"I wanna be great like you! Oh my!" Jeremy grinned. "You see how you clipped her wings!""I could do that to you if you would not keep shut." His bickering was irritating my hearing nerves."I'm so sorry, Ariande.""Take me home. I'm worn out." I reclined on the passenger seat and he ignited the engine.Tony was leaning on his car in front of my house when we arrived."I thought we could have lunch together today." He said."I can't do lunch today. Jeremy, drive on!""Why?" He was adamant. "Did I do something wrong?" He planted his hands on the window of my car.I scoffed."I know you Tony, I know what you want from me... actually I'm not ready to give you that, yet so just bugger off meanwhile.""Ariande, you are getting this wrong. I'm no longer involved with Leo, alright? I stopped. I backed out already." He tried to explain but I didn't buy it."I don't want to see you today.""I want to know how you are doing, Ariande.""I'm doing perfectly fine, Tony. By doing this, you're actua

Perhaps I shouldn't have agreed, perhaps I didn't make a mistake by agreeing, I couldn't say. I just knew that the measure of discomfort which I was feeling at that moment couldn't be compared to anything. Nathan belched from his drink."This side is quite pleasant, let's sit over here." Henry suggested. Even though we had made reservations, we had not been able to pick a perfect spot for the four of us. I was the only lady so I must be comfortable, at least, with one of the men. Nathan jumped on the chair, on our way he had childishly expressed his longing to return to the kindergarten and see his friends over there. But if only he knew how unsettled his mother's mind was. He couldn't comprehend.I looked up at the sky as we sat under an umbrella, there was no hint of sun. Ah, the beach would have been pleasant if it were Summer but then we seemed forever stuck in this wintry spell. I shut my eyes for a moment, imagining myself stretched out on the shore, it was so vivid I could brin

***Ariande"What would you like to have?" Tony asked."Pasta.""Any specific one?""No."My taste buds weren't doing so well at that moment but I just had to eat for sustenance. I noticed that since I came back from that godforsaken place, I had not been myself. Out of my annoyance, I had also cut off the contract between me and Caleb.When Tony beckoned to the waiter for the second time, the man brought a bottle of Zinfandel to our table."You up on any shoot at the meeting?" He asked when the waiter had left."Not really.""Well," he seemed to hesitate to talk."What?"He dropped his cutlery and stared at me."You seem a lot unlike yourself since you came back.""I didn't know it was that obvious," I sipped out of my glass."Yeah,""How bad is it?""It's not bad. It suits you." He answered. I wanted to believe him."What else changed?" I wanted to know to what extent he could be deceptive."You are prettier." He continued eating."I noticed."He chuckled."Was that funny?" I frowne

LaylaI woke up to the smell of pancakes later that evening, the aroma filling the hotel room where Henry had lodged us, and I smiled at his figure which stood by the window."You're awake..." He said when he saw me."Yes. How long was I asleep for?"He got closer to the bed to help me sit up,"About two to three hours, not too long for a nap"I gasped, "That's long. Where is Nathan and Leo?""They must be having so much fun because they haven't called or come back yet though, I sent the name of the hotel, and it's addressed to Leo.""Okay.""I thought you might be hungry when you woke up, so I ordered some room service.""Oh, nice."He took the tray from the dresser to the bed and placed the steaming cup of chocolate and pancakes before me, "it smells nice.""I know right.""What about you? Are you not hungry?""I'm fine""We could share.""I'm good, seriously.""Okay."I smiled and went on to wolf down the food. Guess I was hungry after all, even though I had eaten with the three of

LeoThey came in laughing, both of them looking like newlyweds who couldn't get enough of each other, and there was a necklace on her neck. It seemed like they had gone shopping."Mummy" Nathan, who had spent the past couple of hours dragging me onto one, ride after another, said and rushed to his ever-so-shining mother."Sweetheart, you're back. Did you have a nice time?""Yes, Uncle Leo bought me chocolates and ice cream and sweets, and we climbed different rides. See he bought me this toy."She placed her hands on his hair and ruffled it before walking both Nathan and Henry to where I sat in the lobby. "So sorry to have kept you waiting", she said."No, it's nothing. Trust you had a good time too", I stared at the necklace and somehow made her nervous."Yes, I... We should be on our way then.""Sure, I'll just check out of the hotel."He walked towards the receptionist, and I was left alone with the two of them. Nathan came to sit beside me, and he placed his hands on my thigh while

Ariadne Turns out the guy was the girl's ex-boyfriend and had tried to harass her because he couldn't understand why she would want to break up with him."Men," the lady who was heavily pregnant said with a nod, and we watched the police take care of the rest.After that, we found ourselves in a drinks café, mostly because the other lady couldn't drink alcohol."Are you okay?" I asked, much unlike me, and she nodded."Thank you... For catching... Me,"Seems like she had forgotten she was arguing over her reservations earlier."You are welcome.""What would you like to have?" The waiter asked and I shook my head."I'm good, though I would like a packaged red velvet cake to go."My dessert from the restaurant had sadly been crushed by the incident and I needed my sugar."Okay, ma'am,""I would like a smoothie.""Okay, ma'am."The lady left and we stared at each other."So... You're an actress, right?""I thought you did your research already.""Yes, but you know...""Are you being this

LeoIt was more of an avenue now, to see Layla and spend more time around her. I smiled as the little man sighted me and hurried to hug me, "Daddy."His teacher was standing by her desk and had a smile on her cheeks, "Mr Cooper, right?""Yes.""Mr. Henry made a list of people who can come to pick him up, and it's just him, Miss Carter, and you.""Okay.""I'll take him then.""Sure sir."I wore his backpack for him and we left the private school."Where are we going?" Cute Nathan asked."To get you some treats, what do you say?""Yay. Will mummy be there?""I'll call her, so she can meet us there," I replied.He bopped in his seat and I smiled to myself. It was like he had this matchmaking spirit and wanted to join me and his mother together.I didn't mind, of course.The happenings of the other day popped into my head and the smell of chocolate and flour which she had reeked off yesterday stayed etched in my memory.We got to the café after a while and I got him a chocolate sundae. He

SofiaI couldn't concentrate in class, mostly because of the subject being taught. History was my least favorite subject and I detested it.Apart from that, Eugene was also beside me making some funny faces and that made me laugh silently."You're being silly" I whispered."Whatever." He winked at me."Eugene and Sofia, would you please tell the class what I said about the Second World War." The teacher called on you and I swallowed hard. I wasn't even listening to what she had been saying since.The class finished a few minutes later with I and Eugene having humiliated ourselves and I glared at him playfully, "You caused that.""What do you mean? You were the one who was talking loudly." He countered.I stopped by my locker and grabbed the textbooks for the next class."You just wouldn't admit it, would you?"He rolled his eyes."Come with me" he suddenly said

AriadneBeing an actress wasn't an easy job and I didn't know that till I got into the industry. Of course, my parents had helped me, but I could say it was my talent that kept me in the industry."Here." Jeremy handed me a bottle of water once we were done with the allotted scenes for that day.The male lead came to meet me, "You did a good job today.""You too." I smiled warmly."Want to have dinner with—""I'm preoccupied for the rest of today." I cut him off immediately."Then...""I'm also busy for the rest of the week and other weeks to come. What I'm saying, Michael, is that I won't go out with you."I walked out to the car and Jeremy hurried behind me carrying the load of things that were my essentials for any shooting day."My phone," I asked when we were in the car.He handed it to me."Any missed calls""No.""I heard it will soon be Mr a

LaylaI was sketching a country-style summer skirt on my desktop when the doorbell rang, and I went to open it.I gasped at the huge bouquet that greeted me, "what?"Henry's face popped into view from behind them, "Henry?"He shifted the bouquet to one side and hugged me before handing it over to me, "Wow, they're so pretty.""Just as you are.""What's the occasion though?" I asked, blushing at his statement."Nothing, must there be an occasion to give the woman of my heart flowers.""Stop, did you learn how to woo a woman during your business trip?"He smiled, "how have you been?""Great" I replied."And Nathan?""He's still at school.""You look pretty, by the way."I was literally in a loose shirt with shorts underneath and my hair in a bun. No way I looked so pretty."Thank you," I muttered.He smiled and followed me to my stud
