“I think this one looks a lot like you, I mean the facial structure is almost identical, what do you think?” Katherine pointed at the monkey in the middle that had its hands crossed as it looked to the side.
“No, I think that expression definitely matches yours more.” I nudged her in the shoulder and she burst into laughter.
Cindy ForbesAfter I finished the movie and there was still no sign of Ethan, I decided it was time to leave. I stood and picked up my bag. My gaze went to the red lingerie that lay on the floor, it seemed to mock me but I was determined not to jump into any conclusions before I got an explanation.
My finger hovered over my phone screen as I had an internal debate on whether or not to send a particular message to a certain someone. Was it worth it? Did I need to involve myself in something that probably wasn’t my business?I cringed at the memory of the young girl in Ethan’s car two days ago. She had called him 'baby'. Even if I wanted to brush her presence off as them being related, no sister calls her brother baby right? Especially when she was the younger one. The whole thing seemed off to me. I wondered if I should contact Cindy or not? Did
Would he want to protect his daughter from me, did he think I was dangerous? I brushed the thoughts out of my mind. He let us hang out so that should count for something.Are you still there?Katherine texted.

I could not believe that what started as a great day ended in such a manner. Katherine did not even look at me when we left the cinema. We waited quietly for the bus to arrive and she got on the one headed in her direction. Just before she left, I gently took her hand in mine.“I’m sorry,” I whispered.“So am I,” she si
The man swore as he straightened his clothes then left. I held together what was left of my skirt and turned away from the guy. “Thanks but you can leave now.” The experience sobered me up a bit. I still felt hazy but I could speak clearly again. He took a step forward and the moonlight cast shadows around his face. I only saw the outline cl
I stared at the cold milkshake in my hands and took a sip. I seriously reconsidered if it was a good idea agreeing to meet up with Cindy. But she did not sound alright on the phone and a part of me was concerned about her.I looked up as footsteps approached the table and she sat opposite me. I squinted at the pair of sun shades that obscured her eyes. She tugged at the hem of her shirt and adjusted the face cap she wore.
