I'm not. But it's too late to turn back now. This has to happen! It's been way long overdue.
"Yea." I say with a sigh then he opens the car door and I mimic him.
I feel my heart beating a mile a minute as we make our way towards the foyer of the familiar house I'd hated with a passion. I'd practiced for days what I was going to say but my mind seems to be void of words right now.
The walk to the door feels like an eternity but we soon get there and he insists on ringing the door bell. I let him, just like I let him hold my hand to calm me down as we wait for someone to open.
He's done the whole hand holding thing with me so many times that I ex

Jonny Marina was Tristan's best friend before I came and took over.He was the second most popular boy in school and the co-captain of the soccer team, alongside Tristan. They'd been inseparable, until he started hanging out with me.So it should hardly come as a surprise that he didn't like me. Tristan stopped meeting up with them like they'd used to before to instead hang out with me. And well, it didn't sit right with him. Understandably.They still remained friends though. They didn't hang out a lot anymore but I knew Tristan still really cared about him as they'd known each other since they were kids.It took him a while but eventually he'd warmed up to me. I wouldn't say we became friends, we just stopped hati

I'm not perfect. But one other thing I'm not is selfish.I can talk about how I need to focus on my own wellbeing and happiness, which I do - very much so. Especially after everything that I've been through.But I know for a fact that I will not feel good about myself knowing that at his lowest moment in his life, Tristan needed me and I turned my back on him. I will not sleep better at night knowing he's suffering and I'm not there to help him. Call me a dumb idiot but that's just what it is.Luke told me I needed to figure out what I wanted, which is true. He also said that he's not going to wait around for that to happen, which is fair.My heart is broken, because I really do love him. I genuinely do feel that I'

"I think this is it."I am unable to keep in my excitement.I don't think this is it, I know it is."This is my house." I say again as I walk around the empty space of what will be my lounge. I can already picture how I'm going to decorate it."This is your house!" He repeats to me and I look back at him with a smile.It's like all the things that I've been through have prepared me for this moment right here. I always thought I was the most unlucky person in existence but looking at my life now, it all makes sense. The struggles.After moving out of Luke's house, I moved to a hotel for a bit. I didn't want

He got himself a secretary.He says it's because I'm not around in the office when he needs me and so he got someone to help him out. Of course I'd rolled my eyes at that. He doesn't need help, he needs to stop being lazy. He's good at what he does, but he doesn't like admin at all. He prefers to deal with certain things and leave the others for us to deal with.He's also got tons of other employees who are able to help him out when I'm not around, so I know he was just being petty by saying that.I like Emily though, she is good at her job. She doesn't have much experience in the accounting industry but she covers the administrative side of things almost to perfection.One other thing that's hard to miss about her

I haven't spoken to him in over two days. I know he's worried because he keeps blowing up my phone.I don't know what to say to him, how will I face him?"How long have you been in love with him?" Jonny had asked me randomly as I nibbled on a blueberry muffin. We were at Tristan's sister's birthday party and Tristan was inside a bouncy castle playing with the smaller kids. He looked so cute, yet so giant inside with all those kids and I couldn't help but laugh and admire at the same time. He always loved kids. He wants to have at least three in his life.Jonny's question caught me off guard, not just because it was random but because it shook my world for a second before I begged my heart to calm down.

"When's the official conference?""Next weekend.""Oh damn it. Can't I come?""No.""Pretty please.""Mia, you know you can't come.""That sucks."It really does. All the hard work I've put in on the McKenna account and I can't even be at the first meeting."You could come if you beg for your job back." He says annoying me.I won't even be introduced as the person behind the final written report. To them I don't exist.

TRISTAN'S POV"You're here alone today...""Yeah. I needed this session. I think you know why.""Tell me how you're feeling today Tristan." Dr Moyo says to me patiently. I know she's been suspecting for a while, even before I knew. I appreciate the fact that she doesn't ask me to put it in words.We were in one of our sessions when Meghan dramatically accused me of having feelings for Mia. I'd of course denied it because it was a lie. At least that was what I thought at the time."I'm feeling... conflicted. I'm coming to you not only because you're my therapist, but b

"I never liked him anyways.""You almost left grandpa to be with him.""I was trying to be charming darling. You certainly wouldn't have appreciated it had I been rude."Grandma says bullshiting me. She'd already came up with the names of mine and Luke's kids on the first day she'd met him and now she's claiming she didn't like him to start with."He was too muscular." I roll my eyes because she kept on touching his biceps as if they were gold. Luke had the greatest arms in the world."Speaking of grandpa..." I say clearly annoying her because,"Ok you're right, he was an angel and you made a big mistake l

"Have you spoken to him?""He doesn't really give me much of a choice." I say coincidentally locking my phone when I see him calling again."And he's still my fiancé." I don't have a choice but to answer his calls."Is it still the thing with his father?""No. Fuck his father. It's just that..."He doesn't want kids."It's nothing."I'm ashamed to tell her.

I was never much into planning out my wedding when I was growing up. All I knew was that I wanted to get married, and that was about it. I never planned out the kind of wedding dress I'd be wearing, or what kind of wedding I'd want. I also never imagined the kind of proposal I'd want. But never in a million years would I have thought I'd want to marry someone who'd proposed to me the way that Jake did.It was... un-special.Of course I'd thought he was joking so I'd laughed. He'd laughed with me too.We'd then sat in a comfortable silence for a while before,"Seriously though. Will you marry me Mia?" His eyes held a softness in them I'd never seen before on him. It was like he was looking right into my soul. So with

From the moment he stopped the lift for me, my heart chose him without my knowledge.He's probably the most annoying, most selfish person I've ever met. But of all my days of loving - Lord knows I've loved, it's never felt this way before. Not with Tristan, not with Luke. Not with anyone.I've read stories and watched movies about how perfect that moment you meethimis supposed to be. I've always imagined how magical the moment would be for me too, because well, that's the picture that's always been painted. How you'll know when he's the one by how perfect the moment will be.My first experience withhimwas the complete opposite of that. On the first day I met him, he spilled a very hot, hot chocolate on my chest. He also got me in

"Who else is coming?""Maybe a few other people. I don't remember.""Grandma!""Mia, my memory isn't what it used to be."I absolutely hate birthday parties. I hate it even more when it's mine. I always preferred spending the day with Tristan just watching movies and doing absolutely nothing special. Mom and dad knew that and they'd respected it, Aunty Maggie did too.But my stubborn grandma just won't let up.She claims it's because she's never celebrated the day with me. My one birthday wish when I was growing up was always to not see my grandparents. Of course it was granted. It was the one day I wouldn

"You're a difficult person to talk to." It literally feels like I'm talking to a wall."Mia you talk too much." He says not even bothering to look up from his laptop.I don't know what to do."It can't be true though right?"He did say Meghan accused him of being in love with me, we laughed about that. Right? There's no way it's true."I mean I guess he's been acting weird lately, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's in love with me now, does it?"

"R200 000 for a bag?!"Does it carry itself around?"Yup. And that's the cheapest we've got."Even the lady who works here thinks that's ridiculous, you can see it in her eyes."Mam, Birkin bags are incredibly unique." The manager explains to me. Clearly that's something she tells people on a daily.They wouldn't even let me in the shop until I told them who my grandmother was. Apparently only certain people can have the luxury of being sold this incredibly expensive piece of garbage. I am shocked that this is the world we live in.I don't care how rich I am, I'm not getting myself a bag that's anything over a R1000. But this is not for me so,

"So he called the company and they ended up taking me. I'm starting on... Hey are you listening to me?""Nugget. You've been talking about this for a million years. I know the whole story by heart now. You still won't answer his calls yada yada yada." He says annoyingly."But what did he think would happen after all that he said to me? That I'm just going to forgive him? Just like that?" I say and I hear him grunt through the phone."Tristan what's the point of our friendship if I can't tell you my frustrations?"I genuinely want to know."I'm sorry nugget. But you should at least say thank you. You did get the job because of him." He says confusing my made up

I hang up the upcoming call on my phone for the umpteenth time this morning before I decide to just switch it off.Today's got to be perfect. I can't afford distractions. I ignore the weird feeling laced with that word.After taking a few breaths, I finally step out of my car and make my way into the giant building I've googled too many times. It looks even better in person."Hi how are you doing?"I don't like asking people this question because it's always pretentious, on both sides. When someone asks how you're doing they don't really care to know how you're really doing, and when people answer that question, they always feel the need to give just one answer, the expected answer.Today I ask because I'm need

I don't like being left alone in people's houses. For multiple reasons but also because sometimes people just show up. This is obviously not at all likely to happen but that's currently what's happening to me.Jake and I were working on some reports until he randomly decided he needed to go get a quickie, so he went to go visit Emily or whoever it is who's his victim now.I'm mad because that seriously could've waited. I'm stopping the things that I need to do so I can help him out and this is how he thanks me? Ok maybe I don't have things I need to do since I have all the time in the world now, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm now face to face with the man who used to make my life a living hell."Can I get you something to drink?"He's just staring at me and
