Mimi? What are you doing here Mimi: hiiiiiiii Izzzzzzzz She dragged and ran to hug me Mimi: wow! is that a new top you're wearing, it's really pretty Me: are you feeling okay? Mimi: yea, why? Me: you saw me wear the top at home I furrowed my brows Mimi: I did right?. Wow, your hair is looking nice She took my weave in her hands,smoothing it Me: are you high? Mimi: what? No, Me: why aren't you at work then? Mimi: oh my Gód! Your eyes are swollen, we're you crying? She lifted my chin, turning my head side to side, like a doctor about to give a diagnose Me: give up Mimi, stop trying to change the subject, what's going on? Okay: okay, promise you won't yell I crossed my hands on my chest with a raised brow as if asking to go on Mimi: I may or may not be fired from work Me: what? What do you mean you may or may not be fired? Mimi: hey, you promised you wouldn't yell Me: I didn't promise anything, now explain Mimi: fine, I kinda slapped my boss on the face Me: what, are you crazy? I whisper- yelled, Mimi: he totally deserved it, how dare he try to assault me. He's lucky I was in a good mood if not, he would be in a hospital by now Me: so, let me get this straight, your boss tried to assault you sexually and you slapped him? Mimi: and walked out of his office, head held high She added as if waiting for a pat on the back for a doing a good job “you go girl” a voice startled both of us and we turned to see the owner of the voice Me: what the héll are you still doing here Mimi: who is this? Mimi turned to me Me: Mimi this Henry, Henry this Mimi my best friend Henry: so you're the best friend He turned to Mimi, extending his hand Mimi looked at his out stretched hand and turned back to me with furrowed brows Me: he's friends with Evans Mimi: what? I mean what is he doing here, what does he want? She turned to look at him Henry: it's nice to meet you too He dropped his hand, seeing as she won't take it Henry: by the way, what you did to your boss, very cool He smiled Mimi: why is he here Lizzy? Do you have something with him? She ignored him Me: No, and he's leaving Henry: no I'm not, we are not done with our talk Me: yes we are, and yes you are I pulled him out of the café, and after much argument, he left. I returned to a frowning Mimi Me: so hey, good news, we're having the wedding earlier I tried to change the subject, and I guessed he worked cause she was no longer frowning but is now wearing a mega watt smile Mimi: that is great, that means we have so much work to do. We've got to call the planner and the cake, oh my gosh, your wedding gown And with that, she walked past me, going in to deliver what I assume is the good news to the others. I sighed, glad I escaped that, but soon realised she was now jobless “hey! So what are you going to do now? I chased after her, but she ran away ********* “ Here, George handed me a cup of juice even when I told him I'm okay and didn't need anything, he said to at least drink something. After the encounter with Evans, I lost my appetite and haven't taken anything ever since. But not wanting to tell George that, I agreed to take the juice Me: thank you I forced myself to take a sip. He sat down turning me to look at him George: so, why did you cry?was it my mom, did she bother you again Me: no, no she didn't George: so what happened? You can tell me you know I turned away from him, looking at the ground like it's the most fascinating thing now Me: I saw Evans I blurted out George: your ex? I nodded, still not able to look at him George: so? What does he want? Me: he wanted to apologize, make things right He was silent, so I raised my head to look at him George: so, what do you want? Me: nothing, I don't want anything from him Which was actually true, I didn't want anything to do with evans, he's the past and I'm want to focus on my present George: so why did you cry? Me: what? George: earlier, why did you cry? Me: oh it's nothing, I just wanted to go confirm something from him George: him? As in Evans? Me: yea, but it's nothing, I just want to focus on the wedding now and the rest of our lives together George: no its not nothing, you met with him more than once? Me: yea, but it's just to confirm something is all, it's no big deal George: it is a big deal Lizzy, you met with him and you cried. Do you still have feelings for him? Me: what? I snapped Me: why would you even ask that George: I don't know, he's your ex, and you were head over hills in love with him. You still might have feelings for him Me: you should trust me enough to know that I don't and would never do that to you George: can I? Can I really trust you? Hurt by his words, I slapped him across the face and regretted it immediately Me: I'm so sorry baby, I didn't mean to..... I touched his cheek to check for damages but he pushed my hand away George: you know what, I think we need some space Me: no no no no no, no we don't I'm sorry and I promise never to meet with him again, I love you George, please don't do this I cried, holding unto his shirt pleading George: I love you too babe, but we need this, you need to sort out whatever it is you're feeling, and I need the space Me: babe please, I'm sorry, I promise there's nothing, he's nothing to me anymore it's you I love, please we can sort it out together He removed my hands from the grip I had on him, picked his phone and car keys and started walking out Me: where are you going? George: I'm going over to my friend's to clear my head And he walked out and banged the door after him, leaving me alone to cry 2 Likes |

I lay on the bed staring intensely at the ceiling like it's going to magically poof everything back to normal, to when I had no problems, and it was just george and I. I couldn't sleep a wink last night. I came home spent and headed straight to my bed. I just wanted to close my eyes and forget everything that happened. Mimi came in with food but I had no energy nor do I have the appetite to eat. Her many attempts for me to have a taste was futile as I flagged it off as being to tired and just needed rest. She accepted and left My door opened and Mimi peered her head through Mimi: are you awake? She whispered I nodded and beckoned. She came in and sat at the edge of the bed Mimi: how are you feeling? Me: I'm better I smiled, showing a weak attempt at convincing her I'm fine, but I guess she didn't buy it cause she crossed her hands and furrowed her brow Mimi: what's going on Liz? You're not yourself lately, you have bags underneath you lids, your eyes are always swollen cause of crying and you're not even eating. Is this about Evans, is he bothering you, cause I swear i'll kill him. Just say the word and he's dead, I don't mind, I'll just..... Me: George broke up with me I choked out She stopped talking and turned to look at me Mimi: what!? Me: I told him I met with Evans yesterday, we had a fight and he said we needed a break I tried but failing to hide the sobs Mimi: you met Evans again?? Hold on that's not the point right now. What's gonna happen now, is the wedding off? “ I don't know, I broke down completed. Why did it have to happen again Mimi, why can't it be easy just this once, I said in between sobs Mimi pulled me closer to her shoulders and I cried uncontrollably and Mimi let me, patting my head gently Moments later, we left the house for the café with me looking like the walking dead Mimi: aren't you going to at least put on a powder on your face? You look terrible Me: why bother, what's the point? I don't have the energy nor the zeal, plus no one cares Mimi: I care, and so would others, so they won't think you're crazy She smirked. I turned to give her a blank stare and she raised her hands in surrender and signalled we go ahead “ you look......Nice?, Henry greeted as soon we got in Me: what are you doing here? Henry I came to say hi Me: this early? Henry: when better to come say hi to my new friend than now He flicked my nose but I slapped his hand away Mimi: you're still not dead? Mimi turned to him as soon as she saw him Henry: you know, if you like me, all you have to do is say it Mimi: in your dreams shítface Henry: sorry babe, but you're not in my dreams yet He winked, and she scoffed and walked away. He turned back to face me Henry: why do you look like you're bringing the zombie convention to town? Me: none of your business, now go away henry, I'm not in the mood Henry: why, what's going on with you? Me: don't you have something better to do? “ yea, you know like dying a slow painful death somewhere?ridding the world on yourself? Mimi butted in, turning to Henry Henry: one of these days you're gonna realise you feel something for me and admit it Mimi: I'd rather stick a pin through my eye balls Henry: I can't let you go through that pains just for me, plus, sorry babe, but you're not my type He winked and turned to me Henry: I have no one else to talk to, since my best bro, well, is not himself lately and wallowing in self pity Mimi: gee, I wonder why She scoffed and went to tend to her work Me: leave me alone Henry I pushed him aside and walked past him “can't get rid of me that easily babe” he called behind me, but I ignored and went on Good morning ma...... Abigail ran to greet me, but stood frozen in front of me as soon as she took in my appearance Henry: see, you scared the poor girl Abigail: no ma.... She defended “its just that you're not looking yourself, not that I'm saying you're not looking nice or anything, she rambled on but I blocked it out as the standing and talking is making me dizzy, I guess the sleepless night is finally taking a toll on me and now Henry's arguing with her about what she thinks “ENOUGH!! I snapped startling them both. Just shut it both of you. I've had it, I know I look hideous and I'm really tired and I felt like my heads gonna explode and my eyes hurt like crazy, and I'm having the craziest week, so I just need one day to be normal, cause nothing's going right for me, my ex is back and it's driving me crazy and my fiancée just dumped me and I just need one freaking day to be normal!! I vented and turned to walk away, when suddenly my view got blurry and I collapsed “oh my Gód, I heard a faint gasp, and felt someone trying to pull me up “ is she okay? “ does she look okay to you? “ we have to take her to the hospital “ nice one genius, as supposed to where, a school? “ oh shut up, he snapped, and I felt him carry me bridal style to what I assume is a car. I heard the door close and ignition kicked in “ hang in there Liz, I heard a faint voice and that was all I remembered......... 3 Likes 1 Share |

I opened my eyes and stared at the white ceiling above me. I didn't have to look beside to know my best friend was beside me holding my hand I looked around and saw that I was connected to a drip. Wow, I neglected my body so much, it took passing out in the café to knock some sense into me I tried sitting up but was immediately pushed back down gently by Mimi Mimi: the doctor said you have to rest “ I'm fine” I mumbled. With my free hand I rubbed my eyes and turned to look at her Mimi: yea, you're so fine you're in the hospital She frowned and nagged “ how are you feeling? Henry came to my side “ been better, I smiled Mimi: you took this way to far Izz, what if something worse had happened Me: I'm fine Mimi, how long have I been out for? Mimi: Eight hours I turned to look out the window and it was getting dark out Me: that long huh? Mimi: yes, that long Henry: she's still in the hospital you know, and you don't have to keep nagging He turned to Mimi, but she just turned to give him a nasty stare Mimi: why are you still here? It's cause of your friend she's in this position, so I don't wanna hear one more word from you Henry raised his hands in surrender and went back to his seat and just then the doctor came in with a nurse “Everything alright in here"? He turned to both Henry and Mimi and they both nodded. He turned to me after the nurse was done removing the drip. He checked for my heartbeat with his stethoscope and nodded Doctor: how are you feeling? Me: pretty good. When can I leave? He smiled “ someone's eager to leave he commented and turned to Mimi, Doctor: she needs food and rest. She was so much worked up and fatigued that her body was in duress and gave up on her “Here” he took a prescription from the nurse and handed over to Mimi Doctor: There are the drugs you need to get her. You can get them in the pharmacy out front Mimi took it and thanked him Mimi: so can she leave now? Doctor: not yet, she still needs the rest, and have to stay for a day Mimi: okay thank you doctor He nodded, smiled at me and left. “ You hear that” Mimi turned to me as soon as the doctor left Me: I heard mom. I rolled my eyes, “This is torture, I muttered turning away from her “Tell me about it” Henry scoffed, I'm not the one sick and I'm already suffocated by her Mimi: one more word from you, I swear, just one more word She glared at Henry, but he just turned to me “ hang in there” he mouthed and we both smiled while Mimi just got up and started walking out Me: where are you going? Mimi: to go get you food and drugs She snapped and banged the door “ she's a keeper” Henry turned to me and we both laughed Seconds later, the door opened and in came George, worry laced in features. He rushed to my side Henry: i'll just give you guys some space I nodded and he left George: Babe I'm so sorry I let this happen Me: it's not your fault George: it is, I shouldn't have gotten mad and left you, I feel terrible. So, I've been thinking, you were right, we should have the wedding sooner He placed his hand on my hair, smoothing it. I tried sitting up, and he helped me Me: you know, I've been thinking too, lying on a hospital bed for eight hours made that possible. And you were right. We do need the break George: what? No, no, I was angry and I shouldn't have said that, I....I.....didn't mean it He stuttered Me: yes you did I held his hand Me: and you were right,we're fighting more often, I'm hiding things from you and it's hurting me.... and you. You deserve better A tear rolled down my cheek and he wiped it off George: but...... Me: I'm not done george, I need to let it all out He stopped and I went on Me: I'm sorry I hit you, I shouldn't have done that and I'm really sorry George: it's fine, and can make this work, okay? I love you Me: I love you too, but I have to let you go. This isn't working out George. I'm sorry George: This is about Evans, isn't it? He got up to his feet and began pacing Me: No! This is about me, and what's best for us. Our relationship isn't healthy George, can't you see, we have to sort things out ourselves, we need to work out individually. We need this I held his hand and he stopped his pacing, and turned to me George: you're right. We had a good run He bent to kiss my forehead “Goodbye Lizzy, he turned and left and I sobbed silently “I brought food” Mimi walked and announced but saw me my wiping my tears Mimi: are you okay Liz? I just saw George walk out. You okay? She came to sit my my side “ Yea, I nodded........ I'm gonna be okay. Now come on I'm starving 1 Like |

Awww, you guys, thanks so much for the love. So, enjoy...... ~~~~ “ Thank Gód”, I thought he'd never leave Mimi muttered handing me the drugs and food and just then he entered pressing away on his phone Henry: you missed me that much huh? Turning away from his phone, he looked up at Mimi Mimi: yes, I missed you like a dead fish misses the river I took a bite from my food stifling a laugh Henry: babe, we should leave the poor dead fish out of this matter,don't you think so? He smiled and Mimi was turning a dark shade of red and looks like she's about to blow Unable to hold it in any longer, I burst out laughing Me: why do guys hate each other so much? like you've known yourselves before now Mimi: I'm pretty sure I'd want to strangle him too if I had met him before now Henry: (fake gasped holding his chest) you hurt my feelings babe, almost making me wanting to know you before now She scoffed and turned away from him and I just shook my head and went back to my meal, a smile still plastered my face After staying for a while, he got up to leave. Henry: I have to go babe ( he came and kissed me on the forehead). I'll see you later Me: thanks, for everything Henry: don't mention it He winked and turned to Mimi Henry: Bye Miracle Mimi: I hope you get hit by a bus ( she threw him a tight lipped smile) Henry: i'll miss you too He smiled winked at her and left. She scoffed and turned to me after watching him leave, but I crossed my arms on my chest and furrowed my brows Me: do you like him? I gotta admit he's handsome Mimi: what!! Gód No She all but yelled Me: then why do you act that way with him? Mimi: because he's just so....so infuriating, I just want to..... to arrrgh( she raised and dropped her hands as if emphasising her frustration) . How can you stand him? I chuckled, shook my head and fished my phone from my pocket Mimi: what's funny? Me: oh nothing( I shook my head) Mimi: so why did you laugh? Me: did I? ( I caressed my chin as if deep in thought) Can't believe you're acting like him now, she huffed. “I hate you” she muttered, got up and headed to the rest room “ I love you too” I laughed and called out but she scoffed and went on Mimi: Are you sure you'll be okay? She asked for the uptenth time now We decided she should go check on the café, lock up and go home to rest. Well I decided, she just thought I won't be okay on my own Me: yes, I will, now go Mimi: if you need anything, just call, okay? I nodded and she left. After she left, I sighed and lay my head on the pillow. “ what a long day” I muttered, closed my eyes and drifted to sleep The next day, Mimi came to pick me up after my discharge Me: why can't we just go to the café, I'm strong enough and you're treating me like a kid She turned to glare at me Me: I'll just go home and rest She nodded and we headed home. She dropped me off and went to the café. Having nothing to do, I decided to sleep, sleep and sleep and was holding on to that when a knock on the door woke me. I grumbled, got off the bed, groaned and walked sluggishly to get the door “ Hi” he smiled, “ can I come in? I nodded, too stunned to say otherwise and stepped aside as he walked in and I followed behind him Evans: Heard you were in the hospital, how are you feeling? I'm better, I handed him the drink sitting across him on the couch He took a sip and looked at me but looked away and we fell into an awkward silence Well, this is not awkward at all, I decided to break the silence Me: soooooooo Evans: umm right (he dropped the drink). I ummmm......i'm glad you're okay Me: thanks Evans: Look Liz, I'm sorry about my outburst in my office Me: it's fine, and I'm sorry too Evans: and I'm really sorry Me: you already said that Evans: I meant about eight years ago, I should have told you and I'm really sorry Me: that's all I wanted to hear. Sorry I wasn't the best girlfriend Evans: you were to me He smiled at me and I did same Evans: okay, so I know I can't turn back the clock, but I'm willing to start over as friends if you'd let me Me: I'd love that (I chuckled) “ Hi, I'm Evans he stretched his hand for a shake “ I'm Lizzy, I took his hand, it's nice to meet you I smiled Evans: So, you own a café huh? Me: And you own a ginormous firm? Toché, he laughed, and we chatted, the sleep now long gone.......This isn't gonna be too bad, I thought to myself 3 Likes |

I entered the café that morning feeling on top of the world with Mimi tailing behind Memories of last night came flooding and I didn't even realise I was smiling Mimi: okay this has got to stop (she came to stand in front of me. What is up with with you? You've been wearing that goofy smile ever since we left the house this morning. Did something happen with George (she winked and smiled) Me: George? ( I smiled) I don't know what you're talking about I walked in and went straight to go to tend to my work Mimi: you're hiding something and i'll soon find out what She called after me, but I smiled shook my head and went on my way Abigail: good morning ma Miriam: good morning ma They both chorused. “morning” how is it going? Abigail: good ma Me: okay, I'll go check on the baking. Go on with what you're doing They nodded and left. After checking on it, the place was open for business and customers started trooping in and out. Everything was going as usual until Henry arrived Mimi: yay, dípshit is back(she said sarcastically and rolled her eyes) Me: be nice Mimi: I am being nice Me: whatever I rolled my eyes and went to greet him but stopped when I saw who he came in with They walked up to me Henry: Hi babe Me: Hi yourself, I see you brought your friend ( I smiled) Henry: okay, I know you both are not on good terms, but at least try to...... He paused when he saw us both smiling at ourselves Evans: Hi Lizzy Me: Hey Evans Henry: hold on, I'm I missing something here? Mimi: that is what I'd love to know too I turned to see Mimi with furrowed brows Mimi: what's going on, are you too ( she gestured between Evans and i) Me: no, no, we talked and decided to put it all behind us and be just friends (I turned to him and smiled) Evans: yea, just friends He looked at me and smiled Henry: Right, well we better sit then Me: of course, what would you guys have? Henry: gimme something sweet babe( he winked) Evans: (turned to look at his friend then back at me) I'll just have coffee and a sandwich, thanks Coming right up, I nodded and turned to go get their order but was stopped by Mimi who was staring down at me squinting as if trying to figure out something Mimi: you're smiling Me: is it wrong to smile at customers? Mimi: you know what I mean Me: nope, I don't ( I smiled and went to get their orders) “here” I placed their orders on the table and sat across them. Mimi came and joined us Evans: I see you guys have met Henry Mimi: freak (she turned to henry) Henry: babe (he smiled at her Evans turned to look at his friend Evans: oh, she loves me but I don't feel that way about her Mimi: I'm not that crazy ásshole Henry: it's okay babe, I understand (he winked) I smiled and shook my head Me: so, how did you guys become friends anyway? Henry: our mothers are friends, so we became close right from childhood Evans: and he followed me when I was flown out Henry: he can't live without me Evans: are you sure? Cause I'm pretty sure you're parents pushed you out, since I'm not gonna be around and you're a nuisance Mimi turned to me and burst into laughter Me: okay, so I get you're the CEO of that ( I pointed across to the firm) what do you do? I turned to Henry Henry: just this and that Evans: He's a doctor, a very good one actually, owns a very big hospital too Me: wow Mimi: so,you're actually useful? Me: why, ready to admit your feelings now? Mimi: not in this life time, just assumed you are a bum. We were still chatting and laughing when suddenly we heard a shriek, we turned to the direction of the noise and saw two beautiful girls smiling at us “Evans!! One of the girls ran towards us and hugged him........ 3 Likes |

Mimi and I both turned to look at each other then back to watch the Indian movie scene going on before us “ I've been looking all over for you, the one hugging Evans left him and started whining, why haven't you visited since you came? I've been busy, sorry I didn't come to you to see you Evans smiled at her “ Apology accepted she chipped happily and started giggling like a school girl in front of her crush “Hi Henry” the other girl smiled at him and I am a girl but even I gotta admit she is beautiful. And almost immediately Henry started fidgeting in his seat “Hi....hi princess, he stuttered Princess? I mouthed turning to Mimi who was staring at Princess with mix of anger and constipation on her facials. I smiled enjoying the scene before Princess: you forgot me (she went to sit close to him) Henry: I can never forget you you know that She smiled and turned to Evans. “so what are you you guys doing here? And who are they? She turned to smile at us, (a genuine smile) making the look on Mimi's face became even funnier Evans: this is Lizzy (I smiled and waved) and this is Miracle (she gave a tight lipped smile). They are friends and she owns the place( he pointed at me) Princess: This Stephanie (she pointed to the other girl who waved an smiled) and I'm princess ( she extended her hand for a hand shake) I shook her hands, and turned to Mimi but she had already gotten up and was walking away Princess: Is she okay? Me: yea, I'll just go check on her I got up smiled and and went up to Mimi who was busy cleaning an invincible dust from the counter Me: what was that about? Mimi: what was what about? (not looking away from her cleaning) Me: she's beautiful Mimi: I guess, they both are Me: is that jealousy I hear?( I grinned, enjoying this way too much) Mimi: jealous? (she scoffed, why will I be jealous She finally dropped her rag and turned to me. If anyone should be jealous it should be you see the way she's sticking to him like glue We turned to look at the the group Me: why would I be jealous? ( I shrugged) we're just friends I turned to go check on Abigail who looks like she needs help Mimi: keep telling yourself that (she snickered) After a while the group got up and decided to leave. They said their goodbyes, with stephanie still clinging unto Evans. It kinda stung a little to see them smiling, walking hand in hand, but we're just friends, so I guess I'll have to get used to it Henry and princess also walked out holding hands, chatting and smiling. I turned to look at Mimi but she looked away The days rolled by and days turn to weeks. My friendship with Evans was going great, he comes to visit,and sometimes Princess and stephanie came along with them. I gotta admit they're good company Henry and Mimi seemed distant though, they didn't bicker like they always did whenever they see each other. I guess seeing the girl he likes made him more mature I thought “ Hi Lizzy" stephanie ran to hug me Me: Hi I turned to see the rest of the group were coming from behind Princess: Hi Lizzy She greeted when they were all sat. Princess: where's Mimi? I don't see her around Me: she's in with the baker, learning some stuff Princess: oh (she smiled) And just then Mimi walked in Mimi: Hey guys She greeted, and they all replied, except Henry who just nodded and looked away OK weird, I thought and she noticed too Mimi: I'm just gonna go She turned and started walking out but was held back by Stephanie Stephanie: but you just got here, are you okay? Mimi: yea, just gonna go check on something Stephanie nodded and let go of her and she walked away. I'll go get your orders, I got up and also left them While my girls where tending to their orders, I excused my self and went out back to check on something but stopped when I saw Mimi her back facing me, and it seems she had company. I decided to go closer to check on her but stopped when I saw who she was with. They seemed like they were arguing about something and we're to absorbed in it to notice my presence. Not wanting to spy on them any further, I decided to walk away when suddenly Henry pulled her closer and planted his lips on hers........ |

There I stood, to stunned to walk away. Why I'm still standing looking at them is a mystery cause I so much want to move but my feet isn't getting the idea After what felt like hours(when it was merely seconds) Mimi pushed him away, slapped him on the cheek and ran off, accidentally brushing me in the process without even stopping to check on me, but I saw her eyes glassy with unshed tears After composing myself, I looked up to Henry standing there, the feeling of guilt showing visibly in his features. He looked back at me and we both stood there waiting for someone to break the akwardness “ I....i.... I'm just gonna go..... I stuttered and pointed but he still stood rooted on the spot and he still didn't say anything I later turned and walked away feeling sorry for both of them. Must be hard.... I got into the café And saw the group still chatting Princess: hey Lizzy, have you seen Henry, he's been gone a while Me: errrrr.....yea, yea I think he was out back or something And just then Henry walked in and took a sit close to Princess She threw him a “everything alright frown” and he nodded and he munched on his now cold burger Me: guys? (they all turned to look at me) have you guys seen Mimi? Can't find her around Princess: she came in and walked out Stephanie: rather urgently I'd say, she didn't even look at us (she whined) Okay, it's so hard to hate this girl, she's just so adorable (for a grown up) Princess: Is she okay? Me: yea, she's just not feeling too good Stephanie: oh my gosh! Is she gonna be okay? Does she need to go to the hospital? Me: no, no she's gonna be fine, she just needs the rest is all (i waved it of) They nodded, and Evans's phone broke the silence that suddenly erupted. He got up, excused himself, and went to answer it Stephanie broke the silence and we all went back to talking while Henry remained silent throughout our conversations, even when I tried to look at him, he avoided my gaze. Evans walked in minutes later Evans: That's was the office guys, they need me, I've gotta go Me: oh, alright Princess: we have to go too She got up and Henry and stephanie followed suit. They said their goodbyes and left I tried calling Mimi but she wasn't answering, I called over and over but still no reply. Suddenly I got worried, maybe something had happened to her, or maybe she had done something to herself. Ready to go out and search for her, my phoned beeped indicating a text. I opened it and it read.... ~~i know you're worried, but I'm fine, I'm just gonna rest at home~~ It was from her. I read it a bit relieved but still worried about her I went home, at the end of the day and saw Mimi draped on her bed Me: Hey, you okay? Mimi: yea Me: wanna talk about it? Mimi: No (she sniffled) Me: are you crying? I pulled down the blanket covering her and saw her in tears Mimi: I'm fine Me: no you're not Mimi: I like him okay, is that what you wanna hear(she heaved herself up and sat on the bed) Me: I'm sorry Mimi: I'm so stupid, how can I like someone that already has a girlfriend he really likes and is serious with (more tears rolled down her cheeks) and she's really beautiful and very nice and I can't even hate her even if I wanted to Me: hey you're not stupid ( I wiped the tears with my palm) we can't control who we like, it's human nature Mimi: I know, but it's just so....so.... hard (she breathed out) and why did he kiss me? She turned to me Me: I wouldn't know. (I shook my head) I think you should talk to him Mimi: no way (she got down from the bed) I don't wanna see him again, I can't face him Me: but Mimi..... Mimi: no but Liz, I'm serious and don't try to convince me otherwise Me: alright fine, (I raised my hands in surrender) She got back into bed and covered herself Me: aren't you at least gonna eat something? Mimi: I'm not hungry ( she peeked her head out from the blanket) don't worry I'll be fine in the morning. I'm just gonna rest I nodded and she went back to being draped. I sighed and got up to leave her room. My best friend is having a hard time and I don't have the slighest idea on how to help. Why is love always so hard? I thought as I left her room........ 3 Likes |

True to her words, Mimi was better in the morning, although there were traces of sadness in her features Mimi: so I was thinking, Me: yea? Mimi: we've not done something together, just the two of us, for a long time now Me: and? Mimi: how about we go out, go shopping or to the beach, anywhere at all Me: we've got the café to take care of Mimi Mimi: I know, but it's Saturday, plus I'm pretty sure the place is practically gonna be empty I raised my brow as if she just spoke in alien language Mimi: okay fine, it's gonna be packed, but you've got Abigail and Co. Which means the café is in capable hands Me: alright fine, but once we're done with your outing, we're going to straight to the café Mimi: yes ma'am, (she fake saluted and giggled) Me: you're a weird one, you know that? Mimi: I do we laughed and then there was a ringing from my phone. I picked it up and smiled when I saw the caller id Me: hi you “who's that? Mimi mouthed “stephanie” I did same Stephanie: please tell me you aren't occupied and you can make it. Is Mimi there with you, is she busy? Me: whoa! Easy there, what's going on? Stephanie: I'm in a mess right now and I need both your help Me: where are you?...... Mimi and I left for the place stephanie directed and now we're standing in front of a huge fashion house Mimi: remind me what we're doing here again Me: I don't know (I shrugged). Come on let's go in We went in and was stopped by a lady behind a counter Lady: excuse me? (she smiled at us) how may I help you Me: were here to see stephanie Lady: okay, do you have an appointment? Me: no, we don't, but she's expecting us, she told us to come he...... I was cut off by a shrieking stephanie Stephanie: don't worry, they're with me She told the lady,(who smiled and nodded) and then she turned back to us leading us in Me: okay, you've got to stop doing that, are you trying to make us deaf? Stephanie: sorry, I was just so glad you guys could make it Me: no problem. Nice place by the way, you work here? Stephanie: (smiling) I own here Mimi: like a designer? Or something? Stephanie: yea “What”?? Mimi and I both chorused, shocked at the revelation Stephanie: you didn't know I'm a designer? Me: no, (I shook my head) Stephanie: but I always talk about clothes and stuff, how could you not tell Me: sorry, I just thought you are really passionate about clothing Mimi nodded in agreement Stephanie: well, I'm a designer and I own this place and I have a serious problem and you guys are my last and only hope Mimi and I turned to look at each other and back to her She took us up to her office and then to the dressing room and boy was I amazed. Mimi also was wearing same look on her face. The clothes are beautiful and the people in here a very fashionable and the place is amazing. I can't believe there's such a place like this, then again I don't go out much, so..... Mimi: so, let me get this straight, you want me to wear this?( pointing at the dress stephanie was holding) Stephanie bobbed her head, with eyes wide open like a doll I had when I was little, which made me laugh whenever I played with it, and seeing her doing that is making me wanna laugh but the seriousness in her face told me better Mimi: are you been serious right now Stephanie: very Mimi: why can't your models do it? Stephanie: I'm short of one model, she had an accident on her way here, broke her leg and it's last minute and can't get another model. The fashion show's tonight and you're my only hope. Pleasssssssse(she begged) Me: fashion show? Stephanie: yea, and it's gonna be huge, I have a long guest list and can't disappoint Mimi: but......but.....(she turned to look at me) Me: hey don't look at me, my boobs and bum won't fit into that(i pointed at the dress) Stephanie: please Mimi(she whined) Mimi: okay fine (she breathed out) but if it's too tight, I'm tearing it off Stephanie: hey, it's a master piece it took me four months to make that (she whined) I giggled at the thought of Mimi wearing that Me: you're gonna look like those model in magazines( I joked) Mimi: are you sure you don't have something for her to model( she turned to stephanie) Me: (the smile on my face dropped immediately) you don't right?(I turned to stephanie) Stephanie: relax Liz, you should see your face ********** After speaking to my girls, I went back to the dressing room to see Mimi and wow, she looked beautiful. I know she's my best friend and we live in same house and all, but seeing her in that dress with make up on, she looked amazing. Growing up, she was all about looking good and wearing good clothes and she made sure I did same(although it was never my forte, a T Shirt and Jean is okay for me)but as we grew up, I guess she grew out of it too, because she didn't care anymore Me: you look beautiful Mimi: you think so? Me: of course Mimi: thank you Minutes later,stephanie walked in and had the same reaction I had earlier and turned to me, “you're turn” she said and started pulling me in. Me: where are we going? Stephanie: to get you changed Me: isn't what I'm wearing okay(i looked at the top and Jean I was wearing) Stephanie: you're kidding right? Me: fine, but I better be able to breath and walk in whatever you're going to make me wear Stephanie: I'm making no promises Soon it was time for the fashion show, and the place was packed. Stephanie led me to the hall and left me to mingle while she went to tend to business, but knowing myself the chances of that happening was zero. I stood there, a champagne in one hand and a clutch in other when I heard my name. I turned around and saw Princess together with Henry and she looked stunning and Henry looked dashing in his tux Princess: you look beautiful (she hugged me) Me: thanks, so do you Henry: wow, you look amazing(he said to me) Me: why thank you Henry, and you look dapper Henry: I try (he winked) I smiled, glad the old Henry is back Me: what? You couldn't leave your ego at home Henry: sorry babe, we're a package deal “Hi” I turned around to see who but felt my breath caught in my throat. Wow, he looked so handsome I couldn't help but drool. A clear of the throat snapped me back to reality I turned to see Henry smirking. “ can we go now, it's about to begin” his smirk grew wider Errrrr, yea, of course, my face heating up from embarrassment and we turned to enter. I can't believe I did that “Don't worry, he didn't notice cause he had the same look on his face too" Princess winked and walked in leaving me alone with a goofy grin plastered on my face It was a front row seat, so I sat in between Evans and Henry and princess sat on the left hand side of Henry “Where is Mimi anyway? Princess asked as soon as we sat. I shrugged and smiled and immediately the lights got dimmed indicating the start of the show cutting her off from any other question she was about to ask Stephanie came up to the stage and there rounds of applause. She gave a little speech and left the stage making way for the models, and in they came with beautiful dresses and applause resounding from the audience Soon later, stephanie came back on stage Stephanie: and now ladies and gentlemen, for my latest master piece I present to you...... And in came Mimi and the crowd went wild, there were applauses and standing ovations and I felt Henry tense up, as soon as she came up, I turned to look at him and his eyes where affixed on Mimi...... 3 Likes |
