11. A Friend?

________________________..."Suzie?""No. It's me."Willow felt anger rise in her chest. She was not in the mood to listen to whatever this witch had to say."Go away, Trisha. I am not in the mood to tolerate your bullshit." Willow hated how her voice broke at the end of the sentence."Wow, so you can talk." She laughed. "I thought you only let your assistant do the talking for you."Willow hiccupped, violently wiping away her tears. She was a crybaby and she hated it. She ended up crying no matter what - instead of actually being productive and dealing with the problem like an adult."Are you going to open the door or should I get the rest of the office here?" Willow swore as she unlocked the door, hesitating for just a moment. "Well, someone's a mess," Trisha commented as soon as she saw Willow's tear-ridden face. Willow shoved her aside, feeling miserable, and walked over to the sink, opening the tap and splashing water on her face. "You okay?" Trisha must have been the last

12. (Week)Day Drinking

__________________________..."This is your idea?" Willow blinked up at the two-story pub tucked away between a barber shop and an unoccupied building. "I think it's a splendid idea." Trisha grinned, all the animosity completely gone from her face. "It's the work slave's equivalent of day drinking. Weekday drinking." "You seem like you do it a lot," Willow commented but there was no judgment in her tone. "Duh. You think everyone's a boring old hag like you?" Willow rolled her eyes. Friend or foe, everyone called her that. Maybe it was the reason why the paparazzi were hell-bent on painting her the gold digger. After all, what could a rich guy see in a girl with no personality except her body? She didn't even have a face worth falling for. She was average at best. "If you are done pitying yourself, can we go in and have some hard liquor?" Trisha seemed to have read her mind and Willow was surprised. "I am sticking to cocktails."She nodded and the two ladies made their way in.

13. The Loss Of My Life

_____________________...Willow turned to Trisha. "Trisha, you just punched my boss! Now I am going to lose my job!""Huh?" Knox quickly moved to shut her mouth with his hand. "She's drunk. She is not able to differentiate between me and her boss." "Yeah, because both are assholes," Trisha said and then proceeded to cackle like a hyena at her own joke. Willow tried to free herself from Knox's grasp and wiggled her index finger at Trisha, trying to convey that it was not the matter. Trisha swayed in her spot and squinted at her finger. "What two? Why are you holding up two fingers?" Trisha asked. "Ahhh... Because there are two assholes. I get it." Willow shook her head. "Wait a minute, WHY ARE YOU TOUCHING HER, YOU CREEP? LET GO OF HER!" Trisha swung her fist again but this time Knox was ready. He blocked her fist with his free hand. "Calm down lady!" Knox hissed. "I am her neighbor!" Trisha paused. "Huh? Why?" The question was directed at Willow. "Pure coincidence," Knox

14. Walk Of Shame

__________________...Knox didn't get a blink of sleep that night. He had stayed up memorizing as much of Willow's features as he could as she slept in his arms, latched to him like a baby koala. She muttered and sighed and lightly snored, not once giving up her hold on him. "You are killing me, baby," Knox muttered into her soft hair. "Absolutely wrecking me." Willow fluttered her eyes open from the best sleep she had had in a long time. How it was possible would remain a mystery since she was straddling Knox like a child as she slept, not the best of positions for an adult woman to sleep in. Knox could have moved her but this was the closest he had been to Willow in a long time. No, this was the closest they had been physically ever. As for mentally and emotionally, they could not be farther apart right now.As her eyes came into focus, Willow stared at nothing for a few moments, trying to make sense of things. And when she finally became aware of the awkward position she was

15. In A Pickle

___________________...Willow was drinking a cup of cappuccino in a local cafe and nibbling on a blueberry muffin when her phone chimed. She wondered if it was any of the girls but was surprised to find that it was Damien. DAMIEN: Sup, gold digger?Willow rolled her eyes. Give it to seventeen-year-old jocks to joke about something so serious.WILLOW: Nothing much. What's up with you?The reply was almost instant. DAMIEN: Look out the glass. Willow furrowed her eyebrows and looked up, and sure enough the idiot was outside the glass window waving his hand. But he looked so unrecognizable with his hair down, no ink on his skin and in an Anime tee and baggy pants and a bag on his shoulder.Willow looked around, worried there might be some paparazzi lurking about. She didn't want to be called a cougar or pedophile next. Damien made his way in, giving her one more wave before he joined the line for his coffee order. When he had secured his iced macchiato and choco chip cookies, he

16. Is This Goodbye?

___________________...Peter Campell got sacked. Nobody knew what exactly had happened but they all knew it had something to do with the new astonishing friendship between Trisha Panicker and Willow Mason. And Susan Pott. Susan had warmed up to Trisha quicker than anyone had anticipated. She had a problem with her because of how she treated Willow and now that that was over, Susan found no valid reason to have any animosity with the other woman. "You are not a witch after all," Susan told Trisha as they watched the despicable older man leave the premises. He turned around one last time, directing his glare at Willow and Trisha. While Willow squirmed in her spot, Trisha plastered a bright grin onto her face and waved at him enthusiastically making the man seethe in rage. "Trisha..." Willow hissed, reaching for her from where she stood on the other side of Susan. "What?" Trisha grinned at her and then back at the now retreating man. "We have got to give him a warm farewell for a

17. The New Normal

__________________...It had been a month since Knox moved out and there had been no news from him, no calls, no texts, nothing, which was fine because Willow didn't care. At all. AT ALL.Of course, there was news of him. Him and Mia Thompson. The wedding was in December, in three months. Willow sighed as she stared at the pre-wedding photoshoot pictures that Mia had posted on her Instagram handle. It didn't prick her heart as much as she thought it would have and that was a relief in itself. The day Knox had moved out, and the two weeks following that, Willow had cried herself to sleep like the pathetic loser she was. She was crying over some man who had never been hers. Sure, she had a stupid crush on him like some stupid high school girl but there was nothing to act on. And he was someone else's - This, she had to keep reminding herself because her mind kept replaying the same delusional instances where he had shown some kind of affection toward her. "You don't get paid to

18. Baby Sister

______________________...The persistent ringing of the doorbell penetrated her dreamless sleep. Unable to differentiate reality from her unconsciousness, Willow lay there clueless for a few moments before she jumped up, her eyes on the bedroom door. Knox? No, it was definitely not him. But then who else would be at her door so early in the morning and ringing the bell so insistently?Willow rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and got off the bed, putting on her bunny slippers before waddling over to the security system. She turned it on and raised a brow when she saw who it was. And that who was having an argument with her next-door neighbor Zach Herbert. Willow opened the door."There you are! Tell this asshole I am not some fucking 'intruder'!" Natalie Wright air-quoted as she glared up at Zach who had intercepted her outside for creating a ruckus. "She is my friend." Willow massaged her temple as she turned to Zach. "Sorry about that. She is a menace." "Wow, is that what you

19. Breakfast Date

______________________...Zach was stepping out as well when the two ladies left the apartment for their breakfast date. "Do they let just anyone stay here in this building?" Natalie asked obnoxiously as all three of them filed into the elevator box. "You should look for a new place." Willow wanted to tell Natalie that she could not do any such thing for the next two years and that she needed to wait for the next order from her older brother. But, she did not think that the actress would be too thrilled to find out the details of the relationship she and her mother had adored for the past three years. Zach pretended to not hear Natalie's snide remark and turned to Willow with a friendly smile. "Any plans for the weekend?""That's your business how?" Natalie was the one to reply."He is just being polite, Nat." Willow sighed."Yeah? Seems like he is overstepping his boundaries to me." Natalie commented.Willow gave her a flat look and then mouthed a sorry to Zach who just shook h

20. New Article

_____________________..."You are friends with Natalie Wright?" Willow looked up from her laptop and spun around in her chair as Trisha approached her, waving her phone in the air. "Yes?" Willow had a really bad feeling about this. "And she is Knox Wright's baby sister?" Trisha planted her butt on Willow's desk. Her two girls seemed to do that a lot. Where was Susan anyway?"Yes?" Willow didn't need any confirmation to know where Trisha might have received all that information from. Trisha let out a deep breath. "Wheww, that's a lot of information to take in!" Willow nodded. She wanted to know what was it. She knew it was a new article and she tried to tell herself that she definitely didn't care what the paparazzi said about her but she wanted to know if there was anything malicious about Natalie. Willow opened her mouth to ask the questions but Trisha beat her to it. "Can you introduce me to her? I want a selfie with her, or even better a video!" Trisha clapped her hands
