want me to get my fairytale ending and they believe that will only happen with Rowan. Why couldn’t they understand that just because they want him to love me doesn’t
make it a reality?
Sure, Rowan was acting differently, but I believe it’s just a phase. Men like what they can’t have. He wants me now because he can’t have me. Soon enough he’ll get bored of the chase and go back to his true love. If I give in I’ll be left in another load of heartbreak after he realizes I am not what he wants.
“Let’s just focus on what we came here for” I tell them after silence descends on us.
“Alright” Corrine replies.
“Fine” Letty grumbles.
I sigh in relief. Happy they were willing to let it go for now. I know Letty will look for an opportunity to bring
it up again, but I’ll deal with it when she does.
“Can we go to an ice cream shop or something? For some reason this fancy ass place is getting on my
nerves with all the snobbish waiters and waitresses” Letty says out of nowhere.
“We could go to my restaurant” Corrine adds.
I don’t know why they didn’t think of that in the first place. Instead of saying anything, I keep quiet.
“Nah. Have you ever been to an ice cream shop or a fast food restaurant?” Letty turns to face Corrine whose eyes shift nervously.
She shakes her head. “Not really”
“Great. Today is your lucky day. We’ll have lunch at a fast food restaurant then have a froyo or ice cream at an ice cream shop, then we’ll head to your office to discuss our business progress so far”
I smile at the deer caught in headlights look that Corrine has plastered on her face. It’s time we introduce her to the normal world. Which in my opinion is way better than the stuck up people who surround us.
Letty pulls Corrine up, while I stand up.
“What if I get food poisoning? I heard that such restaurants aren’t entirely hygienic when they handle food.” Corrine complains as she tries to wiggle out of Letty’s grasp.
“So what? You’ll get a bad case of diarrhea and after a few days of pooping your intestines
Laughing, I walk behind them as I listen to their banter. It was so refreshing.
I was contemplating on how thankful I am for having such friends, when her bitter voice kills every single
joy I was feeling.
“Look what we have here? It’s the pregnant whore”
I turn to my side to find Christine staring at me with nothing but hatred in her eyes.
enough, Emma was standing right next to her.
As if that wasn’t
I close my eyes and let out a breath while wondering why the hell did god hate me so much,
