Marry Me Now Chapter 18
I reached my car and drove off. What I've heard from the staff still lingering freshly in my head. Slut. I'm not a slut... I tried to push those words out of my head but more just kept coming. And tears came pouring out of my eyes like it was an ocean. I managed to reach my house. Believe me when I say it's a miracle I got home without getting in an accident or something. I got inside the house, and the clicking of a spoon filled my ears. Zara must have heard me opening the door as she walked toward me. Her eyes widened. "What happened, ma'am? Are you okay?" She asked worriedly. I managed to keep myself from crying. "I got fired," I said and she gasped. "How- why?" She asked. "I don't know." I suddenly cried. I don't know why this happened to me. The thought that a man touched me without me knowing is already killing me. They were right. I'm a slut. I shouldn't have gone to that stupid party. A part of me wanted to blame Yvonne, a part scolded against that. It wasn't her fau

"I'm glad it's nothing to be scared of," I said. I couldn't stand anything bad happening to her, she's been my friend for two years now, a very good friend. "I have to go home now, I would come again tomorrow hmm? Take care." She said. "You too," I mumbled. I closed my eyes, I didn't know when I'd fall asleep again. I've been sleeping all day. •• "You know any man with these tattoos?" Jake asked the man behind the bar table. He had tattoos all over his body. He's been doing this almost all day. He'd to do it... For Tessa. The man inspected the picture again. He nodded his head yes. "Who?" Jake asked. "Ah ah ah." He gestured his hand. A sign he wanted money for it. Jake rolled his eyes before bringing out his wallet and placing 50 dollars on the table. The man shook his head. "More." Bringing out 30 dollars he asked. "How would I know if you know him?" "It's him. Trust me. Cris Alex." He replied with a grin. •• "So, his name is Cris Alex? You're sure?" "Not really." ~ ••

"What?" I asked Jake because of the look he gave me. "What makes you think so?" He asked, clearly disappointed. "I-i just know and Yvonne told me about Cris." He looked at me curiously. You're such an idiot! You're defending an almost rapist here! My subconsciousness screamed at me. He didn't do anything and Yvonne knows him. I know Yvonne, she's a kind soul. If he was a rapist or something, she wouldn't have pleaded that much for him. "She's being arrested." He suddenly said. "Who?" I asked curiously. "Yvonne." He spat. I looked at him confusedly for a moment before realizing what he'd just said. My eyes widened a bit. "W-what do you mean, why?" I asked and he scoffed out a laugh. Why was he like this? He was never like this and then all of a sudden... "Tessa," he said when he noticed my expression. "What did she tell you?" "Tell me you're lying," I said and he raised an eyebrow. "Lying about what?" He asked. Was he being serious? "About Yvonne." "No," He answered. "I answere

I fell on my bed immediately after I got to it. I whimpered. Jake was the one who helped me get this job... Maybe he could help me get another? Ugh. I'm an ungrateful brat... And careless. If I had been more careful, all this wouldn't have been happening, if only... I curled myself into a ball on the bed, crying my eyes out. I think I was sick. My temperature was high. My phone suddenly rang, startling me. Taking the call to look at the caller. Jake. Quickly answering it, I placed it on my ear. "Hey... Jake." I felt bad for snapping at him earlier. He was trying to help me and I snapped at him. "Hey. How are you?" He asked. He doesn't seem mad. That's a good thing, right? "I'm good I guess, you?" "Are you? You don't sound fine." He said making me break down. "I'm not okay," I cried. "I can't believe I had been stupid to think she cared for me. If I was smart enough... And now, it's hurting more than it should be. And my job. I lost my job." I cried. "Tessa..." I cut him off.

I walked out of the courtroom, my eyes watery, I couldn't believe I was crying over what she had said. But, it did hurt me, a lot. I wiped my tears away. Stop it. My subconsciousness scolded. "Wait up," Jake called. I wanted to stop and wait but my brain wasn't obeying my mind. I got out of the courthouse but he got to me before I could walk any further. "Are you okay?" He asked. He is so patient, I expected him to be mad or something but as usual, he didn't show any sign of being mad. I smiled. "Yeah, I'm okay," I replied. "You're sure? You don't look okay, is it because of her? She got what s-" I cut him off. It wasn't because she got imprisoned or something, just because of how she fooled me all this while. I was such a fool. "Yeah. Can you take me home? I'm so tired..." I said. He nodded with a smile. After the judge had given both Yvonne and Cris three years in prison. A part of me was happy, and a part of me was sad. Curse that part. I got into the passenger seat and Jake g

We got done with everything we needed to do. Taking my bag and Anne's school bag and lunch bag. We went to my car and I drove off to her school. I made sure she was settled in before I went to my working place. When I got there, I didn't come out immediately. I stayed inside my car for what seemed like hours. I felt nervous like a school girl on her first day in her new school. I snapped out of the trance I was in when I saw the time. 7:59 am. I quickly arranged myself and got out of the car. As I got inside the building, I noticed most of the worker's eyes on me. That scandal is still up here from what I can see. Ignoring them, I walked toward Jake's office. A lady suddenly stopped in front of me. She is really beautiful. "Miss Carl! I knew the truth would come out and it did! Oh, poor you, you didn't deserve to go through what you did." She said looking at me with... Caring eyes? "Uh.." "I'm Gwyneth and you must be Tessa. I heard what happened... You see, I was also friends wit

Opening the door, I got out. But for some reason, my body wasn't moving instead it relaxed on the door. I brought my hand to my chest. Why was it suddenly beating fast? If it goes any faster, I was sure it was going to explode. So... That's his girlfriend. Why was I even thinking about it, of course, she's his girlfriend. Hitting my head, I thought, what are you doing? Jeez, stop. "Ma'am?" I heard a lady's voice, I quickly stumbled away from the door and looked at the lady calling me. She was the secretary. "Uh. Yes? Oh, I was uh... My legs hurt, I just, You know," I laughed nervously. "I'd go now," I said and walked into my office. Placing my hand on my chest. I prayed for it to stop beating so fast. It did calm down after minutes but I didn't do anything for 35mins. Just sat there. Looking at the time, I noticed it was 1:34 pm. Oh, I had to go get Anne from school. Jake said I could be home at 2 pm. Does Mr Kings know? I guess I'd go find out. I stood up and walked to Mr King'
Marry Me Now Chapter 25
Yep, that's it. When I told Carson about it. He became about serious our relationship and asked for my hand a month later. My aunt was furious and threatened me not to even think of it. But, I was so blinded, that I ran away from her. I mean, it's a good and bad thing that I did. The good thing was if I hadn't run away, she'd married me off to a guy I had no idea who he was. Maybe to an old man, who knows? And the bad thing was I ran away only for my heart to be broken two years later by a man who promised to love, me forever. Oh, my poor heart. I hated talking about Carson, it brings me some unknown feelings. Getting out of the elevator, there was another one I had to enter still. But someone stopped me. Gwyneth. "Miss Carl.." She called. She was too formal. "Oh, just call me Tessa," I said giving her a friendly smile. She returned the smile, but if possible, even friendlier. "Yes. Tessa, So.. You're going home? It's not yet 4 pm.." She said analyzing me. I nodded my head.
