Chapter 62We were heading home after a fun-filled Sunday. Kathy and I spent a lot of time on the way, hitting on every joke we found on the internet. As much as I loved the fun, her words of tease still left an impression in my mind, a feeling I couldn't shake off. We got home sooner and Kathy went ahead to fix dinner. Kathy was indeed cheerful and I didn't want to ruin her moment. "I would have left the kitchen for you but you might end up burning the whole house. Besides, I am a better cook." She bragged. I just shook my head not wanting to reply her. Just when you feel she is being all nice, she would bring something up that would change the mood. "You do, you. I don't mind. I already know that I do not know how to do these things, you don't have to rub it in."She smiled as a knock on the door distracted us. Kathy was about to get it, "Don't worry, I will get it."I went to get the door and I saw Fred with a huge smile on his face. He was looking all neat like he was going so

Chapter 64The last few days were still foggy but I remembered Elliot took me back home after the charity event. Seeing Sharon Myles reminded me of the interview that was sabotaged because of her silly questions and her hatred for me. I had to keep my cool although Elliot thought I was just trying not to get pissed because of the time she came to the restaurant. I didn't tell him about the interviews because he would have interfered and I didn't want that. He knew something was wrong but he didn't stress it out on me which I appreciated. It was a reminder from the previous night that woke me up, going ahead to do my regular morning routine. I had to promise myself not to skip work anymore because my paycheck at the end of the month would be minced to crumbs None of the interviews proved to be successful and although I feigned nonchalance, it actually did hurt a bit. A lot. Maybe the reason I haven't been successful in that way is that it wasn't what I was meant to do. I stopped dr

Chapter 66That was the only thing in my head as I tried to make breakfast. I knew that I wasn't the best at cooking but I thought of Elliot and I knew that I would want to make him a meal one day. I tried my hands with some toast and eggs, but I hardly had any success. Also, I planned to do a full-course meal later in the evening. As much as I wanted to get past it, the picture of them together filled my mind. Seeing them together meant only one thing, they made up. Things were fine between them but I was scared of Kathy rushing things. Amongst barging into them making up, I really wanted them to be sure that they were doing the right things.The most important thing was everyone was getting the life they wanted, being with who they wanted, people that tickled their fancy. I was trying to make pancakes this time, but I burnt half of them. I was trying to imitate those perfect brown pancakes that looked fluffy and easy to chew because of how much they were prepared with finesse and a

Chapter 68My days were getting busier. I didn't know how long I would be able to hold on. I mostly come home with back pains and sore feet, sometimes a hissing pain in my knees. Then I signed up for this, modeling. The stress and the must training were all worth it. As I began my day, I took my phone and texted Elliot if he was down for dinner because I had a lot of things to discuss with him. I finally wanted to talk to him about my job and everything in between. I was hoping for the worst, I paused as I typed the message. Then, I didn't think about it too much. I just clicked the send button. He replied almost immediately.I smiled, shuffling my phone in my coat as I focused back on the class we were taking. I tried to shake the heaviness that was lying on my shoulders, I thought about the several ways that he would snap. Elliot was not the type to have a temper but when something was accumulating for so long, he'd snap. That's how well I knew him. So, I began to think of his reac

Chapter 70We were pretty confused about what to get for lunch. Later we finally decided to get a healthy lunch, with salad as the side dish. Jason was not much of a talker but he gave healthy tips on how to be better since everyone was all about competition. Myra and I were pretty focused on our food when he asked us. "Do you hit the gym from time to time?" Myra and I stared at each other for a while unsure of what to say. "Nope." Myra shook her head. He wasn't impressed. "That's not good, you have to go to the gym at least three times a week. You guys could also have a dumbbell at home so you can have private workouts. It would help you guys in the long run." We both nodded. It was cool that someone was finally putting us through, we didn't seem all that lost. I kept thinking about where I was going to get a dumbbell because that was something I really wanted to try.After lunch, Myea and Jadon reminded me of the party. Going through the tasks of the day, I totally forgot about t
