30-No more lies
I don’t know why but instead of going back to my apartment I decided to go back to the mansion. I spent the rest of the day with my earphones, snuggling up on our fluffy couch in the first-floor lounge. I was obviously still mad at myself. Mad at myself for getting my hopes up again. Yoké left, he was upset. What makes me think that he’d be in Alice’s car or in her music class? For the whole day, I didn’t pick up any calls from dad or Nathan.
A sudden touch on my shoulder sent shivers down my spine. I nearly jumped out of my seat. I turned to see mom standing there with surprise on her face.
“Geez, mom…” I said removing my earphones.
“Sorry.” She said coming to kiss my forehead. “I could you like thrice but you weren’t hearing me.”
“I had earphones on.” I showed her my phone and earphones.
“Yeah,

“It doesn’t matter what I would’ve done that day.” I told him, placing a possibly cold palm on his cheek. “Today I decided that I’m done hurting the both of us. You especially. I mean I know how you feel about me. And every time I talk about Yoké I realize that you’re getting hurt. And I’m done doing that to you. So, if he does happen to magically show up in Duran one day, I won’t be going anywhere. I want to be with you. I’m done hurting you.”Those words made Nathan smile. His smile made the corners of his lips curl upwards, beautifully.“Promise?”I smiled back. “I promise.”He nodded slowly, and then he couldn’t take it anymore and gave me a big hug. He placed his arms around my neck and kept me plastered against him. I hugged him back of cause. I felt happy. Happy for making someo

Francis looked at me. “Don’t tell me you believe everything that girl said?”“Well, you didn’t tell me why I shouldn’t believe her.” I told him.“Because she’s some poor girl from a poor city looking for a rich opportunity to change her life.” Francis said. “It seems I fell into that trap because of a one-time moment of weakness.”“One time, so you did actually do it.”He looked away, like he felt disappointed in himself. “Yes. But only once.” “Francis, are you lying to me?” I asked staring him directly in the eye. He held his gaze until he shook his head. “No I’m not lying.” “And how long ago was it?” “I don’t even remember.” He said running his hands through his hair. “But it was a long time ago. Like beginning of this year maybe.” “That is a long time ago.” I said, nodding. “I remember that night. You all were here, I don’t remember what we were celebrating. You were still behaving like a total stranger. I hate to remind you of this but it was right before you wanted to… You k

“What do you mean?” Yoké asked me while rubbing his cheek, where I had slapped him. “Why the hell did I just see you kissing my sister?” I shouted at him.“Genesis, you’re creating a scene. Wasn’t it you that said that public is not good for us two?” He asked me.I don’t know what was controlling my mind at that moment but I grabbed the edge of his hoodie and started pulling him down the stairs.“Where you taking me?” He was asking me with a grin.“To the car. We need to talk.” I said. I only managed to get him to the bottom of the stairs. He wouldn’t let me take him to the car.“I don’t have to get into your car. We have nothing to talk about.”“Oh really?” I shouted and shoved him at the same time. “You flipping kissed my sister!”“So?” He shouted back in my face. The grin he had, now washed away. He looked as serious as me now.“Are you asking me that?” I asked him, feeling angrier than ever. “Are you asking me that?”“Yeah. I kissed Alee, so?”Who was this stranger before me?“Fir

Their flat was a one bedroom flat. They had an open planned kitchen. The kitchen was small and the sitting room was clustered. The couch and sofa too close to the coffee table. Their TV was small, an old make. There was dirty dishes on their kitchen counter.“It was your man’s turn to do the dishes yesterday.” Uma said when he noticed me staring at the kitchen counter. “You can have a seat.”I squeezed between the couch and sofa and then took a seat on the couch.“I’ll be back now.” Uma told me, entering the room and quickly coming back out.“Uhm, I know in your country, when someone visits, you are supposed to offer them alcohol but unfortunately Dan and I don’t drink.”I smiled politely. “I’m actually good.”“No, I can go buy it downstairs. There is a liquor store righ

After a while, I heard the front door open and then Omar calling out.“You can come out now.”I slowly slid out of the room.“I didn’t want Alice to see you here. We don’t know which questions she would have asked. Or how we would answer them.”“Where’s Dan?” I asked him. “I mean Yoké.”“Dan. Get used to that name.” Omar told me. “He went to drop her downstairs. She only came to see the place.”“Dan brought her here to see the place?” I asked.Omar nodded.“So, what? He wants her to start coming here?”I went back to the kitchen and began doing Yoké’s dishes. Omar didn’t redoing, just continued spicing the chicken.“It’s such a

“Genesis.” Omar was following behind me. I was literally running down the stairs. When I reached the third floor I felt Omar pull me by the arm.“Omar.” I warned.“Can you give me a second?” He was panting.“What?” I said, sounding so hopeless.“Did you actually mean everything you told Dan?”“Which part?” I asked bluntly. “The part where I told him how so much better Nathan is than him, or the part where I told him how much he means to me?”Omar blinked, clueless, not knowing what to say for a second. “The part that you said you would marry Nathan.”“Yes.” I said. I was no longer thinking anything over. I was upset. Angry with Yoké. I was probably going to regret this later but right now I didn’t even want Omar doubtin

When the driver dropped me at my apartment that night, I felt so happy that I connected my phone to the speakers and turned the volume right up, although it was late. The loud music banging against the windows. I danced around like some girl from a happy scene of a movie. Rosalie came to the living room.She kept her head down and wanted to walk past me.“Here.” I said taking my coat from the floor and handing it to her.“This goes directly into the washing machine.” I told her. “Please isolate it, don’t put other clothes in the washing machine with it, please.”“Okay, ma’am.” She responded. She wanted to walk away again.“Come here.” I took her hand. “Rosalie.”“Yes?” She responded, not even able to look at me in my eye. Reminded me of Omar today. I laughed. Omar

I told her that I wanted it to be huge and that she could do what ever she wanted on that day. We decided to make it on Saturday. It was only four more days until Saturday and then things would get hot, messy. I knew that Alice would invite Dan, if cause, since he is all she sees these days. And when he invites Dan and Dan sees me with Nathan, it would drive him insane. I was going to make sure that he really gets jealous. I would do whatever it takes, as long as it means that at the end of that night he would be begging me to not marry Nathan.The rest of the day, I spent the day in bed with Nathan. We watched a couple of movies and then he told me that he would spend the night. Nathan and I both have clothes at the mansion and at my apartment. Obviously it's normal for some of my clothes to
