Selena saw her first. “What’s she doing here?” She asked Sarah, who had nothing to offer but a seemingly nonchalant shrug. “I can’t believe that she has the audacity to come out and shop where I shop.” Selena scoffed. “It’s kind of a public place, so anyone can shop here, as long as they’re not poor criminals.” Sarah shrugged and picked out a new lipgloss. “You’re lucky, you don’t have anything to fight about right now, so you’ve got it easy.” Selena said. “Definitely, I’m not the one who’s beefing with another woman because of a man who she left a long time ago, that doesn’t sound like a very easy thing to do.” Sarah said sarcastically, and Selena glared at her. Sarah had been off recently, but maybe it was just her period or her hormones acting up. Rebecca did not see Selena, but she saw Sarah move past her. “Hey.” Sarah said as she passed and Rebecca looked up, surprised to see that it was Sarah. “Hey.” She said with the same energy that Sarah had given he

Sarah blinked rapidly as she let go of him. Henry looked startled. “I’m sorry.” Sarah said. “No, I’m sorry,” Henry said and turned away. “I’m sorry that you had to listen to me talk when I was supposed to be helping you, but honestly, I needed it.” “Did you though?” She looked at him from the corner of her eyes. “Yeah, actually, I have not had the chance to talk about this, and so, it felt nice while it lasted.” Henry said. “You should be on your way now, I’m sorry for ruining whatever plans you had earlier that got ruined by me.” Sarah said. “No, I just had to go and see a friend of mine, but don’t worry, others would be with him, and to be honest, I really didn’t want to go.” Henry shrugged. “Oh okay, so, what now?” “You’re going home?” He said it like it was a question. “Do you live around here? Maybe I could escort you back to your place.” “No, thank you, I’ll be fine on my own,” Sarah responded. “you should be on your way, I’m sure that your friend w

She huffed as she got down from her car. The one time this month she decided to drive alone in the night air and maybe have some clarity and peace of mind, that was when her car chose to suddenly stop working. Selena kicked the tyre. "But Jugo said that you were working properly! Why are you acting up?" She went to the bonnet and opened it, coming face to face with some very strange looking objects. "I don't even know how this is supposed to work." She sighed and got back into the car before calling her driver for help. Great. She thought, putting her phone down. It was just her fortune that her driver was unreachable too. Where did he go? She called Sarah as a last option, and Sarah picked up immediately. "Hey, what's up?" Sarah asked. "I'm stranded, and my car isn't working anymore, please come here and pick me up." Selena said. "At this time? Why did you go out alone, and at night too?" Sarah asked and sighed. "Just send me your location and I'll be on my way to

“And she actually spoke to you like that?” Eve asked, her eyes protruding in what seemed to be shock. Or disbelief, whichever. “What did you expect me to do? Slap her?” “Yes! She can’t come into your office and speak to you disrespectfully.” “At least let me tell you what happened afterwards.” Rebecca slapped Eve’s knees. “If it’s anything like what you just told me, then I don’t want to know.” Eve was frowning. Rebecca was at Eve’s place, as they were trying to catch up with each other. They had become extremely close and they saw each other for meetups like this regularly. “No, not really, will you let me tell you or not? Because I’d be happy to leave the story halfway done and go for ice cream instead.” “No, tell me,” Eve whined. “But is there a trigger warning?” “Not any that I know of, but see, do you know that when she went in there, she actually tried to flirt with Taron?” “No way! The nerve of that bitch.” “Well, yes, and Taron had told her tha

Sarah was trying to get over all the things that had been plaguing her mind for the past few weeks. It was not working, but she had to push positivity, pushing p, or whatever it was that one artist said. She had pushed the “incident” behind her, and did not want to think, or even speak about it. And as for the man she met that day— the one who had saved her, she hoped that they never had to see each other again too. She had forgotten his name too, so she was making good progress with it. There were a lot of people in this place, and she had never seen him before, right? The chances of her seeing him again must not have been very high. There was commotion way in at the front, but as the men seemed to just be yelling, and not throwing any physical punches yet, she decided to make her way into the shop before anything else started to happen. With just her fortune, she could easily get a punch landed on her face for no reason. “Hold up, Sarah?” A voice called out and Sarah tried t
