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

"Thanks for shopping here." I smiled at the old woman who stood by the other side of the counter, then gave her her change. "If you don't mind, leave a review on our website. The website's name is attached to the bag.""Oh, sure." She smiled. She twirled around, and slowly walked out of the store.I glimpsed at my wrist watch, and sighed. It was six already, which meant I had an hour left to work here. Grabbing the paper in front of me, I sighed for a second time. Skimming through it, the thought of my argument with Ryan came racing in my head.Just last night, I had realized something. Since a month ago, my attraction towards Ryan wasn't normal. It felt so much like I was feeling something for him. Yes, I'd admit, I kind of liked him. But, the thing was, no matter what, I wouldn't tell him about my feelings. I really didn't know what he wanted. People liked him tended to be untrustworthy. What if he was plan

"Serene!" Ryan cried. I could sense him running towards me. It wasn't just him. All of them were. Gosh, what now?I ensured I remained motionless. I wasn't going to stand up. This was the best way to prevent a commotion from happening."Serene!" Ryan held me up, shook my body, but of course, there was no response from me. "What's wrong with you? Hey, get me some water! Hurry up!"Gosh, no! Water? How come I hadn't thought about that shit? He was going to ruin this!I peeked at him by opening my left eye. Unluckily for me, Raymond caught me. I quickly shut my eye, cursing myself for opening it. What if he had seen me? Gosh, what had I done?!I swallowed, and just kept pretending.Ryan soothed my hair. Of course, Raymond and Ralph would be so jealous. But, I was glad to know that Ryan was the one who was holding me. I was more comfortable around him

I whimpered. They were getting so violent. Violent to the point a lot of people started to gather around us. I felt weak, unaware of what to do. Who could I speak with? Raymond or Ryan?Ryan seemed even more angry. He pulled Raymond close, hit him about two times. Raymond's face was already swollen. It looked like a big, fat, red balloon. I felt very terrible, knowing that all this was nothing but my fault."Stop, please," was all I could say. My voice was really low, so of course, I wasn't expecting them to listen to me."How dare you touch her?" He slapped Raymond on the face. A couple of people gasped, which made me even more fearful."Serene, do something about this." One of my old co-workers, Tanya, walked to me, sounding so worried. "Get Mr. Arthur out of here. This is stupid. If this fight continues, the police will arrive. Also, there's a probability that the media will arrive as

Anytime I saw the characters in movies staring at each other for too long, I always felt the need to hit a hammer against their heads, which would probably make them understand that staring at each other for a long time was crazy and not so romantic. Not for once would I have thought I would be staring at a man for more than thirty seconds.I crossed my fingers, trying as much as possible to ignore the heaviness and hard thumps in my heart. I just needed this dream to end. But, that didn't seem to be working. This was reality. Ryan had just said he liked me?Wait, what? Sweet Jesus!Praise, Vicki, Tracie, mom and dad, had said that he always came to visit me, only because he liked me. But no, they were wrong. He didn't like me. He had said he loved me!I had thought I wasn't his type. So, how could he like me? How? When? Where? And wait, me? The middle class chic? Okay, I woul

I took my purse from the selling counter in front of me, ready to head home. Taking a glimpse at Kenneth, I smiled a little, admiring how cute he looked, though he seemed pretty upset."You're okay?" I asked him, fixing my gaze at him.He let out a sigh, as he leaned his elbow over the counter, then looked at me. "Y-Yeah. I think I am.""You think?" I quirked a brow at him.He looked away, staring at the fez cap which lay on the counter. Being observant, I felt like he had been avoiding me all day. First, for some reason, he wasn't looking me in the eye. Second, he wasn't beaming as usual, and was only uttering little words, as if he was paying for every word he mentioned."You've been acting weird," I marked out.He laughed weirdly. "Weird? What do you mean?"I stepped close to him. "Kenneth, you've be

I froze like a Turkey, wondering what was going on. For a second time, he pecked me. And, I couldn't help but flinch. What was with this man?"Ryan!" I cried in a whisper."What? You don't like my lips?" He teased.I turned to Ralph. For some reason, he scrunched his face as if he was irritated. "Wait, you've got a boyfriend?" He inquired.I laughed weirdly. "N-No. He's just—""You're not gonna deny me, right?" Ryan cut me off. "Why are you pretending? Just tell him about us, okay?""Ryan, are you—""Hey there." He pulled away from me. He walked to Ralph, and faced him. "Hope you're good? Nice to see you with my girl. Well, it's good that you aren't up to something.""Excuse me?" Ralph cocked a brow at him.Ryan chortled. "Sorry if I seem rude. Anyway, it was ni

Kenneth really wasn't being himself recently. After the night he and Marsha had had an argument, he had been acting so weird. I needed to know what was going on in his mind, but that didn't seem to be possible. Anytime I wanted to speak with him, he'd ignore me. This was kind of upsetting."Serene, I think I'll be leaving now." He dropped a few papers on the counter. Taking his small, leather backpack from the stool beside the counter, he slung it over his shoulder, and sighed. "Will catch up with you tomorrow. Have a good night."As he was about to leave, I stopped him, "Kenneth, wait," I said."Hm?" He turned around, his eyebrows raised at me.I walked to him, and sighed when I stood in front of him. "Guess I'll have to ask the same question over again. What's going on with you?""It's fine." He glimpsed at the floor, giving me a small smile. "I'm fine. Really

I was so puzzled, and had no idea of where to run to. I didn't want to disturb the neighborhood, but what could I do? As I ran with so much intensity, that was when my legs decided to trip against each other. I gasped, and fell to the floor like a dead leaf.Panting, I managed to sit up. I turned around to face the dogs, shaking my head at them. "Please! Don't harm me!" I cried.Of course, they didn't listen to me. They just ran towards me, and jumped over my body."Ah!" I cried. Closing my eyes, I lay on the floor, praying for a miracle to happen.What were they gonna eat first? My hair? My hands? My legs? My boobs? Or my butt?I tightened my fist, tightened my eyes. About saying my last prayer, I felt something lick the skin of my face. Dazed, I opened my eyes widely. To my surprise, the dogs were caressing my skin with their tongues. Wait, what? Okay, first,
