ACE I wonder what is taking Aunty so long to be back. She told me she need to hear something from her friend's store and she is here to come back. Her boyfriend must be with her I guess. I rolled my eyes at the fact that she has a boyfriend at her age.I finished the whiskey in my hand. I have been upstairs since I woke up. I didn't have the strength to go to the office today and coupled with the fact that I have visitors, I needed to stay back.I had already showered and taken some breakfast but that would be three hours ago. I got out of the room and trotted downstairs. The sitting room was filled up with lots of them.I still don't get why they are here. I hate that I have lots of people in my house. " Look who finally graced us in his presence," said my mom's sister She has a lot of resemblances with my mom. They share some features. I rolled my eyes at them all. They laughed. They were already used to this side of mine " Heard that you are getting married ?" Her husband aske
ACE"What if she hates me right now ?" I asked this bugging question " then make it up to her again. I'm sure there is still a chance left for you" she said with a smile" I don't think I have a chance, Aunt. I hurt her beyond repair. I said things I shouldn't have said. I'm sure she sees me as a monster now " I was ashamed of myself She gave me a look of pity and that is what I hate the most. I hate to be pitied " What did you do to her I couldn't fight it anymore so I told her everything that happened. The things I said and did to her and how she resigned from work. I had felt somehow since then. I couldn't concentrate anymore. I always think about her and her expression that day. I wish I could turn back time and correct my wrong.I just can't get this whole thing out of my head. I need her beside me. I need Allyson. I'm tired of pretending. I want her to myself alone and not with anyone else."That was harsh of you. You don't make a girl feel used and then dump her. That is th
AllysonHave I ever mentioned that I hate my friends? If I didn't then I'm mentioning it now. These two are the worse friends ever. I can't believe how they convince me to come to a place like this. I thought it was going to be a nice restaurant but it turned out to be the worse restaurant ever. I glared hard at them. They all look guilty On second thought, I knew they were only trying to help out here. I told them I resigned and then they forced the reason out of me. This is their idea of making me feel better which turn out to be the worse outing ever.I let out a sigh "Please let's just go home " Don't get me started on the hours we waited to have dinner. And then when dinner came, the food tasted disgusting and to top it all, the price was just too high for that kind of food. I offered to pay for my meal even though they wanted to pay. I was tired of the free things I get from them."We are so sorry Ally. You know we didn't know this was going to happen " said Bella sadly I rol
He smiled but I can see that he was damn nervous. I could only stare at him and he saw how speechless I was. What does he expect me to say? That I love him too? Of course, things are not done that way." you don't mean what you said, Seth. Please don't do this " I pleaded" I know it's hard to believe. I get it. I've known you now for just a few days but don't you think it's possible to fall in love? I have never felt this way about a girl since I met you"He approached me holding my hand. Seth kissed the back of my hand " I don't know why I feel restless not being close to you. These few days have been hard on me. I tried to give you space after the kiss we shared but it felt like I was only punishing myself "" I don't know what to say " I whispered " I can understand, " he said "Please give me the chance to show you how much I love you"" what if I don't love you like that in return ?" I asked with a shaky voice " I'll be good with whatever energy you return. I can't stand being
I never knew they will be so early. Martha removed the blanket from my body. I slept off on the couch. How the hell did they her in?I realized they also have a key too. I shouldn't have given them. I'm the one suffering it at the moment. I got up glaring at them. They both look at me sheepishly as if they did nothing wrong. I was annoyed with them at the moment. I thought I was going to have a peaceful rest but they jinx that. I groaned loudly " what do you want !" I asked in annoyance "We want you to get up and prepare. We have somewhere to be at the moment " they said wiggling their brows at me " we can always get a car in the afternoon why this early?" I asked " because it's cheaper in the morning " Martha chirped inI furrower my brows confused "How is that possible? Is the car price not constant ?" " yes, it is. What they do is, the first buyer for the day gets a huge discount ""Really?" " yep. Now you see why we need to be as early as possible before anyone first us" Be
This is not happening at the moment. I was so enjoying my day only to find my sister standing at the doorstep. She wore a wide smile " I thought you were never going to open the damn door ""Excuse you! This is my home and I get to open it as I please " I said to her sternly.She rolled her eyes but came in nevertheless "You don't need to be rude about it "I scoffed "You don't get to cuss in the presence of my daughter "" oh please she can't hear what I said " she scoffed " she doesn't need to understand it but the familiarity she gets with the words is what I don't want " I explained where I'm going from She let out a sigh " ok sorry about that. I won't do that again""Just tell me why you're here uninvited in the first place," I asked. I don't get why she is here in my house at an hour like this. I haven't seen Diane since the last party we went to with my friends. At the party, I met Seth." my wedding date is set and I want you to be present on that day " she revealed "What!
I was dressed for lunch today. I decided to take Amelia for today's lunch. I don't why but it's my wish. I wore a simple yellow gown. It was simple and nice. I applied a little lipgloss to my lips. I smiled a little loving the fact that I was beginning to get back my beauty. It wasn't as if I was not that beautiful but then, I was a little Chubby. I've noticed how slimmer I was now becoming. A healthy one at that. I wasn't starving myself. Of course not. I've been having a lot to eat and I decided to reduce some calories in the food that I take. I guess that's why I look this slim. It's working out for me. It doesn't work out for others. We human beings are different and we have different types of body systems. I love mine though. I chuckled at the thought. To think that I was made because I can't seem to love my body when I gave birth. All thanks to Martha and Bella for trying to constantly remind me how beautiful I was. I feel stupid having those thoughts back them. I should be pr
I forced a smile on my face " I Was beginning to wonder where you went off to"She chuckled " I went to get Mom and Dad," she said pointing at them as they walk down the stairs "Sure," I said with a strained voice. I was the bad egg after all so I decided not to greet not that they are glad to even see me here. We should keep the same energy." you brought her?" My stepmom asked. I knew she doesn't want to see me here. She should have at least pretended to like me even if it was just for today but this woman would rather show her hatred for me in front of the whole world. I knew I shouldn't have come."Mom!" Diane tried to scold her mother " what? I thought this was meant to be a family lunch " she said " that's enough. She is family too" Dad said surprisingly. I would have sworn that he doesn't want me here too." I can always leave if you want me to, " I told them with a shrugged "Please don't go. I want you here " Diane said stopping me " Can we at least try to be nice at least
I held my phone while I stared at Ace's number. The number was staring at me waiting for me to call him but I couldn't. I didn't know how to tell him to come over to see me .on another thought, I don't think it's a best idea to invite him over. I wouldn't want what happened the last time to happen again. I can't bear that. I can't repeat the same mistakes all the time, never.Mrs. Clara took Amelia home with her. She promises to take good care of her since I have a meeting with Ace. That woman has been so supportive of me. She makes things easier for me and I like that she is trying to fill that space she missed since I was young. Dad is aware that she is in town and he hasn't said anything about it. He hasn't come to check on me. I shook my head, why would I think he'd care to come to talk to her. I don't know why he has to be my father. There are lots of good men out there and nothing like Dad. I don't know why I was blessed with a father like him.If only Mom had nothing to do wit
I went ahead to pick up my daughter from her daycare. Her face looks so soaked with tears. The nanny told me that she had been tearing up since I dropped her. I wonder what the problem could be. I kissed her cheeks and said, "What happened to you?" She stared at me with her wet cheeks. Her face was all red from the tears "Sweetheart, what happened? Mom is here for you "I tried playing with her but all efforts were in vain. I tried all I could to cheer her up but she ended up staring at me like I was acting stupid so I gave up. I need help. The only person I could think about right now was Mrs. Clara. My mother. I need to give her a call. I need help to understand what my daughter is going through. I called her number and she picked up on the first call. " Please I need your help," I said through the phone " ok. I'll be right there with you " she said and ended the call.I sent her my address. I was heading to the park. I hope Amelia will be happy when she sees other kids just like
What Bella told me kept ringing in my head. She insisted that I tell him about Amelia. I don't know how to do it or what way to approach him. It's been two years now since the event that led to Amelia and this is taking a toll on me. If it's left to me, I don't want him to know. His knowing only means that I was welcoming trouble into my life. I dropped Amelia off at the daycare and made my way to my office. Seth hadn't called to talk to me yet. He didn't even call to ask why I didn't come to work and I felt too angry to send a message. I walk into the office like I did nothing wrong. The office was all staring. I wonder why they were whispering something at each other. I rolled my eyes and don't want to hear any of the gossip. It's nothing good. I was so sure about that.I went to my office and saw piles of work waiting for me. That was one thing with this place. When you are not around your work will keep piling up until you get back to do it. No one was going to help. It's the rul
AllysonI woke up from sleep only to realize that a man's arm was wrapped around my waist. I was startled at first not until I remembered what happened yesterday. I was so stupid. I pushed his arms off me. What have I done?I got out of bed all confused. Ace groaned but got up. He sat on the bed and said "Why did you hit me in the face ?"I was naked! I can't believe I allow this to go far .!I wasn't drunk when this happened. I was so stupid. I was confused and filled with lots of feelings. I went with my heart even before my head could process what was happening. "What happened?" I asked still shaken up. I was so confused and didn't know what I want or what to do" What happened last night ?" I felt like a lunatic asking those questions. I knew the answer to it but I still asked.He gave me a look " Is this some form of a joke or what? What are you trying to say? "" I don't know how ...what the hell!" I wrapped the blanket around me. I was so scared of what we did. I'm an adult but
AceI was so annoyed right now. Why would Aunt forgive him too soon after what he did? I punch the wall before me and scream out of annoyance. He has done more harm than good. He lives with his family happily and doesn't care about others. He hurt my aunt and he hurt the woman I love. He hurt Allyson. That is the worse thing ever. I want him down. I want to ruin him. I want to cripple him to nothing. I dashed out of my room. I need some air. Aunt must be in her room crying as she always does. She still thinks about him and the worse thing he did to her but she doesn't want to punish him. He's so not the best man in the universe. I'm glad she didn't end up with a man like that. He is a loser and that is what he will always be. I got into my car and drove off. I need to see Allyson. I need to talk to her. I can't stand it anymore. I can't stand not seeing her. I am about to get married to her sister and here I was going to see her. This is not right. I need to choose right. I need to
I sat down feeling confused. I don't even know what to think. Mom came out from the kitchen holding a cup of coffee. I took it gratefully. I took a sip and felt pleasured when the hot water hit my tongue. I don't know what would have happened if only he stayed behind. Amelia held on tight to Mom's clothes, she doesn't want to leave her. She likes her I guess." how do you feel now ?" Mom asked I nodded " I feel much better "" I knew coffee would do lots of wonders," she said with a smile and I knew it was her way of lightening the atmosphere. I like that she is trying all possible best to make me feel welcome." you are not gonna ask me anything ?" I asked cocking a brow She smiled " I don't want to rush things "" Thanks " I was glad We sat in silence for about a few minutes. Amelia started to cry. She was tired of sitting, she wants to play around." she wants to play. She gets tired when she is sitting all the time " I told her and she was surprised " She walks ?" " yes she
Work was so hectic. I never expected it to be this hard. Of course, I don't work with Seth. I work with his management. I didn't want to be in the same department as him so people won't start to say things they are not meant to say. I want to focus on what actually brought me here and nothing else.I was learning too much in just one day and I don't want to complain. I don't want to look like an ingrate. I should be thankful I have a job with good pay. I was in my office when I saw a reminder text from my mother, Mrs. Clara. She was reminding me about lunch today.Is it me or does it look strange that Diane hasn't called me since the incident? I thought she would at least call to hear my part but she didn't. Of course, I don't expect her to be happy that I insulted her mother but I would have at least wished she called to know what was going on. Is she mad at me or has her mother poisoned her mind as always?What a shame if she goes back to her old self. It will be such a loss for her
Mrs. Clara stayed for lunch. I didn't have it in mind to send her away after the long conversation we had. I served her some Chinese rice and shredded beef. I guess we share the same favorites. I love anything Chinese and the same her.She told me a lot about herself. It was entertaining hearing her speak. She told me she has a boyfriend and I told her I can't wait to meet him. She was excited. Loving the fact that I was giving her a second chance to patch things up." I have a godson and you two will get along. I'm sure of that " she said then took a spoon of her riceI smiled a little " I can't wait to meet him " She cheered "Can I come and pick you up tomorrow? I want you to meet my friends and my godson. They are the only ones I called my family " I was reluctant. I'm not good at meeting new people but she kept insisting " of fine "She squealed. She was so excited. Her smile was contagious, I surprised myself by smiling too. She is just too good with people and I love her energ
I was dancing to the tune of the music. It was an old one-direction song. I love their song so much. It gives me the energy I need to keep moving. I was so happy today and I don't know why though. I thought it was the fact that I now have a job. I haven't started yet but tomorrow will be my first time at work. Seth told me to use today to prepare myself and I was so grateful for that. I was swirling around like a ballerina. I was funny as hell. I look so stupid dancing this way. But who cares? I don't care. I just want to be happy and that is exactly what I'm going to keep doing. I heard a knock but thought it was from the other apartment. This time around the person knocked harder. I wasn't expecting anyone. Susan and I already have a conversation this morning that she should take a break from this job and she understood and took my advice. It's good for her and her daughter.I went to get the door. I saw a strange lady by the door. She has a smile on her face. I have seen this fac
