Bleeding Heart

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 2

Dani’s Pov:

Cristine hugged me tightly in tears and I held her too.

That was when I spotted the picture on the ground.

My poor friend ?

I picked it up and tore it into pieces.

“Dani I just can’t get this whole thing off my head” She wailed

“I know Crisy but you have to… You can’t keep dwelling in your past” I said.

I handed a handkerchief to her and she mopped face with it.

“It’s high time you forget about James” I said as she sat on the chair heavily.

“That guy broke my heart…. Am trying Daniella I just don’t know why the incident keeps reoccurring in my head” Christine said

“oh please… He’s not worth your precious tears my dear friend” I said as I sat on the chair opposite her.

“I heard he travelled abroad with the money he extracted from me” Christine said

I only shook my head

This topic won’t lead us anywhere so I changed the topic.

I yawned hungrily.

“You know what girl? Am really famished” I said sharply

Christine laughed loudly.

“Oh please Dani! Don’t tell me you didn’t take breakfast at home” Christine teased me.

I scratched my head and she chuckled.

“Silly…. Of course you know I did but uhmm…. Errr… Ahhh” I stammered.

“You now turned to a stammer? Foodie!!” Cristine teased as we shared a laugh.

“Am still hungry… Let’s just go get some toasted bread and a cup of milky tea at least from that newly opened coffee shop” I said yawning.

“Am hungry as well… I didn’t eat anything” Cristine said as she got up picking up her purse.

We walked out of the office chatting.

? ?

We walked into the almost full coffee shop.

Thank goodness we luckily got a space to assdown.

“Why is this place so occupied like this today?” Cristine whispered to me.

“Of course their coffee and French toast’s are really pretty nice” I responded

“I see…” Cristine nodded her head.

“Oh God! Let’s just order before my intestines get cut off” I said as we laughed.

“Waiter! Waiter!!” I called but I got no response.

“They are all to busy” Cristine said as she focused her eyes on her iPhone.

“I’ll go order at the counter” I said as she nodded

“French toast and eggs with a cup of milky tea” She said as I shrug.

“Alright” I said

“Make it snappy! Am really famished” Cristine said again.

I clicked my tongue loudly.

“Yes ma’am” I grinned

I walked straight to the counter to make my order.

Cristine’s Pov:

I was very busy with my iPhone….

Actually I do file some documents with my phone so you can say I work almost everywhere, anywhere and everytime.

I was engrossed in my phone until I heard a slight cough.

I turned around…..

It was a very handsome young man.

He smiled at me revealing his beautiful set of gap teeth.

“Hello beautiful one” He smiled at me as I forced a smile at him and looked away.

“Hi” I mumbled almost inaudibly

“Do you mind if we share a table since there are two seats remaining?” He said friendly

“OK! One of them is for my friend” I said with my eyes still fixed on the device.

He sat on the chair still staring at me.

Gosh!

Why is this flirt looking at me?

I was feeling so uneasy and uncomfortable but I had to bear it.

“Ehhh… By the way my name is Andrew! What about you?” He asked with a seductive smile.

I became very annoyed and pissed off.

Why can’t he just keep a distance from me huh?

“I’d rather not talk” I said with the calmest voice I can speak with at that moment.

“Oh… Come on beautiful one, I really wanna know more about you” He said

I flared up angrily.

“Are you deaf? Why are you pestering me you pesky thing?” I flared up in annoyance.

He gulped as he stared around in embarrassment.

But what do I care?

I quickly glared at his left fingers and I found no ring.

Then I spotted a ring in his shirt breast pocket.

Ughh! That’s men for you…. He’s probably married and always takes off his ring to woo women to his stinky bed.

“Am sorry I was just trying to be friendly and….” He said

“Oh shut the fvck up! Go to hell with your friendliness and burn to ashes” I yelled

I was already causing a scene.

“Uhm… Are you in a bad mood or something?” He said still smiling.

“Just scram! Your sight sucks” I screamed as Dani rushed in with the tray of tea.

“Oh my gosh! Crisy!!” She called as she dropped the tray on the table.

“What? You should be screaming at this shameless flirt here” I said pointing at the ashamed man.

I hate him so much already.

“Cristine? Enough already” Dani said

“Oh please Daniella!” I sneered

“Am so sorry Mr” Dani pleaded on my behalf and that angered me the more.

“What? Why the fvck are you apologizing to him? He should apologize for pestering my dear life” I said angrily.

“It’s OK” He said as he picked up his wallet

“Jeez! You are so unbelievable Dani” I groaned as I picked up my purse and turned to go.

“Hey girl! Wait what about the meal?” She asked

“I just lost my appetite! You can pay for it with this” I said as I quickly dropped my credit card on the table.

“Oh my… Wait” She screamed as I ran off and she picked up the card and ran after me.

The guy shook his head in confusion.

He was about to walk away when he stepped on something.

He bent over and picked it up.

? I dropped my card and wrist watch ?

He picked it up and smiled.

“Cristine Cruz?” He shook his head……
