"Happy birthday Jenny. Happy birthday Jenny!" I sang to my bestfriend in her apartment.
"Thankyou bestie!" She squealed and she blew the candles. She then gave me a hug after I put her cake on the table.
"Let's cut the cake.." I said as I walked to the kitchen to grab a knife. After grabbing the knife, I walked back and she grabbed my hand. She raised it and she raised her eyebrows.
"What's this? That ring looks like an engagement ring to me." She said and I sighed.
"Just eat the cake first, shall we? I'll tell you the whole story after that." I said as I gave the knife to her. She cut the cake and she sat me down.
"Now spill, I want to know.. please tell me that you hide someone from me.." She said and I shook my head.
"I went to the cake shop to buy your cake." I said pointing at the cake, "and then when I enter the shop, a guy slipped the ring to my finger and told the woman that he's with that I'm his fiancee."
"And why.. did you bring the ring here?" She asked completely confused.
"Because it's stuck, Jen. I can't get it out." I said as I tried to pull it again. Jen even tried but she failed too.
"Do you know what this means?" She narrowed her eyes.
"What?" I looked at her confused.
"Something good will happen, I can feel it.. maybe fate has decided to come to you." She said and I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah right, I don't believe you." I said chuckling.
"Elsa, you need to take a break. You've been running your whole life. You need to experience love." She said dramatically and I chuckled.
"Not now, I don't need it now."
"What if.."
"Jen, no! Not now, I'm still so young.."
"Fine fine." Jen raised her hands and gestured me to eat the cake.
"Happy birthday, once again." I said and she rolled her eyes.
We continued to eat the cake and after this I have class so I went out and walked there. It's not that far so I'll just walk. I put my earphones on and put some music.
I looked down to see the ring and it's beautiful. I wonder who will Jayson give this to? Seeing the ring made me feel like I'm engaged when I'm totally not. Speaking about Jayson, he's more handsome now. Not to mention that he wore a black suit too.
I wonder who that woman was? Is she a model? She's beautiful and sexy. I wonder why he doesn't like her? I'm pretty sure a guy like Jayson loves to have someone like her as his girlfriend. Okay Elsa, stop thinking about Jayson.
I stopped in front of a jewelry shop and I walked in there. They greeted me politely and there's a couple of customer in there too.
"Hi uhm.. can I ask you a favor?" I asked the woman in front of me.
"Sure. What can I help you with?" She asked and I put my hand in front of her.
"It's stuck, I need to take it off." I said and she looked at me like I grew another head. She grabbed my hand and looked at my ring finger. She grabbed a gel to help but it didn't work.
"Stuck?" I turned to the guy who sat next to me. He was wearing a suit and there's a set of jewelry in front of him.
"Yes." I said and he chuckled.
"What happened?" He asked and I sighed.
"I accidentally wore it and I wanted to take it off." I said and obviously it's a lie.
"Let me try." He said and I gave him my hand. He pinched my ring finger a little. It was hurting me but it's still bearable. He tried to pull the ring but it's not working.
"Your finger hurts?" He asked.
"A little."
"There's only one way to solve this." I turned to the woman who helped me earlier and smiled.
"How?"
"Cut the ring." She said and I looked at her in horror.
"No, I can't."
"After you cut it, we ca-"
"I can't. I have my reasons." I said as I looked at the staff and the man beside me.
"Okay." She left and I looked down to the ring. I stood up and I don't have any other choice but to tell Jayson about this. I walked out but before I reached the door, the guy stopped me.
"I'm Chance, how about you?"
"Uhmmm.. secret." I said.
"Why?" He looked at me disbelief and I gave him a small smile.
"I have my reasons."
"How do I get your name then?"
"If we meet again, I'll tell you my name." I said as I walked backwards.
"I'll keep your promise. I believe that we will meet again and you have to give your number too." He said and I smiled nodding.
"Let's see." I gave him a thimbs up and continued to walk to my uni. I took my phone out and dialed Jayson's number.
"Hello." He picked up in a flat tone.
"It's me, the girl with your ring."
"What's your name?" I should put my name on my forehead next time.
"No need to know my name."
"How can I address you then? Cake girl? The girl who has my ring?"
"I don't care. I wanted to return the ring but it's still stuck. I went to the jewelry shop asking for help but they told me the only wait is to cut it up."
"Don't! It's my mom's." He bursted in shock.
"I didn't! But we don't have any other way."
"Okay, just.. make sure it stays in your finger. I'll find a way. I need your name!" He hissed.
"I don't want to give it to you."
"But you know my name."
"No!" I ended the call. I walked through the hallway of my school. I got into class and I'm so sleep. I hate having my class in the evening. It makes me want to sleep.
"Elsa!" I turned to see Kevin as I got out from my classroom.
"Hey Kev."
"You're done with class?" He asked and I nodded. Suddenly my phone rang and I gestured Kevin to wait and he nodded. I picked up without seeing the caller ID.
"Ring girl!" It's Jayson.
"What?"
"I need you to come to my house and pretend to be my fiancee." My jaw dropped for a second.
"What? No!" I said instantly. I can't believe he just said it like I would agree to it right away.
"You have to!"
"Or what?" I hissed. He always gets what he wants, isn't he?
"Or I'll.." I ended the call and turned to Kevin.
"Wait! Is that a ring on your finger? Am I missing something? You got engaged? But you don't have a boyfriend.." Kevin looked at it as he asked.
"No.. Kevin, I'm not. It's a long story. Do you have class after this?"
"Yeah, in here." He said.
"Okey then.. I'll be going first. I have to go back to the cafe."
"Okay, E. I'll see you soon." Kevin smiled and walked into his class. I walked away from my uni and waited for the bus. Suddenly there's a black car stopped right in front of me. I raised my eyebrows and the window went down.
It's Jayson.
"What the hell are you doing?" I asked annoyed.
"What do you think?" He asked as he looked at the ring. I started to hate this guy because he has zero attitude and completely acting like an asshole. I rolled my eyes and decided to walk away ditching the bus. I put my earphone on and Jayson stopped me by holding on to my wrist.
"What?!" I hissed.
"Come with me to my parents house." He said.
"No. Why should I?"
"Because you're wearing the ring and my mom will go nuts if I told her I've lost it." I laughed at him.
"That's not my problem! You're the one who dragged me into this.."
"Yes, I know but we can't cut it that easily. It's her ring." He said with a begging tone.
"No, I'm not going with you."
"Please.. that ring is my great grandmother's."
"No."
"Unbelievable!" He sighed.
"Yeah.. you should go away!"
"Do you know who I am?" I rolled my eyes and kept walking. He stopped me again but this time he stood in front of me. He showed me his phone with the picture of me inside the class.
"I owned the share to your university and do you know what that means?" He smirked and I raised my eyebrows.
"What do you say Elsa Koshly? You only have a year left, don't you think it's such a shame that-"
"Give me your parent's address-" I cut him and he smirked.
"That's more like it."
I'm currently getting ready to go to Jayson's house. I can't believe I'm agreeing to this. He texted me his address already and I put my off shoulder white dress on. I curled the end of my hair and put make up on. Then I put my ankle strap heels, grabbing my pink bag and put my necklace on. I looked at myself in the mirror as I sprayed some perfume. I ordered an uber to go to his place and I'm pretty nervous but not really. I've always known that Jayson Moretti is rich so I really don't expect too much. When I arrived at his house, I got out and Jayson was already waiting for right at the gate. He has his hands inside his pocket as he looked at me from head to toe. He gestured me to follow him and I sighed. When I saw his house from a far, I can't believe it. It's so beautiful that I can't even.. describe it with words. As an architect, this house is perfect. "Jayson! Is she here yet?" I heard someone walking out from the house and I saw a beautiful woman in her 50s walking out f
I grabbed a bucket full of water and grabbed all the soap that I can find in my apartment. I have to get it out whatever it takes, I'm not going to wait anymore. I tried the first soap and it's not working at all. Then I tried the my favorite soap and the ring didn't even move. I tried the third soap and.. it failed again. I let out a long sigh. I even took a break. The fourth soap, I was- oh! Oh my god! It worked! I squealed and jumped up and down. I got the ring out and I can't believe it after trying again and again. I put the ring on my lap and wiped it with my shirt. I held it gently with to hands and looked at it. It's a really beautiful ring and bet it's very expensive. I got up taking a small box and putting it inside. I put it into my bag. I have class in an hour and I have to give it back to Jayson after class so we don't have the chance to see each other again. I got ready for my class. I took a shower and put my favorite black dress. I topped it with a denim jacket and
I was late to class and my professor didn't even let me in. It's all because of Jayson. That asshole! I walked into the toilet and poured soap all over my finger. I tried to get it out.Why the hell is he thinking? I kept trying and trying but it made my finger blue. I decided to stop because my finger hurts so much. He's making my life harder and I told myself I don't want to get into trouble. I walked to the cafeteria and bought myself a drink. I'm exhausted. My phone vibrated and I took it out to see a message from Chance. Got to school already? Wanna grab dinner together?I smiled and replied him.I have a part time job, next time. I sent it to him. I smiled thinking about Chance. He's cute and I like him better than Jayson. Jayson is a definition of a jerk. After I took a break, I decided to go to the cafe. Chance texted me again asking where I work and I told him where. I got into the cafe and started to work. Today is pretty busy for some reason and I'm tired physically an
I opened my eyes slowly and turned to see Jayson sleeping. I gasped when I saw the sun is already up. Did I just sleep in his car throughout the night? I took off my seatbelt and grabbed my bag. I got out from the car and froze. I looked around and we’re currently parked on the mountain. He literally took me here and ended up sleeping in the car. I got back in and turned to Jayson debating if I should wake him up or what. I took out my phone and it’s 6.47 in the morning and we’re high up. I can’t just walk down and make it to class in time. “Jayson..” I poked him but he was still sleeping.“Jayson..” I whispered to his ear.“Jayson!!!” I literally screamed and he opened his eyes immediately. His eyes turned cold instantly but I didn’t even bother to look away. “Are you going to stay like this?” He hissed and I leaned back to my seat. He sat up straight and leaned his body back. He checked the time and turned on his car. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”“I don’t know." He sighed.“Let’
Today, I woke up pretty tired. Yesterday, I was soaking wet and went to campus drenched in water. I don’t even care about everyone’s look on me, I need to study. After I’m done with class Jayson was actually waiting for me. Even Jennifer saw Jayson, he was waiting for me and then he insisted on dropping me to work. I thanked him and he just nodded. Today, I have to get the ring out. I don’t want to deal with him anymore so I have to, I must, I need to get it out. I supposed to get it out yesterday but I was too exhausted. Today, I have class at noon until 3, after that I have to go to work now. It's 7 a.m now and my shift starts at 8. I quickly took a shower and wore a black skater skirt with a flower sleveless top and a white shoes. I curled my hair a little and put make up on. I’m ready. I walked out from my apartment and took a bus. After 5 stops, I get off the bus and walked to the coffee shop. I had some lovely customer that made my day. I love my job because I got to make co
We arrived at the festival. I knew that there’s a festival here since 2 weeks ago. We started exploring because there’s tons of food. I looked around me and everything looked yummy. I think I'm in the mood for burgers today. I took Jayson's hand and pulled him through the sea of people."Can I get 2 burgers please?" I shouted because there’s a lot of people here. "Which one?" The cashier asked. “Classic.” I pointed and the cashier nodded and gestured me to pay. Before I could get my wallet, Jayson paid for it. I thanked the cashier and he gave me a number."You usually eat here?""No, this food festival started 2 weeks ago.” "Oh.. I never been to this kinda place before." He said as he looked around completely fascinated by everything. "Fun, isn’t it? Even though there’s a lot of people but.. Festivals are fun!" I kept looking at the numbers because it’s pretty close to ours. “Two hundred and five!” They called“Here!” I raised my number and grabbed the burgers. When I brought t
"Everyone, I have an announcement to make." Jayson said loudly and then the whole room went quite and all eyes on us."This is my fiancee, Elsa." My eyes widened when he announced it. I tried to get away but he wrapped his arm around me tightly. "We are going to get married soon, Elsa here has to finish her school first. I hope everyone give their blessings to us." He smiled, everyone clapped. I looked at him disbelief and he turned to me like he just won in life. What the? Everyone congratulated me and tried to talk to me about the proposal. I was going inside and ready to kill him. "We need to talk!" I pulled Jayson and brought him upstairs. "Slow down, baby. I'm not going anywhere." He said."Are you insane?""What?" He said it flatly and coldly."I- are-" I was speechless, I don't know what to say. He took a step closer to me and I took a step back. He locked his eyes on me and I didn’t realise that my back already kissing the wall. "Well you're trap now..""Jayson.. please..
I opened my eyes and looked around. I'm still at the library. I slept in the middle of doing my project. Why is there a blanket on me? I swear this is weird. Okay whatever. I looked at my watch, it's 2 and how long have I been sleeping? I have to go to work. I took all my stuff and ran to my work. I ran there and when I got inside I saw Sarah. I smiled and walked to her."Hello, Elsa.""Hi, do you want coffee?” "Where were you yesterday? Did you have a fight with Jayson? You left your bag at my house and Jayson was looking for you everywhere.""We got into a little fight.""Have you reconcile yet?""No, not yet." I shook my head."That boy..” She hissed. "It's okay, Sarah. I will talk to him tomorrow or tonight." I smiled and she nodded. "Okay then I was worried about you." She hugged me.“I’m fine.”“Okay, then.. I just want to make sure..” After that she left. I focused on my work, customer keep coming so I never stop making coffee. I'm tired. Suddenly my friend elbowed me, I l
