Zoe

Zoe watched her sister Rita , lay on the floor completely wasted. It hadn't been the first time just happened to be worst than the other times. Every time she promised to stop and then like a bomb she gets back to it. Zoe felt her stomach turned as the smell of alcohol and vomits fill her nose. " What happened to you again sis?" Zoe yelled in frustration. She dragged her to the washroom to clean her up. If the unknown person hadn't call her she bet Rita 'd be freezing in the cold night outside her apartment.

She kept hearing her phone ring nonstop. Manuel won't give up yet. She felt sorry for him. It was the fifth time already she had disappointed him and he still cared to call. No guy had ever shown so much patient with her. Last time it wasn't was cause she had to babysit her brother who had overdosed himself and was almost choking to death and now Rita. She kicked her sister and rain curses at her . How on earth would she be able to walk away knowing Rita was in a bad condition.

Rita kept blabbing coherently. She won't stop call Jack name too . " I will make you pay for everything Jack". Zoe screamed. She knew it was the guy again. When she saw him earlier on she wished she could rip him apart but she couldn't. No one could. He was problem to not only her sister but also Maxwell her brother and others too. And no one can beat him . She wished she could make him pay . A thought crossed her mind and she smiled. She took her phone and sent a message to a lady. It was time for him to fall and she 'd travel miles if it could bring his end.

Rita woke up to see the pile of drugs and instructions on the side table. She frowned. " Good thing you are awake now. " She looked at her sister dressed smartly in a pair of jeans trousers and a black top.

" Where are you up to?" Rita asked as she rolled on the bed.

" Non of ya business. Just eat and take your drugs. I will be back soon anyway."

" Don't leave me here . My head hurts badly." Too late Zoe had already bang the door before the last words came out. She sat up to take the drugs before she ate. The night flashed back and she shoved it away as quickly as it came . The alcohol was supposed to make her forget but she still remembers. She rushed to the kitchen to get something to eat . She had to get better to get at him . He can't love another woman except her. Had he not promised her that too. She ate the pancakes Zoe had kept for her. He was hers and only hers' . He would get tired of the old woman just like every other women he had expect her. And he would look for her every where she won't leave Zoe apartment she ' d let him suffer finding her and beg her.

At Rita's house Zoe searched for anything related to Jack till she got something she felt was useful and walked out. She took a ride straight to the address given to her . All through the ride she kept asking her self if she was doing the right thing. Her heart won't stop racing like it had to win a marathon race. As she dropped from the cab she just couldn't take her hand to knock the door . Just when she was about to go back the door wings open and she turned around. It was a Man not a woman. She thought she had been talking and chatting a lady and also meeting her but it was a young man instead. And at the very moment she decided she couldn't trust her judgement. She stared at the man hoping he 'd say something since her mouth had been tied by unknown forces but the black man won't say word . He had the blue most eyes she had ever seen and he wasn't that black he seems to be a mix of black and white. He was milky and in his black top and blue jeans she thought they were alike. His low hair let his beautifully sculpted face glow in her eyes. He was the most cutest thing she ever saw and she felt drawn to him already in just a few seconds. She lean in to him and got the smell of an aftershave lotion. It was appealing how she could feel so relaxed after a long chaotic order . When she her eyes dropped to his cherry lips she swallowed hard. He cleared his throat and she came back from heaven to earth but Mr handsome was still standing in front of her. So it's real . She smiled at nothing .

" Hello ." He said more like a question than a greeting. At least she was happy she could hear him speak. He raised an eyebrow when she didn't say anything. " You must be ..."

"Connie! " She said off handed. " Yes I am Connie but you can call me Conn'." How the first lie slipped out she didn't know but the second was deliberate. She admired Connie so much because every guy likes or had a crush on her even at work. She even envies her beauty and her long red hair why can't she be her for once. Seeing the look in the guys face she believes her Connie lifestyle was working for her. " And you are?" She asked seductively.

" Charm." It was a single word but it rings forever in her head.

"Charm " The word came out like music in her mouth. " Oh like Charming." She said and He smiled revealing a set of white teeth. Yeah Yeah you have successfully charmed me Mr Charmer. She wished he never stops smiling. He let her in and help her with a sit in the veranda.
