A week has passed since Kelsey's return and she was now fully settled in. She was no longer on medications but Denis didn’t let her skip any meal. He even made a time table that he put on her room walls so now every time she wakes up, the first thing she sees is a sheet of paper that reminds her when to eat. How romantic.She’s had nothing much to do since she got back, exams were over so school was not in the picture. Luckily, Peter made it his duty to always visit Kelsey every day. “Its me again!!” Peter yelled ceremoniously as he entered the house.“Don’t you know how to knock?” Denisglared at him and turn to face what he was doing. He was making breakfast, scrambled eggs for himself and Kelsey. “Knocking is for visitors.” Peter said and made himself comfortable on the couch, the couch practically swallowed him, Kate picked it out, it’s so easy to fall asleep on. Imagine doing a work meeting and being offered a couch like this, you’re bound to fall asleep.“You don’t live here, t
Even the ground beneath Denis’ feet felt his rage, the way he stomped on the grass as he walked was merciless, If the ground was a person— he'd probably be dead already.He's had enough of Kelsey and Peter, why does he even care? He’s just her fake mate, not her real mate. For all he knows, Peter could be her real mate, he wouldn’t want to hinder their “union” from happening.He's too pissed to even drive and he's definitely going to drink a lot, so there’s no use taking the car. He stepped out of the building and called a Lyft. The Lyft arrived after what seemed to Denis like an eternity but was actually just a few minutes, Denis entered the car and slammed the door shocking the driver. The driver opened his mouth to talk but his eyes caught Denis' glare from the rear view mirror and he kept quiet.During the ride, he tried to make small talk with Denis but all he got in response was deafening silence. He turned on the stereo to rid the car of the silence but turned it off when he c
Kelsey couldn’t stop the tears from falling, she let them fall freely. Denis thinks she’s sleeping with Peter? And he doesn’t even care? She should be happy that he doesn’t care anymore, at least now she gets to hang out with Peter but why does is it hurt? Even more than the fact that he thinks she’s sleeping with Peter?Does she want him to care? A shrill knock interrupted her thoughts, she knows who it is. They don’t get many visitors around here and only one person knocks like that.She uses the sleeve of her cloth to dry her face, peel herself off the couch and head for the door, she twists the knob and unveils a fully glamourized Janet. Hair, make-up, shoes, bag, everything was on point, like she was coming from a party or a date.“Heyy girl, I just thought I’d drip by, it’s been a minute. I hope I’m not interrupting anything?” She wiggled her brows at Kelseyand giggled. Kelsey fought to hold the tears back but she couldn’t. Janet just had to remind her of Denis. She doesn’t bla
Denis put down his drink and scurried out of the bar.“We’re good friends.”~~~ said to ~~~.He opened the door and saw Kelsey sprawled on the floor clutching onto a bag of chips, his eyes drifted to thee empty bottles of bourbon on the floor, he didn’t need a soothsayer to tell him that she’s had too much to drink.She threw the bag of chips in the air and mumbled “I hate you Denis.” Was she awake? Can she tell he’s here? He crouched next to her to check but she was sound asleep.He smiled. “I hate you too Kelsey.” He would love to sit next to her and listen to her mumbles the entire night but the place was a mess and one of them has to clean it. He gathered her in his arms and took her upstairs to her room and comes back to clean the place.The next morning, Kelsey wakes up with an astonishingly bad hangover. She looks around at the familiar walls of her room but doesn’t remember how she got there. She drags herself out of bed and opens the curtains, the light almost blinds her, she
“Thank you, you won’t regret this.” “I better not.” Kelsey said half smiling and half serious.“I promise, if you still don’t forgive me after this then you can leave.” Should she tell him that she already forgave him? No, she’d rather not, she wants to see what thing it is that he has up his sleeve that is making him so confident that he was going to be forgiven.“Fine.”“Thank you.” He meant it.Denis scurried out of the house like squirrel and Kelsey couldn’t help but blush. She went upstairs to her room, she only has a few hours left to prepare and she doesn’t even know where to begin. Her hair is a hot mess, unlike most girls, she can’t do her own make-up, she doesn’t have the slightest idea on how to combine colors and not come out looking like a clown, if she wants to have a shot at looking presentable, she had better start now.She reached for her phone that was lying at the far end of her bed and dialed Janet's number. Janet is the queen of fashion and handling emergency s
She’d always known she was pretty but right now, the entire world was about to know it too. Alice picked out a short pink gown with way too many openings that made it look likean unfinished work of a crappy tailor.“I’m supposed to go out in this? Kelsey asked trying her best not to sound like a nun or offend Alice. “On purpose?”“Don’t give me that look, you’ll look amazing in this dress.” Alice retorted.“It’s barely even a dress, Alice, look how many holes it has.”“Fine, would you prefer this then?” She asked dangling a shiny royal blue dress in Kelsey’s face.“Why didn’t you lead with this?” Kelsey said admiring the dress, she took it from her and rushed upstairs to try it on.“You have to be kidding me?!” Alice yelled after her but she heard the click sound of the door locking behind Kelsey.It was the click sound again, Kelsey was out of her room, everyone turned in the direction of the stairs, curios to see what she looks like in the dress, it was like awaiting Cinderella. Kel
“What?! Janet what do you think you’re doing? If this is a prank, you better stop it now while it can still be funny!” Kelsey was perturbed, every word came out in a rush, her mind was buzzing with disbelief, her courage was melting like a lit candle.“Who says it’s a prank? You know Kelsey, for months—a whole lot of months—I have watched you live my dream, waiting, searching for ways to take back what was mine and then voila!” She made fireworks with her hands. “An opportunity came.” Janet gave a maniacal laugh that shivers down Kelsey's spine.“All I had to do was get you another bottle and you blabbed, you kept going on and on andon, well, until you couldn’t. You blacked out. It was a shame, really, I was hoping you could tell me more.Janet's words were like an arrow to Kelsey's heart, a poisoned arrow, her limbs weakened. Betrayal.Pain.Guilt.Anger.She felt it all. She couldn’t even bear to look up at Denis, she could feel his eyes on her body, his stare lingering.“I'll make
