Sitting in the small balcony of my room, I watched as the sun set in the azure sky of the evening. It was about six already, and I was well prepared for my journey to Florida. After a long thought on how to start a new life, Florida was my final decision on where to go. I just needed to leave this place. It only brought back bad memories.
Seven years ago, I had sat in this same balcony, on this same old chair. Vividly, I could remember that Sebastian had been my seatmate in our chemistry practical class. We had worked together for two hours, and that had been more like a year to me. When I had gotten home that day, I couldn't stop telling Lauretta about his looks, and how he made my heart skip beats. If I had known they would be the ones to make my life miserable, I wouldn't have loved them so much.
I felt something wet on my cheek, and noticing it was a crazy tear, I grunted a little. I had already promised myself that I wouldn'
The beam of the sun sent a knock on my head, slowly jerking me from my sleep world. Tired, I threw a pillow over my head, grunting under it. I still had to sleep so badly. This should be about five in the morning, so how the heck was the sun up now?"Mommy," I mumbled, half asleep, squeezing my face, grunting further."Yo baby!" A voice cried. I could hear the person, but the sound was faint. "You don't wanna miss your first day, do you?"I hissed, pressed the pillow against my left ear, digging more into the bed. "Go 'way. I need some rest.""Fine!" The person snarled. "Rest all you want, ok? But ensure to remember I tried waking you up. If you blame me later, I'm gonna smash your boobs."Wait, what did she mean? What was I to remember? Was there some kind of—"Oh my gosh!" I flung the pillow from my head, sat up quickly, blinking like a confused
Sebastian________Going through the files my personal assistant had dropped on my table, I frowned at myself, grunting at every minute. Today was one of the most terrible days of my entire life. Since the company I had wanted to work with had sent me a crazy email, I hadn't been fine."Sup?" My best friend, Ethan, jerked into my office, smiling widely like he just won a contest.Turning back to the file, I hissed. How could he be smiling while I was being frustrated?"Nothing's up. I'm only being so frustrated right now. Life's getting too stressful for me," I declared.He chuckled, sat on the seat on the other side of my well furnished wide table, then drummed his fingers on the table to obviously catch my attention."What?" I turned to him with lowered eyebrows, flustered at nothing specific.He sig
Shocked, I moved my lips without uttering a word. And noticing that I looked stupid, I huffed. I couldn't say anything."You're silly." Adrienne chuckled, and tapped his arm. He raised his other hand, and pinched her cheek.What was all this? How could she be paying attention to him when a whole Sebastian Martinez was in front of her? Although I had huffed, she didn't even look at me. Was she that in love with him?Fine, he was tall and handsome. Amber brown eyes, fine pink lips, straight nose and nice brows, he all possessed. But that wasn't an excuse for her to not pay attention to me. For jeez' sake, a lot of girls cried to stay with me. So what was with her? Had she forgotten I used to be her husband? Couldn't she pay some respects?"Guess who's cute on her first day" the irritating guy uttered. I wanted to scoff, but that would seem rude. And wait, how could he feel so comfortable to
Adrienne_______Sitting on the entrance in Claire's little house, I raised my knees to my chest, wrapped my arms around them, dropping my head in between them. To be honest, this day ended up being a really bad one for me.Fine. After I had told Sebastian to leave me, he had done so. In fact, although we sat kind of close to each other in class, he hadn't tried to disturb me. But, in a way, all of this made me feel bad and terrible. When he jerked my arm, it reminded me of how he worshipped my body that night. It reminded me of how he stated that all of those things were lust. It really made me so bitter.I sighed, then shut my eyes for a moment. Inhaling the cool breeze, I wrapped my arms around my body to form a temporary warmth. Staring at the dark sky, full moon and the stars was a habit I possessed whenever I felt so exhausted or frustrated. But when I had stayed with Sebastian, I hardly had time
Slurping on my hamburger, I stared at Claire as she complained about her phone. All I'd say is that I was so confused. I didn't understand what was going on. She kept yelling at it as if it was some kind of living thing."Anything wrong there?" I enquired.Hissing, she took a glance at me. "I don't understand why this thing won't work. I'm so sick of the damn thing right now.""Let me see." I stood from my seat, walked into the kitchen, and took the phone from her.With a deep glare on her face, she tucked her arms around her chest, muttering."Maybe you need to take it to a phone technician. That won't cost much, will it?" I suggested.She sighed, shook her head, then took the phone from me. "Don't worry." Her voice was kind of sad. "I'll just wait till I'm able to get a new one. I don't have money now. And you know I won't wann
She huffed, turned her neck to the side, blinked a couple of times. "I don't want to listen to anything you have to say.""Hey." I ensured I sounded cold as usual. She turned to me, looking colder."First, I don't appreciate you touching me. It traumatizes me," she blurted out. Her voice was low, yet clear, holding a big deal of irateness.Not debating with myself, I released her hand from my hold. Speaking of trauma, I could understand what she meant. It was probably because I had told her I used her body to have some fun. So she still remembered that? After almost four months? Well, how would I have known she appreciated her body so much?I sighed. It was time to be cool."What is going on with you?" I asked as if I didn't know what was wrong. What was I supposed to say?!Her eyes squinted, the intensity in her anger rising. "With me? Are you supposed
I turned my head to look at the trainer. Equally, the woman seemed shocked. She opened her mouth widely, staring at Adrienne like a confused person."Hello there?" The old woman squeezed her already wrinkled face. "Is there a problem? What do you mean? If you don't do the practical, there's automatically no point in you having to come here."Adrienne shook her head slowly, blinked again. "I want a different pair. I reject this person, and I don't think asking for another pair should be a problem.""Young lady." The woman frowned slightly. "First, do you realize you're causing a commotion here? And second, I'm so sorry, but you've got to accept any project partner given to you. The computer pairs everyone according to their admission numbers and names. It's not like we can actually do anything about it."I kept watching the weird drama. What else could I do? Or was I supposed to reject her as we
Thinking about all Adrienne had said, I couldn't concentrate on my work. It was Friday, which meant it was time to work. But instead of focusing on working, all I could think of was how crazy she had seemed threatening. There was absolutely no one who had spoken to me in such a manner. It felt as if her voice was everywhere in my mansion.Feeling so disturbed, I hopped from my seat, heading to the kitchen to grab a hot alcohol. Stepping out, I bumped into something. Maybe someone."Who the heck—" I wanted to yell, but I stopped when I saw it was Ethan. Of course it would be him. No one else had the audacity to come into my study room."Dude, calm down. It was only a mistake," he apologized.I frowned, walked past him, still heading to the kitchen. Alcohol was something I drank whenever I was too stressed out. Right now, it was what I needed. I felt stupid for wanting to
