Christopher had taken the 'see you around' promise really seriously.He had meetings in the restaurant everyday! Plus a dinner or Lunch with Elsa here and there.She was stuck with having to see him everyday, his gaze doing things to her, her wet dreams about him increasing just as the nightmares about her mysterious groom.It was all overwhelming, which was why she took a day off.Her father had been a little worried, and he had chipped in a question or two about her state of health, while intently observing the bags underneath her eyes and her back-breaking, neck-snapping posture on the sofa."Are you sure you are okay? I've been observing you. I'm glad that you are becoming more responsible but--""I'm good, Pa."His hand tightened around his briefcase."Are you entirely--""Romito is fine. Will you stop worrying for nothing?" Her mother stepped into the sitting room in her loose blue shirt and black baggy pants, flats, and her branded handbag.She could be a century old and she wo

Finally, DeTaste.They got down from the car at the packing lot that was right in front of the restaurant. Just then Chris and Jett came out to greet them."You look really beautiful tonight, Amryelsa." Chris said, helping her out of the car."Thank you. You look stunning yourself."Jett stepped forward and helped Ivy."Red," Chris commented, looking straight at Ivy. "Is there anything you wouldn't look breathtaking in?""For someone who has only seen me in my formal office wear, that's a bold statement." Ivy chuckled nervously."Is that so?""Dinner!" Jett declared, breaking off the awkwardness. "I'm hungry and Chris has handed me with a lot of business to do after this so. Shall we--"Elsa hurriedly stepped forward at that moment, almost tripping over the stairs but Chris caught her just in time."Elsa, are you okay?"Ivy rushed from the other side of the car over to her.Elsa didn't answer, instead she held on firmly to Chris's arms that had being her rescue."Are you alright, Amry

"Wwwhat?" She slurred after a while of silence and Ivy froze, not breathing in nor out.Then Elsa's eyelids slid shut again. Till she started snoring lightly, indicating that she had fallen back asleep. For Ivy, silence reigned through the room except for her pondering heart and Elsa's light snoring.Had Elsa heard what she had said? How long had she been awake? What if she woke up in the morning and remembered? Elsa wasn't one to forget things that she did while she was drunk nor the words spoken to her!Had she just ruined it all for her best friend? What about their relationship? Would it stay the same after this? Intact or forever broken?Ivy immediately picked up her phone, tears streaming down her face, as she imagined how shattered Elsa would be in the morning. Her sight blurry as she went from one site to another, checking through expensive dresses and gifts that she might use as an apology come daybreak. She made her orders, her mind racing, her hands trembling as the thou

That and the two nights that followed, she had no crazy dreams of him nor nightmares of her marriage.She went to work as usual the next day, feeling refreshed and happy with herself.She scrolled through her phone to see if there are any movies she could see as a way to reward herself, maybe even go to a beach, a vacation or something.She was in the mood to meet new people.Then her phone rang.Elsa again."Hello, Spoilt Brat.""That is my line, you Dirty Thief." Elsa snapped back over that phone, Ivy let out a dramatic exasperated sigh."I thought I was a Princess.""Forget that. It's been two days since our last conversation. How are you even breathing without hearing from me?""Honestly," Ivy took in a deep breath, nodding lightly. "I think the air has been a little crazy.""Good because I don't understand how you can live without me for two whole days. You love me, remember?""I know, I know. You know what, I'm also wondering the same thing about you.""Oh, me? I've just--""Bee

It had been a little bit of a rushing mess after the shelf had been lifted off Chris back's. There was an ambulance, people running around to help and boom, the hospital."All clear." The doctor said to her, tucking one hand into her lab coat. "You can go home this evening.""It a whole fucking shelf, Doctor. I mean, you should have seen the shelf. Fucking huge!" Elsa turned to the doctor, her hand grazing Ivy's own affectionately. "Is it alright if we stay for longer, just to ensure that everything is really fine."The Doctor looked back at Elsa, a weary expression on her face, as if she was tired of life and everything in it."I feel fine," Ivy chirped in, noticing the tension."You are the injured one here, Princess, you don't get to judge." Then she looked back at the doctor. "So, can we? This is an expensive private hospital after all. Whatever the bill is, we'll pay it." Then her voice dropped to a low sympathy seeking tone. "I'm just so worried for my friend."The doctor let ou
