However, her face distorted the instant?she saw it was none other than Olivia, “What are you doing here?” She faced her immediately.
“I heard about what happened,” Olivia said.
“So?” Isabella wrapped her arm against her chest, “Are you here to laugh at me or to argue how much better you would be as his girlfriend?”
“If it was possible, I would have done that, but then I have my pride,” Olivia frowned, seeming offended by her comment, “And look, I’m sorry for what happened between us, can we please start over,”
“Start over as what?”
“Friends,”
Isabella chuckled mockingly when she heard that, her hand went to her mouth stifling the laughter, “I’m sorry but I don’t become friends with people who almost stole my boyfriend. I don’t trust you,”
“Neither do I trust you either,” She said to Isabella’s surprise.
“What?”
“You look like the type who would kill one for just looking his way,” She gestured to Pedro with a dip of her head.
“But then,” Olivia went on, “That’s what would make us great friends, we know the limitations and lines each of us shouldn’t cross, what did you say then?”
Isabella was in deep thought, what Olivia says does make sense, but then, she wasn’t big on making friends. It seems Pedro must have sensed her intention because the moment she tried to open her mouth to tell the girl she wasn’t interested in friendship – she was better off without her – Pedro tugged her hand and looked at her with those big puppy eyes.
“Ugh,” She groaned, running her hand through her hair, “I hate you, do you know that?”
Pedro grinned at her, “I know,” yet she leaned down to kiss him on the lips as Olivia turned the other way scratching the back of her head, this was awkward.
“I’ll leave you so you could have some rest,” Isabella patted him on the chest, he nodded and she rose to her feet.
“What?” Olivia asked with the kind of look she was giving her.
“Lead the way, do you think I’m about to leave you with my boyfriend,” Isabella told her straight-faced.
Olivia rolled her eyes, mumbling under her breath, “So much for trusting her,” Fine she couldn’t blame her anyway, she had tried to snatch her boyfriend once. However, no matter how insane she was, she would not force herself on a guy head over heels in love with another girl – she had thought Pedro had been bluffing then to avoid her.
“So, what do you want me to get for you as the first sign of our friendship?” Isabella asked the girl as soon as they were out.
Olivia looked at Isabella as if she was an alien, “Get me something? As in a gift? Why would you buy me a gift?”
“Don’t friends buy each other stuff?” Isabella asked, perplexed.
“Of course, they do but that shouldn’t be the first step in their relationship….” Olivia paused, realizing something. She turned to Isabella questioningly, “Have you had friends before?”
“Of course,” Isabella proudly announced.
“Who?”
“My cousin, Anabelle, and Pedro,”
“No, I mean, aside from family members,”
This time, the proud look was gone from Isabella’s face, now relaxed by a nervous one, “No?”
Olivia burst into laughter, “You can’t be serious!”
“Are you done?” Isabella’s expression changed. What was so funny about her not having friends? Not that one of the so-called friends dared to approach her anyway. The few who bravely tried lasted just a few hours after she sorted out their intention in being friends with her, they had run off with their tails between their legs afterward.
“Don’t worry,” Olivia wrapped her arm around her shoulder, “I’ll educate you adequately,” She began to lead her away until they came into the foyer to see a slight commotion.
“Did someone come?” Olivia pulled away from Isabella, going to investigate the reason for the sudden crowd.
“Who’s that woman?” Isabella pointed at the unfamiliar lady.
“Who?” Olivia inched her head to get a look, but her face changed afterward when she caught a glimpse of the woman.
“Who’s that?” Isabella asked her after the change in her expression.
“My mother,”
The third point of view:
What was he expecting? That she would feel an ounce of emotion after helping her with Fernandez? Though Emerald had helped her sincerely, the truth was that he had hoped deep down that she would somehow feel something for him.
Even if she doesn’t like him now, at the least her forgiveness would go a long way in cleansing his guilty heart. But then, he got no forgiveness nor her heart.
The man lay in his bed refusing to go out. He would make things awkward for her – it was already awkward for him – if we went out even though he doubted she was still around. Fernandez was the reason she came here, now the problem was settled, there was nothing to hold her back again; leaving was inevitable. But just to be sure, he remained in his room – not that he felt the urge to leave anyway.
Emerald tossed and turned in bed, he couldn’t sleep a wink. Deep down, he wanted to find her and press for the truth, does she really feel nothing for him? He had seen the way she looked at him… Damn! Just give up on it, man.
Just as he was contemplating his next move, the door snapped open and somewhere in his heart, he wished for some sort of miracle, that it was Cecil coming back to say something, anything. As pathetic as he was, he would accept her wishes.
However, Emerald’s face fell when he recognized that high shrill face. Fuck!
“Emerald darling!” Juliet sashayed over to him, her voice echoing in his head.
He scratched the back of his head, cursing his luck. Never did he think she would really come. This woman was none other than Olivia’s mother and a cousin to Sakuzi.
After the kids had fought days ago, he had called her to put her kid to order. Olivia was stubborn and hardly listened to others except for her mother and Sakuzi. Who knew that when she said she would be coming over, she really meant it.
Don’t get him wrong, Juliet was a?good woman but she was an attention seeker and the fact she had eyes on him.
