"Of course, I knew."
"Then why…you forget. That's why it's not needed anymore."
"Can you be specific? What won't be needed anymore?""I mean the kiss. Well, we weren't supposed to be doing it anyway.""Noted!" He nodded and pushed his hands into his pockets.

" I can't tell you!" She screamed back at him."And why is that?"" It's personal.""Personal?""Rather tell me why you're interested.""You don't wanna know." He attempted an American accent which she compared with his French. He’s woefully incapable and that oddly calmed her temper."Yes I want to.”He smiled. "Since it's personal, I either back off or do it my way. It's my decision to make."He looked determined and Destiny knew she couldn't break that."Alright but you can at least tell me where you got that key from.""Not when I'd have to end up looking like the bad guy. A home-wrecker.""I thought you knew what you were getting into when you proposed that we should date.""Yes but this looks as if I am doing it purposely to separate you two.""No!""Pretending to be lovers is to make him regret and feel pain for what he did to

"So, where are you taking me?""Us.""Okay." Her eyes rolled in. "Where are we going?""You'll see.""Alright." She turned to the window and watched everything that he drove past. "You know, I've got a hunch that you're up to no good.""I'm not going to have you slaughtered.""Then?"" It's just something that I don't believe I'm about to do with you." He pulled into a lot."What?" She scanned the area. It looked— No it was a gas station but something about the cars parked in the lot and the people moving inside the Mart made it suspicious."I don't do drugs."

As creepy as it's going to seem, she couldn't shake away the urge to confirm if it was him or someone else. It’s two things. It's either she gets relieved or regrets it.As she staggered in the direction of the moans she realized without doubt that it’s the latter; Regret.She stopped in front of the men's washroom where it's loudest and leaned her ears against the door to listen clearly."Wait." She heard a lady say in a breathy tone. "I thought you were here with someone."Destiny’s heart skipped when realization hit her. They know each other."If I could do what I want to do to you now

"Keep it. I don't want to hear it." The last thing he wanted was to have her telling him what she's going to regret when sober.She pouted. "Then you should leave." Then folded her arms across her chest.It cracked him up. The broken glasses that she's still barely aware of were still hanging on her face. It also revealed her brilliant blue eyes which are now dull and lifeless.Her entire face has almost been smudged by her lipstick. Her golden locks only need a hand to comb through to bring it back to perfection.Apart from that, every other thing is in place but if it had not been, she'd still look perfect and remain the most beautiful woman in

Imagine that unfortunate day where you were indisposed, getting caught up, and beaten by rain until your ass is frozen and all you crave is just the tiniest amount of warmth. Then you suddenly reached home and ran to the fireplace. That feeling of suddenly getting warmed, bringing an end to the shivering and gnashing of the teeth gradually.Or maybe the sudden coldness you feel while asleep at dawn then you pull the covers all over you, desperately seeking warmth and then you find it and you sigh and purr in relief?That's how she feels now. She feels like a chicken in the warm winks of a mother hen. All she has to do is to snuggle closer and closer for more warmth.Sweet warmth.Not until she heard that familiar cologne mixed with his scent and the gentle touch of his goatee against her forehead or the strong arms she could feel

"Torture is always the best way, darling. For who will I commemorate for jumping me, food poisoning me then—"There he goes again. "Alright." She cut him off."You should have woken me up.""Did I tell you how much you annoy me when you're awake?""Oh." She mumbled.She was served a sandwich, hotdogs, and a smoothie. She went for the sandwich and smoothie instead."You know, you also wanted to have sex with me last night." Wilhelm chipped in.She almost choked on her sandwich and began to cough. "Now I wish I didn't wake up.""I'm only filling you up, you know." He winked."Thanks but I don't want you to.""I'd try."

"Why?" Was the question she asked him while her heels kept falling in a thud on the woolen carpet.She had called Wilhelm who had sneaked out of the airport the previous day to talk to him about a decision the board members took."I've been with you for the past hour and all you did was run a marathon in front of me with the only thing coming out of your mouth being a question?""Alright." She paused before him and took a deep breath. "I want to know why everyone is rooting against me, against you, us." She pointed a finger to her chest."I still don't get you, Destiny.

She added a final touch to her made-up face and stared for a moment at it.The idea was to look simple. No make-up. But the uncertainty of how the night is going to end plus the mixed feelings about it caused her to add a thick layer to her face as if the walls she had erected around herself weren't enough.She looked sophisticated. Well, she has always been. But there was something more to her demeanor tonight. She was trying to paint a collected, unshakable, unbreakable, and firm reflection. Also, a confidence as high as the skyscraper.The door opened and she sensed the presence of someone." The tons of foundation layers you apply to your face
