I want you
Heaven fakes a wide grin.
"Aren't you going to let me in?"
"What do you want?" I ask flatly.
"I want us to talk," she says sharply. "Woman to Woman."
I am hesitant for a moment then I let the door wide open.
"Make it fast."
I escort her to the sofa and watch as she sinks in it.
"Mmh, nice sofa."
I cross my arms against my chest, still standing.
"Please get to the point."
She looks at me blankly. "It's about CJ."
Obviously.
Heaven continues. "I know everything. About you and him. About your wedding. About you standing him up at the altar. He didn't tell me. I dug that shit up on my own," she pauses and looks me up and down.
She resumes. "I'm not here for a catfight or any sort of confrontation. I'm here to have a nice talk with you. And beg you to stay away from him. You had him. Now it's my turn to have him."
I'm shook by her bluntnes

TRENT Because you're cool naturally
I can't find the strength to move.I fall on my knees and break down.I burst out in an ocean of tears, messing my whole face up with mascara and wet foundation.I'm more than terrified. Could this be him? Has he finally found me? But how? This just couldn't be him... There's no way he has found me...Oh right!I will tear you apart...The words ring so loudly in my head.Ofcourse!CJ!This is all his evil doing!First, he broke into my house and now he has smashed my new car. I know it's him. I'm sure it's him. He's enjoying doing this to me... Torturing me...Someone engulfs me in their arms and lifts me up.Those warm muscular arms.Seven.."What the hell!" he gasps. "Who the hell did that!"I don't respond instead I just look at him, wondering who to pin this on blindly. Because maybe it's not my boss that's doing all this?"Your fucking boss!" he freaks out.
TRENT Still love chicken?
CJ is staring sharply at Seven.A cocky grin on his face.Heaven is staring intently at me.And I, well, my eyes are playing ping-pong on everyone at the table.There is a lot of tension between us.The tension lowers a bit when the drinks are brought."So, this is your boyfriend?" CJ looks at Seven scornfully."Yes, I'm her boyfriend. Who the fuck are you?"CJ smirks. "Ask her."Seven looks at me."He's my boss," I respond.Seven is a bit surprised then he goes silent, in lack of words."Why have you gone silent? I bet you've heard a lot about me..."Seven frowns and grits his teeth, clenching his fist under the table."So, he's the reason you didn't come to work at all?"The rude question is directed to me but he's staring at Seven.Seven smirks at him. "What choice did you leave her after you smashed her car you coward!"CJ smirks at Seven and I. "I c
TRENT A friend for keeps
I'm so shocked that my legs are rooted to the ground.I can't move.I can't say a word.All I can do is watch CJ in the unconscious state he's in, lying on the bare ground.Heaven suddenly enters the office looking stunning in a blue dinner dress.Maybe the two were supposed to go on a date... Maybe... Coz they are just friends, right?But then Heaven is always dressed up like this...She does not freak out like I have. She's just a little astonished. She squats and starts slapping him lightly."He's having a seizure. This has been happening for the past three years... It's nothing new," she says softly.The past three years? But I never left him with the condition. Could that mean I'm the reason he's like this? No... No..."But lately... Since you came back," she makes it clear. "He has been having seizures more oftenly."What!CJ starts breathing hard
TRENT She's too much sugar
Amira slaps me again.Then when I think she will slap me again, she pulls me in her arms and lays her head on my shoulder affectionately."You fucking deserved another slap," she says in between silent sobs."I missed you," she whispers.I hold her tightly, forgetting that she has a baby bump.She pulls away from me and kicks me out of her way."I almost got lost coming here... I mistook the address Dee gave me."Amira gets inside, walking awkwardly, with her bump leading the way.I can't tell you how happy I am that she's here. That she embraced me that tightly and affectionately. Maybe we might never go back to the way we were but atleast we are on good terms. Atleast she made the effort to know where I live...Though I had to pay with the price of a slap.&n
TRENT But my love wasn't enough
I was clocking it at work at midday today.Not early in the morning like usual.As I enter, holding my handbag tightly, I bump into Heaven who glares at me angrily and hits me on the shoulder as she passes.What the heck was that?"CJ told her to stop dropping by at his office all the fucking time if he hasn't called for her," Zara explains approaching me. "They got into a heated argument and CJ told her to stay away from him. He wants a break.""But they are just friends, right?"Zara chuckles."Friendships need breaks too."We enter the elevator as Zara continues to fill me in on all the gossip that has been happening in the office. How really grumpy CJ gets nowadays. How rude he is to most of the stuff.But he's always been like that. Nothing new. That's why he earned the name, Mr. Grumps."So be careful not to get on the bad side with him," Zara warns as I leave to go to my office. "Just try yo
TRENT The feeling is mutual
He's looking at me.I'm looking at him.It's just the two of us in his office.And all my life I have never hated someone as much as I hate this man looking directly in my eyes.He's staring intently at me.I can see it allover his face.I can see it in his eyes.Pure satisfaction.Total bliss.That mean look of victory.He thinks he has managed to tear me apart into pieces. I will never let him tear me apart. That would be the last thing I ever do...I know he thinks I'm going to break down in front of him and beg him but I won't.He wants to play games? Let's play games. It's either I'm the winner or THE FUCKING WINNER. There's no in between. There's no way I'll lose this game he came up with to him. I want to beat him in his own fucking game. I want that to teach him a lesson."Are you going to do it or should I call the police?"I look coldly at him. "Call the police!"
TRENT I'm playing him in his own game
"What!"Seven blurts out, his eyes looking like they might pop out of their sockets any time."The third note!"I nod."And, why didn't you tell me this was happening?" he nags. "I know we are not so close but damn it! We've grown so close for the few weeks I've known you. I'd expect you to tell me something so serious."I sigh. "I thought the person sending would just get tired and stop. I know it's just empty threats!""Empty threats!" Seven bursts out. "This is a matter of life and death. Somebody just threatened your life and you're taking it as a joke."For some reason, it warms my heart that Seven is more concerned than I am about all this. Jeez! The look on his face... The fear in his eyes..."Tell me you've reported this to the police..."I shake my head and he loses it and starts pacing around the house furiously."God! Terra! You're so naive! The police need to know about this... An investigation s
