Ella
“Why don't you pick the call” I told Jade who has been ignoring a call on her phone.
We were at a fare that Jade forced me to.
She was trying to get me to go on one of the rides with her but no way I was doing that. I have a great respect for my fear of heights and she knows it too.
After all, all I wanted to do was sleep, is that so much to ask?
To add to her failed attempt of getting me to have fun, she's been ignoring a call which comes literally every minute on her phone.
“It's not important” she said dragging me to the cotton candy stand.
Yeah right; it's not important.
It's obvious she doesn't want to talk to the other person in my presence. I wonder why.
“The person probably wants to tell you something important” I tried to mak
“What are you doing here?” Ivan asked.“Scratch that, were you spying on me?” He rephrased his question.“I—I—erm—Jade and I—we erm—” I stuttered sounding so foolish even to myself.It's official I suck.“Come on, get up” Ivan stretched out his hand to pull me up.I untangled my hand from the tangled mess I and Jade were and stretched it out to Ivan who pulled me up.These sparks I get whenever our skins touch keeps getting stronger everyday.I turned to help Jade up but she was already standing and dusting herself while Ivan was checking my body for injuries.“You injured yourself” he said, a frown etched on his face as he was looking at my left elbow which I grazed on the floor when Jade bumped into me.&ld
Ivan“Who are those people we saw at Benny's? What history do you have with them?” Why did I just ask that?She was shell shocked.She totally didn't see that coming.I don't even have the right to throw that question in her face right now. I've never prodded her for it; just that once I asked her about it and I've never asked again, so why the hell did I have to bring it up now.I'm such a díckhead.I'm not even as angry as I let her believe and I just had to throw that stupid question in.I don't totally feel bad about asking her the question though because if I didn't put something harsh out there for her to wallow in, she'll want to know about Jack– the realtor I had a meeting with at the fare.The guy sure knows how to pick weird and awkward places to meet. Our first meet
Ella“Nuts”Ivan?It can't be.Who else calls you Nuts; you disappoint me Ella.But he was furious when I left his house.I turned my head slightly just to be sure it was him and there he was in his car looking unnecessarily handsome.Is this dude bipolar or something?He was vomiting hurtful things just minutes ago; why the hell did he come after me??He can't see me crying and I so don't want to be around him now.Ugh! My life sucks.I bent my head back, he should just go on with his life and leave me alone.“Come on, get into the car so I could get you home at least”Yeah right, that'll move me.Your leg hurts, stop
“What do you want to talk about?” I asked carefully.“Us; I want to talk about us”The guts.“There's no us” I said. “At least not anymore” I added quietly and Ivan rubbed the side of my waist. Up, down. Up, down. Letting me know he was there for me.“I know, I know that and it's all my fault but I want to explain” his eyes pleaded.“We were busy and you interrupted us because you want to explain something you should have explained since?”I really wanted to hear this explanation but not today. I wanted to be with Ivan today and tell him everything about Linc, Sandra and I.“This isn't the you I knew” he said sadly.“What does that mean?” I arched an eyebrow.“You always told me that you hat
“I think I should get that” I told Ivan, untangling myself from our embrace.I went to my table, took the phone from my purse and saw it was Jade that was calling then I answered the phone and went back to the bed to sit by Ivan. I looked at him and mouthed ‘Jade’ and he nodded in understanding and mouthed ‘tell her I said Hi’.“Hey, what's up?” I asked her.“You're alive, thank God! The way he looked so angry, I thought you'll be dead meat by now!” she exclaimed and I looked at Ivan who was suppressing a laugh which caused me to laugh. Her exaggeration skills are over the top.“Ivan would never kill me” I said fondly, smiling at him.“Hm, some tone you're using. Something juicy happened right? You. Have. To. Tell. Me.” I blushed remembering the kiss.“Um, you're c
LincLast Christmas Break“I miss you” Ella told me over the phone as we were saying our goodbyes after talking for hours.I escaped from the yearly Christmas eve party my parents threw to talk to Ella who was spending the Christmas in Singapore with her family.The party was boring and I was tired of faking smiles, exchanging pleasantries that weren't from my heart and most of all my Dad's scrutinising gaze.Nothing I ever did was good enough for him and that night, it was my shoes that he kept complaining about. He wanted me to wear a pair of Giorgio Armani shoes but I wore Gucci shoes instead and he was pissed. I'm pretty sure if I wore the Giorgio Armani shoes, he'll still find a fault, so I didn't change it and by the way how would I have known he wanted me to wear a pair of Giorgio Armani shoes if he wouldn't tell me.Typical dad.I was tired of everything that night and I wanted to hear my girlfriend's voice and of course she made me feel better.“I miss you too, send my regards
At Benny'sSandra asked me to meet her at Benny's so we'll talk about pulling I and my family out from the sinking sand—her words, not mine.She arrived before me and as we were about to enter the restaurant, she stopped me.I guess that's what she's good at, stopping me.“You have to hold my waist and act like you're so in love with me”“Why?” I asked, irritated with the fact that she had to call all the shots.“Well, there might be people from school there and we have to convince them that we're together. You know, you cheating on Ella with me and all that plus your family's life and reputation are in my hands” she smirked and wrapped her vine of a hand around my waist. I had no other option than to do the same because I knew she was right…for the latter though.We walked
Jade“I dropped Ella off at South park to meet Linc, I just hope she'll be alright. I asked her if I could accompany her and she said she was fine but I'm worried about her” I told Joshua over the phone.I was at the spa having the professionals pamper me for a fashion show I was attending later in the evening.Joshua asked me out last week and I said yes but I didn't want Ella to find out because Josh was Linc's best friend. I didn't want her to feel like I was betraying her and I didn't want to say no to Josh so I decided it was best to hide it from her until I'm sure that whatever hatred she has for Linc had subsided.“Linc wouldn't hurt her... at least not physically” Josh tried to assure me; he was probably assuring himself too. I could literally see him running his fingers through his hair in frustration.“I would like to believe that; anyways, I'll have to go off now, I'll talk to you later” it was time to paint my nails.“Okay, bye” “Wait, just to be sure, you're still my plus
