My Heart only Beats for You

Yesseca suddenly thought of what had happened in Nashaland.

Tremaine had saved her.

He'd climbed up the tree with her so that she wasn't attacked by the wild beast. Yesseca wondered why was she so hung up over the camera in her bedroom.

And Tremaine had installed the camera for her sake.

For her safety.

And she'd misunderstood him the entire time.

How could she be so stupid?!

How could she be so silly?!

Tremaine was right. She was really silly, a silly air head!

Yesseca did not head back to work that afternoon.

She wanted to find someone to talk.

She really, really, wanted to.

She thought of Preslie.

Since Preslie wasn't working, she figured she could drop by her house.

Yesseca called Preslie.

Little did Preslie expect that Yesseca would want to come by her house.

But she still gave her address to Yesseca.

Yesseca took a taxi to Preslie's house.

It was an old neighbourhood.

Preslie lived on the first floor.

After knocking on the door, a beautiful young girl opened it.

The girl's eyes looked somewhat like Preslie's.

But she was obviously more beautiful and slimmer compared to Preslie.

Some were born slim, but looking gorgeous required effort. Yesseca figured if Preslie dressed herself up, she would probably be as pretty as the girl standing in front of her now.
