Subsequently taking a brief nap while I had gone into the guest room to change into some of the outfits I could wear at home, then sort the things we purchased and check out the expensive things in the saraffin shopping bags.
While I am still on it, I hear a knock at the door. " Come in, it's open!" I sang out loud.Sam opens the door ajar and walks in with a cup of coffee in her hand." Here, this is for you! " she hands over the hot cup of coffee to me as I reach out and take it from her, " thanks!" I said taking a sip of the hot coffee." May I suggest something to you?" She asks while she slowly sits next to me in bed." Sure what's up?" I drop the clothes with me on the bed and turns to her because I could sense that she had something important to say... However, she seems to have ran out of words as she keeps on gaping at me and looking away." Umm, Amanda!" She calls out to me." yeah?" I replies curious about what she wants to tWhen it comes to pastry, I don't like to brag but I am quite a cake whiz. And this evening I have a plan on baking a nice coffee cake for Sam since she is a fan of coffee. I started with my cake baking and before dawn, I am done with it and able to clean up the kitchen ahead of time. Before her arrival, I freshen up and had a little 'me time. In as much as I enjoy having company or a roommate, there's nothing in the world I enjoy more than some time alone to myself, it allows me to think my life through and know how far I've gone with my life and what step to take next in life, being able to enjoy one's company is the best way to live.While I laid down in bed, I hear a knock at the main entrance door and promptly I jump out of bed and ran to open the door, " I'm sure it must be Sam... She came quite timelier than I thought." I say to myself as I approach the door, turning the lock anti-clockwise direction, I succeed in opening the door and slowly pulls it ajar.The
At this moment in time, I feel like giving up but I can't, I have a heavy sigh as I contemplate on how to reach the cell phone having figured out a great idea in my head, I unhurriedly drag myself up from the floor and tried placing my hands against the door while using my right foot to trace the phone on the bed. Slowly but steadily I can feel my big toe rub against the phone, however, it seems impossible for me to pull it closer. I bit down on my lower lips as it is an energy bar and I crumple all the resilience in me and stretching my leg to an extension that I can feel under my foot, deliberately I pull the cell phone closer to me while pushing against the door." I'm sure that you can hear me in there and I'm going to give you till the count of five to open this door or I will do it myself, and when I do, you will wish you never disobeyed me b**ch... One! He counts.Right now I have only four seconds to get the phone, hastily, I pull the cell phone towar
Barely a few seconds, he is on the bathroom wet floor falling flat on his bums. " Ouch! You did this, you b**tch! How dare you?" He yells at me, spewing saliva as he screams.I got frightened by his threats and attempts to flee from the bathroom but he grabs my ankle and tries to pull me down, however, I clasp onto the door frame so firmly as I try pulling my foot away from his grasp. " Let go of me! " I let out yanking my foot.Pulling so hard I can get my ankle off his grip but loses my balance as I slip while trying to escape, I try to move but it seems to be late, before I could cut and run he is already on top of me dragging on my shirt as he struggles to tear them apart. I engage in self-defense, kicking him and throwing punches, but he is way too strong for me to take on. " Get off me, get off me!" I yell repeatedly.He smacks me hard on the face and spits on me, " You think you can mess with me and get away with it? Now I'm going to spit all over
The lady officer who is busy taking down notes of my statement, raises her head and with such a surprising stare on her face, " you mean...her ex?" She points in Sam's direction.I sneak a peek at her and look away, " yeah!" I nodded my head." Okay, proceed!" " When I open the door and saw him standing there, asked him his reasons for coming over and he replied saying that he came to see my roommate, thence I confided he come back later since my roommate wasn't around. However, he forced himself into the apartment and threatened to deal with me mercilessly..." Sorry to cut in but do you have any sort of history with this guy in question?"" No, not all! " I replied." then why did he come after you?" She talks at me with a dubious expression." I have no idea!" She scoffs, " that can't be through ma'am, someone whom you don't know can't just attack you without a reason, there must be something you are not telling me and until you te
It's incredible how friendships and bonds are formed, especially between two strangers. It still surprises me how barely three days ago, I never thought I'd meet someone whom I'd bond with as much as I have with Sam, I have no idea how and when it happened however, I don't just see Sam as a friend but as a sister, watching her sad makes me feel awful too. I wish that I could fix everything and make them the way they are before I came into their lives, It seems as though my presence in her live has wrecked everything, her happiness and her affair, it is such a heavy burden in my heart and I had thought perhaps keeping the truth about what had happened between Jordan and I would at least keep things on a normal, however, my plans has ricocheted and I feel like it will not end that easily." So what you are saying is that you are in cohort in this 'game' with your boyfriend to take advantage of her with the fact that she barely knows the city huh?" The officer interr
"Oh no! What if she finds the knife covered in blood." I thought to myself as I recall impaling Jordan in his hand earlier that night when he came at me." Amanda! Why can't I find the knife? Never mind I have another one in the sideboard." I watch as she opens the cupboard and reaches for a knife," phew!" I heave a breath of relief.She returns to the living room with a new knife and other stuff we need to pass through the night.Sam picks up the bottle of Tequila and pours it into the two plastic cups, then offer one cup to me as she takes hers and gulps it down at once, " Aaah! This is the stuff! She flashes at me as she pours more Tequila into her cup and then turns to me. " let's cheer for a great and drama-free day ahead!" She brings her cup to mine and we both cheers together.I went ahead to cut the cake into pieces and give her a plate to munch on, " Wow! This is amazing, like if this cake is a dude I'm wife-ing up like literally marrying it
It's been hours taking care of drunk and heartbroken Sam, patting on her back as she pukes into the toilet got me thinking about how unfair life is, not just to me but to every good person out there in the world, A qualm pops into my head, " why is it that fate continues to mess with the good ones and not the bad ones, why are the bad ones given an opportunity for atonement and the never to the good ones?A woman like Sam who seems to be naive and clueless about how difficult and cruel life can be until they get a whiff of the bitter side of life, but also that is just the way that we grow, nobody on earth would say that they have never been heartbroken before not even a five-year-old nowadays, it might not be from the breakup, it might be something else a child growing and witnessing his or her parents divorce, lots of parents might think that they are the ones most affected by the situation, however, the child is the one to have the worst experience and heartbreak of all.
It wasn't easy for me trying to come clean to my mom, but it would hurt more to keep my life a secret from her. When I think about it, she is the only family that I have left, and the fact that Andre involved her in this whole mess of ours gives her every right to know what had happened and precisely how her child is doing, in as much as I am an adult and has preferred taking care of myself and my messes, I still feel the need to have a word with her, it might be what I need to move on perhaps her advice might give me more encouragement and elevate my spirit into being the type of person I want to be." what do you mean 'he took your unborn child?" I could hear her trembling voice over the phone as she queries.I heave a sigh, " mom, barely a month heretofore, I was pregnant with my daughter but apparently, he didn't want a female child, which led to some disagreements and he asked me to undergo an abortion, however, I refused to do as he said. And then on that fatef
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
Hailey's POVWhile I struggled with him, I kept screaming "Help!" hoping the cops would hear my voice and come to my aid.He forcefully dragged me to his office desk and began to strip my pants with his right hand while his left hand clenched my hair and pinned my face on the table.I struggled with him but he overpowered me and stripped my pants off.Just when he was about to force himself onto me, the door was kicked open with a cop at the entrance holding a gun at him." Step away from the lady." He instructed him.Immediately he let go of my hair and pulled assy from me.I heaved a sigh of relief and slumped into the chair behind me.The officer walked over and put a cuff on his wrists." Ma'am, are you okay?" The officer asked and I nodded gently, while I tried to control my emotions.I could feel my hands trembling as I arranged my hair.Suddenly, I recalled that Sam was still held by Roger's men, I hurried out of the office in search of her."Sam!" I called out." Amanda" I he
" 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
