Chapter 1

*Phone Rings*

I woke up because of the noise that the alarm clock gave. I reached for it and threw it to the door.

It broke.

"Serves you right, you woke me up with no reason." I mumbled.

I haven't had a good night's sleep since the other day because I felt sorry for one of my friends being broken.

He's totally messed up right now and because I'm a good friend I sympathized the broken hearted.

I was about to take a shower when I received a call from a friend.

"Riggs?"

[Hey my man!]

"What the Fuck! you're drunk early this morning..."

[Yeah, come and join me here assh*le]

"Hey Riggs stop that, we just had drink last night."

[Come here right now.... Whooaaaah] 

he shouted from the other line

["Shut up Armani. You don't know what I feel for that girl. Since you have never been serious with a woman."]

Suddenly his line was cut. Looks like that guy didn't sleep ahh. I called one of my friends to go see Riggs.

"Hey Cuerva..."

I called on the other line.

[WTF! Man]

"Is that how you say good morning?"

[Yeah, why are you calling me this early?]

"Our friend needs to learn a lesson."

[why?]

"Adara was messed up right now, the morning was getting drunk."

[What!]

"Yeah man you heard me?"

[The fuck ]

[He really wanna die right now?]

"Our friend is totally in Love, did he really wanna die?"

[For the sake of his Love for that girl... yeah]

[I'm on my way]

"Thanks man"

I throw my phone at my table and sigh heavily.

I couldn't believe that man, Is that really will happen if you fall in love?

Fck why am I thinking that?

I quickly got into my car to go to the company.

I almost forgot that I have my meeting this morning.

Remind me to kill Riggs Adara right after my meeting. Because of him I will be a little late today.

+++++

"Brie, are you going to do something later?"

Zenni asked me, my cousin slash business partner.

"I don't know Zen, I do have lots of work that need to be done this week."

she said to her.

"Shocks, are you a workaholic, girl? Hello, you have employees here, what's the use of them? You can have them do all that, not just you."

she said while I rolled my eyes at her.I just looked at her intently.

Zenni was really known for being the charismatic of this group. She was cute and had a charming face. You can't refuse her because aside from having a cute and charming face, she also has a convincing words and she will use it against you when you try to refuse.She could be a salestalker and no wonder why Lolo sends her when there are promoting projects to investors because of her talent.

"Zen, I can't I have to finish this one." I said to him while typing on my laptop.

"Girl, today is Friday, let's have some fun. We made ourselves busy this past few weeks, maybe we deserve to relax."

"Zenni Gwendolyn---"

"Couz it's okay, I'm just going to ask you out once, right? Knowing that you're too busy, say yes."

Oh my Gosh! She's doing it again. The charismatic face of Zenni Gwendolyn Fermosel Parriego is on.

I just shook my head while looking at her. I can never say no to this woman.

"Okay fine, let me finish this first, I'm almost done naman eh I could still finish this at home."

"Yes!" I could hear her

"Thanks Couz, Love yah mwah."

She immediately went to her office. I could hear her giggling from a far.

"I just can't believe I said yes to that woman." I mumbled.

I finished my paperworks so that on monday I could only do printing. An hour had passed I heard my phone ring and saw the caller ID.

*Phone Rings*

"Hello?" I answered the call.

[Brie?"] The other line answered.

[Sorry, you're not busy are you?]

"No, why Ry?"

[I just wanna ask if you can come over, let's hangout]

"Actually, Zenni invited me to hangout tonight she didn't tell you?"

[I'm not calling her yet]

[But really? You're going to hang out tonight? That's a good news for me]

"Yeah." That's the only what I said

[by the way, I'll hung up na, Zenni's calling me right now]

"Sure, I think she'll invite you."

[Bye Brie, see yah later]

"Bye see you."

She hung up.

Rylee was also my cousin and happens to be my bestfriend since childhood. Her mom already passed away. Our moms were besties before they met our dads. After we graduated high school we became closer together with Zenni until we reached college.

I checked the time and it's already 6:23 pm

I went home and got ready for my outfit.

I wore a black top that shows off all my body parts. On top of it was a white pair of fitted jeans and 4 inches black heels that matches my black hair perfectly.

*Phone Ring*

"What?"

I looked at the caller ID and its Zenni.

I picked up

[Where are you?]

"I'm still at my condo"

[Okay I'm on my way, we're still in the same place at the bar we used to go to.]

She hang the phone.

I put some light make up and then grabbed my purse and car keys.

I was heading to the bar that Zenni said.

Zenni and Rylee approached me when I arrived at the bar.

"Hi guys, Am I late?" I asked

Rylee hugged me tightly.

"Nope. You don't have to apologize we're happy that you really came tonight"

"Yeah, I'm glad that you came here."

Zenni said happily.

"Come on, let's go inside." Rylee said.

We went inside.

"Let's order some drinks and then let's talk about our day."

"Sounds good." I answered.

"Well I invited Brie because we also need to relax sometimes because we were so stressed last week."

There was a problem with our company last week that needed to be fixed immediately and thank God we were able to handle it.

"So Ry?" I asked her

"Hmm..."

"Why you suddenly invite us here?"

she smiled slightly and turn my head towards the bartender. 

 She then turns her back on me. 

This behavior of her makes me worry a little.

 "What's wrong? Do you have some problems? Can we help? Tell us and we will help you" 

Rylee was too stunned to speak when I asked her that question. She's not a night owl. She goes to party but not everyday, we hangout sometimes but just for a moment of relaxation. Knowing Rylee, she's a busy person like me.

"Well... I'm... broken."

My eyes widened when I heard her, even Zenni who was enjoying went jaw drop hearing what Rylee said.

"You had a boyfriend?"  Zenni said with wide eyes. 

"Well ex-boyfriend to be exact."

"How does it happen? you didn't even told us."

"That's why I invited you. I can't keep it a secret from you anymore."

"How many months did you two?"

Zenni asked, now focusing on Rylee.

She is laughing again.

"We've been in a relationship for 3 years."

I felt like I fell out of my seat.

"The fuck Rylee, that long?!" Zenni said cursing

"The heck Ry, why did you keep it a secret from us that you're in a relationship."

"I'm so sorry guys if I didn't tell you right away."

"Well you really keep it low key, when did you break up?"

"Yesterday. I know you guys deserve an explanation but first I have to keep it a secret from all of you until I can."

"It's fine, I understand." I smiled at her telling that everything's okay and we are ready to listen to her if she is ready to tell us her reason.

"And since you're broken, all the drinks are free right now. Fuck, I thought the three of us would get together, it turns out that this shit is brokenhearted."

Rylee just laughed at Zenni's words.

"That's not a problem it's all on me."

"Okay, let's have some fun tonight. Brianna and I will join you now."
