Bethy Hillstorm*"Take them up Lucas, I will be there in minute" I hastily hand Lucas the shopping bag, as he wait for the elevator door to open. I squirm a bit, trying not to be so obvious and maintain a straight face.Lucas furrowed his brow in a frown at me as he takes my bag but I don't have the time to explain. I hastily run to the direction where I sight the female restroom.Once i got inside the restroom, I released the fluid I had been saving in my bladder.I was holding it in untill we got to the hotel but the elevator just won't get to me in time so I had to use the restroom at the lobby.After thoroughly washing my hands, I get out and head towards the elevator.Luckily for me they were no other people so the elevator was readily available.I got in and pressed the 9th floor. The door was almost closing when a sneaker got in the way, I quickly pressed on the open button. A blond hair man in his late twenties let himself in as he tries to catch his breath.I let go of the bu
I sigh again but continued on packing my clothes. I can't believe we're already going home. After our intense sexual moment a while ago, Emilio reminded me to pack my things and be ready to fly back home.He left after that saying he has a short important meeting to attend.I am thankful I got to see Central Park again and oddly enough, I feel a lot better as if the places I visited somewhat lessened the burdening pain in my heart. I have to get back to work tomorrow morning and Emilio is a busy man so we really have to leave tonight.A loud abrupt knock on my door startled me, so I stop packing and approach the door. Lucas is standing at the doorway with a large shopping bag in his hands and he hands it to me."From Mr. Mendez." He casually says and walks away after I took the bag.I look inside for its contents, the phone in my right hand beep, a message from Emilio.I bet that dress would look good on you.Meet you at 9 PM.I smiled widely and set aside my phone so I can take a pro
Bethy Hillstorm*I look up to see Collin Raye, with a camera dangling on his neck as he waves at me. I recognise him as the guy I met at the elevator this afternoon. "Mr. Raye, hi!" I nervously say while trying to get Emilo's hand off my thigh but he would not budge.Instead he pins me down that I could not even stand up to greet Mr. Raye."Oh, you have company." Mr. Raye looks at Emilio sitting beside me."Mr. Mendez." Emilio offers his hand in a handshake but his left hand is still resting firmly on my thigh.Mr. Raye accepts his handshake gladly and naively. "It's Collins Raye. I met Miss Hillstorm a while ago. I didn't know you would be coming here too."I glance at Emilio and his eyes are shooting daggers at Mr. Raye. I mentally curse. What the hell is wrong with Emilio? He's looking like he's becoming the scary Emilio again.I laugh nervously trying to enlighten the mood."Uhm, yeah, we just finished having dinner. How about you? Are you here with someone?"I jerk forward a lit
Bethy Hillstorm*"To Bethy!" They gleefully shout and clink their glasses with mine before we drink in unison.The others get back to the food while some resumes their chitchat after saying their thanks and goodbyes to me. I smile contentedly as I look around me."Thank you, Bethy, It was really great working with you even though it was such a short period of time." Mr. Parker sincerely expresses his gratitude as he sits beside me."It was an honor to have worked with you, Mr. Parker. Thank you for doing this for me." I reply back.Since this is the last day I would be working filling in one if their workers position, they all insisted we have a simple goodbye party for me right after office hours. We finished our work early just to give time to this simple tribute for me.I refused at first when they told me but they were already so enthusiastic and excited about it. They took care of all the food deliveries and the drinks.They even rearranged the tables that we have a wide snack to
Emilio Mendez*"Justin, why did you offer me that kind of a deal?"As soon as that question came out of her mouth, she bends over and vomited probably all of what she ate tonight. I hastily seize her hair out of the way and pat her back.I can't believe she's drunk like this. I had a hunch they would be celebrating tonight since its her last day at work as she once mentioned it to me but I didn't expect her to be this drunk. But somehow, seeing her alone waiting for me at the lobby made me smile. At least that jerk Mr. Parker is not withher.When she finished throwing up, I offer her my ash handkerchief and she wipes her mouth. I resume guiding her until we reach her front door. I glance down at her door and notice that it has two locks."Keys, Bethy."Instead of giving me her keys, she looks up at me with shock clouding her eyes."You want a kiss right now, Emilio?""What!" I stare at her in horror as I realize she had misunderstood me. "No! Jesus Christ Bethy, I mean...the keys to
Bethy Hillstorm*"Lilian!" I squeal in sheer excitement once I saw the caller ID of my bestfriend flashing on my phone."Bethy!" Lilian on the other line greets me in equal excitement."How have you been?""Where the hell have you been?"I laugh at our excited questions to each other so I have to keep quiet and let her ask me first."Bethy, where the hell have you been this past years or was it month? Last time, I couldn't get a hold of you cell.""Oh, that must have been when I was away for Prague." I explain recalling the two days I spent with Emilio in Prague."Prague? How did you get there? I mean, really?That was your dream and I can't believe you already made it!""Uh, yeah. I did." I laugh then try to steer the topic away from me. "Hey, Lilian how was your honeymoon?""Bethy, we just arrived from Canada, are you free or are you still doing tutorials?"I glance at my obedient students in my living room who are busy solving the math equations I got them. I was in the middle of m
Bethy Hillstorm*"Are you there yet?" Lilian anxious voice over the phone greets me as soon as I pick up her call. “Lilian don't worry. I'm meters away from the meeting place." I continue walking while keeping an eye for my steps. "Okay, remember, Bethy, you have your own choice. Do not feel pressured just because I set you up. You can leave if you don't feel like it." I smile at her apprehension. "Where's the stubborn Lilian who convinced me nonstop yesterday to say yes to this date?" "Shut it, Bethy. I just want to make you happy and I hope you will find each other interesting.” "Okay bye Lilian." I say as the front door sign of the Pals cafe appears in front of me. "I've got a date I can't miss." "Okay, bye,Bethy. Enjoy!" I sigh and put my phone in my small pouch bag. I would be meeting Jason’s cousin whom Lilian set up for me. I can't believe I agreed and came here. With Lilian’s non-stop bickering yesterday, I enter the quiet café. I glance around and a few people are sitt
I curse loudly at the involuntary contractions while I drown in pain on my bed. It's still ten in the morning and after I had breakfast, I went back to bed because of the pain. Damn this cramp!It's the curse to some ladies like me who doesn't have their regular cycle of menstruation.I get my periods at random days and the curse of extreme cramps that comes with it would stay with me for two to three days. At times, it's a torture that I have to take painkillers when I couldn't bear it anymore. Oftentimes it's bearable and I can just sleep it off but for this time, its pain level is 1, 000 to the highest.After discovering yesterday that my period came, I still proceeded with my tutorials and finished it before the worst pain came.Today, the menstrual cramps made it worse and the shooting pain from my navel area is making me cry out in pain. I already went through my stocks of medicine but I couldn't find any pain killers. This is the sad part of living alone when no one can loo
