“Are you going out there again?" Sander's voice bubbled through the thick silence preeminent in the room. Kensington nods gently and drops the lip gloss. She smacks her lips softly and checks herself out in the mirror. Her look isn't looking satisfying enough, she picks the contour and begins to apply it over her face. “Kenzie," Sander called, throwing her hands on her shoulders. A dissatisfied smile painted her face, “I don't like seeing you all dressed like this," she gestured at the revealing skimpy dress that showed off her cleavages and thigh. Sander has been her only friend. The only one she had before she met Jerome, her boyfriend.“Is he making you do all this?" Sander continues, packing up her hair in a pony tail style. Kensington groaned and yanked her hair from her grip, she jolted to her feet, “You are ruining my makeup." She let her hair fall freely over her shoulders. “Don't tell me you are doing this because of him?" By him, Sander was referring t

She froze at a spot, training her eyes on the door. She ran back to the door, her heart raced wildly. She pounded her fist hard on the door. She was breathing heavily.“Hey Honey, Get the door!" A lady trilled from the house. Her ears twitched. Her fist remained on the door without moving. She could hear her heart beating so loudly. Her ears rang sharply. The door clicked. She stumbled backwards. The door was pulled open from the other side. She held her breath.“Hey," Jerome appeared from the other end, surprise coloured his face. His fingers slowly uncurled from the door. Kensington stared wide eyes. She didn't dare blink.“Come in..” while he was still talking, a lady wearing just her underwear stepped up next to him With a scowl, she sized Kensington up and turned to Jerome, "Who is she, Jer?” Jerome swallowed hard and rubbed his hands on his cargo pants, "A friend.” A short chuckle tore out of Kensington's lips, "Jer?” She said with her lips stretched in a grin."Wo

“Jerome?” Sander said in a clipped voice, swallowing down the rage built up in her against him. He had a smug look on his face. He appeared nonchalant about the situation on ground. His eyes glinted mischievously, "Where is my girl?” His girl? Sander's stomach growled in annoyance, she threw her gaze off his face.“Take yourself away from here," She implored calmly despite the storm brewing in her chest. "Sander…" She heard Kensington call her from behind. She craned her neck to see a view of Kensington standing before the bathroom with a blue towel tied around her.“Let him in." Sander sighed. Jerome smiled victoriously and walked in with his shoulder raised high. Kensington felt a tingle in her. Butterflies swarmed in her stomach. He walked in and sat on the couch like a king with his leg crossed over the other. When she heard his voice, she literally flew out of the bathroom.Maybe he wasn't a brute afterall? He was here to apologize for his malicious deed. He

Tears ran down her face as she watched him bask in glory while he looked at her miserly.“You are a beast." “One of the sweetest compliments I have ever heard," He said nonchalantly and snapped his finger in the air. Was this the man she had loved all her life? Her heart was being torn apart, into shreds and he didn't care.“Leave my house!!" She ordered calmly, pointing a finger at the door. He clicked his tongue, “I will, my love. But first, we have unfinished business." Kensington squinted her eyes. “I have no business with a monster like you. Now, leave!!!" She barked loudly. Sander heard her voice. She jumped to her feet, wore her flipflops and skirted out of the room.“Did you read the terms and conditions of the agreement you signed with Mr. Henry?" Jerome asked with a mischievous smirk on her face. Something snapped in her head. Mr. Henry had asked her this as well. She didn't read. She never had time to because Jerome was on her neck to get the deal signed.“

Kensington returned home with a decision settled in her heart. She ate dinner and even exchanged conversations with Sander. Sander's face was coloured surprise. She talked with her while wondering what might have played out in Mr. Henry's place. After dinner, they retired to sleep. Sander's face began to ring, disrupting their sleep. She checked the caller ID. It was Jerome. She sighed harshly and turned her phone off. She turned off the light and returned back to sleep. Kensington slept peacefully, pushing back the wearying thoughts in her mind.>>> Sander was shocked when she heard Kensington ask to go to the park with her. “Are you serious?" Sander squealed in excitement. “Yes. And we will visit the mall as well. Prepare your favorite dish," Kensington added much to the bewilderment of Sander. “Really?" Sander squealed. “Yes. Dress up, we need to go," Kensington said, her face brightened by a warm smile. Sander hugged her heartily. She ran into the bedroom and beg

“That jerk. I will give him a good piece of my mind," Sander fumed and marched down to the car. She knocked on the window. The car's door was jerked from the other side. Jerome stepped outside. A black sunglasses on his face hid the angry flare in his eyes.“Why did you hang up on me?" Jerome fumed and grabbed her arm. Sander eyes narrowed, she winced softly when he dug his fingers on her arm.“Hang up? You are a dreamer…”"I… .”"I did,” Kensington cut in. Jerome turned his gaze to her. He swiped his glasses off his face. "Keeping away from me?” He asked with a smirk dancing across his face, his feet plodded softly approaching her. Kensington held her breath, buried her hands in the pocket of the hoodie she wore. Jerome got to her and stretched his hands to her shoulders. The mere brush of her fingers over her shoulders made her body quaver in fear. Her gaze dropped low to the ground calculating the large mass of sand beneath their feet.“I hate it when people try to
