May went into her room still shaking in fear. She felt very embarrassed that she just gave out all of her secrets to him. This is the biggest secret that no one knows except for her best friend Kayla. Now she just told him out of fear and she's too embarrassed to come outside. She trembly sat down on the bed and took out a pack of cigarettes from her bag. She looked for her lighter around but could not find it. She realised that she could have dropped it before coming so this house. She has not been smoking since she came here and probably since they started interacting more.She kept thinking about what she felt the moment he came close to her full stop as much as she was trembling at that time, she also could not stop herself from wanting him. Why did her heart have to beat so loudly for someone that doesn't even like her? Isn't he just doing this so his parents will leave him alone? He's just using her after all so why won't she get him out of her head? “I can't do this. I despera
“Talk to me please…” His words ringed in her ears. She stared daggers at maids. Then she walked to the center between Jared and them. “I did snap at them because they were asking me stupid questions when I asked for a lighter. But…” She looked at the one who insulted her, “She told me the bitter truth. She did not just stop there. She told me how I was not special and how I'll be sent packing soon. A useless and jobless whore.“Jared's eyes widened. He looked at the maids, his eyes getting darker. Those words pierced his heart like he's the one who was told those words. “Is this true? Did you really say those things to her?“ He asked them. The maid quickly denied, “No sir. We did no such thing! We only told her to leave us alone and she kept threatening to get us fired.“ Jared looked at May. She shrugged, “It's up to you to believe who you want. I don't care. I'll be leaving anyways, like they said.“ “We didn't! She's just trying to frame us…” “We can solve this problem with our
There's silence in the room as Jared stared at May in confusion. This kiss was mutual even though he started it, why would she suddenly slap him? May gasped, then moved back. She just acted on impulse and did not think about the consequences of her actions at all. “I… I want to be alone. Please get out. I won't be able to pack my things with you here. Jared wanted to say something but somehow he stopped himself from doing it. If she doesn't want him, there's no need to try so hard for it. He feels like now he is forcing her to do something that she doesn't want to do. “Fine. I don't know why you hate me and won't hear me out. I won't force you to stay anymore. You are free to go.“ He said, then made his way outside. May watched him leave, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her heart. What exactly is going on with her? Why does she feel sad that she is leaving him if this is exactly what she wants? She finally found her lighter when she rummaged through her other bag that she brough
The restaurant fell silent the moment madam Diana walked in. They really know better than to do anything that will get them on her bad side. She is dressed elegantly in a long designer dress. She is wearing a hat and holding the latest version of another designer purse. Everything about her screams luxury and elegance. She met with one of the waiters who welcomed her and took her to the private room she booked before. She entered inside and saw the one she's supposed to meet already waiting for her. “You're welcome mother.“ Debra said with a smile on her face, going to welcome Madam Diana. Madam Diana smiled back, “I am sorry my dear. I was stuck in the stupid traffic that I came late. I had a prior engagement before this. I hope I didn't make you wait too long.“ Debra shook her head, “Of course not mother! Why would I dare complain about what time you arrive at a place? Besides you're the older one so we should respectfully wait.“ Madam Diana is impressed by Debra's way of puttin
Jared felt restless as he did not see May who has gone into the room with his sister for the past one hour. He wondered what they could be talking about so much. Even though he should ignore it and focus on his pending work, he can't help but feel curious. What would May want to know about him? Didn't she want to stay away from him? “I should check on those two. I can't believe they're still talking since. Since when did Stacey like people?“ He asked Matt who is busy working on the laptop. “We should be at the office by this time. But that can't be possible because you asked us to come home on time. So I am trying to fill in the pending works we have.“ Matt replied, looking frustrated. Jared scoffed, “Hey! I'm your boss you jerk. You should learn how to talk to me properly. What the hell?“ “I am sorry sir.“ Matt apologized and continued working on the laptop. Jared rolled his eyes, standing up. He made his way upstairs, to the bedroom where May and his sister are right now. He did
May stopped in front of Kayla's apartment. She couldn't go home to see her parents because she did not have the confidence to face them now. Kayla wasn't around so she just got in and texted Kayla about her presence. She got to the counter and made herself a cup of coffee. She finally got a lighter to light her cigarette. She drank some coffee while smoking, thinking about Jared. No matter how she tried, she could not get him out of her head. It was getting close to evening, Kayla finally came home. At first she was scared because she thought a thief had entered her apartment. Then she realised she doesn't really have that much stuff that they can steal. “You're back.“ May said out of nowhere. Kayla jumped in fright, “What the hell May! What are you doing here?“ May is sitting on the couch, just staring at Kayla. She saw how Kayla kept carefully walking around the room because she was worried it could be a thief. “I sent you a text that I'd be here since the call wasn't going thr
The next day, Debra went into May's room in the morning since it's a Sunday. She opened the windows and began cleaning the room. Celine happened to pass by and met Debra cleaning the room. She stood by the door admiring Debra who is the perfect daughter. Dave happened to pass by at that moment too. They both stood at the door watching Debra, who is aware of their presence but pretends not to know. “If May was half the daughter Debra was, things wouldn't be this bad.“ Dave said, admiring Debra. “I know she's not the best but I have faith that she'll come around one day.“ Celine said, revoking her husband's words. Debra frowned hearing Celine defend May. She used to support everything Dave says, why is she now defending May? 'Is this because she's now with him and not me? Is she suddenly switching sides this fast?' She thought. “Debra darling, you should leave that since you still have a lot to do today…”Debra turned immediately, “What? A lot? … I mean good morning mom and dad. I
A FEW HOURS EARLIERMay woke up earlier because she wasn't able to sleep well. This is not her first time sleeping in her friend's place but she feels distant from her friend. She did not wake Kayla up. She went to the bathroom and saw the bleach on her hair is already wearing off. She decided to wash it off and get another one later. She then took her bath, while unable to get her head off Jared. She could not stop herself from thinking about him. 'Great. Now I can't stop thinking about him.' She mocked herself. She made herself some breakfast and left for her friend too. She did not want to wake Kayla up, she carefully left the house. She left Kayla a note so she wouldn't be worried when she woke up. She then took a cab going home. She wanted to pick more of her things and avoid her parents since it's early in the morning. The taxi soon stopped at in front of her house. She carefully walked inside the house, expecting to run into one of her family. Especially Debra. Not that she
