Blinded By Love Chapter 49 - The obsession
"Where is everyone today?" Sebastian asks as he walks inside with Marley on a leash. To think that just several weeks ago he refused to leave his room, let alone the house. He seems more calm, as the storm that used to live inside him has passed. I wasn't sure if he was as happy as we would have liked but he was more present, his voice was heard more and for that I couldn't be more grateful. "In here. Your brother and I were just talking about the New Year's Eve party. Perhaps this is the year you finally decide to join us." Mom says. Sebastian has been avoiding being in the public light for years, sometimes they even speculate as to just where he is.Sebastian shrugged, letting Marley tug at the leash for a moment before he pulled her back with a soft mutter of her name. "I don't know," he said, his voice unsure, though there was still a hint of that guarded tone I’d grown used to over the years. "A big party full of people isn't really my thing." He didn’t look uncomfortable in hi

Christian’s POVChristmas EveSebastian ended up calling Love last night telling her that she should in fact take some time for herself and her friends. I believe his words were We are going to miss you but we also dont want you to get sick of us.The only person sick without her presence is going to be me...but that is why I needed something... an excuse to go and see her, even if it was for just a minute. And that perfect excuse was a Christmas present.The question was what to get her? What would show her just how much she meant to me without it being too much or making things weird? I could already tell that I was walking a fine line when it came to Love. I didn’t want to overdo it. But I wanted her to know that I was thinking of her.I also wanted to get her something that she could keep close to her side at all times, something that would remind her of me, make me present in her every thought the same way she occupied mine. Something personal, with meaning, something small, intim

I thought about going to her apartment tomorrow yet I lacked the willpower to stay away today. So with the gift in my hand, I stood in front of her apartment door ready to knock, and let my eyes fall upon her beauty, tho the person who ended up opening the door was Mira. "Good evening, Mr.Callahan. What brings you here?" She asks even tho she knows the answer. "Good evening... hope I'm not much of a bother I just came to give something to Love. Can I see her?" Mira's eyes land on the box perfectly wrapped in red paper with a golden bow on top. "Love is in the shower... but come in, you can wait in the living room while I go and get her." I stepped inside, my shoes clicking softly against the floor. Mira stepped aside to let me in when the small dog came to bark at my feet."Calm down Charlie, this is... a friend," She says as she scoops him up in her arms. Mira gestured toward the living room, her expression unreadable as she moved toward the hallway. “I’ll let her know you’re here.

I could feel the slight tension in her posture as my hands settled on the small of her waist, but I held her there, not in an overpowering way, just enough to keep her close, to make her stop talking for a moment."Christain..." Love said as she put her hands on mine, yet she didn't try to escape my touch or step away from our closeness. The small gesture was enough to tell me that she wasn’t afraid of the closeness, even if there was still hesitation.“Love,” I said her name softly, almost like a plea, as if asking her to hear me beyond the words, to understand that there was no rush, no pressure. "There are a lot of things going through my head right now..." She says as she intertwines her fingers with mine, and my heart starts beating with more force than ever, sounding like drums in my ears. "I just need a bit of time to make a decision of what might be best... for both of us.""That is easy Love, on my part the best thing for me is to have you in my life... forever," I say as I

"For how long does one cook bread?" I hear Mira talk as she types into her phone. Every time one of her dates goes badly she comes home and tries to cook something out of the little things we have left in our fridge. Tonight it just so happened that we were out of bread."I think the word you are looking for is bake, not cook," I say as I lean over the couch, stretching my legs in the process as I remove the overheated laptop from my lap."That makes more sense," Mira says as she turns to our oven. "Bake at 375° until loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped or has reached an internal temperature of 200°... since when did the internet become so useless? Sounds hollow? How does hollow look like in minutes?" Mira asks as she turns the dial on the oven with frustration I get up and take the phone out of her hand."Half an hour to forty-five minutes... see, the small letters," I say as I tap her shoulder. "Relax Mira, it was just a bad date. You shouldn't get all worked up over

I stood underneath my shower letting the hot water fall down my body as my tears mixed with it. I often cried like this, in hiding then blaming the red eyes on the peppermint shampoo.The interview I had today... I totally ruined it... or the interview ruined me, one of those statements was true I was just trying to figure out which one of them made me feel better.What if this meant we were gonna lose the apartment?What if this meant I would need to move back home?No, absolutely not. That is a kind of low I do not want to sink down to.And Mira? I can't believe I let her down after everything she has done for me. It just feels like all of my luck has run out and no matter what I do I can't catch a break.This job would have been perfect, right up my alley. A chance in the jewelry design world but according to them I lack vision... everything I want to say has already been said.I can already hear my father..."I told you to study something useful that would bring bread to your table

"Love, come on cheer up. You'll find something soon." Our friend Tamara yelled into my ear through the loud music while Mira went to get us something to drink. It's safe to say that this party wasn't enough to bring my mood up and the flashing lights were starting to give me a headache."What worries me the most is the fact Mira would end up on the street because of me and she still has a lot of student debt to pay off, we were barely making ends meet as is." I say back with a level of devastation that eats at me. I was definitely not the light of the party."Not everything is lost, you can always strip," Leon says. Now we have known Leon for quite some time, and despite being almost twenty-eight he behaved like a hormonal eight-year-old boy."Stop it," Tamara says as she pulls back her red wig."Stop what?" Mira asks as she brings back the drinks."Nothing, Leon just told Love she could strip for a living." To which Mira smacks him on the back of his head."Idiot." She says as he rub

"Are you alright?" His voice was so effortlessly seductive, or maybe that's just inside my head as I bit back on my lower lip until I was able to snap out of it. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you." He says as he takes the cane and puts it in my hand in a way that he first takes my hand and wraps my fingers around it while I try not to melt underneath his touch."I'm ok," I say as he helps me to my feet."I tried caching him but he got away." He says as he looks behind him and then back at me."It's alright, the bag didn't have anything important anyway," I say while unable to take my eyes off of him. "I shouldn't have even fought for it.""Well, you probably shouldn't be out alone, especially on a night like this one. It's not safe for anyone, let alone someone in your condition." My condition? What? Stupid?"What makes you say that?" I ask him."I'm sorry I didn't mean anything about it... it's just, well, you know... I thought I saw you, um, struggling a bit back there. With t

Blinded By Love Chapter 48 - Wish
Christian's POVI stood by the window watching the car drive in and sit in park just waiting to see Love step out... our conversation was short and I didn't have the chance to tell her everything that had rested on my mind since yesterday. She agreed to go to the party with me and for a second there I thought that was just about the first yes I was going to hear from her... but yet again she retracted from me. I could feel my heart beat in my chest as the car's engine finally cut off. I watched closely, hoping to see her make her way toward the door with that grace of hers, the one that always seemed to leave me breathless, even when it wasn't intentional. But as the door opened only my mother stepped out and made her way to the house alone."What are you doing glued to the window?" Mom asked as she entered the house, our driver left her shopping bags on the side table and left. "Love won't be returning today." She says as she leaves her bag aside. "Why? Did something happen?" Did s
Blinded By Love Chapter 47 - Take the chance to be loved again
"What are you doing home?" Mira asked me as she stepped down from the ladder where she was hanging up Christmas lights, her eyes landed on the bags I had just set down on the floor leaving a loud thud. "What are those?" "The dresses Grace wants us to wear to the party." Along with the expensive accessories and beautiful masks. Hopefully, it will be enough to cover the dread on my face. I walked past Mira and sat down on the couch... it looked more like if I let myself fall down onto it like a sack of potatoes before placing my head in my cold palms. "Love, are you ok?" No, absolutely not. "She knows, Mira," I say before slightly lifting my heavy head. "Grace knows that I lied... she knows I'm not blind." Mira froze for a moment, then she placed the ladder against the wall, the Christmas lights now forgotten in her hands. "How? How did she find out?" Her voice dropped, low and careful, as if she was afraid of what came next. I leaned back into the couch, trying to steady myself.
Blinded By Love Chapter 46 - Foundations
The words echo in my mind, a jumbled mess of confusion, desire, and fear. Grace’s offer, so carefully presented, seems both like an escape and a trap, a solution, and a deception. I look at her, trying to read the sincerity in her eyes, but it’s hard to see anything but the quiet certainty she radiates. "Do you really think I have any chance of building a future that would be based on lies? Such foundations are destined to fall apart."Grace doesn’t flinch at my words, somehow I feel like she reflects on my words."You would be surprised... some walls can only be held up by a lie... I would know." Grace, who had always seemed like the polished matriarch, suddenly seems more fragile, for lack of a better word, more human."You said Christain would never forgive a lie, so why would you risk joining in on one." I still couldn't believe I was having this conversation... looking her directly in the eyes for the first time."You said it yourself, it's a risk... one that I'm glad to take bec
Blinded By Love Chapter 45 - Christian's heart
The air around me seems to thicken, every word she speaks driving deeper into the pit of my stomach. I want to react, to defend myself, but the weight of her knowledge keeps me frozen in place. The fact that she already knows everything about my past, about my deception feels like a crushing blow. "I was in a tight spot, I had everything to lose, and when the opportunity came... I took it. So yes, I admit it... I used you... but I also helped. Everything that I did... I did with the intention of helping Sebastian, not once did I mean to hurt him or you." My heart races as I try to hold her gaze, bracing myself for whatever comes next. Grace leans back in her chair as she looks at me. Her expression softens slightly, but there’s still that underlying steel in her gaze. "I know, Love. Amongst all the things I've learned about you I know that you are a good person, otherwise, I would have never let you stay with my family, and I would have never hidden the things I found out about you
Blinded By Love Chapter 44 - I know
"Actually Carlos, take us to "Quake" first. I suddenly have a desire for their pear dessert." Grace says, her tone light yet her posture seems ten. This sudden detour seems odd to say the least. "I thought you needed to pick up your dress," I ask as an uneasy feeling sets in my chest. Something was happening, I just didn't know what. "We will, you just need to try one of Summers' desserts, it's difficult to catch her in the kitchen after she gave birth to her son so an opportunity like this one can't be missed. Her husband is the grandson of an old family friend, Anthony, a great chef." I've heard of "Quake" before, it wasn't soon after it opened that it became the place to eat yet I've never managed to get a reservation. A Callahan however didn't have that problem. The tension in the car is palpable, though Grace’s casual demeanor does nothing to alleviate it. She’s still looking out the window, fingers tapping lightly against her knee. "Grace..." I start, unsure of how to voice
