Waking up to the smell of frying bacon and toast is something Rachel can never be used to, she turned in her bed while looking at the time figuring she probably slept through her alarm. She had been catching up on a series she had watched in her past life and slept late, you know, totally "normal" stuff. She went into the bathroom to wash up and wore some casual band tee and comfy sweatpants.
On heading downstairs,she could hear Ace telling the cook what he wanted which was quite obvious from the time she has known him, it has always been pancake with chocolate syrup with a glass of cold almond milk, this was Ace every morning breakfast and on rare days he chose to make scrambled eggs with toast and orange juice. She headed to the coffee machine to make her morning dose of caffeine to start the day, she took a few fried bacons and scrambled eggs, she didn't have a big appetite this morning unlike Ace who was super happy and excited and she sure knew the reason why he was so happy because he was finally going to see his new favorite movie which he has been talking about all week.
She took her breakfast quickly and headed back to her room to do a little clean up and laundry, she knew she had a maid who could do all of that but she just couldn't let them, she was so used to do her things herself she couldn't let a random stranger do it for her.
While she was busy arranging her closet, her phone started ringing which was strange since no one has called her in over 2weeks since her release from the hospital. She checked the contact and it was a strange number, she picked the call thinking who could have gotten her number, maybe some random stalker.
"Hello," Rachel said cautiously.
"Hey love,sorry i couldn't come see you or call you,i just felt you needed some space to heal from such a tragic event, I really feel bad for going all Ghost on you hope you can forgive me," the strangely familiar voice said.
"Uhm...Yh…" Rachel replied, still trying to be able to put a face to the voice that kept itching at her head yet she couldn't just put a face to the voice.
"Wait Ara….you still don't remember me?" The voice said.
She couldn't tell if he was hurt, surprised or just dumb because clearly she didn't remember a face to the oddly familiar voice. That was when it suddenly hit her.
"Ofcourse it was fucking Xander!!!!....she was wandering why she started feeling abit agree at the voice"...
"Of Course I remember you Xander...it just that you hurt me, and it's hard to believe you care about me right now,you totally abandoned me like i wasn't your fiancée,"
Rachel replied, faking hurt.
"Thank God for her good acting skills…"
"I am so sorry baby, I have been so busy with work and your best friend said it was what was best for you because of the trauma you have been through," Xander rambled.
"Ohh...I didn't know that my best friend who I haven't seen in weeks now calls the shots and says what goes on in our relationship Xander" Rachel replied with an eye roll, at this point she just found him pathetic asf.
"Nooo no baby that's not what I meant...I just...arghh...are you free this evening?"
Xander asked, sounding desperate,she couldn't tell if it was faked or not but either way she didn't care to be honest.
"No Xander, I am taking my kid bro to the cinema," Rachel replied dryly.
"To do what??" Xander asked.
She got even more irritated and took the phone from her ear and stared at it with disgust...this man had to be really dumb or just plain stupid to be honest.
"To slay dragon Xander, what the fuck do you think we're going to do, see fucking Trump?!!" Rachel asked exasperated.
"You know what….let's end this convo here,talk later" Rachel said ending the call.
Godddd this dude must really take Araceli for a fucking fool to throw such flimsy excuse and think she will just forgive him and they will be back in cherry land living merrily. She could just end the whole thing there and then but she has a plan she needs to follow through, she needs to make both of them pay for what they did, she definitely was also gonna find a way to make Talon pay for what he did but that was for later.
