MARRY ME NOW

I got to my car and drove to my house. I looked at the time 4:30 pm. I drove for 10mins before reaching my place. As usual, the house was noisy from Anne’s screams.

I opened the door to see Anne running everywhere in the house, Zara ran behind her. She stopped when she noticed my presence.

“Mommy!” Anne shouted running towards me. I bent down and opened my arms for her to come in. Running into my arms, she hugged me.

I missed her so much. “How are you baby?” I asked.

“Pine.” She replied grinning, showing her small set of teeth. “What were you guys doing?” I asked her.

“Playing, come mommy.” She replied inviting me to play with them. And just like that, we played. We were technically running around the house.

After some time, I asked Zara to go home and asked if she could spend the tonight with Anne. She happily agreed.

That didn’t stop Anne from playing though.

Anne’s giggles filled the house. Giggling along with her, we fell on the couch. “Baby?” I called sitting up.

“Yes, mommy?” She replied.

“What are you doing?” I asked chuckling, her hand was dug deep in my bag.

“Nothing.” She replied.

“Nothing?” I asked.

“Hmm.” She replied.

“Doesn’t seem like nothing, come here, where did you learn how to lie? Silly girl.” I said placing her on my lap. Her face towards me. Bring my face to her belly, I tickle her. She giggled squealing.

“You’re going to lie again?”

“No!” She let out. I stopped.

I looked at the time. 5:10 pm. “Okay baby, I’d go prepare dinner, hmm?” I said.

“Hmm.” She hummed in reply. I left her to go prepare dinner. 20mins later, I was done.

“Let’s watch Dora the Explorer!” Anne suddenly exclaimed. She jumped down from the chair I placed her, and she ran towards the living room.

“Anne!” I called. She didn’t answer. She just got done eating and she’s already running around. I sighed clearing the table.

I went to the living room when I was done. I spotted Anne on a chair, sitting comfortably with a bowl of ice cream in her hand.

How did she get that? That was in the freezer… “What are you doing?” I asked trying not to laugh because of how the ice cream smeared across her mouth.

“Nothing.” She replied, trying to hide the ice cream.

I shook my head walking toward her. “What did I say about lying?” I asked.

“It’s bad.”

“Exactly! Lying is very bad.” I told her and just like that, I gave her a lecture about lying.

I know I lie sometimes, but it’s only when necessary.

After that, we watch Dora together. Anne slept halfway down the show. I took her to her bedroom afterwards. I placed the purple blanket around her. Kissing her forehead. I got out.

I went over to my room. I heard my phone ringing. Oh. It must have been ringing for a long time. I went over to the bed to pick up the phone. Looked at the caller, Yvonne.

I answered the call. “Hey, where have you been? You weren’t answering my calls.” Said Yvonne.

“Sorry, I wasn’t with it,” I replied.

“Oh, okay. Are you already getting ready?”

“No… It’s 7:30, I’d get ready by 9 pm.”

“Okay and wear something sexy!” She said before the call went dead. I sighed before sprawling myself on the bed.

I was so tired. I needed to sleep. I wish I hadn’t accepted to go with Yvonne tonight.

I shut my eyes and I fell asleep before I knew it.

I jacked off my bed when my phone suddenly rang. Ah. I managed to keep myself from going back to sleep. Answering the call I said, “hey.”

“I’m at the front of your house, are you done getting ready?” Yvonne asked.

I looked at the time, 9:30 pm. Oh. “No, I’d go get dressed now,” I said, my voice trailing off.

“Okay, I’d be here waiting for you.” With that, the call went dead. I groaned getting off the bed.

I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth before taking a quick bath. I came out of the bathroom and looked for something to wear in my wardrobe.

I spotted my blue gown. Taking it, I wore it. I grabbed my legumes and wore them. I made a bun with my hair. I looked… Okay. Looking at myself in the mirror, I noticed my eyes, they were slightly red.

I sighed. Just tonight. After today, I’d not go to parties again. They are so tiring. I took my dark blue jacket and threw it on. I walked out of the room to the living.

Zara was on a chair watching TV, when did she get here? I’m not surprised at how she got in though. She has a spare key. I’ve known Zara since Anne was almost two years.

Because of my work issues, I had to give her a spare key in case I go to work early. I smiled at her. “Hey, when did you arrive?”

“2hrs ago.” She replied returning the smile. I must have slept deep not to notice she had come. What can I say? I’m really tired, I really shouldn’t have accepted to go with Yvonne.

“You look tired ma’am, is this place you’re going that important?” Zara asked.

“No, yes. Yes, it’s kin-” I cut myself when I heard a knock on the door. I sighed and walked to the door. I looked at the peephole. Yvonne.

I opened the door. She frowned at what I’m wearing. “Why did you put on a jacket?” She asked.

“It’s cold,” I said. I don’t know how she isn’t cold right now. The gown she wore is exposing.

“Take off the jacket, it makes you look… Not okay.” She said.

“No please, it’s really cold, if I take it off now I’m sure I’d be sick by morning.”

“Okay fine. Let’s go.” She said turning around towards her car. “I’m going Zara,” I called. “Okay.” She replied.

I walked out of the house to Yvonne’s car. Sitting in the passenger seat r’s sit, she drove off. The drive ended after 15mins. Yvonne added a little makeup to her already dolled face before getting out of the car.

I could already hear the loud sound of music coming from the place. My eardrum is going to burst. Yvonne smiled at me. “Let’s go in.” She said.

I walked in with her. The room was dimmed lighted and very crowded. “Come!” She yelled through the loud music.

I followed her through the mob of sweaty bodies. We stopped after a minute of walking. “Cris!” Yvonne exclaimed hugging a guy.

He had dirty blond hair, he wore a white tee shirt, blue jeans trousers and white converse on… And has tattoos and piercings practically all over his body… Except for his neck and face.

I never knew she follows Gothic people.

He was pretty good-looking. “Happy birthday!” She exclaimed again.

“Thanks.” He replied and nodded his head towards me. “She’s Tessa, the girl I told you about.”

“Oh? I didn’t expect her to be this pretty.” Cris said. I saw Yvonne roll her eyes.

Maybe it was just my imagination.

“I’m Cris, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” He introduced himself. I nodded my head. No need to introduce myself, right? Yvonne already did.

“Nice to meet you too.”

“Okay! Enough with the pleasantries! Let’s party!” It wasn’t Yvonne nor was it Cris, but a young lady who had so many tattoos on her.

She started jumping around. Okay, I felt highly uncomfortable for some unknown reason.

I sat down on a chair and watched the crowd jump around. “Why are you here all alone, dance with me?” I heard Cris say from behind me, when did he get here?

I would have danced, I mean nothing is wrong with dancing right? But, I was still exhausted. I wish this would just be over so I could just go home.

“No. Thank you.” I replied.

“Why? At least take something?” He asked.

I shook my head. I don’t want to take anything alcoholic or I’d probably die by morning.

“Come on. Don’t be a party pooper, just take something.” He dragged.

I noticed Yvonne coming toward us. “What’s up?” She said with a smile.

“Wow. She’s also a scaredy cat?” A lady with tattoos said coming behind Yvonne. I shifted uncomfortably.

“I just don’t want to take anything…”

“Awe come on. Don’t be a party pooper,” She exclaimed. “Just drink a bottle? It’s not going to hurt.” She said.

I let out a cough when a cloud of smoke suddenly filled my face. I looked behind me to see Cris with a cigarette in his mouth.

“Yeah, one bottle is not going to hurt,” Cris said and another cloud of smoke escape his lips.

I sighed. A bottle of alcohol was suddenly in front of me. I looked at the person holding it to me to see Yvonne. “Come on, live a little!” She exclaimed.

I sighed again. One bottle is not going to hurt right? I took the bottle from her.

I hesitated before taking a sip. I didn’t know when I drank almost half of the bottle.

It wasn’t long before I started feeling dizzy. Darn it! I was exhausted and drank alcohol, can I be any stupid? I let out a laugh. I’m stupid. Stupid stupid stupid!

I laughed again. Drinking more of it. It felt so good. I saw two of Yvonne, two of Cris, and two of that tattooed girl.

“Let’s dance? Hmm?” I said trying to stand up but failing miserably. I fell on Cris!

I giggled. I blinked trying to keep myself from sleeping, but it took over me, I closed my eyes and let the sleep consume me.

Third Person’s POV

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Well, there it is,” Yvonne said referring to Tessa’s lumped body, she smiled.

“So I’m gonna fuck her or what?” Cris asked.

Yvonne scowled at him. She had already told him what to do. All she wanted were pictures of Tessa half naked with him.

“Come on,” Cris groaned. “How am I going to get her half naked without fucking her?”

Yvonne didn’t want him to do that with her. It would be so obvious. If she wakes up and finds herself half naked, she wouldn’t think anything of such happened.

She’d just wonder how she got half naked and Yvonne would tell her she passed out last night so she took her to a room where she insisted she was hot and wanted to take off her clothes.

But if she wakes up and feels something between her legs she’d freak out and probably blame her.

Yvonne wants her to find out in the office where people would call her slut. And Austin wouldn’t want to be with a slut.

“Don’t.” She snapped. “Just what I said and I’d get you a girl to fuck.”

“A girl hotter than her? I don’t think that’s possible, you want to ruin her, what difference would it make if I fuck her or not?” Cris snapped back.

“Please, that’s not part of my plan, at least not now, maybe… After the scandal I’d convince her to come to the party Zach is having next two weeks, then you can do whatever you want.” Yvonne said and Cris reluctantly agreed.

She squealed internally. Her plan worked.

•••

I stretched out my body, yawning. I was enjoying whatever heaven I was in. Whatever I was on was soft.

Ah, my head hurts.

I slowly opened my eyes. I noticed I was in a room, which is not mine or Daisy. How did I get here? Jesus.

I was about to panic when I remembered I went to a party with Yvonne. How did I get here though? I was exhausted when I had come here. Did I collapse?

“Sleepyhead! You’re finally awake! I thought I’d have to pour a bucket of water on you!” I heard Yvonne say with a laugh.

“Well, good morning to you. How did I get the” I screamed when I saw myself in the side mirror.

“You’ve forgotten? I had a headache because of you last night. First, you passed out and then I brought you here and you shot out of the bed insisting you were hot.” She said unbelievably. Oh.

Anne. Office. I jumped out of the bed, ignoring the sharp pain in my head, I asked. “Where are my clothes?

•••

I increased my pace in my work building. I was so late. After leaving Yvonne’s friend’s place, I went home to go get ready for work. Yvonne had to go to work because of the extra paper works she left yesterday.

I reached inside the building. For some reason, it felt like the whole building was staring at me. I slowly looked to my right. Yep, they were looking at me.

Is there something on my face? My cloth? Oh yeah, because I was late. I ignored them and continued the journey to my office.

“I’ve always known she was a slut. I bet she seduced Mr Kings for him to make her his PA.” I heard a lady sneer. Were they talking about me?

“And Jake Hensen.”

“She is a disgrace to this company, I hope Mr Kings fires her.”

Ignore them.

I entered the elevator. After 2mins. I got to my office. I hope Mr Kings isn’t around. I came late. I spotted a paper on my table.

Who kept that there? I went to it and opened it. Termination Letter?

My eyes widened. My heart was suddenly beating faster than usual. They were going to terminate my appointment. I wasn’t that late…

The door suddenly flung open. Yvonne came rushing into me. “Oh my god. It’s all my fault, maybe if I had stayed in that room with you or I hadn’t let you follow me to that party, this wouldn’t have happened.” She cried.

What was she talking about? “W-what do you mean?” I whispered.

She took her phone and showed me a video. I gulped looking at it. There was me and a tattooed unrecognised guy. His face was blurred.

My name was on it. “What do we do? I heard he fired you.” She cried. I blinked the tears away from my eyes.

“You see Tessa, I’d have done my best to help you now, but, but I’m sick and my doctor said I’ve to be in the hospital in 30mins, but you…”

“It’s okay, you can go to your appointment.”

“But-”

“It’s okay… I’d just leave… I guess.” I didn’t want her to miss a hospital appointment because of me.

“Thank you, Tessa, I’d come over to your place in the evening.” She said then walked out of the office. I couldn’t stop the tears from flowing down my face. I’ve lost my job. Because of a party. I hesitated before taking my bag, I took out the paperwork that was inside and placed it on the table.

I walked out. Still hear the staff talk about me.
