Chapter 10 “Ugh, this humidity is going to ruin my curls if it continues this way” I tried to keep a neutral face as I stared at the complaining blonde, she had on a T- shirt that says “FUN SUMMER” and was looking at the broken bottles of champagne on the floor. It seems like she will break into tears sooner than I thought. I averted my gaze to stop me from rolling my eyes. It was the first official day of my presume Fun summer retreat with Miss Diaz and I was standing amidst a group of people from different companies. We had just finished introducing ourselves with Miss Diaz doing most of the talking, but I could hardly recall anyone’s name. When I woke up this morning, Miss Diaz was no where insight, she had already left the room with a note on my bed side telling me she already left for a very crucial meeting and drooped the address of where she would be next, and I knew already that’s where I will be meeting her. There were more people that aren’t my age a
Silently Miss Diaz turned to her back after she was done dressing up , and I was still standing at the same spot, with my towel still wrapped on my body. I wasn’t so shocked I hadn’t moved but I was sure she was , and she understood that without me saying any words. “Wear something comfortable, we will be going for a walk” Miss Diaz said in her bossy voice. She’s such a sinister.I was wearing a short jumpsuit and palms since we will be walking on sands, miss Diaz was wearing a camouflage cargo pants and a matching jacket coupled with Air-force trainers. “We can go now.” I said as I walked past her and was now standing In front of the door. My body was still on fire, and I couldn’t bring myself to look at her. For the next few moments we walked in silence in the direction of the sea. The sounds of people faded away until all we could hear was the susurration and whispers that comes from the sea. “You know” Miss Diaz said, breaking the awkward silence between us “it’s q
“the ice cream, I took a little lick out of it and he smiled at me as encouragement.The image of my father blurred away, and I found myself standing at the front door of my house.I was standing there, with my boxes layer down at my feet. My mother was yelling at me, and my father stood at the corner with his eyes not looking at me. “Mum pleas” I begged, my voice trembling “don’t do this, I’m still you’re daughter, I - I can go back to conversion and I will be normal again, I will do anything. Please”“No,on this day you’ve seized to be my daughter” my mother’s voice was firm. It lacked any emotion. Lacked any sympathy or pity in it. “Daddy, please” There was no reply. He couldn’t even look at me. “Get out” my mum said. Her voice was harsh. “Out, Now!” There was the sound of my trembling voice echoing in multiple please.Mum, please. Please. Pleasee.“Sidney. Hey Sidney, wake up” a voice said from above me. I could feel hands were on my shoulders, shaking me furiously. “Please
“Would you like to go for a speedboat ride, Sidney.” “You have a speedboat” I asked dumbly like she has not just mentioned that.“Uhm, yeah I do have a speedboat and also a Titanic ship, now you make a choice princess, come” she turned around and began walking towards the beach, I guess that meant I should follow her, so I did. I walked behind her, taking in her beautiful curves and toned body through her bathing suit and her long sexy legs. A number of people whizzed passed us, spraying water everywhere. “Here we are” miss Diaz said, stopping in front of a speedboat.It was big, the normal kind of big, painted white and a blue painting of the sea with lily on the side of the water, the art on the boat was simple yet beautiful just as it’s owner. One could easily notice the luxurious interior look of the boat, not minding its form, that’s one thing about Miss Diaz, she has the power to turn simplicity into maleficent.“It’s beautiful” “I know right” I never meant for her
“You’ve been sitting here alone for awhile now, looking like one of those lonely girl French paintings”. I snapped my neck around meeting a brunette lady with an apron that has the hotel name on it, she has a radiant blue eyes, her face has the evident look of stress on it, and with one glance one could tell she needed a break. The sun has gone down now, giving rise to the dusk twilight. The beach looked almost empty, just the roaring sound of the ocean, and clicking sound made by me. But now I have the company of some stranger talking to me looking all smily and all I could do is sit here and gawk at her. “Hey, my name is Melissa, you don’t mind I join you?” Her Spanish accent was strong in her sentence, i nod my head in respond and shifted to make space for her. She sat next to me, “what is your own name?” She asked.I’ve clearly lost it by not returning back her greetings properly.“Am Sidney” I said bringing my lips to a slight smile. As I looked up at her. “This place l
Chapter 15 “So what you’re saying is that, your-so-urgent business trip turned into honeymoon, huh?” May said from the other end of the phone. I blushed to myself, “No that’s not what I said, and you’re going so fast”“I mean, I’m just saying, the whole thing you just said awhile sounds like a lot fun and...” “And what!” I said cutting her short.“I don’t know?” May replied laughing.It had been two weeks getting back from the retreat and, things actually were becoming quite different. I got to see the soft side of Miss Diaz, and it was beautiful and I couldn’t help not being in love with it. She made sure I call her everyday once I get home from work, she worried about me and I don’t totally like that, but I love the warmth that comes with the feeling of me knowing that she’s thinking about me. “Okay May, I’ve heard you, now can I go?” I said rolling my eyes, even though I know she clearly can’t see me. May was still laughing when I hung up the call. ~~~~~~~~~~~~
Miss Diaz had dropped me off at my front door, as she helped me bring up the clothes we had purchased. I was so glad she hadn’t proceeded on coming inside my house. I lay down on my bed staring at my white ceiling like there’s some sort of thing written there which I’m trying to decipher, the more I looked the more confused I get. I wasn’t actually trying to figure anything out, for the past twenty minutes Miss Diaz left, I’ve been having difficulties getting the thought of her off my mind. She lingers in everything I think of or do. I could be imagining her doing all sort of things, I often wonder what she’s doing, what she’s eating, who’s she texting or talking with. I was lost in these thought of her, I didn’t hear the knocking on my door. I sprang on my feet the moment the knocking repeated.Shit.Who could it be?I wasn’t expecting anyone.I opened the door and immediately felt goosebumps all over my skin at the sight on my face.I stood fixated, I blinked my eyes couple of
“Do you just wake up and decides to be mysterious all day?” I asked, leaning my head against the car window as I turned to look at her. “Sometimes.” Miss Diaz replied. Her smile grew deeper, but she had nothing more to it.“We’re here” Miss Diaz suddenly announced, pulling the car to a halt. By ‘here’ I had no idea what she was talking about. We were parked in what seemed to be a garage, with some few expensive looking cars parked as well. I turned my head slowly to look at her, just to see that she was already observing me with a smile on her face, she placed her hands gently on my hand which was on my thighs before bringing her eyes back to mine “I don’t want you ruining the hem of your dress.” I bit my lips nervously as I nod my head in response. “Let’s go inside” I definitely did not want to go further inside the creepy looking place, there were cars parked outside but no single noise was heard coming out from the building. Miss Diaz stopped walking which allowed me to ca
