CHAPTER 24.

Mercedes's POV.

Perviously......

Ariel drove along the streets as I hummed to the low music, playing on the radio.

"Eve, so what about University?" Out no where, she brings up University.

For starters, The University is

Oh shit!

******

Well you see one I can't move around and two I definitely don't want to study now.

"That is for another time, right now am hungry." I replied changing the subject.

I ate my cheese pizza in perfect silence until we arrived home, then she left for some errands.

****

The news sweep across my television scream as I saw my picture, I almost puked.

"Miss World 2015, Mercedes Gray as been released from the hospital and is now working on her fashion modelling career in Paris at the moment. " The voice from CNN news spoke.

******

Eve wasn't into the glamorous lifestyle, magazines or flashy cameras.  Modelling isn't for her was just for promotion or her foundation, well not professional. She could have sued the company for this false announcement but it's fine; At least the attention would leave her in due time. 

As for her attackers, The police didn't find much information, the conclusion that was drawn, that she was attacked for missed identity.

******
The black eye was very much present as the oxygen around us.
Eve was innocent and blinded to all the misery that clouded her.

*****
Mercedes's POV.

It was almost four in the afternoon, there wasn't even a single thing; I could do but sit my flat ass on the soft couch, cuddle into a ball, fed my skinny cheeks and watch movies.

I absolutely love my new life. Cheers for me and let's sip some champagne together.

My eyes were glued to the large television scream like a adhesive tape, The stupid man in the movie was pretty hilarious, he turned his elderly wife Mrs Belleray  into a slave, in the 21th century and all he did was farted, eat and eat all day. His humanly release was a mixture of spoilt eggs and cabbages, of course his faults were louder than sports' fan in a arena.

Mrs Belleray wasn't a saint herself either, but she did deserved his harsh treatments. She would have an affair with his brother Cleveland, in bright daylight, while the stupid disgrace of a male specie. Mr Belleray stuffed his wrinkled soft cheeks with popcorn.

What a show?

****
Eating Doritos and  popcorn with soda was such a dream life for a health freak, whose life surfaced around fitness.

Look at the fat I have become.

It is not the pain that hurts but the depression that accompanied it.

*****

"You freaking stupid woman!" I screamed at the crazy woman in the movie. How could the bad  men me  have found her in, her own freaking damn house?

*****

Why did they really attack me? Are they coming back. None the less, the shuffling of even cans made we winch and cry.

Before you knew it salty water dripped from my eye sockets.

°•°•°•°•°•°
The door bell rang snapping, my thoughts from my jammed mind, I quickly wiped away my tears and plastered my fakest smile and grabbed my crunches. 
I held onto my crunches and hopped like a frog slow as a turtle.

"Coming!"I shouted loudly to the very patient visitor after several knocks.

Finally, The door flew open to a very familiar not so good looking Damien White.
His smile fitted him like a suit.

"What are you doing here?" I asked as I motioned him to step inside.

"I was worried about you and came to see if you are okay, I will leave if you want. "He replied as sincere as ever.

Damien was the type to be calm even in the saddest of
occasions.

"No, stay. Lock the door please." He didn't reply, suddenly I was swept off my feet.Damien held me gently in bridal style as I stared in those beautiful brown orbs.

"Where to pumpkin?" He charmingly asked, if I wasn't sure it would have came off as flirty.

"The couch. And don't call me pumpkin."I softly hit his back as he placed me unto the couch.

I hate the nickname "Pumpkin".

He came back and sat next to me on the couch.

"So you want to join me on my movie marathon."I asked him.

"How many movies have you watched?" He didn't answer and replied with a question.

How smart?

"Why do you care, Mr. White?"

"Well for starters it's not good for your eyes or brains, I suggest we play twenty questions and order pizza." He suggested, I want to deny to but it wasn't only affecting my eyes but my mental health.

Damn you depression and house phobia.

"Yeah, that's great I just ate pizza so what about some Chinese."

"Anything for you sexy mama."

****
"Have you fell in love since we broke."He asked as his body slid closer towards me, It's been hours and we ate and chatted for so long in what seen like a century.

His question took me by surprise, of course I didn't fall in love but that wasn't even the focus, it's for another time. I lost all feelings for him, I would love to be friends with him. 

"I think it's time for you to go. I enjoyed your company. "  I ignored the questions since it was almost 9 pm in the night.

"I am sorry, and yeah it's getting late. It was good catching up with you." She stood up and leaned towards my face.

****
Our eyes connected for seconds, his lips crashed onto mines and slowly I opened up and allowed him entrance and our tongues danced to the rythmn in pure unity . We kissed for minutes and I drew away, to catch my breath.  He wasn't the greatest kisser but since my dry lips were on vacation for a long time, but his touch wasn't pretty bad.

"Good night pumpkin. "

*****
