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 had consulted the internet and came across a post which informed her that the best way to get rid of a burnout was to dress up in an outfit that had always made her feel pretty, and take a walk. Well, she was taking a walk now, wasn't she? She passed by the Chinese restaurant where she usually patronised, and the guy at the front waved at her. "Miss!" He yelled, his arm flailing around in the air. Wouldn't hurt to wave back, right? She thought and turned back, raising her hand high. "Hii there!" Just then, a motorcycle hit her, causing her to fall on the ground, and the guy who was waving gasped in shocked before running to her immediately. Sarah got only a glimpse of the motorcycles rider's face before he drove off, with her still on the ground. Sarah was not even trying to ask for any money, but some concern over her health and safety would have been nice, if only for a little bit. "Mannerless boy!" She screamed after his dust trails, sure that he did not hear her
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
Rebecca was dressed in a long evening gown. She was meeting Eve for dinner. She had decided to text to ask what was going on, and Eve had responded almost immediately with a text indicating that they needed to talk, and Rebecca was to meet her at a popular dining spot, Taron did not trust this Eve, so he sent two bodyguards with Rebecca, just in case, even after Rebecca had assured him that it was completely unnecessary. Eve was sitting at a table with a similar gown, only that hers was violet, while Rebecca’s was lilac. “Girl.” Eve said, dragging the word as Rebecca sat down. “Do not girl me, I am mad at you.” Rebecca told her sternly, and Eve shook her head. “I’m so sorry, I actually wanted to reach out, but I could not, so I thought of doing it later.” Eve said. “Do you know how terrible it was? I kept on making up scenarios in my head, wondering what had happened to you, I was thinking that maybe you found me boring and didn’t want to talk to me at first, or maybe f
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
Taron was on the phone when Rebecca went in to meet him. He signaled, asking if all was good, and Rebecca nodded. Eventually, he got off the phone and Rebecca spoke. "There's someone here to see you, says her name is Rebecca Torres." Rebecca said and Taron's eyes lit in recognition, and Rebecca's nostrils flared for a second. "Should I tell her to come in?" Rebecca asked. "Yes, let her in, she was the one who was working on—" Rebecca cut in. "The Javier case, I'm well aware." Taron was amused by Rebecca's attitude. Not that he was surprised, she was possessive and short temper, and if he was not careful, she could make him cry in a matter of minutes. Rebecca got back to her seat. "He said that you should go in, knock once before you go inside." Rebecca said and Rebecca Torres nodded. "Yes, thank you, I know office manners." Rebecca Torres said in a calm voice, and it was that very calmness that irritated Rebecca, making her feel stupid for acting out. "I wasn't i
“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
Taron called Rebecca's phone and Eve picked it up almost immediately. "Hello?" "I'm stuck in traffic, any news yet?" Tarim asked and Eve looked around. "No, I've not heard from the doctor yet." "Alright, I'll try my best to be there quickly, please call me if she wakes up or anything." Taron said and Eve mumbled a yes before Taron cut the call. What if Rebecca was pregnant? Eve thought. In a lot of the movies that she had watched, the pregnant women had fainted, and so maybe the contraception had failed, and Rebecca was just going to be a mummy, that was it. What were the possibilities of it being worse than that? The doctor came outside and Eve stood up immediately. His face was unsmiling, and Eve wondered if that was his resting face, or if he had something terrible to say. “What’s the situation, doctor?” Eve asked. “Oh, you must be the friend who brought her in, it’s nothing much, the patient just happens to be anaemic, and needs a better diet with a lot of r
