An Other Tone For An Other Life

Chapter 11

~¥~

Pretending a whole evening is tiring.
I had been pretending the whole dinner with my mum. Yesterday. I didn't want her to be worried about me even though I was getting worried about myself.

Maybe I needed a break. To think about this whole situation. Sit out of my body, of my mind, for hours and look at what I had done those last days.
Look at the issues and find the solutions.

Because, there's never a problem without a solution. What you can do, you can undo.

That morning, I woke up totally unmotivated. I didn't want to go out of bed and face Kendall, Mason, Charlie or even Stephen now... I didn't have the energy to face them.

I may sound like a drama queen but, that's the way I feel it.

I can't skip work just because of some issues. I'm not like this and I knew it well.

So, you're gonna wake up and get out of bed right now or I'm gonna kick your ass out!

Yes, I yell at myself sometimes.

I put my bare feet on the ground and switched the weight from my ass to my feet. I made a few step to my bathroom and reached the mirror.

I looked at myself.

Who the fuck am I?

I kept staring at those tired eyes, that pale face and those frowned eyebrows... I was the one making it so hard. If that was happening to me, that was because of ME and nobody else.

I was the only one I could blame.

But I didn't have time to blame myself.

I opened the sink and the water came out. I washed my face and the feeling of the cold water on my still asleep face was amazing.

Woke up with no energy? No problem, I'll create the energy.

I made my bed, took a breakfast and took a shower. I changed into a red suit with my classy black high heels. My hair hung down, straightened, and my make up was light, letting my natural beauty take the control.

Time to go.

Romina is coming baby!

You probably think that my first destination was my office. Well, you're wrong honey. I had to make things clear between Mason and I, and as I was on a bossy mood, that was the best time to do it.

Nobody could stop me.

I parked in his apartment's parking lot and I walked through the long corridors, making my heels resonate in the almost empty space. I made clear to the few people that were probably rushing to work that I was there.

I reached Mason's apartment within a second and at the moment I raised my hand to knock, the door opened.

"Kendall?!"

There she was, the bitch finishing her morning hours...

"What an amazing surprise... " she said, surprised. I caught her out of guard. "What the hell are you doi-" I began but I stopped immediately when Mason appeared behind her.

Shirtless.

He was shirtless and was wearing a simple blue short.

"What are YOU doing here?" he asked, crossing his arms on his naked chest. I looked at him then at Kendall and then back at him.

I was processing what had just happened. "Oh that's becoming funny" Kendall tented to say but Mason cut her "That won't be for too long, she is leaving" he said, looking at me with his coldest eyes.
