“I’m done with you, and I’m done with this relationship. Do you really intend on driving me crazy?” His voice was soaked in anger and frustration. “Listen, let this be the last time you’d spew this trash. I’m no longer going to waste my time on this. We’re through.”

As soon as I heard his feet stomping, I escaped through the door.

It never happened, I told myself. I was never there.

Chapter Four

Christian

Iwould have stayed longer under the coolness of the shower if Fiona hadn’t been so diligent at her job.

I slipped out of the shower, dried myself, and wore a robe. Switching on the hair dryer, I dried my hair, and soon it was back to its proper shape, nice and sleek.

Strangely, I had overslept and had not realized the alarm ringing until I received a phone call from Fiona asking me to let her into the house.

My head felt lighter than ever, and my muscles were taut, though I had missed a few days at the gym.

“Would you like tea or coffee?” She asked as soon as I joined her in the living room.

“Tea will do this morning.”

“I have options-”

“Yunnan.”

“What?” She blinked.

“Yunnan. Have you never heard of it before?” I wondered.

Her innocent hazel eyes gazed at me with interest.

“It’s a kind of black tea. It’s pretty good. It’s right in the first cabinet.”

“Oh, okay.” She dropped her iPad and briskly walked towards the kitchen.

Funnily enough, I found her behavior cute.

“Is there any special procedure?” She soon returned to ask, still lost in her innocence.

“No. You can brew it with cold or hot water, but I prefer hot water.” I responded.

She shook her head in affirmation and returned to the kitchen.

“Be careful not to burn your tongue. I think it’s rather too hot.” She winced when I sipped.

“Yeah, thanks.”

“How does it taste?” She queried.

“Just fine. Didn’t you make a cup for yourself?”

“No, I-”

“You are entitled to have a cup of tea.” I let her know.

“Hm.” She gave a nod.

“Shall we leave?”
