The kiss

The sun had barely risen when Brenda awoke, though it didn’t matter to her. She lay there, staring blankly at the ceiling, her mind swimming in the events of the previous night. She hadn’t slept much. Sleep wasn’t something you could force when your thoughts were consumed by betrayal.Will had cheated on her. Her Will.tears dropped down her eyes That single thought played on repeat in her head like a broken record. It gnawed at her, stabbing her heart over and over again until the pain was all she could feel. The image of him with someone else had burned itself into her memory, something she knew she could never unsee.The night before had felt surreal, like a bad dream she could wake up from, but now that morning was here, reality set in. Her chest tightened at the thought of facing the day. How was she supposed to go to work and pretend everything was fine? Her job was demanding enough as it was, but now, the thought of stepping out of her house, much less walking into her office,

Far apart

Brenda couldn’t sleep that night, as she kept thinking about the kiss, even though she didn’t feel the usual spark she would feel when she kissed Will.This kiss was somewhat similar, it was as soft as that of Will, “ Brenda are you still up ?”Brenda’s mum called out to her looking at her with a mischievous smile on her face, but her mother knew too well, to want to spoil the whole news “ what’s going on mother with that smile I guess something must be happening !”“ come on let’s have dinner together your dad is already at the dinning !”“Okay!” Brenda said raising an eye and knowing fully well that there was more to all of this.They finally made it down to the dinning, when her phone suddenly rang, wondering what was happening she picked up the phone “Hello!!”“ no, no, no phone calls at the table dear!!” Her mothers scolded her lightly Brenda put a hand across her phone, “Come on mum just a few seconds, hello!!”“ hi, it Will, can we talk now ?”Will standing right in front of

She said yes

The day went by so fast, with no time to really go out for lunch , as she had wanted to if she kept up with her work. Brenda didn’t give herself free time just to avoid thinking about Will, but her mind still found a way to wander back to him, to the very first time they met. It was magical to her, and she would always cherish that moment for as long as she could remember. “Is there anything I can possibly do to help you out? You’ve been working all day, Brenda!” Her close friend at work , walked up to her, looking at her with emotions in her voice . “I am fine Layla . In a few days, I’ll be able to clear it all!” she said, smiling. “Okay, if you say so, then have a wonderful day!” the lady said, walking away. It was close to closing time, but Brenda still had a long way to go. She knew she needed to wrap up soon so she could at least make it to the dinner date she had with hardy , even though she clearly had nothing to wear. Standing up from her seat, she walked over to

Mother is sick

Brenda made it back to Jane’s place that night, but her mind was racing, making everything feel worse. As she lay in bed, looking up at the empty sky, her thoughts drifted to the moment Will had covered her with his jacket. She felt loved and wanted to be with him and him alone, but what would society say? No one—not even her family—would accept it, and the internet would rain fire. Feeling thirsty, she got up and walked to Jane’s kitchen. Jane’s home was extraordinarily large for just one person. She walked into the dark kitchen, found the water in the fridge, and drank, but a sudden movement outside the kitchen startled her. “Hello! Is anybody there?” she called out. Slowly, she walked toward the living area, searching for the light switch. After a few minutes, she found it and flipped it on, only to see Jane snacking in the dark. Brenda smirked. “Really?” Jane, with a chunk of chocolate in her mouth, looked up, caught red-handed. “Okay, fine, you caught me. But what ar

Trouble in paradise

“Is everything okay?” Hardy asked, his eyes darting from his father to Brenda, but neither of them would speak.As silence took over the room, the atmosphere shifted, though there was nothing to say.Hardy walked over to Brenda. “Come on, dad, let’s have dinner together!”The maid entered as Will took his seat and set down his glass of wine, having lost his appetite.He kept glancing at Brenda whenever Hardy was focused on his meal.“So, tell me, how did you meet… Brenda, right?” Will asked, confirming her name to avoid arousing his son’s suspicion about how he knew her.“Uh, I accidentally met her at a shopping mall the day after I arrived,” Hardy said, looking directly at Brenda, who suddenly felt self-conscious.This took her by surprise. If only she could leave, but that would make Hardy suspicious.“I see,” Will said, his expression hardening as he wondered if she’d been involved with his son all along.Brenda couldn’t bring herself to look at him; she didn’t want to lose her com

This can’t be happening

The car arrived back at her home shortly. Brenda knew things would go from bad to worse, and Will would never agree to his son getting involved with her—nor did she.If only Hardy was ready to accept that they couldn’t be together anymore.“What happened?” Brenda’s mom asked, stretching her hand to pick up her phone, only to see that it was barely an hour since Brenda left.“Nothing, Mom. The dinner just didn’t go well. His father seems not to like me!”“Oh my, I am so sorry that happened. What did Hardy say?”“Well, he tried to speak for me, but his father ended up retiring to bed early with some excuse about having work the next day. Mom, I need to head to bed myself; I have a long day ahead.”“Okay, my child,” her mother said as she began to cough, which startled Brenda. “Are you okay, Mom?”Brenda rushed over, placing her phone on the bedside table. “Yeah, I’m fine, just get me some water, okay?”Her mother responded as her father walked in slowly, obviously drunk. “Really, Dad?

His father had called him to sit down without explanation, and he could sense something was on his mind. Taking

Stay away from him

The finality of his words hit her hard, and a lump formed in her throat. She had come here hoping to rekindle what they once had, but now it felt as though the distance between them had only grown wider.After Cassandra left, Hardy found himself alone in his room, staring at the empty space she’d occupied moments before. He felt a mixture of relief and guilt, unsure if he’d made the right choice by pushing her away.A few days later, he was once again sitting across the table from his father, the atmosphere tense but slightly less charged than before. He had spent those days reflecting on his father’s words and the complicated feelings he held for both Brenda and Cassandra.Will looked at him with a mix of concern and understanding. “I know I put a lot on you, Hardy,” he said, breaking the silence. “But sometimes we have to make hard decisions for the right reasons.”Hardy met his father’s gaze, a newfound resolve in his eyes. “I appreciate your advice, Dad, but I think I need to figu
