I was feeling really anxious and nervous as I approached Heather. I had never asked her for any favors before, but now I was desperate and I needed her help. My heart was pounding as I tried to find the right words to say.“Heather,” I began hesitantly. “I don’t know how to say this to you, but I don’t think there’s any better way to say it. As you know, I haven’t been paid for the past three months. So, I haven’t been able to pay my rent to Biddy… I mean, your mom. I was just wondering if you could talk to her and ask her to give me a little more time… I swear on my dead grandma that I will pay her rent.”Heather looked at me with shock and disbelief. “I…I don’t know what to say,” she stammered. “I’m sorry, but I can’t help you. You know how my mother is. She’s a miserly person who won’t lend a penny to anyone, not even her own daughter.”Tears welled up in my eyes as Heather’s words hit me like a ton of bricks. I had been clinging to the hope that she would be able to help me, but n
couldn’t believe what I was seeing. Heather, my best friend, was flirting with a complete stranger who seemed so wrong and full of lies. I could feel my blood boiling as I watched her giggle at his every word. I knew I had to do something to stop her.I cleared my throat and said, “Heather, have you forgotten that you need to go home?”Heather looked at me in confusion, her eyes wide with surprise. “No, I don’t think so,” she replied, still smiling at the man.I elbowed her gently and shot her a glare. “Your mother has a doctor’s appointment and you have to drive her to the clinic. Don’t you remember?” I said, trying to keep my voice calm.Heather’s smile faded as she looked at me. “Doctor’s appointment?” she asked, her voice laced with doubt.I nodded, my heart racing. “Yes, you must have forgotten about it. Come on, we should leave now before Biddy comes here, I mean your mother.” I said, grabbing her by the arm and pulling her away from the man.Heather stumbled as I led her away,
Heather’s phone began to ring. She took it out and glanced at the screen.“My mom is calling,” she said.“Answer it and talk to her,” I replied.“Okay, okay. And you should go tell that girl that you’re going to help her before she packs everything up. Come on, move quickly.”Heather left to talk to her mom while I headed towards Victoria, who was standing with the photographer and director, instructing them to pack up. My gaze traveled to the other side of the room where Declan was smirking at Victoria, probably thinking he had accomplished something. He took out his phone and started typing. I didn’t know who he was messaging, but I could guess it was probably his boss, telling him about their successful plan. I felt bad for them because I wasn’t going to let it happen.I took a deep breath and walked straight up to Victoria. I overheard her saying, “I’ll talk to Eden about it, but for now we need to pack up.”“No one needs to pack up until we finish the shoot,” I said from behind h
" Do you need anything?"" Yeah, a little peace of mind because I can't work in negativity and Declan is bringing the negativity."" Darling, don't worry about him. I'll take care of him. You just need focus on your work. And the rest is on me." Victoria said and I nodded my head. And she further told me about it that she is bringing the coffee for us not the negativity. I smile and she left the studio.I stood alone, feeling lost in my thoughts when suddenly my phone began to ring. I walked over to the table and took my phone out of my bag. Glancing at the screen, I saw that Ed was calling me and my heart skipped a beat. I hesitantly answered the call." Heather?" he said, his voice filled with concern. " Ed, why are you awake at this time of night?" I asked him, my voice barely audible. " I can’t sleep and you’re also awake at this time," he replied." I can’t sleep either," I admitted. “Why can’t you sleep?”" I can’t sleep because I was thinking about something," he replied, his v
Eden's POVI was sleeping peacefully in my room, the soft hum of the birds lulling me into a deep slumber. Th sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow over the room. I was lost in a dream, a smile on my lips as I drifted further into unconsciousness.Suddenly, I was jolted awake by a loud banging on the door. My heart raced as I sat up in bed, disoriented and confused. The banging continued, growing louder and more insistent. I stumbled out of bed and made my way to the door, my mind racing with possibilities. Who could be at the door at this hour? What could they possibly want?I hesitated for a moment, my hand hovering over the doorknob. The banging grew louder, more frantic. I took a deep breath and turned the knob, pulling the door open.I saw Declan standing at the door, his face contorted with anger and frustration.“Why are you pounding on my door like a madman? Have you lost your mind?” I demanded, my voice rising with each word.I took a deep breath, trying
As the elevator door slide open. I stepped through the doors and make my way to the studio. Sure! Here’s an expanded version of the scene:I stepped into the studio, my eyes immediately drawn to a beautiful dress displayed on a mannequin. The dress was a white, with intricate beading and embroidery that sparkled in the light. The skirt flowed gracefully, as if caught in a gentle breeze. I couldn’t help but imagine how stunning it would look on someone.As I walked further into the room, I noticed a girl sleeping at a table. Her head was resting on her arms, and her long hair cascaded over her face, obscuring it from view. She looked peaceful, as if lost in a dream. I wondered who she was and what had brought her to this place. Was she a designer, working late into the night? Or perhaps a model, taking a break between photo shoots?Around her, the floor was scattered with fabric and beads, as if she had been working on something before falling asleep. The peacefulness of her slumber wa
“Damn it! I’m going to be late for work,” I exclaimed and jumping to my feet. It was a lie, because I couldn’t let Ed recognize me. Why the hell was he stalking me? I was so done with this. “Please, God just make me invisible so he can’t see me,” I begged silently. I stormed towards the exit, but Ed stepped in front of me, blocking my way with his infuriating silhouette.“Hey! Wait up, where do you think you’re going?” he demanded." What do you mean? let me go!" I tried walk pass him but failed to do it because he was blocking the exit. He was staring at me so intensely, his eyes never leaving mine. It felt like he was trying to read my thoughts, to understand what was going on inside my head. I could feel the heat of his gaze on me, and it made me feel exposed and vulnerable. I shifted uneasily under his scrutiny, wishing I could just vanish into thin air. But he didn’t look away, and I knew that I couldn’t avoid him forever. My emotions were a jumbled mess - frustration, anger, fea
All of a sudden, he started to laughing.I didn't understand why? or what just happened to him suddenly but he just started laughing.I stood there, watching as Ed laughed sarcastically at me. His laughter echoed in my ears, making me feel frustrated and confused. I didn’t know what to do or say. I just stood there, feeling the heat rise to my cheeks as he continued to mock me. I wanted to scream, to tell him to stop, but the words wouldn’t come out. I felt powerless, like a puppet on strings being controlled by someone else. I clenched my fists, trying to control the frustration that was boiling inside of me. But it was no use. The more he laughed, the more frustrated I became. And yet, I couldn’t bring myself to do anything about it. I just stood there, watching as he made a fool out of me.I asked Ed, “What’s going on? Why are you laughing so hard? I didn’t say anything funny.”Ed smirked and replied with a hint of sarcasm, “You’re kidding, right? What makes you think I’m following
