*phone rings*
Maryl groaned as her beauty sleep has been disturbed,her hands reached out for the phone picking the call in the process.
"Hello".her voice was a bit groggy as she wasn't fully awake.
"You dare to sleep after what you did?".maryl jumped up from the bed the sleepiness gone as she recognized the voice."nolan?".
"Am guessing that you didn't even che you picked the call". no matter how sleepily she had been earlier,she could hear the anger in her brother's voice.
"I..i..it wasn't intentional yes".she fumbled trying to figure out the right words to say."it was a mistake.i swear".
"Let's say that it's a mistake mom found out,what about dad?.is that a mistake too?".
"That wasn't my doing". maryl quickly say."it's mom.she is the one who told dad.believe me,I didn't".
"Whatever".maryl thought she heard him hiss but didn't dare confirm it.
"So...".she started picking her words carefully."what is going to happen now?".
"What do you think?".
"I don't know". maryl said."besides why are you so mad at me?. it's not my fault that dad found out".
"Are you sure that it isn't your fault?". nolan asked."are you?".
"I am sorry".maryl said."I swear that it really was a mistake on my part".
"Enough of the apologies". nolan said."dad called me".
"What did he say?". maryl asked fearing what her father might have said.
"He wants me to come home".
"So?".
"I am coming home".
"What?!".
"You heard me maryl". nolan said."I am coming home".
"What are you going to do to me?".
"We will see about that when I get home". nolan said before he hung up.
"Ugh!".maryl groaned."what have I gotten myself into?".
***********
"You never listen to me".miss bailey said."I thought I told you not to speak to him.
"I know.i know".she really is going to nag me to death one day.
"Then why were you following him?".miss bailey asked glaring at me.if glares could kill,I would be dead by now.
"I wasn't".I lied."we just happened to be going the same way".
"Really?".she was frowning at me."the same way which leads to the men's bathroom?".
Oops,seems I got caught."I had no idea".I quickly say."it's my first time there so you can't blame me for making a mistake".miss bailey gave me a stern look as she couldn't reply to my words.i knew she wouldn't be able to refute my words.
I could see that she was thinking about something as she doesn't speak."What did he say to you?".miss bailey suddenly asks.
"Nothing".I said with a shrug but then I noticed the doubtful look on her face."you told me not to speak to him so I didn't".
"You didn't?".miss bailey asked doubtfully."why is it so hard to believe that?".
"Because you don't trust me".this conversation is starting to bore me."I really didn't".I really hope she could just drop the topic already."You should believe me".
"Well I don't".she said flatly."you never give me any reason to.anyways there's something else I would like to say to you".
Finally, she's willing to stop questioning me."Oh".was all I said as I realized something.what was she going to say to me.
"It's nothing serious".she said probably seeing my reaction."am sure that you would have heard about the gathering that's going to take place".
"Gathering?".
"yeah".she nods."the company is hosting a party to celebrate the success of the company although I would refer to it as a social gathering".
"So I am going?".I ask not really thrilled about the whole party stuff.
"Yes".she nods as she brought out her iPad typing something.
"And it's gonna hold tonight?".I really hope not.
She stopped what she was doing and raised her head."do you other plans for tonight?".she asked staring at me.
"Not really".I was planning to go home since I haven't been home ever since that night but seems I won't be able to."can I please not go?".I plead hoping to get a yes.
"You have to be there".miss bailey said without a care to my pleads."you need to attend the party".
"Why?".
"I don't know".miss bailey said looking away from me.she does that when she lies.
I have a feeling that she wasn't telling the truth."be honest with me".I said."what's my being there going to do?".
"Nothing".she said going back to typing.
"You are lying".I said."if you won't tell me the truth then I won't go".I crossed my arms around my chest.
She turns to face me not saying anything for a second.i guess that she's debating on whether to tell me the truth or not.
"Alright".she said regaining her composure.she seems to have made a decision."I will tell you but on one condition".
"That is?".
"No third party should know about it and promise me that you would attend the party no matter what you hear".
Miss bailey at the moment didn't look like her at all.she was a new person but strangely I felt familiar with this side of her and I don't think I know why.
"Why did you hide it from us?".mrs davis glared at her son who didn't say anything."is it because we are so unrealiable to you?.is that why?". The whole family members were all present sitting in the living room.mr davis who came back from his work had called for the meeting."It's not like that". nolan said.he could feel an headache coming soon."Or you still blame us for the incident?".mrs davis said."it has to be one of the two reasons otherwise I can't understand why you hid it from us".Mr Davis who hadn't spoken suddenly called his wife name."Martha".he said nothing more but his wife understood him."Fine".martha said."let's hear what he has to say".Nolan stared between his dad and mom for their expression,when he noticed that they were calm,he decided to speak."it's true that I have found her".he stopped waiting to see if they would speak but when they didn't he countinued."she doesn't recognize me though"."Huh?".maryl said immediately receiving a glare from her brother whic
"Finally home".Ben says as his body flops on the couch.he could finally rest. One might think he was alone but he wasn't the only one in the room.Seated crossed legged is a lady who appears to be at the same age as him."babe"."What?".the female sounded irritated."Am home"."I can see that"."No hugs or kiss?". complained Ben."you are just gonna sit with all your attention on your phone?". seeing as she gave no response,he called her name."Emma"The female raised her head when she heard her name.she notices the glare she was receiving and drops her phone.she stood up and walks to where ben was and sits on his laps."stop glaring"."Give me a kiss then".pouts ben as he draws her closer to him.The female sighs before her lips lands on ben's lip.she meant to peck him but as soon as their lips met,ben turned their position as he was now stranding her and kissed her passionately.The two continued to kiss while ben's hands were moving all over her body.the kiss lasted for a while as nei
"Erica".even with my back turned towards her,I could figure out the person who said my name.I do not need to look to know who was standing there."miss bailey".I said as I turned to face her remembering that I hadn't answered her."How are you doing?".she asks as she moves closer to me."Good".I said with a nod.She said nothing else and just stared at me.i know she still has something to say to me."What?"."Um...is everything okay with you?".she notices my confused looks so she speaks again."well..you left the party early so I was wondering if everything is okay". miss bailey said.So that's what this is all about.I guess that something that I am not aware of is going on."yea".Part of me wish to know what it is but the other part doesn't want to."Why?"."No reason".I shrugged my shoulders."I found it boring so I left besides it was getting late"."Oh".was all she said."Miss bailey"."Yes".she turned to look at me."How did you know that I left early when you didn't attend the par
The day seems to be bad,I already feel like shit from feeling the pains In my stomach and now it seems like I also caught a cold.This is the worst day ever and yet I got a call from miss bailey telling me I have a photoshoot today.Somehow I held in the pain and managed to get to the location."You are here". said miss bailey as she noticed my presence and walked to me."what's wrong?.are you not feeling well?".she wore a concerned look on her face."I'm fine".I said."don't worry about me".I am thankful that she cares about me."let's get started.i want to be done with this".I just this day to be over real quick.I followed miss bailey into the dressing room to get my makeup done while she search for the clothes I would be putting on."Here are your clothes for today.pur them on and then come out". said miss bailey as she drops the clothes on the desk."five minutes".she the walks out of the room.******"Hello brother ". said maryl on the phone with nolan."can you guess where I am righ
'i never thought that this could happen but sometimes the things we least expect always happens.' "ERIKA!!!". "WATCH OUT!!!!".Everything went so fast that before I knew it or could do anything the car had crashed into me,I was already floating on air. 2 1.It took me two seconds to realize what had happened but I was unable to do anything as I fell down.i heard footsteps as someone was running towards me calling my name but I wonder why. I guess that's all I could remember before everything became pitch black............ The bed feels so soft and familiar but I have the feeling that it isn't my bed.i hear voices around me making so much noise that I want to ignore but somehow I couldn't.i open my eyes slowly coming in contact with the blinding lights making me flinch instantly.i immediately close my eyes for few seconds before opening it again,this time I turned my head towards my side. I blink a few times so I could adjust to the lights.i lo
5 years later.Right now,am in dilemma on what to choose.i stared at the pictures in front of me. "What do I choose?".I rub my lip as I rack my brain. There was a knock on the door briefly before it was opened."miss erica".I raised my head so I could look at the intruder. "Miss bailey?".I called staring at the woman standing in front of me in surprise not expecting to see her."what are you doing here?.I thought you were out of the country". "I already came back".miss bailey said smiling at me."I couldn't leave you alone with the work any longer.things might not go well".I chuckled at her words as I realized that she was right."well then I say my thanks". I signed up with a famous agency modeling for them so miss bailey was assigned to be my manager.she makes most of the decision since I wasn't good at making decisions.Honestly, there's not much I am good at except modeling for them. "It's no problem miss erica".she said."what's that by the way?".she asked pointing to the
"It's nice to see you so focused on work".a female voice says as she step in an office staring a man with a face of an ethereal god who was working."Am I the type to be unfocused to you maryl?".he said with his deep voice as he glanced at the female."You know that's not what I meant?".maryl said."these days you are always focusing on something else so..". maryl didn't finish her sentence but her point had been made.The male stared at maryl for a few seconds before he spoke."you must have nothing to do right?"."Oh save me the glare nolan".maryl scoffed."don't use your business tone on me.you know I won't fall for that"."What are you doing here in my office?". nolan asked staring at the female."Is it so wrong to go visit my brother when I miss him?".maryl questioned."is it such a bad thing to do?"."Just because you are my sister doesn't mean that you can barge in to my office anytime you feel like". nolan said."for whatever reasons you have"."So?".maryl looked at her brother thi
"Why do you like you didn't sleep well?".miss bailey commented as soon as she saw me."are you feeling okay?".I could see her give me a concerned look. "I am fine".I assure her hoping to get off the topic.she sighs then smiled at me."Are you ready erica?".she asked.she must have thought that I am not yet ready for the work."Perfectly ready".I said giving her a small smile."you worry too much miss bailey"."How could I not?".she asked."if you don't feel too good,we can skip today and work tomorrow". she suggests. To be honest,her suggestion sounds tempting but pilling up works isn't my specialty besides I don't want to give the workers a bad impression about me."I am okay"."If you say so".she scans the area before she pulled me with her."I will be back so wait for me here,okay?".I nodded at her."alright".I watch as she hesitate to leave. "Stay here, okay?". "What am I?.a kid?".I asked her."go do what you want to,I will wait here.i won't go anywhere besides it's not like i have t
