Susan's POV
It's been 2weeks since I caught youth and Dennis together ,
A lot has happened through this few weeks,
Carla and jake are now officially dating, i feel so happy for them, i keep patting myself on the back for my lovely idea.
Dad and mom are back together,
I got to understand mom's reason for leaving , it was dad's fault all along ,
Mom had caught dad cheating on her with Mrs Edna , our pastor's wife, who could believe that Mrs Edna ruined my family , I had been to blind to see that, I can't believe I once wished she was my mom!
Dad had been too proud to apologize to mom, mom got angry left, before she left she begged him to let her take me but dad refused. Through the years she had kept requesting to see me but dad refused to let her see me, she sent several birthday cards on each of my birthday but dad made sure I never got them, how callous
I went to see dad from work a week ago only to see mom at his place, they were both laughing happily like everything was fine,
I almost fainted, dad and mom had mended things between their selves and nobody cared to tell me?!
for the first time in my life I saw dad kneel in front of me saying he was sorry, he narrated the whole story to me, I felt so betrayed and thorn apart, so the reason I had to live almost like an orphan was because of dad's pride?
Mom had tried to explain but I was so filled with anger to even hear her out, I feel so guilty.
Mom walked to me and hugged me so tight "I'm so sorry mom" I cried "my little baby, its not your fault, I love you " she had said .
At the end of it all I had to forgive dad, he didn't have much time to live, so there was no need wasting the short time he had with us,
Mom moved in with dad, she's been taking good care of him , at least I'm at ease, I go home to them more often now, we've been so happy together.
Now as for youth, he tried talking to me at work a few days after the incident but I totally ignored him,
He kept trying but I kept pushing him away, now he doesn't even talk to me nor look my way, like seriously aren't I the offended here?
Oh my gosh it's Monday!
Another hell week to face, I wish I never have to go work,
I should just have Mr . Evans change my model , its been so hard to work with youth for the past few weeks , he's been so mean to me, aren't I the one to be angry here?!
I need a change of model, but I need a good reason to request for one.
Well today had better be great,
I'm fully dressed, about to leave for work, mom stops me at the door,
I've been staying over with her and dad's, they wouldn't let me return to my house, I must say , I like it here, I feel at ease
"Young woman you can't leave without having breakfast" she informs me, and I pout childishly
"Mom breakfast makes me lazy" I groan,
"You're having it, either way" she says, gently leading me to the dinning , I miss this
"Where's dad?" I ask
"He's sleeping, you realise this is 5am in the morning? What's he supposed to be doing up by this time" moms smirks
And I laugh, I quickly gulp down my cup of tea and toast ,
"use your dad's car, so you won't be late " mom says , " no thanks, I'm fine with taking taxis, I'll buy my car soon once I've saved up enough" I reply ,
I peck mom on her cheek , and hurry out not giving her a chance to protest
30 mins has gone by and i'm still waiting for an empty taxi , all the taxis seems to be occupied.
Now its already 6:30 , gosh I'll be late for the shoot
I guess I should just board a bus , I'm heading towards the bus station and a car pulls over beside me, a white Benz ,
"Uhm excuse me!" I hear someone in the car say , I turn around to be sure he was referring to me,
I bend a bit to see him properly,
"Please I'm new in town, I'm looking for a modelling company , named bransheight , could you direct me, I'm sorry for the hassle" he says, he has a British accent, I must say it sounds cute,
He is quite handsome, well not as handsome as my youth , Gosh! Susan your youth? Really? You aren't together anymore , he doesn't even talk to you !
"Bransheight?" I reply a bit unsure of what I heard
"Yeah , yeah" he replies eagerly
"Well that's where I work" I reply
"Oh very well then, do you mind hopping in so I could give you a ride" he says smiling, how cute
Oh Susan ! Do you have to fall for everyone's smile now?
I join him in the car and he drives off,
"I'm derrick utson by the way, you can call me derry" he says breaking the silence,
"I'm susan williams blance, my friends call me suzie " i reply in a business like manner
"How about I call you suz?" He says smiling,
Only youth calls me that, oh Susan forget about youth already, he's no good
"Uhm that's fine " I reply softly .
We made small conversations here and there till we arrive at bransheight, I got to know that Derrick is a designer like me, though he's more advanced and professional, his dad is british and his mom is a Canadian, derrick has transferred from UK to work temporarily as a head designer in bransheight for the next US fashion show
I feel honored to meet someone more learned than me, I sure would learn a lot , plus he's quite friendly for his status .
Derrick's car comes to a stop in bransheight car park, he walks to the door and opens it for me,
"I must say , I'm really grateful for your help " Derry says smiling too, just then a black SUV car pulls into the parking lot, and youth steps out of it , he looks up to us , I take a quick glance at youth and the look on his face is horrifying, well I think I'm enjoying this , I quickly cast back my attention at Derry , who is now saying something about designing , I'm staring at him but I don't think I'm hearing any single thing he's saying, I hear youth's strides as he walks towards the company's entrance door without looking back.
Quite mean.
