"Ashley baby, honey, buttercup. Don't tell me you are angry at me huh? Come on, you know I had to pick up the call." Mark said holding onto the hands of the angry Ashley.
"Tell me Mark huh, how long do I have to accept this, huh? I don't like sharing you with someone else. When are you going to end it with her huh, when?" She almost yelled that last 'when'.
"Come on Ash, try to understand me. I just can't end things with her like that."
"You can't?? Do you even love me at all? huh? Because if you do, you would definitely have ended things with her a long time ago!!" She says, forcefully removing her hands from his.
"I love you Ash and you know that. But Vanessa and I have been together since highschool. I can't just end things with her that easily for no reason." He said desperately trying to make her reason with him.
"For no reason?? What do you mean for no reason, is your love for me not reason enough huh? Tell me. Or do you still have some leftover feelings for her?" She arched a brow as she seriously asked him this question.
"N_No_ of_of course not. My feelings for her died long before I met you. But I couldn't end things with her because their was actually not any real reason for us to break up. Please just try to understand me huh, okay, look at me." He turns her pouting face to his, and cups it with his hands.
"Listen I know it's not easy for you, but just bare with me for a while huh? I promise to end things with her very soon."
"How soon?"
"Very soon, I promise. Now stop being angry, you know I don't like it when your face is all wrinkled up hmm.... He pushes out his lips in a duck mouth and fakes pouting... Seeing his face made her chuckle lightly, she gives him a little nudge on the chest...
Okay fine... Very soon, but promise to not use more than an hour on your date.. Promise you would come running back to me... She says holding onto his tie...
I promise, cross my heart hope to die... He raises his hands like a boy scout...
You better keep that promise... She slowly moves her hands down his chest, and slowly to his waist, till she reached his groin, slowly moving her hands on the bulging .... because I have a lot of crazy stuff I want to show you tonight, and that is only possible if you come back to me on time... He was already moaning from her touch., this was why he had fallen for her...
Apart from the fact that Ashley was crazy beautiful, this.., this was one of the reasons he fell for her... She just knew how to make him go crazy.... Sometimes, she didn't have to touch him before he was crazily hard on, just looking at her made him go wild..
But with Vanessa, she had at some point become boring... Vanessa was beautiful yes, but she could no longer cause a fire in his heart... And sex with Ashley was on a whole different level, every night they spent together, brought a new kind of fun.. A new kind of crazy... But with Vanessa, it had become more like a chore... One that he could decide when he wanted to do it... One that he had gradually grown tired of doing....
(I'm sorry van, but I don't think I love you anymore) he thought to himself.....
********************
Vanessa didn't really have anything to do that day in the school... After she spoke with her students, she went around the school, taking note of places and people... She met her colleagues, got to know their names and subjects..
In a little while, work hours were over, and it was time to go see Mark.. Oh it feels like ages since she last saw him.. She hasn't seen him for almost two weeks straight... She offered to drop by the office sometime, but he refused stating that he had a lot of work to do and that he was very busy...
So meeting with him today made her have butterflies in her tummy... They were literally growling inside her stomach.. Oh no wait, that's just her stomach indicating that it is empty.. She didn't eat anything since. She just looked around the schools cafeteria without taking a bite of anything...
She thought of going home and making something for herself, but she changed her mind.. She did not want anything that would make her late for her date with, well you know who....
So she just bought some roadside hamburger....
She got home, and that was when she was suddenly plagued with the question of what to wear for her date night....
The drive from the school to her house was almost an hour, and she left the school by 3:10. So by the time she got home, it was not even four yet, so technically she still had a lot of time before 8pm, but that didn't stop her from panicking..
It's been two weeks... Two weeks, she kept on repeating to herself.... You have to look good for Mark... She tore through everything she had in her closet, but nothing seemed right..
She even went digging through Jenny's clothes, but they were not right either....
She took a yellow fitted gown, to her that one looked too bright.. Then she picked on of Jenny's black knee-length gown, this one is too colorless.. She said... Nothing seemed right..
She looked at the time, it was already 5:30...she had spent almost two hours going through clothes, and yet she did not see anyone fit enough for a date with her almighty Mark...
When suddenly, her eye caught a peach coloured floral chiffon gown.. Her eyes widened and a huge smile was stuck on her face... It was like she had seen the holy grail or something..
"it's perfect" she mumbles to herself as she holds it up in front of the mirror....
She dived into the bathroom for it was already 6pm, she just washed up as quickly as she could, then dried her hair even faster... She put on some light makeup, curled her hair.. She used her hand to feel if it was bouncy enough... She wore the floral dress, and stood in front of the mirror victoriously.. It was done... She looked fabulous... The stars in the night sky could not compare to how she looked now....
It was almost 7pm now, so she picks a pair of black open toe heels.. And a black handbag to go with it.. Then she rushed out of the house...
I have a date!!!!.... She thought to herself happily.
Where she worked right now was close to "there usual spot"... So it took one hour to get there ..

"Are you that happy to see your grandma huh?? The man sitting next to her said.... Let's also call him daddy for now..
" yes daddy, it's been so long since I've seen grandma... I only get to see her once in awhile so I am so happy, I can't wait to see her".... Prayer girl says...
"well then sweetie hold on tight, because we are almost there.....
