"So did you talk to him?” Shane’s smile turns into a straight line as his expression turns serious. I know who his asking about and I think he knows the answer to that question as well, but for some reason, he feels the need to ask it.I gaze out the window of the café, “It’s going to rain soon.” This place brings back memories of NYC. It’s such a cozy café, the vibe is soothing and calm, and the only thing this place lacks is the books, add that and this will be my favorite place in the world.“Ann, don’t change the subject.” Shane pouts as he devours his croissant.“No, and I don’t want to.” I take a big sip of my coffee and rise to my feet. “I think I need a walk.” My emotions are all over the place, I feel like crying but at the same time, I feel like I can smash someone’s head in.“Ann," Shane calls as I storm out of the café, I’m not mad at him I'm mad at myself for thinking about Lorenzo and allowing him to still hold such power over me. With a heavy heart I embark on my

Everybody knows that soul-crushing, earth-cracking, heart-shattering, feeling. That’s what I’m feeling now, I know I have no right to feel like this but I can’t help it. I did not think he would move on so quickly, I mean it hasn’t even been that long and he just shoved me aside like I’m an old pair of broken and worn-out shoes. My phone bounces from the bed as a tear run down my cheek, my mind is trapped in a maze of confusion and I can’t seem to find the exit.“Engaged.” My voice crack as that word leaves my mouth, “How is it even possible?” I search the floor for the answer.“Lilly-Ann, Sweetheart,” Shane strolls in, he must have heard my heart shattering to pieces. “Come here.” He pulls me to his warm chest, “There is only one solution.”“And that is?”“Well not alcohol.” He grins, “or sex.” His eyes widen in warning. Yeah, like I’m in any state to find a new fuck buddy. “Go to your mom’s birthday party and while your there you might as well talk to him.”“Why? Why would I want to

Clara seems to have everything here in control. She already arranged with the center for the party, the cake is booked, the food, the décor, everything. She gave me one task to do today and that is to pick up the cake from the bakery. Dr. Yummy and Clara are decorating the hall and I’m the pickup guy. Well maybe it’s a good thing, their lovey-doveyness is making me crazy, I swear they are having sex on the tables right now. Mental note, sanitize the table and chair, before use.Raindrops started to dance on the street as I pull into a parking. “Great.” I sigh, well I knew it was going to rain by the looks of the grey sky but I hoped it would be after the party. I scramble around on the back seat with my hand, searching for an umbrella. “C’mon,” The irritation scrambles in the pit of my stomach. “What the hell, Clara? No umbrella.” I sigh and clasp the steering wheel as I give up on my search. The bakery is on the other side of the road and it is pouring outside. I can’t run, I’m afrai

Have you ever experienced one of those earth-freezing moments when time and everything around you seem to come to a standstill? Well, I just did. My hands press hard against his strong chest as I try to breathe. He grips my wrist in his hand and bends down to my ear.“Not in public, baby girl.” His breath fans over my skin leaving goosebumps in its wake. I blink my eyes rapidly as I gulp down the last of my sanity. “Now if you would please excuse me.” Lorenzo strolls away leaving me spellbound, with my fingers prickling from our touch.Clara comes strolling by. “Hey, what’s the matter?” She furrows a brow, “Are you feeling sick?” “Huh?” I jerk my head in her direction as I lose sight of him. “Did you say something?”“Ann, what’s going on?” She looks at me with a concerned look in her eyes.“Nothing, nothing at all.” I know Clara only met him once but fuck he is not the forgettable type, how could she invite him. I check the guest list to see if his name is on it, but it’s not.“

Dusk brushes over the city and for the first time in a long time, I feel lonely. I had just made an agonizing decision, one that I might regret in the near future. I walked away from the man I loved, I had known for a while that our paths can not intertwine any longer. My heart feels heavy with the overwhelming love I still feel for him. I sink my head into the pillow and feel the anchor pulling me deeper into the realms of loneliness.A familiar creak of the door closing reverberates through the stillness. I jerk up to see who my intruder is.“Ann? You still awake?” Clara whispers as she tiptoes to my bed.“Yeah…” I flick the bed lamp on and push my body up. “I don’t think sleep is an option for me.”Clara sit next to me and looks at me worried. “You need rest, it's not good for you or the baby.”Easier said the done, I can’t get his face out of my head, that shattered look in his eyes. ”I know.” I pull my pillow to my chest and hug it tight, “But you didn’t see him.”“Ann, he is eng

Today is her four-month celebration and my return to work, I’ve been in and out, but today I’m ready to stick around, which I’m a bit nervous about.

Every piece of my being is consumed by his darkness, it is arousing every piece of light I had and changing it into his.His dark eyes are pulling me in, like a moth to a flame. I’m lost in his presence, my heart is pounding out of my chest as he slowly stalks closer to me. “Stop,” I warn breathlessly. My heart, mind, and soul want to leap into his arms and wrap myself up in his warmth but…. “You have no right showing up here.” I’m a mother now and he is a threat to my only piece of happiness.“I have all the right in the world, baby girl,” A smirk pulls on his face as he looks at me.“I’m not baby girl, I’m Lilly-Ann, Lilly-Ann Anderson, Editor-in-Chief of The money maker magazine,” I say proudly narrowing my eyes at him as he slowly walks towards me with a proud smile on his face.“I know.” He whispers in a mischievous tone. “And you will always be my baby girl.” A grin that can light up the whole of London paints his face, he stops right in front of me, his eyes burning into my sou

How close of an eye did he keep on me, is my apartment bugged and do I have people following me? And then the question that has been bugging me the whole night, what happened with his engagement? I haven't seen him in the tabloids at all, it’s like he disappears from the face of the earth, poof gone.“So is that a yes or a no?” Shane asks, drumming the kitchen table with his fingers.“Uh, maybe,” I replied a bit confused.“You didn’t hear a word I said?”I sip shyly on my coffee hiding my face behind the cup. “Sorry.”“What has gotten into you? You are acting weird. Is it a man?” Shane grins and moves closer to me.I almost choke on my coffee.“I knew it.” Shane slams on the counter making m and Ever-Lee jump, “Is it someone I know?”Ever-Lee s
