Amellie Cruz
I am reading some papers when Tyra suddenly ask me to follow her in the kitchen pantry. She is already making her coffee when I entered.
“Is there anything that you wanted to talk about?”-I ask her in a civil tone.
“It’s not because your the boss’s wife it means you have the right to act willful in this project. Your still just an intern.”
“I know. But I didn’t use my status as his wife to use on my advantage. I’m not you.”-I said. She gave me her death glare. I just smirk and drink the coffee that I made.
“Don’t made me lose my control. I am giving you a warning. I am not someone that you can easily picked on.”-she said. I also give her my word.
“Don’t try me also. I am not just any other kid that you can bully. You should be the one who should watch her step. I hope you understand what I mean, cheater. I mean Ms. Locke.”-I said and leave her with a teasing and superior smile. I can tell that she’s mad. She must have thought I’ll waver after she warns me. I’m not just an intern.
I have a class for today and I decided to visit Sir Edmond in his office. I knew he had a four subject classes today. He is surprised to see me waiting to him. Wait, I think… I suddenly open my phone and went to my gallery.
“You look like him.”-I mumbled.
“What did you just say?”
“Nothing Sir. Don’t mind me at all. Anyway, I’m here to ask you if you stop picking on my husband. I didn’t get the chance to talk to you after work because my husband is with me. I wanted to discuss to you about your attitude at that time Sir Edmond.”-I said. He seems surprised that I speak to him regarding this matter.
“Are you mad or something?”
“Sir Edmond. I already told you that I won’t entertain your feelings because I love my husband and as much as possible I don’t want to lose my respect to you as my professor.”-I said.
“But I’m serious about you, I can’t stop myself from falling in love to you, Amellie.”
“But I don’t feel the same way. I want you to stop doing that and tried to let go of your infatuations towards me.”
“But, Amellie.”
“Why don’t you try to see other women? Try to date others and starts to learn that you fell in love to a wrong person.”-I said. He sigh.
“I don’t know Amellie. I can’t promise you anything. I’m sorry.”-he said. I sigh.
“But I hope you will Sir. I have to go.”-I said.
Sam Cleo
I told mom that I’ll be home late because of this reunion of our high school batch. They set it up in this new and famous bar in the city.
“I’ll just go to the restroom.”-I said.
“Be back okay? Don’t run away.”-she said.
“Of course. I’ll be back after.”-I said. But the truth is, I’m planning to exit. When you’re a mom, you end up wanting to go home and have less time in hanging out until the depth of the night.
“Oh my gosh. I’m sorry.”-I said. I suddenly bump a man and he hit his back on the wall. My eyes widened when I saw who that man is. He is dead drunk. Just like that night.
“Mr. Santos?”-I said. He raise his face and look at me. What is he doing here?
“Ohh, you. Sam Cleo the head chef of Rising Sun Restaurant. What are you doing in my bar?”
“This is your business?”-I said. He nodded, a man approaches him.
“Sir, here’s your key of your house upstairs. Miss, did you know him?”-he said, One of the bartenders here. I nodded.
“Can you help me in bringing him up please? We have so many customers and we are out of hand as well.”-he said. I nodded. I took the key in his hand.
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of him from here.”-I said. He smiled. He bow down and leave us. I decided to help him and we are now standing in front of his door house. That’s why the second floor doesn’t look like a commercial business place. I use the key to open his house. Not bad, his house is neat and clean.
“Where is your room?’-I said to him. He raise his hand and point the room next to the bathroom. I open it and push him to bed. I sigh after he lay down to his bed. I pulled off his shoe and wipe his body with warm water.
“Okay, that’s it. I have to go.”-I said to myself. But he suddenly pulled me and he is on my top.
“Mr. Santos? What are you doing? Hey!”-I said.
He didn’t answer me, instead he claimed my lips. It was still the same even years had passed. The electricity and the butterflies in my stomach.
“No. This is wrong. Let me go.”-I said and push him. But he already held my hand in top of me and I don’t have enough strength to stop him. Before I knew it, I did the same mistake again.
“Honey? Sam?!”-my aunt is snapping her finger.
“Oh, I’m sorry auntie. I suddenly think if we still have supplies in the house. I’m sorry if I space out.”
“It’s okay honey. Anyway, just like what I’ve said, we might expand to other state by next month. Do you want to be there and manage it?”
“Huh? I’ll think about it auntie. But offer that spot to others also.”-I said. She agrees in the end.
Tyra Locke
Diana look at me in suspicious manner. I knew she is giving me a warning again.
“What is wrong with you Diana?”
“I heard what you said to Amellie. Tyra, have you gone mad? How can you be this irresponsible?”
“Shut up okay, Diana? You’re being too nosy. I hate this side of you.”-I said to her.
“Come on, you knew from the start what kind of friend I am. And also, I need to warn you. Stop creating any turmoil that will affect this project. Remember this is not any normal projects that the company entrusted to us. Don’t give us a hard time thinking about your unreasonable grudge towards your ex-husband.”-she said.
“I said shut up okay? And also, you have no right to tell me what to do okay?”
“I have. Because I’m your best friend and at the same time this project is being entrusted to the both of us. You hear me? So behave Tyra. Even if I need to keep on reminding you, I don’t care. Just do what I say. Get it?”
“Diana.”-I said and give her a warning gaze. But she leave me and went inside the bathroom. Tomorrow had come and work had started again. I use an excuse to talk to him in his office.
“Ethan, I need your help in this one. Can you lend me a hand?”-I said.
“Okay. Just 5 minutes, I have an important thing to do outside.”-he said.
“No problem.”-I said and bend my back. I let him see the color of my undies and my cleavage. I smiled when I saw that his eyes look on them.
“Ethan, I wanted to ask. How did you end up marrying your wife. I mean you have a 10 year age gap. I mean she’s to young for you. Who knows, she might fell in love to other men at the same age like hers.”-I said. His eyebrow arches.
“I thought your here for this matter Ms. Locke?”
“Yes, I am. I just suddenly want to hear your thoughts about what I have in mind. Anyway, most men wants a much younger lover anyway.”-I said.
“But she is not my lover, she is my wife. And also, your remarks in this report are shallow. You need to change your statistics in the graph and the percentage on this part are also mistake.”
“What? I mean, okay. Thank you. Good thing I ask you regarding that matter. I also feel like something off on this paper.”
“Okay. More than that, everything is great. You can go back now in your post. I have to prepare also.”-he said. I give him another sweet smile again before standing Up. She must have a better shape in her breast but I am also beautiful and I can lift up again the love he gave to me a year ago.
Peter Brown
He suddenly ask me to have drink with him in this bar and I can tell that he is worried about something. I drink my scotch.
“Is there any problem Ethan?”
“Yes. This Tyra girl is giving me a hard time. It feels like she is someone that I disgust or hate. She is also picking on my wife. And the worst is, she is seducing me.”-she said. I almost choke myself and put down my glass.
“Tyra Locke? Are you worried that your being seduced already? Ethan! I am giving you a warning, your married to Amellie.”-I said. He laugh.
“Of course I’m not worried about that. I told you, her play disgust me and I don’t feel anything about her advances. I am worried that she might create a misunderstanding between me and Amellie.”
“Then make sure that she won’t. Look, Tyra is a dangerous woman. You shouldn’t let her create any trouble between you and Amellie. Avoid her as much as possible. Don’t drink anything that she offers. Even drink with her, remember what Edmond do when he thought that he took advantage to your drunken wife? That is a big no.”
“Don’t worry, I knew what I should do. Let’s just finish this drink and let’s go home. My wife didn’t want me to get drunk and drive. She is already scared that an accident will happen again.”
“Better.”-I said. Tomorrow will be the time that we will visit my parents in the mansion.
“Are you ready?”-I said. She closes her foundation and look at me. She unbuckled her seat belt.
“Let’s go.”-she said. Inside the house.
“Mom, dad, this is my girlfriend, Satoh Luna.”
“I’m his fiancee actually, Nice meeting you Mr. And Mrs. Brown.”-she said and smile on them. They look at her from head to toe. They reach their hands.
“Nice meeting you, let’s go to the kitchen. The food is ready.”-dad said. We went to the dining hall.
“You’re a Japanese isn’t it?”-mom said.
“Yes Mrs. Brown. My blood type is AB, I graduated in Tokyo University in culinary arts. I work in a famous hotel in Tokyo for 4 years, I came here to establish my Japanese Restaurant and meet your son here. I propose to him first and I claimed that he is my fiancee. I knew that my race might be a hindrance to your expectation but…”-she stare at me and smile afterwards.
“But I love him because he is a warm person. He always appreciate the things I do. He might not say everything but his action shows what kind of man he is. He surpasses my expectation for the man that I wanted to marry.”-she said. We are surprised how honest she is while saying those.
“Wow. Welcome to the family.”-my parents said. Huh?
