Valerie All I was trying to do was reach home hastily as people rushed along the sidewalk around me. I might have even bumped into a few but at this point, I just didn't care. As my apartment building came into view a sigh of relief left me, finally I was there. At last, I was going to be home. The only thing I was glad about was it being situated in the hustle and bustle part of the city and being within walking distance of the office, only if you liked to walk. It was a time saver yet I have been unable to be back home for the last two days. Walking into my apartment the first thing I did was fall onto the couch, a wave of exhaustion instantly hit me. Waking up early and staying at the office for days to submit plans for an event that was almost a week away may not have been the best idea. No one said event planning was easy - the deadlines, the nagging clients, and the pressure to make everything perfect were extremely draining on employees. After the stressful day, all I wanted

ValerieI groaned looking at the clock beside me on the bedside table. It was three in the morning and I couldn't even get a wink of sleep after my fight with Aiden. Getting tired of tossing and turning in bed since lying down, I moved to the living room hoping that some Netflix series would help me. Surfing through all that was available for ten minutes, I ended up with two options only. One was a horror series and the other was a romantic series. I sighed not liking any of the options.I knew Aiden was mad at me and mad was saying it slightly. The worst part was that I knew I was to be blamed for it, I caused this pain to both of us. Moreover, I just hated it when someone was mad at me, especially at my expense.Deep down I knew I had to apologize for all the ruckus I had caused. Taking in a deep breath I picked up my phone to call him. I know it was three thirty in the morning but I had an intuition that he might be awake too just like me. The phone rang for a bit and with every s

Valencia "Oh, I'm sorry," she paused taking another look at me. "It's just you look so similar to me. We both have dark blonde hair and our facial features are a lot too similar. Except for our eyes and maybe nose too, but we could easily pass as sisters!" There was no denying the fact that her voice was sweet and she had a childlike personality. "Oh, that's nice,” I said, a bit taken aback. We were similar looking but it wasn’t a big thing or was it? Makeup could turn anyone into anything, there was no big deal in this. "I’m really sorry about that, have a seat," she seemed to have gotten on the fact that I was feeling a bit uncomfortable. She was generous and overly happy, maybe it was all because of her being a bride-to-be. Taking a seat, we ordered some light snacks and tea. The other woman was her assistant and spoke only when required. "So, I have heard a lot about your work, and from what I could gather you’re one of the best event planners out there." She looked at some

Valerie "Melanie, give this file to Mrs. Williams and inform her that I have sent her the ideas for Laura's wedding. She needs to give her input on these before I present them to Laura today or I will have to reschedule," I made the last changes to the presentation before attaching it to the mail to Williams. She was the kind of woman who always liked to put things in for later and I had been the one to feel the heat for that. "Okay, anything else?" She questioned, I tried to concentrate on my work but my mind was so occupied with what had happened last morning that I almost wanted to wrap up work and vent out my feelings. "A cup of coffee please," I gave her one of my fake smiles rubbing my temples. The memories from the morning were playing on my mind like a reel in a loop. "Are you alright? This is like the fourth cup you have asked ever since you came in," I could hear the worry in her voice which seemed like a strange emotion. I had never shown any emotions that would make an

Another day, another morning, I woke up early. I informed my boss l about my dad being hospitalized, she let me take off for two days considering it a family emergency. There was no denying the fact that she was shocked to know that I had a father. She made it quite evident in her shock-filled gasp over the phone. Getting office out of the way I thought about what to do. I didn’t have any idea about what I was going to do with my father. All I knew was that I still had to see him, hiding wasn't an option. I made the short journey to the hospital, taking the long route and delaying as much as possible. When I entered his room I found him staring at the ceiling. I literally would have felt more relieved if he was sleeping. He didn't avert his eyes once as I settled myself on the chair beside him. It almost felt like the old days, when he never cared at all. I cleared my throat to get any reaction but none came. "Dad," I called him softly but his eyes didn't tur
