"When Opposites Collide"

chap 7

LISA PROV

I had a great night!
I was already lying in my bed, ready to sleep.

Jennie drop me off an hour ago, it's almost 10:00 PM.

After dinner, we went to a nearby coffeeshop. Jennie didn't want to go home yet so she asked me to accompany her which I obliged.

I really enjoyed her company. I know she's my boss but at that moment, I felt like I was having a conversation with a friend.

Sometimes, she talked about things that I think was too deep but I just listened to her.

Her sad eyes makes me wonder, I wanted to ask her personal questions but I'm afraid it would be too much and she'd take it like I was prying.

Most of the conversations we had was about random things, nothing personal, nothing about work.

She didn't ask about my family so I didn't too. She never ask again about my personal relationship which was a relief coz I was never comfortable talking about it with people.

Live your life like it was your last. That stuck in my mind.

That phrase, there's something in it.

I had plan all my life.

Which school I will go to, what course I will take, the companies I will apply to, taking my masters, the house I will buy, planning a family.

I was brought to this world with my Mother already hating on me and a Father who never cared. I was just so lucky that my Step Father was kind to me and care for his own.

So, I have to plan. I cannot be careless, I cannot be distracted, I need my life to go in the right path. I want my Step Father to be proud of me, it was his sweat and blood that took me to where I am now, I want to repay him.

I want to be able to take him to places, different countries, eat different cuisines, buy him things. So yes, I plan my life, I need to plan my life.

Live your life like it was your last. It echoed in my mind before I drifted to sleep.

I woke up with a heavy eyes. I don't know what time I fell asleep last night.

I don't usually stay up late, I sleep around 09:0 PM as I need to wake up early.

It's 04:40 in the morning, I got up, made my bed and went to the kitchen to get a banana.

I was eating it while I change to my gym clothes. Once done, I went to the bathroom, brushed my teeth, did my business and head out.

My gym is just a couple blocks from my building so I jog, it helps me warm up.
"Good morning, Lisa.

" It's Max, he's a regular too in this gym. He had been asking me to go out with him but I don't have the time and also, I was not really interested in him.
