I buried my face into the pillow as I let out a scream, I can’t believe Kyle cheated on me with no one but my greatest enemy Maria. Maria had been a pain in my neck since college, her voice alone piss me off talk less of seeing her with my boyfriend, I mean my ex-boyfriend. I know she planned this, she is behind all this, that fucked up mother fucker has always tried to get Kyle away from me, she’s such a bitch. But thinking about it, Kyle isn’t a child to fall into her trap, he sure is an asshole. I’m sure Maria is so happy right now.

Maria and I attend the same high school and college and to my surprise, she got employed in the same company as me although her branch is different from mine. I don’t know how and why we keep ending up concurrently, not exactly but Maria is my neighbor, yes I know it’s odd, but I can’t help but think of Maria as my stalker, she is literally all in my business. When we were in college, Maria did the same as she did with Kyle, she made my boyfriend fall for her. Screw Maria! I’m done with this fucking dating life, it’s so fucking exhausting. Although that doesn’t mean I will let Maria win, not that I’m gonna fight her to get Kyle back but I’m gonna show her that with or without Kyle, my happiness and joy are inexhaustible.

I turned back and laid on my back, turning my head around I heard a knock on the door. I rolled my eyes ignoring the knock.

"Open the fucking door Tara" I heard Maria’s voice. That filthy motherfucker needs to mind her business, I wonder what she wants. I turned around staring at the ceiling, I heard a buzz from my phone, and without any look, I instantly knew it is Maria, I still wonder why I saved her fucking number after all she is no longer a part of the official branch. I’m so glad she was moved to another branch.

"Open the door Tara, or I will break it down" Maria yelled

Break it if you can bitch! I hardly use the word hate, but I seriously hate Maria, she’s such a bitch.

"Tara, I need my jacket, open the door" Now I heard Kyle's voice

I don’t have time for this right now. I know what Maria wants she just wants to see my face, she thinks I’m pessimistic. She thinks I’m sad, and even though I am, I won’t let her see that. I stood up and adjusted my shirt, for a moment I forgot I was wearing a shirt that isn’t halfway near my knee which displayed the shape of my nipples.

I took grabbed my sweatpants and wore it, adjusting the shirt I walked towards the door. As I opened it, I gave Maria a death glare before I look at Kyle in a disgusted manner.

"What do want Maria!" I growled

"Oh baby I had no idea that you were crying I wouldn’t have disturbed you." She smirked

As I said, Maria is a bitch! "What do you want?" I asked again rolling my eyes

"Hmm, I_"

"Actually my boyfriend here," Maria cut him off as she caressed Kyle’s lips "My boyfriend wants his jacket." She said

I rolled my eyes, that’s just a fucking lie, she just wants to see my face, she wants to show me that she was more than me. Fucking bitch! "He wants his so-called jacket, he should come get it in the morning." I groaned as I began shutting the door Maria placed her hand on it

"You don’t have to be mad at me, I mean it’s not my fault your boyfriend" She blew a kiss at him "I mean your EX-boyfriend wants me." She pouted "I hope you don’t mind if I call Kyle your ex-boyfriend, I mean he left you for ME." She indicated

I felt like slaughtering the fuck out of her, she’s such a bitch. "Oh Maria, it’s fine, I understand you love taking my leftovers, first Scott and now Kyle, seems like you never get tired of having my leftovers." I smiled. Her eyes filled with hatred, I know exactly what she’s thinking about right now, I hit her in the right place "But you know what Maria if you like, I will show you the way to make Kyle pleased, you know, his sex methods" I winked at her

"You bloody bitch!" She growled out as I smiled at her, I love it when I make her mad "Oh Tara, I don’t just seem to understand you, you are one of a kind. Leftovers or not, Just remember one thing your boyfriend left you for me. He played you like a bitch" She smiled

Her words hit my heart deeply, not gonna lie but it’s true, this is the second time my boyfriend has left me for her. I tried to stop myself from breaking down, I will never let her win.

Before she could say anything, I instantly closed the door. I stood behind the door with my back resting on it, I let out a breath "That bitch needs to learn some manner" I muttered as I walked closer to the couch, I heard a sudden knock on the door, it was rough and continuous. "What the fuck do you want now Maria?" I yelled

The knock continued, still rough and fast. That’s it, I have had enough of this motherfucker.

"What the fuck do you want?" I yelled walking toward the door

Immediately as I opened the door, I came face to face with a handsome man who is almost rugged looking with the sight stubble on his face. His chocolate brown hair was tousled most stylishly and his brown eyes almost had a golden tone to them. He had a few bruises on his eye bone.

"Hi." He said in a deep calming voice

"Hi" I responded most awkwardly. I just met him but I can feel my legs feeling weak; in a good way though.

"Can I please use your bathroom?"

"Bathroom?" I questioned

"Yeah, actually my car broke down, my phone is dead and there isn’t any gas station nearby." He said

I cocked an eyebrow giving him a long look, he wore a black leather jacket, in it is an ash shirt which is slightly wrinkled, black trousers, and black shoes. He sure is handsome but I don’t know why, he gives me bad vibes.

"I’m sorry but I can’t help you," I said

"Please understand, I won’t take long." He assured

"I’m sorry but_" I paused when Maria walked out of her apartment with Kyle, as she pulled him for a kiss, my heart melted, knowing that I still have feelings for Kyle.

"Excuse me, can I please step in," He asked but my attention was still on Maria. Gosh, I hate that bitch.

I was about to respond to him when Maria turned back and looked at me, she walked closer to me with a damn smile on her face "Tara, I hope you aren’t feeling uncomfortable?" She said

I rolled my eyes "What did you say again?" I asked him completely ignoring her

"I will like to_"

"Oh Tara, I seriously hate seeing you all sad." She cut him off

Bloody bitch! I’m not fucking sad "Maria, can you excuse us please."

"Okay, I will just have some fun with my baby." She smiled

"Fucking bitch!" I muttered

"What did you say? You called me bitch didn’t you?" She exclaimed and I rolled my eyes "How dare you call me a bitch, you know it’s not my fault that your boyfriend chose to leave you for me." She pointed at herself

I literally have no words for her right now. I hate the fact I have no words for her right now.

She turned back and walked towards Kyle, she looked at him before looking at me, with a glare "No one will ever love you, you will never get a man as good as Kyle. You are pathetic Tara, sorry to say but no one likes a girl who keeps secrets from her boyfriend."

Damn, she always gets me, I hate the fact she always gets to my head. She turned back and was about to leave when I stop her, I walked towards her and stood right in front of her, staring into her eyes "For your kind information Maria, you are the pathetic one, not me, if I remember clearly, Kyle didn’t cheat on me, actually, we were playing each other." I said before I looked at Kyle. It hurts me to lie but I have no other choice, I turned to look at the stranger, he looked very confused. My heart racing a mile a minute, this is definitely going to be the stupidest thing I’ve done. I pulled him closer to me, brushing my lips against him, softly, delicately, like butterfly wings, just long enough that I could inhale his breath, and feel the warmth of his skin. As I pulled back, I turned my gaze at Kyle who just gaped at me.

"Yes Kyle you were right, I was cheating on you, this is my boyfriend, actually, he’s my soon-to-be fiancé." I smiled clutching his hand, I gave him a small smile. I know exactly what he wants right now, answers, and I don’t think I have any.

Now I have to start explaining what just happened.I look at him, and as our eyes met I instantly lowered my gaze. I can’t keep doing this, sooner or later I have to talk to him, I have to say something, but what?

    I was tangled in the sheets and blankets, laying on my stomach with a pillow covering my head. I lifted my elbow slightly, the pillow tumbled over. My eyes were squinted as the sun shine through the curtains making me groan and lay my head back on the mattress. I slowly turned over to my back, my arm reaching over to rest over my eyes. My alarm started going off making me basically wanna die. It was blaring a random song I had in my music library and just seemed to be getting louder and louder, without opening my eyes I reached for the phone which is kept on my bedside table, I pressed a button and it went off.I turned around groaning, I haven’t had enough sleep, this day is basically gonna be the worst. I sat up, stretching my arms, and a loud yawn escaped my mouth. I grabbed my towel, toiletries, and underwear and then head to the bathroom. Starting with a quick shower, and then going to brush my teeth and fix my hair. I stared at my reflection. Beautiful. Tall. Slim. I have a mode

    I woke up to the ray of the sun streaming through the slats on my blinds, cascading over my naked chest. I stretched, my boobs lifting with my arms as I greeted the sun. I rolled out of bed and put on a shirt, my nipples prominently showing through the thin fabric. Last night was a heavy mess, call me crazy but I had to take off my shirt to have a good sleep, I kept turning round and round, sleeping alone is something I’m not comfortable with and last night was the night I found out that America also face power supply difficulties, that’s right, my power got cut in the middle of the night and the summer heat of New York City basically wanted to kill me. I had to make a couple of calls before those assholes brought the light back.As I got off from bed, I went directly to the kitchen, my day usually starts with coffee but I’m too lazy to make one so, I decided to go with corona beer. It’s very unhealthy to start your day with beer but at least it’s better than starting the day with wine

Date and time are both noted on my book of life, if someone tells me that I’m not capable of being the executive manager I will just kick his ass up. Today is the day I realize what the position of manager means. I would have agreed that I’m dreaming if it wasn’t for the fact that I continuously pinched myself to wake up but didn’t. I’m starting to feel like this day is a bloody nightmare that refuses to be over. After writing speeches and making notes on what the presentation is about, I attended five meetings in a roll without any break and not to mention that I presented almost all the projects, and yes you are right, as the manager, it’s one of my responsibility to make presentations, I’m not talking about some ordinary presentation, but I’m talking about a global presentation that has to do with ministries, diplomacy and bullshit like that.

    He walked towards me and dragged an empty chair, he moved the chair closer to the table and then took a sit. "You have nothing to worry about, we’re still together, in fact, we are doing great." He looked back at Maria "What?" She questioned "Sorry I was late, work was intense today." He said to me.I was still in shock, how the hell is he here? And why is he playing along, I didn’t even tell him to do that."It’s fine, but don’t be late next time." I played along Maria rolled her eyes, hissed, and then grabbed Kyle’s hand and walk away. This is fucking crazy, he just shut Maria up."I can explain." He looked at me"Explain what bro? You just shut that mother fucker up." Jeffery said "Yeah…Uhm I don’t know what to say, thank you for standing up for me." I awkwardly said "Wasn’t exactly a stand-up but you’re welcome" He responded "Wait a minute, you guys know each other?" Jeff asked "Yeah!" I responded "I will explain everything to you later."

    Letting someone stay with me without scrutinizing everything about the person is something I never do. Before Kyle started living with me, I had to find out everything about him, every single detail of him was important. Don’t ask me why because I have my reasons, as they say, every experience comes with a lesson. I have made countless impulsive decisions but I think offering my house to a total stranger is one of the worst, but how bad can it be?I woke up to the most irritating sound ever, my alarm. It started going on and off blabbing the most irritating sound ever, I still wonder why I haven’t changed my alarm ring.

He’s more like a secretary."Miss Tara, I don’t think I can get everything before the evening.""Oh please Paul, we don’t have much time" I snapped tugging a strand of hair behind my ear.

    "Yeah seriously Jeff, that was really funny," I said through the phone.I have been on a call with Jeff for almost one minute, we’ve been talking about the dumbest thing; a car truck driver that was flirting with a waitress. I know it’s dumb, and why would anyone waste their time talking about that? But excuse us for being so weird, Jeff and I were basically bored at that moment and the waitress and driver were a source of entertainment."Yeah okay, I will talk to you later," I said "Remember, we have work tomorrow."

    I should be mad at Andrew for breaking my car window screen in pieces but don’t know why, I just don’t feel like getting upset. I ordered a cab online and he’s on his way to pick me up. I still can’t believe I’m letting this slide and worse is that he didn’t even apologize and I’m acting all cool about it, if it was someone else I would have to spank him bout and make him pay for it. I let out a breath as the sun kissed my skin. I stood in the driveway waiting for the cab driver to arrive, my handbag hanging on my hand and my sunglasses shading my eyes. I have already called the mechanic and he is on his way to fix whatever damage Andrew caused to the car, he says he has to take the car to his garage for proper repairs. Once I saw a cab pulling closer to the sidewalk, I sighed "Finally, it’s about time." I walked to the side of the cab, I pulled the door open before smoothly stepping inside.

    As the cab drove me off, I paid a couple of bucks and then hopped out of the car. Walking into the building, I rolled my eyes as a silent growl escape my mouth when I saw Kyle and Maria. I know I said I’m over Kyle but I just don’t know why I get mad when I see him with Maria. I slightly blocked them with my hand, making it look like I was trying to hide my face although that is exactly what I was doing, I don’t want Maria to notice my presence if she does she will start acting like the bitch she is.As I walked toward the elevator, I constantly tapped the button, praying for it to open before Maria comes any closer to me. Tapping the button one more time, I heard footsteps coming my way. Here comes the bitch."Hey, Tara." I heard Kyle say.I slowly turned around and face him, looking beside I noticed Maria’s absence. Didn’t I just see her with him, or was I hallucinating?"Hey," I responded; my voice sounded low and calm. I turned back to the elevator and pressed the button again. I’

I did the same walking towards him, I hugged him."Daisies, you tend to never forget." I smile as he released me from his grip"How will I forget, Amelia always whined about how she loved daisies." He softly chuckled."Yeah! Mom was really into those flowers, she loved them.""Loved them." He chuckled "Amelia was obsessed with them."I smiled at his words as we matched into the cemetery. When we approached the grave, I gave uncle Milo some privacy by leaning against a tree about ten feet away from him. Even though I heard each word he said I acted like I didn’t. After so many years, I still wonder if mom was able to forgive me, I never wanted that to happen, I never did. As he talked to mom, my eyes started forming tears and bit by bit tears began dropping.

    I sat on the sofa, flipping through my old photo album. Yesterday after we left the grocery store, I went to the spa as planned and Andrew said he was going to meet an old friend, it was about some job stuff he didn’t want to talk about much, so I decided to let him use my car. Flipping through the photos, tears began forming in my eyes, I closed my eyes and let out a breath. Today is supposed to be a good day for me, I don’t know if I should be celebrating or moaning, either ways, I enjoy spending the day staring at my old pictures and writing letters. I softly chuckled at my baby picture, I was very cute when I was a baby, and my mom says I had the cutest buttocks. My cheeks always get red when she says that, it was very embarrassing when she said that in public. As I flipped onto the next page, my alarm rang signaling me it was time. I took the photo album off my lap and placed it on the sofa. Walking towards my phone I turned off the alarm and stomped out of the room. Stepping int

    When my cell phone vibrate on the side, I was laying on my bed with my arm covering my eyes, trying to block out the mid-morning sun that was streaming through the window. I groaned and rolled to the side, stretching my arm out to reach for it. Every single one of my muscles protested at the slight movement. My whole body hurts from the massive work I’ve been doing. I think I will spend my day at the spa today, massage is what I need right now. Finally catching my phone with my fingertips, I pressed it to my ear and stared up at the ceiling. "Yeah what?"
