I called his name but he continued walking as though he didn't hear me. I was a few meters away from him, and luckily Marilyn didn't follow me when I excused myself from her cousins. Before Hannah came to me and insisted again the proposal she was offering.If only I hadn't worn heels, I would have caught up with him earlier. He opened the door and it closed.Does he intend to leave me here? I walked even faster until I reached the door and opened it. It was a veranda and ahead was the view of the garden. No one was there. I looked around walking down the stairs and walked down the brick pathway to the center of the garden.I feel the heat of the sun on my skin, and somehow the breeze cools my skin. I am nearing the fountain when I see Zach sitting on the bench shaded by the canopy tree. His side facing in my direction and he was glaring at the fountain. His hand clenched, and his jaws tensed.What happened?"Zach," I called his name."Why are you here?" he asked me, annoyed but he did

I am running down the stairs towards the door when I see Grace sitting comfortably on the couch of Zach's living room.I just woke up and hadn't gotten ready yet when I saw the time on my phone and it was already nine in the morning. I didn't expect to wake up so late as I expected Grace to go to Zach's apartment.And I thought Grace was outside waiting for me for two hours. "Good morning you!" Grace smiled as she looked at me as though she was going to laugh. "You seem to have had a very good night's sleep, Ren.""Forgive me, it looks that way," I said shyly and took a deep breath. "Have you been waiting here for a while?""Not that long. I did not expect you to be staying at his apartment. I thought it was your apartment,” Grace remarked, grinning.I just remembered that I didn't say that I live in Zach's apartment and I facepalmed. "I forgot to tell you. Zach is the only person I know living here after five years. And we became friends.”"Become friends, I thought before you dislik

I am clutching the cup tightly while Grace was singing along the line of the song of the Big Hit Five, as well as the people around me. The red and blue lights create a pattern around us along with the rhythm of the song. I was surprised when a young girl's swaying hand accidentally bumped my cup and it went through the ground."I am sorry," said the young lady and took my empty cup."It's all right." I gave her a smile telling her it was nothing and took the cup. Although I wanted to leave the plaza, and I don't want Blake to see me here after our talk yesterday. I was wrong and I hurt him. Remembering Zach's words of his cousin, 'Hannah did everything to dump his girlfriend.' Blake did not dump me but I left and ended everything through that. That bitch! If ever our paths cross, I let her feel what pain she had done to me."Thank you," the young lady responded shyly and the guy with her whispered something, and she whispered at him, glancing apologetically in my direction. Maybe her

I slipped out of the room and into the hallway, my heart still pounding from the close call. Thank goodness Mikaella called me at that moment. I didn't want to be there when Isabella and Zach woke up; they might start asking me questions about high school that I didn't know the answers to. I answered Mikaella's call, relieved to hear her voice. "Why do you call, Mika?" I asked. "Did you go to Paris last week?" she asked. "No, why?" I replied, curious. "I just thought I saw you," Mikaella explained. "I called out to you, but you didn't turn around. Maybe it was someone who looks like you," she chuckled. I grinned in response. "I'm sure that's what it was," I said. "Although I feel sorry for the poor woman you called by my name. She must have been so confused." Mikaella laughed, and for a moment, I forgot about the awkward situation back in the room. It was good to have a friend who could always make me smile. ‘I do feel embarrassed now. Anyway, I had some dresses that suit you, R

After giving careful consideration to his locked apartment door, I pressed the doorbell firmly. What are you thinking, Zach? I clamped my jaw tight. How did he get the doctor's okay for an early discharge? I can't believe he went home.The door opened just as I was about to press another ring. I first assumed Zach would open the door with his crutches. If Zach can able to use his crutches. But it was Aldridge, the one who opened the door.He appeared to have recently showered, dressed in a white T-shirt and shorts with a towel draped over his neck. When he saw me outside, he looked utterly taken aback.His honey-brown eyes swept from me to Zach, who was watching TV with his fractured leg propped up on three pillows on the couch."Hi!" Aldridge said it with worry in his voice. He took my presence here by surprise.I walked in without saying a word to him. After I made eye contact with Aldridge, he stepped aside so I could get inside. He saw that my mood was not good just now. Perhaps he
