Hailey's POV"What was all that bullshit you did out there?" Colton asked as he banged his hand so hard on the table, it nearly gave me a heart attack.I jumped. " I'm sorry. If it wasn't urgent then..."" Then what? Who do you think you are to barge into my office and create such chaos?" He walked up to me and grabbed my arm." Nobody. I'm a nobody." I said quietly and he let go of me as if he saw through me and then took a few steps back to his desk." What do you want?" He asked as he slowly placed the bottled water back on his table." To save my mother, I need $40,000 for her surgery."He scoffed " That's a huge sum of money, and why do you think I'd give you such an amount?" He asked sitting on the chair behind the desk." I don't know. I guess I don't have a lot of options on my table. I'm just playing all my cards and thats why I came to you."" I can give you forty grand but what do I get in return." He asked stroking his chin." Whatever you want?" I said without hesitation
We just had one of our biggest fights, twice since the week began. I sat by the poolside as usual and waited for his outrage to be settled with my bruised face, an injury I had suffered earlier during one of our fights when he raised his filthy hands and hit me so hard on the face for the hundredth time. I wonder what’s wrong with me? Even after all these I still love him irrevocably and unconditionally.As I sat there in the cold weather, thinking my whole life with Andre through, I was taken aback by the day we met and we became lovers.A year ago, I had just moved to Phoenix, Arizona in the united states to start anew after my dad was buried, it was just me and my mum. She worked as a police officer in New Mexico and I’m certain about how engaged she is with her job, it helps her forget her worries and be happy while myself, on the other hand, I had just finished college but since I couldn’t get a job in my state coupled with my fathers sudden pa
“ Hey! What are you doing here at this hour?” I asked.“ Uhm, you forgot this. He present a record in front of me. I didn’t think your father’s birthday ritual would be complete without his favorite tracks so I thought if bringing it to you.”“ But how did you…? before I could finish my sentence he took my hands and placed the record in them , then he kissed my forehead . I will see you tomorrow okay? Goodnight.” He turned and continued to the elevator. I stood right there awestruck as I watched him pushed the button and got into the lift, he turned and waved at me right before the lift door shuts. On realizing he was gone I went back into my apartment and shut the door.Resuming from where I had left with the preparation of my dad’s birthday ritual, I I placed the record in the record player and astoundingly the record played my father’s favorite songs by “ Leonel Richie
I felt uncomfortable with all the spending on me, I wanted to reject his gifts but thinking of how he would feel I let it go instead I collect them and keep them safe Specially the jewelries. I made sure I kept them in a safe in my closet to avoid losing them .I proceeded to open the car door as I could hear susurrant voices of people around us. “ wait Babe, before you proceed I want you to have this. He reached out his hand and was holding a necklace. This is the symbol of our love and I want you to wear it around your neck so that it will be close to your heart and remember this day as I promise you that I will always make you happy as long as you are mine.” He wore the necklace around my neck and true out my life I have never seen such a resplendent design. It was a heart shaped gold , with Our initials boldly carved and diamond encrusted, the E and H were merged together all in one heart.“ I have one more surprise for you, get in the car
“ I’m sorry ma'am but I was strictly ordered to stay and wait until you are awake to serve you breakfast and help you get ready.” She walked behind me as I entered the bathroom.I washed my face with the soap and water on the sink then dried my skin with the towel and came back into the room.“ But you could've woke me up instead of waiting for God knows when just for me to wake up?”“ I'm sorry ma'am.” That’s all she could say and it made me feel bad for her.“ please you don’t have to apologize, I am the one who is sorry for making you wait, so why don’t you walk me through what you were instructed to do?” I smiled at her making her feel more comfortable around me.“ Uhm. Why don’t we begin with breakfast first.” She said as she walked across the room and brought my meal in breakfast trolley. She opened them and I was marveled with the varieties of breakfast on the plates, some I have never tasted my whole life. I browsed with my eyes until I found those beautiful h
I was aware of how light headed I am when it comes to booze but going to a burn fire party I am certain it was going to be booze all night long. The only to avert embarrassing myself is avoiding the party but on the other hand my boyfriend wants to go and ever since we got here he has been doing everything that I wanted without me asking and now he wants to do something he likes, the least I could do for him to make him happy. I pondered before I dozed off.Waking up by his voice I turned around to see him all spruced up for the party already.“ Hey babe. Come on we are going to be late !”“ yeah.” I got out of bed and proceeded to the bathroom to freshen up, once I got out he already picked out a dress for me to wear.“ Hey. I picked out the red dress for you to wear, I’m sure you are going to dazzle in them.”“ Alright let me try it out. “ I took the dress from him and slide into
“ I'm sorry Rose, I’m just not in the mood to talk right now.” I kept my face down“ The both of you fought didn’t you?”“ yes.. I sighed. I raised my head and look at her.She gasps. “ what happened to you face, the expression on my face tells her the truth. She sighed. He hit you didn’t He?”Tears filled my eyes As I Turned my face away from her. I wiped them immediately and smiled.“ I don’t think he didn’t on purpose, He was a bit drunk last night that's why trust me Rose it was a mere accident .”“ Hailey, please be careful and here on after make sure to think thoroughly before you take any step that concerns you and Andre.”“ I’m understand where you are going Rose but right now I am not thinking about taking any step, I just want to be alone for a while so please don’t let Andre know that I am home.”&l

" you little birdy, think you could fly because you can flap your wings huh? " I hear Mr. Rogers's voice and then the sound of a smack." Oh gosh! I'm so sorry Sam, This is all my fault." I cried within." you should first of all look at your reflection in the mirror before you look in a woman's direction, you fat ugly bastard!" I could hear Sam throwing shades at him." Slap! You have a big mouth bitch!" Mr. Rogers hits her again. " Umm, excuse me? " I wave at the man standing by the door." what?" He retorts rudely." Please I need to use the bathroom for a minute." I requested." I can't let you go, the boss isn't here yet. So you have to hold it." " I wish I could but I have to go!" I stand up from my chair pretending to be pressed by urine." Okay, three minutes. Don't take longer than that." He says pointing towards the boss's bathroom." Okay. Thank you so much! I quickly Stumble into the bathroom and lock the door from the inside. Phew! I heave a sigh with my back against the
" A threesome... With the both of you, he flashes at me and Sam as we turn and gaze at one another. It's going to be fun, besides it's Friday, so, we will take it to the club and finally to a nice hotel, just the three of us. Once we are done the money is yours, it's not a big deal." He mutter.I feel disgusted merely gazing at him, his dirty yellowish teeth, with crusts on the corners of his mouth. Fat as hell and hideous, I don't think I can even stand staying in one room with just him in it.What gave him the impetus to look at us and think of nothing else but to have sex with us simply because we are women, poor, weak, and desperate girls.These types of people are the reason girls have deemed slots in society because they know when a girl is desperately in need of assistance and what do they do? They present such a tempting offer in front of her but with a constraint that requires her to sell herself, her respect to getting what she needs. At the end of the day,
We are here, eventually, my heart won't stop scampering throughout the entire trip. Sam and I make our way into the building which seems like a warehouse of the sort, there are some packaged goods in cartons stacked on the floor by the corner and some men standing and having a chit chat while some are busy arranging and repackaging the unknown goods in the cartons.It didn't look anything like what I had imagined on my way here, at least there isn't a group of varmints puffing smokes while counting stacks of cash, rather the men here seem to be more engrossed with what they are doing and everything seems legal to me." Hey! Excuse me, Sam waves at one of the men standing across the hall as he slowly takes a few steps closer to us with his brows furrow." Yeah? " the man motioned tilting his neck backward in a manner that his chin notches at Sam while he munches on his gum." Pardon me, please where can we find Mr. Roger?"" Oh! Do you mean the boss? Follow me, he says
" Y-yes?" I stammer." Ma'am you only have three days to get the money for the surgery or else... She pauses and sighs. We might not be able to save her." She states.My room was always filled with the echoes of honking car horns and distinct noises of new york city, suddenly in those brief seconds as I hold the phone in my left ear and listening to the doctor without a word. The only thing that encompass my room is an eerie lull which sent a cold shiver and skepticism running down gently in my spine.Could this be a malediction in my fate, why does despair often knocks at my door each time there is a ray of hope and happiness in my life?" Amanda! Amanda! " suddenly I could hear Sam's voice calling out to me as I slowly wipe my tears and look up, our gaze meets." Amanda, I am so sorry for saying all those nasty things to you, I-i don't know what came over me. She turns and places her hand on my shoulder. I just want you to know that you are a part of my streng
" You still haven't told me where we are going, Amanda?" Sam inquires of me.I hear her, however, I seize to answer her and decide to avoid making eye contact with her as the driver continues to our destination." Why aren't you answering any of my questions, will you talk to me?" She rebels.I can sense her gaping at me furiously but I chose to linger on staying mute, she crinkle her arms and frown her face.The taxi Pulls over by the corner after a twenty minutes ride from the coffee shop.I jump out of the car while Sam comes out after me, I keep my hand in my purse and pay off the driver and he zooms out immediately." what are we doing here, why did you bring me here Amanda?" She yells as her face turns crimson." I am so sorry but I have to step in and help you do what you are supposed to, a few days back. So come with me, let's go." I drag her by the arm as we proceed into the cemetery.With the help of Mrs. Torres, I was able to find o
Why do I feel like something is wrong, I could sense that I've missed something trying to understand Sam, is there something she isn't telling me? I could sense something fishy but I can't seem to wrap my hands around it.We got to the shop and I resume my duty immediately, During my entire shift I try talking to Sam, however, she continues to avoid me on each attempt I make, using the term " there is no relation in business." Whenever I come to talk to have a word with her.I understand, perhaps I meddle in other people's matters but she isn't just anyone to me, she is my best friend and a sister to me, and I believe sisters don't keep their pain from one another.I know she is hiding her feelings, something must have happened to her to make her keep faking her smile and harboring so much anger in her heart." An idea! Perhaps I should speak to Mrs.Torres, she must know something." I ponder as I take the empty plates and cup of coffee I recently served a c
It's been a month, a beautiful stress-free month of working with Sam at her coffee and pastry shop. I enjoy every single bit of my time serving and giving all my attention to the customer's needs, I don't think there is a part of my job I didn't like Though it paid a little, however, the fact that I can earn a dollar at the end of the day means so much to me. In barely a month now I have saved up enough cash to buy a new window phone for myself, at least now I will be proficient to browse the internet and socialize via social media, and of course with my fake identity and a picture of some celebrity or nature on my wall.I try to keep everything about me clandestine and it seems to be working perfectly, Eventually, my life is turning out to be stress-free with some happy mode activated, though, sometimes Sam can be a little uptight and inflexible when it comes to the subject of how to make some changes with the coffee shop, however, I understand what she is doing, making an eff
