LOVE IN DISGUISE

chapter three

Karissa

"Hey, how was your day "

"Really good, so good I was wondering if I was in LA LA land"

"was it that bad? "

"oh Kayla, could you believe what happened at work today? "

"Hmm,i really don't..... "

Cutting her off, I started recounting today's event angrily

"could you just believe it!huh,my boss had cut off my salary by 40% just because I was late and also rude to customers."

"Karissa , your......"

"Now I have to get up very early on Monday so as to show the new waiter around before the restaurant opens"

"rissa,you might..."

"who does that? "

"Mr Ben. "

"It was a rhetorical question "

"whatever, your phone is ringing "

"oh "

Finally calming down, I settled down on the couch and picked up my phone. After seeing who was calling, my facial expression changed from angry to nervous.

"who is that ?"

"Jasmine "

Signalling towards my phone ,she replied "Go ahead, pick it"

Raising the phone to my hear, I waited for her to speak.

"hello"

"hi sis"

"it's jasmine to you and I don't remember having a sister"

"common jasmine, I thought we were over this already, stop being childish "

"says the girl who abandoned her family and ran off with a boy"

"I've finally realised my mistake and I am sorry "

"sorry, can't change the past Karissa "

The way she said my name in disgust really made me sad but I couldn't do anything about it. It was all my fault. Sighing, I changed the topic.

"so why did you call me,jasmine?"

"I need just a little amount of money, believe me I wouldn't have called but my flat rent is due and time is no more on my side. "

"But jasmine, where do you expect me to find the money, I am just a waitress, you should have informed me before, peharps I would have found a way to get the money "

"don't make me feel guilty, I wouldn't have asked you if I had parents but due to your stupid character I have no parents "

Wiping a stray tear away, I replied her with a shaky voice "okay I'll send the money to you"

"thanks, goodbye"
