Hey Jealousy

Dana pressed the drop call button when she heard a girl's voice on the line. She knew for a fact that there was a no girls policy in WIZ. Ellise was the only exception.

Staring at the phone holding an empty bottle of wine her loneliness doubled. Slumped and drunk on the floor, the alcohol was the only excuse she has for the tears that fell freely from her eyes.

When her phone rang and Grand's name registered on the screen she turned off her phone and threw it on the wall. Wobbling she stood up from the floor and went to the kitchen to grab another bottle of wine.

Grand tries again to call Dana's number but it can't be contacted anymore. He blew a sigh of frustration, dialed a number, and went back inside the restaurant.

He is going to formally ask permission to leave early but he can't find his group inside the bar anymore. The waiter approached him and handed him a piece of paper with the name of an establishment.

He sent a message to Kai Hern, thanked the waiter, and went out of the place. He flagged down a taxi and went home.

Dana woke up with a splitting headache. Fuzzy memories of herself drunk flooded in her confused brain. She looked at the clock on her bedside table, it blinks the time, - 11:14 am. Dana cursed under her breath and covered herself with her blanket.

After a few seconds, she threw the blanket away because she could smell the disgusting smell of alcohol on her. Dizzy, she slowly finds her way to the bathroom, picks up her toothbrush, and brushes her teeth while waiting for the bathtub to be filled up.

Next, she washed her face and stood under the shower blasting her body with warm water, washed her body once, and rinsed. She turned off the shower and stepped inside the bathtub, making herself comfortable, ready to regret her actions when she was under the influence of alcohol.

She left the bathtub when she looked like a prune, and her stomach grumbled with hunger. She just put on a silk robe and looked for something to eat in the kitchen. But she doesn't have an appetite to eat anything. She settles with some soya milk.

Seeing the mess in the living room she decided to clean up, and that's when she found her phone broken on the floor. Dana sighs, reflecting on her actions.

After cleaning she decided to go out to buy a new phone. She doesn't feel like looking pretty so she just put on tattered shorts and a white t-shirt. She wore her trusty black Converse and wore black sunglasses to hide her puffy eyes from all the nonsense crying she did last night. Remembering her stupidity, Dana grimaced.

She asked the concierge to get her a taxi because she doesn't want to bother her designated driver to take her to the mall. She didn't have a hard time choosing a phone since she just opted to get the next model from the one she broke. She got a cute and interesting color - topical green. The sales clerk told her she is lucky because it is the last unit in the said color because it is sold out to all their stores. She doesn't know if the salesperson is just doing her usual sales pitch, but she is quite happy with her new phone.

The store technician transferred all her data on her new phone. While waiting she got some phone cases and other phone accessories. She saw a cute couple key chain of a boy and a girl sharing coffee. She remembered Grand because the girl is eating a muffin. She ended up buying it, she put the boy drinking coffee on her phone while she had the girl eating muffin wrap in a small box. She doesn't know if she will have the opportunity to give it to him but she just feels like buying it.

The flight was delayed for two hours and now he is running out of the airport. When the taxi driver asked him for his destination that's the only time he realized that he does not have any concrete plan. He's too sleepy due to a hangover and the ten hours time difference doesn't help.

He told the driver to bring him to the first place that comes to mind. Call it fate or whatever. When he got out of the taxi he saw Dana getting out of the store holding a cold black americano in her hands.

He wants to call her but there's no voice that comes out, that he just ends up following her across the street.

He grinned watching Dana in her sneakers. It's the first time he saw her not wearing heels. She looks so small without an added height. He is sure that she will be pissed off if he talked about it.

His brows knitted seeing men checking Dana's ass as she is wearing a very short pair of shorts. He sighs a breath of relief when she finally enters the gate to her house.

Standing on the corner of the street watching the entrance of Dana's house he felt utterly stupid on what is he doing here acting like a pervert stalking. He was about to leave the place when a boy pulled his jacket asking him to buy roses from the bunch he was holding.

He looked down and saw the scrawny boy pulling his jacket and decided to buy all the flowers he is selling.

"Wait for me here, I will buy something in that store," he said to the boy pointing to the direction of the coffee shop.

"You'll buy all the flowers I'm selling?" he asked, eyes widening in surprise.

He ruffled the boy's head and nodded, "Yes, that's why you have to wait for me here, okay?"

The boy nodded too fast in the excitement of having all his flowers bought by the handsome older brother.
