MAKING A CHOICE IS THE TOUGHEST~ Khloe Diamond.

KHLOE DIAMOND
A date? I was torn between going or staying back. If I decide to go on that date, it would mean me giving up completely on Chris but if I decide to stay back there would always be this part of me that still considers being with him.

Give it up, he is engaged!

My brain was always right but my problem was my heart, always pushing me into doing certain things I shouldn't.

Instead of spending all morning trying to make a decision, I decided to dress up for the date while I take the time left to decide as I go about my usual schedule for the day.

"Someone looks different today". I heard Kelvin say as her set up the dining table.

The statement seemed to attract Hilda's attention from the kitchen.

Wait... did Hilda make breakfast? Urrrrrrggggh!

She came running out to see what he was talking about and trust me, I knew that look in her eyes. Was it a big deal wearing a fitted mini jean skirt and a chiffon top?

Okay, usually I wear pant trousers and top to work or a dress. My hair was let loose with some curls I managed to put at the tips this morning when I never forget to put it into a high ponytail. My heels were slightly higher than usual, the category usually saved for important days and my red lipstick can't be ignored either.

So? I look slightly different, and? Can't a woman decide to look a little pretty to work?

"No, you got it wrong K. Someone has a date". Hilda stated as a matter of factly. It was Kelvin's turn to give me that look.

"Don't be so sure, I haven't said yes". I told them as I took my seat on the dining ready to stuff my stomach with Hilda's terrible cooking.

"Why? Don't tell me it is Chris because....."

"It is not" I said quickly, shutting up my really concerned brother who looked like he could kill anyone right now.

I didn't miss his breathe of relief that followed my response.

"So there is someone else?" Hilda asked completely ready for a full gist but now wasn't the time.

"Can we eat already?" I asked trying to avoid whatever questions she had in store for me.

It's not like she gave me any gist on how she lured my brother. I mean, all of these years and just when I thought he stopped crushing, he finally got to have her. That explains his reaction when Tommy had hit her.

Oh I forgot to mention how he had been in the hospital until a few days ago. Kelvin ruined him for real.

He went into the kitchen to get the food while Hilda just stared a hole into my face expecting a response.

"Yes! And I might or might not go on a date with him today. And no Hilda you do not know him". I finally responded adding a response to what I knew would be her next question hoping I could rest.

"When do we meet him then? Are you sure he isn't married? Wait up, how did you meet?" She asked all in one and I couldn't be more grateful to Kelvin who brought the food finally.

Ignoring her I dished my breakfast which happened to be mashed potatoes. I dished just a spoon into my plate for two reasons. One, Hilda made the food and two, I want to be out of here as soon as possible.

"Won't you answer me?" She insisted.

How am I so unfortunate to have such a persistent friend.

"I will tell you when you let me know who is behind this recent glow of yours. I can tell there is a man somewhere". I replied her throwing Kelvin a look and focused on my food which by the way wasn't as bad as I had expected.

There was complete silence as I ate, the both of them exchanging looks. Idiots, but I was glad I found a way to make her shut up.

Or not!

"If only Fiona was here, she would get it all out of you". She complained.

"Talking about Fiona, what happened to her? Did she reach out to you?" I asked her but she only shook her head.

At first I was angry at her sudden disappearance but that anger has slowly started becoming worry.

"She had never done this, I wonder what must be going through her head". Hilda said

"Maybe she needed a break" Kelvin said

"From us". Hilda and I replied exactly the same time as if we had planned it before hand.

"Don't you two come at me, it was just my own thought". Kelvin defended himself from what I believe I can safely call our death glares.

Thoughts of Mrs. Harts reaching out to me about this already scared me. If no one cared to inform her, Mary would! I have been trying to stay as far away from that witch as possible for months now but stupid Fiona just found a way to put me into her hands.

"Don't speak of what you do not know then! Don't even think at all". Hilda told him but instead of responding, he just focused on his food.

-*-
Just as I expected, the first call I received was that of Mrs. Harts.

Thank you Fiona for putting me into trouble!

"I apologize ma'am"

"If I had known you will deal with them this way because they were your friends, I wouldn't have allowed you employ them. I understand Hilda's state and accepted her official request for a break but Fiona did not bother taking permission before disappearing from work. That shows how much value her job and her employer has to her". Mrs. Harts was really angry.

I knew this was Mary's handwork, I didn't need the heavens telling me that.

"I would try reaching out to her again ma'am". I replied her.

"No! I would send a replacement from the head office here. When she finally decides to return, she would have to face the board and I can assure you that she will be dismissed". She told me and ended the call before I got the opportunity to plead with her.

Fiona! Fiona!! Where in the world are you?

All morning, I tried reaching her but she never for once picked up her call or replied her messages. Hilda said she had never done this before but the truth is, she had one this once. Once when she stole Hilda's spot as the school uniform model, she ghosted on us for weeks out of guilt.

My concern this time was what has she done wrong? Or what must have gone wrong with her?
