CHAPTER 2

Elena opened her eyes slowly, she was scared. She did not feel any pain, was this what death was like? She was blinded by the headlights that were still blinking at her but the car had stopped a few feet away from her. Elena stumbled backwards and blinked several times, trying to understand what was going on. The owner of the car opened the door and walked towards her, "Are you okay?" Elena was still trying to understand her surroundings so she could not fully register his words or what he was saying."Lady, are you okay?" Elena looked up at the man now, her vision was coming back and so was her memory. "I— I am,""You were not paying attention." He deadpanned. Elena walked backwards and tried to get a better look at him. He was so tall, he towered over her, dressed in an expensive-looking suit; his dark hair was messy, his nose pointed, lips pursed, his jawline was one of the best she had ever seen with a smooth stubble coating it and his brown eyes examined her to see if she was ok

CHAPTER 3

Elena walked into her sister's ward in the hospital, her heart was racing and she had been jumpy since. Ever since she took the money from that strange man she was on an all-time high. She paid her landlord all her outstanding rent that day and then paid in full for her sister's bills, she still had enough left over to fix her beat-up car and pay off some part of her remaining debts."Ellie?" Her sister perked up from the bed the moment she stepped in."Emily," Elena always got emotional when she was in that room. It was a different kind of pain seeing her sister strapped to several tubes to keep her organs working.Emily was a shell of her former self, she was easily tired, her smile had weakened a long time ago, her full hair had now become a thing and short, her eyes were dull and she was a lot thinner; seeing her like that always made Elena tear up but she held it in till she was away from Emily."I was not expecting you, don't you get off work by seven?" Even her sick sister was

CHAPTER 4

Sitting directly opposite someone but being alone seemed to become Elena's life for the next few weeks. She had reluctantly gotten into a relationship with Marcus, and it was not because she was a gold digger or anything; even if sometimes she felt like that. It was because Marcus asked, he looked bored when he did.It happened one night, they had just gotten back from another terrible date where they ate in silence, and before he dropped her off he said, "Elena, will you go out with me?" He looked straight ahead like he could not care less about her answer."Like tomorrow?" She asked sheepishly, Elena was trying to avoid coming to terms with what she thought he was asking. She knew for a fact that he had felt the terrible vibe between them, and there was no space for a romantic pursuit but he had asked anyways…could he not see it?"Like date me. Be my girlfriend, officially." Elena could not tell if the fact he was not looking at her was because he was shy or nervous, but he did not

CHAPTER 5

It was a late night. Elena had just finished her last shift and she was too energetic to go home. Marcus was busy with work, and it was way past Emily's visiting hours. Elena decided to just walk around the breezy city since she had no one else to spend the night with.It made her remember her college days before she dropped out. She was studying business administration at a college not too far from where she grew up but she was not exactly concentrated.She remembered being so young and stupid. She would skip classes a lot, get into trouble with authority and go out drinking or smoking on school nights. She was a smart girl, she had always managed to cover up some part of her syllables just enough to get a B in the exam and move on to the next year. Her parents had tried their best to make her some sense of responsibility but they were too far away to monitor her every move. She remembered Emily being so young, always looking up to her big sister that could do no wrong.No matter how

Chapter 6

"So when I was a kid, I used to get this same ice cream combination every time and it drove my mom crazy, she always wanted me to try something new," Gavin said, a smile on his face as he recounted his experience to Elena, who just watched him gleefully."Same. My sister is the adventurous type, any time we went out for ice cream it was a new flavour and a new combo, she was always so ready to experiment but—""You just wanted to stick to a safer option, huh?" Gavin asked. Elena smiled and nodded. It was as if he could read her mind. "I know what that feels like. Maybe one day we should try something different," Elena cleared what was left of her ice cream and stared at Gavin."Maybe, I'm willing if you are," Gavin smirked. He reached for a napkin and reached over to clean a smudge off Elena's cheeks to her utmost surprise. She blushed in return."Sorry, sorry. You just looked too cute with ice cream on your cheeks," Elena laughed. "Are you always this flirty?""No, I'm kind of shy a

"I— I'm sorry but I can't." Gavin stopped in his tracks, recalculating his steps. He stepped back and cleared his throat awkwardly. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. That was way too strong," he scratched the back of his neck, embarrassment engulfing him."I should not have. I think I'll leave." He turned to leave but she stopped him. "It's okay, I enjoyed today." "Me too, but I really should leave." Elena shrugged off his jacket and handed it to him. It was a lot bigger than her so it swallowed her. "Here," Gavin took his jacket and put it on."Thank you for tonight, and the jacket, " Elena said, trying to lighten the mood."I should be thanking you. It's been so long since I felt this normal,"Elena wanted to ask him what he meant but he had already begun walking off. Once more her thoughts drifted to Marcus and he had driven off that night after giving her a bundle of dollars.As she thought of it, her phone rang. It was Marcus. She was so shocked she watched it ring for a few seconds befor

Chapter 8

"You have not given me an answer, Elena" Marcus said as he shifted closer to Elena, he tilted her chin up and made her look at him in his eyes."Is this not what you wanted?" Marcus asked, tilting his eyebrow."I—" Elena stuttered. She could not form words anymore. Her anger had died down in her throat and she was too confused to move. Was he going to kiss her? He had to be bluffing."If you're not comfortable enough then," his words sent shivers down her spine, his touch on her chin was the cause of the goosebumps on her skin. Why did he have such an effect on her? Why did she let him?Marcus shifted away without another word. He buckled his seat belt and continued driving, leaving Elena in awe. "Why— why did you do that?""Because you wanted me to? I'm sorry if I invaded your personal space but you complain a lot, and I thought if I gave you what you wanted then you would not complain anymore."Elena gaped at him. "I do not complain a lot."Marcus did not say anything in return he

Chapter 9

"Excuse me?" Elena asked. The cafe suddenly felt hotter."You heard me," Isabel said, she maintained a predator look in her eyes but she still looked annoyed."I don't think I understand what you mean." Elena shifted in her seat, she was becoming uncomfortable by the moment and kept glancing towards the restrooms hoping Marcus would come out and end her misery."Why would he date you? You do not look like his type. Are you a model?" Elena shook her head, the intimidating stare Isabel gave her made her squirm in her seat."You are not a model, of course. You do not even look like one. So what is it that attracts him? You are not that beautiful, I mean, just look at your cheeks." Elena's hands instinctively went up to her face."Have you heard of the word diet?""Excuse me?" Elena asked, her cheeks heating up with anger and embarrassment."I'm not trying to be mean or anything it's just that there is nothing physically attractive about you." Isabel stood up, she seemed happy to have acc

Chapter 10

"You don't like sushi, do you?" Marcus asked, noticing the sour look on Elena's face as she moved her food around."I hate to be ungrateful but the idea of raw fish freaks me out." Marcus's lips tilted up a little in a smile. "I guess that's on me, what would you like? I'll order something else. What about Chinese food?""I love Chinese food," "Give me a minute." He stood up and walked towards his landline to make a call while Elena sat back staring at the platter of food.She and Marcus had talked more throughout the day than in their entire relationship of weeks and it made her feel giddy. And now he was ordering Chinese food for her.Her mind immediately went back to Gavin. She was surprised she had not thought about him most of the day, last night felt like everything but today her mind was only on Marcus and their little moment in the car."Food will take thirty minutes," Marcus said once he came back. "I'll go put these in the freezer. Meanwhile you can pick out a movie or some
