 Karen Donna"You look stressed, are you okay?" Mum ask via Facetime. I'm at work, sipping coffee to keep me awake all day. I'm at my fourth cup in just an hour. God save me.I exhale, running my fingers round the coffee cup tip. "This job ain't easy. I need some rest." She gives me a knowing look and I sigh heavily.

I nod, assuring her I'll be okay.Sitting up, I glance up to my side to see Peter walking towards my office. He doesn't look too bright unlike before. He's holding a box which I think is chocolate.

  Peter Wellington Karen. Karen.  She is all I think of after that night at her house. I try to get her out of my head, but she keeps appearing every second. I'm definitely not in love with her. Hell no, she's Mike's long time girlfriend. Even if they've been dating for two days, there's no way I'll fall in love with my cousins girlfriend.  I wish dad is alive to tell me what to do. I'm left frustrated. Mum or Annie ain't a good choice.  I sip on the alcohol I am holding. I'm at my second bottle. I feel dizzy but I still drink on. Maybe taking a lot of alcohol will take my mind off her. Natasha. Karen. I remember the first time I set my eyes on Karen, she looks so much like Natasha. Well, I was day dreaming. They don't look alike facially, but Karen exhibited a lot of characters like Natasha. They can pass off as sister's. "Mr Peter?" I hear Elena call. I don't turn to her. "There's someone o

 Karen DonnaI run far away from him. I run with full speed, not looking back. I'm scared, scared that I nearly kissed him. I almost cheated on Mike! I reacted to his touches. I let him touch me. Fuck it!Tears are blinding my vision as I run. I don't care, I let my legs carry me to wherever they want. I think I've completely lost my mind. I know it's dark and not safe to come out, but I don't care. I have to get away from Peter.The cold is hitting my skin, but I don't give a fuck. Running away is my only option. I shiver as the breeze blows. Goddamnit!I slow down when I see group of guys at a bar corner, smoking and drinking away. I want to turn back and run away, but that means going back to Peter. I shake my head and continue walking. I gulp loudly as one of the guys set his eyes on me. He nudged his friend who is puffing out the smoke from the cigarette. I shudder as I see them looking at me with those scary ey

From the way she talks, eat, laughs, frowns - oh shit, I'm in love with Karen. Definitely.I pick up my phone and dial my bestfriend number. She picks up immediately, her cheerily voice filling my phone. On a normal day I would have been so excited to hear her voice, but here I am, frowning and eager to say whatever I wanted to say to her."I can't believe you're calling me. It's been months Peter." She complains. I shrug, "I'm sorry, Maya, I miss you." I miss my best friend. She's always been there for me but I'm not always there for her. I suck."I miss you too. I just came in from Las Vegas.

 Karen DonnaThe excitement in me is enough to burst my heart into two. Two whole weeks to spend with my family! That's really amazing. Maybe it wasn't really a bad idea working with Peter. I have to thank him and apologize to him, especially for the slap I gave to him.I roll out my mini box to the sitting room to find Peter sitting on one of the couches. He followed me over to drop me at the airport. To say, I am glad. It's an opportunity to apologise to him. He really did not deserve the slap.Our eyes meets. I smile at him. He ignores it. My heart breaks. "Are you ready?" He asks, dipping his hands into his pocket. He stands up from his chair. I nod my head, already feeling bad for treating him wrongly. He begins to go out but I stop him. "Can I talk to you, please?" I request. He nods after few seconds of unspoken words."Sure." I clear my throat. I'm wishing he'll accept my apologies. I've been dis

 Karen DonnaI ring the doorbell continuously, waiting for Jane to show up. She doesn't instead it's her mum that opens the door. She is all full with smiles when she sees me."Is Jane in?" I ask after pleasantries and fake smiles.She shakes her head. "No. She was home few minutes ago but left even before I could fix her dinner." I sigh. I really wanted to punch her in the guts for misleading my brother. Maybe she doesn't deserve it, maybe I should've talked to Ralph instead. "Okay, tell her I came over." I say with a smile and leaves even before she can say a word. I sigh, as I walk home. I kick little rocks on the floor as I walk. Did I overreact? Maybe I was angry because Jane haven't been the best friend I expected her to be these past weeks. She's been acting off. She never reply my text or pick up my calls anymore. She makes me feel like I don't have a best friend which I care about so much. Funny how she never wante

Mike, He might be with her and starts suspecting I'm hitting on his girlfriend. I hate this new feeling. I have just gotten back from the police station.

 Karen DonnaI got a call from Mike to meet him up at our favorite cafe. I can't help the excitement anymore. Even though I was mad at him last night, I can't wait to jump into his awaiting arms that I've been longing to touch me at every inch of my body. I crave his touches, his kisses, his sex. I crave everything about him. Truthfully, I hated how things turned out last night. I felt I overreacted, but I deserved a warm welcoming from my boyfriend.I push last night's thought out of my head and make my way to the bathroom. I wash my hair with warm water and shampoo. I wash my body, making sure to scrub away the smell of coffee that still lingered on my bare skin. I wrap myself up in a towel and walk out of the bathroom. After applying lotion to my skin, I pull into a pink cropped hoodie and a denim trouser. I wear air Jordans to match with my outfit. Damn, I look good. After applying so many products to give my hair a good look, I style it. I part
