“I thought you wouldn't make it” nessa said as she pulled me for a warm hug, ‘ thanks for believing in mom, even if she's mean and half of what that woman said seemed too real to be a lie, i promise you she wouldn't leave’’ a glum look had settled on my face, she must have sensed the uneasiness.
“ cheer up”
“From the first day i saw you, i knew you were true friends, moms so lucky to have you,” she said,still hugging me,
“The first day you saw me, you insulted me, and attempted breaking my testicles” rolling my eyes i peel her off my body.
“Isn't that beautiful, we bonded the first day?”
Sigh
The annoying giggle was back as she blew a kiss on her way into the restaurant.
Well thats covered i guess, there's no doubt in my family, the world family gives me goosebumps. The first real thing I had close to a family, i won’t let no stranger come in between that, never, even if it has to prove my love each time.
Looking around me, it's all going just fine. Sales have been going just fine, and customers are just the perfect amount. As always, with the scale of income, I would be able to get supplies for this month, and also remit my share of interest to Sinclair as the end of the bargain we made.
And just as she said, her bargain made me work harder, boosting my creativity, more of a spike of new ideas each day, distracted by shuffling foot noise behind me, only one person has such pitapat movement
“look, I guess Adonis break is over, he's calling” nessa said rushing behind me,
“ havn’t you blocked him already?” Her puppy dog eyes conveyed guilt able to quench the hatred fuming down my gut already, shes just unbelievable, its just a goddamn click away from all this shit, and she decides to make a fuss out of it.
I hate him already, he calls at the wrong time, bad at everything even his timing, jealousy and possessiveness finds its way in my mind, as Iimagined her with another man, not just another man, some rich bastard, who's a puppet to a wealthy old bastard, it's just so painful, such a joyful being is being diminished by their toxic life.
“ answer” exasperated, apologetically she smirked, yeah yeah we have all been in love, get over it, “ lets sit” she whispered pulling my hands, it still makes no sense, and it's just so hard to comprehend, i watch her hold the phone with care shes just so interested in what ever he has to utter.
Eww.
“ hey babe, guess what, I am back!;’ he said faking excitement, i could tell he came back hours before calling,
“ nice” she relied, almost elated,
Stupid,
“ And i got you those rock thingies you like, and a special dress, I bet you would love to see it,” he said. She smiled mockingly, “ and just wait till i tell you the news i that's going to bust your mind, why don't we meet at our favorite spot, you know the place right?” he said grinning over the phone, i could tell he had sense her weakness already an it amuses him.
Damn i just want to yank him then shove some blows down his mouth, he wouldn't tell a lie in his life after that.
I could sense her melt at her imaginative thoughts, where could this place be, that's making her caramel colored cheek, heat with redness, “ okay, would be there soon,” she said ending the call, he calls back immediately, “no I love you?” he said in a whiny voice, rolling my eyes sick and tired of this facade of love going on,
Damn this is a fucking pick up line
“ hey nessa quit this, you know too well that this dude is doing this to get something from you this time around”
My voiceless whispers had succeeded in making her eyes wet with tears, it still hurts, i watch her conceal her pain, by wiping her palm over her eyes, giving the classic ‘ i am fine’ look
“ hey people are here, i won't want them thinking, i know an adult baby” I said, wiping her tears with my thumb, “You will heal, I know it's a raw wound, but let's do it like this, you beat your fear, just like i just did, and you earn the golden medal of being my best friend, i would give you a piggy back ride for the rest of your life, “
“ You are not seriously”
She stifled a smile as she wipes her red eyes, it was a senseless statement, but i can't be seruous right now, can I?
“How do you know i love piggy back rides?”
“Because you are not so different from Sinclair, she loves rides’ i said grinning mischievously, as a warm sensation swept across my torso damn i love that woman, nessa arched her brow in confusion,
“Just be there for me like you always have been. That's good enough for a good deal, i can't loose adonis, and you too” she said in a despondent manner, “I have come to stay and that final.”
“ i wish a man loved me the way you love mom, i would be the luckiest woman there is” she said, her eye glittering for a second,almost animated, but wishes arent horses,
Hmm rides
But if he could just see with her heart not her eyes, i bet she wou;ld find someone who would get butterflies just seeing her.
Even the realization of having her would make him grateful,and thats certain.
“ so whats next , should i go?”
“ yes, i want to know the surprise he has for you, and how surprised he would be knowing you are no longer involved in his charade” she smirks whipping her eyes again,
“ i would be inside the car, with a mic and a tablet, watching you, if he tries something stupid i would come after him”
“ Deal?’’
“ Deal”

Ridig on a steady pace, my thought drift back to what the favorite place was, blooms pack, i named it that, my feeling bloomed there, the fragile femine hands of adonis on mine while we stared at animals , it was our confort zone, cried there, laughd there, fornicated there, sweet memories
Sigh
When mom made me sad, or when shes down after a depressing night, and life seems unbearable for me, i just go there, staring at peacock showcasing their feathers, soothing, as always even mere thoughts of perfection alms my nerves .
And if there was anyone aware of such perfection it was adnonis , i could barely think of something new around him.
But why would he hurt me?
Packed outside the garden, its steel gates were like a bridge to my past, i never visited here unless i was down, why would adonis want me here, looking beside me, his car was packed not far from the available spot obviously left for me , a white ferarie , shiny like it was newly bought frpm the company .
Tinted glass as alway, and a aura to die for,
Sigh
Turning norrth, my eyes fell on a familiar face, constant in my nightmares, and a smile i haven't seen in a while
Adonis Hansley himself was smiling at me, in person with his kneel bent halfway down, and a shiny box in his hands, obviously containing a ring, as it reflected under the warm sun.
‘WILL YOU MARRY ME NESSA’
Fuck i am screwed
