Emerald
The moment I stepped into my house, there was this feeling of being at peace with myself. Until Flora basically screamed my name from the stairs and raced down to come hug me and Mimi.
EmeraldWho was he calling if my mom happened to be upstairs?I swallowed and was about to turn back when I heard more.
EmeraldI couldn't wait to get rid of the bad memories immediately we got to our apartment that I took some painkillers and went straight to bed.
JamesThe first thing I did when I got home was call my dad. Of course he’d come to the conclusion I was out partying and getting wasted—I was but not in public. He always liked video calling to see what state I was.
EmeraldAfter a long day at work and school, I was back home to this empty house that didn't have Mimi or anyone to keep me in company. Then Mimi’s advice about Devin crossed my mind making me smile. Perhaps taking it won't be so much of a bad idea.
JamesEvery time I saw Emerald again, it was like the universe was reminding of how much of an ass I was to her.
EmeraldImmediately the taxi stopped at my apartment building, I wasted no time getting out. James rushed to my side of the car but I was already starting inside.
Emerald Pursing my lips, I brought my phone out of my apron to check if Devin had returned any of my texts. I wanted to see him so I apologized about not texting him back and asked to meet up later after work hours. He was still yet to give me a reply and I silently hoped he wasn't trying to get payback.
EmeraldAfter taking some time to myself to breathe and analyze the situation, I came out of the restroom to meet Sandra leaning on the wall with her hand on her waist.
