I told Keion that Taiden would pick me up and we would meet next time. What should we talk about anyway?Suzie and I were looking at the gate when I saw his car parked on the other side of the road."Oh my! Where's Sofiya? Taiden is already picking her up! " said Margaux. He’s picking me up, not Sofiya. Illusionists.Suzie snorted when she heard that. Surely it will get to Sofiya. I close my eyes at the thought that I will hear another satire tomorrow.Even in the distant view, you can see his body pulling it into the gym. He is only a bit older than me, but because of his physique he looks like a model.I heard some students giggle. Who doesn't? Aside from hisvJeep Wrangler stealing everyone’s attentiom. And his own aura and appearance have not helped. My eyes rolled.When Suzie and I got closer to him, he kissed my cheek. It was as if I had a hole in my stomach or something when he did that. He stared at me for a moment before averting his eyes to Suzie."Uh ... can I ride? No one
"I waited for you Zella baby. But you didn't come." sadness crept into Anjo’s voice.I forgot that we would have met and talk. Taiden picked me up and went on a date. I smiled slightly."I'm sorry, Anjo. We had a...walk last night ... with Taiden." and Anjo's forehead wrinkled there."Where did you go?" he asked.I really need to tell Anjo everything."Because ... Anjo. Taiden’s...my boyfrienda now.“ I confessed to him and saw his shoulder fall."I understand, Zella." he forced a smile but I could see the pain pass through his eyes. "I hope he doesn't hurt you and I'm just here Zella when that happens." he smiled at the same time."So, you're not angry?" I asked.He shook his head immediately and smiled."We're friends before my heart beats for you Zella." he said and I was relieved.After Anjo and I talked, I saw Sofiya walking towards me. Why is it that Madam's house is so close to their house?"I heard, Taiden picked you up? And kissed you?" she laughed at the same time as if she c
Why is he in Sofiya's room? Is it true that he went to the office and not to Sofiya?I asked myself as tears rolled down my cheeks. I brushed it off and thought ‘it’s just nothing’. I knew he wouldn’t do something that would hurt me.'Don't worry about her.' like a broken plaque over and over to my mind.This is the kind of pain I'm referring to that I hope I could handle. Sofiya’s belittling me, I couod handle them. But this, I still couldn’t help but get hurt even though I trusted Taiden.I fell asleep while my head is clouded of that instagram post. I didn’t even read Suzie’s messages to me, instead I paid attention to Keion and I agreed to meet him.I slowly got up and stretched. I fell asleep at the grief I felt last night. I looked at the cellphone again and saw that Taiden had a text there.Taiden:'We're leaving, Ze. I didn’t woke you up. I miss you. 'I took a deep breath, relieved a little by his text. I immediately went straight to the bathroom and took a shower and got dre
'You're the only girl I'd ever want in my life.' he said there in the letter.I don't want to go home like this. I don't want to explain to anyone at home. I want to think all night about how it all happened, and how it all led to this."I want to stay with you, Ze. But I have something to do. I'll be right back. Promise." Keion said.He took me to his unit because I didn't want to go home. People there might just ask me why my eyes are swollen. I also didn’t tell them to where I was."Zella baby, we'll be right back, " Elton said who also came with us in Keion's unit."And who says you'll come here later? This isn’t your home, so you're not welcome here." Keion smirked and Elton's evil look shot at him.Keion took me to one of the guest rooms of his condo. His unit is nice but I don’t have time to appreciate that anymore. My brain is too buoyant to pay attention to things."If you need anything, call me. Anything. I'll be home right away." said Keion and I nodded.I always knew he’s
When is it necessary to step away for oneself and when is it necessary to face an issue in a relationship? I do not know. I also bid my goodbye to Madam when Sofiya left to go upstairs. I didn't say anything to Keion and neither of them nor Taiden. I avoided his gazes. I was afraid they would see in my eyes how much I was affected by what I saw. I held back the tears until I turned my back on them.One by one the tears fled from my eyes but I did not wipe them away. I was afraid they might be looking at me as I went up the stairs and see me rubbing my cheek.I was breathing up and down because my chest was so tight. Why did he suddenly change? Why does he look angry? I should be mad at him for what I saw him and Sofiya did! But why do I feel like it’s me who did something wrong?I slumped on the cold bed when I entered the room. I felt the pain in my chest that I have only now felt in my whole life.I said, I’m not going to give in Sofiya’s tricks. But it's really different if you'v
It's midnight and I'm ready. After I had prepared everything, I went to Madam’s office. I knew she was no longer there so I walked straight ahead carrying my belongings.I laid on Madam's study table the letter containing my farewell and gratitude for the good shown by this family.I knew it was only half a year and I am going to graduate but then, I would think about it. I have been able to save money over the years of my service. I will still finish school. But far from Taiden.The whole house is quiet. It is late at night, but here I am, leaving.I also went to the kitchen to put on the table my letter for Mother Helen. I knew they wouldn't agree to what I’m going to do because they do not understand what I was having. And I don’t want to see Madam get angry because I love her son.Before, even before I entered this house. If I ever leave, I'm sure the reason is because of my employer's bad behavior or maybe they are not satisfied with my service. I was wrong, I was so hurt and ins
Anjo came with me to buy a cellphone, even if it's not expensive, it's okay. We also didn't stay long at the mall and went home immediately because I still had a lot to do."Zella ?! Where are you ?! Do you know what's going on here ?!" Suzie opened up to me when I called her.I was held on the forehead because of the problem I left behind and the person I aggravated when I left."I'm sorry Suzie. I'll explain to you, promise. I need your help." I said and I heard her breathing deeply on the other line."You know I won't reject you, right? Just text me where you are. Even if you're in Tawi-Tawi. I'll go to you." she said and I smiled there."Yes, but don't tell anyone where I am, okay? Anyone ..." I said, even though it was impossible for Taiden to ask for me."Did you know Taiden almost squeezed me? To tell him where you are? He scared 'me Zella! Gosh. He looked scary when he came here a while ago." I sighed at what she said."D-Did he go there?" I asked tremblingly because my hear
I was in the middle of filing my vacation leave when my cellphone rang. I smiled when I saw who it was."Suzie!" I greeted her happily."What's up? When are you coming home? Don't tell me you're in virtual attendance again for Sienna's birthday?" she sounds annoyed.I laughed and shook my head."No. We're going home this week. I'm preparing my vacation leave as we speak."Suzie didn't speak and I heard the other line was loud. Like the voices of men."Zella, turn on your cam. The monkeys want to see you." she said laughing and someone shouted on the other line."Hey! You're so mean in us Suzie!" said the man on the other side of my line whoever it was.I turned my cam on and immediately saw Suzie while a wide smile is plastered in her face."Hi! You're so beautiful! What kind of air does San Francisco have? Take me with you." she laughed at the same time and shook her head when she saw me."Where's Sienna? Show me." I said because I only see her daughtet occasionally.“With his Daddy.
