last update Last Updated: 2025-02-18 21:54:15

I gradually tried to wake, and darkness greeted me with the still hours of the night. Stress and exhaustion would have put me in such a deep sleep that I had no concept of time. I let out a huge yawn as if to free myself of the excessive fatigue still hanging on my body while I stretched my arms and legs, fighting off the hold of sleepiness.

I swung my feet off the bed and made for the living room, where I hoped to find Adrian glued to his favorite channel. To my disappointment, he was not back yet. I settled myself comfortably on the couch with the remote control in my hand, switched on a movie, and willed the built-up anxiety to go away somehow.

The film had barely started to take my interest when Adrian's voice sounded loud and clear from the living room: Well Adrian, baby, where are you? With sincerity of love and concern, he asked. The instant I heard such a familiar voice, a smile crossed my face. I could sense that indescribable thrill which comes just when he arrives home to m

    "I have the right to see you anytime I want, morning, afternoon, or evening, or night or midnight," Adrian said, sending chills cascading down my spine in hushed tones reminiscent of a promise. So much present emotion was warring with his affairs that I felt utterly unstrung. What was happening with Adrian? Why was he so sure, so intense? I needed to understand his mind at work because of this force drawing me into his chrysalis."Please talk to me," I said, my voice light, a soft summer breeze. "What is all this about?" My eyes searched beyond every possible imperfection in his face, hoping to find the one that would give me an answer. My heart drumming painfully fast with expectation. Adrian's face softened, eyes glinting with that electric spark. "Okay," he said, "let's go to the bedroom." His voice, low and husky, held that promise. "So I will explain it to you," he continued, pausing as if to consider. His eyes were dancing with mischief now, as if to say he might take his chance

    I really thought I was going to escape this time-my feet hitting the floor in the most desperate escape attempt when, suddenly, I felt rather trapped in this strange place. The sound of my breathing seemed like thunder in my ears, and anticipation raced through my heart.But it was in vain; he caught me. I entered the visitor's room without locking the door, and Adrian also entered with agility and speed. He shut the door, and the lock clicked ominously like a death knell in that room.The sound chills my back, creating feelings of dread and foreboding. There is no escaping; I know that.Adrian's eyes brightened up with triumph as he neared me. "Where are you running to?" he said, in a low voice and sinister tone. "You can't escape me, okay?" He sneered at me while his eyes glinted with a sinister intent. "While I am a good man," he added, with such heavy sarcasm that it felt like a goddamn truck ran over me, backward.Lying down in bed, I laughed to hide the creeping fear up my spine

    He exhibited an almost palpable sense of defeat in voice tinged with disappointment and exasperation as he spoke. "Okay, my penis is no longer erect from asking so many questions," he answered while avoiding my gaze as if seeking a way to escape. I could only feel a smirk on my face from a suppressed sense of victory and amusement at his miserable lot.His trousers caught my eyes. I noticed his pride had all but fallen to the ground, like a cut-off tree. It felt so funny; I could feel a giggle yearning to be released any second. "Mtchew", Adrian said, looking depressed and annoyed, with the whole body language of a beaten man."Mrs. Question," he called me, his voice dripping with sarcasm, frustration, and humor married into one split-second brush. I couldn't really help laughing, each sound like a mighty riffle pouring out of me, my whole body shaking with mirth as I considered the sheer absurdity of the situation. Adrian's plans had been thwarted, and I had escaped for the time bein

    THE NEXT MORNINGThat is the noise of the alarm clock. The voice that seemed to come hauntingly through the walls of sleep woke me up immediately. But I was hazy and too enticed to be engulfed by the soft facade of my bed covers. I nestled deeper into the blankets, releasing a soft sigh, as I tried to shake the coils of sleep off my mind.And then I remembered, I had to follow Adrian to his office-that oven hot place-to meet his designs team today. Contemplating all that brought me an incomprehensible wave of energy and left me sitting up in bed with my mind racing.With the comforter on the floor, I swung my feet over the edge of the bed and left them dangling. Standing, I slowly reached up, stretching arms high overhead. I arched my back, attempting to dispel all of the sleep from my body.The movement took me to the bathroom, quiet steps against the floor marking the start of my morning routine. I douse my complexion with cool water and brush my teeth until the familiar mint flavor

    I couldn't stop smiling as I stood there, listening to Adrian's request. "Baby, this is an office, not a party or club," I softly said with my shaking head of amusement.But Adrian's look stayed serious, his eyes boring into mine as he replied, "Yes, I know, but dress attractively for me, would you?" The bedroom posts had, long ago, developed a low sound and hum. The smirk that began to grow on his lips was from the wicked pleasure he got in torturing me with his pleading looks and boyish charm.Allocating enough time for him, thus, with a smile, I turned and began walking toward the bathroom with water beckoning my warm body like a siren's call. Bath time! The water soothed my eyes against the final remnants of sleep and made me stand there leisurely, washing my bum, rinsing off my taxed body, and keeping my thoughts of Adrian alive as I entered the shower.The water soothed like a balm upon my needy skin, washing out every trace of fatigue from the previous night.

    "Are you scared?" Adrian asked, his voice soft and gentle as he noticed my demeanor. His eyes were fixed on mine, intent piercing those depths searching for signs of fear or worry. I tried to conceal my emotions, putting on a brave front, but everything about me betrayed it. My hands were shaking, my heart racing - all efforts to calm were useless. The air in the room felt like it was thickened, with Adrian's eyes boring into mine with a soft yet intense gaze.Awkwardly shifting, my eyes honed in the other direction from Adrian's piercing glare searching for the truth. Care etched lines into his visage, knitted the brows across a waiting form for the answer I would give. The silence was heavy and complete between us, save for the dull drone of an air conditioner while I steeled my mind to find the right words to ease him."I got you baby." He said, his voice soft and soothing as he clasped my hands in his. He was warm in the grip, giving soothing warmth against the growing anxiety in

    Jacob's handshake was warm, hanging in the air as I withdrew my hand in an attempt to bring some equilibrium back into myself. "I have to say, Mam; you really look great," Jacob added, his voice rife with excitement as he grinned at me. Intensified with the illumination that emanated from his eyes, his whole visage seemed to stir into life with the utterance of those words.A slight grin crossed my face as relief flooded my being, and there I was in the act of suppressing discomfort. "My pleasure, sir," I told Jacob as we shook hands. His handshake was firm yet gentle, along with a grin that captured warmth toward me.The sound of contact between our two hands was a soft muted sound, concluded around with greetings and not much more. Calming warmth washed through me as I stared into Jacob's eyes and saw the kindness in his expression seem sincere.

    I had my drawing pad clutched up against my chest, its corners digging into my ribs, as I shouldered my bag of art supplies. The house was too quiet. My bedroom door creaked softly when I opened it, and I hesitated, holding my breath. When no one stirred, I exhaled and slipped out, stepping carefully down the big staircase. My socked feet were silent, but every creak of the old wooden railing was very loud in the quiet.And then I got down there, and I heard his voice—deep, firm, and familiar. Samuel. My stepfather."I don't want to hear excuses. Just finish it," he bellowed. His voice carried from the dining room, off the walls. I peeked around the corner at him, phone to his ear as he paced back and forth. His suit was perfect, just the light from the chandelier gleaming off his cufflinks. He looked very irritated.I was hoping he wouldn't notice me; I grabbed my bag and tried to make a run for the kitchen, but just like always, I was out of luck. My bag hit the corner of one of the

    A thought began to form in my mind as I read the blueprint proposal:"I should surprise Adrian by correcting it." I knew enough about blueprints and government proposals to be confident in making some capable contributions to the project. I was then filled with exhilaration and purpose, knowing I had the ability to positively affect Adrian's very fabric of existence.Sitting at the table with the blueprint spread out before me, I began to assess all its details-the lines and the curves-with a keen eye. I would keep on correcting every mistake and documenting every detail, making sure everything was in order.Errors started to reveal themselves to me: minor mistakes in the blueprints that, if I didn't point them out, could very well be a source of major problems.I inhaled, my mind narrowing on the undertaking before me. I surveyed the scene around my phone, researched the Dubai Government's likes and dislikes, their regulations, and their requirements.If I could cater the proposal to
