Okay, this is it. I am here standing for 5 minutes outside a normal house with a paper in my han, doing nothing expect staring at it.
This is Christine's house
Well, it's now or never...
But before I could knock on the door, I turn around where Rob is "Can you please leave me, Rob? I think I need time with my friend right now"
Rob looked at me "Are you sure, Ms. Laura?"
I nod with a smile "Yes, Rob. Thanks. I will call you later if you have you have pick me up but this is just between the two of us, okay?"
He smiled kindly at me, "Of course, Ms. Laura, I won't let you down. Just between us" then he left me and went to the car and drove away, leaving me.
I already knocked on the door as I took a deep, deep breath.
A few seconds later, the door opened but I was surprised to see a young cute little girl opened it. She had long bouncy blonde hair, her eyes were green and wide. She looked totally clueless seeing a stranger at her door.
"H-hello, sweetie, is this where Christine Anderson lives?" I asked her
She looked at me in a confused expression "Belle, who is that?~"
My eyes widen and look at her in shock. It's Christine...my best friend. It's finally her! She looked at me also the same look as I am giving but cut when she turn back to the kid
"Belle, go inside...go play okay?" She told her softly before turning back to me went closer, examining me from head to toe "Laura?"
I gave her a small shy smile "Hi Christine" I greeted her "It's me"
"Oh my God!!!" She screamed throwing her arms around me and hugged me tightly almost making me out of breath. "It's really you!" Then she broke off and held me face in hee hands "What in the world happened to your face?"
I laughed at her, God I missed her so much!
"Oh please...come in" she opened her door wider for me enter and I did as I made my way inside. Belle is on the floor, playing with of her toys while the TV is on.
I sat down on the couch and I saw Christine made her way towards the kitchen, I didn't notice that she looked...I don't know how to call it, her hair was a bit messy, her clothes were normal but her aura is different. Weird different.
Chris came out and sat down next to me "How long have you been here? And explain everything to me, young lady until I am satisfied"
I chuckled at her eagerness to know "Okay, where should I start...?" Then I removed the thought of Douglas "..scratch that for now...I've been here for 4 months now, Chris and I am working a teacher"
"Wow, really? That's good to know" she smiled then continued "I am really so happy and can't believe that you are here in front of me"
"Yeah but please...this is just between us, okay?" I told her "For now...I am not allowed to be known as Laura Alexander"
"What are you now?"
"I am known as Chantal Davis...girlfriend of Douglas" I said.
She looked at me weirdly, like a second head grew in me "That pervert old man..." she muttered with gritted teeth "He hired you to be her personal assistant....not to he a mistress! I am really going to kick his crippled ass when I see his face"
Tough as always, Chris.
"But that is not the story" I started and gather all off my strength and ready myself for the long long story telling.
Ready your ears, my friend...
§§§§
*2 hours later*
"What a story you have there, my friend" Chris shook her head as she stare at me "First Douglas...then you have Paul. You really had bad luck in men"
I laughed at her statement, maybe I am bad luck in men. "Now, I am enjoying my freedom while Douglas is still away"
"But how about Paul?" She turn to that man.
Paul...
Not sooooo good.
"We still aren't talking. " I replied "...But I think it is better if we are like this. Before he gets involve in this and it is going to be my fault"
"You know...Paul is a real jerk but...remind yourself, knows you as Chantal. Not as Laura, you can't keep that forever because Laura, believe it or not...he became a part of your life and specially in Chantal's life
That's why I love this woman. She really knows how to make me think in the right places. I am so glad I finally saw her.
Then my attention turn to the little girl, playing in front of me "So...um...yours?" I asked her, pointing at Belle.
Chris smiled at me and called her daughter, Belle walks towards her "This is my best friend, Aunt Laura, little girl...say Hi to her" she told her, looking at the both of us
"Hello Aunt Laura" she greeted me with a cute smile
"Hello little one" I smiled back at her as I gently pinched her chubby rosy cheeks "Who's the Daddy?"
"Ryan...who else?" She smiled cheekily "We never broke up, we continued our relationship until I found out 2 years ago that I am pregnant during my last year of college"
"Wow, you got laid" I teased and let out a laugh "But I am so happy for you. Are you two married yet?"
She shook her head "Nope, I dont want yet. I want to keep things slow. Right now, our responsibility is to make this family strong and together"
I smiled happily for her. My best friend matured and I feel like she different. Not in a bad way but in a good different.
I wish to have a happy family like them. One of my greatest dream...married a man who will love me truly and ready to face everything together. Nothing will break the two of us apart.
But... that is only a dream.
"Laura, answer my question. Okay? To make everything clear again" Chris said seriously and sat properly, facing me "Do you still love Paul?"
Love?
A smile crept in my face "Yes."
"Then tell him the truth. That you are Laura and that you love her. You have to tell him. And he became really down when you left him 6 years ago"
"But that is a long time ago, Christine. People changed easily and I am sure that he changed his heart as well " I told her.
I don't know any good reason for him to regret it for so long, right? He doesn't need to hold that regret until Laura forgives him.
"You'll never know until you tell her, my friend" she said patting my shoulder as she excused herself to make some snacks for us. Leaving me thinking of what she said.
Should I really tell him? What will be his reaction if he finds out that I am Laura, the girl he played with, used with and the girl that he made expecting to love her.
Oh God, I didn't notice that I finally had the hardest problem... harder than being with Douglas.
God, please...give me a sign. I want to see him!
⭐⭐⭐
"So Douglas gave you a driver..." Chris chanted sarcastically as the car arrived to pick me up "...how fascinating"
I playfully rolled my eyes "I'll visit you again sometimes" I kissed her left cheek and hugged her tightly
Next one I hugged is the little Chris we have here "Can I have a kiss, Belle?" I asked sweetly at her and she happily and cheerfully gave me a sweet kiss on the cheeks and hugged me tightly.
"Can I take her home?" I asked jokingly and then saw Rob came out from the car
"I have to go now, see you again" I hugged Chris one more time before heading the car. Rob opening the door for me and I hopped it, I open the window and wave at them as the car starts to drive away from them
A wide grin in my face just like the smile I had from Dad and his family.
"You look like you had fun, Ms. Laura" Rob notice the smile in my face as he asked me
"Yeah, I did, Rob and thanks to you for letting me" I said giving him a smile
Rob bowed his head to me and smiled back as he continue to drive.
While I was driving, I told Rob to stop at the nearest.convenience store because I need to buy some of the pills I drink.
Not pills for birth control...but just regular my flow.
We stopped at the store and I told the lady what I was buying and she tolde to wait for a minute and she will get the pills.
While I was waiting, I looked around the store if ever I see something I need but unfortunately, I bumped into someone...
Let's just say someone that I am not expecting to see...
And I know you know who I am talking about
"Paul," I murmured his name. God, I love saying his name. Why do I always say the first move?
Paul must been surprised to see me as well but since he is great in hiding his emotions in that handsome face of his. Damn him for that.
"So it was you..." he murmured, putting his hand inside his pocket
"What?"
"I noticed one of Douglas's black cars outside" he told me and his voice making me shiver. It was cold..
"Oh, how did you know?" I asked confused
"Your boyfriend is known for having expensive French branded black cars" he replies huskily
Really? I didn't notice that before...
"Oh...erm...I guess that's true..." I mumbled as I looked down "Listen, Paul I need to~"
"~Baby, what's taking you so long?" Eli came out behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist as she started kissing his nape "...Oh, I didn't notice you were talking to someone..." she stared at me while Paul. Still emotionless
Then I heard the girl called for me so I made my way towards her and I paid for the pills to leave because I can't deal with the thought of Paul and his fiance is in the same roof as I am.
I was about to leave when I saw the two them flirting at each other at the corner and they are really doing it on purpose. Fuck the both of them...
Can't they've they are in a public place?! Well if they want to put up on a show then go ahead! I am going to show him that I am jeloaus.
I'm jealous?
Shaking up the thoughts, I exit the shop and went back to the car. As I quickly told Rob to drive home fast.
I should be jealous because....she is beautiful and...she has everything what I want.
Real beauty, smart, came from a rich family, popular. The most beautiful thing is...she had Paul.
Me...like I always said...
Fake...
Not my real name...
Not my real face...
Not my real features...
What should I expect? A woman like me...a fake woman like me deserves to be thrown out!
