"You said you would hang out"I whined

Lila had told me that she belonged to me and now she was backing out. It wasn't fair and she wasn't even giving me any reason why she wouldn't be able to spend the day with me. I had gone to the site earlier to kill boredom and I had looked forward to spending time with Lila but that plan was no more and the worst part of it was that I was going to die of boredom. Literally.

"I said I'm sorry," she said

"I'm still asking why"

Her phone rang.

"I'll have to answer this," she told me

"Yh,yh pretend like we aren't having a conversation here," I said with irritation.

I examined her as she spoke on the phone. She smiled then blushed, then there was more smiling and more blushing.

"Is he the reason why you can't spend time with me?"I asked as soon as she went off the line

"Who's he, what are you even talking about" she blushed

"You're seriously going to play dumb right now, "I said with folded arms and an arched eyebrow

"He's just a guy from work. It's no big deal he just wants to take me out for dinner that's all" she explained with a shrug and the end

"I would have let you go if you had told me" I sat on the couch

"I'm sorry," she said remorsefully

"You always are. Get going now, you don't want to keep Prince charming waiting" I told her with a smile.

"You're the best" she hugged me

"I've always been"

St Clair's POV

I had gone to the store to get something for Meredith. I got to the floor my apartment was situated at and I saw Meredith leaning on my door with Hazel bending down. I got closer and noticed spilled milk and broken glasses on the floor. Hazel was trying to clean it up and she was bleeding. I didn't like the sight one bit.

"Didn't you see the need to help her? "I asked Meredith with a frown

"I wouldn't help her even if it was to save my life," she said and shrugged.

"Hazel, get up let me help you with your hand"

She didn't respond

"Hazel?"

Silence

"Hazel" I yanked her from the ground and took her inside my apartment and Meredith wasn't so happy about it. I searched for first aid and made Hazel sit down. I removed the shards of glass but she didn't flinch, she didn't even hiss in pain.

"Doesn't it hurt? "I asked

She didn't respond

"Talk to me, does it hurt"I said bandaging her hand after I had  cleaned the cut

"Pain is something I've learned to handle. This is nothing" she whispered 

"Aren't you done already?"Meredith asked irritated

"He is, "Hazel said and yanked her hand away from my palm

"I'll help you clean up, "I told hazel as she stood up

"Your girlfriend wouldn't approve of that" she hissed at me

"I won't" Meredith chipped in

"But I would approve of it," I said. Hazel left

"You're not going anywhere" Meredith ordered

"I have a right to movement and right now you are restricting it, "I said angrily

"I'm your girlfriend, St Clair," she told me

"I'm aware of that," I told her with folded arms. She was trying to delay me and I knew it yet I was letting her. I shoved past her but by the time I was out of my apartment, the floor was clean and Hazel was already inside. I sighed. 

What has gotten into me?

                        ♠♠♠

Krystabel's POV

It was already late and yet I haven't eaten since Meredith had spilled all my groceries on the floor. I looked at my hand. It was getting better but it still hurts.

A knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts on how to avenge my cut hand.  It was St Clair

"How's your hand?" he asked

"Better" I answered 

"I'm sorry for what happened" he apologized

"Hmmm" I nodded

"I was thinking I would make up for the whole scene," he said while rubbing his neck

"Where's Meredith, "I asked

"On a night shift, she's a nurse"

I nodded at the extra information

"Will I be amused? "I asked

"Depends on your definition of amusing"

I bit my lips contemplating whether I should accept the offer or not.

"Hold on, "I told him and went to get my jelly shoes.

Let's go then" he said when I came out of my apartment. We stepped outside and I was shocked, utterly shocked. Paris was a beautiful place at night. It wasn't like New York, not one bit. New York was a city that never went to sleep, a place where dreams were chased, a place that was always alive but Paris was different, it was like a world of stars with lights illuminating all the corners of the streets making it seem like something out of a Disney production.

   The stars shined bright as though they competed. The moon peeked out from underneath the clouds and basked the city in its full glory. It was beautiful, simply breathtaking.

"So apart from Meredith who else is related to you?"I asked

"My mom"  he answered

"Where is she?" I asked 

"Your mom's where?"he asked, avoiding my question 

"Dead"

"Dad? "he asked and I tensed up

"I thought we were changing topics"

He nodded. He seemed to understand that I didn't want to talk about the man I called my father.

"How long is your relationship with Meredith?"I asked after moments of silence.

"Two years and counting  "he seemed proud of the achievement. I scoffed inwardly. His girlfriend was a wolf dressed in sheep clothing.

"How long was your last relationship?" he asked 

"Let's see. 0years,0months,0days,0hours,0minutes and 0 seconds"

"You've never been in a relationship before?" he asked, surprised

"Yeah" I affirmed

"You've never met any guy you're interested in?" he asked 

I shook my head

"Nope"

"So you've never met THAT GUY that would make butterflies in your belly?"

"Nope" I replied 

"You sure?"

"Surer than anything in the world"

Her lips curved into a smile 

"Don't you think I'm that perfect guy?" Sr Clair asked and my jaw dropped.

    Great, just great. You'd be surprised at the things you didn't know. Lila had said that. She knew, she knew that Ace liked me and she kept quiet. Who does that? Was that why she wanted me here? I groaned out in frustration. I hated my life right now. "Are you okay?" Etienné asked, standing in front of me. Why did he have to show up in front of me? "No. People suck. Lila sucks, Ace sucks and most of all, you suck Etienné. You suck more than everybody in this world" I told him, pointing a finger at his chest. Tears were rolling down my cheek. Why was I even crying? "I know "he replied solemnly. Of course, he did. My head felt woozy. I felt like I was being carried away by the wind. I needed to think clearly but here I was, high on alcohol. Alcohol sucks too. I laughed. I was crying and now laughing. I think I'm losing it already. "I'll take you home," Etienné told me as he attempted to get me off the bar stool. I pushed him away from me. "Listen…." I spoke with a slurry

    Guess what? Yes, Lila and I are back together. We made amends over the week. I feel at ease with the St Clair case- mostly because I haven't seen him in a while but whatever. "Ace told me you're leaving," Lila said as she came out of the kitchen with a bowl of cereal in her hands. "I might, I might not. I'm still thinking about it" I responded. "Let me know when you make a decision," she said with a sigh "You don't seem happy about it. You're not going to talk me out of going?" I asked with a raised eyebrow. "My best friend is leaving and I'm supposed to be happy? Well, I'm not. Ace said I shouldn't try to talk you out of it, something about birds and not being meant for their cages" she replied flatly. "He told you that too?" "Did you understand?" Lila asked. I shook my head to say no and we both burst out into laughter. "Why did you start listening to Ace?" She shrugged and ate her cereal. Silence. "What's on your mind, Lila?"I queried when I noticed Lila frowning. "I

    These last few weeks have been total hell for me. I lost a friend-we were more than friends-Krystabel. Meredith is pregnant with a baby I'm not ready for. My life just tipped into disaster. I sighed as I sat on a bench kicking stones. I wish everything could be normal, maybe if Krystabel didn't come to Paris…… Who was he kidding? He wouldn't trade meeting Krystabel for anything. His phone buzzed in his pocket. He brought it out and then answered the call. "We need to talk" she spoke over the line and hung up before I replied. I hated that phrase 'we need to talk'. Every time it was used, there was always bad news attached to it. My mum had told me we needed to talk, I found out she had cancer. Meredith had told me she needed to talk, I found out she was pregnant. I stood up from the bench and made my way to Krystabel's apartment. Was she pregnant? Is that why she called? I can't have two ladies with my baby at the same time. That would be….. I quickened my pace and got to her

    I needed to apologize for what Lila had done. At least that's what I made myself believe. I blew out a breath and then knocked. The door opened. "You?" He looked confused. Like he didn't expect it to be me. I didn't blame him though. I wouldn't have expected it to be me either. I flushed. "Me, "I said "Oh, hi" he greeted. I shifted my weight from leg to leg. I didn't know how to start up this particular conversation. "Is there something you needed?" Etienné asked. "No. Actually, I came to apologize for what Lila did the……" I trailed off not knowing how to continue. He seemed relieved. What did he think I came here for? "No problem," he said with a tight smile. "You and Lila didn't seem to be on good

    Chapter 32 I closed my laptop and let out a breath. I was done with sorting out work emails for today. My remaining plans for today included sleep and eating junk food. Nothing more. It was a near-perfect schedule. It would have been completely perfect if Lila hadn't come knocking at my door. "Hey" Lila greeted with balloons in her hands. I stood with my hands crossed against my chest, communicating to her that I wasn't letting her in. She seemed to understand because she nodded. "These are for you," she said, referring to the balloons. The balloons were red and five in number. Three of them had the words 'Happy birthday best friend' written on them and the remaining two had 'I am sorry' written on them. All in capital letters. I closed the door on her face, went to my bedroom to grab a pin then opened the door to face her. I shoved the pi

    My head felt heavy and it hurt. I felt like bricks had been thrown at my head. I opened my eyes and blinked a few times so that my eyes could adjust to the lights that lit up the room. The smell of disinfectant wafted past my nose. I didn't like it, it made me want to puke. Only hospitals smelt strongly of disinfectant. I didn't die. I was in a hospital A monitor beeped, prompting me to tilt my head to see where the sound came from. There was a drip attached to my left arm. "Good morning Miss Andez" A doctor dressed in scrubs greeted me. I tried smiling but my face felt glued together so I stayed still instead. "How's your head?" the doctor asked. He picked a pen from his pocket and started writing something on his pad. "I'm going to need you to answer me Andez" I liked the way he pronounced my name. "
