Two days since Jake left the city again. After that shocking proposal he did, Rossie was a bit agitated with Primrose not telling her entirely. Of course, it wasn't her sister's fault and probably her sister just didn't want to ruin the surprise. What can she do? It was already there. She already said yes.What's worst is that the preparation for the wedding will be in three months' time. She has been given three months and most divorces she read about online take eleven months or so. It would at least take six months. She is doomed!"I really should've confessed to Jake," Rossie frustratingly groaned. She was back to work and on her lunch break like always, she is with Ellisa."Yeah, that jerk didn't invite me to the engagement. I'm not sure if I should support you in this." Right, Ellisa was still mad that she wasn't even invited. That she is my best friend yet she was never there to capture that moment. It was another reason for her to hate Jake even more"If I knew I would've inv
Although Jared didn't shout it out, he still made Rossie listen to him. She knows it is not a good thing to provoke someone like him and she knows she won't get another chance. It all depends on her being nice to him now since he has something that she needs.Rossie looks away, adjusting the pillow around her neck, and then hides half of her face with the plushie that he gave her. It can't be helped. "As long as you commit to your words about tomorrow then be it.""I don't say things I don't mean," he repeated the sense of what he said earlier.The ride was quiet and long that it had Rossie falling asleep again. The funny thing is that Jared never woke her up. They stayed parked at some vacant lot until she slowly moved, making her morning face that made him hide a smile. She even did some stretches, opening her eyes halfway."We've been here for quite a while now," he tells her. Looking at Rossie it seems like she was still making her way into the world. "You're asleep for about thre
"What does he do?" Rossie could not help the thrills in her fingertips."Well..." Lucas looks her in the eyes and the next thing he said killed her and Ellisa. "I don't actually know," he answers, scratching the side of his face. "I swear I am going to kill you!" Ellisa shouts, gaining some attention all over the pantry. Lucas was just laughing. "You sound like you knew everything and do us like that! Motherhooker!""Honestly, I don't know what he does but I do know he is someone you don't want to mess with," Lucas clarifies to them. "Also, congratulations on your engagement, Rossie."So, Lucas knows about them, she thought, well of course he does! And she knows about her engagement which means Jared must have known... yet he didn't say anything. It's impossible for him not to notice the big rock on her ring finger. "Thank you," she tells Lucas. "May I ask, how did you guys meet?""Well, he used to come to work in this company. Then he handled us for a while. He was so strict but I
Primrose was worried seeing her sister just got home. They never really see each other often and thank God she is free this morning. So, she wants to apologize to her sister for not fully telling her that Jake was planning to propose and for not telling her what she further knew.As a younger sister, she didn't have as much responsibility as her sister. All she needed to do was graduate and be good at school, unlike her sister who needed to work for them.They were a well-off family and they never struggle with money until one day when she was twelve when their families' tailoring business burned down, leaving nothing but damages and debt for them. The Vesmonds help them because Jake wanted to help but from then on, her sister kept downgrading herself and she has always been worried.Just as Rossie got inside her room, Prim decided to follow afterward, knocking on her sister's door. There wasn't any response so she just turned the doorknob and pushed the door open. Her sister was sitt
The next night, Rossie was picked up by Jared again. At first, she hesitated to tell him about what she and her sister talked about earlier but she ended up telling him. "I know it's ridiculous to meet my sister but she really wants to meet you," she reasoned. Ugh! This was embarrassing for her. "You don't have to agree though. I can just tell her you're really busy.""When can I meet her?" he asked. Instantly her eyes couldn't help but widen, jerking her face to see if he was serious. He looked serious. "Uhm... when are you free?""I'm free anytime."That doesn't sound right. The first few days they were talking to each other she remembers him saying that he was busy and had no time. Now, he is saying that he is free anytime. It made her scoff."My day off is on Thursday. Maybe you can give her a ride to school or something." Well her sister said she just wants to meet Jared. She never said anything bout getting to know her husband."Anything is good with me." Somehow Rossie think
Thursday. Primrose was waiting for Rossie and her husband to pick her up from school. Aside from Wednesdays and Saturdays, they really go home as early as two in the afternoon. Unless you are part of the group that's scheduled to clean the classroom or a junior high school then your class schedule is different.Waiting for them has her anxious, nibbling her lower lip continuously and playing with her fingers. She's dying to meet the man her sister married but at the same time, she feels like this was a bad idea. But before she could text her sister to cancel this meeting, a black car parked in front of her, stopping her from using her phone.Of course, she remembers this car! Her heart started pounding so loudly, especially when the door on the other side open revealing a man of good looks. He has eyes that can hypnotize, especially when the sun's light is reflected in them. When she thinks she can't be more into his aura, the man showed a charming smile, softening everything on his f
"Woah!" Primrose's jaw dropped. She has never been there, not even with friends and now she's just here surrounded by all these games. She wanted to shout from the top of her lungs! "It's so cool here!" she squealed. "I want to play it all!""You've never been here?" Jared asked Rossie."No, I've been pretty busy and we never knew this place existed," she answered. Yeah, they were too caught up with their lives to get news that this place actually is in their city. "Do you come here often?""No, not often. But Kei with Levius and I, when we're not in the mood for anything, we go to places like this.""Can I play?!" Primrose butt into them. "You'll need a card to play," Jared tells her. He opened his palm to Prim. "Wanna get some so we can win prizes?" Immediately, Prim grinned and put a hand on Jared's. They went to the counter together, hopping like kids getting excited about ice cream. Rossie only smiled and follow both of them. Jared had bought three cards, one was loaded with a
After that day off, Rossie finally rested well. Now she's back to waking up at midnight to go to work. For some reason, she woke up before her alarm could so she turned it off. It had her surprised when out of nowhere, Jake started face-timing her. For some seconds she stared at it. She never hesitated to answer his calls before but now she is a little. How could she reject the call? She cleared her throat and pressed the green button, and joined in. "Hi, love!" she greeted with a smile. "Hi, love. I couldn't get a hold of you today. Mom said you were out with Prim." Of course, her mother would tell him what she does. "Yes, I was arcading with Prim." Like the expression her mother gave her earlier, Jake's face slowly clouded with disappointment. "She won her poster making. I needed to celebrate with my sister, love.""You didn't touch our savings, right?" he asked, brows crossed. "No, of course, I didn't, love." She was suddenly reminded of how Jared was even telling her that buy
