What was more weirder than seating across the table with your husband stepmother's who seemed to hate the shit out of you,Arya fiddled with the needles, gazing at the middle-aged woman who suppressed a snort at her direction, she wrapped the bundle of cloth to her lap and gazed at the needles in her hand, Damn needle work."Barbara?" The voice slits Arya's throat like vomit, it was weird, and it certainly did not feel good as Arya called out her name."What?" The middle aged woman had snapped at her. The gentle breeze of the day flashed through the curtains and down unto her scattered hair, it made her skin feel a little tampered.Arya peered at nothing in particular, and massaged her crinkled skin, before she focused back on the needle work, honestly, she had never expected herself in this type of existence. Needle work with her husband's mother, because it was a norm for the Brookes on a Tuesday afternoons?Damn her fresh Tuesdays now, normally, she was always out with her friends,
Imperial Restaurant,2:45pm.Clara passed the lobsters down to Anna's plate. "There you go, I know you are hungry, just have some more meat." Clara smiled, her gaze low.Anna stared at her, snorted internally, but in reality, she coughed out a faint smile, before picking up the cutlery, with a mouthful of meat, she asked. "Clara. How is Arya? Have you heard about her?"Clara stared elsewhere, her heart beating furiously, she didn't want to say it in fear of annoying Anna, but it all sounded weird, the facade sounded weird, ever since she fired Arya, she hadn't felt the least at peace of mind. She felt like she had did something wrong, she had dishonoured their friendship for so much long.She was light-headed, so she only rubbed the hemline of her forehead, "I don't feel so good about what we did to Arya."Anna's eyes glistened with fury. "What are you saying?"In an attempt not to hurt her best friend, Clara kept shut and focused on her food. "It's okay."Anna rolled her eyes, before
Awestruck that some one had dared slapped her right across the cheek, made her face dampen a bit, and she gazed up, her eyes burning with tears.Kelvin hovered across her, his chest heaving up in panic, he gazed at his hands at what he had just done, and her, he felt guilty after slapping her.Everyone froze for a bit, and their eyes glanced over to the two people in particular; Kelvin and Arya.Arya's gaze was sickening, but she wanted to shrink, the tears stinked around her eyes, and she so badly wanted to cry, but she choked them back in, and gazed around, without emitting a word."Dammit." Emma raised her hands, and in the next second, her hands flew over to Kelvin's face, the sting of her nails leaving a mark on his face. "How dare you slap my friend?" Her face was rigid, emitting anger, before she slapped him again, moving towards him deathly, her eyes flashing with unseen emotions as she walked closer.He stepped back a bit, surprised by his own hands, he had slapped his ex, he
Hell, Arya was supposed to be crying, pulling her hair and yanking it apart, but she wasn't. She had cried all day, locked her self up in her room- clearly Devon's room, but technically, they were faking marriage, hell, she didn't even care if that word existed.Her eye lids was shining red, her eyes flicking around the room, she wasn't in the mood, but her mind was concentrated on the ticking of the clock, so much, she thought it would make her feel better. But it didn't. The ticking had affected her brain, it brought the creeps to her heart, and it certainly affected her way of thinking, because all she did now was stare dazly at the wall.She flipped over from the side of the bed, sniffing again, her coloured dimming blonde hair was yanked across her face, and her lips puckered once in a bit. She lied on the bed, her head resting on the pillow, her face was bland, no emotions, sick, her eyes had lost its colour, and she thought whether she would be sick.Her eyes stared around, but
Why would he ask such question?Was he happy for her life? Was he concerned? Hell, she didn't wanted him to. He should just leave her alone, why was he so concerned about the way she lived?"It's a long story." She laughed slowly, even though it ended up being rigid, "Long story short, somethings happen." Nervous, her voice reeked of tiredness.He didn't believed that, who would have believed that anyway? That cheap piece of lie. "Tell me, Arya." He stared at her, but his eyes, those silver gentle eyes tickled over her body gently, and she knew instantly.He did care. Devon Brookes freakin' cared if she was crying or not."It's the guy, Kelvin Lere. You know him?" He nodded his head. "It hasn't been going well with his wife and I, and sometimes, he intervenes and say really hurtful words." She was tired, she hated talking about Kelvin or Anna, they brought that familiar disgust to her stomach, the feeling that told her everytime she wasn't over him.'Useless.''Fake.' They never fail
Arya kept her hand plastered on the plates, trying her best to whish it apart, her hands held the whisk, before she gently whisked the eggs. Layers of sweat trickled down her gentle hair down unto her jaw. Like a pro chef- in which she wasn't. She wiped away the strand of the sweat, letting the tiny droplet of sweat trickle along the counter.Gently, she placed the bowl on the table, before she grabbed the bottle of milk, emptying it into the whole bowl. Yep. Brownies, since when had she last cooked? This was absurd, she had lost the manner of the ingredients."Arya. Really?" Colin stood afar from the kitchen, his hands placed around his hips, his voice was hoarse. "Why are you making brownies?"She turned to look towards her brother, casting him a dark look, for the last few days, she had been doubting herself, trying to find her true purpose in life, and here she was. At her parents house, making brownies, without an apron."Where's Mother?" She found herself asking, "She's out," C
Centered around the tiny table, seated on the chair was Arya, her brother, Colin and her elder sister, Samantha.Their faces was all smiles, Arya pushed the plate of dumplings, taking a gentle bite. "Sam, what's been up in Japan?"Samantha, her elder sister, wrinkled her nose gently, before stretching her arms, the dark light illuminated gently under the lamp, one that reflected the gentle morning, "I just arrived, tired and hopeless, and you guys suggest I eat dumplings?""That's what Brina always says," He smiled gently, who in the hell would take advise from his female best friend?"Whatever." She sprawled her feet together, adjusting on the floor. It was the best norm , eating like this on the floor.Colin's eyes widened, "Oh my freaking goodness. My game," He was on his feet immediately, "I have to get back to my game." He dashed upstairs immediately.They were alone, Arya freaked out internally, she was torn between saying the truth now, or.. Or just what?"Sam. We need to talk.
In the next minute, he was closer, his finger coursing through her cheek gently, his eyes moved over to the figure that sprawled on the floor and he let out a brief scoff, before focusing back on her."Arya." The way he pronounced her name, something fluttery jumped out of her stomach, she stared back at him, her eyes moistening with tears. Somehow, she still reeked of alcohol, but he didn't even seem to care one bit.To her surprise, he didn't ask her what she was doing here like other guys or even how he got here, he didn't even bother to ask any questions, his hands just simply held the back of her neck, before he lifted her up, he walked her out of the bar, the man who sprawled on the floor, still cursing under his breath."Just you wait! You dare to disgrace me! Your life is over!" If only he knew, he was messing with the demi-god of business himself.***"What in the hell?" Barbara frowned deeply before muttering something under her breath, she gazed back at the figure who bowed
