Violet's Pov:

The alarm started beeping! Without opening my eyes, I searched the alarm clock with my left hand on the bedside table and turned it off, and went back to my la....land.

Maria

ria

:' wakeup! wakeup sleepyhead!'

I was in my dreamland when I hear screaming from far behind. I heard my bedroom door open and then in no time someone was pulling my blanket.

Violet

vi

:' Aaaaaaaaa......'

I screamed loudly and finally opened my eyes to see the traitor who dared to wake me up from my dreamland. And there she was giggling like a teenager with coffee in her hand. I am not an early riser like Ria and since I worked till late at night yesterday it made me worse. I was annoyed as hell. I am not someone to mess with when I am asleep. But since she loves to annoy the hell out of me, she woke me up.

Violet

vi

: 'Fucking bitch!'I yelled.

Maria

ria

:

rolling her eyes

'Good morning to you too'

Violet

vi

: 'Lemme sleep! Go away.'

Maria

ria

: 'Get up bitch!You are going to be late for your meeting. It's already 10.

I turned my head towards the clock and saw it was already 10. My big brown eyes widened as if it's gonna pop out of the socket. And now I was fully awake.

Violet

vi

: 'oh fuck!'

I Ria tried to cover her ear with only one hand as coffee was on her other hand. I jumped out of bed and heard her laughing behind me. I went to the bathroom and heard her saying.

Maria

ria

: 'Get ready fast. Breakfast is ready.'

Violet

vi

'okay' I yelled back.

I did my daily routine and took a quick shower. When I came out of the bathroom in my black bathing robe, Ria was nowhere to be seen in my bedroom. I went to my closet and pick ann an ed ink jumpsuit with matching heels. The outfit was classy & professional. It was perfect for the meeting. I love dressing since it's in my job to dress perfectly. I wore my clothes quickly and did my makeup minimal and blow-dried my hair. I looked into the mirror impressively.

I have brown hair which matches my eye color. I have my mom's eyes. She was a gorgeous, compassionate, and brave woman. I didn't realize that I was crying till a few drops of tears rolled down my cheeks. I miss my parents every single fucking day. It feels like it was just yesterday when I was trying to convince my mom to let me do a part-time job.

Flashback

I was having dinner with my parents at their favorite restaurant 'Marina del Rey'.It is an Italian restaurant and their service is outstanding.

Today we came for a family dinner cause I moved to Santa Monica for my higher studies last year. I rarely visited them and tomorrow I will be going back to my college dorm, So here we are to spend quality time.

I told my parents that I want to doa part-time job so I could afford my expenses myself. I want to be independent. Moreover, I am not a kid anymore. I am already 19. But Mom being a stubborn woman didn't agree with me because she thinks I'm still her little 4 years old baby girl who can't manage to work outside on her own. So, here I am still trying to convince her.

Rose Divit: 'Honey, you don't have to work. It'll only exhaust you more. You are already too caught up with your studies.'

Violet

vi

: 'Ma, please! I don't want to depend on you guys anymore. I am an adult now.'', I said in a soft voice looking at my dad with puppy eyes to help me.

Robert Divit: 'Babe, she's our strong daughter. There's nothing that she can't handle. Do not worry.' He said looking at mom.

Hah! My puppy face always works on him. And here it goes, I smile widely.

Rose: 'But.......'

Robert:'No buts babe.' And he pecked on her lips.

I couldn't help but smile at them adoringly. They are an example of a perfect couple. They both love each other unconditionally. I always wish to get a man who loves me as much as my dad loves my mom. It always brings a smile to my face watching them all lovey-dovey. They both were looking into each other's eyes. I cleared my throat to get their attention back. Mom blushed and looked away.

Violet

vi

: 'so it's final I am going to start working' I speak smiling cheekily.

Rose:'Who said I agree to that?' She raised her eyebrow.

Violet:'Huh? I thought you agreed with da.

Rose:'I never said you can work.'

I frowned. Mom started chuckling and soon dad joined her t looked at them confusingly.

Rose:'Hahahha okay! But you have to promise me you'll quit your restaurant job if it gets too much for you.

Violet

vi

: I smiled widely and said, 'I promise, mom'

Rose: 'You look beautiful when you smile. I don't want to see you frowning again.'

I smiled brightly showing my perfect white tooth set.

Present Time

More fresh tears welled up in my eyes. I miss them every single fucking day. Ria and Nick were there for me to overcome this nightmare but I never overcame it. They think I'm over it so I didn't tell them that the mmemoofa a horrible night which turned my entire world upsidsststill hauntsntst me. And I'm not intending to tell them this either. I don't want them to worry about me. I feel my wounds are still as fresh as it was four years earlier.

I wiped my tears and looked into the mirror. I am 5'5 which I think is a good height and have curves in the right places.

I took my handbag and files and headed towards the kitchen.

Maria

ria

: 'Breakfast is on kitchen counter table.'

Ria yelled from the living room. It is Sunday today but I have an important meeting with one of my clients, Miss. claire for her wedding gown. I own a clothing store white queen' where most of the outfits are my designs.

Violet

vi

:' Thanks, babe.'

I walked into the kitchen and there was my breakfast. Did I tell you that I can't cook at all? I tried to cook once but I almost burnt my apartment. I am a big foodie. I made my coffee and started eating my breakfast.

Violet

vi

:' Mmmhhh....'

I moaned Ria is fabulous at cooking whereas I am horrible. After a while, she came into the kitchen wearing a white crop top and black pants with white sneakers and socks. She tied her hair in a messy bun and was carrying a black bag. She was looking stunning as always in her casual outfit.

Violet

vi

: 'Mmhh... It's delicious. Thanks bitch.You're the best.

smiled widely

Maria

ria

: 'Yeah I know. You can't save your fucking ass without me.'

she winked at me

Violet

vi

: 'whatever

I rolled my eyes.

But yes she was right. I can save my ass with poor cooking skills of mine or you can say zero cooking skills of mine.

Maria

ria

:' I'm heading towards my cousin's house. see ya in the evening.'

Violet

vi

: 'Bye.'

With that,t she left. Now, I was all alone at home eating my breakfast. And as I was about to take another sip of my coffee, my phone started ringing.

Violet

vi

:' Ughhh....who tf is calling me now? I can't even eat in peace.'

I groaned. I took out my phone from my handbag and saw it was from Nick. He was my best friend since high school. He was always there for me when I need him. Nick and Ria are like my family and I love both of them.

Oh no!No! I don't love Nick in that way. We are best friends and nothing more. He's interested in men. It's not like we both didn't try anything but he was into men. Don't take me wrong he didn't know that he was into men when we kissed.

Our bond was so strong that we both gave it a try to see where our friendship goes. But that kiss changed his perspective and he realized he was gay.

He's 6'2, well built, good-looking man, with hazel eyes and black hair. We kissed when we were in high school but it didn't feel right not because it was bad. Tbh, it was an amazing kid and I realize that motherfucker is an excellent kisser and I didn't regret even a bit sharing my first kiss with him. Yes, it was my first kiss. He was my senior back at high school.

Violet

vi

: 'Hey Nicky!

in a cheerful voice.

Nick:'ugh!Don't call me with that name, woman.

He tried to say angrily but miserably failed.

I could imagine him trying to control his smile. I gave him this nickname and he doesn't like this name but doesn't mind when I call him. But since I love to annoy the fuck out of him, I always call Nicky.

Violet

vi

: 'tsk tsk....not gonna happen.'

I giggled

So what's up?

Nick:'All good. Do you remember tonight's plan ?'

Violet

vi

: 'Huh!What plan?'

Nick:'Yup...as excepted. We planned to go to the club tonight, love.

Violet

vi

:' oopsie! I'm so sorry. I forgot about this.

I was so caught in my work that it slipped away from my mind. I don't like clubs but I promised him and Ria. So I guess I have a choice left.

Nick:'You're coming with us tonight. I DON'T WANT ANY EXCUSES.'

He spoke so loudly that I had to put my phone away from my ear.

Violet

vi

: 'Geez! stop screaming or else my ears gonna start bleeding.

Nick:'Did you hear me, vi?'

Violet

vi

: 'Yes, I heard you. ok fine. I'll come with you guys.

Yayyyyyyy!He screamed so loudly on the phone as if he won some kind of trophy. I saw time on the wristwatch and it was 11.

Violet

vi

:'. I gotta go. I'm getting late. Bye, love ya.

Nick:'Love ya too. see ya tonight.'

And we hung up. I stuffed my mouth with french toast & took my handbag, files, and car key, and headed towards the main door. I locked the door & went to the parking lot.

I saw my baby parked there proudly. It was gifted by my parents on my 18th birthday. All memories flooded back again but I gathered myself and hopped in the car.

Violet

vi

: 'Don't be a crybaby, vi. Don't cry. You're strong.'

I kept chanting as if my life depends on it. I composed myself and start the ed engine adroveved towards my destination 'Albatros restaurant' where I have a lunch meeting with Miss. Claire.
