Novel & Cerita Life In The Fasting Lane

On the high-speed train home, the scenery outside passed by in fragments, but I could not focus on any of it. Shanine slept soundly on my shoulder. She had drunk too much the night before and had been rushed onto the train early this morning, leaving her half-dazed. Her hair brushed my neck, carrying the familiar scent of her shampoo. Yet, my heart felt strangely quiet. Almost empty. That happiness had arrived too fiercely, and it had disappeared just as quickly. Phoebe sat across from us, wearing headphones and scrolling through her phone. Occasionally, she looked up, our eyes meeting briefly before she quickly looked away again, as if nothing had ever happened.

She said farewell to them before heading toward the waiting area. It was storming outside. There weren't any idling cabs, so Gabriella pulled out her phone, planning to order one with the e-hailing app. However, a black car suddenly slowed to a stop next to her. When Gabriella looked up, she saw Owen striding toward her while shielding himself from the rain with an umbrella. Months had passed since they last saw each other. Owen had lost a startling amount of weight. The dark green coat he wore only emphasized how thin he had become, like a sapling swaying in the wind.

I ate too quickly, choking several times. After eating my fill, I curled up on the floor and slept. When Carter came in again, he saw the empty plates I had licked clean. He sneered, “I knew it. Someone like you would never starve yourself to death.” I huddled in the corner, hugging my knees to my chest, head bowed in silence.

| Conceited Lady | AFTER WE eat, we decided to have a walk along. I need to find a job ASAP. We're about to cross when a fast car passed by. Damn! I almost got hit. "Like who the hell it is?" Reina asked, seems angry. "Can't he see people were about to cross?" I arched my eyebrow. "How do you know that it was a he?" I asked. "I saw the driver, of course. You almost got hit. What if that car hit you? You might be dead by now," she said. She put her right hand in her waist and bite her thumb because of frustration.

~FLASHBACK AUTHOR'S POV Everyone had ordered Italian Pasta. Sia was not hungry, so she just ordered what other three of them were ordering. They were waiting for the food to arrive, while Emily was talking nonstop. She was telling Sia about how they became friends. Apparently those three were family friends and they knew each other from childhood. Louis lived nextdoor to John and Emily's house was also close to their houses.

It's nice to enjoy the relaxed environment and get to know some of the special teams' players. The food arrives and we dig in. Lane tries to grab a cheese stick from my plate and I slap his hand. "Touch my food and you'll lose your fingers. I'm starved." He rubs the back of his hand like I actually hurt him. "Did anyone ever tell you a woman should eat salad and pretend she's never hungry?" I laugh and plop the cheese stick he was after into my mouth. I moan over the creamy cheese and fried sin. "Nope, I missed that memo," I say after I swallow half the cheese stick.

Because of my fragile health, my best friend, Eva, kept me on a tight leash growing up. She always told me, "Leah, you can't take risks." So for every date David and I planned, she had to test it out for me first. When the new roller coaster opened at the amusement park and she said it was too intense for my heart, David took her instead. After I booked a bed-and-breakfast by the ocean, Eva said the night breeze was too strong for me. So David spent the night there with her. I made reservations at a romantic couple's restaurant, only for her to say the menu might trigger an allergic reaction. That was why David took her to try it first. Every time they came back, Eva would look me in t

I said. My face was pale as death, and a nagging ache twisted in my stomach. It was an old pain that had been with me ever since I spent those three years in that cellar. Every day, I ate stale bread and lumpy mashed potatoes that had been sitting out forever. The bread was so thick and dry that it was almost impossible to swallow. Panic flashed across Henry's face. It was something I hadn't seen in ages. "Sabrina, I swear I didn't know! Do you think I'm lying?" he asked.

I'd give her the benefit of the doubt for now, but if she tried to pull one thing, she was fucking gone. Drake backed out of the garage before we took off down the road. Lane was right behind us and I couldn't stop myself from glancing in the mirror to find her in the reflection. I wouldn't let her get the best of me, but I hated that I had to be on high alert once again. Would my entire life with Drake be me looking out for the next bimbo who wanted him? God, I hoped not. "Um, hello!" Luis cried from the backseat. "We've literally passed several restaurants. I'm starving and nobody wants to deal with a hungry luis."
