Arabella!!!
"They seem to be loving your Coffee," Evie said entering the room and taking a seat next to Amanda.Zoe smiles but didn't say a word, she carries the cup of coffee and offers to Amanda, "Here is your command, Aunt" "Hmm, thanks" Amanda accepts, brings it close to her nose and inhales its sweet aroma, "it smells great!" She comments."I told you, just have a sip you will surely confess she is the best in existence" Evie beams."Hmm, you are right!" Amanda exclaims, "It tastes wonderful" she was loving it. "How come you are this gifted yet you don't make use of it?" She questions."I rather use it to please the people around me" Zoe voiced. She doesn't like gaining unnecessary attention." Why? You can work here in your free time... Just in case you want to, though I'd love you to give it a thought " Amanda didn't want to impose or make her feel uncomfortable.It's better she deliberately offers her help and not the other way around.Zoe chuckles, " I'll see about that! " She pulls out

hurts!
"Zoe, I'm back," Evie said, interrupting the two excited talkers."Hmm, you get some rest" Zoe simply informs and returns her attention to Arabella.Evie stood there perplexed and heartbroken, how can Zoe shoo her away as if she isn't important? "It's boring inside, can I" She was caught off by Zoe"Evie? Don't!" Zoe wasn't in the mood for any of her interruptions or nagging.Evie's face drops, she glances at Arabella then back at Zoe and nods, "Sorry!" She turns and leaves.Her mood was sour alongside the atmosphere. Since Zoe refuses to give her attention, she should use her time doing what she wants.Without a care about her health, she walks to the sink and starts cleaning the cups.Back at the table, Arabella couldn't stop laughing at Zoe."She is cute, you know how clingy she was just now," She said in between her laughter."How did you say you met her?" She demands after her laughter died down."You know I hate this," Zoe complains."Fine, I won't press on. But I think you bet

Jealousy.
"I'm sorry, Aunt, won't be able to spend much time with you here at the café" Evie informs wiping her hands with the hand towel."I've got to be somewhere with Zoe "she adds, and walks to the seat next to the table."Hmm, I know" Came Amanda's short response."You do?" Evie was surprised.Of course, that's why I am your aunt. Amanda started the fact, "before anything happens in your life, I know about it," she adds.Evie sighs, "There is no way I can hide my nakedness before you," she jokes."I've seen more than enough to know which belongs to my baby" Amanda chuckles, walks to the sink and washes clean her hands."Don't be so confident, everything changes you know" Evie mutters."Changes only happen if that person wishes to be changed," Amanda stated."By the way, at what time are you guys leaving?" She changed the topic."Now!" Zoe spoke out as she walked into the room. "Just in time" Amanda's face brightens up.Evie stood up as soon as she saw Zoe, she looked a little nervous and

not a baby.
"more like Zoe" Arabella mutters under her breath, eyes glued to where Zoe stood."I guess your closeness is more than just a friend" Evie blurt without thinking."Excuse me!!" Arabella was taken aback by her questions.Evie clears her throat at the realization of what she might be thinking, "not like that, what I mean is, you guys look more like sisters than besties" she explains."Oh!" Arabella exclaimed with a sigh of relief, "You can say that our years of friendship define our bond." She gave a sweet smile.Evie returns the smile, "Right"."Here is your drink" Zoe spoke out, handing Evie a soft cocktail drink. "Simple non-alcoholic drink for a softy" she teased.Evie couldn't hold her blush, "I'm not that soft you know, " she complains."Says a baby" Zoe chuckles and sips down her drink.Arabella on the other hand silently watched them talk with an expression that couldn't be described."I'm not a baby!" Evie pouts and hits lightly on Zoe's arms feeling embarrassed."Sure?" Zoe ra

you never see it, do you?
The entire room was engulfed in total silence, everyone staring, waiting for Zoe to start.Zoe glanced at Arabella before she locked gaze with Evie, the smile on Evie's face was enough to bring a simple and genuine smile to her lips.She turns her attention to the crowd, "hi" she speaks out unsure of what to say. "I-i am honored to be given a chance to sing to y'all, hope you enjoy the song".With that, she walks to where the piano lay, her long slender fingers dancing on the keys immersing the room with the sound of a beautiful melody as she sings.It was the song titled " Falling " by Harry Styles.It's been like forever since Arabella heard her best and childhood friend sing and hearing her now made her realize just how distant they've become.Without realizing it, tears rolled down her cheeks, she stayed glued to the girl on the stage. Her heart aches for unknown reasons and she can swear she never thought she'd feel this hurt.Usually, Zoe always stares at her while singing but i

Why do I choke on your joy?
Can you let go and see me instead? Can I be the one you see and want to be there with all the time? Can I?" Evie asked in tears, staring at the frozen Zoe."Of course, it's a no. I've known long enough and I wonder why it hurts" She turns and starts walking away."Why me? I can't be all you want" Zoe cries out, staring at Evie's excited back."I've never wanted you to be enough or perfect 'cause I neither am... I just want you to see me, accept me and love me... Is that too much to ask for?" Evie retorts."What if it doesn't work? What if we never get an Us in this?" Zoe wasn't sure of her feelings and desires and she was scared of hurting her.Evie turns around and takes counting strides toward Zoe. "Why not try and see if we are good or not? You never know what awaits us" Zoe had always known Evie to be an optimist but never would she have thought she would willingly throw herself for an experiment they both ain't sure of the end product." But it's ok, I get it... You don't wish t

Pretends.
It's been close to a week now and Arabella was still trying to accept herself and her mistakes.

There wasn't a doubt in her identity as she was quickly led to the elevator leading directly to the fifth floor where Jack's office is.She steps out of the elevator as soon as it stops, walks through the corridor and only stops when she is before his office door.She takes in a deep breath, calming her worried and anxious mind. There is no way she c

Letting go!
Evie sits on the table not far from the door as her gaze stays fixed at the door. "You've been sitting there all day, why not take a break?" Amanda questions walking to the table."I don't want to" Evie denies, "she promised to be here today" she adds.Amanda sighs, taking the seat next to her, "what if she's tied up with something important? She can't just rush to you because of a mere promise" she explains.Evie didn't respond, her gaze never left the entrance. Zoe promised to come over and treat her to lunch and it's almost time she hasn't shown up yet." She's gonna make it" Evie grumbles in her stomach, not willing to accept something that might be so important to keep Zoe from fulfilling her promise." So positive "Amanda chuckles." Hmm, she will come," Evie repeats, with an optimistic face.Amanda stares at her for a long time before saying, "Why not try finding out what's keeping her rather than waiting? I'm so done with that face you have on" she grumbles and leaves.Evie

Apologies
"I'm sorry for hurting you all these years, for judging you and leaving you when you needed me most" Arabella cries in pity."You did nothing wrong" Zoe tries to coax but Arabella is way too out of the league."No, I'm a bad person. I ignored your love for another, I bluntly hurt your feelings saying there will never be an Us. I caused you pain for years yet you never curse or judge me. I walk away from your life but you always stood by me and never made me feel less of the person I've always been to you" she explains in tears."You were doing just fine without me, so I was until I saw you after years of distance looking so happy with Evie. I didn't know why but I felt jealous, I felt hurt. Maybe I'm just selfish, maybe I just want everything for me" she cries."I never realized until I saw you two, just then I understood how egoist I am. Seeing you two made me feel things I've never felt before, not even for Rowan or Jack. I couldn't stand you two, that's why I left when you were sin
