To Love And To Lust

Tears rolled down Victoria's cheek as she saw the hate in the eyes of her friends. She shivered in tremor not because she was scared of Elizabeth but because of the hate her best friend had come to have for her.Her heart clenched as she tasted the salty water that rolled down her cheek. "Why?" She muttered."She wanted to know where she had gone wrong, what she had obviously done to her friend to make her want her death. She wondered how it all happened and what could have made her best friend come to a decision like this.Elizabeth scoffed. "Why?" She laughed hysterically. She rolled her eyes at Victoria as she held onto the knife in her hands tightly.More tears ran down Victoria's cheek, her friend sounded bitter. She couldn't believe it. The Elizabeth she knew was scared to hurt a fly.She was the one who preferred peace to violence and here in front of her, was another person entirely and she wasn't sure if she could call her a friend. "Why did it have to come to this? Why! Why

Whenever Victoria was nervous, she tended to have sweaty palms. She was always feeling hot whenever she was nervous and has never been able to keep herself calm.It was hard for her to mask her feelings compared to Elizabeth who did perfectly well at masking her feelings.She inhaled and exhaled as she stood in front of the skyscraper building with 'SMITH TECHNOLOGIES' written boldly at the top of the building.Feeling too worried to move further, she took out her phone from her bag with shaky hands to dial her friend Elizabeth's number. She had spoken to her mother earlier today and her mother had assured her it would all be fine but she was still worried."Hey Bee, I'm nervous!" She spoke once Elizabeth answered her call."Hi Tori once again. Worry not, you will do just fine. It's always like that. We all get nervous on our first day at work." Elizabeth tells her."I know but I just don't know why I feel this way. I'm so worried and I'm worried because I feel something bad might hap

It was as if the entire room was rotating in the eyes of Victoria. She was still comprehending what Mr Smith had just said to her. There was no way she heard right, she thought to herself, shaking her head furiously refusing to believe she heard him right.Her heart broke into a thousand pieces as she thought of the words over and over again. Did he indeed fire her? She asked herself, still in a state of shock. She thought in her head that she was dreaming but the face of Mr Smith remained unchanged. Her eyes filled with tears but she remained strong, fighting back the tears that threatened to fall. She was starting to panic again but she didn't want to show it and she was afraid it would only make her look stupid.She swallowed a painful lump in her throat, thinking of what to do next or how to begin. Working for Smith technologies had always been her dream and now she had lost the chances of showing what she is capable of before she could begin. Nothing hurts her more as she though

Victoria got up from her chair, ready to go meet Mr Smith after being told by Robin he asked for her presence. She wondered what he needed her for and worse, did he notice she came late? She thought to herself."Of course!" She muttered to herself. "He must have noticed you weren't there when he came in as he is still keeping close eyes on you.""Oh Lord help me." She prayed within her.As Victoria approached Mr Smith's office, her palm became sweaty. She wiped her sweaty hands on her skirt as she made advances towards his office. As she stood in front of his office, she took in deep breaths and exhaled before knocking on the door.She mentally prepares herself for the words he'd say to her. She expected to get some scolding from him about her attitude on her first day at work.Just as she stepped into the office after being told to by Mr Smith to come in, she was relieved to see Mr Lucky, Dylan and Rebecca in the office. While Mr Lucky was seated, Rebecca and Dylan stood beside him o

Elizabeth woke up with a big smile on her face. She yawned and got off her bed preparing for the beautiful day ahead. She had found it hard to sleep last night as the thoughts of spending time with Mathew filled her thoughts. Elizabeth hummed a melodious song in her head as she blew her hair with the hand dryer. She stood in front of the mirror, admiring her face. She already knew what she was going to wear today as she had planned them last night.After applying body lotion on her body, she put on her underwear before wearing her favourite nude colour body hug dress that fitted her body perfectly.Feeling satisfied with herself, she left the house with high expectations for the day.Elizabeth came down from the Uber before paying the driver. She brought out her phone from her purse to look at the address again to know if it was the right one Mathew had sent to her. It was the address indeed and the Uber driver had inputted the address in his Google map before driving so he definite
