Terms and Conditions Apply 015 - Déjà vu
The number of times I blinked after that statement could probably qualify as a medical emergency. I had always believed Mom’s marriage to Anthony was perfect. The way she talked about him made it sound effortless —like he could read her moods even before she spoke, like loving him didn’t require any work at all. It simply happened as naturally as breathing. Had all of that been a façade? I parted my lips to speak, but a dull ache formed at my temples. On second thought, I didn’t have the emotional stamina for whatever Liz was about to dump on me next. “Just tell Mom I’ll visit Harlem this weekend,” I said instead. “I think... no, I’ll definitely be free. But right now, I need to leave.” Liz chuckled, finally leaving my window frame. “Oh, you’d tell her yourself? How responsible of you. Let’s pretend we never ran into each other, and I never told you any of that.” “Liz!” I called. “What? she said, already stepping away. “Do I look like someone with nowhere to be? My man’s wai

He let out a short, ridiculous laugh.Amber’s breathing grew louder as she stepped closer. “Say that again. I dare you.”“Or you’ll do what?” he shot back. “Pfft. I’m literally nauseous just staring at your face.”“You two,” he said, flashing a crooked grin. “Are ugly. Uglier than a frog in a crown. And I swear, no amount of botox in the world would fix that.”Amber’s jaw dropped. Her face flushed the same shade as Kim’s, fury swelling in her chest.“Excuse me? What did you just call me?”Kim jabbed her index finger straight to the middle of his forehead, pushing it back. “Ohhh no. You just opened the gates of hell, Felix!.”He nearly stumbled but covered it with a laugh.“What exactly do you want? You’re doing way too much for a pair of bargain-bin Barbies,” he scoffed.Amber crouched and grabbed his ear, giving it a sharp yank.He squealed. “Ow! Cut it out! Ugly trolls!”“You think you can insult me and my sister and get away with it? Not today, you little gremlin!”Felix, small but

***• Author's Note •***This chapter and a few others will shift to a third-person perspective allowing supporting characters to reveal pieces of the unfolding story. Trust the process, everything plays a role. ***Amber lay stretched across the front seat, the chair reclined as far back as it would allow in the name of comfort. Her brown hair spilled over her shoulder in a lazy wave, catching the mild sunlight that made the strands look golden brown. She was almost drifting to bliss, until the sudden chirp of the key fob jolted her to awareness.She turned around, her irritation disappearing the minute she sees the mischievous sneer of the young girl behind. Slowly, she exhaled. Of course, only her sister would test the car’s alarm system while hiding inside it.Kim was the splitting image of her — same green eyes, same hair, same uniform. The only difference was a faint variation in build, hardly noticeable, unless they were placed side by side. Their identical backpacks were d
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
