“Who is who?" I am surprised by Jim's sudden change in behavior.“Don't dare me Princess” he says, holding my wrist firmly that it hurts“You're hurting me Jim” I tell him“Who is he, Anastasia?” He questions.“Who” I yell and Jonathan comes into the room.He releases my hands from Jim and takes me out of the room, holding my hands.“Are you okay?” He asks me when we're in another room that I assume to be his.“Yes I am” I say rubbing my wrists, “why did he act like that?”“Jim is very possessive, and possessive people do not like sharing what's theirs” he tells me, taking my hands into his and applies an ointment on it.“But he was hurting me” I whimper when Jonathan presses hard on my wrist.“I'm certain he didn't mean to” he tells me blowing my wrists and I let out a sigh.“Is he always like this?” I ask Jonathan.“Only when it comes to someone he loves… Just give him a little time”“Okay” I sighHe sits me down on the bed before leaving the room.I hear shouts and I squeeze myself

Anastasia’s POV“Ordering Jim around was fun, it just gives me a sense of happiness, like he loves me enough to do what I want” I tell myself and smile.Jim goes downstairs to drop the tray like I told him to, and I decide to take out my phone from my bag.I tap on my screen and open the phone.Opening it, I see Stewart’s chat displayed on my screen, and I can’t help but wonder when I opened the chat.“Was it Jim? Is it that he doesn’t trust me?” I ask myself and I could feel anger rising in my chest and my face clearly revealing how disgusted I am with his behavior.“Why is he so goddamn insecure?” I whisper yell, not wanting to attract Jonathan’s attention.Just at the right moment, Jim opens the door and I could see him read the expression on my face“What’s wrong Anastasia?” He asks me like he doesn’t know what he did wrong.“Did you go through my phone? Hell yes, you went through my phone. Why Jim?” Annoyance evident in my voice.“Maybe you shouldn’t have lied about Him, Anastasi

“You have a message” I tell himHe quickly grabs his phone and as it lights up, indicating that he has seen the message, his face shows no expression, and it only leaves me wondering if it's Jessica that picked me on the day of the ball.“Is everything okay?” I ask him, deciding not to bring up the topic of Jessica.“Yes” he says, turning his face towards me, placing his palm on my covered lap and giving it a little squeeze.“It’s really nothing to worry about” he assures me and I brush it off.The man passes our order to Jim, and I mouth a “Thank You”.I carefully place the food on the laps and wait.“How about we go to my spot, and then we can have a mini picnic”“That’s okayyy” I cheer in excitement.“You’ve been really excited lately, anything fun happening in your life?” He asks.“Well yeah, you!” I smile, proud of my flirty line.“Girl, ain’t no way you were trying to flirt with me. Little wonder you haven’t got any man before me” he says in a duh tone.“Fuck you Jim” I giggle a

Anastasia’s POV.“You would be able to see Anastasia Michael, your daughter” are the words I hear, loud and clear, immediately I open the car door.I see the shocked expression on his face that tells me that he was hiding something and I just caught him in the act.The words keep repeating in my head and a tear flows freely down my cheeks“Who are you” I ask“What do you mean Princess?” he says like nothing happened.“Who the fuck are you Jim” I yell“Calm down Princess, why are you so mad? What did you hear?” He asks.“Who were you on the phone with, and who did you promise could see me?”“Princess, I told you that I’m not hiding anything from you. I was talking to my mom. Ain’t no valid reason you’re pissed Anastasia” his voice filled with disgust.“Start this car and take me home” I order and he does so quietly.“Princess-“Here is your card” I interrupt, carefully placing his card on his lap.“Princess, we’re not going to go to part ways when we’re mad at each other”“I don’t want

“I love you” I whisper“I love you too” he says and let’s go of me from his embrace“As a friend I mean” I mutter and he smiles.“As a friend, dear Anastasia” he tells me and I smile.I head into the kitchen to arrange the groceries and just tidy up, after all, it was the least I could do after being so shitty to everyone.The bag of groceries I kept on the counter was still lying there, untouched. And I decide to place all the groceries where they belonged in the fridge.“All you need to do is exist, Anastasia, don’t burn your beautiful black skin with hot water. Hell, there was steam coming through the corridors”.I turn around and hear Jim say behind me.“It was you” I smile“It was his voice” my mind reminds me since I was too caught up that I couldn’t recognize the voice“Thank you” I add, he smiles and walks away.My insides dance with joy, realizing that I’m on good terms with everyone, except Jim.I finish up from the kitchen and head into my room.I lay on my bed and disconne
