I BLOW ON HER

I watch her eat.The way she brings the spoonful of food to her lips, eyes smiling as she ate, sends a stab of guilt right to my stomach. I could have gotten us something better for dinner, we didn’t have to go out. But I wasn’t expecting her back, not tonight anyway. The curry had been an overbuy. My hand accidentally buying her share even after knowing where she had been. Who she had been with.She is here, and maybe I am pathetic, but I am grateful she is, i feel good that she raced all the way here. I tell her about the art competition I saw online, her eyes bulge. I try to play it off as cool, painting over what I was already working on. “Oh my god! This is good news! News worth celebrating with wine.” she gasps.I shrug, like her excitement wasn’t contagious, like my chest isn’t warm.“I said I am participating, I haven’t won.”“Yet. But that doesn’t matter, signing up is a step forward and I am so proud you took that step.” My hands pause, and so does my breathing.It’s

CAN'T LOVE HIM

“You told him what?!” I screech at Lara.Last night, Hosea and I barely got any sleep, and I am not complaining about it, instead, my mind keeps replaying the feeling of his hands all over me. It’s been a few hours since it happened, but my body wants more of it already, my mind too.What I didn’t expect, or anticipate when I rolled out of bed and away from Hosea’s grip this morning was my best friend coming in to confess that she told Hosea I had been with Johnson. That’s why he had been cold towards me.My heart constricts. He was right to feel the way he did, and I had no idea, I thought it had been just the dinner. Searching my bag for my phone, Lara snatches the bag away from me, eyeing me suspiciously. “What are you doing?”“Trying to let him know that nothing will ever happen between Johnson and I ever again, especially since all he wanted was for me to meet with his parents and explain to them that they would never be in laws with the Vega family.” I remember vividly how

SHE PROMISED

She promised.She never explained what happened with Johnson, because she had no idea that I knew.But she promised, gave me her word that she definitely would be here tonight for dinner. I think that was all the inspiration I was looking for, since I worked hard on the piece I was submitting for the competition. And I submit it, way before the deadline, but there was a pulsating need to do something with all the nervous energy I was feeling. After all of that, there’s nothing left for me to do while I wait, so I sketch this time. I am so deep in my sketch that I don’t hear the knocks on my door until they turn furious. “Seriously, you want my neighbors to file a noise complaint?” I ask when I come face to face with Thea. Looking left and right, there’s no sound coming from the other apartment on this floor or the ones above us, but someone is murmuring below us. Wincing, I give her the stink eye.She pushes past me.“Regina is at work now, so why couldn’t you hear me?”With a si
