I was once looking forward to today but now every bit of excitement I felt earlier has disappeared now that Sasha was to accompany me on my little exploring journey. Last time I checked she wasn't too fond of me, it made no sense that she was trying to get close I knew there was a close chance that she's up to something but I told myself to relax and let the plot expose itself, either way I kept my guard up just in case.My first stop after leaving the house was my favorite restaurant. Sasha, looked at me as if I were alien while we stood before the mini restaurant building, "didn't we just have breakfast moments ago?" Truth is I have not adjusted to their form of dieting yet even when I worked there I barely tasted any of their foods. Not like anything was wrong with except most of my favorite foods were street foods which explains why after breakfast every morning I'd never be satisfied and would always sneak here to satisfy my cravings. It works every time and today I was craving
Hand in hand, we marched towards the battleground, prepared for the imminent clash. Little did we know, the scene we expected to witness had vanished into thin air by the time we arrived. Surprisingly, this news brought a wave of relief over me, for it meant we could finally find respite and indulge in a meal at this restaurant. However, as I glanced at my companion's countenance, a sense of sorrow clouded her features, prompting me to swiftly adjust my own expression."I apologize for my excitement," I murmured, realizing the weight of my previous elation. "Now that I have what I desired, should I succumb to a breakdown?" It dawned on me that the confident demeanor she had worn was merely a facade, a shield to ward off the tormentors that plagued her. Beneath that facade lay a wounded soul.Observing her crestfallen expression when she discovered the girl had vanished without a word, I sensed her longing for a confrontation with her. She settled into the vacant space beside her, invi
As Sasha devoured her second feast of the day, I gently tapped her, capturing her attention. "Listen," I began, "I know you're thrilled about our newfound friendship, but we must keep it a secret, away from the prying eyes of Gina and the others."With a mouthful of rice, Sasha replied, "Of course, I'm not a fool. I understand that. To be honest with you, the reason Gina allowed me to visit was to shake things up in this household, which also explains why I've been drawn to you."I had already sensed Gina's ulterior motives from the start. "You don't have to blame yourself for that," I reassured Sasha. "I knew the moment I laid eyes on you at that table."Suddenly, Sasha interrupted my thoughts, her mouth still full. "You know, I think you're far too exceptional for a man like Cameron," she blurted out, causing me to pause in astonishment. But she didn't stop there."In fact, you're too good for this entire household. Though I've known them for years, I can't help but speak the truth,
When Sasha and I arrived home that evening after walking around all day, we put up an act pretending to be at odds. And just as expected Gina appeared to be loving the show meanwhile I was almost dying from laughter on the inside. Oh, how easy it was to fool her.At least I was thankful that I had a friend now, some one to confide in. Ever since that day I haven't set my eyes on Ruth. I suddenly remembered that I had purchased a car that day, along with my belongings that were forgotten. I knew I would have to go back for them sooner or later, but first I must prepare my mind. I walked into the room with a yawn but was however forced to pause mid air upon finding Cameron sprawled across the bed. He eyed me distastefully before proceeding to question my whereabouts, "where have you been?" In that deep husky tone that let me know he's about to snap. I was at the verge of panic until it hit me that he was present this morning when Gina asked me to show Sasha around."Weren't you at the
I was shocked when he moved closer to me cradling my sobbing form, this caused me to cease crying and look up and him but Cameron's attention was directed elsewhere as he slowly rubbed my back. "I didn't mean to be harsh but the truth is I'm the one who got you into this mess." He admitted with a sigh, "if we weren't married neither of those women would be after you. While he wasn't wrong, I have never for once blamed him. I wanted to tell him that it was fine and we would eventually pull through this but it seemed like he wasn't done talking yet. "I'd hate myself if something happened to you."That took me by surprise and even caused my heart to skip a bit, not only was he worried about me he was also admitting it to my face. I couldn't help but notice that he seems a bit off today, but I'm not complaining it seems to be a good thing rather. "And I'm not saying this because I'm in love with you or anything." His voiced filled the air once, and I chuckled barely holding myself bac
"What would I ever do without you?" Cameron exclaimed, it felt as though he was exaggerating. I couldn't seem to understand the source of his happiness, yet I pretended to be happy with him. Done swinging me around I was released back to my position while he stared at me with a huge grin. "Why are you so excited anyway?" I couldn't believe he had forgotten our moment together, honestly it left me slightly pissed but still I felt relieved that the story turned out to be false. I don't know what I would've done if it were to be true. "You do not seem to understand the gravity of the situation at hand." Cameron spoke, "with the accusations levelled against me, no doubt my reputation would go down in smoke except you have saved me from that harsh fate."He seemed really grateful, I could tell the smile on his face was genuine. "So what will you do next?""Prove my innocence of cause!"Just as I had expected him to respond, "I would love to stay back and hear more about how you plan to a
The room was in disarray but it didn't take long for everyone to get into position. I saw a middle aged woman approach, joining us on the high table, and even though I was sitting down on Cameron's lap that didn't deter her from winking at him. I turned my face to the front pretending not to notice. Soon they commenced filming, she questioned Cameron about his recent scandal, he seemed eager to accept the question but what I didn't know was that he would push me to the war front."My wife here can explain what happened that night." He said with a proud smirk on his face, suddenly everyone's attention was focused on me. I froze momentarily trying to piece my thoughts together. Nervous as I was I knew I had to do this, in order to prove his innocence. I won't leave my husband alone to the wolves, so I wiped my sweaty palms against the skirt I had on preparing myself to speak. "We we're together that night.. at home." My voice was barely audible. The woman appeared confused as if she
Just when I thought he was finally going to bring down his walls and open up to me, he turned his face away leaving me feeling disappointed. But I chose not to voice out my thoughts, with a man like Cameron taking baby steps is what is needed. A week ago we weren't here, surely by the next one we'll be somewhere different. Without saying a word to me he kickstarted the engine zooming off in an instant. I couldn't help but notice that all through the ride he appeared troubled, it made want to give him a hug but I kept still. Suddenly a honk from the side caused me to jump in my seat, placing a hand over my beating heart. I shot my gaze outside the window to see where the commotion had emerged from. To my surprise it was no other than Cecilia, chilling in a sports red car that I found to appear oddly familiar. Upon putting pieces together I was struck with disbelief, surely that could not be my car right?She rolled down her sunglasses blowing Cameron a kiss. He had a not so welcomin
