Emilia's Pov:

"I am not interested Camille! Will you stop forcing me already cos you are making me so uncomfortable" I almost screamed.

"What do you mean by that Emilia huh? What the heck is wrong with you?" Camille shouted back at me.

"Camille please not today ok" I tried to calm myself down.

"If not today then when?" She sighed loudly.

"Whenever! Am not in the mood Camille... I need to be in the mood for me to party right?" I managed to say.

"Keep quiet Emilia! You can never be in the mood if you don't go close" She sounded so convincing.

"I have so much documents to work on and I have a customer to...." I tried to find excuses.

"Trust me Emilia! Those excuses are rather too flimsy so don't go ahead with them" She said as I scratched my head.

Of course Camille knows me so well so I don't think I can be able to convince her to let me work.

She has been my best friend from high school and I assure you she knows me even more than I know myself.

You find that statement funny right??

Well that's the truth cos I don't know myself anymore!

"Camille please I don't want to go anywhere" I pleaded with her.

"You should know me Emilia! I won't take no for an answer" I rolled my eyes.

"Won't you at least heed to my pleadings? What's wrong with you?" I glared hard at her.

"That question should be for you my dear best friend! What is wrong with you?" She groaned.

"Work! Camille work is wrong with me and you know how tight my schedule normally is" I tried to convince her.

"Just stop that work excuse of yours! You can always do whatever it is you want with your time and you know it" She said.

"Then that's it! I want to work with my time Camille not party" I rolled my eyes.

"Well you know that saying too well don't you? That all works and no play makes jack a full boy" She said.

"Camille so you won't stop huh?" I sounded defeated.

"You should know your best friend by now silly" She laughed.

"Arghhhh...." I groaned in annoyance but she doesn't look like someone who cares.

"Would you stop making noise and go get ready for the party" she snorted.

"Whatever!" I rolled my eyes as I sluggishly got up from the bed.

"You promised to come with me and now you want to fail in your promises when you know I won't take no for an answer" She kissed her teeth loudly.

"Just shut up already.... I might change my mind" I shouted from the bathroom.

"Am not scared Emilia! I won't mind conveying you to the party with a cart" she teased as we shared a laugh.

Argghhhhh....she's such a pin in the ass for me!..

Oh hold on a second guys.......

Did I introduce myself to you guys before talking and talking?

Oops.... Forgive my manners!

Well I don't think there is anything interesting to talk about when it comes to me.

I mean my life is not an interesting one like Cinderella's.

Though I sometimes wish it was....

But I have to stick to reality that Cinderella is only a fairy....

And these happily ever after can only take place in a fairy tale too.

Where in God's name did you see a slippers to put on just to find a soulmate.

How funny!

Mine is rather uninteresting....

Am Emilia Dela Torre and am twenty..... I guess twenty six years old.

Sorry I have to guess before I could say my age .

The truth is that I have never celebrated my birthday thrice...

That day actually happens to be my worst day sometimes.

Am a real estate manager so you can say am rich too.

Apart from my parents who lives in the states I don't think I know anyone else.

Well except Camille who had been my best of all bests and the only visitor I get in my big apartment.

Well I used to be a lovely young girl just like every other girls.

And I fell in love too but nah.....

That was the worst mistake I have ever made in my entire life.

I loved Christopher like my life depends on it....

I couldn't stay a day without seeing him and like he told me he loves me too.

Camille never liked him though but she had to accommodate him.

We dated for almost five years or even more that's if I have lost counts.

He never proposed to me at all even though he was well to do.

I placed my whole trusts in him and dreamt of a happily ever after with him.

I mean he has a good job in the ministry of finance office.

Apart from that he owns some boutique and eateries all over the town.

And me.... Am a well known real estate manager and trust me am doing really well.

Things kept going smoothly and sweetly even though I kept wishing and praying each day that he would propose to me.

I mean why won't he when we are perfect for each other?

So was my thought!

My parents especially my Mom kept being on my neck to get married like I was already old.

Then that fateful night when I saw what broke my tender heart I grew so much hatred for the word "LOVE".

Nothing is ever gonna take me into that word again cos am surely not gonna fall for it.

So you see.... That's how I turned to a workaholic.

Cos work was the only place and way that I found solace.

"EMILIA??" Camille's loud voice almost pulled off my roof.

What the fuck! I need to go guys.....

Before this crazy friend of mine tears me apart.

Like is it by force to attend a birthday party huh?

Now she would drag me there.....

Camille's Pov

What the hell is wrong with this crazy young girl I call my best friend huh?

What does she derive so much joy locking herself up with her eyes fixed on the laptop all day?

Well I won't let her do that this night cos she's definitely following me to the party....

No Jericho will stop me from dragging her with me to the party.

"Emilia will you get out of that bathroom? It's getting late?" I screamed on top of my voice.

"Arhhhh... Do you want me to come out with my foamy body huh?" She screamed from the bathroom.

"If I get to the party late then I surely will make you pay" I said.

Am going to drag her to the party......

What's the fvck is wrong with her...

Like why would she keep working and working and working.

She's not silly is she?

Few minutes later.......

She walked out of the bathroom with her bathrobe and her squeezed face.

Who cares??

"What then!?" She asked sitting on the bed.

"Get your lazy self up and get prepared...." I shouted as she sluggishly got up.

"Oh my goodness... I hate you Camille" She groaned.

"I hate you too" I chuckled........

TBC......
