The Dreaded Proposal

 Alyssa Algernon clenched her fist, her breath bursting in and out as the footsteps outside her dressing room drew closer. She wasn't prepared for who was about to visit her pink coloured room but there was nothing she could do than sit still and let the people performing wonders on her face and body finish what they already started.The door burst open and to Alyssa's semi relief, it was just the head maid and two little maids that entered the room. Head maid Linda cast a look of disdain over Alyssa's body and then she nodded in satisfaction. Judging from her rigid seating posture and her serene face, the three months extensive training wasn't a fluke“ Get up and turnaround ” Linda ordered impatiently in a stern voice.Alyssa pursed her lips. She had no choice but to oblige so she stood up slowly trying to cover the upper part of her body that was

Alyssa was surprised to hear that  Wendy was her sister in-law. She didn't know that Quinn had a younger sister but then again, she knew almost nothing about him and his family since they were quite secretive.“ Sure sure you're right but next time, you shouldn't talk like that in public. It's very bad” Tina replied to Wendy rolling her eyes. She was used to Wendy calling her sister in-law at times like this. She offered an apologetic smile to Alyssa.“ Alright then” Wendy smiled happily but still glared at Alyssa. She was surely mad at Alyssa because her brother to scolded her.“ I wondered why you decided to just do a small party. Quinn won't mind paying for a big one”  Tina laughed softly and shook her head. “ You talk as if I'm with Quinn for his money. I'm working and not penniless yunno?” She joked.Alyssa couldn't help but feel her remark was aimed at her but lookin

Alyssa nose flared at her sister's disrespectful words. “ Alexia Algernon have you  no respect for me? Where are your manners? Do you have to talk back to me at every chance you get?” She said her voice higher than she intended. She had already forgotten that Quinn was also in the room.“ Then let me ask you Alyssa Algernon, why should I  respect you? It's not like you are even my sister” She said the last part under her breath.“ What? What do you mean” Alyssa asked, her body trembling slightly as she clenched her fist tightly. Her wound reopened but she didn't care a bit.Alexia stated at her sister with little interest then noticed another presence in the room. Her jaws dropped with her eyes wide open.“ You....I know you” She shouted. Her tone visibly softened with a sweet girl charm in it. “ You're Quinn Winters, Tina W

“ Why did you stop?” Mason queried as they settled on one of the seats in the hospital park.Alyssa looked straight ahead at the park. The population had visibly decreased probably because it's lunch time or the children were tired from playing after a long time.“Well...” She sucked in her lower lip and sighed. She felt her cheek growing hot as the scene of Quinn exploring her body with his large palms popped up in her head.“Well....you know the rest of the story” She said softly unable to look at him. She was very scared, scared that he would judge her like other people have always been doing. Mason sighed. He knew the rest of the story but not all. He was sure they would talk about it with time. He was already grateful she chose to tell him even part of the story that could be considered personal which showed the amount of trust she had for him. In his heart, that moment, he swore to never betray the trust she had for him.

“ I said I'm not having dinner!!” Alyssa yelled from under the duvet when the door opened. She heard it close softly and sighed thinking the maid had gone back with the food. “ Why?”Alyssa pressed her lips then opened it . “ I don't have ap...” Her eyes widened and she quickly removed the duvet and knelt on the bed immediately.Quinn sighed and dropped the tray he was holding beside her. He switched on the room light and thoughtfully stared at her face.Her nose and eyes were red and puffy like she had been crying for a long time. He also moved and sat down on the edge of the bed. “ You should try to eat something even if you're not hungry.” Quinn scolded her in a very gentle way. “I...I don't have appetite ” Alyssa said with her head lowered. Somewhere in heart knew he was about to visit Tina judging from his attire.Quinn gave her a soothing smile. There was no way he was going to ex
