"Wylow! Come here, baby."
I wiped Wylow's mouth that is full of chocolate, Haru gave me an extra tissue.
"Britanny should be the one who is doing that." He said, I threw the used tissue on his face.
"She's busy on preparing the foods."
He sat down at my side while fixing Wylow's hair, "If we ever have a baby, she will be beautiful like you or he will be more handsome than me?"
I pushed him with all my strength, "Stop that nonsense. I didn't even give you a permission to court me again."
"I can court you in bed," he said while twitching his eyebrows up and down. Yuck, he's so disgusting.
We left him there, I heard him calling my name, but I ignored it. While waiting for Britanny and Haxilla, I scrolled at my feed.
"Their baby is so cute."
Maxine posted their family picture for the new year, they all look elegant. I stared at Jaxon, he is more comfortable now with his own family than before. He already accepted it like I did.
"Wylow, did you make Aunt Selena stressed?" Britanny said while getting her son from my arms. I shake my head at her, she peeked at my phone, "Maxine gained weight, huh."
"Yes, maybe it's because of pregnancy. By the way, is everyone ready?" I asked.
She nods, "Hm, that's why I looked for Wylow. Let's go."
"Happy birthday to you... Happy birthday to you..."
Wylow's birthday celebration went alive and fun. While watching the other visitors enjoying the party, Raven gave me a cup of juice and sat beside me.
"You seem more alive now."
"That's resurrection," I joked.
He sighed, "After my mother died, I don't think that I can cope with it."
I looked at him, his face is full of sadness. He tried to smile, but it can't change his sad eyes, "But, every time I see you, it reminds me that I should be stronger. All the things happened to you is worse than mine, but still, you can keep your smile."
"Nothing will happen if I stayed in the dark, if I don't move to find the light. It's scary to stay in that kind of place, so you should also do that. Even it has a long path to take before you get to the light, you must keep on moving on. That's how life works."
— END —
My hands are encircled by a chain. My waking body was greeted by a cold and cement odor; this place is a shambles."You're awake, Selena."That familiar voice made me raise my head."Jacob? All of this was done by you?"He gets down on his knees and looks me in the eyes. I could see how much rage was now residing in his heart and spirit. His fingers twirled in my hair and brushed against my face."I apologize for using you, Selena. You're Jax's priceless jewel, which he can't afford to lose" with every point he makes, he says.I cocked my head and smirked. He didn't know anything, and my eyes are fixed on him, like if my death is a long distance off."You're wasting your time; Jax won't show up—"Because of a gunshot from elsewhere, my word is cut short."Get away from my wife, Jacob,"
THREE YEARS AGO Only the two of us stood beneath the frigid sky on a snowy December night. He grabs my hands and pulls me in closer. His eyes, like mine, are full of bliss, which I believed could only happen in movies. The butterflies in my stomach began to tickle my entire body. For me, it's a lovely night, and I'm feeling like a princess. He's speaking with his heart rather than his words when he says, "Thank you for coming into my life, Selena." My shaking hands smiled at him as they touched his face. "Thank you for always making my heart warm, even when the weather was so chilly." My eyes immediately closed
My headache caused me to wake up. What a shame that I was a complete mess last night.When a man approached from outside the room, I was going to get out of bed. He has a platter of food and soup in his hands.He pushed the meal to the side and said, "You're awake." I have a puzzled expression on my face as I stare at him.He's a baritone - a particularly attractive one, to be sure – but I remembered something."Yes, I'm the man in the café," he says, cutting off my words."You didn't hurt me in any way, did you?" I inquired, cautiously. He just sat on the couch and laughed at me."Why? Did you have a strange sensation in your body?"What? What exactly does he mean?"What exactly do you mean?" I inquired."Every time you're devirginized for the first time, it's unpleasant, so did you
I awoke with a big grin on my face. I need to start my day off on a good note-"AHHHH!"When I heard Haxilla cry in the living room, I bolted."Can you tell me what happened?" Brittany was the one who asked."A cockroach flew on her body, and you know how much Hax despises cockroaches," she explained as she stood there watching Haxilla jump and roll around the room."Did you simply stand there like that? Oh, please help me-ah!" Hax had fallen on the couch.With a shake of my head, I returned to my room. Later, when she realizes the cockroach has gone away from her, she will be fine.I can still hear her yells, but I choose to ignore them and prepare for my interview.Sel, be courageous and confident. You've got this!Haxilla stopped whining and began preparing breakfast as if nothing had happened
I was in a rush because I had gotten up late yet again. I've never gotten up on time, geez. When the bus came to a halt in front of me, there were a lot of people going inside, and I couldn't get in because of the crowd. With a frown on my face, I walk backwards to allow them to pass. Why did I get terrible luck when I was born? I checked my watch and realized that waiting for another bus would make it difficult for me to make it to the interview on time. Running is easy for me because I wear flat sandals. People who bumped into me were ignored as I ran. A number of individuals have voiced their displeasure with my actions, but I haven't had the opportunity to apologize to them yet.
"Finally, we met," Ma'am Perfiana said as we exchanged handshakes. "Yes, I'm really apologetic for the previous day; my documents got bogged down in a muddy puddle," I stated. Her face was filled with both confusion and worry. "Why? What went wrong? "She inquired as she prepared her laptop for the interview. "I got bumped by a jackass, grr nevermind," I joked, and she laughed as well. We're seated on a bench outside the company, which is unusual for a job interview. "By the way, ma'am, does the job interview have to take place within the company?" I inquired. "Look at the spot where we are," she replied with a smile. Only a few folks were walking there when I looked around. Unlike outside of a company, there is a low population count here. "All I see are people walking by..." "The company was l
"You're wearing that outfit again," Haxilla said as I walked out to my room."What?! Today is my actual interview," I said and sat down for breakfast.Britanny was preparing the food on the table, and my brow furrowed when I noticed a cake that was unusual on our breakfast table."Why are we having a cake? Today is none of our birthdays.""That's our good luck gift for you," Britanny said, smiling as she sat down.I'm not sure what happened, but my heart began to skip a beat."Thank you for being so sweet." I was about to hug them when they backed away.I came to a halt and gave them a cold stare. They didn't love me, hmp! I sat down in my chair with a betrayed expression on my face.
"Wait, you're saying the glasses you broke in your life are the most important requirement?" Incredulous, Haxilla inquired.In the interview, I told them everything that had happened the day before."Yes, when I was aware of it. My heart was racing so fast, "I said this as I was cutting paper for a flower origami. We're assisting Britanny with her client's debut design."That's strange. By the way, you're friends now with Haru?" Britanny inquired as she glittered the flowers."No, I'm not sure. Perhaps just a casual get-to-know-each-other?""Do you have a photo of him?"In response to Haxilla's question, I shook my head.My phone rang as we were putting the finishing touches on the flowers a
