldn't describe how she was feeling at the moment. It was a mixed feeling. Her prayers had finally come to pass. All those nights where she cried herself to sleep had come to an end. She finally admitted to the fact that she had fallen head over heels in love with her ex-driver. What were people doing to say? Well, I don't give a rats ass about what people fucking say, She answered herself parking her car. Zed look through the sea of people searching to find Soraya within the pool of people, but there were too many people around so he couldn't find her. Where's she? Soraya moved round in circles searching for Zed but she couldn't him and the worst part of it was that his phone was off. Maybe he went home. He was tired of waiting. she thought to herself walking out clasping her hands over her head. " Excuse me, " a lady tapped her should

    " Ma, you're welcome to my abode," Jess said opening the door for her. " Thanks, Jess." She carried her mother's bags into one of the empty master bedrooms in her apartment. Bringing her mother to her home was like fulfilment to her. She was at peace, for the first time in a few weeks. Amelia was done with high school and would be heading to college in a few weeks. She insisted she stayed back at Jamesborough to pack her stuff and hang out with friends before she said goodbye to those she wasn't going to college with. " Nice house you have here sweety," her mom complimented. " Thanks, mom, can I offer you something to eat or drink?" she inquired. " No baby, I'm fine for now. What I would love to do is to have a good bath and rest." " Then, let me leave you to it, I hope you're comfortable though?" she inquired of her.

    " Hailey Wayne," her name was mentioned as she mounted up the podium. She stood there for a while looking around. She was thankful for her brother and her best friend for their immense support of her dreams." People were against me an aviation school to learn how to become a pilot one day. One may ask why? Well, according to them, my family was rich. I mean super rich so why didn't I work for them instead of following my stupid dreams that would land me nowhere. Ah, how I wish they were seated right here, I would have looked in their faces and said..." Bitch, I made it," she added as everyone chuckled." But to those who supported me, I love you and I am so glad I did not let you down. Youre the best!" she descended the stage and walked towards her seat where Keith and Sunny sat." I love you guys to the moon and back," she whispered to them." We can't love you any less," " Hailey, wait up!" Ansel caught up with them." What's up Ansel?" she rubbed her eyes."

    " Slow down there Ansel, I thought you had a girlfriend already so why me?" Hailey lay on her bed listening to her best friend speak. " Yeah, I have--, I ha---, I mean I did have one." " You're fumbling with your words hunny. Do you or do you not have a girlfriend?" she asked again. " Alright, I do okay. But it's you I want." he turned to face her. " You can't have two girlfriends Ansel, let me make this easier for you. I've moved on. No, I am not seeing anyone else at the moment but I don't want to be in a relationship with anyone at the moment. I am so sorry." she apologized. " It's fine, thanks for being honest by the way. I'd see you at graduation day tomorrow," he added leaving her apartment. No more toxic relationships. " Sunny, how may I help you?" she rubbed her eyes.

    " Zed," Soraya knocked on his door. She had been to his office and he wasn't around. He checked the restaurant as well yet he wasn't there. " Hi Ma'am." a young maid opened the door. " Is Zed around?" she inquired of him from her. " I'm sorry but Mr Velasquez travelled for business this morning," she told her. " Oh, thank you," she replied turning on her heels. " Is there anything I could tell him or any information I could get across to him for you?" she asked. " JUST LET I--- " I'm sorry for yelling, I will try getting in touch with him. Thanks for your help," she responded hurrying to her car. But why wasn't he answering her calls? Was he ignoring her? Didn't he want her no more? Those questions run through her mind as she slightly banged her head on the stirring wheel. Her phone rang several times before she answered it. " Mom?" she impatiently called not in

    She wore a blue faux-wrap V-neck sequin dress that hugged her figure tightly. Deven had planned a surprise for her that night, and she kept wondering what it was yet he never spoke a word. Val was no better, she pretended not to know anything about Deven taking her out tonight. Those two... I couldn't love them any less. She thought to herself as she picked up her matching clutch, looking into the mirror one last time before descending the staircase. Just as she got to the foot of the staircase, the doorbell rang. Perfect timing. " Come on in," she called as Deven entered. He wore a grey tuxedo, his white shirt wasn't fully buttoned and his toned chest was showing, his hair was parted to the side which made him look incredibly hot that night. In all, he looked charming. " Like what you see?" he broke her out of her self induced trance. " Uhuh..." she nodded slowly as he stretched out his hands to take hers. She ge

    Jackie woke up to a tray of food beside her. She sat up shocked at the gesture. No one had done that for her before. Like she even had a man in her life before, pfff. She shyly covered her face as Drew stared at her with a smile on his. How come I didn't ask her out earlier? She looks so beautiful in the morning. Thank goodness I wasn't too late. " Imma go wash my face and brush my teeth...'d be back in a minute," she said getting off the bed and heading to the bathroom. This seems so good to be true. She stood before the mirror brushing her mouth. " Babe breakfast's gonna get cold," Drew called. " Give me a second, please," she replied washing her mouth and face. " Aright," he answered walking towards her window and pulling the curtains apart. Jackie emerged from the bathroom and then sat on her bed. She gently poured the hot water into her cup before dumping her tea bag in it. She opened the other plate as the smell of bacon, sausages and baked beans hit her. They are alon

    " Hey, you look stressed out, are you okay?" Sunny asked her boyfriend as he entered the house. " I'm fine...is there any food around here, 'm starving." he walked past her. "Sunny?!" he called startling her. " Is there any food in this house goddam it?!" he raised his voice at her again making her flinch. " Please don't hit me,"she murmured. " Yeah, there's, there's some pasta on fire...let me go check it and serve you your food," she answered shaking as she hurried past him to the kitchen. Her hands were still shaking as she took the food off the fire and dished Keith's food. She set it on the table with a bottle of root beer. Keith stood in front of the kitchen observing his girlfriend. She seemed so scared and was shaking the whole time. I shouldn't have screamed at her. He walked closer to her and put his hands on her waist making her flinch again. " Please, please don't hit me,"

    " Oh hey," Freya said spotting Zed. He wore a hoodie and was walking along her street when he met her coming from her morning run. "Freya, it's been a while." he pulled down the hood. His face looked red. "Oh, yes, it has. What's up with you? Why are you looking so unkempt? "Did something happen to your company?" She peppered him with questions."Calm down, nothing happened to the business, it's doing great, in fact, I'm opening one out of town," he replied."That's fantastic news," she said as her phone rang."Hey love," Freya replied in front of Zed.She already moved on? he pondered walking away as Freya talked on the phone. "Sure see you in the evening then." she dropped the call. "So--" she lifted her head up to continue with the conversation with Zed but he was long gone. Where did he go? she shrugged walking towards the mall. Did she move on? I thought we had a thing going on. How come she moved on so fast? he slammed his hands on his steering wheel.
