"So what do you think about my surprise"? he asked. I like it, but you have a lot of explanations to give, I said.
He looked taken aback by my sudden action. Well, it was some kind of emergency situation, he said scratching the back of his neck awkwardly
You said you will be back in three months and three months turned into seven months, does it make it any sense any sense to you?!
"Actually... I did it for us".
How? I got a lead in another movie so I had to go. So did you forget to take something from home or are you back for real? Actually I…. You are going back?! No that's not what….. Save it Leon
Olivia wait, I wanted to say I am back for real this time and won't go anywhere for the whole year. Are you serious? Yes I am. You`d better keep your promise and stay this time, I warned. Okay I will
We were preparing to go to bed when Leon said something that totally caught me off guard.
My older sister Jess is coming back from Chicago next week and she wants to stay with us till she get an apartment.
But why can't she just go to your parent's house? I said confused.
She insisted on coming here
Even though I was uncomfortable about his sister coming over, I had no choice but to oblige.
"I'll pick her up at the airport tomorrow". Wait, she is already on her way and you are just telling me?! I am sorry I thought I did.
Leon left for the airport early in the morning and I quickly prepared the guest room and made sure everything was spotless.
They arrived two hours later and I was on my best behavior. She didn't even bother to greet me and just went to the guest room.
She must be tired, Leon said dragging in two luggage.
I knew she did it on purpose. She hated me ever since Leon and I got married. She was even against our wedding
Later at night, I did my best to prepare dinner and the moment she tasted the food, she grimaced and spat it out.
Are you trying to poison me or what? What the hell did you cook?! Ugh I can't stand this. Leon, take me to a restaurant, she demanded.
But Jess, nothing's wrong with the food. She threw a fit and he took her to the restaurant.
The next few weeks were hell for me. Jessica made sure she frustrated my life, she finds fault in everything I do and even mocked my work.
I did my best to keep my anger issue in check but sometimes I couldn't help but wished for her to disappear.
One day, she barged into our room and demanded me to go sleep in the living room.
Why should I do that? This is my husband house you can go to yours! I yelled.
*Slap* she slapped me so hard, my neck almost broke. How dare you talk to me like that you wretched wench!
Leon that just got out of the bathroom looked mortified to see us and something just snapped inside of me. You know what, its either she leaves or I leave I said and turned to Leon.
He stood still like a statue and kept looking between me and his sister. I turned to leave and he grabbed my arm.
Sorry Jess, you have to leave, we have done our best to please you but it seems like you will never be satisfied. I'll take you to a hotel let's go, he said and dragged his sister away.
What have you done to my brother you witch! she yelled. Her voice fading into the background
