2024-10-29 19:42:56Kara snorted before she walked past him and went inside the house as if she owns it. He really wanted to ask her why she skipped classes, but Jake also felt a sense of appreciation towards her for showing up when he felt so lost.
After releasing a heavy sigh, Jake entered the room and found her standing in front of the electric fan, trying to cool herself. The weather was really hot that day, but Jake only realized it when Kara appeared.
Nevertheless, he was not planning to take away the only electric fan in the living room for her.
Jake cleared his throat before asking, "Have you eaten?"
She turned to look at him with a glare. “What? You are asking if I have eaten? Like you care to me still, Mr. Gutierrez?” Kara asked mockingly.
“What are you talking about? I still care about you,” He replied as if he was offended.
“Hmph! I haven’t seen you for days, Mr. Gutierrez. Like I completely disappear in your life

She stopped, and when she saw him, Jake felt the anger that she was feeling, but she would listen to him at least this time.Jake knew what he had to do, and seeing her directly, he said, almost begging, “Tara, forgives me, please. That was a trap from my friends. I don’t know what they told you, but none of that is true!”She looked at him skeptically, she seemed to remember the words that she had heard, and her anger seemed to grow more and more, her silen

When things turn out in the worst possible way, we always think about our decisions and why those decisions lead to these circumstances? In Jack’s case, it was living for love.Now, he finally understood in a very bad way that one cannot live only for love and disregard everything else, even completely forgetting to take care of himself or his future.If he was not better, how could he expect to make other’s feel better around him?Jack could not wait to go home. As soon as the time to go home arrived, he runs away and leaves the class. A part of him still wanted to talk to Tara and spend some time with her, but he was so ashamed to even pushed to that idea.He could not take the possibility that she would be looking at him with awkwardness just like earlier. Perhaps her friends would be worse than him.As he walked home, Jack had a lot on his mind. He was already outside the school, thankfully. So if he took his time on the way home, J

Jack and Kara talked for a few hours. The time passed by quickly, and he realized that he enjoyed his time with her, which did not happen to him recently due to his problems with Tara, then school.But of course, at the end of the day, he still needed to go home and face his parents or his sister.He badly needed help from his sister.When he entered the house, it took Jack a lot when he talked to my sister. Just like what he did before, he begged. Thankfully this time, his sister must have foreseen his difficulty, and then she silently went to his school the next day and processed his change of schools.In his lowest time, Jack realized who were the people who would that were true to him and genuinely cared about him.He still loved Tara, however, despite what happened. Jack convinced himself that she was just put in a difficult spot because of him. That's why she was so distant from him.Jack told Tara the news, and she said that it would

His expression hardened at the moment, and he knew it was foolish to trust her. Without paying an iota of attention, Jack turned my back on her and walked while saying.“So disappointing! I really thought that you had changed!” His voice was cold with unmasked anger towards Lisa.And with those words, Jack had kept walking. Falling into that nonsense was not something that would happen to him a lot. Jack knew that was nonsense, and he wanted to keep believing that way.He would have realized it if she had a boyfriend, he had already heard that before, but surely it was a lie. Also, Kara did not mention anything, so why would he believe others just like that?More than anything, he believed that a shy girl like Tara would not do that. That was just rumors.Jack got to the entrance and dodged the guard. He had done it so many times that Jack suspected the guard was simply letting him pass. The guard probably felt pity on him as he was sil

Jack was like a robot. He just did what he has to do, for his parents and sister to not worry. One of those days, he started writing a letter. At first, it was a letter to Tara, but it became a letter to himself little by little. Dear Jack, You lost everything, everything? And now you have nothing! Do you know how pathetic that is? If you know it because you are the one who lives it, and while you slowly die, other people are fine. Why this had to happen to you? I wrote that part above an hour ago, and I cried and thought, and now I want to tell you something else, friend. Do you remember that beautiful moment where she kissed you? It was something incredible right, and I want to ask you if you would change that moment if you knew the pain that it would bring now. It is difficult to decide for me too, it is difficult for me, but I assure you that the memory has not been tarnished. I know it is difficult. Now you have to repeat a

Millie was sited with her mother Teresa having their dinner. Conversations between the two were strained because, naturally, Millie was shy and an introvert. Their small family of two caused suspicion among their neighbors because neither mother nor daughter ever spoke a word to anyone.''I need to get to bed, mom. Thanks for supper, 'Millie said, getting up. She had barely touched her food, but she didn't feel hungry anymore. Her social life was a wreck, and she couldn't help but resent her mother for it.‘’I wish she had taught me the value of having other people in my life. I have to admit that I do envy some of the girls from my class. They seem to have everything figured out. ’Millie thought to herself.Her mother had not responded to Millie's comment, and knowing she wouldn't, Millie picked up her plate and went to the kitchen.

''Am so happy for you,'’ Selina said and went on telling Millie how she ought to be careful because she was meeting someone she had not met before. ''You can ask some friend to go with you. Though they should stay far but from where they can see you,''''I have heard so much about how things can go wrong on these online dates. The problem is that other than you, I do not have any other friends. Will you be free tomorrow? You could accompany me because it seems you are an expert at these. 'Millie responded.''I wish I could, but unfortunately, it won't be possible. I have to be at home to babysit my youngest brother. My parents will be out of town for the weekend, and my eldest brother isn't at home, which makes me the babysitter for the weekend. 'Selina replied.''I understand.

She knew she was. She made heads turn, and her presence alone could make even the strongest man weak to his knees. Single men, dating, married, poor or rich all wanted her, but she went for Paul thinking he was the saint he portrayed himself to be.She could have said no, but she was confused. He might change, she thought, but now he wasn’t going to.He proved that over and over again. Dorothy got tired but didn’t know how to break up with him, and she was grateful he was finally gone, although she didn’t like the circumstances surrounding that fact.“Here is your tea,” she said as she placed the cup of tea on the table before Aston in his studio. She took a few sips of hers before placing her cup on the table too. “The weather outside is beautiful today.”“Yes. Yes, it is,” Aston confirmed, although his eyes never left Dorothy. “How about we go somewhere else while this dries?” he suggested.“Sure.”Together with their teas in their hands, they walked out of the studio. Instinctively

Stella observed the interaction between the two, and once again, she knew she had lost Aston to Dorothy because he never looked at her the way he was looking at Dorothy, and that spoke volumes.Stella stood up and straightened out her dress.“I’ll check on you later, Aston, and nice to meet you, Dorothy,” she said with a smile and walked towards Steve.They bid each other farewell, and she left the room.Steve sat down in the chair Stella had just left vacant, crossing his arms over his chest again. He said with a strange emotion in his voice, “You mentioned something about you thinking Paul would change. Has he done something like this before?”Dorothy let out a heavy sigh before replying, “Yes. Yes, he has. Many times.”“Will you be able to testify against him in court?” Aston asked as calmly as he could.“Yes, I will. I think I’ve had enough of him,” she finalized.“Well, I admire your courage, my lady,” Steve commended, further encouraging Dorothy. “By the way, did you meet the pa

‘’We caught this young woman trying to force her way into the ward, and we suspect she might be part of the paparazzi,” the first police officer answered.Steve observed Dorothy noting that she looked familiar then he remembered her. ‘It’s fine, boys. Let her through.The police officers released her arms, and Dorothy threw them a disdainful look, then sent a grateful one Steve’s way.He opened the door for her, and she walked in, thanking Steve with a smile.Steve closed the door with a gentle click and faced Dorothy. “He’s right this way. I’m not supposed to say this, Dorothy, but he’s been expecting you.”Expecting her? Did he want to see her? Did this have something to do with her, or did he just want to see her? She wished it was the latter.Wait, this is Steve, Aston’s best friend and the owner of ‘From Our Hearts’ gallery, but how did he know her?Steve seemed to sense her conflicting thoughts. He sighed and then said, “I can assure you that there’s nothing to fret about, and w

She opened her eyes and brought her fingers up to see them coated with her juices— and Aston hair she had been supposedly pulling happened to be her shower curtain.She just fantasized about Aston pleasuring, but it was better than anything she had ever had with Paul, and the best part —she didn’t regret it.She wanted more of it. She wanted to make it real, so much that she was started to became inpatient and frustrated.The reality of her situation dawned on her when she got out of the shower. She stared at the ring on her finger, and for the first time, she felt trapped.The ring became heavy on her finger, and it began to feel like a heavy burden on her. She slipped the ring off her finger and placed it on the drawer bedside of the bed.Suddenly, she wasn’t sure she wanted to spend the rest of her life with Paul. She closed her eyes to picture Paul in her life as she had always done, but this time, Paul was replaced with Aston.And that moment, it became apparent to her that she w

Dorothy turned around to see Paul standing there, arms folded across his chest and his eyes shooting daggers at Aston, who ignored him, by the way.“So I’ll call you and let you know how it goes, okay?” Aston asked while looking at Dorothy, who nodded excitedly like a kid.Aston smiled and then replied, “Bye Dorothy, and take care of yourself.”“Okay!. Bye Aston, and thanks for visiting. It really means a lot,” Dorothy said, as she walked him to the door.He stopped for a moment and took a look at Paul, who was still standing in the doorway.“And you too, Paul. It was nice to meet you,” she added, and with that, he walked out of their flat without waiting to hear Paul’s grunt of a response.Not wanting Paul to ruin her mood, Dorothy hopped past the grumpy Paul happily to their bedroom, humming a song.The only thing in her head was that her art was going to be at an exhibition– something she never expected to happen.For the rest of the day, Dorothy was in high spirits humming a favor

Dorothy turned around with a smile. “Hello Mr and Mrs Harris. Wonderful weather we have today, yeah?”“Absolutely,” Mrs. Harris chirped while Mr. Harris only nodded.“Let’s go in,” she said to Aston leading the way. “How do you like your tea?” Dorothy asked as they entered her flat, locking the door behind them.“Anything is fine, thank you,” he replied with a smileDorothy walked to the kitchen, and moments later, the sound of a kettle whistling was heard, followed by cabinets opening and closing.Aston took this time to observe the interior decor of the flat. It was an average-sized flat with clean white walls decorated with prints of beautiful paintings.Different artifacts, frames, flower vases, and books sat well arranged on the shelf.Wine-colored drapes framed the windows, and the inner lace curtains remained drawn, allowing the sun rays to enter, casting a golden sheen into the living room. The decor was simple yet beautiful and welcoming.This reminded Aston of the typical co

“Oh, thank you so much. You have no idea how much this means to me. And believe me, when I say coming from you means so much more,” she said.“I thought I was doing horribly, so I stopped painting for a while. I only began painting again when I came across your works in a gallery. I was in awe of hyperrealism. It was magnificent, and I knew I wanted to know how to paint like you,” she explained excitedly. “Meeting you here might be the best thing that has happened to me this year.”It was Aston’s turn to feel flattered, and he did ever so much. He had received a lot of compliments, but in a weird way, Dorothy appreciating his art made him feel he did something for someone, and it made him feel good.“I’m sure you’ll learn a lot from this class, and I can give you pointers if you want.”“You know I didn’t exactly enroll for this class. Mrs. Michael is my aunt, and she just allows me to join in and last week was my second time here.”“That makes sense. I didn’t think you paint. I though

For heaven’s sake, he wasn’t some teenager going through hormonal changes, so why couldn’t he stop thinking about Dorothy’s body and, even worse, smiling and blushing at the memory.‘’I guess we can now deduce my idea wasn’t laced with foolishness after all,’ Steve said with the smug look still on his faceAston scoffed, rolling his eyes at him, and said, “Don’t get ahead of yourself. I am still not convinced the class will do me any good.”“We’ll see about that, mate. We’ll see.”The whole weekend felt like torture to Aston. He longed to see Dorothy again, and it seemed the weekend was taking too long to end.Everything was confusing to him; what he was feeling about Dorothy and why he was feeling that way didn’t make any sense to him, but he just wanted to see her again.When Monday finally came, Aston could hardly wait till 3 pm when classes started, and by 12 pm, he was already at the building waiting for Dorothy to show up, but she didn’t.Class started, and she was still nowhere

In one swift moment, a bang was heard, and the whole dining table came crashing down, sending a wave of shock throw Dorothy.She had seen this happen so many times, but she could never get used to it. He promised to change.He said he was going to be better, but after two years and nothing had changed.The last time, it was the TV that suffered it, which took a while to replace, and now, the dining table had also felt the impact of Paul’s fist.The table was ruined; dinner was ruined too.“You love being a whore, eh? You love letting different men run their hands all over your body under the guise of art, right?” He barked the vile words pacing the dining room.The words made her feel she had just been prickled with over a hundred pins.“I am not a whore, Paul!. I am not! I love art, and you know it!” She yelled at him.He scoffed before he said, “Oh c’mon. You’re just using art as a cover-up. You enjoy the way these so-called artists of yours touch you.”He then grabbed her shoulder
