"I love the graphics design you guys submitted for the ad Rose."
"Thank you sir"
"You've always been so efficient and diligent. Keep up the good work Rose"
"I will sir"
Fred nods his head and continues working but he looked up when he noticed I'm still standing.
"Is something wrong?"
"Not really sir"
"So, why are you still here?"
"Well.. " I hesitated a bit.
"Go on"
"I wanted to ask..uhm.. I wanted to ask about M.. Mark sir. "
"Mark? You are on first name basis now?"
"Yeah... He actually told me to call him that"
He just nods his head.
"What about Mark?"
"Well..uhm.. It's been a while I heard from him, I've been trying his number but it's not going through."
"Hmm. Well, he is busy with work. He is out of the country presently, work emergency"
"Oh" I say disappointed.
Why didn't he tell me?
"Do you happen to know when he will be back?"
"No"
"O..okay.. Thank you sir"
I head for the door.
"Wait Rose"
"Sir?" I say looking back.
"Mark is my friend but I like you Rose and I just want to tell you that you should be careful. Mark has always been a flirt and..never mind..... just be careful with him, alright?"
"Okay" I say and head out a little bit annoyed.
Why will he say such a thing about Mark?
************************************
It's been a week I heard from Mark and I've been worried, anxious and missing him.
It's so crazy.
I stay in my room sulking.
"Hey grumpy"
"What is it?"
"Don't bite my head off"
I roll my eyes.
"What is it Mel?"
"Your true love is inside"
"Who?"
"Who else could it be.. Mark of course"
I stand up immediately.
"Mark is here?"
"Yes"
"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God"
"I think that should be Oh my Mark, oh my Mark, oh my Mark" Mel says imitating me.
"Shut up. It's not funny"
"Whatever. Aren't you coming out?"
"Like this?"
"Yes?"
"Not in my life.. I will take a quick shower and do a little bit of make up, dress up and come out, please delay him a bit"
"You look good like this"
"No.. I look like a wet cat. Please Mel"
"Okay, okay"
"Don't you dare tell him I'm just taking my bath"
Mel rolls her eyes.
"Alright. Just go already.. And remember, you owe me one."
"I'll repay your kindness ma'am"
I rush into my bathroom.
************************************
"Hi Mark"
Mark looks up from where he is seated chatting with Mel.
"Hi Rose"
"Mel can I talk you? Excuse me Mark"
I pull Mel to her room.
"I hope you didn't tell him I just had a bath"
"Relax babe, don't you trust me?"
"You can be devilish sometimes"
I start leaving the room
"Oh. Your lipstick is smudge"
I turn back shocked and run to the mirror but it was okay.
"Mel" I say in a menacing tone.
"Just kidding" She says with a wicked smile on her face.
Yep, she's definitely devilish.
I leave the room to go and meet Mark.
I'm really nervous.

Episode 4
After hours of working, we finally finished setting up Mark's house.
The interior decoration colors are peach, chocolate and cream with a little touch of wine here and there.
"Thanks for helping me out today Rose"
"It's a pleasure sir"
"Oh please, drop the Sir, it's Mark to you"
"Okay.. It's a pleasure Mark" I say shyly.
God I'm acting like a teenager.
"You are so cute" he says with a chuckle.
"I'm sure you are hungry.. Let's go out and eat"
"Uhm.. It's alright, I can eat at home"
"Nope.. I want to take you out to eat"
That brought a smile to my face.
"If you insist"
We leave his house and he drove us to a restaurant nearby.
"Wow.. This place is nice.. I'm sure there food here will be expensive"
"It will be worth it" He says and winked at me.
This guy will kill me I swear.
We both enter and sit at a table in a corner.
A waiter comes immediately and gives us the menu.
I gasp as I see the prices.
"I knew it. These prices are ridiculous.. Let's go somewhere else" I say.
"Stop Rose.. Let me spoil you a little, just relax alright?" He says with a smile.
Who can resist that smile?
"O.. Okay"
He grins widely at me.
"Are you ready to order sir, ma'am?"
The waiter says smiling weirdly at me.
"Yes we will when you get that stupid smile off your face"
"Sir?"
"You heard me" Mark says, anger radiating from him, he looks scary, sort of.
The waiter leaves after Mark orders for both of us and we just sit there in silence.
About 5 minutes later..
"Here is your order"
The waiter says and smiles at me when he placed my food in front me.
"If you don't stop staring at her I'll break your jaw" Mark growls.
"S..sorry"
The waiter practically scurried from our table with Mark glaring at him.
"Mark" he turned to me and smiled, like nothing just happened.
"Sorry.. I just got jealous." He winks at me again.
My heart skips at the thought of him jealous because of me but he was really scary.
************************************
Mark dropped me off and pecked my cheek before he left.
"Well well, someone's happy" Mel says.
I roll my eyes
"Stop it"
"So how did your day go?"
I explained everything to Mel.
"He seems possessive"
"Isn't that hot?" I say dreamily.
"It is but don't you think it's too soon, I mean you guys just met not too long ago."
"Does it matter? Besides, you are the the one who believes in love at first sight"
"Uhm.. Just be careful OK?"
"Nothing is wrong Mel. You should be happy for me".
"Of course I am babe."
"Thanks"
My phone beeped..
I opened my message.
"Goodnight beautiful.
Xoxo�"
I grin.
"Goodnight Mark" I reply back.

#A WEEK LATER#
I was just getting out of the office going to the bus stop when a car horned at me repeatedly.
I stopped and looked inside when the window rolled down.
"Hello beautiful"
"Mr. Mark" I exclaim, surprised.
"It's Mark. Where are you off to?"
"Home"
"Where's home?"
"Close to Greenpark"
"Sorry, I don't know where that is"
"Oh right, you are new in town"
"Get in, I'll drop you off. "
"But it might not be in the direction you are going to"
"Doesn't matter. I'll go wherever you want"
"But..."
"Just get in"
I get in the car and he drives off.
"I'm glad I saw you today"
"Uh, why? "
"I've just been wanting to see you"
That brought a smile on my face but I try to wipe it off my face.
"Uh, why?"
"You just seem like someone I can relate with"
"Oh okay"
"Turn to the right please."
"That's my house, the one painted in peach"
"Okay"
We arrive at my house.
"Wow, your house is nice"
"Thank you"
It became awkward for some minutes.
"Do you want to come in?"
"No, I have to get back to Fred, he'll be worried"
Fred is my boss's name.
"Okay then"
I open the door.
"Can I have your number?"
"What?" I ask stupidly.
"Your number"
"Why?"
"Well.. I need your help, I want to move to my own apartment and I need a lady's advice, you know, the interior decoration and all"
"You are moving here?"
"Yes.. I got transferred here"
"Oh, okay. Your phone"
He gives me the phone and I type in my number.
"Thanks. Sweet dreams Rose"
Hearing my name from his lips made my heart skip a beat.
"Good night, M..Mark"
I step out immediately.
As soon as I enter, I breathe out, not knowing I've been holding my breath.
Oh God, is this actually happening?

Episode 3
"Yes, you" Mark says
"You know her?" my boss asks him.
"Yes. She's the lady that ran out of the restaurant."
Everyone in the room looked confused except me, I'm embarrassed.
"You looked cute actually" Mark says with a smile.
Will you stop smiling please?
It's not good for my heart.
We both continue staring at each other.
My boss cleared his throat.
I look down embarrassed.
"Anyway, this is Mark, he is a friend of mine. He is new in town "
"Hi, I'm Kate" my partner introduced herself.
Mark smiled at her in response.
"Uhm.. I.. I'm Rose" I manage to say.
"It's a beautiful name"
Okay, this guy should stop this.
"Alright, let's go Mark, I still have more to show you"
They both leave the office but not without Mark looking at me.
"Wow.. What's that about?" Kate says.
I pretended not to hear and changed the topic.
"Let's print out the design and submit"
************************************
"This is epic.. That much happened today?" Mel asked me after I told her everything, not leaving out a single detail.
I just nod my head.
"Maybe he feels the same way"
I just laugh.
"You think this is a movie or a romance novel? There's nothing like love at first sight, besides he just came for a visit so I might not see him again"
"Anyway, if he is the one for you, he will come back"
"Mel Mel, always the optimist"
"Someone has to be"
Her phone rings and she has the sheepish smile on her face when she checked the screen.
"I bet that's Felix"
"Uh, yes"
"And then I'm out..."
I leave the sitting room in a hurry because I don't want to hear there conversation.
They make me so jealous.

EPISODE 2
I look at myself in the mirror staring at my face.
Maybe I'm not beautiful enough.
Maybe I'm not tall enough.
Maybe I'm not charismatic enough.
I feel so lonely.
The sense of loneliness overwhelming me.
I want someone that I can call mine.
Someone that I will talk to in the morning and at night before I sleep.
I want someone to cuddle with.
I want a family.
I'm so desperate for one.
"Rose"
"Huh?"
"Let's go Rose, you are getting late"
"Yeah"
I carry my bag and we rush out.
We both went our separate ways at the bus stop.
Melissa works in a law firm.
I'm a graphic designer.
"Hello Rose"
"Hi baby"
I greet my partner in the office.
"You are late today"
"I just got caught up in something"
"We need to work on the finishing touches on the design for the advertisement so we'll submit today"
"Yeah.. Come on, let's work "
We work for almost 3 hours and by lunch time we are done.
************************************
I was eating my lunch alone when I look towards the door just as a guy came in.
I could not help but stare.
He is so handsome.
He moved to the counter to order for his food and I followed his every move.
And then he turned towards my direction with a tray in his hands and start coming close.
Just like in a movie, I see him walking in slow motion towards me.
He drew near to my direction and I stand up slowly with a stupid smile on my face but he didn't reach me.
He sat on another table.
That brought me back to reality.
I quickly pack my things and run out.
That was embarrassing.
************************************
"Seriously? Wow" Mel screamed in my ears, I had to move the phone from my ear.
"You seem more excited than I am"
"Of course, my friend is in love"
I roll my eyes.
"I only told you I met a guy and now you are saying I'm in love"
"'Seems like love to me"
"Rose, the boss will be here in a minute"
My office partner interrupted my conversation.
"We'll talk at home Mel"
"Of course, I need details, full details, you must not leave out anything, alright?"
"Whatever. Bye"
As soon as I hang up the door opened and my boss stepped in.
"Hello sir'
We greet him, both of us on our feet.
I notice someone behind him.
"Hello... Mark, these are my designers" My boss says.
The guy stepped forward.
Well, you guessed right.
It's him, the guy from the restaurant.
I stand there gawking at him again.
"Hello" He greets us and then look towards me.
"Oh.. It's you" He says with a smile.
Me?
What did I do?

Boring right? Sorry guys, it will get better I promise

CHAPTER 1
3 YEARS AGO.
"I'm telling you Rose, I'm going to end up beating that girl one day"
I laugh out loud.
"It's not funny" She says glaring at me.
"Don't worry girlfriend, the day you beat her up, I'll cheer you up from a far distance"
"Traitor"
"Hey, not everyone can fight"
We got home and entered our two bedroom apartment , I take off my clothes as soon as we enter and Melissa does the same as we continue our conversation.
"I just pray I don't kill her one day"
"Everyone knows Kate is a flirt, she flirts with every guy that she sets her eyes on, just tell Felix to be careful with her"
"I have. Gosh, I just wish he gets a new job or that girl gets fired from that office"
"Mel" I shout.
"What? Did I say anything wrong? You should have seen the skirt she wore today, so short and tight and she kept bending down, she was not even bothered that I was with Felix"
"As I have said earlier, you just have to talk to your boyfriend, he has to be very careful."
"Alright, I will"
"Will you eat noodles? "
"Sure"
I entered the kitchen and start cooking.
Mel asks I fondly call her has been dating Felix ever since our school days and I envy them.
I just wish I get someone to love me just like that.
Sometimes I think I'm cursed or something.
"Rose, the food is burning"
That brought me out of my thoughts.
"Oh my God"
I quickly turn off the gas cooker.
"We can still get something to eat out of it." I say checking the pot.
"You are such a horrible cook"
"I just got lost in my thoughts" I reply pouting.
"What were you thinking about?"
I just shrug.
I served the food and we went to my room to eat.
"You will find someone to love you Rose. There's someone out there for you"
"Yeah but where is he?"
"You will find him soon"
I sigh in response.
"You will find him Rose"
"Yes I know but when?"

Writers' Note
Hello lovelies,
It's here, the story you've all been waiting for. I hope you don't get disappointed.
I don't have much to say anyway, but just know this story is totally different from what I've been writing, it's not all sweet so be warned. It has a little bit of violence but I actually hope you learn something at the end of it.
It also has short episodes but it's not all of them tho.
Anyway, read and comment, criticism allowed too, point out any grammatical errors you see as usual.
LIKE and SHARE, #wink wink#
It's going to be a daily update.
There will be questions at the end of some episodes, just try and answer, alright?
By the way, this is my 10th story.. Yay.
Alright uhm... Read on.

TEASER
I fall to the ground hard due to the impact of the blow on my stomach.
I feel something moving down my face, I touched it and I saw blood on my hands.
"I ought to kill you, slut" he yelled at me, his veins popping out.
I didn't say anything, I just continue to sob on the floor.
He moved closer, I wanted to move back but I was too tired to even lift myself.
"Get out of my way bitch"
He kicked me in the stomach and walked out.
As soon as I hear the door close, I sigh in relief.
I try to sit up, tears streaming down my eyes.
The pain in my stomach too much to bear.
He probably broke a rib, again.
I manage to sit up and drag myself to the closest wall.
I start crying again as my eyes focus on the picture on the wall.
We look so happy.
I look so happy.
I was so in love with him.
I guess that's what blinded me.
No, I was not blind to it, I overlooked the signs, I kept thinking things will be better.
My emotions got the best of me, I was overruled by them.
I look towards the photo again, staring at the biggest mistake of my life.
It all started in that restaurant.

PROLOGUE
I go down on one knee and bring out the ring I've been keeping with me for a long time.
Although, this proposal was not planned and it's definitely not the atmosphere for it, I am still very nervous.
"Alright then" I say.
"Will you marry me Ava?"
Ava just stares me, no she glares at me, her hands folded on her chest and anger radiating from her.
"No"
"What?"
"You heard me Mister"
"Isn't this what you want?" I ask getting angry again.
She scoffs at my words.
"I thought this is what I wanted but recently, the thought of marrying you does not sound appealing to me" She says angrily.
Now I'm angry.
"You know what? Fine.. I wouldn't want to marry a girl who nags me all the time anyway.. Let's just forget it" I say standing up.
Ava moves close to me.
"Open your ears and listen well mister... WE. ARE. THROUGH" Ava says poking my chest at each word.
She storms out and banged the door. Hard.

This is just an idea of the third part of the story I don't know if I'll continue it tho.
Anyway, Happy Sunday.

Ava's POV
I was so nervous but I pressed the door bell anyway.
"Hi Matt" I say with a smile as I greet the butler.
"Hi Ava"
"Is Kevin home?"
"Yes, come in"
"Wait, is she home?"
"Who..oh....yes she is. In the living room actually."
I take a deep breath and enter and I sight her immediately.
"Morning ma"
"Hmm.. Morning" she replies not looking up.
I stand in the living room, there's this awkward silence and I don't know what to say.
"Why are you still here? He's in his room" Kevin's Mum says.
"Uh ok, hope you are good ma, you look stressed out"
She looks up.
"I'll be fine, thank you"
"Ok.. see you later"
I pause a bit.
"Where is his room?"
She laughs.
"You don't know his room?"
"No"
"Hmm. The first room by the right"
"Thanks"
I go up and knock the door.
"Ava"
He says in shock.
**************************************
KEVIN's POV
"Ava"
She smiles brightly and my heart skips a beat.
"Can I come in?"
"Uh?" I ask stupidly.
"Can. I. Come. In?"
"Uh.. of course."
We both enter and I close the door.
Ava looks round my room.
She looks really hot.
Shut up.
Am I seriously talking to myself in my thoughts right now?
"Your room is nice"
"Thanks."
I rub my hands nervously.
"So this is a surprise" I say trying to break the tension that I am feeling actually.
"Yes, I've not been seeing you around lately so I came for a visit. Besides, you are the one that has been always coming around."
"Oh" that's my great reply.
"Idiot. Anyway, I got this for you"
"What's this?" I collect the bag from her.
"See for yourself"
I open it.
"Wow"
"You like it?"
"Of course. You got me Jordan shoes. That must have cost a lot"
"Just little.."
"Thanks" I lean down and kiss her cheek.
Bad move.
I quickly move away and sit far from her from the bed.
"What's wrong?"
"Uh, nothing" I say quietly.
"Sure?"
"Yes. Uhm, have you eaten?" I say trying to change the topic
"No"
"Let me get something for you" I say and dash out not bothering to wait for an answer.
I lean against the door and place my hands on my fast beating heart.
"Calm down Kevin"
I dash down and get some snacks for her and yoghurt from the fridge.
I get to the door to my room and take a deep breath.
"You can do this Kevin, you can resist it" I mutter to myself.
I open the door and give her the snacks.
"Thank you"
I sit down awkwardly.
"I can't finish this yoghurt.. take some"
I move close and drink a little.
Ava laughs suddenly.
"What?"
"You have a mustache"
"Huh?"
She moves close and clean my lips.
I freeze.
My heart beats faster than normal.
I'm sweating all over.
And I start breathing heavily.
"Kevin"
"Huh?"
"What's wrong with you? You've been acting weird since"
I stand up.
"Kevin, what is it?"
"I.. I .. I don't wanna scare you"
"Well, you are already scaring me. What is it?"
I rub my hands together nervously.
"I don't know how to tell you this"
She just keeps quiet.
"It's just these days I've been feeling..uhm.. hot"
"Hot? Are you sick?" She asks with a confused look.
"I mean.. I've been getting really... I mean I've been getting "THE URGE""
"Urge? Seriously Kevin what do you mean by......" she trails off.
"Oh" Ava says quietly.
"You mean, "that urge" you wanna have.."
I nod my head.
"Oh" Ava says and look down at my trouser and look away quickly.
I'm so embarrassed right now.
And then an awkward silence.
"Well I think I will go now"
"Oh.. ok"
"Uhm.. bye. We'll see when..the..you know what... has died down." Ava says and run out.
"Damn, this is embarrassing" I mutter to myself.
I just wish the ground will swallow me up.

Bonus episode as promised (did I promise?), whatever sha. Hope y'all like it tho.

"I hope you are happy now" my Mum says immediately I enter the house.
"Uhm, about what?"
"Your Dad called me and said Ashley broke off the engagement"
"Oh...."
"Oh? Oh? That's all you have to say.. Oh?"
"Uhm.. what should I have said?"
"Oh God.. my son is an idiot." My Mum exclaims as she sits on the chair.
"Why is everyone calling me that these days?"
"That's because you are. Who called you that? I need to thank them"
"Well... it's Ava"
"Oh God." My Mum says with a sigh.
I move closer to her and hold her hands.
"Ava is not so bad Mum"
"Kevin, I'm worried about your future"
"The future will take care of itself. And the future I see is with Ava Mum"
"But the business"
"You and Dad built it together, Ava and I will build it together... trust me Mum, all will be well."
She keeps quiet for a long long time.
"I can't change your mind"
I nod my head.
"Whatever happens later, I will tell you "I told you so"
"I think I will be the one telling you that"
She sighs.
"Ava is outside Mum"
After a long silence again, she says.
"Let her in"
**************************************
"I'm still surprised how everything turned out Kev"
"Kev?"
"You don't like it?"
"It's cool but why don't you try Babe? I will prefer that"
"Of course you will... idiot"
"Seriously?" I say pouting.
"You are such a baby"
"I'm your baby"
"Kevin.. be serious"
"I am"
She shakes her head.
"We will always be together, right?"
Ava holds my hands in hers.
"Yes, we will. We are a team"
"I love you"
I place my head on hers.
"I love you"

THE END

I hope y'all got something from the story.

When things go wrong, pray.
When things are right, pray.
Remember, you are a team.

Yeah, I almost forgot.
To those whose birthdays are in this month, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, GOD BLESS YOU.
Penshalom.

Episode 14
"Hello Ash"
"What do you want Kevin?"
I sit beside her in the cafeteria.
"Nothing much... just wanna ask how you are."
"I'm okay"
"Alright. How is your project going?"
"I'm almost done"
"Good"
We stay quiet for some minutes.
"What do you want Kevin?"
"I... I want to apologize for the way I've been treating you, I'm sorry."
She looks at me surprised.
"Do you forgive me?"
"Yes, I guess"
Another brief silence...
"Anything else?"
"Yes, I wanna talk to you about the engagement"
She sighs.
"Ashley, we had a past, that's all it is to me, we were never in love with each other, we were just using each other. I'm a changed person now, I have a new life, I have someone I love sincerely with all of my heart. You will never be happy married to me Ashley, this is a forced engagement. I know you agreed to this for revenge but where is it gonna lead us? We are going to be miserable together.. Ashley I beg you, break off the engagement... Please"
I look at her expectantly, she didn't say anything.
Few seconds later, she stands up and leave.
*************************************
"She just left?"
"Yes, without saying a word" I reply Ava on the phone.
"Well, we'll keep praying then"
"Sure. Have you submitted your project?"
"Yes"
"Wow, I'm in love with a nerd" I say with a smile.
"And I'm dating an idiot"
"Me?"
"Yes"
"Wait till I see you, you will get it from me"
"Whatever"
"I gotta go, see you tomorrow"
"Alright, night"
"Yeah, love you"
"Love you too"
I hang up with a smile on my face, I decide to pray again.
I'm still hoping for a miracle.
**************************************
THREE WEEKS LATER
"What are your plans after school?" I ask Ava, we are at our spot.
"Get a job of course"
"And?"
"Go further with my education"
"And?"
"Get a house, a car, take care of my parents."
"And?"
"And what again?"
"Is that all?"
"Yes"
"No.. that can't be all"
"What else?"
"You know..something that has to do with me.. like it can't be without me"
"What's that?"
"You know.."
"Know what Kevin?"
"Marriage"
"Oh.. Why did you say it can't be without you?"
"Obviously, you are marrying me"
"What makes you think I wanna marry you?"
"Because you love me and you got no choice, you are stuck with me Ava"
"Overconfidence"
I just shrug.
"I've not really thought about it"
"Well I have.. and it will happen"
"Whatever"
"You see..."
"Excuse me"
I got interrupted by Ashley.
"Hey Ash"
"Hi"
"Uhm, what's up?"
"Well uhm.. I've called off the engagement"
"WHAT?" Ava and I shout together.
"Just like that?" I ask her.
"Well, my parents never forced me into it and you were right Kevin, I agreed for revenge but I already lost my will. You obviously love Ava and she will always be a part of you."
Ava hugs Ashley.
"Thank you" Ava says.
"Whatever"
"Thank you Ashley"
"Yeah.. bye"
She starts leaving but I stop her.
"Give God a chance Ashley"
"Maybe someday"
Then she leaves.
I turn to Ava and we both hug each other.
"This is a miracle"
"Yes.. thank you God"
Penshalom.

Episode 13
Kevin's POV
I rush to Ava's house, her Mum opened the door for me.
"I've been expecting you" She says with a smile.
"Good afternoon ma" I say
"Afternoon dear, come in"
I enter Ava's home for the first time, it's so cozy.
"She's in her room, over there" she points towards a room.
"Thank you ma" I move towards the room and knock.
"Uhm.. who is it?"
"It's me Ava"
"Kevin?"
The door opens..
"Kevin"
"In the flesh" I say
She rolls her eyes.
"Come in"
I enter her room
"Wow, your room is so neat" I say sarcastically
"Shut up.. just rearranging my room"
I sit on a chair I spotted in the corner before.
And then silence.
No one says a word.
"Kevin"
"Ava"
We both say at the same time.
"You first" I say
"Uhm.. I'm sorry for my rash decision. It was so overwhelming but my Mum talked sense into me. Every relationship has it's own storm, this is ours, we have to fight it together, us and God."
I was quiet for a while.
"That was the mistake I made Ava, apart from not telling you, I didn't tell God, I should have put it in prayer. I was fighting alone, on my own, and it almost destroyed us" I say sadly.
"We both made mistakes.. if not for my Mum.."
"I will love your Mum forever." I say, smiling
"Alright, what next?"
"We pray"
"Okay.. come here"
We both kneel down, holding hands, committing our problems in God's hands.
**************************************
"Hi Mum, hi Dad" I greet my parents and head to my room.
"You have a visitor"
I halt and turn around.
"Ashley?"
"Yes.. how did you know? Are you both on good terms now?" my Mum says excitedly.
I just shrug and go upstairs, I open the door and as expected she is sleeping on my bed.
"Hi Ashley"
"Kevin.."
"So..what's good?" I say sitting on the bed.
"Uhm.. why are you being so nice?"
"Ashley we need to talk"
"Yes.. I don't like the way you left me in school with that slut" she says with a sly smile.
I know what she's doing, she wants to make me angry but I have other plans for her.
"Ashley, are you happy with your life?"
"What?"
"Are you happy? With your life?"
"W...hy... why are you asking?"
For the first time, Ashley stuttered, she's always so confident.
"I just want to know"
"Yes I am of course, I'm rich, I'm pretty, I'm hot, what else?"
"I'm talking about you personally, are you happy deep within you? Are you happy living this way? Do you have any peace within you?"
"Why are you asking me all this Kevin?"
"I just want to know"
"I... I ... "
"You don't have to answer now"
"I have to go"
She leaves hurriedly but I saw the tears in her eyes.
Well, first step achieved.
I was removing my clothes when my Mum barged in.
"What did you do to Ashley?"
"I didn't do anything Mother"
"She was really upset when she left, you must have said something to her"
"I didn't say anything harsh to her. I want to take shower, I will join you for dinner when I'm done."
"We'll talk at dinner, ok?"
"Alright"
I go inside the bathroom.

This is not my best, bear with me please.
