What Bella told me kept ringing in my head. She insisted that I tell him about Amelia. I don't know how to do it or what way to approach him. It's been two years now since the event that led to Amelia and this is taking a toll on me. If it's left to me, I don't want him to know. His knowing only means that I was welcoming trouble into my life. I dropped Amelia off at the daycare and made my way to my office. Seth hadn't called to talk to me yet. He didn't even call to ask why I didn't come to work and I felt too angry to send a message. I walk into the office like I did nothing wrong. The office was all staring. I wonder why they were whispering something at each other. I rolled my eyes and don't want to hear any of the gossip. It's nothing good. I was so sure about that.I went to my office and saw piles of work waiting for me. That was one thing with this place. When you are not around your work will keep piling up until you get back to do it. No one was going to help. It's the rul
I went ahead to pick up my daughter from her daycare. Her face looks so soaked with tears. The nanny told me that she had been tearing up since I dropped her. I wonder what the problem could be. I kissed her cheeks and said, "What happened to you?" She stared at me with her wet cheeks. Her face was all red from the tears "Sweetheart, what happened? Mom is here for you "I tried playing with her but all efforts were in vain. I tried all I could to cheer her up but she ended up staring at me like I was acting stupid so I gave up. I need help. The only person I could think about right now was Mrs. Clara. My mother. I need to give her a call. I need help to understand what my daughter is going through. I called her number and she picked up on the first call. " Please I need your help," I said through the phone " ok. I'll be right there with you " she said and ended the call.I sent her my address. I was heading to the park. I hope Amelia will be happy when she sees other kids just like
I held my phone while I stared at Ace's number. The number was staring at me waiting for me to call him but I couldn't. I didn't know how to tell him to come over to see me .on another thought, I don't think it's a best idea to invite him over. I wouldn't want what happened the last time to happen again. I can't bear that. I can't repeat the same mistakes all the time, never.Mrs. Clara took Amelia home with her. She promises to take good care of her since I have a meeting with Ace. That woman has been so supportive of me. She makes things easier for me and I like that she is trying to fill that space she missed since I was young. Dad is aware that she is in town and he hasn't said anything about it. He hasn't come to check on me. I shook my head, why would I think he'd care to come to talk to her. I don't know why he has to be my father. There are lots of good men out there and nothing like Dad. I don't know why I was blessed with a father like him.If only Mom had nothing to do wit
I wiped the sweat dripping down my forehead with the back of my hand. I was tired and needed some rest but didn't want to give in to that tired side of me. Ever since I had an argument with my ex-boyfriend who called me fat, I've promised myself to prove him wrong. Exercising became my second friend. I've always known he never wanted me after all. Seeing that my father is rich and popular was one of the reasons he dated me.It stings thinking about that but who cares? the deed has been done. SighI think what I love about myself is my will of seeing through people's thoughts. I know being a rich man's daughter was going to be a lot. This means Fake friends would come and use me as they please, knowing the kind of person I was. As much as I try to be harsh with people, my heart won't let me. I still believe they will come back to love me again. Stupid, I know. All my life, I've craved to be cared for but luck never seems to be on my side. It's so disheartening to bear.I got tired o
ALLYSONWe had enough drinks and fun. I enjoyed myself to the brim. I was glad I didn't go against my promise. This was all I needed after all. " Would you dance with me?" Ethan got up and stretch his hand. I was confused at first before I realized he was talking to me. I didn't want to decline and make him feel bad. It was a harmless dance after all so I took his hand " sure, I'd love to dance "He smiled at my reply and guide me to the dance floor. We both pretend not to be aware of others making fun of us. I find the whole thing funny. Ethan found a spot for us on the dance floor. He wrapped his hand around my waist " Are you sure you wanna dance?"I cock a brow" If I don't want to, I wouldn't have agreed to it trust me "" I didn't want it to seem like I had to force you to dance with me," he said with a soft smile.I love this gentleman's side of him. He makes me feel some kind of connection for him but not the way everyone is thinking. This connection was more like a friend co
ALLYSONMy heart refused to stop making that sound.I was flabbergasted. That question wasn't what I was expecting at all. It's so embarrassing, especially in front of sexy guys who are ready to make fun of you. Ethan is so annoying. He saw the shock on my face so he knew he got me.I opened and close my mouth trying to reply but was finding it difficult to because of all the eyes on me. I was sure my face is all pink right now. I feel so shy right now. " We can always change the question " Bella tried to help me out but I stopped her " No! I will answer it's a game after all"" Now you're talking. Not everyone is like you" Ethan said but I was sure he was referring to Bella.The looks he was sending at Bella were suspicious and what he just said held lots of meaning. I need to ask Bella when they are alone." I'm a virgin" I answered nevertheless There were lots of shocked expressions. They never expect a girl who looks as hot as I am to be a virgin. I know that was what they were
ALLYSONWe went back inside after we had the heart-to-heart talk. We felt a little lighter. This is one reason why we care so much for each other. It builds our relationship I believe.I went straight to get a drink from the barman. I went back to meet the others after getting my drinks.Already Bella was seated. she made a face when she saw me with vodka. I wasn't one for strong drinks. Bella knew that no matter what she say, I won't listen to her. " Guys let's drink to all our problems," Ethan said raising his cup. We all raised our cups in the air and cheer loudly. I downed mine in one gulp. I poured more into the cup and down it again. I repeated the process until I finished the drink. At this point, I was already drunk but not recklessly drunk since I could understand what is going on around me." I want more," I said and tried getting up but Ethan who had seen how I finished the drink stopped me from standing up." Aren't you drunk?" He asked.I giggled " Do I look drunk to yo
AllysonBella stared at me with wide eyes. She can't believe she has been so worried about my whereabouts last night only to see me now I guess. I know I sound so stupid right now." where the hell have you been?! I had to lie to my parents when they asked about you last night. You didn't even give me a call whatsoever. Gosh! "I felt guilty for doing that to her. I know I should have gone back to inform her about leaving but didn't think much about that. At that point, I was too consumed with the man last night to even think straight. " I'm sorry" I apologized. That was the best thing to do at that moment. I took my wrong with open arms.Bella paced around the room " Look, I'm not mad because you were off but the fact that you didn't inform me is what's annoying." She let out a loud breath." I'm sorry"Bella glared at her " I hate you right now " And that was it.I burst out laughing. It's so funny watching an angry Bella. I couldn't hold it any longer. Seeing that I couldn't stop
