Alison sighed listening Jack act that way, "start," She signed him to begin. "One, Stefen is my friend and I know you way too well to let you try to fool him just the you did to me for one whole year. Two, I know you don't love him and you are using him to try and fulfill one of your gluttonous needs. Three, Stefen loves someone else. Four, I hate you. Five, I loathe you. Six, I detest you. Seven, I execrate you. Eight, I abominate you. Nine, I despise you. Ten, I abhor you. You want me to continue or is this much reason enough to destroy your self-esteem?" Alison did not reply. She had fire flaming in her eyes. She was deeply affected with everything he said. She just stamped her feet on the ground and walked away. Jack turned around to see if Alice was somewhere around but she was not there. He went back with disappointment in his heart. *** Everyone were having their dinner. They thought of ordering pizzas instead of cooking since that would save them time and they can focus on

"About me and Alison and how I chose to become a guy that you loathe just because I wanted to forget her," Jack clarified."Oh that," she paused. "I am not sure actually. I was not there when you and Alison were together, so I can't judge the relationship you had with her. But as far as I have come to know you and as far as I know Alison, I do feel sorry for you. Your love not being reciprocated is already hard..." Alice remembered the time when she loved Stefen. "...but being cheated by the person must be the worst feeling ever," Alice replied."You are not answering my real question," Jack said.Alice raised her eyebrows."I asked you what do you think about me based on the past I had?" He questioned again. Alice thought for a while, "I think that I can't judge you based on the time you once lived. As time passes, people change and so do their feelings," she was answering Jack but somewhere in one corner of her heart, she was justifying her own change of feelings.Alice recalled th

Alice recalled the moment when Jack asked her to be his date but Alison intruded their conversation and it ended without any conclusion. "Oh about that..." she pretended like she had forgotten about it but the truth was, every time she thought about it, the image of Alison and Jack talking and being back together flashed in front of her eyes. "Have you tried asking anyone else?" Alice asked hoping that Jack had not specifically asked Alison out. Alice was aware of the fact that Jack and Alison were not together anymore, but based on all the knowledge she had collected, Alison was Jack's one true love. "Huh?" Jack was not expecting Alice to ask him that. He thought maybe she did not want to accept his request. Alice realized what her words might have meant the other way and she immediately spoke to clarify it, "I mean... if you have not asked anyone else yet-" "No Alice," Jack interrupted. "I have not asked anyone except you," he said maintaining a calm composure taking a step forwa

“By the way, Alison wanted me to convince you to take her to the ball after the program.” Jack said wanting to divert the limelight towards Stefen. “And what did you say?” Stefen asked with a smile knowing well what Jack must have replied. “The obvious.” Stefen gave a short laughter. He never even tried to make Jack erase his execrate for Alison since he was a witness to everything that happened between them in the past. He knew that this behavior of Jack towards Alison was not right but he also knew that it was not unfair. “So you said she wanted to go to the BALL with me right? Then who is going to be with her during the whole program before that?” Stefen sarcastically asked. “She is not the one to attend those programs. I am sure she’ll arrive late only to catch up with the after party and since you are in no way going with her, I doubt if she will even show up.” Stefen nodded as it sounded exactly how Alison would do. Jack lifted his hand to see the watch and inhaled slowly

They both went inside a shop that looked extremely elegant and sky-high. A very attractive and neatly dressed lady approached them as they entered, “how can we help you ma’am?” she had a very sweet and soft voice. “We have a program to attend in few days so we were looking for some dress, some gowns maybe… like a ball gown type.” Jasmine explained in installments and the whole time the lady was listening meticulously nodding her head in between indicating that she understood what they wanted. “I see, please follow me,” the lady walked ahead and Jasmine and Alice followed. The lady stopped in an aisle, “I think all these gowns will suit you both since you have a good body and nice curves. The changing room is right around that corner. Please take you time selecting the one you like and you can call me if you need me.” With those words she left the two alone. The gowns were hung on a white long clothesline pole in a very proper and well organized manner. The gowns were made of rich fi
