“Do you think the bookstore next to Wixon still has it?” Valencia leaned on the kitchen counter near the sink, tapping her fingers on the ceramic surface. “Yeah, trust me the last time I visited that bookstore down on 2nd street was 2 days ago. it was a recent visit so I’m sure they still have a few left in the Non-fiction section.” The voice on the phone said. She shrugged her shoulders as she bobs her head, “Alright, I’ll try to search for that book later.” Valencia replied, “It's better if you start finding it now than wait later, that book is very limited in stocks, Heck! When I realized that I needed that book I crammed all night to search for it online but they're all sold out, I really regret not buying it earlier.” They groaned. There was a surprised expression evident on her face “Really?” Valencia continued, “I wasn’t expecting that, then I should change my clothes and get going then.” She left the kitchen in a hurtle and stridden directly to her bedroom on the 2nd floor.

“I can’t give you this book, my cousin instructed me to buy this specifically. Just like you said, there are alternative books similar to this one, I’m sure you could find an alternative.” He smirked, “Next in line please.” He turned his head in front before He steals a glance at her. He strolled at the cashier passing her infuriated figure, seemingly unaffected by her heated grimace. “Cheeky bastard!” Veins popped on her forehead and jaw from sheer anger when she watched him take his wallet inside his blue blazer and gave the money to the cashier woman. He walks past her like she wasn’t even there and left the store, “I want to strangle him to death with a rope and throw his carcass in a drum full of acid and then dig a hole 6 feet deep, I’m sure the police wouldn’t notice if I put a dead animal above his body right?” She was oozing with animosity while glaring at the door where he came out not noticing the trembling girl on her left, “W-what did you just say?” the girl stammered,

“Well….I’ll check my calendar first once I get home, then I’ll tell you my answer after the event is finished.” The petite girl wanted to jump in pure glee when she finally have an opportunity to spend time with Dion. “Thank you for your consideration, Mr Nester.” She beamed, “Your welcome Ms. Hensley, You should get home, office hours already ended a couple of minutes ago.” Dion added. “Yes, Mr Nester! Have a safe trip home and you too Mr. Nicholas.” Victor waved his hand indolently while sending her a small grin, “You too.” he muttered. They watch the girl leave the building, it was obvious how happy she was they could tell that she’s on cloud nine, “Wow~ I wasn’t expecting that, I thought you would brutally reject her and not give her a chance.” Victor commented. “I’m not that cruel….I think.” Dion replied, unsure of his answer. “Uh-huh, right. Come on I’m starving.” Victor went first before Dion followed him from behind “Hey, wait for me.” Dion said sprinting to Victor's side.

A concerned expression of a man appeared in her vision, “That was a pretty awful bump you have there, here use this to ease the pain.” He stretches his arm towards Valencia with an item in his hand, it was a soda can. His worried gesture is insisting her to take the cold beverage.Valencia pondered in a jiff before she decided to take the can in his hand, “Thank you” she replied with a meek tone and presses the cold can against her slightly swollen forehead. She elevated on the ground and gave the man a quick head bow before leaving the building in a flustered state.She crosses the pedestrian lane that is laid out in front of the entrance door of the condo after waiting for the cars to pass by and stood under the shade of the Pine trees to wait for a taxi. She stops pressing the cold bottle on her forehead after she felt the pain slowly subsiding and wipes the excess water on her frons with her free hand.She lifts her right arm mid-air with her thumb sticking up, sending a signal t

“Take out number 38! Take out number 38! Please, take your order here at the counter.” I feigned no ambivalence when I scampered at the counter after checking the paper in my hand, I took a swift keek at the man before I averted my sight elsewhere when I saw him staring at me with an evident frown on his face “Why does he look upset?”Sweat began forming on my forehead while striding at the claiming area, “Number 38, pl-” I unintentionally slammed the paper on the counter out of a rush that made the employee shriek out of surprise.A faint hue of red crept on my cheeks from feeling abashed by my actions, “Sorry for the scare, I didn’t mean to do that, but here's the number.” I started embarrassingly, I noticed her charring look while taking the paper that has my takeout number printed onto it “Alright…here you go, Ma’am, hope you enjoy.’’ she said with a stilted voice before she pushed the brown tray towards me.I bobbed my head and gave her a sheepish smile before I uttered, “Ah, yes
