"If it is because of that night, well I'll love to break it to you that it was or is a one time thing. So, quit coming to my place of work and acting like we are friends or something."

Kitty sneaks in. Once under the stream of searing water, I let them fall freely. The tears feel cool on my skin under the heat of the shower. I realize I'm acting like a fool.

“You and Cindy are complicated, you both have too much birth secret, if that be the case you’re free to love her.” I smile. “Cindy… Cindy, no, I am leaving because of her.” I stood straight and turn to Suzy. “Let’s disappear together.” Suzy curled her lips up and waved her hands. “I am not letting you or any man use me again.” I laughed at her choice of word. “I am leaving this place all because of you and Cindy.” She stretched her hands out for a handshake but I pulled her into a hug instead. “Friends should embrace each other.” I mused but she pushed me away and frowned.

Damien asked as he took a seat beside me, running a hand through his damp hair. "Perfect Strangers,” I replied. Damien lifted an eyebrow. "What is it about?” "It’s about seven friends who decide to share every call, message, and notification they get during a dinner party. Of course, secrets unravel and chaos follows."

And when friends became enemies, they also became strangers. It had been months since Liviana last seen the man she called her best friend. Far too long, she once would have said, before their friendship was far too gone. And so, when she walked into a club she didn’t even know the name of, overwhelmed and riddled with nerves for the night ahead, the last thing on her mind was this run in.

No one paid attention to the tall guy suddenly going rigid by the fire or the shorter one pulling back from a random kiss with flushed cheeks. Marcus didn’t hesitate.

Aida was already feeling unloved and she was overwhelmed by jealousy. The mysterious stranger approached her with a gentle smile. "Are you okay, little one?" he asked. "Who are you?" Aida asked. "My mother told me not to talk to strangers." "Well you are already talking to me, little one." The stranger replied. "And I am not a stranger. I am your mother's friend." He said.
