"Hey"
"Um, hey?"
"Can I come in?"
"Do you need my help with anything?"
"No Trina, I just wanna talk"
"Oh okay. Come in then"
"How are you?"
"I'm okay Sir"
"Ugh. You know I hate it when you call me Sir, right?"
"Well. I have no other choice sir. Its not in my place to call you by your name as I am only a maid"
"Again with that Trina. You're not just a maid. You're gradually becoming the sister my brothers and I never had"
"Still I believe I have no right to call you by your name"
"You'll eventually have to Trina. Sooner or later"
"Until then sir"
"Until then. So... What are you up to huh? Am I interrupting anything?"
"Not really sir. Was just about to lay down when you knocked. Um pls take a seat, if you want" she said pointing to her bed
"Thank you. I thought you'd never ask me to seat"
"Sorry" she said blushing
"You're really pretty. Have I told you that before?"
"Yes sir. You mentioned it once"
Tristan had tried to avoid and ignore her but still he found himself in her room and on her bed, stating the obvious and trying not to seem like a creep in the process
"Yeah its true though"
"Thank you sir"
"My pleasure"
"Um... So where's ms Kate?" She asked taking a seat beside him. Though there was a reasonable amount of space between them
"She left. Had somewhere to be"
"Oh. And when will she be coming back?"
"I really don't know. We'll be seeing each other though. Just don't know when next she'll spend the night here"
"Oh okay. She seems like a really nice person. You're lucky to have her sir"
"Oh thank you Trina. So nice of you to point that out"
"Um sir, I know I have no right to say this and i'm only just 16 and I've only watched a few movies in my life but I think its pretty obvious that you don't like her as much as she likes you"
"Oh really? What makes you say so?"
"Well...Last night, when she came in and threw herself at you, you didn't seem as excited as she was. And when you asked her to go to the dinning table so you'll serve her, she kissed you and your facial expression wasn't so friendly. I.. I don't know sir, maybe I'm just seeing things. Please forgive me"
"Its okay Trina you don't have to apologize. The thing is, Kate and I have been through a lot together you know. Its quite exhausting. And yesterday was the first time we had seen and talked in a while because of some issues. I had no idea I didn't seem excited because I kinda was"
"Like I said I must have been seeing things sir. Maybe one day I'll understand"
"Yeah, you would. Sooner or later" he said looking into her eyes. "Um I gotta go" he said getting up as the situation was becoming a bit too awkward.

"So how was your night?" Bella asked her friend as she walked into their one room apartment looking bright and happy "no need for you to answer. I can tell it was wonderful"
"Oh girl you have no idea!!. The only issue is that I had to pretend to be a goody-two-shoes, even had to set the table and interact with their maid"
"I see. If only his parents knew you where such a bitch huh?"
"They'd never approve of my relationship with their son. His dad doesn't even seem to like me so much"
"I thought its always the mothers that disapprove of her son's relationship with a girl because she seems poor, wretched and like a gold digger?"
"Ouch Bella that hurt"
"No offence girl" she said laughing "I'm so hungry though, how about you cook up something delicious for us to eat"
"Hey... I'm the one that just got home. I deserve to be served and not the other way round"
"Wanna order pizza?"
"That'll be great".
" I'll do that right away"
"I'll go shower before the pizza arrives"
"Better be quick. We have a lot of catching up to do. I wanna know everything"
"Bella it was just one night"
"Doesn't matter"
"Okay, I'm done showering" Kate said taking a seat next to Bella
"So... Common let me hear it... What went down"
"Well, we were almost about to have sex five minutes after I arrived but his brother interrupted and I was barely wearing anything at that moment"
"Oh no. That's awful. Problems of having to live with your family"
"And then we came down for dinner after I said hi to his dad and after dinner, I gave him a show wearing my brand new lingerie. And we had so much sex and that was it"
"Ohhh you bad girl"
"Can't blame me. That guy drives me crazy"
"I can imagine"
"He's parents travelled this morning and won't be back for like a month though"
"Why?"
"Went on vacation. Can you believe it?"
"Does that mean you'd move in with him till they get back?"
"I don't know girl. I don't wanna seem too desperate so I'll try to make him ask me to come stay with him instead"
"Yeah that's better. You're leaving the life girl"
"Oh please. He hasn't put a ring on it yet"
"He will soon girl. Just keep being a good girl and soon you'll hear your own wedding bells"
"That'll be wonderful, wouldn't it?"
"Yes girl. I'll definitely be your maid of honour though"
"Bella you're like my only female friend. Of course it'll be you"

"Come here Trina" he said holding her firmly by her waist "you have no idea how long I've wanted to do this"
"I think I do Tristan"
"Oh really? How so?"
"Because I've wanted this for so long also. I've had so many sleepless nights thinking about what it'll feel like to be with you. And here I am, about to find out"
"Life's full of surprises huh?"
"One would have never expected... Sir"
"Sir? Um Tris... Master?"
"Ugh Trina? What's going on?"
"Sir you asked for a cup of coffee 10 minutes ago"
"Oh I did?"
"Yes sir"
"I'm so sorry... I must've fallen asleep. I'm so tired"
"Exactly why you asked for the coffee sir. Said you needed something to keep you wide awake"
"Um alright. Drop it there" he said pointing to a mini table next to his gigantic wardrobe
"Any thing else sir?"
"No Trina. You can go"
"Okay sir"
He picked up his cup of coffee and took a sip as he watched Trina close the door behind her. He thought he had stopped fantasizing over her but there he was, dreaming about her.
"This has to stop" he told himself
"Are you talking to yourself?" Richard asked walking into Tristan's room. Seems he had picked up Tristan's voice
"Um no dude. Was just rapping"
"Rapping huh?"
"Yeah. What's your business? What do you want dude I'm trying to sleep"
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah. Why ask?"
"You literally have a cup of coffee in your hand right now and you claim you're trying to sleep? What's going on in your head dude"
"Um... Don't blame me bro, I'm just stressed out"
"Stressed out? You haven't done anything in days"
"I can be mentally stressed out you know"
"Oh, I see. So what could be mentally stressing you out man? Wanna share?"
"Nothing really. Just Kate"
"And..."
"And no one dude, just Kate"
"You sure?"
"Ugh Trina also dude. Like girl just keeps flashing through my mind. And now I'm dreaming about her"
"Oh is that so"
"I don't know what's going on but it has to stop"
"Can I give you advice?"
"Sure"
"Invite Kate to come live with you till mom and dad come back from their vacation"
"Is that a good idea?"
"Yeah, she's so clingy and with her around, you wouldn't have time to think about Trina"
"You have a point bro. But won't mom and dad have a problem with this?"
"Only if they find out, right?"
"Alright. I'll think about it and then I'll invite her. But I don't know if I'll be able to stand her for a whole month, she's hand full you know"
"I guess well have to find out if you'll be able to stand her"
