I am so bored here!" I whined, taking a handful of crisps from the bag and slapping them onto my face.
"You are one lucky bitch, but you don't even know how to appreciate it." rose laughed on the other side of the screen. She was holding seven months old girl, trying to feed her from a bottle while two four-year-old boys were running around her, making a lot of noise.
"I wish I had gotten married to a nice guy and settled somewhere. Maybe then..."
"Yeah, maybe you'd also be yelling at your kids right now through a video chat! WOULD YOU TWO STOP IT!" She yelled at the boys.
"You don't understand..." I sighed.
"Honestly I don't, like why would someone with a deadly handsome boss, a good job, living in a beautiful cosmopolitan city complain about their life. I mean I looked your boss up on google and my my, that's one charming guy there. I would so be o
Hey, I was looking for you" He said to her, I could feel him standing just behind me. His voice... it felt so calm and so sad..."Yeah me too. I don't even know why you left just like that. Where did you go?""Never mind.""Whatever" "she rolled her eyes "So here's your P.A.""I know."How could his voice be so calm?After everything that happened..."Alrighty Crystal, why don't you come to hang out with us?""No... I-I was leaving for dinner...""Just exactly what we were planning next! Come on, let's go!" She threw a hand over my shoulder, and as we turned around, my eyes met his.It felt as if my heartbeat stopped, as I let myself fall deep and still more profound in those dark eyes. And they almost mirrored mine.
Running away from my problems was all I did throughout my life. I had no guts to fight for myself, not now, not in the past.Living with you was the only choice I had; misunderstanding you were the biggest mistake I did and punishing you was the heartless sin I committed. Knowing the consequences, I left without any explanation. I deserve every bad treatment you did. But seeing you with someone else hurt a lot.I can't stop you from moving on from me, as I myself pushed you away, but I also can't see you being a distance away from me.Thinking all of this, crystal cried, sitting on the beach with her leg pressed on her chest, hand-folded. Her eyes on the waterways. She didn't want to go back to her apartment. She doesn't want to be alone. It was 2 Am no one around her, only the dark clouds and noise waterways.She wanted to go back to her previous life. A carefree girl who loved her life, so cheerful and funny, had a lot of friends. She was a good little
"Hello!" Just as I opened the door, I saw Mario holding two bags."Mario!"I invited him in. But a part of me still felt uneasy. What if Landon was around, watching my apartment? What if he did the same thing again? All sorts of weird scenarios kept popping up in my mind."Nothing like hot Chinese food to warm you up in weather like this!" He placed the bags on the table in front of the couch, and I went to get plates and stuff, thinking about what a life saviour he was since I was starving already."So, how's it going?" He asked while we were eating."I am just... on leave right now.""What happened?""Nothing Nothing much. I needed one, so I got one.""Why don't you visit your mom?""I can't... I wouldn't want to come back once I left..."
As Landon turned around, his eyes travelled from Cable to Mario and stopped over me. He was clad in a custom-tailored black suit and looked extra good. I could see women of all ages staring openly at him and trying to edge towards him. His gaze on me was intense. I could already feel my cheeks burn. He stared for a while as if trying to make himself believe, and then he came storming towards us."Hey, Landon, guess..." Cable started, but he was cut off."What are you doing here?" He asked me."I am.. with Mario..." I tried to explain.He rubbed his temple as if annoyed."You weren't supposed to come here",, he hissed angrily."She didn't want to. I asked her," Mario informed him. Well, not entirely accurate."Who the fucking hell do you think you are? Why are you always butting in?" He turned on M
Crystal povAnd the surprising news is... my daughter is getting engaged! With none other than the famous Landon!"The spotlight now shone on Landon and Jenne while I felt like someone had just tossed me into the sea, a feeling of drowning taking over me. So. This was the end of our meaningless relationship. This was as far as he would go to break me."Finally, the old man got what he wanted" Cable walked next to Mario and sipped his champagne, unamused by the applause from the guests."Are you okay?" Mario looked at me with concern, but my blurred eyes were fixed on Landon. He was looking at me too. It was like a staring contest. No one was blinking, just looking at the other while trying to keep in touch with the surroundings as well. After putting the ring on Jenne's finger, he finally broke eye contact with me, giving her a genuinely warm smile. She smiled back at him, leaning in closer
After Mario left, she slides down the walls and sobs loudly; heartbreak is something she did not want to face but ended up with another. How can she manage another heartbreak? She doesn't want to be alone in a dark empty house, to she runs to the only place that comes to her mind. Why is the god so cruel, can't have some pity on her? Sometimes, pain takes over your head such that there is no room left for a reason.That's exactly what happened to her.She told Mario she didn't want to use him, but he said it didn't matter."Who knows, maybe you'll eventually fall in love with me?""I wouldn't, I know...""It's at least worth a shot. Landon has moved on; maybe you should too..."So she agreed to think it over. The proposal wasn't romantic; her heart didn't flutter at his words; she didn't feel butterflies in her stomach. But she accepted it to numb the pain that Landon had caused her." give me more !!" "Why the fuck are you taking so much time !!" "give m-me m-more, or I will po
Landon looked at the girl sleeping soundly on his bed. He was supposed to wake her up and kick her out of his house, but he decided to bring her to his room since he felt a little tired after all the drama at the party.He thought he could rest and sleep immediately from tiredness, but it was washed away as soon as he entered his room. He decided to take a quick bath before engaging himself in reading some documents while drinking some coffee in his home office.He was in the middle of his bath when he heard someone scream and followed by pleading words and sobs. He immediately took a robe, covered himself and ran as quickly as he can to the room. He then saw crystal sobbing, with a tear falling on her cheeks, from having a nightmare.He went closer to her side, lightly tapped her arm and soothed her with warmth, "Shh... I'm here. Don't worry."After a few seconds, she immediately stopped sobbing. Then, soft breathing followed,
I stood inside my office, grabbing my stuff and throwing it in a box, when I heard the door open."I told you, you can't leave," he said calmly as he closed the door behind him and stood there with his arm's crossed."you can't order me around, I just Regine," she said, grabbing her stuff from her table."you won't leave me ",, he again said."Go away," I said without sparing him a look as I stuffed a certain pamphlet into my purse."Crystal...""Don't, Just don't!" I said as I turned to face him."Can't you just...""Just what, Landon? Just what? What is there left for me to do? I'll give you one thousand explanations but for what? You'll tell me you love me but for what? At this point, nothing can be fixed!""Okay. Then let's mess it up more because that's the only way!" He pushed me against the wall, and his lips crashed into mine. I tried to push him away, but his one hand was enough to lo
