Gracie pushed the glass doors open and entered the eatery.

It was free of people. It wasn’t even 10 yet. Which means her mum is yet to come.

She walked to the first order counter.

For the first time in her life, she seemed to be observant of all the stares she was getting from people along the street.

I mean they seem to look at her with this ‘I know you are fucking’ look.

Was there probably a sign that shows when someone just had sex that she was portraying or what?

Or stares have always been coming in, but she never noticed?

She really felt ashamed walking down the street, but now in her mum's eatery, she felt alive again.

“hi.” She said to the girl there getting in the counter.

“Gracie.” She called surprised and looked around. 

She didn't even know the girl’s name yet. But she's the most friendly of all her mum's staffs.

“My mum... she's coming l

    The drive to his house was silent. They didn’t engage in any discussion… okay except when he gave her his jacket to put on when they were stuck in traffic.I mean she tried to refuse but he insisted.Later he increase the volume of the music in the car, even if they were both singing it, she couldn’t hear his voice nor hers.He finally pulled off somewhere. She looked around.They were many ghetto houses without gates. He smiled.“we are here.” He said. She hesitantly nodded and placed her hand on the seat belt hook wanting to unhook it.But then she couldn’t stop looking around.She couldn't believe he lives in the slums. She never knew.His other life was freaking rich.But he said it himself, he thinks someone id trying to kill him there.So he shouldn’t have to go back to his past.“Let me help you.” He placed his hand on hers and helped unh

    “mum stop!” she wanted to yell but she could only mutter.Seeing her mum this hurt and pushy was making her want to tear up. “baby…” “stop!” her voice already in teary whisper. “stop… please.” Gracie palmed her face and sat on the bed. She was tired already from all the pressure to go back to the hospital and the fights and tears.What was the point of the hospital! She was gonna die anyway!It didn’t matter how soon, she was gonna die! That was the point! She wanted to be strong for herself, she really wanted to be.The last thing she needed was her mum's tears or begging again. “i'm going to die mum.” She’s said clearly and looked up at her mum. “I'm going to die.I don’t see any point of wasting time and resources.Please… God! I so hate hospitals now. Their stench… it's unbearable.... the whole drugs stuff... I just wanna go insane!” She sniffed and wiped her eyes.They was silence for a short w

    “it's him.” “Yeah right. My boyfriend to be.” Emma replied placing her hand round Gracie’s shoulder.She swatted the hand off. “be serious… it's him. The Andre guy 2 years ago.The one who blocked me on WeChat and Insta when he found out I was gonna die.” She said. Emma gave her a furrowed brow. “You mean your first and only crush. Your childhood sweethrt?” Emma said with a mocking chuckle. Gracie scoffed. Childhood sweetheart that she had never met eye to eye. “really? This is so lame. Just say you like him.”Emma gave her a look. “yes I know I never met him one on one.But we had countless video calls... his eyes.I can never forget his green eyes. Never.” She said.But hold on, he is supposed to have black hair. So why blonde now?He must have dyed it. “Gracie it cant be. You never get the cool guys… remember.” Emma said. “I’m not kidding here....his tattoo… the byname he used to call m

    A nasty shrieked escaped her lips and she palmed her mouth.Jeez, that was embarrassing.What’s wrong with her?“sorry … uh… Hi.” She brought down her hand. She stared at him properly.Andre had black hair but he had blonde, Andre lives in Arizona not California.So it’s possible It’s not him.But then, what about the tattoo.Exactly on the same spot, the same words, the same color.Exactly the picture he had sent to her. The same skin color.What about his rare green eyes?It’s Definately him. She concluded making up her mind not to think about it again.“hi.” She said again.He soffed and eyes raped her.“I… hmm...” She cleared her throat not comfortable with his stares. “ I loved your singing… today... I mean yesterday. Or yesterday and today.It was awesome.” She smiled nervously.

    And his name... the woman called him Andre?Could that be his real name? The name sounded familiar like he had heard it that day or the previous day.Then he remembered, Yeah... that girl at the supermarket. Hold on... She was acting weird at the supermarket.They bumped into each other and he walked past but they also followed him.And he was sure she called Andre. Could that be what triggered the memories?Does she know him? * “oh god ha ha aaaaah this is sooo...!” Emma laughed like a freak and fell lying on the bed. “stop it! My mum will hear you!” Gracie muttered. That was the 17th time she was watching the video if she wasn’t mistaken. “birdie… let me be okay. Lemme laugh was loud as I want... ahhaaa.” Emma laughed and started the video over again. “you looked so shameless and I love it.” She added.Was that supposed to be a complement? Gracie asked herself. A phone started

    As he was about taking another sip from his drink, he sighted her climbing the short stair. He paused for a while, or maybe it was just her imagination. He finally gulped down everything in the cup and placed it down.She saw Emma behind him with the camera.She couldn’t stop smiling as she took her seat opposite him. * “oh... hi.” She sat opposite him and waved a little. He just stared at her bluntly without a word.His only business there was to find out if she knew him.He just had this feeling that they had met before... that was since he had that dream last night. She sighed and looked down at his cup sadly... or embarrassed... or regretfully.He doesn't even know. “Hi.” He finally said and took his eyes off her. He turned more drink into his glass. “eh... wait.” She stretched as if she wanted to stop him.He stared at her and she froze. He stared at her hand and she immediately withdrew it.Does

    It was him. It was really him.Putting on a funny-like shirt.She drew in a deep breath and placed her hand on the door knob twisting it open.“surprise.” She let out a squeak as she opened the door.His looks was replaced with a confused one one seeing her.He suddenly scoffed.“i should have known.” He took a glance at the delivery receipt.“Gracie Riles. I'm stupid.” He muttered. She chuckled lightly.Maybe he chuckled too... or it was just her imagination.She took the note pad from him and signed on it giving it back.“thanks for patronizing Chestnuts Pizzeria.” He said. She chuckled again and took her delivery.“oh please drop the courtesy.”“okay... this is ours.” he separated the three receipt slip and took two giving her one.“and this... is yours.” she took here receipt from him.“why dont

    Alec got off her frustratedly and moved to the other end of the bed.“this is the worst sex I’ve ever had!” He yelled. She moved to the other side of the bed. Her legs were aching.“just so freaking stiff! So what if you’re a virgin! Huh?” she heard him say. She wiped her wet face. Was he really yelling at her like that?Ugh. She thought she was tipsy until the pain of having sex sobbered her up.Why was it that painful? that wasn’t what Emma told her. That definately wasn’t what she browsed about.He kept ranting all sort of things about her being so annoying.She closed her eyes and decided to ignore him and sleep. She pulled the duvet up to her chest.By tomorrow, the pain might all be over.*Her eyes slowly opened. It was pretty bright unlike previously.Could it be that it was already dawn?She touched her face, it was all dried and messy.Dried

    “you're not ready? Why?Are you a virgin?” he asked sarcastically? How did he know?She gulped nothing down and shifted her gaze to the ceiling.Oh god... Emma said it's not a good thing for people to know that you're a virgin.“I said I’m not ready... I didnt say I’m a virgin.”“shit. I see now. You're a virgin?” he somewhat found that funny. He chuckled lightly letting her hands go.He caressed her face. No wonder she had two sides.“so... I am going to be your first right?” he asked. She stared at him without a word.... she didn’t admit she was a virgin, how could he just jump into conclusion.Was it that obvious?“I am going to be your first.” He said again.“crazy... let's go to the party.” she said half shyly, half not happy that he found out.He smiled.*She was nervous.

    Who freaking wants to wear his frigging manly clothes!So funny.“okay.” She said. She couldn’t care less.And she walked past him admiring the beauty and might of the room.But she suddenly felt something, his hand on her waist.“what are you doing?” she moved away from him at once.Okay... the real question is what was she doing? Boyfriends are supposed to touch their girlfriends. Right?Did she ever think of these things before agreeing to date him? Of course she didn’t.“I... I mean we are missing a... a party... At the back off...... Lets hurry.” She stuttered. He smiled and walked close to her and pulled her cheek a little before walking past.“about that...” He took the nasal cannula off his nose.“... what are you doing?” she asked. “the last time you did that... you... you said you couldn’t breathe.” She said. He s

    Twisting her fingers she stared at him.“One condition. Okay then.so you agree to be my woman?” he asked. She bit her lips.Oh shit! Is it too late to go back on her words?“yes, I agree.” She said nervously.He smiled.“why dont you show me how sincere that is.” He said. She shrugged. What does he mean?Wasn’t he the one pleading a while ago? Tiss. What a guy.“why dont you give me a kiss.”“huh?”So this was where he was driving at? She should have known!She scowled at him and he smiled cockily.*“I’ll be right back.”She said walking to her room stairs.“Okay.” She heard him say.She needed to be away from him to finally breathe well and think about what she had just done.I mean she just agreed to date Alec.Could she have made a stupid mistake just now?

But I didn’t want him to change his mind about reading my books.So I just st...”“who cares about your book... uh... so annoying.” Emma snapped and stood up. She strode to the window.“you won’t believe how he complimented my writing skills.He even asked to be my tutor. To me, I think that is just an excuse to keep seeing me.” Gracie said dreamily.Emma scoffed.“you are so... infact forget it.”Gracie wondered why Emma was being paranoid like always. Isn’t this a good thing?She smiled having some 》flash backs.《“this is a glass of lemonade, vodka with lime, water and wine.And I didn’t mean for this to rhyme.” She said the last part very low as she placed each one on t

    "you're inviting me to your room," he asked and that rare smile appeared on his lips. Oh god. That was so dreamy. she thought.she nodded. "mn."he scoffed. so shameless of her.but he knew she was just as harmless as she was shameless.He nodded negatively. They was no need going into her room before he finds out what he wanted to."I don't think it's proper." He said."huh? but you said we are friends. You should see what my room looks like.""right now... I only have appetite for one thing. And that is reading." he said. her brow furrowed.He was probably too rude."uh... i said for now." he said. she grew a sad look but he could tell that she was faking it... she was more of disappointed. What was she upto?"Do you know that reading calms the mind and takes away 30% of our stress." he asked her brow crumpled more.He raised a brow and she chuckled. that was definately
