<< THE NEXT MORNING

Sander stirred to the other side. She rolled freely to the floor with a loud thud. She released a sharp cry of pain as her head collided heavily with the hard surface.

She rubbed her head as she rose up. Things spun quickly around her. She held the wall for support as it felt like her feet was being lifted from the ground.

She looked around the room when she had gotten over it. The room was unusual quiet.

She wore her flipflops and skipped out to the living room. Fin

  • A SECOND CHANCE IN LOVE: A MARSHMALLOW LOVE    036

    The entire house has been quiet as though a bucket of ice water had been poured over it. Kensington sat on the couch directly opposite the dining room where Laura sat eating absentmindedly. It felt as though she could read her thoughts. Laura has been in a state of shock since she came across the video of Kensington displaying ridiculous sexual acrobats. Laura just stared into space. Kensington was scared. So many things ran through her head. She wondered if Laura would throw her out of her house. It seemed like everyone in Massachusetts had a problem with porn actors, they don't seem to accept them in their society. Her last resort would be to move to another city, very far away from Massachusetts and Washington as a whole.“Laura, Are you going to talk or keep staring?" Kensington decided to break the ice. Laura turned her head to her direction. Her eyes bored into her.“It was you in the video right?" Laura asked.“Yes.." Kensington bit her lower lip and averted her gaze w

    Tears welled up her eyes. Kensington flinched. "The first man I trusted broke my trust and left for another woman…. My father," Her voice fell low, she turned her gaze to the floor. Kensington could feel the hurt emanating from her even by sitting right next to her. “My father broke me. He pretended to care and love but did it only for his own personal gain." She sniffed and rose up, “They say all that glitters are not gold." Kensington noticed the slight shakiness in her voice as she paced to the window, “Mom loved him. I loved him. We all did but he never loved us… truly.” "He was only there for the money he could get from Mom but when Mom's business vrashed, he revealed himself. He turned hostile to us and was always violent until he announced his new family,” She raised her hands to her face and gently stripped off the stain on tears on her face. "I wasn't fully recovered from that and I met Alejandro. I thought he would be different but…" she paused. No words proce

    Looking around carefully, she picked her pace and walked out of the restaurant. It was quite dark outside. She hailed a cab and was about to get in when she noticed a man trudging towards her. His eyes were hidden behind the dark spectacles he wore but she could sense his viciousity. She hurried and got into the cab. The man stretched quickly and tried to grab the door but the cab driver started the engine and throttled the car down the road. Her heart pounded erratically and audibly. She held her breath and looked behind to see the man gritting in annoyance. She heaved in relief and hugged herself firmly. She got to her home in time to meet Alejandro at the door again. “Kenzie?" He called her and ran to her. He embraced her warmly. She could hear the soft sound of his heart beating against his chest.He exhaled and stroked her hair after disengaging from the embrace, " Kenzie, Have I offended you?” He asked with a clear tone that made her brows arch.Why was he asking this? Does

    She woke up to meet the text from Sander. She picked herself up from the bed and dashed to take her bath. She washed herself thoroughly in a bid to wash off the misery wrapped around her. After taking her bath, she selected denim jeans and a blue shirt. She brushed her hair backwards and tied it up with a hair band. Her chest plodded. The hair band was the same one Alejandro gave her. It carried his scent. It made her feel his presence. She wrapped her hair up, picked her phone and stepped out of the house. When she got to the living room, she met Laura discussing with her mother in low tones. When they saw her, their lips hung apart, they stared with their eyes almost dropping from the socket. She looked like a shadow of herself. She was lanky and her collar bones popped out. Her eyes were sunken.“Kenzie, Where are you going to?" Laura inquired, running her eyes down her body.“I want to see a friend. I'll be back," She tried to give a smile but failed as the smile felt like

    Mr. Henry. He was the only one who knew about her past and who must have told Javier about her. Her heart sank. Jerome would also be informed. Goosebumps spiralled from her arms to her back. It felt like invisible eyes were watching over her. Instantly, she began to fret. She folded her fingers tightly and wrapped her hands around her body. She curled over.“Are you okay, ma?" The cab rider asked while trying to catch a view of her through the rear mirror. Kensington nodded, “I will drop at the next stop," She said, feeling a large lump in her throat. They got to the next stop. Kensington paid her fare and continued on her way down to the house. The few people she met on her way casted glances at her in a way that made her nervous. She folded her hands over her chest and walked stealthily to the house. She knocked on the door. Laura opened up and she walked in.“What is it, Kenzie?" Laura inquired with curiosity impinged in her tone. Kensington pulled up a smile even th

    He dropped a letter on the table before her. She glared at it like though it was a potential weapon set against her. Her throat bobbed, “Sir, What is this?" She asked with confusion darting in her eyes. “Take a look…" Javier gestured, turned away from her and walked to the window. With shaky hands, she picked up the letter. She opened it up with mixed emotions. Her heart was racing. Her eyes did a quick scan of what was written in the letter. It was a sack letter. Her heart beat dropped. "Please, don't take my job away from me,” she went down on her knees."I wish I didn't have to. But keeping you here will ruin my business. You have to leave,” Javier said without sparing her a glimpse. His voice lacked empathy, it was flat and low. That was it. She had lost a job, the very job that made her feel alive, just because of a crazy past. She picked up her broken self and left the room. She felt somewhat cold while walking out of the store. All eyes were on her, she could hear t
