Knock knockSomeone knocked on Adriel's door and he looked up sharply."Come in", he said expectantly."Hey yo!", Omar announced as he walked into Adriel's office.Adriel's expression fell."Omar, what are you doing here?", Adriel asked."Are you hearing yourself? Since when do I need a reason to come see you?", Omar asked as he walked towards one of the sofas in the office."Why did you knock?", Adriel asked."No reason, I just felt like it," Omar answered.Adriel sighed and glanced at the wall clock.It was almost 1 o'clock and Miss Garcia had not come in yet. He was beginning to think she wasn't coming in again today."Why? Were you expecting someone?", Omar asked."No", Adriel answered immediately.Omar looked at him curiously but didn't say anything more on the matter."Hey, I didn't see your secretary at her desk, did she go somewhere?", Omar asked
"She's very good. She's the best thing that happened to me", Chad mumbled before passing out drunk on the table.Camille stared at his figure sprawled out on the table and sighed exasperatedly.She dropped her bag and began to struggle to help him up just as Charlie rounded up next to them."You ok?", Charlie asked her."Yeah, I think I can manage", Camille grunted."But would you mind helping us call a cab?", Camille asked him and he nodded before circling away from them.Camille struggled for a little while longer but was finally able to get Chad up on his feet, barely. He was still leaning on her a lot. She reached out for her bag and picked it up with difficulty. After getting her bag and looking around to make sure Chad had not forgotten anything, she bundled over to the door with Chad still leaning heavily on her. Stepping out of the bar, she found Charlie waiting for her with the cab. Charlie helped her get Chad
Chad's ApartmentCamille huffed as she stumbled along the corridor with Chad leaning heavily on her. She struggled along and breathed a sigh of relief when she finally found Chad's apartment. She stopped in front of the door and propped Chad up against the wall while she searched his pockets for his key. She finally found the key and inserted it into the lock, opening the door. She struggled and helped Chad inside. She struggled with him into the living room before finally dropping him on the sofa. As soon as she dropped Chad on the sofa she heaved a deep breath. She stretched herself and let out a deep breath. She glanced at Chad who was sprawled out on the couch. He was drunk and muttering something inaudibly. Camille watched him for some minutes and the words that he had said earlier at Charlie's place, replayed in her mind,"She's very good. She's the best thing that happened to me", Chad had said.Camille bit her lips as she r
Lola stepped into her apartment, drained. She locked the door behind her and crumbled on the floor. She let the tears that she had been trying to hold back for so long pour out. She didn't want to cry in front of Camille and Chad, she didn't want them to see what she was now, broken. Yes that was what Lola felt like now, broken and alone.Camille and Chad had been her only friends for so long and now without the two of them in her life anymore she was certainly alone and she was beginning to feel it. She remembered the pain she had felt when she had seen the both of them lying together on the bed in that position. She knew that it was most likely nothing, that they had probably not been doing anything but it didn't make much of a difference and it didn't do anything to dull the pain and the sheep feeling of betrayal she felt. She wanted to get angry at them to ask how they could do this to her but then she also realized much to her added pain that she d
Adriel suddenly froze as images flashed in his head. He remembered this room, he had been in this room before. This was the same room he and Miss Garcia had spent the night together. Adriel froze in place as he let the images from that night flood his memory. He remembered her flushed face, how cute she looked under the lighting of the room. Gloria noticed the change in Adriel's attitude and disentangled from him. She eyed him curiously,"Is everything ok? What's wrong?", she asked him.Adriel did not reply immediately instead he stood frozen for a few more seconds before finally realizing himself. He blinked rapidly and looked at Gloria who was eyeing him curiously."Adriel, what's wrong? Are you ok?", she asked him again."I'm fine", Adriel finally answered."What's wrong? Why did you freeze like that?", Gloria asked him."Nothing is wrong. I'm fine", Adriel answered as he reverted back to his usual charming demeanor."I just remembered that I have something important to do so I'll
Adriel stared at his mother wide eyed and stunned."What was that?", Adriel finally asked herwhen he had regained himself."I said you are going on a date with Mrs. Dolan's daughter", his mom repeated, her face set in a hard line.Adriel blinked at his mother in disbelief. For years, his mother had nagged him, scolded even because of his frivolous lifestyle but she had never done this and Adriel didn't want to believe that she was actually doing it."Mom, are you suggesting that I go on a blind date with Mrs. Dolan's daughter?", Adriel asked carefully."Yes, that's exactly what I'm suggesting", his mother affirmed."Mom!", Adriel yelled."What?!", his mother yelled back"How could you? I thought you were a cool mom. I felt happy that you would never push me into a blind date like Omar's mom tried to do with him but what is this mom?", Adriel asked her."Yes, I've tried to be the cool mom with you, thinking you will change on your own with time, but I don't think you will", Mrs. Alvar
Chad's Apartment If happiness can be measured without counting it through physical mood you can see that in Camille as soon as Lola left Chad's place with anger. Though Camille didn't mean to sleep over or stay in the same bed with Chad at least let her experience how painful cheating is."Moreover, I don't think there is anything else that will make Lola and Chad be together again, I need to take her place in Chad's heart and this only can do that, I know Lola left with anger and not likely to see any of us again," Camille said to herself with a little smile raising her upper lips.The only issue Camille has is Chad who seems not to get over Lola after the breakup he still seeks to be with her. What kind of man hears that her girlfriend cheated on him and still forgives him, huh?"His case must be different but I must surely find my way around it," Camille said to herself, giving herself another smile as she walked Into Chad's room quietly. She noticed that Chad wasn't moved by the
Adriel woke a bit late, unlike him who doesn't joke with his time, maybe the thought of his secretary Miss. Garcia is becoming a nightmare to him. He quickly prepared for work and when he was about to leave he saw her Mom Mrs. Alvarez sitting down on a sofa in the parlor."Good morning Mom," he said walking out of the house "Why in a hurry, you don't even want to wait for me to greet you back," Mrs. Alvarez said"I'm sorry mom, I'm late for work," Adriel said and made a stop"Okay I wouldn't like to waste much of your time but to remind you about your date with my friend's daughter, I mean Mrs. Dolan," Mrs. Alvarez said waiting for his response."Mom, I told you I'm not interested and I won't be seeing her," Adriel said with a mean face."You want to tell me that, you can't get your ass at a point with a wife," Mrs. Alvarez said"That's not what I mean Mom, I will get married but not now, I need to fix something before settling down with anyone," Adriel said to his Mom."So what coul
