Clare couldn't have been happier when she landed at the airport.She was happy to be back home, done with her scenes, and away from Jake, who couldn't keep his distance from her.She just didn't know that the way Jake irritated her, was the way she irritated Nate who she was on her way to see. Her driver was already at the airport, waiting for her.“Welcome, Miss Timbers."“Elijah, take me to Nate's office. Take my bags to the house. And come back and wait for me." She said, smiling. Clare sat at the back seat, fantasizing about her coming wedding and how pretty she wanted to look for Nate. She pulled her v neck shirt down, and pushed her breasts up, to show more of her cleavage.Elijah announced soon enough, that they had arrived at his company, and Clare strutted in the lobby. She walked past the receptionist, who caught her just in time.Clare looked at the woman in disgust, and slowly took off her sunglasses.“I'm here to see my fiance. Do you have an issue with that?" “What's

Clare went to her mother's office, straight from the restaurant.She dumped her bag on the couch, and sulked. Her mother noticed her daughter's face and went round her table to meet her daughter.“Didn't you enjoy your date with Nate?" Elizabeth asked Clare.Clare was surprised as to how her mother knew about her date.“ How did you know?" She asked Clare.“ Who do you think set the date up? I asked Nate's grandfather to convince Nate to go on a date with you." Elizabeth declared with a proud smile. “Well, mother. It didn't work out. I sat there for almost half an hour, before Nate acknowledged my presence, and even when he did, he made it clear that he wasn't interested. He didn't order anything, and he was just on his phone, while I ate." Clare whined to her mother.Elizabeth was shocked that Nate could act that way even after his grandfather set up the date. She felt he'd acknowledged her and treated Clare nicer.“We need to think of something. Something strong, able to hold him d

“Don't go." Nate dragged me back, drawing me closer to him. I tried to release my arm from his grip, but this seemed to only make him tighten it.He finally succeeded in pulling me down to his level, and I crouched in front of him, coming very close to his face.“Vine?" He called me“Yeah?"He slowly opened his eyes into slits and blinked a couple of times, before finally focusing them on me. He raised his hand and pushed my hair, behind my ear and cupped my face.“You're so beautiful. The most beautiful woman I've ever met." He whispered, looking deeply into my eyes.“You're really annoying though. You never listen and you can't discern my truth from my lies. Sometimes, I want to bring out my heart and show you how true I am to you." I didn't know Nate to be this open about how he felt so I think the alcohol did one good thing for me.“You're really attractive and I'd give anything and everything up, just to be with you. If only I'd met you under different circumstances, I'd have ma

Vine looked at herself in the mirror one more time and smiled, satisfied with her look.She had been overjoyed when Nate asked her out for dinner and thankfully, she had gone shopping a few days before so she had the perfect dress to wear.She picked up her clutch and walked out of the room.“Hey Abuela, I'm going to be late tonight, so don't wait up, okay? " Her grandmother smiled at how beautiful she was, and she hugged Vine giving her a kiss on the forehead.“You look so beautiful, my love."Vine blushed. “Thanks Abuela. I have to run. Take care."She ran out the front door because her Uber was already waiting for her. Her mind was all over the place as she thought of what the night held in store for her. She got to the restaurant, and Vine stopped for a second to make sure she was at the right place.The place was empty, left for a few waiters she saw around. She checked her phone again, to make sure the address was right before she told the Uber driver to go.She walked in and

Vine walked into Nate's office wondering what could have made him call for her.As soon as he saw her, he smiled, standing up from his desk and completely forgetting whatever work he had.“Hey." He opened his arms for a hug, and Vine stayed put, not returning his smile or enthusiasm.Nate noticed this and stoops in his tracks.“What's wrong? Clare trouble again?" “No," she walked past him, “You nearly got me into trouble today."“I had no idea!" Nate tried to defend himself.Vine knew that there was no way he could have known that Clare was there, but she just didn't like that they almost got exposed.“What do you want, Nathan?" “Well, since I meant it when I said I didn't want to marry Clare, I was thinking that maybe I'd get a definite answer on whether you wanted to marry me." Vine turned around and looked at him, with an amused face. That was the funniest thing she has ever heard anyone say.“What?" She tried very hard to control her laughter.Nate didn't know whether to join i

Clare gulped down her fourth glass of liquor for the night. She had never taken it easy on the drinks even when she was supposed to.Although, she did have to take a forced stop when the incident had happened. That night, she had been drunk, too drunk and very distracted.After leaving the club and getting dragged to her boyfriend of the time, Zack, Clare got into the car and drove under the influence. She felt very carefree, not giving a thought to whatever may happen, as she felt she was rich enough to handle any situation.She had been laughing at Zack’s burping and hadn’t taken one last glace at the road, before letting go of the steering wheel. At the last moment, she had looked back to the road, all she saw was a bright light, and she tried to avoid the car by swerving out of the way, but that didn’t work out very good. The last thing Clare heard was a loud scream and a crash.When she woke up, her parents had been there to tend to her, fortunately for her, she had got away wi

Nate got home that night, happy about his eventful day with Vine. He had found it really funny as well, when Vine started acting strange, unbeknownst to him, that she had seen Clare. That was another thing he liked about her. She was prepared for everything. If only he had known that the night won't end on a happy note. “Hey grandpa. How's your cough?" He went to sit beside his grandfather, who had been having a cold for some days.“I'm okay, son. How was work?" His grandfather quickly dismissed the topic. “Work was good. We're getting closer to finalizing the deal with Mr Yakomoto." It would be a very huge deal of Nate was able to get the contract, and he really wanted to, so he could make his grandfather proud. He saw how his grandfather smiled when he told him the news and Nate was more determined. “That's good news, Nate. I'm proud of you." He patted him on the back.Nate would never admit this, but he was a grandpa's boy. Since his parents had died a long time ago, he had be

Clare couldn't have been happier when the driver arrived at her house, and she looked to see Nate still passed out beside her. She asked the driver to carry him inside, following closely behind. She passed her father on her way upstairs, ignoring him as she had done ever since the family business went bankrupt because of her father. Despite not understanding that her father had done everything for the sake of the company, Clare blamed her father. Since he had made those investments, with the shareholders' money, they had taken every last penny from them, before pulling out of the business. Thai left them peniless, and even still in debt. Mark, her father, had been made to look like failure since he has been pushed aside by his wife and daughter who had lost every iota of respect for him, and had taken over the company.As soon as he saw the driver pass, carrying a man on his shoulder and Clara walking behind, he quickly got up from his seat and chased after her. “Clare" He called

Vine quickly made it down the pavement, cursing as her heels pressed against her toes. She didn't find a cab, and she couldn't wait so she had to walk at least three blocks.It wasn't like she wasn't good with heels. She was good with walking in them not running, and she would have taken them off without a thought, so she could run better, if not for wanting to maintain decency. She finally made it to her apartment, stopping for a second to catch her breath and take off those demonice heels since she was away from public eyes it felt like heaven to be free. As she burst through the door, she saw Gold sharply turn around in fear, as she knelt down beside Tony, who in turn, was laying on the couch.“Jesus Christ, you scared me." Gold clutched her chest and stood up, going to hug Vine. Vine half heartedly accepted the hug, her entire mind transfixed on her brother, show as laying on the couch. “I'm sorry. What's going on?" She asked her best friend.Gold walked away from her, going b

Elizabeth was getting impatient. This morning, Mark, her husband had spoken to her in a way she didn't appreciate.“Do you know, that pushing Clare into doing all those stupid things, is only going to ruin her life and yours?" He said behind her. She hated him, she hated him from her core and she was angry she couldn't do anything about it. She didn't have enough money to hire a divorce lawyer, which was eating her up, because she wanted to divorce Mark and throw him out of the house, or get a new one for herself. “What has it got to do with you? Mind your business, Mark. No one wants to hear you talk.""But you need to hear it, Elizabeth. What are you thinking? You're supposed to be the one that's guiding her, how come you're even more stupid?" “How dare you, Mark? You're the one who's stupid, and you've always been since you decided to make this stupid investments that basically killed us." “Need I remind you, that I made those investments, because I spent so much money settlin

“Make sure to book me an appointment at the spa and the nail salon the Wednesday before the wedding. Since Nate said he wanted lilies, visit the flower shop and order them. Also, the baker hasn’t said anything about the cake yet. Have you called him?” Vine didn’t know why Clare was suddenly interested in the wedding. The wedding was still three weeks away and for the past week, Clare had been fretting about all the details. She had gone over everything that Vine had done, basically defeating the purpose of her being a wedding planner.She hadn’t got angry though. She had been spending the past few weeks with Nate. She had finally told him her concern and he had promised to speak to his grandfather very soon. He was sure that his grandfather would grant his request, after listening to him.Vine walked away from Clare to go over the corrections. She had been behaving strange lately. Vine had seen her throwing up on several occasions and she looked like she gained some weight. Clare was

Vine went across the street for the third time. Clare had come into the office today and was already being a pain in the neck. She shouted at Vine for not managing the office properly, complaining about the dust on her table. Vine was still dealing with the drama, when her mother came in, and Vine had to ask herself if she had been cursed. As soon as Elizabeth sat down, she called for Vine to get her coffee from the shop across the street. When Vine brought it, she said it was too black, she needed a little bit more cream, so she went back. The second time, Elizabeth said she needed crackers. The third time, she said the coffee had got cold while she was waiting for Vine so she wanted another cup. Vine wanted nothing more than to scream at her, and give her a piece of her mind, but she knew that would be the day she died, so she just swallowed her anger and took the elevator down.The truth was, Elizabeth kept sending Vine on errands because she didn’t want Vine to hear what she an

Gold's wishes had come true.When Ron called her later that night, laughing and sounding so happy and cheerful about his dinner with Vine, she felt so relieved. Ron had been the first to get there. He didn't want Vine waiting for him, it wouldn't be very nice. He had booked a very expensive restaurant, a little distance away from his home, away from anyone he knew. He has to book the entire restaurant, so that he and Vine would have the privacy he wanted them to have. It was also to prevent Marilyn from accidentally seeing them together. Marilyn had never spoken about Vine and he wanted to keep things that way. When he saw her walk into the restaurant in that dress, he felt his heart do a backflip. He scoffed, not knowing how to react to it. The gown hugged her body, perfectly, bringing out every curve that there was to see.Was it a coincidence that it was the exact shade of blue he liked? That was far fetched. He knew that Gold had something to do with this, and he couldn't tha

There was a spring in Vine's step, as she made it into the vineyard. Normally, she should be sad that she was going to taste the wine that would be served at the wedding of the man she loved, but right now, all she thought about was the fact that she was going to get to see Nate after days. She hadn't seen him for a while and happiness filled her heart as she waited for him to show up. Clare wasn't really involved in the planning, so it would just be the both of them.She intentionally told the attendant to wait before bringing the wine. She wanted Nate to be here first, before she did anything. Nate would give anything to be anywhere else, but on his way to see Vine. He had let his best friends in on what had happened, and while they were shocked to their bones and almost killed him, they told him that he couldn't avoid her.He knew he couldn't avoid her too, but the guilt eating him up inside would be the one to expose him. Not wanting to get down from his car, he sat in the car

Vine felt very proud of herself for having bought that bikini. Maybe because she felt very sexy in it, but also because ever since she wore it, and removed her clothes to expose it when they had got on the yatch, Gold had been singing her praises. She smiled honestly grateful for the compliment, but the smile quickly disappeared, since it was not from her heart. Gold noticed this. She had been with Vine since the both of them had got their first periods, and had decided the wisest and most mature thing to do was run down the street, topless screaming that they were witches. Of course, both their parents weren’t happy when they got to find out, and they had both been punished severely for it. That had been so many years ago, and she still couldn’t believe that their friendship was even stronger and more interesting than it had been back then. It was as if they had just met. “What’s wrong, Vine? Why do you look like a sad wet puppy?” Vine found that comparison very weird. “First of

Vine's day was going smoothly. Too smooth. Maybe it was because she ate breakfast early today. Well, that in turn was because Clare hadn't shown up to work today. Which was shocking. Her phone lines weren't going through either, and she didn't know whether to be happy about it or worried.Either way, she was having the time of her life, sitting in her office, watching her favorite show and eating a hamburger. She was interrupted by a call , and when she saw who it was, she smiled. “Hi Abuela!" It may have been only two and a half days, but Vine missed her grandmother very much.“Mi Corazon. I've missed you so much. How're you and how's Tony?" Vine liked how vibrant her grandmother sounded. “We're good, Abuela. How's Peru?" When Vine ended the call, she felt more at ease, speaking to her grandmother, letting her continue watching her movie. Only to be interrupted by another call. Everyone just seemed to want to call her at the moment.She hadn't even even looked at the caller a
