APRIL’S POV
I don’t know why people always say this when they meet lesbian girls but there is nothing like needing a good guy in bed to make you straight. I am into ladies and that is it. He should respect this.
I used think that that back in the day and that made me lie to myself several times but now that I am out of the closet, I will not tolerate such bullshit. Coming out was not that easy for me but I am grateful that I got the courage to be true to whom I really am. I am into girls and that is it, which is normal. I am not going to take it that I need a man to make me straight.
“Thank you for offering to drive me here,” I told the gentleman as I got out of his car once we were parked outside our block.
“Come on, I will be rough and you will love me. Scissoring will not give you the satisfaction that I am going to give you,” He told me this and I slapped him.
“Respect me okay. Don’t very say that to someone when they tell you that they are not straight. It is so offensive,” I warned him but he didn’t listen.
He was huffing and puffing in anger as he forced himself on me but I kicked him hard on his balls before I got out of the car and rushed to my room locking myself in.
That guy is creepy and he better learn his lesson and stay away from me.
I went to my room and started packing my things hastily. After I was done, I looked through the window to see if he is still there but thank goodness, he was nowhere to be seen. He should know better than that. If he comes back here, I will do worse.
After packing, I felt hungry and since this was the last Afternoon home, I decided to take myself out to eat something. I went to KFC restaurant and bought some chicken nuggets and French fries with some soda. I enjoyed my sweet delicacy as I scrolled through my phone looking at the best places to visit while in Paris.
Since I had broken up with Hannah, I decided to take things slow till I find a girl who loved me for real. I would use this time I have on my own to grow my brand and to also have fun. I would go for adventures and take good photos which would be compiled in my portfolio.
After my lunch, my moods were elevated and I ended up stopping at Zara to buy some outfit and shoes. Their style is unique and I love that about them. I am going to focus on my career from now onwards and that is it.
I know the pain resulting from breaking up with Hannah will fade away sooner than I think. Life is like a wheel, we will always move on.
I had a good time trying the outfits though my moments with Hannah where incomparable to this. We were meant for each other, at least that is what I thought till s**t happened and she bailed out on me.
I paid for the staff I bought and drove back home. It was around 6:30pm when I got home.
I checked my email again and the agency standing for me told me that they would pick me up at around 8:00am in the morning. They had already booked my plane tickets and there is nothing I need to worry about till I come back from the work trip.
I was living my best life and if it was not for Hannah, I would be all over the top with excitement.
This evening, I went through my pictures and no matter how hard I wanted to keep Hannah’s pictures and the staff she bought for me, I got rid of them except for the silver necklace. I would not get rid of that yet. That is the only thing I chose to keep.
I drank up the remaining whiskey from last night. Not too much to have a hangover the next morning but just enough to make me tipsy which would be followed by some sleep.
I needed a good night sleep because the entire day tomorrow would be marked by traveling and settling into the hotel room my agency had booked for me.

The shrill ringing of my alarm is what woke me up. I wanted to sleep a little more but recalling that this is my big day, I jumped out of bed.
Pulling my hair into a high ponytail, I skipped downstairs to prepare my breakfast. I fried some eggs, sliced some mango and prepared some tea.
I ate breakfast as I listened to the radio. They were talking about how this year’s Paris fashion week hinting that it would be great and I couldn’t wait to head over there and experience the entire thing.
After breakfast, I hit he shower and after that I dried my body. After applying some lotion to each and every part of my body, I dressed up in a luminous green crop top and some denim mum jeans. I wore some white vans and I loved what I saw in the mirror. I looked sassy.
I took a moment to wear the necklace Hannah gave to me. This was my last memory of her and I wished to have it with me.
I was just in time before my doorbell rang. I threw one last look at my room before I descended downstairs.
I needed this. I needed a new beginning and who knows what I might find in Paris. I was positive about all this. The chauffer helped me with my bags and he placed it in the boot of the car. He was going to drive me to the airport.
I sighed before I got into the car. It is hard leaving one’s home but I had to. I had to chase my dreams.
The chauffer drove along the highway leading to the airport. I was looking through the window. My mind was far, far away wishing that I would meet someone who will love me and we would actually end up together and she would never leave me.
I wished for new honest and healthy love.
