“I can’t give you this book, my cousin instructed me to buy this specifically. Just like you said, there are alternative books similar to this one, I’m sure you could find an alternative.” He smirked, “Next in line please.” He turned his head in front before He steals a glance at her. He strolled at the cashier passing her infuriated figure, seemingly unaffected by her heated grimace. “Cheeky bastard!” Veins popped on her forehead and jaw from sheer anger when she watched him take his wallet inside his blue blazer and gave the money to the cashier woman. He walks past her like she wasn’t even there and left the store, “I want to strangle him to death with a rope and throw his carcass in a drum full of acid and then dig a hole 6 feet deep, I’m sure the police wouldn’t notice if I put a dead animal above his body right?” She was oozing with animosity while glaring at the door where he came out not noticing the trembling girl on her left, “W-what did you just say?” the girl stammered,
“Could it be an illusion?” before Dion leaves the store he was certain his eyes caught a glimpse of the burn mark on her collarbone before he paid for the book and it’s been bothering him ever since he arrived in his office. “Hey Victor” a young charming man with wavy brown locks and tan complexion who seemed to be in his mid-20s reading a book while sitting on the black leather couch located on the left side of the room, “Hhmn? What is it?” it was almost feeble and soft when he spoke but his eyes never left the book. Dion replied, “I met a girl in Jenna’s Libiria today before I got here, she had a burn mark on her left collarbone. After I left the store I thought that she looked similar to the girl in my memories.” Victor promptly stopped reading and lifted his chin to look at him, bemused by his description. “You also said something similar two weeks ago, do you even remember when you got punched with a bag because you thought it was her and it turns out that it was only a fake t
“Well….I’ll check my calendar first once I get home, then I’ll tell you my answer after the event is finished.” The petite girl wanted to jump in pure glee when she finally have an opportunity to spend time with Dion. “Thank you for your consideration, Mr Nester.” She beamed, “Your welcome Ms. Hensley, You should get home, office hours already ended a couple of minutes ago.” Dion added. “Yes, Mr Nester! Have a safe trip home and you too Mr. Nicholas.” Victor waved his hand indolently while sending her a small grin, “You too.” he muttered. They watch the girl leave the building, it was obvious how happy she was they could tell that she’s on cloud nine, “Wow~ I wasn’t expecting that, I thought you would brutally reject her and not give her a chance.” Victor commented. “I’m not that cruel….I think.” Dion replied, unsure of his answer. “Uh-huh, right. Come on I’m starving.” Victor went first before Dion followed him from behind “Hey, wait for me.” Dion said sprinting to Victor's side.
An ear-piercing noise of a clock continuously hammers her ears ruthlessly, the pillow that is pressed firmly on both sides of her ears was in vain as the irksome sound echoes through the pillow. She abruptly sat up like a child in a tantrum and glared at the annoying clock on her right before she balled her hand into a fist and slammed the clock with intentional force, nearly cracking the glass. Valencia threw the sheets to the side and leapt out of her bed, after her feet touched the floor she winces at the coldness of the ceramic ground flaring on the bottom of her bare feet ’Cold! Cold!’ she made a little hop as she immediately slips her feet into the slippers beside her. She turns around to face her messy bed and began fixing it before walking across the room towards the brown wooden cabinet. She pulled it open and started foraging for clothes to wear, ’I’m so sleepy.’ her little head bobs and half-open lids are the results of the drowsiness and lack of sleep emulating in her bu
A concerned expression of a man appeared in her vision, “That was a pretty awful bump you have there, here use this to ease the pain.” He stretches his arm towards Valencia with an item in his hand, it was a soda can. His worried gesture is insisting her to take the cold beverage.Valencia pondered in a jiff before she decided to take the can in his hand, “Thank you” she replied with a meek tone and presses the cold can against her slightly swollen forehead. She elevated on the ground and gave the man a quick head bow before leaving the building in a flustered state.She crosses the pedestrian lane that is laid out in front of the entrance door of the condo after waiting for the cars to pass by and stood under the shade of the Pine trees to wait for a taxi. She stops pressing the cold bottle on her forehead after she felt the pain slowly subsiding and wipes the excess water on her frons with her free hand.She lifts her right arm mid-air with her thumb sticking up, sending a signal t
Valencia had scowl on her face when she saw a familiar individual sitting from afar, "Of all places, we just had to meet here.", she sneered at the oblivious Dion Nester, across the room “It looks like karma is biting my ass for talking back to my father last time .” She placed her bent arm on the wooden table with her elbow kissing the blue mantle and pressed her fingers on her temple and began massaging her head in circular motion with a frown on her face.She leaned back on her chair and placed her arms on the armrest and sighed, she dismissed her thoughts to diminish the stress that might turn into a headache if she continued to worry about being seen by Dion.“Hah, why should I worry about this?” Valencia only wanted to avoid ruining her tranquil morning so she diverted her focus to her left, peering through the window to watch the people pass by while waiting for her order patiently.A scrupulous gaze lingered visibly in Dion’s black eyes as he read the book in his left hand, de
“Take out number 38! Take out number 38! Please, take your order here at the counter.” I feigned no ambivalence when I scampered at the counter after checking the paper in my hand, I took a swift keek at the man before I averted my sight elsewhere when I saw him staring at me with an evident frown on his face “Why does he look upset?”Sweat began forming on my forehead while striding at the claiming area, “Number 38, pl-” I unintentionally slammed the paper on the counter out of a rush that made the employee shriek out of surprise.A faint hue of red crept on my cheeks from feeling abashed by my actions, “Sorry for the scare, I didn’t mean to do that, but here's the number.” I started embarrassingly, I noticed her charring look while taking the paper that has my takeout number printed onto it “Alright…here you go, Ma’am, hope you enjoy.’’ she said with a stilted voice before she pushed the brown tray towards me.I bobbed my head and gave her a sheepish smile before I uttered, “Ah, yes
