"By the way, that unknown number that I'm telling you is still constantly texting me the other day. The last day you texted me, that was the same time he texted me.[Owws really? Can you just block that non-Elyse number?]"Ehh, even. Even if I block it, it will just change the sim and text me again. I blocked that number and then the next day someone texted me again and I know it's only the same person because they are the same in what they say and how they message me."[If only you could change the number? What do you think??]"He's fine, but the store is far from here, Mindy, so maybe next time when Xander and I leave again.""Oh! I almost forgot, Xander's a little weird. When you were constantly texting me and the unknown number, it seems like he's not in the mood.""I have something to tell you..." I was now looking out the window. I saw Xander on top of the car and it looked like he was drinking alcohol.[Huh? So what?]I swallowed before speaking."I think, I already like him."
We both sat on the bench first. His head was leaning on my shoulder while we were holding hands... I was silent and so was he.A few seconds later, I felt him squeeze my hand. I didn't realize that I was smiling because of what he was doing and my heart was starting to beat faster again.I miss this, this feeling. When I saw that his tears were falling earlier, it was as if the anger I was feeling disappeared, it was replaced by pain because he was hurting...so I was hurting too.I looked at the time and realized that I had been here for two hours, I told my son that I was fast. I was going to speak but my tongue is retreating, I want to stay here next to him...but I have to go home."I miss you, Elyse." It suddenly promised that I stopped."What??""I miss both of you, Elyse. Do you miss me as well?" He sat properly and looked me in the eye.I bit my lip before nodding. What's the use if I lie to him...it's true that I miss him. I'm mad at him, that's true, but at the same time I mis
"What's the matter...uhm, I met my friend!" I don't know why I'm lying to Mike now, there's nothing wrong with telling him the truth.I went inside and my daughter immediately greeted me. "Mommy!" He hugged me tightly and I did the same."Mommy, you came back! What did you do outside?"I want to say that Xander and I met, but I hesitated to tell her because she's going to talk again for sure."Mommy is just taking care of something important, sweetie." Answer to this question."Eh? What happened to your neck?" My eyes widened a bit because of his question and I got what he meant."That's nothing sweetie." I smiled at him.I was going to speak but I suddenly felt nauseous. I couldn't take it anymore so I quickly ran to the bathroom with my bag."It's annoying!" I said annoyed to myself while staring at the mirror. When I put my hair back I could clearly see the traces of Xander's kiss on me.I was about to smile because I remembered what suddenly happened to us earlier but suddenly I f
"Maybe but I'm not sure," I said confused. What will I do later? Hmm, take Elizabeth to school and then... go back to Mike's house? That's all I'll do later.[Why? Do you have anything else to do tsk.]"You know, you're weird. You weren't like that before." I said shaking my head. What I mean is super jealous for him? It's obvious, the way he speaks and the way his voice changes when we get to a topic like this. I'm confused because I don't know , it's like some Xander is showing me. the stupid Xander, the cold Xander, the sweet Xander and the jealous Xander...that's a lot of personality.[What do you mean weird huh? I was really weird to you then, right?] I laughed a little weakly at what he said because it's true that I said that to him, many times already."Yes, but you're weirder now, I don't know in what way you're weird, but that's it!" That's all I said.[You're the one who's weird, I can't understand anything you're saying--] he suddenly stopped speaking and it was as if I hea
Why did he say that? Ehhh, just excited?"Oh, yeah...? I thought, the guy who fetched Elizabeth last time was your husband??" This is a puzzled question."That was my father's teacher heheh!"My son said while he was wearing a suit with other clothes n"Father? Wait, what? then how can you be her husband--ohh, you must be divorced?" He asked me nodding."Uhm, no. We haven't been together but yes, I'm divorced but not from him." I promise.I'm sure he's confused about our situation. He was even more confused especially because Xander said he was my husband... even though he wasn't really."Ah, ha ha ha! It's a mess... anyway, I've said what I had to say. So, let me excuse myself first. Goodbye, I have something important to do." He said before leaving.We were about to enter Xander's car but he stopped me."I think it's better to use your car. You knew earlier, right, something might happen again when they see this car. We don't know Elyse, they just scattered around." He promised.I t
No way, what is he thinking now..."I said---" he didn't finish what he had to say. He frowned as he looked behind me now and it was as if someone was looking at him.I was about to turn around but Xander suddenly pulled my hand behind him. I was surprised to see that there were six men there and they were wearing masks.I immediately backed away and covered my mouth when they suddenly took out a knife and tried to stab Xander but Xander was able to defend himself against them."Inside the car!!""W-What??""Get inside the car!!" He yelled at me and because I was panicking I got into another car, I didn't realize that it wasn't Xander's car, was it open?I saw his every move, the way he punched the man and how he moved to avoid being stabbed with a knife. I was stunned when he grabbed the knife he was holding and stabbed it in the man's stomach, Xander answered the other man's hand.I stared at the blood dripping..."Dammit! Why did you go in there!"I was surprised when Xander pulled
I leaned on the edge of the table and crossed my arms. "Where's the pictures you're talking about?"He was standing right in front of me now with an envelope in his hand. "I don't know boss..." This answer made me frown.I closed my eyes tightly before staring into his eyes. "What do you mean you don't know?!""I don't know where you put it boss." He answered with a bow.I held my head. "What? You gave it to me? Why didn't I know that? What was I doing at that time?!""Um, you're busy boss.""Busy in what!" My head is getting really hot. I don't know why I'm angry, because I found out that Mike is the Mike I know?! or am I angry because I haven't even received any updates from Jeff here?!"Busy drawing and smiling while staring at the paper." A few seconds later we both stared at each other.I tasted it and slowly turned away from it. I sat in my chair and opened the laptop.I was suddenly overcome with shame.Maybe that was the time when I almost filled all the paper with Elyse's fac
"Where have you been?" He asked me an open question. He is like my father and I am his son who is waiting for him to come home, as if there is a curfew."Outside, I just took a breather."I'm lying."Are you with someone?""Nothing, I'm alone." I'm lying again."Alright, I'll go to the room first. By the way, good morning!" I didn't wait for him to answer, I hurried into the room. When I entered, I saw that Elizabeth was already awake."Mommy? Where are you from?"He asked in surprise.I stepped closer to him"Outside sweetie, Mommy just took a breather.""With Daddy Xander?" My eyes widened slightly at the last question."A-What? B-Why would Xander end up here so soon?" I can't look away from my son."Because of you...?" He asked for an answer."Come on Mom, I saw it. I saw from here that you got out of a yellow car mommy. And I know it was Daddy Xander's car." He spits.I scratched my head in shame. Okay, maybe he woke up earlier."Shhhh, let's see what you saw okay.""Okay... that'
