I rolled my eyes at the sensible grey-green swim suit I had just dug out of Cathleen's luggage. I twisted it around to inspect the back. Just as I thought, it was full coverage. This thing would cover me from collar to past ass cheek and today, I had woken up with a little devil on my shoulder telling me to give Sin a show.
Tossing the swim suit back into the suitcase, I sashayed into the bathroom where Sin was brushing at the sink. My eyes met his in the mirror. I leaned against the bathroom door, popping out one hip and leaning back in the most provocative way I could. I was gratified when his eyes ran down my body slowly. It made me feel incredibly sexy and desired when his eyes left mine and dropped to the length of leg exposed by the tiny satin wrap I had to my chest where the losely tied garment showed off some cleavage. When his eyes met mine again they were scorching. My nipples puck

SinclairLucas was the one who believed in the supernatural. I was a numbers guy. I didn't believe in luck or magic or the spiritual. There was nothing like a freaky Friday. It was the stuff of movies and scary stories. If there was no scientific explanation for it, it was a myth. As simple as that. But I had to admit that this vacation was feeling more like a fever dream than reality. I was seriously doubting my own beliefs at the moment.Believing that Cathleen had switched bodies with someone else was the only thing that could explain her recent behavior. She had changed in every single aspect. It was hard to believe that it was still her. Because the only other possiblity was that I didn't know this woman at all, and that was a much sadder reality.I had had low expectations for this vacation, but as time went by, it was starting to feel

SinclairThe bathing suit couldn't in any honesty be referred to as a piece of clothing. It was more like a slice of clothing; a very tiny slice. I was suddenly glad this was a private pool, I couldn't fathom standing there while other men ogled her in the barely there bathing suit. Cath didn't usually wear a lot of colors. I had never once seen her in a bright color.She probably knew that her in bright, glaring red would be lethal. The material clung to every curve on her body and left nothing to the imagination. The bottom looked like dental floss with how thin the strands holding it together were. I was this close to saying fuck it and carrying her back inside where I could do all the depraved things I wanted to her.She looked over at me and grinned before diving into the water and letting out an ear splitting screech. I smiled at the sound.

LondonI let out a sigh of relief as soon as I was away from Sinclair's too knowing eyes. What had I done? Fuck. I was so stupid. How could I have just lay there and let him eat me out like I was the last slice of pizza at a sleepover party. I didn't have time to go into full blown panic about my less than moral actions.I had watched Sinclair tuck our both phones into a box at the top of the wardrobe, and thank God I had. Hurriedly, I retrieved my phone and dashed into the bathroom. Feeling marginally better as soon as the door lock clicked behind me. Turning on the tap and wincing at my careless waste of water, I dialed Cathleen's number.She picked on the fifth ring."I've been trying to call you." She began."Cath, is there someone else

LondonI woke up slowly, taking my precious time to finally open my eyes. The room was still dark so I couldn't tell what time it was. It could be noon for all I knew; the black out curtains in the hut were wonderful like that. It was the first time I'd gotten up before Sinclair and I took full advantage of it. Sliding out of his arms carefully to avoid waking him up, I leaned over him and stared unabashedly until my eyes adjusted to the darkness of the room and I could see him.After showering last night, he hadn't put any product in his hair so his copper colored hair was full of unruly curls. Lashes a little lighter than the hair on his head fanned his cheeks. He looked sterner in his sleep, his features sharper in the muted light. God, but was he beautiful. I raised a hand and lightly traced his jaw. I liked the stubble on his jaw and I made a mental note to ask him to keep it."Like what you see?" His voice was soft and teasing.I blushed at bein

She was sitting alone at a table in the corner when I found her at the cafeteria. The place was mostly deserted as most of the breakfast crowd had come and gone. The few other occupants were bleary eyed youngsters who had probably spent the previous night going too hard on alcohol and were still dealing with nasty hangovers. I shuddered at the memory of college me who had once been them.Her hair was loose around her shoulders and the curls were more pronounced. She was wearing loose white pants and a light blue sleeveless blouse. There was an untouched plate of eggs in front of her and an empty cup of coffee.I sat in front of her and stared to my satisfaction. She looked precious and fragile, her shoulders hunched. She was looking out at the ocean but I didn't think she was actually seeing it, her eyes blank. I wondered what she was thinking. I would give all my fortune to be privy to her every thought. I'd give my soul even. I wanted to

London.I found a passable black dress among Cathleen's things. Paired with low black sandals and bright red lipstick, I was dinner ready. I decided to tie my hair up into a pony tail and forgot jewelry, except of course the large rock sitting pretty on my left hand.I grimaced when I saw Sin's outfit. A silky black shirt and charcoal pants. We looked a bit too -for lack of a better word- funeral."You look beautiful." He said."I should change. It's weird how we're both wearing black.""Don't. If they have a problem with it, we'll ditch them."I laughed. "You're looking for a reason to bail out on this." I turned back to the mirror and smoothed my hand down the front of my dress. I was glowing in a way I hadn't for the longest of time. My skin was tanned and my eyes were bright. I looked happy."Ready?" He asked.My eyes met his in the mirror. "I'm ready."Dinner was at the the patio of the

Sinclair.I hadn't seen Cath in exactly four hours, twenty six minutes and thirteen seconds. Not that I was counting or anything. I wasn't that needy.Yeah, sure.I scoffed silently. I could admit to myself at least that I craved Cath as much as I craved air.I had gotten used to us existing in our little bubble and I was feeling a little bit annoyed that these people had burst it and taken her away.Presently, I was hiding at the bar. I had excused myself a while ago from the table where the grooms party had been holding court and bonding over drinks and such, with the pretense of going to go make a call. I ground my teeth in irritation as I checked my watch once again.Bored, restless and itching to have Cath back at my side. I had never been like this. This wasn't me at all and I didn't know what had warranted this sudden change. This sudden urgency in me to be attached to Cath's hip.I was doing my best to concea

London The party stretched far into the night, long after the older people had gone off to bed and my feet had gone sore from all the dancing. At a point, the drums and cultural music transformed into pop songs. Most of us were drunk, and uninhibited so it had started to feel more like a club than a wedding. Sin had cut off my alcohol intake a while back, so I was perfectly sober. Sana and Jay were in one corner talking and giggling and occasionally making out indecently. To my complete surprise, Charlie and Rohan had been dancing together nearly the whole night. I wondered if it was just because she was drunk or if the alcohol had allowed her to do something she had always wanted to do. Those two were definitely going to end up in bed. The thought made me laugh. “What’s funny?” Sin asked me. “Charlie and Rohan.” I replied. He looked over his shoulder at them and let out a breath of laughter. “I called it.”“All that fighting and bickering always looked a tad suspicious.” I n

One month laterLondon“What if this doesn’t work?” I wrung my hands nervously. Cath rolled her eyes. “You’re the one that came up with this ridiculous plan.” I glared at her. “Hey! You’re the one who started the whole twin switch trend.” “Gabriel thinks this is stupid too.” She pointed out. I huffed. “I can’t believe you even told Gabriel. This was supposed to be between us.” “I’m not going to rub myself over Sinclair without my boyfriend knowing.” She said. “You should just go be Gabriel’s twin then. Ugh, isn’t there like a sacred twin code or something.” She shrugged. “I’m confused about what you’re trying to do here exactly, Lon. Isn’t Sin like so head over heels in love with you that he has a tunnel vision for you.” “Well, but what if?” I whined. I didn’t know what was wrong with me. Sin and I were okay, everything was perfect, and yet… yet I couldn’t shake the feeling that he could just love my sister as easily again. I knew it was just my insecurities rearing their ugl

SinclairI had just gotten back from work, a single foot inside my apartment when my phone rang. I dug it out the inner pocket of my suit jacket. “Hello.” “Am I speaking to Sinclair Donovan-Wells?”“Yes. Who’s this?” “I’m calling about Miss Albright, she’s been involved in an accident and you are…”The woman’s words trailed off. Blood rushed out of my head and I felt dizzy and unsteady. “Where? Where’s she?” I managed to ask through the lump in my throat. I was already jumping into the elevator and stabbing the button for the ground floor repeatedly by the time the woman began to rattle off the location. “Thanks.” I said and hung up. The drive over was one big blur, I must have run several red lights in my rush to the hospital. All I could think was that London was lying in a bed, hurt and she needed me. She had to be okay. She had to be. I should never have wasted so much time running around my feelings for her. I should never have even let her walk away from me, from us back

London“I need you.” Three words. Eight letters. The exact same ones from the very same person that had gotten me into the biggest disaster of my life. Maybe I was weak, pathetic, a pushover, whatever you wanted to call it. A wiser and stronger person would have blocked my sister’s number, cut off all connections to her and my parents. Because they had hurt me. The kind of hurt where after years and years of it, I hadn’t even realized that I was being destroyed from inside out. The kind of hurt where they had broken me so much that I thought I had to be the one constantly apologizing for myself. For some reason though, I just couldn’t take that final step. I wasn’t Cath no matter how much I wanted to be sometimes. I was angry and heartbroken about everything, but I knew that someday I’d want to talk about it more calmly and heal. My phone had been blowing up since everything had gone down. I had listened to my parents cry over the phone, but Cath had been radio silent except that o

London“I don’t think I’ve ever fully recovered from that night of debauchery.” Eva said as she joined me in the booth. It was the day after Adam and I’s surprisingly fun date. I had been surprised at how well he had taken my rejection, but also glad about it. I’d have hated to have been mean to drive home my obvious lack of interest. Thankfully there had been no need for that. Eva’s lunch break corresponded with mine so we had decided to have a quick lunch together. My treat, because I now had some much needed amount of money in my bank account thanks to March Madness selling out. The hype around it was still going on strong. I guess everyone was curious about the new bestselling book by a previously unheard of author. It felt good to have money, but it felt much better to be able to pay for lunch with my friends. Eva had paid all the other times we had gone out together and even though she had assured me that I shouldn’t think too much about it cause she had money to burn, I still

LondonI had been digging through my wardrobe at a loss for what to wear for my date with Adam when I’d stumbled upon this really cute pink blouse. It was an old cloth but I had never won it because it had been too big at the time I had gotten it. Almost five years later and it was now perfectly my size. It was also perfect for this date paired with dark skinny jeans and black ankle boots. It gave the vibe I had meant to go for which was cute but not too sexy to look inviting. A little stern, but still lovely. The blouse had big flowy sleeves that I loved so much. I put my hair into a low bun, applied minimal make up and a spritz of perfume, then left my apartment to meet Adam at the foyer of my building. I had set up this date earlier today when I had run into him at the dog park. My decision to talk to Sin had hardened into a sure resolve. No matter how it turned out, I knew I couldn’t go out with Adam. I just wasn’t in the right place to pursue anything with him and I had to tel

SinclairAs soon as Cathleen left, I rang Lucas up. “Hey, man. What’s up?” “Sips Plix in fifteen?” I asked. “Make it twenty, I drove out to my sister’s place.” He said. “Sure.” I hung up. Changing out of my shirt and slacks, I slipped into a dark grey T-shirt and black corduroy pants, grabbed my wallet, car keys and headed out. I needed to talk to Lucas and get his opinion on things, but in reality, I knew that even if he discouraged me from going after London, I would still do it. I needed him as more of a sounding board to know how to go ahead with getting her back than anything else. I had made up my mind that I wasn’t spending one more second moping around and waiting for some force of nature to yank us back into each other’s orbits. Lucas showed up almost ten minutes after I’d gotten to the bar. My half full glass of alcohol had been left untouched. “Hey, this had better be an emergency.” He said as he joined me at the bar. “I had to leave my sister’s cute kids halfway int

SinclairI had completely forgotten that Cathleen had access to my apartment. The first thing I usually did when I ended things with a woman was revoke her access to my place. It had always seemed unnecessary with Cathleen though. She was the last person that would show up out of the blues to exchange words or do something crazy. But then again, maybe I had always just overestimated her. I was in the living room with my laptop when I heard the sound of heels clicking behind me. I looked over my shoulder.The first thing I thought was that London was here, in my apartment. My heart leaped. It came crashing back down when my brain finally registered that it wasn’t London at all, but Cath. Now that I knew them, I could clearly differentiate them even half asleep. They were perfectly identical of course, a mirror image. But I had had London in my arms and fallen in love with every inch of skin on her body, so my soul would know her even in the dark. And this wasn’t her.I followed Cat

LondonIt was almost three am when we were all finally wiped from a night of drinking, singing along to the music Eva had queued up to her amazing surround sound speakers and laughing till our bellies began to hurt. All in all, it had been an amazing night. Eva’s bed was super large and so somehow we had all fallen into it in a tangle of limbs and hair. When I woke up, it was almost five am. My head felt like someone had taken a drill to it and my mouth tasted like it had been stuffed with cotton. I tried to silently slip into the bathroom but ended up making more noise than I had expected. The girls were either too drunk or too deep in sleep to notice because when I looked over my shoulder, neither of them had stirred. I let out a breath of relief and tiptoed to the bathroom. I quickly peed and splashed water on my face and rinsed my foul tasting mouth out before making my way to the kitchen. I gulped down three glasses of water then located an Advil and popped two down my throat.

LondonStatic buzzed in my ear at her words. March Madness had what? “I d-don’t understand. What are you talking about?” I stammered. March Madness was my singular published book, and it was a raging failure. Only about ten copies of it had been bought since it’s release two years ago. The horrible sales had made me depressed for the longest time, and my editor had also cut off ties with me afterwards. And now, she was telling me that it had sold out? I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t want to believe it. “Your book, March Madness.” She clarified, her voice never loosing that edge of excitement. I understood her excitement. My book suddenly making it big was like Christmas to her, it meant that she was about to line her pockets with some serious cash. And so was I. “It’s just become an overnight sensation. Six thousand copies were bought and now it’s on the New York bestseller list. Not on the top three, but I believe it could actually get there.” “Oh.” I said stupidly. “As I’m talk
