Broken Hearts •Beach Time•
Saturdays were one of Natasha’s worst days as a babysitter, mostly because the kids were usually around and she had to take them out to the park or the beach. She had to watch over them every fucking time and no matter how hard she watched them, they still always managed to get missing. Luckily, she often found them before anyone could do and by anyone, she meant Malcolm or his annoying best friend, Brian.But Natasha knew that this particular Saturday was going to be even more stressful than the other ones, mostly because her annoying elder sister, Diane, had decided that it was a good idea to bring Cameron, Nicole and Mirabella over to hang out with Alex and Alexa. Natasha had protested against it, obviously. She couldn’t be going through the stress of looking after five children. Looking after two was already enough problem for her, imagine looking after five!She couldn’t do it.But somehow, Malcolm had overhead their discussion and agreed that it would be a good idea for Alex and

Malcolm was every definition of agitated. He sat in his office, an anxious and brooding look and his face and despite the air conditioner in the office, he could still feel beads of swear forming down his forehead. He couldn’t believe he had just that. He couldn’t believe he had just….The door to his office opened and his best friend, Brian, sauntered into the room, looking a bit pissed. “Why did you call me so hurriedly?” He asked, in a bland tone, trying not to glare at Malcolm. “What do you want?”Malcolm looked at him in silence for a while. Then, he said slowly, “I did something stupid.”“Not your first time but what did you do this time?”“Sit down,” he answered, gesturing to the chair across him. He watched as his friend sat down with a curious look now on his face. “Did I tell you that I arranged a meeting with the McClains?” McClains was a new yet fast rising Enterprise that Malcolm had hoped to invest in and he had been working on pitching a business idea to them for months
Broken Hearts •Dinner•
Natasha stood in front of the mirror, her eyebrows furrowed deep in concentration as she stared at her reflection. She was dressed in a tight white mini-dress that stopped right above her knees. Her long black silky hair had been packed into a bun and she had applied slight make-up of powder, eyeliner, lip-liner and lipstick. She looked beautiful and she knew it. So, why wasn’t she confident? Why was she feeling so nervous? Why were her palms sweating? Why were the lower parts of her legs trembling?The knock on her door interrupted her thoughts and she swung around suddenly, turning towards the door. “Who is there?”“Natasha?” Came Malcolm’s voice. “Can I come in?”Natasha glanced around frantically, searching fro anything that needed to be taken out of the way. Seeing nothing, she hollered, “Yes, come in.”The door was pushed open and Malcolm came in, saying, “The kids are waiting for you to get……..” His words died down in his throat as his gaze landed on Natasha. He stared at her,

SEVEN YEARS AGONatasha looked up into the dark clouds with her brows furrowed. “Hey guys,” she called out to her friends, Paul and Alyssa, who were standing behind her. She turned slightly. “I think rain is about to fall.”Paul took a glance at the sky. “No kidding,” he said, holding on tightly to the shopping bags he had in his hand. “We should start heading home, don’t you think?”“I don’t think I’m going to be able to make it home on time,” Natasha said. “Paul, your house is the closest. We should just crash there for a while. Is that okay?”Paul shrugged his shoulders. “Of course.”“Guys,” Alyssa called as a drop of rain landed on her. “It’s drizzling, already,” she said. “Let’s get going before the rain starts falling heavily.”The sound of rumbling thunder cut

EIGHT YEARS AGO“Hey!” Alyssa burst into the almost empty classroom that contains only a few students. She paused, searching the classroom urgently with her eyes. Her gaze landed on Natasha. She hurried towards Natasha and sat in the space beside her, exclaiming, “You won’t believe who I just saw!”Natasha closes her textbook, took in a deep breath and asked, “Who, Alyssa?”“A really really reaaaallly hot guy!” She said, dragging the last ‘really.’ “I think he is new. If he is not, I would have known about him sooner.”“Of course, you keep tabs on all the hot guys in the school,” Natasha replied, rolling her eyes.“Yeah, duh. If I don’t, who will?”“Another jobless person, perhaps?”Alyssa waved her hands dismissively. “Whatever. Anyway, this guy is so freaking hot. He makes me hyperventilate.”&ld

Natasha stands in front of the wooden table, examining the clothes that was spread out on it. One is a strapless black corporate gown with a jacket while the other is a jean trouser and a crop top. She is clad in her white towel, her hair is wrapped up in an equally white towel and water is slightly dripping on her neck. She bites down on her lips as she tries to pick out what cloth to wear.There is a knock on the door. “Come in,” Natasha says, without looking up, her eyes still strained on the clothes.The door opens and Mina comes in, closing the door behind her. “Hey, Natasha, you asked for me,” she says. Mina is one of the maids but she is treated like family by Natasha and her elder sister, Diane.“Yes. I’m going for an interview and I need to pick what to wear,” she says, looking up at Mina desperately. “Please help me. I'm running late and I’m so damn confused on what cloth to pick!&rdqu

SEVEN YEARS AGOMalcolm opened the door to the house and stepped inside, closing the door behind him. The house was silent and no one was in the living room. Usually, he would meet his girlfriend, Yvette, sitting on the couch in the living room, her legs on the center table while she watched Television. Malcolm let out a smile at the thought. He walked further in the living room. “Honey, I’m home!” He announced as he dropped his suitcase on the table. He glanced around, wondering where his girlfriend was. “Honey?!” He called out again. “Babe?!”A figure appeared at the top of his stairs. He looked up and it turned out to be his mother, Sarah Grayson. She walked downstairs and towards him, her wrinkled face lightened up in a bright smile and her hands spread out. “Hello darling,” she greets warmly, pulling him into a hug.He encircled his arms around her waist. “Mum,” he said as they release each o

Malcolm Grayson walks down the stairs, dressed in a black suit and trousers. He walks towards the dining table where his cook, Evelyn, is setting the table. Upon hearing his footsteps, Evelyn pauses her work, raises her head and sends him a smile. “Good morning, Mr. Grayson,” she greets politely.“Evelyn, good morning. How are you?” Malcolm asks just as politely, drawing out a chair to sit.“Fine. Where are Alex and Alexa?” she asked.“Sleeping. I decided to let them stay at home today. Brian and I will be conducting the interview here today,” Malcolm says to Evelyn and she nods before disappearing into the kitchen.Malcolm begins to eat his food slowly.
