You never know what the human mind is capable of
My eyes remained fixed on one page of a book for about ten minutes, I was reading a book to distract myself from a feeling I could not explain, yet not even one page of the book had been able to hold my attention.Having strained my eyes enough, I stood up from my study and went to the living room, an unopened bottle of Moët laid on the table, staring back at me with golden brown eyes.I plonked onto the couch and grabbed the bottle, “There’s no need for a glass.” I said, chugging down the bottle, my stomach churned in response, biting and grumbling.Today was one of those days Finn would be my cook, and he would be my diner too.I picked up my phone and dialed his number, silently hoping he didn’t have other plans.“Boss?” Finn’s voice echoed on the other side of the phone.“Are you home? Come upstairs” I said, hanging up immediately. In no time, Finn was upstairs, dressed in a matching two piece- more like something yacht owners wear.“Yacht…” I said, “I should consider buying on

The world is mine!
The decision to go to Darcy's party was impulsive and unreasonable, yet I found myself step into my car, and wave goodbye to Finn.“You know I can drive you.”"I'm sure I can handle myself, Finn.""Okay..." He replied, even though his face disagreed.I slammed the door shut and drove off, watching him on the rearview mirror until I was out of the compound. I pulled up to Darcy's new estate and I couldn’t help but be struck by the sheer sophistication and elegance exuding from the modern architecture of the building."The boy is lavishing" I murmured to myself, marveling at the contemporary design of the house- so like Darcy.My thoughts dwindled to how much Rosé would have admired this sight and my heart sank, but then again, I wanted to believe that she wasn’t interested in material things."Maybe you should've treated her better.." a voice whispered behind me, raising goosebumps on my skin.I turned around, and found myself face to face with Darcy, grinning brightly at me."Darcy,

What is the opposite of Okay?
"I don't know, Finn.." I replied sincerely."I really don't know why I am..""What is the opposite of okay?" "Unwell?" Finn replied, raising an eyebrow."Unwell..." I repeated."Is that how she feels? Not being okay is being unwell?" I wondered, completely unaware that I was soliloquizing to Finn's hearing."I take it that she wasn't at the party then..." he saidI paused in my tracks, staring at him in disbelief."How are you so smart?"Finn smiled sheepishly, drifting his gaze away."How old are you?" I asked.Finn glared at me with widened eyes, perhaps, perplexed by my question."What is it?" I asked, a bit confused about his perplexity."I have worked with you for two years, Sir... it's the first time you're asking me, or anyone else for that matter, a personal question.""It's not true!" I interjected,"I asked her middle name last week, that was pretty personal to me...""I am 23 years old, Sir" Finn replied, as we plonked on to the couch on my patio."But..." He paused."But

Two weeks of nothing but glimpses by the window
Navy's POVDarcy barged into my office, dressed in my latest brand designs- A luxurious suit collection from shirt to socks, the fact that he paired the three-piece suit with a street cross-bag from my store and still found a way to be astounding made the difference between him and other models."Its been a hell of a day, Navy!" He yawned, plonking onto my visitor's sofa."Modeling is like breathing to you, Darcy. Stop whining." I returned, and he chuckled wryly, pulling out his phone from his cross bag."How did the shoot go?" I asked, watching his unusually reserved demeanor."It was good. I posted a few pictures...people are going crazy for the brand. How do you come up with these things?" He asked, with his head still buried on the phone. "Well, you know, it’s kind of spontaneous. Can't really explain how." I replied, fixating my gaze in him. Darcy appeared restless, and it made me uneasy seeing this side of him."Are you expecting a call?" I asked, unable to ignore his squirms.

Anger or Jealousy?
"Woah!" Lydia gasped by the gate and we hurried over to her to see why."Why is Shanon Cartier at my gate?" She muttered inaudibly, grimacing at us as we approached.I stepped outside the gate and came face-to-face with a familiar face, towering over us."Darcy!" I exclaimed.Dressed in Varde's latest double-breasted-British suit that accentuated his masculine physique, a subtle yet inviting manly scent wrapped us all, evoking a sense of nostalgia as we gazed into his forest green eyes."I'm safe, right?" I asked, looking around suspiciously.Darcy's lips twitched to a soft smile and our hearts fluttered. I could literally feel Paula and Lydia hold their breaths behind me, glaring at him like he had just jumped out of a magazine."Boy, you're gorgeous" Paula muttered, "Thank you" Darcy replied, without breaking his gaze on me."I was wondering if you would like to go to the dinner party with me...?" He asked in his usual charming way, even though his demeanor hinted a bit of apprehen

Let me breathe!
NAVY'S POVI watched from the parking lot as she made her way out of Varde, stopping outside the gate with her phone pressed to her ear. Finn pulled the car door open and I stepped in. I was relieved that the evening had ended. For most people it was a fun night, for me, however, I was drowning in inexplicable emotions of anger and jealousy and anxiety. Scratch that- I wasn’t just myself.My eyes uncontrollably followed her around, torturing me with the sceneries of her budding affection with Darcy. Finn slammed the driver's door shut and turned towards me, grinning mischievously."What?!" I growled."Varde is the most tweeted thing tonight" he replied, squealing excitedly.The corners of my lips lifted slightly in a sad smile, and I looked away quickly, "No questions tonight, Finn" I said, knowing exactly what was coming after the brief silence between us.Without a word, he turned the car engine to life and drove off.My heart dropped to my stomach as we drove past Rosé

No right words
NAVY’S POVI tossed on my bed from left to right, overwhelmed by guilt, drowning in the regret of my own words.My brain was so active, it would not stop replaying the scenario from last night. I didn’t forget one word from my argument.Calling her ugly was top of the list.“How?! How is she ugly, Navy?!” I asked myself, displeased and disgusted by my own words.I was beclouded by her low sobs and I wanted by all means to forget them, or at least forgive myself.“Aaaargh!” I screamed in frustration.Finn slammed the door open, barging into my room, armed with two vintage books in hand.“What is it? Did you find a roach?! What is it?” “Get out!” I groaned.“Get out of my room, right now. Go home to your parents. I don’t want to see anyone.”Finn exhaled in relief and slumped on my couch, ignoring my rants.“I won’t go anywhere, Sir” he said, after settling down.“And stop drinking, please. If you’re bothered about something, it is better to confront it, face it head-

What’s worse than a coincidence?
NAVY’s POVMy phone rang tirelessly from the distance I had tossed it to. I had no intentions of speaking to anyone, hence I remained unmoved, but the caller wouldn’t stop. Irritated by such persistence, I reluctantly stretched out to it and fetched my phone.I sat up immediately, seeing the caller ID displayed on my screen.“Papà?” I answered, as I placed the phone to my ear.“Oh, Navidad!” Papa exclaimed, “I’m so sorry to bother you on a weekend, but I need you to go meet someone on my behalf.”“No, no, no Papà!” I groaned.“Why not, Navy? It’s important, I…” “Listen up!” A cold, stern voice replaced my father’s friendly, apologetic voice.“Hello mother” I grumbled.“Navy, your father can not afford to lose face with the US Embassy. The meeting was suddenly scheduled in Washington and he can not make it on time even if he started coming now.” My stepmother said.“They’re sending a representative, so it’s equally safe for us to send you.”“We’ll send you an addre

another girl, another victim…
Rosé’s POV“Another girl, another victim” I thought to myself, watching him settle down with the gorgeous blond girl.Anger coursed through me as I watched her giggling so heartily. I wished I could storm over to that table and tell her to run for her life.“Quite the charmer” I muttered to myself.It was the same for me too- on the flight to Italy, but the story was quite different when we returned.Images of him extending his hand to me flashed across my memory, “I should’ve slapped away his hands when he asked us to become friends!” I bubbled in anger.“Is it just anger?” Darcy’s voice sieved into my ears distantly.“Huh?” I exclaimed, suddenly realizing that I had been glaring at them the whole time.“Are you angry?” Darcy repeated. I shrugged indifferently, “not really.” I replied, “he can do whatever he wants…” Darcy smirked and took a sip from the big wine glass before him.“I hope it is just anger…” he said.“What else could there be?” I retorted, puzzled by his

Canoodling in the garage
NAVY’s POV The guard held the door open for Cecilia and I and we stepped out to the exit. My eyes immediately caught a couple at the parking lot with lips glued together- they were kissing.“That’s Darcy!” Cecilia squealed, pointing at them with one hand and giggling excitedly.What seemed like a cute moment to her and probably everyone around was more of a heart wrenching scene to me.I held my breath for a moment, just to settle my bubbling anger underneath.Yet the harder I tried, the harder it was. I was too angry to control myself.“Are you okay?” Cecilia asked with a smug on her face. I nodded indifferently, “Yes, why?”“It seems like there is something between you two?” Cecilia said, looking at me like she knew something I didn’t, and that smug on her face agitated me even more and I looked away.“You… Navy, you are not really good at hiding your feelings” she said.I clenched my teeth in annoyance, refusing to look at her, I was filled with distaste.“We
