Break Your Heart, Mend Mine

My day has been going great. I left home early. Way too early so that Walter doesn't find me at home. I can't face him, not yet. I don't even know what to do when I see him. What to say to him. My thoughts are a mess.

It's currently lunch time and I have just finished feeding my bundle of joy. He just ran away from me to God knows where and I am thankful. I'm just out of my thouhts today.

My phone rings in my pocket and I check it to see Steph. Oh, I forgot all about her Clark arriving today.

"Steph," Soon as I answer it.

" where are you girl..?! We'll be late!," the excitement in her voice was much too evident.

"I'm coming, coming", I run to my office, pick my bag and run out before Jay notices. He wouldn't let me leave this early without a fight.

I find her parked outside. Steph's car is a black BMW. Well, yes. She is from a rich family, her family's home is in the outskirts of the city. She most of the time stays with her aunt who has an appartment in the city. She's pretty. Long lashes, full lips and the it kinda skintone. Perfectly curved body and all that. She's your ideal perfection.

"Sorry, I just have a lot on my mind today!," as I enter the car

"What?!... what's wrong girl?!", she frowns in confusion and worry.

I look at her and my heart warms,'' no. It's nothing!", I smile ," we better get going now girl!", I flick on the radio and Malaika Terry's "low fruit" comes on as she started the car. We sing along in and out of tune as we head to the airport.

I choose to stay in the car as she goes for Clark. I don't actually know the guy. I just heard of him. A lot really. But I'm just so unintrested. I only came because Steph wouldn't let me say no to her.

I'm interupted from my thoughts when the door to the passenger seat where I am seated opens to reveal quite a good looking guy. Really good looking. We stare at each other for a while until someone comes up behind him.

"Oh, hey Laye! We are back?!", Oh, it's Steph.

"So you are Laye!", the guy speaks up with a smile. How can his teeth be so white. Ugh, I mentally facepalm. Stop, Laye. Bad, bad for gawking at your bestfriend's boyfriend.

"Uuh... yes. And you are Clark?!", I say taking his hand which he had stretched out for me to shake.

''Yes, nice to meet you, Laye", he flashes me a wider smile and I smile back.

"Well, we should get going now that you guys have introduced yourselves", Steph chirps in. Am I so wrong to have forgotten her existance?! Ohh, noo.

All the way through the ride Steph doesn't stop chattering on and on to Clark about how happy she is that he is finally back here. How she missed him. How they'll have so much fun together. Blah blah blah... I zoned out in the end. I decided to just stare at the city scenery passing by in a blur as Steph continues to drive.

I'm brought back to reality when the car stops. Oh, did I mention that I moved to the back seat so the love birds can have some space. I'm trying to figure out where we are when my door suddenly opens. I look up to see Clark still holding the door as if waiting for me to step out. Wait, shouldn't he be doing this for Steph?!  I look up to see Steph walking round the front and step out quickly grabbing the door and shutting it fast.

What would I give to be with little Jay and Walter right now. Oh, wait! I'm avoiding Walter because of the kiss. Ugh, for heaven's sake heavens. Give me a break.
