Episode 7

Shaquan

I opened my eyes to see her on top of me with her eyes full of worries but didn't even know my lips were on hers.

Though I enjoyed my lips on her's but if I don't want this to be a worldwide's trend then I should quickly stand up.

" Are you okay Shaquan?" The other girl on stage ran towards me along with the crew.

"You should be asking her that not me" I shouted at them because they were only watching when this was happening.

"I'm fine" She replied feebly, caressing her hands over her hair.

"Didn't you check the props before risking my life" I yelled angrily but noticed the look on Lia's face as she dashes out of the shooting room.

Scarlett

I must say that Lia girl is my bad luck.

Geez!

Those foolish props designers.

I was supposed to save Shaquan and be the top trend of the day but they failed to help me.

What's the essence of coming here and doing all sorts of unnecessary things just to get here?

My efforts have just gone down into the drain, I'm so frustrated.

" Aish!" I stamp my feet angrily but cautioned myself when I noticed footsteps.

" Here, I think you're stressed" Everyone will think she's an angel as she gave me a bottle of water.

" Thanks" I faked my smile.

" Shaquan wants to see you" My heart began to beat like a party drum.

Did he notice how beautiful I am?

Oh my goodness I can't believe he fell for me at first sight but wait is he really calling me for this or something else.

" Have a positive mind scar baby" I murmured, heaving a soft sigh.

" What did you say ?" Annoying bitch, trying so hard to irritate me.

" Nothing, where's he?" I muttered under my teeth.

" Let's go" Crazy girl are you going to follow me and watch how I seduce my sweet Shaquan.

One plan failed but I'm too beautiful to let this plan flopped.

" Manager Lia" I called out respectfully.

" Oh you called for me" She smiled sultrily.

" Yes, I needed your help in getting my things from my manager. I would have called him but my phone.." she shushes me off the middle way.

" It's okay, I don't want to be with you too" She left hurriedly making me look so bad.

I knock on the dressing room door, waiting for his response since I wanted to try to act up to his standards.

But I couldn't bear any longer again when my hands begin to itch me.

"Hi Quan" I smiled softly moving closer to him.

" How much did you pay?" He asks abruptly making me stop before getting closer to him.

"I don't understand you, what ?" I tilt my head in confusion.

" How many rounds of sex did you go to get here?" I finally understand what he was saying but it's too rude of him.

"This is a meaningless accusation" I cried out trying to act all innocent.

" Oh really, actually I was going to find you to show you this" He held out his phone to me

My mouth was wide agape at the video content of the girl confessing that I sent her to video Lia.

" It wasn't me"

" It's not you Scarlett, Now get the hell out of here and the next time you do this kind of thing, You'll not be saved" He narrowed his eyes and snatched his phone from me.

I was shocked when he threw the phone away angrily.

"Please, I'm so sorry" I hug him from the back holding him up so he would forgive me.

" Get off me" He yelled but I won't even bulge.

Lia

It was getting late already and I have to get to Joshua so he wouldn't be annoyed and I quickly ran to the dressing room.

" What's going on here ?" I ask, looking at them awkwardly, just then Shaquan forcefully throws her off.

" Ouch!" She groaned and I wanted to help but he pushed me out of the room.

" You wore it ?" He tried smiling happily but it seems fake.

He doesn't even know I wore my boyfriend's own.

"You can go home Alone, I need to rest," He said as soon as we reached the car and I'm so happy he's leaving me so quickly.

"Bye then and take the medicine !" I said to him, so excited that I got the chance to leave already.

"Hey babe" I smiled sheepishly on the phone whilst grabbing a taxi.

" I reserved our favorite restaurant and I'll be there soon, something came up" He explains in a silent tone.

He must have a lot of customers

I took the taxi and headed to Camelia Pub, so close to my house but far from his shop.

" You're Ms. Lia" The waitress was quick to recognize me and took me to the reserved seat.

" Having fun alone, mind if I join?" I didn't look at the person but I'm sure it's a man.

" Thanks…don't join me" I countered bluntly, scrolling through my news feed.

" You're truly the first ever to say that" He even sits when declined him.

I glance at him annoyingly but couldn't see him clearly because of the mask and face cap he was wearing.

" I'm here for someone so please excuse yourself" This is the last time I'll talk politely.

" Oh really?" He opened his nose mask and I was shocked to see Shaquan.

I didn't even recognize his voice

" Why are you here?" I ask surprisingly helping him with his face cap so people wouldn't recognize him.

" I just can't stay alone at home" He replied childishly.

" You should have called your playthings," I said intentionally trying to irritate him.

" My boyfriend would be here soon, so it'll be best if you can go" I urge him but he didn't say a word not until after a while.

" I'll go away when he comes" He began to press his phone.

Joshua

"I need to go, she's my girlfriend and you're just my..…" she crossed her fingers over my lips.

"You can go but promise me you'll be back, my body needs you" She whined and licked her lower lips.

" If I can" I muttered, dashing out of the hotel building.

My conscience is troubling me, why the hell am I cheating on her?

Because she wouldn't give me what I want

She associates with too many men especially that Shaquan guy.

" She's here already" The waitress smiled pointing towards the place I reserved.

I was taking slower steps when I saw Shaquan sitting at the place I reserved and laughing excitedly with my girlfriend.

My eyes were red and my fingers were clutched tightly.

" Why would she bring a third party to our anniversary ?" I thought.

I'll rather be with the girl that would make me happy than stay with her that's giving me a pain in the heart.

Lia

I've been waiting for so long but I wasn't bored because Shaquan was here with me and he's keeping me entertained.

My phone rang and I quickly picked up immediately.

"I'm here since" I tried sounding angry.

"I'm sorry, I won't be able to make it" it was as if my heart stopped.

"W.hy..?" I stutter.

"There is a lot of customers here" He replied perfunctorily and ended the call.

"What's it ?" Shaquan asks unknown to him of the situation.

" He's held up, he can't come again" I didn't know when tears dropped from my eyes.

I wasn't annoyed because he didn't come but because Shaquan witnessed how my boyfriend stood me up.

I feel like the ground should just swallow me.
