 Karen DonnaElizabeth already had everything sorted out for me before she left for work. I blushed, showered and watch movies all day. I'm beginning to feel like my old jobless self again, staying home doing nothing.I make my way to the kitchen for lunch. The kitchen looks a bit empty and scattered. I sigh. I begin to clean and wash the dishes. I take the trash outside after I'm done and proceed to go to the grocery store to stock the house. I pull into a red tank top and a white flare skirt. I pack my hair into a messy bun, apply lipgloss and leaves the house. It's chilly outside. I brace myself and walk to the grocery store. My phone rings before I could grab the cart. It's mum. I pick up immediately."Hey mum. I'm good. Is Ralph okay? How's Lisa? Tell them I miss them. Okay. I'm good now, I just need sometime. Okay mum, I love you." I hang up and go ahead to pick out few foods. I feel someone watching me.

🍭 Chapter Thirty-Four 🍭Karen Donna"KAREN!" I jump out of bed in a rush, my eyes still heavily from sleep. I rub my eyes, trying to get the sleep away. It's still there. I yawn, and step into my flip-flops."KAREN!" I hear again. This time, I run away to where the voice is coming from. I perceive burning food. I run quickly to see smoke in the air. I am choking from inhaling it already. "What happened?" I ask, coughing and waving my hands in the air to clear the smoke that gathered around me. "I might have forgotten about the food I had on fire." She replies. I sigh. I drag her out of the kitchen, making sure the smoke goes out before we go back in again. "No work?" I ask her, plopping myself on the floor of the living room."Mr Peter asked me to stay back.""Why?" "He wants me to look after you."I roll my eyes, "I'm not a baby. Besides I'm fine.""Nonsense. You're n

🍭 Chapter Thirty-six 🍭Peter WellingtonI see her, sitting behind the counter. That smile I used to love sends chills down my spine. I try to ignore how fast my heart still beats for her. Natasha. She's back.I take my seat opposite hers. I ignore the huge smile she has on her face. "So you're her." I say in almost a whisper. I can't find my voice anymore. I don't know if I should be excited to see her or mad at her for leaving without letting me know her reasons for leaving.I watch her smile fall into a frown. She lowers her head. "I'm sorry."I relax in my chair, my eyes not leaving hers. "Sorry about what exactly?" She gulp, "for everything. I know I shouldn't have left, I'm sorry." She says her last word in a whisper. "You stalked me, Natasha!"She grits her teeth, her frown is being replaced with anger. She turns red, her bold eyes grows more. I can see fire igniting from her eyes.

 Karen DonnaThe continuous sound of Elizabeth voice from the kitchen make me smile. She's being like that ever since she got back. She can't get over the news that Peter and I kissed. It's been her song for the past three days. I stuff my mouth with chips, as I look down at my phone for the hundredth time. It's been like that ever since that night. Peter call haven't come in since. I want to smack my head continuously each time I look down at my phone. I shouldn't be expecting his call, it was just a kiss that we both enjoyed. I don't see the need for the call. Elizabeth walks in, with two cups of smoothies. She's spent all day working on it, through the help of a YouTube video. "Here," she hands me the smoothie. "Take a sip and enjoy the heavenly taste, I promise you would love it." I give her a glance before I proceed to take a sip from it. For a first timer, she did great. I take another sip, and flash her a smile. "It's

🍭 Chapter Forty (Mature content below. Please skip this chapter if you're not comfortable with it.)Peter Wellington"Should I call her?" I ask Maya one last time.Maya shakes her head. "No you're not. I think it's disrespectful on Mike's part if he finds out you're hitting on his ex."I roll my eyes at her. "Maybe if Mike should've valued what he had, then I wouldn't have been here contemplating if I should call Karen."I want a life with Karen. I want things to work out for us. I keep hiding my feelings for her, and it sucks."I find it disrespectful. I mean, you guys are cousins." I don't care. He never valued her. It's his audacity to break up with her because of her silly bestfriend who wants nothing but s.ex. I sip my milkshake, "I don't. Get over it, Maya.""Hell no. Mike did wrong, but I don't think it's nice if you date his ex. That's totally wrong. You guys are family." "I
