want me to get my fairytale ending and they believe that will only happen with Rowan. Why couldnât they understand that just because they want him to love me doesnât make it a reality?
Sure, Rowan was acting differently, but I believe itâs just a phase. Men like what they canât have. He wants me now because he canât have me. Soon enough heâll get bored of the chase and go back to his true love. If I give in Iâll be left in another load of heartbreak after he realizes I am not what he wants.
âLetâs just focus on what we came here forâ I tell them after silence descends on us.
âAlrightâ Corrine replies.
âFineâ 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 Iâll deal with it when she does.
âCan 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 waitressesâ Letty says out of nowhere.
âWe could go to my restaurantâ Corrine adds.
I donât know why they didnât think of that in the first place. Instead of saying anything, I keep quiet.
âNah. Have you ever been to an ice cream shop or a fast food restaurant?â Letty turns to face Corrine whose eyes shift nervously.
She shakes her head. âNot reallyâ
âGreat. Today is your lucky day. Weâll have lunch at a fast food restaurant then have a froyo or ice cream at an ice cream shop, then weâll head to your office to discuss our business progress so farâ
I smile at the deer caught in headlights look that Corrine has plastered on her face. Itâs 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.
âWhat if I get food poisoning? I heard that such restaurants arenât entirely hygienic when they handle food.â Corrine complains as she tries to wiggle out of Lettyâs grasp.
âSo what? Youâll 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.
âLook what we have here? Itâs the pregnant whoreâ
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 wasnât I close my eyes and let out a breath while wondering why the hell did god hate me so much,
