LilyThe day after Evan was brought from the hospital, they decided to attended school. I was hesitant to let him go as I am afraid that he might not yet be at his best.But he really wanted to go to school, so I’ve got no other option but to just make sure he’s really fine.I planned on staying at the house to do some chores and just in case his teacher calls me for Evan, I will be able to attend as soon as possible. While Wade was out to somewhere I had no idea.As a knock rang behind the door, I went to attend to it. I wasn’t expecting any visitor today, not even Mandy so I was surprised to know someone’s outside.“Lily, can I talk to you for a minute?” the seriousness of Aiden’s voice immediately made me nod, widely opening the door to let him in.There was no hint of joy on his voice including his face as if he’s here for something serious and important.I lead the way to the dining table as he followed.“It’s about your twin sister, Lauren,” he announced, pulling out a chair on
LilyBut would it make any difference if I by any chance answered that text message? I could have save Lauren from anything that might harm her. But I did not.Am I the one to blame? She left her twin babies with me leaving me no other choice but to stand as their mother.“Lily? Did you hear me? Did Lauren had left anything?” Aiden impatiently asked.I told him everything that I remembered before leaving. But he doesn’t seem to be satisfied with it.“Is that the only message the text was containing? Did you read it through? Or remember the number at least?” Aiden continuously asked, leaving me surprised and in awe.I understand that he wants to find Lauren for me, but the dedication and time he was putting here is undeniably questionable.He seemed to be doing this not for me anymore. I wanted to think he actually knows my twin sister, but I also knew I would only be fooling myself to believe that.“That was the last thing I could remember,” I declared, apologetically looking at him.
LilyAfter making sure Evan and Zoey entered the room, I thought Wade would as well isolate himself inside his room. But I was completely wrong when he stepped into the dining room and leaned by the wall near the table with his hand slid in his pockets.His eyes were carefully watching me with his squinted eyes as if he was trying to read what was going inside my mind.I was confused by his sudden action and was about to ask him what he was doing when the chair beside me made a creaking sound.Aiden stood up from it with his eyes fixed on Wade intently. Meanwhile, Wade’s eyes, which were on me a while ago, were as well as Aiden’s now.They were looking at each other with tension visible on their eyes. Aiden’s hand was clutched into a tight fist while Wade’s eyebrows were furrowed along with his clenching jaw.I felt like they both just holding themselves back and could burst out any second by now. That’s why I held Aiden’s arm just to get his attention. Within a second, he turned back
LilyI could still feel heat burning through my skin remembering the scene a while ago. It’s just ridiculous how I am so affect while Wade doesn’t seem to even bother.I buried my face with my hands as I stomped my feet in embarrassment. I was determined to stay inside our room until I made sure Wade was already gone. And take that time to feed my twin's dinner because Wade usually leaves before dinner.As I don’t want to see him any sooner!Unfortunately, a knock appeared behind the door. Thinking it was Wade, I just wanted to ignore it. But I couldn't let him see how affected I was.Opening the door, I was right that it was him.He was smiling from ear to ear as he put his hand over the door as if it would prevent me from shutting it close anytime soon.“Why? What do you need?” I asked just to end the conversation as soon as possible.Wade chuckled, “Why didn’t you go out of the room?”“Do you need anything or not?” I bluntly repeated my question.“Whoa, calm down. What you saw is j
IrisI did the things I didn’t imagine I could do just for him. I did everything.Everything just for me to be noticed by him. Just for me to believe that I actually deserve someone like Wade. That I will someday get his attention if I do everything.So being engaged with Wade is something I worked hard for. I don’t know what with Lily that Wade loved her too much and can’t even throw his attention to anyone but her. It appears that she poisoned him like a drug Wade coudln’t get enough of.Back then when we were in college, the first time seeing him I already knew Wade was my dream man. I promised myself I’d end up with him even though I knew he had a girlfriend.I tried to do everything just to get his attention, but I always failed as his eyes were always on Lily. She was nothing but a nerd and such an old-fashioned style woman. She is nothing compared to Wade.That’s why when I found out Lily had gone out of nowhere and left Wade alone. I took that chance with him.He was left wo
IrisOne of the things I hate the most is those who waste my time.I fixed my huge sunglasses that almost covered half my face before I pulled out the chair in front of me and lazy sat down with my arms crossed across my chest.“What is this for? Haven’t I made myself clear with my instructions?”“Calm down,” he chuckled, raising both his arms in the air. “I just wanted to meet you of course for money,” he added, shrugging. My eyes squinted. Does he think I’m that stupid to even waste my money with him without having Lily’s twin in my hand? I may be desperate but I still know how to play these games.I scoffed, “Get your work done and you’ll get the money.”“Oh, come on, Iris. You should know I cannot do that alone. I need men to h—”“How many men do you need?” I cut him off.“No, no. I already got the men. I just need money for them to move.” I rolled my eyes, seeing this conversation won’t end without him getting what he wants. Moreover, this man already built his credentials for
EvanAs soon as the school bell rang as an indication that our class had ended for the day, with Zoey’s hand intertwine with mine we rushed out.We are very excited to see Mommy and tell her the high scores we both got for an activity today. We continue to walk further hoping to see her somewhere, however, we didn’t see her waiting for us anywhere nearby.“Where’s Mom?” Zoey asked, wandering her eyes around.And although Mommy’s usually never late in fetching us from school, I got to stay optimistic.“Perhaps she’s just late since it’s a new school and not very near at our house. But don’t worry, Zoey, Mommy will come and fetch us.”Zoey nodded. “We should wait for her by that sched! It’s kind of hot here.”I agreed with her idea and was about to head to the waiting sched when a woman suddenly showed up in front of us.She was wearing a huge black hat and a brown sunglasses which didn’t allow us to see her face.“Hello there, kids,” she sang as she crouched down in front of us. But be
LilyI was supposed to left my workplace fifteen minutes ago, but these two customers who just arrived and were in a rush, so I decided to take their orders before leaving since the restaurant is really filled with a lot of customers right now.But before I could successfully leave, their orders were ready to be served and my other co workers were preoccupied with other customers.I thought that it wouldn’t even take me a minute to just serve their orders that’s why at the end I just served their foods.“Here’s your order, Ma’am,” I politely said, placing the plate down.After successfully giving their orders, with the tray on my hand, I turn around to leave. However, just a second after turning back, I heard them calling me. ‘“Hey! You! Get back here!”Their loud voices, catches the attention of our other customers that made me quickly attend back to their table.“Yes, Ma’am. Is everything all right?” “Are you stupid? How can you serve us foods with bugs on it?!”“What if we didn’t
