We were all at the swimming pool when a man caught my awareness. I thought the whole place was rented, so why was there an intruder?What frankly snagged my attention was when he went to Cara, who was now lying on the sun lounger. My eyebrows arched, and I immediately felt annoyed when the two started talking. Cara sat up from lying down, and the man sat down next to her and almost touched their skin. In an instant, my chest beat faster when the man kissed her. I got out of the pool and directly left the place after getting my towel on another sun lounger next to Cara's. What a lovely view?! "Daphne! Wait!" I heard her call, so I hurried. It doesn't make sense 'cause she knows where I'm going. "Hey! Why did you suddenly leave?" Cara asked me, but I ignored her and just went straight to my bag to get clothes to change. "Are you done swimming?" I didn't say a word and went to the bathroom. I acted like I didn't hear anything or she was not around. I was inside for a long time, s
"Hey! Stop drinking," I was already tipsy or perhaps drunk when Cara decided to show up and join us. Just a while ago, Zammy was the one sitting beside me. Now it was Cara who's being a pain in the ass. As usual, Cara being Cara. "What's your problem?" Slightly, I raised my voice. I'm still in the mode of being upset. God knows why. "Who let her drink too much?" I heard her ask my friends. Why does she care? "Miss Cara, Daphne is so hard to stop drinking, especially if she's mad." I giggled at Ziggy's comment. How did she say that if I barely drink? "Why would I be mad? Why??" I continued to drink and didn't let Cara take away my cup. "How about you?" I turn to face Cara with all the courage I got. Thanks for the help of liquor. She didn't answer. Instead, try to persuade me. "If you are fucking jealous, just admit it! Why do you need to make bullshit excuses? Why?" I don't know what I'm saying anymore, but that's what's inside my heart. "Stop this, Daphne. You ar
WHEN we left the room, Cara and I went straight to the dining hall. Everyone was already there, waiting for us. My eyes spotted Zammy, who was ready to leave, so I strode toward her. "I don't know what you told your sister-in-law to talk to me, Daphne, but thank you," she squeezed my arm. I smiled back at her as I was glad they had fixed their unfinished issues from the past. "Are you really not going to eat first?" I asked her in a defeated tone. I would have liked her to stay so I could learn more about Cara as they have known each other longer. There are probably many more opportunities. Besides, we are friends already on f@cebook, so anytime I can beep her up to ask her out or to have her join my friends and me. "I've overeaten already earlier when we were having a drinking session, so I may need to stop now," she explained with a giggle, stroking her tummy, but I just frowned. Is she conscious of her body? 'cause she doesn't have to worry about that. She's damn hot
I looked at the clock when I woke up. It's almost lunch. It was already dawn when I hit the sack last night 'cause I finished the k drama I was watching. Aside from plants, that's my other way to let time pass or divert myself. After I washed and brushed my teeth and put on my bra, I left the room. There's no class, so I'm considering what can be done today. I remembered the last conversation Zammy and I had in Messenger. She offered to teach me how to drive. Zekiel did offer too, but I doubted 'cause I'm worried someone may see us, they might think I was cheating on my husband. I don't want to ruin everything. Besides, I must overcome those nine years left to regain my freedom. I caught up with Craig and Cara talking in the living room when I got downstairs. "Where are you going? When will you have an interest in running the company, Cara?" I perceive they are having a serious talk. "You know that's not for me, Craig. You'll take care of that," Cara explained and was about to
Everything went according to my plan. Craig and Eroz did get back together. The four of us were happy, laughing when we arrived home. We came from a dinner in a prestigious restaurant and watched the gigs of a popular band in the country. We did a lot of things throughout the day, and I witnessed how pleased Craig was, even just holding hands with Eroz secretly when they had a chance to touch each other. "What's going on here?" Cara exposed herself when Zammy opened the main door. The four of us looked at each other and then chuckled a bit. "You are still alive," I uttered, mocking her, then averted my gaze. It's been a few days since we haven't appropriately spoken or seen each other, even inside the house. Before Cara could utter again, I hit Zammy. "So, when are you going to teach me how to drive," I asked with a broad smile and a tone of excitement. My hand landed on her waist, too. "Hi, sister." I heard Craig greet Cara, but I felt her stare was on me. We were already in
Somehow, Cara's presumption is valid. I won't deny that I've been a bit dependent on Zammy these past few days, as Cara seems to have forgotten about me. I felt sad and alone all of a sudden. From the very beginning, Cara was the reason why my marriage to Craig became less heavy in the end 'cause I held on to what she said and promised... Cara will stay beside me, that she won't leave me, that she will take care of me, that she won't let me be alone. I depended on her the entire time, even if I didn't plan all along. I suddenly felt like that, and I got used to leaning on her.This vast house that can't really be called home isn't so sad because of Cara.I was eager to head home after school, hoping that I would have a chance to catch up with her. I could endure to stay in this empty place because of her. "Hey! Are you crying?" I turned my back on her and quickly wiped away the tears I didn't realize were falling.It looked like the gathered and stuck dudgeon suddenly escaped from
We were having a good time, chitchatting while eating. Eroz and Craig are so sweet to one another. There is still a pinch of misery in my heart to see them, but at the same time, I am happier to witness Craig with a smile all over his complexion. While Cara on my side was busy fidgeting her phone from time to time.God knows who the fuck is snatching her through the phone, and it aggravates me.She was with me physically, but her mind presence was elsewhere, which was damn annoying. Meanwhile, Zammy grabbed all of our attention for an instant. She looked like she had something urgent to say that couldn't wait any longer. She stared at each of us until her eyes landed on mine and stayed, "Daphne.." She mutters my name with a smile. "Hmm?" I looked at her, waiting for what she would say."Daphne.. You know that I like you, right?" Okay. What is she talking about? Where is this going? I look straight into her eyes without any emotion and wait for whatever she has to say. "I already
ALMOST a week had gone by without Cara and I talking. I know she peeks at me in my room whenever she gets home, but I always pretend to be asleep. I can lock my door, but I can't figure out why I don't do it. Every night, it takes me until dawn to watch k dramas. I do that purposefully so I would wake up late and get the alibi not to join Cara for breakfast.Sometimes, Eroz, Zammy, and I hung out together. Because that was the only chance for Craig and Eroz to meet, as the days passed, the inexplicable feeling I had for Cara was overwhelming, and I couldn't even think about Craig anymore.Maybe I've moved on from Craig somehow, and I can say that we're friends now than we used to be, just acquaintances and connected under the circumstances of being married. We seem closer than him to his sister. Cara is always out, and I don't even bother to ask or to know anymore. "Daphne." I suddenly stopped going down the stairs. I thought she had already left the house because it was one in the
