"I should never have let you go, now I've lost you. I failed you Crystal " she said softly snapping out of her thoughts.
"I failed you" she yelled angrily and raised her hands to punch the mirror when a voice stopped her.
" what do you think you're doing" one of her other co-workers asked from the door with a frown on her face. Alicia just ignored her and walked out of the restroom.

"What happened lici, you spent a lot of time in there, I would have come to check on you but Evelyn beat me to it, are you alright?" Maya asked immediately she came out. Alicia just nodded and resumed her work.
" You don't look like you're fine, you know you can tell me what's on your mind right?"she asked further but when Alicia didn't say anything she sighed deeply and also resumed her work.
The Fernando Mansion
Bonnie was already getting ready for her supposed date with a blank look on her face, the maids dressing her had tried everything to make her smile but nothing was working.
"We're done young miss" one of the maids said drawing her attention.
"Thanks, you can leave now" she said staring at her reflection not bothering to look at the maids who made their way out.
'To think I don't even know the face of my supposed date' she thought when she was all alone. She was still sitting and staring at herself when her door flung open and her mom walked in,
"You look so gorgeous honey, make sure to wear a smile so Micheal doesn't think we're forcing you to do anything" her mom said with a wide smile.
"Micheal?, what a dumb name" Bonnie rolled eyes but when she saw her mom glaring at her she forced out a smile.
"Be nice ok" her mom said with a wider smile.
"How can you be so happy to sell out your own daughter" Bonnie snapped hating the smile on her mom's face.
"You'll understand and appreciate everything I'm doing for you when you're older, but for now, here's all you need to know about Micheal, go through it in the car on your way ok" her mom informed handing her a file before walking out.
"I should probably get going" Bonnie said getting her things and leaving her room. She met her driver already waiting for her, she got into the car and he drove out of the mansion.
Alicia's place
Alicia and maya got home a while ago and they're currently eating dinner together in silence.
"You've been silent since your talk with Davis, what did he say to you?" Maya broke the silence.
"I've always been silent, remember" Alicia answered not looking at her.
"Yeah but I thought you were starting to loosen up" maya said again while Alicia remained quiet.
" I'll be visiting my aunt next week and was wondering if you would go with me, it's just a one day trip, we go next week on Saturday morning and come back in the evening" Maya said hopefully.
"I don't know" Alicia said contemplating.
"Please, you and aunt are the only family I have and I really want you guys to know each other" maya added with her hands joined together.
"You consider me your family" Alicia asked finally looking up.
"Yeah, you're like my big sister" maya answered with a smile and Alicia smiled back genuinely.
" Fine I'll go with you" she said.
" Really" maya asked surprised.
"Why are you so surprised, don't you want me to go" Alicia asked with a raised eyebrow.
" I just didn't know you'd agree so quickly" Maya said why Alicia just shrugged.
Blue hearts restaurant
Bonnie was currently sitting down in the VIP section with her phone in hand.
"Gosh, what a prick, I thought mom said 6:30 sharp and now it's past seven and he isn't here, maybe I should just go back and tell mom he didn't show up" she said picking her bag and standing up when she collided with a hard surface, she would have fallen but two strong arms grabbed her by the waist and pulled her to himself. She pulled out immediately she was balanced and face the person with a frown.
"I'm sorry for bumping into you" She heard a deep male voice.
" You should watch where you're going I've had about enough crap for one day and trust me there's no room for one more" she said glaring at the guy before making to walk away when the guy grabbed her by the arm.
" What the hell, let go" she snapped.
" I'm Micheal Hernandez and i believe you're my date" The guy said while Bonnie just sighed frustratedly, she pulled her hand out of his and sat down.
" You're late" she said immediately Micheal sat down.
" I had some things to deal with before coming here" he replied.
"Whatever, let's get this over with" she said ushering with her hands for the waiter to come close.
" Hello, welcome to blue hearts restaurant what would you like to order" The waiter asked with a smile.
" I'll have a bowl of ice cream" she told him returning the smile.
"Ok, and you sir?" he asked Micheal who was glaring at him openly.
" Just give me your most expensive drink" he told the guy, his glare still intact. The waiter laughed awkwardly and went to bring their order, Bonnie noticed this and raised her eyebrows questionably.
"I didn't like the way he was smiling at you" he said while she just scoffed.
"Barely one date and you're feeling possessive" she said returning her gaze to her phone.
"I'm warming up" he replied with a smile. Soon their other came and they dug in with Micheal stealing glances from her occasionally.
The next day
A park
Alicia was currently sitting on a bench with Davis beside her. She got a call from Davis earlier asking if she had thought about his still valid offer and she had requested to meet with him, which is why they were currently here.
"I agree" she finally broke the silence.
