7: past truth

PAST

I sat in the schools' green house, it was my usual spot whenever I was looking for inspiration for my next online novel and this was my hideout from gym class because let us face it my noodles looking body of mine can ever gain muscles and I don't need the extra credit. Yes, people my 4.9 average made it easy for the principal to exempt me from gym. I have an hour and forty-five minutes to myself.

I feel some people are cursing me out but I have no proof.

Humming a bored tone while hitting my pen against my note which had this written on the back page 'ideas I cook up for plots of new novels' 

In this note I wrote about the characters, its plot, the twists and turns then it's suppose ending. 

Paul knew where to find me after his class so I can stay here till school ends since gym was my last period. Suddenly I heard a groan from behind the flowers spider lily pots to be exact, this is the moment I was supposed to ignore it and go on with what I'm doing or leave the greenhouse, but guess what. 

my dumb self then decided to go check it out.

Walking slowly toward the flower pots to peep I heard the voice that startled me.

"Curiosity kills the cat" I lost my footing tripping over air and then fell on my ass. I groaned without looking at the owner of the voice.

Stupid nonsensical air, tripping me Laozi.

"I won't classify myself under the felines more of a rabbit " I grumbled. I stood to my feet cleaning the dust on my trouser. 

The person chuckled slightly then hummed.

"True you do look like a rabbit with your buck tooth" He said and I rolled my eyes about to spit out a comeback but I swallowed it down at the sight of the owner of the voice.

'Shit' I thought. I can't believe I forgot his voice, stupid me.

"Are you alright?" He asked as he walked closer to me while I was rooted in my spot admiring him and daydreaming. 

'Shit shittier shittiest cyber shit with shitty shit say something intelligent ' I growled to myself.

"I-I... Blue is my favorite meal and dew is my favorite song " I sighed.

Wow is that what you call intelligence stupid brain cells.

I continued to blush while he tried holding his laughter. Well, there goes my 4.9 GPA flushed down the toilet never to return. 

"Wow I didn't expect someone as serious as you to be this cute and funny" I blushed as he shook his head before saying something else then walking away from me. 

After he left, I realized he called me cute.

'Papa I'm getting married bless me' I squealed rubbing my cheeks. 

This was the second conversation we have had in a long time, well more like one sided conversation since my brain and mouth seems to have gone on vacation.

I suspect but my brain and mouth are working together with my brother to spoil my image before this hot human.

PRESENT.

It's been two weeks since I started working, a week since I was accepted fully for being good at the job. 

Rosa has been glaring at me in annoyance because as of recent my 'boss' has told her to report to me if she wanted to pass any information or documents since I was his personal assistant. 

Woman it's not my fault that I work instead of trying to seduce the man. Like I know him to hate people who sell them self-short.

'Brrrng'

"Hello president Jude's office" I used the speech app on the iPad.

"Go down to the reception and help the woman and the child at the front desk up to my office" Jude said before hanging up without my response, I shrugged. 

I guess Lisa is here but why is she not coming up by herself. 

Oh well game face. 

I rode the elevator down to the reception where front desk was then I saw the maid from that night at the charity event with Jude's daughter in her arm as Ryan seemed like she was about to burst into tears.

That stupid Lisa, poor maid and poor baby.

"Mark how are you today" Mina signing while I signed a fine back in response.

I gave her a polite nod and a smile before the maid took notice of me then she walked towards me. 

Seems like she recognizes me, good and also the crying Ryan started stretching her arms out for me to carry her. 

She remembers me, I felt warm as I took Ryan out of the maid’s hands. Immediately she started talking about anything and everything. All her words were in third person words.

So cute.

"Sir please when we get to the door of the office could you give him back to me, because Mr. Jude hates when outsiders carry his daughter." The nanny said and I smiled nodding my head.

I Looked down at the girl in my arms then I smiled again feeling almost complete, rubbing her cheek. Her cheeks were so soft like little dumplings this action caused Ryan to look at me curiously then smiled while she kept playing with my button found on my collar. 

'Ding'

We got off the elevator.

Sigh.

I knew I was to hand her over to the nanny, so with heavy heart I did. she carried Ryan from my arms then he began to struggle and pout with quivering lips, her mismatched eyes watered.

I rubbed her cheeks with a stern look trying to stop her from crying, which worked. 

Ryan pouted as she tried to stop her tears nodding his head with a brave look on his face, this caused me to feel a sharp pain to my heart reminding me of Michelle and Mikey my babies.

I hope they are resting. I hope they don’t hate me for not being there.

Knocking on the door I heard a little 'come in' so I let them in before turning back to my desk outside.

I really miss my babies; I don't deserve this but life can be quite unfair. 

Don't worry babies; mama will bring you justice; I will hurt those who hurt you I don't care anymore for their happiness. I will make sure to clear my name from the mud they dragged it into. You all just wait, I sniffed quickly wiping my face off the tears that rolled down my cheek.

An hour later, 

I knocked on his office door with my iPad in my hand, he is supposed to have a meeting with the company's lawyers due to some complications between another company breaking their contract and some other things.

'Come in' I pushed the door open then walked towards him while I pressed what the app would say.

"Thank you, Mark, tell the driver to wait for me in front" I nodded watching him hold his daughter so tenderly as she rambled on. I was about to leave his office when a small hand held my trousers.

"Mama!"
