"Did you blush?" Praise asked, as she dropped the last plate of corn dogs she and her husband, Daniel, had just made, on the dining table.
I rolled my eyes, huffed. "Of course not. Why would I blush? He's my boss, remember? Fine, we spoke for a long time, but I couldn't possibly fall for him in only a few hours."
Tracie chuckled as she slurped her burnt ends. "You're such a weirdo. My husband and I were friends for two years. I fell for him in a second. I mean, it's a particular moment you discover your love for someone."
"True," Praise contributed. She joined us on the dining table, took a deep breath when she settled to sit. I passed the plate of corn dogs over to her, and she grabbed one of them. "Well, my love story is… pretty boring. But, um, Tracie's right."
I giggled. "Boring?"
Daniel cleared his throat as he dropped the jug of orange juice on the table, givin

I balled my hands up in a fist. I was so devastated.As soon as the video stopped playing, the workers leaned close to one another, blabbing like jobless idiots. The female workers who obviously didn't like me for some unknown reason, were smirking at me, seeming quite happy for my predicament. Who could have done this? Mr. Shawn?I turned back to him, swallowing my tears. "MrShawn, who filmed that? Where in the world did you get it from? Huh?""That should remain confidential." He put his hands behind him, wandering in front of me. "Someone sent it to my office this morning.""The video is false. Mr. Arthur's a witness. Yes, we stumbled against each other last night, but I can assure you that nothing went on between us, and nothing goes on between us. He's just my boss," I explained.He laughed, his laugh sounding quite crafty. "What do you think I am?

I let the tear trickle down my cheek. I couldn't believe he had just said that. I had known he would probably think of firing me, but I truly hadn't expected him to say it."Mr. Shawn." I blinked away my tears, thinking of the next thing to do. Was I to apologize or what? "You can't fire me for a mere thing like this. I mean, we can just talk things out."He tittered, that menacing look creeping to his face. "At this point, I disagree with that. You're leaving. That's my final decision.""Hey, Raymond." Ryan yanked at Mr. Shawn's arm, twirled him around, shooting glares at him. "You can't do this to her. It's crazy. Fine, fire me instead. I'm the one arguing with you, not her, okay?"Mr. Shawn snorted. "My man, you're a blessing to my job. I can't let go of you. So, she has to go.""This is crazy!" Ryan barked. "Is this how to treat a person? Huh? All because she refused to

After washing the dishes in the kitchen's sink, I used a napkin to wipe off the oil stain on the counter, and ensured the kitchen was clean. Grabbing a bottle of water from the fridge, I gulped its content down my throat, threw the empty bottle into the trash can, then made my way out of the kitchen.Getting to the living room, I scanned my eyes around, searching for the rest of my family. Only ten minutes ago, they had been here. Where had they gone to?Leaning into the couch I settled to sit on, I shut my eyes, and sighed. I let the serenity around me manifest into my senses. The room was completely silent, only the sizzling sound of the air conditioner making a faint sound.Suddenly, a sad feeling brushed through me. Here I was, jobless and hopeless. Mom and d

So, well, after debating with myself for a short while, together with Vicki's persuasion, I had agreed to go on a walk with Ryan. However, there was no big deal in walking with him. And, between, it was a good idea. The streets were usually very silent at night, which meant people wouldn't have to see us together. I didn't want anyone from Twinkle Stars to see us, and think there was really a thing between us.Noticing he was in casual denim jeans pants, grey-colored hoodie sweater, and a canvas shoe, I knew he hadn't come here just after he had left the office. Okay, it was time to say something to him. I was tired of biting my lip, feeling shy. My heart had to stop beating this hard."So, you didn't go to work today?" I started, shortly after clearing my throat.He glanced at me, smiled. "I did. Raymond got on my nerves, so I left there by three.""So, who did the work aro

This was really crazy. I was attempting to run out of the bush, yet I hadn't worn my pants.Terrified, I pulled my pants up at all costs, but didn't zip it. I managed to run out of the bush, and luckily for me, I spotted Ryan immediately."What happened?" He asked, fear swimming in his eyes."There's a stupid dog over there! It's chasing me!" I gripped his hand, pulled him, so we would both run away.But then, for some very annoying reason that was unknown to me, he stopped us from running. I snapped my neck to look at him, breathing hard. He was wearing a blank expression, and I really felt like stabbing him at this moment.

Before Praise and Tracie had gotten married, they had promised to never make me feel like an outcast, and had said they would ensure they spent enough time with me no matter what, especially due to the fact that I was now single. Because of their promise, anytime they needed to go on food or cloth shopping, they liked it when all three of us went together."Please, give me enough green pepper," Praise said to the seller behind the food counter.The man smiled. "Done. Just take everything, and make your payment over there." He pointed to another counter behind us.Praise nodded. "Sure. Thanks."Grabbing all the items we had purchased, we walked over there. Behind the counter, there was a plump, red-haired lady, who was probably about 5"7. As her eyes skimmed through the paper in front of her, I couldn't help but notice how big her eyeballs were, together with the intense blue color o

It had been only a week plus since I began working at Stanley's, the grocery store, but it felt like a year. Working for a year in Twinkle Stars hadn't felt this crazy. It wasn't just the workforce that was the problem. This woman, Marsha Jay, was an earthquake in my life.Here she was, firing hard and dangerous scowls at me, only because Kenneth and I were going home together, for the fourth time this week. She was just like Sherri, to be honest. The only difference between them was, Sherri was cuter and richer, and was a hypocrite in a way. But, Marsha was blatant in the purest way. She even complained about Kenneth and I, right in front of the innocent customers who had no interest in her babbles.I rolled my eyes. "Marsha, this is crazy. What makes you think there's a thing between Kenneth and me?"She chortled. "We only broke up about a month ago. There's no doubt that he still likes me. So, why the heck

I hadn't seen Ryan in about three days. He had been quite busy at the office, so I never bothered him in any way. But, the moment he had to visit me, Kenneth was around. I really didn't appreciate the fact that he seemed this protective of me. He claimed that it was because of Raymond's threats, but I didn't believe that. That was far-fetched. There seemed to be something else going on with him. Only if I knew what it was.I sighed. "Good to see you, Ryan. But, I don't think you should care about him. He's a friend from work.""I see…" He twitched his lips sideways, the seriousness in his voice exacerbating. Goodness knew what was going on in his head.Well, I didn't care about whatever he thought of me. And, for goodness' sake, why did he care about who I spoke with? He didn't have to be so nosy in my affairs, right?Kenneth turned to me, smiled warmly. I knew he wasn't comfortabl
