In two seconds, I got to the kitchen and then I see the mess - shards of glass scattered across the floor, a pan flipped over with creamy contents staining the counter like evidence left behind at a crime scene.

The soft scent of Hypnotic Poison filled the air, telling me exactly who it was before my eyes could find her.

Soon, I spot the culprit standing at the center of everything, her back turned against me, completely unaware of my presence. Plush house slides, mocha-complexioned, curv

  • Terms and Conditions Apply   012 - My Baby

    The first thing I get myself after receiving my first wage is a car. By noon on Monday, I was at a dealership in Queens, walking through rows of polished vehicles, sunlight glinting off windshields in the lot. City Line Auto was closer than I’d expected, and the cars on display didn’t look used at all, no scratch, no dent, just pre-loved as the salesman had proudly corrected.“So, this is the last one for the range you’re looking at,” the salesman said, pointing toward the end of the lot.I stopped grinning like a toddler in a bouncing castle and tried to compose myself.“Let’s see if this one changes my mind,” I told Tahlia.I had put her on FaceTime the moment I got to Queens and we already inspected Fords, Hyundai Elantras, Chevy Traverses, and a BMW SUV that she nearly proposed to. But they were either too bulky or just there. Perfect for someone else, but not for me.I looked forward, and my chest went light. My hand went to it reflexively as I gasped, switching the camera from

  • Terms and Conditions Apply   011 - Different In a Better Way

    **Minutes later**I stood in front of the rearview mirror at the far corner of my room, my hands pressed to the edge of the dresser. The guy in the reflection looked just as annoyed and just as embarrassed as I felt.Maybe it wasn’t the way she said it. Maybe it was because I had just fired Marina on the grounds of being unprofessional. I probably shouldn't have invited her to my home, but the thought of her running over—pissed about the time, yet helpless because she had to freaking do her job was too thrilling to resist.She had the uncanny ability to slice me down in the most polite manner and it drove me nuts.I grabbed my cellphone, tapping at some keypads.No. I shouldn't be doing this. I flung it back to the bed, groaning before I began to pace about. Soon, a knock sounded at the door. Another followed, louder this time.I sighed, holding my hair. “For chrissakes... Can't a man get an alone time?”“Ev.” her soft voice tried to pierce through my irritation. “I just want to b

  • Terms and Conditions Apply   010 - Something Unusual

    ***• Everett •***Today, I did something unusual. I skipped my daily routine, and it was a little too early to be back from work. It's just forty five minutes past 3pm and I'm not in my study, but in the sitting room with Diane. Her head is buried in a document I did bring from work to thoroughly scrutinize at home. She took a fork from her plate and pierced a golden cube of pineapple, sliding it into her mouth before turning to me.“You really don’t need to start now. You just logged off a few minutes ago.” I said matter of factly. She ignored me. “So we are going to do it this way — I scratch your back and you scratch mine. I need some suggestions on the evening dress you know, I have a couple of designs, I'm just not convinced yet.”“Isn't this something you should be discussing with Simone or maybe Clara. They are women. They would give you better opinions.” I suggested.Diane winked, pointing a finger at me. “You see, that's where you are wrong. Simone would pair socks with

    ***• Andrea •***“Now that’s how you know a badass consultant. A thirty-day reset? You called off Marilyn’s relationship the other day. How exactly do you do all of this?”“Oh... please, Kylian. I’m just being realistic. His partner tagged his care and constant attention as suffocation. I only want to know who’s wrong.”I paused, squinting slightly at him. “I call it the Quiet Decompression Phase.”Kylian cackled loudly, drawing embarrassed glances from nearby tables.“Keep it low,” I muttered, nudging him with my foot.We were at the cafeteria for a quick lunch break and between us sat a tray of rice, grilled chicken, and two unopened bottles of soda, barely touched. We only had a few minutes before resuming our duties. I grabbed my fork, taking a small bite.“You are actually the bravest newbie this company has ever had. When Vanessa was here, she would do anything to stay in Mr. Bradley’s good books,” Kylian continued, his gaze drifting over the employees walking in and out.“I’m

    *** • Everett •*** Two days later, I had just grabbed my briefcase, ready to get to work, when I bumped into Diane at my door. Her hair fell in careless waves, and her under-eyes were way too dark. “Jesus Christ! You almost gave me a heart attack.” “I’m sorry,” she muttered, absently biting her finger. In a flash, she thrust a slim black box toward me. I tried to decipher the contents of her gift, letting out a sigh the moment I realized what it was. “Morning to you, Diane. Not everyone’s obsessed with colognes,” I said, making my way to the dining area. She scurried behind me, trying to catch up with my pace. “That’s a limited edition I picked up in Milan,” she said. “I figured if I couldn’t say the right thing, I could at least show it.” She stepped in front of me now. “You didn’t even speak to me all of yesterday.” She added, opening her arms and forcing me to a stop, a pout forming on her lips. I rubbed my eyes in frustration. “I need to leave for work. Stop acting

  • Terms and Conditions Apply   007 - First Task

    ***• Andrea •***If someone had told me that I'd be second guessing my decision of being an employee on my first day at work, I would have laughed in their face and called them dramatic. When I first arrived today, I was thrilled. Who wouldn't? Mr. Bradley ushered me in for onboarding before I even got to show the card, but now? I don't know what to think. Love’s unpredictable, very complicated, but being a Love Consultant was a bigger adventure I didn’t knew I signed up for. I turned to face my first task ever - Marilyn and Jordan seated in front of me. Marilyn had her leg crossed, a weary expression visible on her face. On her left was her non- chalant boyfriend, sprawled comfortably in his chair, spinning a sleek car key between his fingers.I cleared my throat briefly, flashing my most professional smile as I let Mr. Bradley's words during the short onboarding play in my head. ‘Do not side with either parties, and please don't roll your eyes. One mess up and your salary is
