ANNATheodore and I were currently standing in front of one of the most expensive brand stores and I stood still, mentally contemplating whether or not to go in. I had told him a few days ago that I wanted to go shopping for new clothes but that I didn't think I could budget to get new clothes until I had gotten an allowance from my parents. I also didn't want to collect any money from Alice even though she offered to give me an allowance but I refused because it didn't seem right to me. I had just told him about the situation because he and I were talking about random things and I didn't expect him to take it to heart or anything like that but suddenly he showed up at my place earlier today and told me to get in the car with him. I had asked him several times to tell me where we were headed but he didn't say anything and now all of a sudden, we arrived here. "I don't understand what's going through that head of yours, Theodore. I already said that I didn't have money to do any sho

TWO YEARS LATER ANNA"Congratulations baby sis!" Alice squealed behind me in excitement and I turned around to look at her with a smile on my face."You have no idea how proud I am of you right sweetie. My little sister is officially a graduate," Alice said, pulling me in for a hug and I hugged her back tightly. Today was my graduation and I was graduating with a 4.1 CGPA in business administration and I couldn't be more proud of myself. Even though I wanted a higher CGPA, I was still proud that I did this good and I was very satisfied. I knew how hard I struggled to keep my mind together and make sure that I did well because studying wasn't easy for me at first but I had to learn how to keep things in my head and enjoy studying and the fact that I was graduating today made me feel very happy and proud that I had come this far without giving up. Alice and I were talking and she kept going on and on about how smart I was and how proud she was but we were both distracted when I hear

"Why do I feel you are avoiding me?" a voice said from behind me as I made my way to where I could get water. As soon as I heard the voice, I immediately recognised who it belonged to and I felt a cold shiver run down my spine. Alejandro moved from behind me and appeared in front of me but he had made sure to leave a reasonable distance between us. I was very happy that he knew that I was avoiding him but when I couldn't understand was why he wasn't doing the same thing since he knew."No offence Alejandro but since you already know that I'm avoiding you, why don't you just take a hint and do the same thing," I said to him, trying not to sound too impatient even though I was. "Sorry about that Anna but the thing is, I'm not very good at taking hints especially not from someone who has been stealing glances at me all through the evening," he said and I almost choked on my tongue. "Stealing glances at you? Are you kidding me?" I scoffed."You're unbelievable Alejandro. What makes yo

I knew that she was making sense and I knew that she wanted the best for me but all of this was only making me feel even more like a terrible person. The fact that I still harboured feelings for Alejandro was making me feel very angry with myself because it's been over two years now and I expected to have gotten over it. Alejandro didn't even bother to be subtle with his staring and every time I caught his eye, it almost felt like he was indirectly trying to tell me to come to the room that he had asked me to come to earlier. I couldn't get my mind off the fact that he had invited me into that room because my feelings for him were still very strong and I was very curious to know what he had to say to me. At the same time, I was also aware of the fact that going in there wasn't the best idea especially since I knew that should anything happen between us while we are in that room, I wouldn't be able to control myself and I would end up finding myself in the same situation that I was i

ANNA I was trying hard not to feel frustrated but I couldn't help but be frustrated by the fact that he was doing something like this to me and was saying things like this to me even after I tried so hard to stop thinking about him and get myself together again. I also couldn't help but wonder if he didn't feel any sort of guilt toward Alice because I was currently feeling so guilty that I was in this position with him but he seemed to be very nonchalant about it. "For goodness sake Alejandro, you are a married man. You really shouldn't be here saying things like this to me especially when you're married to someone else already," I said to him, hoping that you would realise that he was a married man and that doing something like this to my sister was very unfair on his part."You're making it seem like I just got married yesterday Anna. I've been married for a while now but that didn't stop us from being together, did it? Why don't you just give yourself a chance to be happy by ac
