Emerald
I felt my stomach do multiple flip flops as he strode in to take his seat. He didn't seat on the round couch, instead he moved to a separate one where all four of them sat.
James My eyes were definitely kidding me when her stature, tan skin and hair color reminded me of someone I knew. Riley was there to keep me distracted as usual, discussing the things she’d like us to do after leaving the place until I heard s
Emerald “I still can't believe it was him, ” I said, setting the throw pillows on the couch. “It was something out of a movie, trust me.”

Emerald “Good to have you back, ” Sandra said with a small smile. “How did the party go?”
Emerald My date with Devin this time around went from going okay to very good and then hit the rocks until we found our way back at water level.
Emerald I still couldn’t believe we spoke to each other after so many times I’d planned a meeting point in my head where I had moved and looked happy and now that it played out in reality, I looked like a loser and he looked happy.
Emerald Mimi and I rushed toward the table and looked up at each other when we saw the call identity. It was my dad. And I didn't know why I was weirded out by the fact that he called. Mimi also knew how close, let's rephrase that, she knew how our relationship was. Mimi could really tell much about me and my family without even meeting them while I didn't know why she didn't like her mom so much.

But there I was thinking I was in the right frame of mind. After ordering a burger and chocolate ice cream, I took the table at the far end, hoping he wouldn't see me. Wrong move. I had had just one bite when I found him looking at me with a burger in my mouth. Never liked eating out. Or an ex sitting tables away, watching me devour beefy, delicious burger and licking my hands filled with ketchup. At first it was annoying, but... fuck it. That dude had taken a lot from me, I wasn't going to let him deny me of ea
