37 Days Funny
It’s Sunday morning, officially 35 days left and I’m looking forward to just taking it easy today.Steph and Mia are still sleeping so I decide to leave the house to do a little shopping for some new work clothes. I don't have a ton of money to be spending at the moment but I do need more professional-looking clothes, I want to make a good impression on Marlene and the team.I stop by a nearby store and rummage through some of the clothes. I found a couple of outfits spending a tad more than I had wanted but it’s worth it. I picked up some black pencil skirts and some cute tops to go with them.I get back in my car and head back to the dreadful house. As I’m driving, I call my mom again. It goes to voicemail and I leave a message:“Hey mom, it’s me. Again. I’m having a rough couple of days just feeling out of place. I know it will all be better in just 35 days. I’m so excited to start working at my new job and have a place to myself again. I just bought some new clothes that I know yo

It's Monday morning and I’m lazily waking up and stretching from the long sleepless night I had along with the two glasses of hard liquor.Last night was weird but I can’t help replaying it all over in my head. If Wall Guy, or now officially “Funny” disliked me so much why’d he want me to drink with him and then not even want to say a word?Steph comes out of the bathroom with a towel around her body and a towel in her hair. “Hey babe! Bout time you woke up it’s almost 10:30,” she says. I furrow my eyebrows, rub my eyes with the back of my hand“Oh, shit really? I had a long night of tossing and turning.” I say and she laughs shaking her head.“I know bitch I’m fully aware, these black circles under my eyes didn’t come from me.” She says pointing underneath her eyes.“Sorry,” I mumble back.“It’s okay, you’re lucky I love you. So I’m going to get ready and then I need to head to my office for some work.” She says.I nod to her and snuggle into the blanket.“Alina and Ellie are coming

I’m sitting on the steps of the front entryway, although there is seating on the porch there’s just something about sitting on the stairs staring off into the distance and being alone in my thoughts.I wrap my arms around my knees and enjoy the warm California night. The grand fountain fourtyish feet away from me, is lit up with a warm orange light and making the most calming background noise. I think this is my favorite place of the entire house, go figure, it’s outside of it.I’m admiring the beauty when I hear a lighter flick and the smell of marijuana filling my nostrils. I’m startled at the realization of no longer being alone and turn around to see that guy Funny leaning against a large pillar smoking a joint. He really has a way of leaning against things and looking like he’s about to pose for a photo shoot without even trying.“You again?” I ask.He chuckles in a cocky way, “Me.”I shake my head and turn it back towards the fountain.“Are you like stalking me or something?” I

I stayed outside for an extra twenty minutes last night after Funny left, just processing everything. When I got back to Steph’s suite, I laid in bed wide awake with anxiety, I want to talk to Steph about all of this but I wouldn't dare wake her from her deep, snoring state, she'd kill me if I darkened those circles under her eyes for a second night in a row.…After I wake up from an awful quality of slumber, I join Steph and Mia in the kitchen grabbing myself a cup of cold brew coffee. I don't waste another second before diving into my questions.“Hey guys, did you know that X came back early?”They both look at each other confused. “What do you mean? And how would you know?” Steph asks.“Well…I went outside last night and that guy Funny was outside too and somehow it was brought up.” I say cautiously.They look at each other once more like they’re trying to figure out what question to tackle first.“Who’s Funny?” Mia asks with furrowed eyebrows.Oh yeah, I forgot she wasn’t here la

It’s now Wednesday and last night has left me confused. I feel like I made some sort of connection with Funny.Unfortunately, our common ground was having fucked up fathers.I felt as if we were getting into something deep, whether that be physical or emotional until it abruptly ended. I don’t know when I will see him again but maybe us not having a plan to meet again is a good thing. I need to keep my distance at arm’s length from everyone in this house despite whether I like them or not. I have a fresh start in just 32 days and I can’t be getting myself into any trouble with rocky friendships. I need to keep my head straight and keep focused.Mia has been in and out of the suite today like a chicken with its head cut off planning for this party tonight, the one I regrettably offered to go to with Steph.“X is going to be there tonight and everything needs to go perfect!” Mia frantically says to know one in particular.Ugh X. I’m so nervous that it’s making my stomach hurt. I need to

The gates of hell are opened for us by Stone and we all walk in together. The scenery is the same as Saturday night, blaring music, dark but lit up with LED lights in some areas, changing colors with the music, and of course topless women everywhere.Alina and Ellie previously told us that they’ll be hanging out with us for the first hour and then they need to go off to work.I’m trying to be more open-minded this time around and have fun for the sake of my best friend.Ellie leads us to a table in the same area that Steph, Mia, and I were a few days ago.For it being a Wednesday night, it’s packed in here, more so than Saturday night.Alina and Ellie offer to grab us some drinks at the bar while Steph and I sit down.My eyes guide me over to the VIP area to see if I can spot X on my own but no one catches my eye that I haven’t already seen.Julian is sitting on a black leather couch looking fine as aged wine, tattoos showing, that are accentuating his muscles. I can definitely see wh

Once I make it outside, I look around to make sure no one is out here with me, crouch down, let the warm night air enter my lungs, and quietly scream “What the fuck” with an exhale.I stay like this for a minute and stand back up. I cross my arms over my chest feeling a shiver come over me and just stand there with my thoughts for the next several minutes.I turn around to go back inside and right there in the flesh is the man I have been trying to avoid since I laid eyes on him tonight. He's standing fifteen feet away from me with his hands in his pockets looking at me.“Millie…” Funny or X, whatever the fuck his name is today, says.Whatever he was about to continue with is interrupted by the back door opening revealing Ghost, Adria, Penelope (who finally has a shirt on), that guy Slim I think his name is, and a couple of others I haven’t seen before coming outside and walking towards X to stand next to him.I get a quizzical look from about half of them. Penelope goes up to X and s

X’s last words leave me stunned more than finding out who he really is. The only girl I wanted sitting on my lap tonight was you. It replays in my head over and over making me blush more each time I think of it. He left my heart racing and it hasn’t stopped since he left twenty minutes ago. I’m unpacking my bags and although I’m feeling on cloud nine, I’m also very frustrated at the same time for allowing myself to feel that way. I don’t want to get involved with him, and although he says he and Adria are not a thing, she’s got a very tight hold on him. I don’t want to play with fire because I will get burned, it’s not an if but when in this particular situation. I try my best to shrug off everything that happened tonight and once I’m done unpacking I change out of my dress and climb into bed. I keep my thoughts at bay and drift to sleep.…I wake up at eight and Steph is not in bed. I start to panic and grab my phone to text her.Me: Hey Steph where are you?Steph: Hey babe'll be do

37 Days Epilogue
POV Millie 6 months later “Ow!” I screech out. “Well if you’d just hold still!” X says looking up at me. “Are you sure you’ve tattooed someone before and I’m not the first?” I ask starting to regret my decision. He keeps his gaze on me and shakes his head in disbelief, “I’ve done this before baby, I’ve tattooed Julian plenty of times.”“Seriously? Julian? That’s not making me feel any better,” I say shaking my head back at him. He laughs, “I’m hurt you don’t trust me.” “Oh, whatever,” I roll my eyes at him and he gets back to work on my arm. The past six months have been quite life-changing but also in a good way. Julian proposed to Steph last month. I swear I question his mindset sometimes. He pulled another psychopath role-play scenario scaring her to death. “Marry me or I’ll kill you” I mean c’mon Julian…she’s been traumatized after walking in on me drenched in blood that day. My mind goes back to that day. It was a beautiful disaster. Stone worked overtime cleaning the
37 Days Eye for an eye
POVMillie & X XAs soon as the words fall from Stephanie’s mouth that Millie is in trouble I book it out of the door. I practically fly down the stairs, holding onto the railing for support but jumping four stairs at a time. Time is of the essence, every second that passes is a second closer to Millie’s death. I don’t know Dani’s motive here but I can only assume the worst. I’m finally on the third level of the house, sprinting through the hall. I hear Stephanie and Julian behind me, gasping for air as they try to keep up for Millie’s sake. A thunderous bang fills my ears and my heart plummets immediately. A gunshot. I want to fall to my fucking knees and die. “No!” Stephanie cries out but continues running behind. “309! It’s 309!” Stephanie sobs breathlessly. 312, 311, 310, 309! I instantaneously slide my master keycard in the door. “Fuck, hurry up!” I scream out kicking the door. Fucks sake an eternity later the green light appears. I hastily open the door barging thro
37 Days The truth be told
POVMillie I tell Steph I need some pain relievers for an oncoming headache but really, my nervousness has gotten the better of me. In the past two weeks, X has been a madman in his office for more hours than not. I’m not entirely sure what is going on or if it’s just investigating the incident from two weeks prior. Sure, I told him I thought it was Dani that one day but I chose not to press the issue after, for now at least. I roam the hall for a few minutes, something in my gut is feeling…off? I feel the presence of someone behind me, I go to turn around but I’m pushed against the wall, hard. “Don’t. say. A. Word” a husky voice from behind me demands. Fear strikes me within. Could this be X role-playing the way Julian and Steph did? Something tells me no though. I know X’s touch, his scent, his body and this is not it, it’s not him. The fear creeps over every inch of my body and into terror. I’m forced to move my legs to a black door and I’m slammed against it facing forward

POVX“Ah, what the fuck man,” Julian complains as I hit yet another solid ball into the pocket. I smirk his way taking all the glory as I’m currently kicking his ass in pool. “Gimme the lighter,” I say with my hand open towards his way. He hands me the red Bic lighter. I spark it up and light up my joint, take a hard hit, and hand the joint to Julian. “Good shit,” I say and then blow the smoke out in his face. “Fuck you, bro,” he says as it goes straight into his eyes. Oops. “Shoot your shot already,” I badger him.I sit on the crocodile brown leather bar stool and lean forward to watch him miss the shot. “Calm your tits,” he says concentrating on the yellow-striped ball. “Fuck yeah!” He yells out, dammit he got it. My phone vibrates in my pocket and I lean myself backward to reach inside the pocket of my black jeans to retrieve it. My spine stiffen from the text from an unknown number. +34 85601-1337You fucked up X. Now you’re going to pay. Blood will be shed Who the
37 Days Taking my advice
POV Stephanie I bring my computer to life, type in my password, and open up the browser to search for morning flights. “Do you think everything is okay?” Millie asks me laced with suspicion. “Yeah mills, don’t worry this isn’t unusual,” I remark calmly. “Okay,” she balls her hands into a fist on her lap. She notably looks uncomfortable as I go to work and it’s distracting me. “I think I’m getting a bit of a headache, do you mind if I grab some ibuprofen from your room?” She asks rubbing her head. “Oh yeah for sure,” I say handing her my keycard and she gets up stepping out of the office. Okay, now I can actually concentrate. I click on various flights, Julian didn’t say anything about a return flight so I choose a one-way ticket until advised otherwise. I book them their usual hotel rooms for three nights, once again, I can adjust it at any time. I text Julian that they have a flight booked for 9:30 tomorrow morning. I close my computer down, turn off my office light, and

POV Millie It’s been an extremely interesting last couple of days. I sit on X’s lap wrapped in a light blanket on the balcony while we watch Julian and Slim risk their lives lighting off fireworks, the real Fourth of July. Although I hold my breath every time they bring a flame to the firecracker, the beauty of the lights over the ocean almost makes it worth one of them losing an arm. I snuggle into X’s hard warm body, wishing to be cocooned into him forever. I’m a lot more at peace now, X sat me down and explained his talk with Dani which I appreciate him doing. She’s still on my shit list though and I promise she’ll pay. …It’s Friday evening and It’s been two weeks since the Fourth of July. I’m physically and mentally in a better place but I of course still have my moments. X and I have been in a much better place as well since our brawl that one night. “Oh my gosh, you guys! We need to discuss chapter 23!” Mia says fanning her face. Oh yeah, somehow in the past two week
37 Days Flick you
POVXI pull Dani outside of the door and close it behind me. I run my fingers through my hair in frustration towards Millie. I don’t know what that shit was but this is obviously not working out right now. “Dani, look,” I start off as she looks up at me expectantly. “Millie is not okay right now and I apologize,” I say trying to be nice. “Look, X, it’s fine. She’s hurting right now and she needs someone to blame, it’s okay, I understand it and I’m not taking it personally,” she says being mature about the whole situation. “Thank you, but like I said, she’s not okay. Something about you is triggering her. She may be out of line right now but she is my main priority. I’m not firing you but I need you to stay away from me. As for work goes, I need you to go to Julian for everything. As for a friend, I like you as a person I really do but I need you to not text me anymore or come here unannounced or at all for that matter. Millie is my main focus and I need to respect her feelings,
37 Days The villain I’ll be
POVMillie I’m awoken by a knock at X’s door. X is still sleeping, miles away from me may I add. He was incredibly sweet to take care of me, holding me in the shower, dressing me, and sleeping next to me when I knew he didn’t really want to do any of it but he still did. For me. “X” I gently shake him awake. “What?” He grumbles out. “Someone is at the door,” I say. “Ugh!” He grunts, “stay here I’ll be right back.”He yawns and sleepily sits on the edge of the bed running his fingers through his hair and walks out of the bedroom. I rub my eyes and grab my phone from the nightstand, five o’clock?! My god that’s the longest I’ve slept in days, I really needed that. I have a text from Steph How are you feeling? Let me know if I can bring anything up for you. Do you need a spicy novel? Also, how’d the conversation with X go? That was two hours ago. Hey! Sorry I fell asleep. I’m feeling fine. We haven’t talked yet because we fell asleep. I might need some new yoga pants in a bit
37 Days Working overtime
POVXI’m on my tenth set of pull-ups, sweat glistening my entire body. My hair is drenched and pissing me off as it falls to my eyebrows, constantly needing to be pushed back. I’m trying to channel my rage without alcohol and working out is the only way I know how. I’ve been in my gym for two hours now, Julian joined for forty five minutes and then dipped like a weakling. I’m on my sixth rep when my phone vibrates and lights up with a notification. I finish my pull-ups, wipe myself off with a towel, gulp down some water and check my phone. Millie. I can’t do this right now. I do fifty push ups before I decide to text Millie back so I don’t lose my shit on her. She wants to talk tomorrow, I just don’t think I have it in me to face her yet. I don’t respond to her requests because it’s something I need to sleep on. We’ll see how I feel about it later. I do a few sets of Russian twists before I decide to end my workout for the night. I leave the gym dripping sweating, patting mys
