Vincent didn't wait for me going to University today. He said that he needs to be early today because he'll be meeting someone. And i have no right to intrude on his business.

"Sorry if it's a short notice." I said as i jump inside Mitch's car. I don't have my own car, that's why i'm thankful that Mitch didn't ignore to pick me up.

"It's okay, trouble in paradise, hun?" Mitch quickly drive out of the parking lot. It's a bright and sunny day today here in the city. People are around the corner, doing their everyday routine. I hope it's a good day.

"Yea. It's just some girl texting him." I shrug, then look over the window again. Day will not be better without him.

Even if we're just a fake couple, admit it, i do like Vincent so much. I already admitted it to him and he did too. But i know my place, i'm just a worker for him, his paying me for his own pleasure, in short, i'm a paid woman.

"Who is that girl?" Mitch asked. I sighed and shook my head, while murmuring nothing. I just don't want to give my friend another problem. She's suffering now because of that Justin issue and i don't want to add on it.

That girl that texted Vincent, her name is Bettina. I didn't mean to read that message on his phone. But it popped out on the screen and it's like this

From: Bettina ❤️

Do pick me up at airport tomorrow. I'm excited to see you. Love you!

I just act like i didn't see anything and act normal to him. He keeps on teasing and forcing me to cuddle with him for the entire day, but i'm not in the mood because of that, so i drop it and he notice that.

We fight and i told him the reason why i'm acting like that. He became tense and mad at me, and one of his line, caught me off guard.

"You are just my fake fiancé, i'm paying you not to deal with my things. Your nothing!" That's his line and that's the reason why i stayed on the other room last night. I just know that his out this morning because he left me a note on the kitchen counter and it's killing me.

"Little girl, stop this day dreaming, we're already here." Mitch snap. I look around and see that we're already here at the University. I jump out of her car and walk towards Aina, that was standing beside Phil.

"Morning." I murmur as i place a kiss on Aina's cheek. I hope there will be a man like Phil, a man that will never leave your side.

"What's up with the down mood missy?" I just smile at Aina to pretend that i'm okay. I'm not going to ruin their mornings.

"Where's Justin?" Mitch asked as she joins the group. After that incident on our pad, i mean, Vincent's pad, i don't know what happen between Mitch and Justin.

"Hooking up some girls, i think." Phil laugh. I look at Mitch and she looks like she's ready to kill Phil. She's glaring at him and gripping on her bag's strap tight.

"Just kidding, his still not here. Remember your daughter was with him." Phil softly said. So they're good? Maybe.

I was about to ask Mitch about Justin, but out of the blue, this Vincent appeared on the scene. And i just want to walk out.

"Mitch, you going with me? I need to be on my first class." I raise my brow to her, praying that she will get it. Pretending that i'm late is the best idea. I look at my old watch on my wrist then act like Vincent is not here. His not here.

"Oh, yeah, Miss scholar.. Guys, we need to go." Mitch announce then place a kiss on Aina. I just wave at Aina and pull Mitch's hand then jog inside the campus.

"Is the trouble between you and Vincent is that big?" Mitch ask after we catch our breath because of the jog that we did.

"It's nothing, okay? We need to talk about you and Justin." I change the topic cause i know Mitch, she will push me to my limits until i can't take it anymore and tell her the whole story.

"Drop it, we'll see each other later." Mitch jog towards her first class' direction while laughing. She's crazy. I shook my head then walk towards my direction.

I walk inside the room and sit on my usual spot. I do have other friends here but they are just blockmates for me. I try to convince myself to focus on my professor but no, my mind is out of nowhere.

My whole day seems to be so agonizing. I didn't meet my friends for lunch just to avoid Vincent. And i didn't wait for them at the parking lot, even if it's our routine, but i just want to ignore Vincent.

I walk down the street and found myself craving for some ice cream. So i decided to buy some for myself then walk going to the park.

There are few people here, kids with their parents, some teenagers doing their PDA moments on the benches, and some they are just here, doing what i am doing, doing nothing.

I sit on the bench while eating my Chocolate chip ice cream. I wonder if he's thinking about me, maybe not. Maybe his with that Bettina, because as per her text, she'll be here today.

"Can i sit?" I look up, to see a stranger standing in front of me. His dress on a jeans and plain top, while wearing his sunglasses. He looks like he loves the gym.

"Sure." I give him a small smile, then move a little far from him. His scent was too strong, it smells so manly.

I remain silent and staring on my ice cream. I didn't know that this is how it feels when the most special person for you talk to you like your just nothing, well, he told me that i am nothing for him, so just consider it.

"Your ice cream is melting, don't look at it, eat it." This stranger softly laugh beside me. I look at the ice cream and it's not an ice cream anymore, it looks like a soup.

"Ohh. I'm just thinking-- oh! Nothing!" I softly laugh then put the ice cream cup down on the floor.

"Thinking about what?" He asked

"Just some boyfriend, you know, just forget it." I smile at him

"Yes forget it.. Nathan, and you?" He offer his hand on me, and i accept it.

"Isabelle.." We shake hands while laughing. This Nathan is helping me forget my problems, the way he laugh, it's soothing.

"Nathan, i'm glad to meet you, but i need to go home." I drape my bag on my shoulder and get up from the bench. I was about to walk but he place his hand on my arm, causing me to stop.

"Call me, if you have free time." He place a white paper on my hand, in which i assume is a calling card.

"I will, bye." I put the card inside my bag then started to walk. Another walk for the day.

I press the doorbell on his pad as i reach the building, i didn't bring my key, knowing that it's not my place, so i have no right to bring that.

I press it again, but his not opening the door. So i try to turn the door knob and it's unlock. The whole pad is still quiet, Vincent is still not here.

As i go up, i can hear something but i can't hear it clearly. I open the door on his room, to find him laying on bed with a girl on top of him. Nice view.

"Sorry, i didn't mean to disturb you, i was just--- uhh! Hmm, looking for my things." I stutter. I don't know what to do so i quickly walk out if his room then jog downstairs. What will i do?

"Isabelle, it's not what your thinking." I heard him say behind me. I continue to walk rapidly and as i reach the froont door, i open it and turn around to look at him.

"It's okay, remember? I'm just fake and nothing." I softly laugh. I remove the ring from my finger then grab his wrist.

"Here, take this. Just hire someone better.. And just put my things on the trash." I place the ring on his hand then slam the door right on his face. He deserves it.

I walk out of the building and walk. I don't know where to go and what to do, seems like i'm crazy.

I can hear my phone, it's ringing. I look at it, to see Mitch calling me. I answer it and place it on my ear.

"Where are you?" I heard her ask me. I sigh then look around me, where am i?

"I don't know, Mitch, i don't know." I sob. Tears fall down from my eyes, being fooled by other people is not what i am expecting.

"Ask some people there.." I still can hear her, rambling while talking. I know she's concern on me but i really don't know where am i.

"Hire a cab, then go here." I heard her, but i just hang up the line.

I walk on the nearest bus stop, then sit there. At least, my friends was still concern on me. Vincent is nothing, his nothing.

I didn't wait for a bus, but instead i hired a cab and ask him to bring me to the address that i presented. It takes a little time, because of the traffic.

Once the taxi stopped, i hop out of it. I need to cross the road. Why didn't i tell the cab to take the u-turn so that i can reach Mitch's place.

My mind is still occupied by Vincent. Is he thinking about me? I mean, i know i'm just his fake girlfriend but is he going to say sorry to me?

I found myself on the middle of the road, in just a snap, everything turns into black.
