After All

Chapter 1

Ysabelle

New York City, USA

"Yes sir. Okay sir. Got it." I ended the call and sat down on my chair.

'Hay. Napaka-hassle. Grabe.'

Mr. Linne has always his way to push anyone into his peak of patience. I need to calm down. He's giving me more tasks to do for today and asked for something important. This is a conjoined project with an i-don't-know-yet company but he said that it's eligible. I think, it would be a help to get a promotion. This is my chance.

But I really hope it's not.. Hmm.. Okay, nevermind. 

Anyway, I'm here at my office making presentation for the upcoming meetings.

Typing...

The development of this project emphasizes the built and productio—

"Searle!!! Hey!" Ouch. My eardrums.

It's her again. The bitch.

My bestfriend.
I love her. Believe me.

"Hey, bitch! Can't you knock?" I smirked.

"Hey, bitch! Can't you knock? Your face!" She said. Ugh. This woman.

She sat at the couch firmly and looked at me very sharply.

"What?" I asked.

"What? You're asking me what? Seriously?" Huh?

"What am I gonna say?" I'm very clueless.

She sighed.

"I always wondering why up until now, you're still single. I mean, yes you have responsibility and you had your heart broken, but hey! It's almost 4 years ago! Get yourself a boyfriend, bitch!" She overacted.

"I'm okay. I'm single because I chose to. I want to focus on things that are very important today. Now that I have, you know." I stated.

"Yeah, I know. What am I saying is that, lighten up! You're unbelievable."

"I am." I winked at her.

"You're sick. Get yourself a doctor. Anyway, speaking of doctors. Well, flash news! I found one! Hmm. I could still imagine how good he was!" She looked up like really imagining things.

"Who's this guy? Let me guess, you met this at the club and had a very steamy one night stand? Am I right?" I suspected. This woman.

"Well, for your info, we met at the church and had lunch and then... Why so judgemental? You bitch!" I laughed.

They had sex. I presumed.

"So, how is it? Big, huh?" I sharply have an eye-to-eye with her.

"Eww."

"Don't act as if you're a virgin, bitch!"

"Well, we're tie!" Hands-up! I surrender.

"So, how is it, nga?"

"As you imagined. Well, he's hot and hard. I even thought that he's a stripper." Again, we both laughed.

"You said that he's a doctor? Where? I mean, where exactly?" I'm curious. There's a possiblity that. Again, nevermind.

"Well, I don't know. I just know that he's a doctor. He-he."

"What? You whore! You had sex but you don't know who he truly is! What if he had a transmitted disease, huh?"

"Don't be so naive, Searle. Like I said, he's a doctor. He knows how to take good care of people, especially when we are broken." She said dramatically.

This woman is insane. Please, a rock to smash her head.

"Don't look at me like that as if I'm the only woman who spreads her legs to a very hot guy. We both know that." She winked.

"You filthy bitch! Don't make me as an example!" She chuckled.

"I'm not! You're so defensive! Anyway, How about you? I really came here to ask you about last night. What happened, huh?" I knew she would bring that up.

"Christoph is a nice guy. Well, he's funny and charming that any woman would be attracted of." I said humbly.

"And then..." She said. I trust she wanted to hear something.

"What?" I asked.

"What? You're asking me what? Stop being innocent! We're not getting any younger! You will look ten years older than your age, duh!" She rolled her eyes.

I sighed.

"I know what you're telling, Live. Christoph is a very fine guy. He's a very dear friend. I mean, yeah, he's any woman's dream. But, it's just that, I'm not ready yet."

"Okay, fine. I understand. I'm just concern.  You deserve someone who will spend the rest of his life with you. You deserve to be happy after all."

This is what I love her. She's more than a friend. She's a family.

"I appreciated that. Thank you for being a sister to me. As always."

"Ahhhh. I'm gonna cry." She acted wiping her tears.

We both laughed until our stomach ache and we've lost control of our breaths.

Olive Claflin. My bestfriend.

Love. Hmm. Not this time yet, I guess.

(Flashback)

3 years ago

"Ohh, please, please." I begged.

"Scream my name, love. Scream my name." And when he inserted his shaft inside me, I screamed.

'It hurts, fuck.'

"Moan my name, love." He went faster and faster until we reached our climax.

"King, King! Ahhh! Please!"

"Catherine, fuck, fuck, I love you."

I felt my tears ran down my face. I felt trashed.

Catherine, his first love.

(End of Flashback)

"Ms. Ysabelle, you're in." Ms. Devour stated that made me out-reminisce.

"Yes. 5 minutes, please." I smiled.

"Okay, Miss." She agreed.

The pain feels like it just happened yesterday. But I think, it's much better now. I supposed. I have him.
My strength. My love.

I composed myself and unintentionally looked to the plaque at my table.
