Kenneth really wasn't being himself recently. After the night he and Marsha had had an argument, he had been acting so weird. I needed to know what was going on in his mind, but that didn't seem to be possible. Anytime I wanted to speak with him, he'd ignore me. This was kind of upsetting.
"Serene, I think I'll be leaving now." He dropped a few papers on the counter. Taking his small, leather backpack from the stool beside the counter, he slung it over his shoulder, and sighed. "Will catch up with you tomorrow. Have a good night."
As he was about to leave, I stopped him, "Kenneth, wait," I said.
"Hm?" He turned around, his eyebrows raised at me.
I walked to him, and sighed when I stood in front of him. "Guess I'll have to ask the same question over again. What's going on with you?"
"It's fine." He glimpsed at the floor, giving me a small smile. "I'm fine. Really

I was so puzzled, and had no idea of where to run to. I didn't want to disturb the neighborhood, but what could I do? As I ran with so much intensity, that was when my legs decided to trip against each other. I gasped, and fell to the floor like a dead leaf.Panting, I managed to sit up. I turned around to face the dogs, shaking my head at them. "Please! Don't harm me!" I cried.Of course, they didn't listen to me. They just ran towards me, and jumped over my body."Ah!" I cried. Closing my eyes, I lay on the floor, praying for a miracle to happen.What were they gonna eat first? My hair? My hands? My legs? My boobs? Or my butt?I tightened my fist, tightened my eyes. About saying my last prayer, I felt something lick the skin of my face. Dazed, I opened my eyes widely. To my surprise, the dogs were caressing my skin with their tongues. Wait, what? Okay, first,

I felt a bit disturbed, knowing that something was going on with Kenneth, Mrs. Stanley, and Marsha. Earlier, Mrs. Stanley had called them into her office, crying at them for something I didn't know. It seemed like she was complaining about some spoiled groceries. They had all seemed tense.I took my time to arrange the freshly bought tomatoes into the stalls, then moved on to cleaning the selling counters. In a few hours, I would be done working for the day. Finally, I'd be able to rest.As I wiped off the dirt on the counters, a clear memory of how Ryan had kissed me, was crawling to my head. Being frank, if I hadn't pulled away from our kiss that night, we would have ended up getting so crazy in our desire. Wasn't that cute? Yep, it made me blush.Soon, a customer walked to the counter. Once I was done packaging her purchases, I handed them over to her, then resumed cleaning the counters.

Again, and again, and again, I gulped. Wait, how in the world had he fallen for me? What was wrong with these guys? What was going on in my life? First, it had been Raymond. Then Ralph. Then Ryan. And now, Kenneth? What was all this? A love… pentagon? Four men, all in love with me? Was I Bill Gates' secret daughter or something? What was happening?!Extremely confused, I threw my hand up, violently raked my fingers into my hair. "Oh, Jesus, help me. Please, help me."Kenneth sighed. "This is it, Serene. It hurts so much when you defend Marsha. How can you expect me to like her, though I'm in love with someone else?""But, see, I need to tell you something," I announced. I wasn't in for the shitty I-love-you talks.For Jeez' sake, I had a boyfriend! A very cute, adorable, and extremely loving boyfriend. It had been a few weeks since I had been dating Ryan, over a month since I had liked h

I smiled at myself, adoring how good I looked, as I stared at my reflection in the large, rectangular-shaped mirror which was placed on the wall in front of me, in Ryan's guest room. Ryan kind of had a nice sense of fashion. The dark, shiny evening gown he had bought was very beautiful, matching the silver slingback heels I had on. The hairstylist had given me a little hair cut, and had styled my hair in wavy curls. Overall, the slight makeup on my face was perfect.I cupped my hands around my jaw, flushing like an infatuated teenager. "You're pretty," I murmured to myself."You're done?" Hearing Ryan's voice, I turned to him.He leaned his shoulder over the door frame, his arms curled around his chest. I couldn't help but notice him. The dark blue shirt he wore, matched his black chino pants and brown lace up shoes. Also, he had style his hair in classic taper cut, which made him look so handsome.

I felt a tingling and sharp pain at the back of my head, as my eyes slowly opened. My hands felt locked in something, my legs unable to make any movement. My butt felt so hot, something pinching my lower abdomen. As I blinked, the bright light on the ceiling shone against my eyes, making me feel partially blind.What was going on?Hearing a thick, masculine voice, my eyes snapped open. Wait, why were my hands and legs tied with a rope? Why was I tied to this old, wooden chair? Had I been… kidnapped?I gasped, my eyes broadening in fear. My eyeballs scrolled through the place, my heart working at its ultimate pace. Dreaded, I took a deep breath, praying for a miracle to happen. Who had done this to me? Why would anyone kidnap me? What did they want?"When all the guests leave the hall, we'll be able to leave the hotel without being questioned by anyone," a man said. He had his back on me,

Ryan°°°°°°I requested a glass of non-alcoholic wine from the bartender, drumming my fingers against the bar counter, as I sat on one of the high bar stools by the counter. To be honest, I was quite worried that Serene hadn't gotten back yet. I wanted to check on her, but I felt like I should wait a little longer. Earlier, while we had both been at my place, she had spent a long time in the bathroom. So, what if she had constipation or something? I didn't think it'd be nice to disturb her."So, how's everything going at your office?" Sherri asked.I turned to her, trying to act like I wasn't worried. She had been talking to me for a while, which kind of kept my company. I smiled at her. "It's been going well, I guess. It's just that I'm still seeking a way to get rid of Raymond."She sipped from her glass of wine, and giggled. "I think you should resign already.

The taste of the meatballs Ryan had bought for us, was completely refreshing. I shut my eyes, smiling like a drunkard. Could meatballs make a person feel on top of the world? Yes."You like it that much?" Ryan laughed at me.I nodded like a maniac. "Very much. It's so… gosh. No words can express it.""Mind if we get ice cream after this meal?" He offered.I nodded crazily. "Yes. Ice cream. Vanilla. And strawberry. And chocolate."He smiled. "Alright."I grabbed some burnt ends and corn dogs from the plate in front of me, and chewed on them like a hungry goat. Ryan stared at the brown colored soup in front of him, which had a whole lot of green leafs, pepper, and catfish in it, seeming quite hesitant to drink the soup.I raised an eyebrow at him. "What's up with you? You're scared of it? You know the soup isn

I didn't know how to begin this unnecessary explanation. I didn't want him to do anything to Kenneth. We hadn't been doing anything wrong, so Kenneth was innocent here. I hoped Ryan would make use of his senses."Um…" Kenneth smiled weirdly, and sighed. "I-I guess I'll be leaving now. Do take care, okay? And, see you at work on Monday."I nodded with a smile. "And you too. Goodnight.""Goodnight." With that, he left.As soon as he walked into the next street, I turned to Ryan who had a neutral expression on his face. Okay, I wasn't going to deal with his jealousy this time around. I'd just ignore it."Let's go in." I feigned a smile. Saying it, I just walked past him. But then, for some reasons I didn't care to know about, he held my wrist back."Wait," he ordered.I rolled my eyes, and turned to him.
