Thirty eight: Again?
"And it's…" Jerome began explaining all that had happened between Jamie and him, but I literally trailed off, though I was still staring at him. He was seated on the couch opposite me, the small, love-shaped glass table separating us.
All that ran in my head was the thought of why Louella had pecked me. I understood that she had been emotional at the time, but the Louella I knew, wouldn't just kiss anyone. She was too mean to do that. Wait, did she like me?
"Oh my gosh," that involuntarily slipped from my lips in a whisper.
"You're okay?" Jerome snapped me off my thoughts.
I blinked about five. "O-Oh yeah. I'm good. So, did you tell Erin about it?"
"Tell Erin?" He dropped his jaw. After staring blankly at me for a while, he lowered his eyebrows. "Wait, have you been listening to me? I was talking about Jamie, not Erin. Erin's got nothing to do with all th

I had gotten a text from the police officer I usually spoke with, while helping Erin to pack her last set of boxes into the trunk of her car. The officer had said he needed to see me, but because of my, I would say, date with Seth, I wasn't going to be able to see the officer. He had told me that the police had found a clearer footage of the parking lot, from the night I had had an accident.Also, I didn't want to see the officer because, if I got to find out that it was Becca and Jan who had planned the accident, I would be quite sad. I didn't want my night to get ruined. I just wanted to have a nice dinner with Seth.I sighed, and pushed the last big box into the trunk of Erin's car. Done with that, I slammed the door of the trunk, turned to her. She was smiling, which was quite weird."Why didn't you ask your men to do it? It's weird to see you do something like this," she said.

My reputation, or my feelings?My reputation, or my feelings?That question rang in my head like a jingling bell. I knew I had made a conclusion to tell him about my feelings, but seriously, I was still Louella. What if I told him about it, and he said he didn't like me? Wouldn't that ruin my reputation?Sonya raised a brow at me. "A reason for that? Babe, this man's not even yours.""We're engaged." I lingered my hand in the air, showing her the ring from our fake proposal.She threw her head back, burst out laughing, her laugh sounding like some kind of infected rabbit which was crying. "Gosh, you're silly. Do you think I'm not aware of that shit? I know it's a fake proposal."I turned to Seth. So he had told her that? I had thought we had made a deal to not tell anyone that our engagement was fake. The reason we had made the deal was because the fake

I looked away first. Keeping my hands in the pocket of my jacket, I sauntered towards her, and sat in the space beside her. I knew she still had her eyes on me, so I didn't attempt to look at her. I only looked up at the sky."When will these rainy days end?" I started a conversation with her."Hey, don't divert from the topic. I asked you why you're here," she blurted out.I turned to her. "You think I'm joking? I said to make you mine."She scoffed. "Pi-lease, just shut up. If you know you don't have anything to say, leave.""Okay. But first, I need us to emphasize on why you pecked me that night." I leaned into my seat, crossed my legs over each other, glued my eyes to her.Suddenly, she spotted something on her shirt, and paid attention to that. "Cause, I was… being emotional.""Really? Is that the reaso

One thing I didn't know how to do was to swim. And here was Louella, probably drowning already. What would I do now? Just as Louella was trying to save herself from the water, I was also trying to save myself. Or save us."Someone help!" She cried, her voice shaky as she gasped for air.I tried grasping her arm, but was scared I would make us drown. How would I help her now? I also needed help.Okay. This was it. I was also going to scream. Maybe if our voices were loud enough, someone would come and help us out.Helpless, I screamed too, "Help! Somebody help!"Was keeping my ego better than risking my life? Surely not. But this was extremely embarrassing.Louella••••••••••I really hated being in water. I was good at

I wasn't comfortable with Harold having to stalk me this much, but well, he had a point. He had said he had done that because he really needed my and Seth's relationship to grow with so much love. He had said he wanted us to spend some time with each other. He had a point, but if I went to London, what would happen to my work?Seth glared at himself, obviously flustered. I rolled my eyes at his childish behavior, and sighed. There was no point in him being angry at his dad. The old man only wanted to help us grow.But, there was one thing that had been creeping in my head since Harold had spoken. He had said that he knew his son could hardly be committed to one woman, which was why he wanted Seth to get used to me. To be honest, that statement had been bothering me. It was kind of giving me some doubts. Like, what if Seth was doing all this to get something from me? I knew I should trust him, but those who I had trusted in the pa
BILLIONAIRES Forty four: Adventure.
It had been over a year since I had come to London. I knew it had always been a beautiful place, but it felt so much beautiful this time around. The roads suspended a lot of cars, though this was only past six in the morning. It was as if everyone had somewhere to go before the sun rose. This was such a beautiful view from the balcony of my hotel room.I sighed and smiled. But, the thought of Becca, dad and Jan, dashed into my head, literally pulling off the smile on my lips. Now that I wasn't in New York, what was the crazy thing they could do? What if they tried to harm my hard work? Anyways, Erin was over there. I trusted her. And yeah, she knew how to deal with those morons.Reflecting back to all Seth had said at the airport, I squeezed my face. That dude was crazy. But well, I missed him.I had woken up by five, had gotten dressed in a casual black, knee length dress, had slipped on white sandals, had a

Erin•••••I didn't know work could be this hard. When Louella had told me to manage everything around here, I had thought it wouldn't be a big deal. But no, it was more than being a big deal! What was I going to do now?My phone beeped from where it laid. Taking it, I sulked at myself when I saw it was a text from my therapist. Like the frustrated person I was, I dropped the phone, propped my elbows on the table, ran my fingers into my hair."Ugh!" I groaned.This was so annoying. Why did my camping have to be today? Louella had been around all along, but the camping hadn't been available. Now that I was the only one left here, the camping date had to be today. Rachel wasn't around as well.I took my phone, debating with myself on whether or not to tell my therapist to wipe my name off the campers' list. About doing that, I

I burst out laughing, ate the last piece of my meat, as I stared at Seth. I didn't know he was this hilarious."You're gonna make my stomach burst." I threw my head back, holding my bellyHe chuckled. "That's how it works, okay? Don't mind me."Done eating, I wiped off the little stain of meat spice on my lips, sighed. I gestured to the old woman who owned this restaurant to come to us, and she did so. For some reason, as she walked towards us, her eyes narrowed at me. What now?"Hey, my dear." She began packing up the empty plates on the well furnished table in front of us. I liked her English accent. "How're you doing?""I'm fine," I responded, quite uncomfortable.She smiled. "I think you've got it wrong. I mean, not like you've done anything bad. But see, your shirt says "like charges attract". I'm an illiterate, but my daughter in colle
