Temptation

Abella's POV

I finally reached home. After so long. Not long literally.

"Aww honey! You're back my child!" Mom came running to give a huge, warm hug. I hugged her back, but this time not so freely. I had so much guilt inside me.

I was about to tell mom everything, when she started speaking.

"Mr. Davis called me when you were on your way," she said.

He did?

"Oh? What did he say?"

"Why? He informed me that he has some kind of crisis going on with his business so he has to leave the town in urgency, that's why he sent you back here"

Sigh.

"Such a considerate man he is," Mom spoke to herself.

Maybe I shouldn't just tell her about it. At least for Mr. Davis' sake.

"O-oh yeah. Of course he is. He's really kind-hearted and caring," I praised.

Mom smiled at me.

"How's his son? Heart-throb?" Mom teased.

I gulped. Huh. Heart-throb, right.

"No, he's just fine," I tried not to make things go wrong.

"Just fine? Oh come one! You should've fallen in love with him already! He's so handsome, hot, beautiful and what not! He's such a husband material! He's just so--"

"Mom enough, alright? You might have fallen in love with dad at his first sight, but I didn't. And I'm glad I didn't. I'm not crazy for such greedy romances with rich men of the town. You can't force me to love a man against my will," I snapped.

Mom gazed at me with disbelief.

"I'm sorry, okay?" I apologized and hurried upstairs to get myself some real rest from this rough and tough life.

Why do I always have to listen to mom's lectures about love? I mean, I just came home and I had to listen to all of this. Dude, come one! I don't like this. Why can't girls have this much freedom? I'll choose a better man for myself. Whoever I want and whenever I want. Reality is such a mess.

*turn*

It's hot here.

*turn*

It's cold.

*turn*

This blanket is disturbing as hell!

*turn*

Okay, close you goddamn eyes Abella.

...

I don't wanna see his face, oh my God!

*turn*

Not again.

*turn*

Sigh.

I can't sleep.
