“Happy?” I asked. “Tell me a story,” she said. “I need to fall asleep again.”I furrowed my brows for a bit before I finally spoke. “Once upon a time, there was a little caterpillar named Alfred,” I began. “Alfred was the strangest creature in the entire meadow, and he was always seen as the odd o
MARCUSOne thing I'd come to accept was that every time Richard Jones called, it was never about something good. The last thing I needed was for him to disturb me on a random Saturday evening while I was trying to enjoy a Laker's game. I'd just finished having sex with Emily, and afterwards I'd take
“I just wanted to make sure that you weren’t up to your old habits again,” he said. “Someone thinks it’s a good idea to mess with Ethan and Olivia while they’re away on a trip, and I wanted to make sure you hadn’t broken our pact.”At the mention of Olivia, my fingers immediately began to twitch. Th
Sunlight slowly crept into the room, and I slowly opened my eyes to find Ethan still sleeping beside me, his chest rising and falling slowly. I turned to my side, taking in the peaceful sight of him sleeping and wondering how he could look so handsome even while asleep. It was almost as if his featu
I had just stepped into the bathroom and turned on the shower when I heard footsteps behind me.“Don’t you dare,” I warned, without turning around.“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” he said, feigning innocence. When I turned around, I saw him leaning against the bathroom doorway in nothing b
“Fuck!” he groaned, stepping away from me slowly and chuckling to himself. “What?” I asked. “Nothing,” he replied, before he leaned forward and kissed me again. “I just love you so freaking much.”“I love you too,” I replied. We stayed like that for a while, just standing under the water with no
By the time we finished having breakfast, the sun had already broken through the trees, and it was starting to feel like early spring. I stood in the kitchen doorway with my arms crossed and eyes squinting into the light as I stared outside at the lake. It was a beautiful day, my stomach was full, I
I stood in front of my canvas and took a deep breath. The air smelled like damp earth and pine needles, like the kind of crispyness that made your lungs feel cleaner. There were a few birds chirping in the trees, and the forest whispered around us as I stared at the blank canvas and just appreciated
Oh, God!"Chris," I whispered, my voice barely above a whisper, “what happened to you?"He flinched like I'd slapped him, and his eyes darted down to the marks. "D-don't l-l-look at that,” he said, stammering as he stepped away from me, keeping the gun leveled at my head. "What happened to you, Chr
I'd never felt more fear in my entire life than I did staring down the barrel of a gun, with Chris standing on the other end. To say that I was terrified would have been the understatement of the century. I froze completely, like a deer caught in headlights. And it was as if my brain had switched of
"I'll always worry about you," he said. "It doesn't matter what the circumstances are.""That's so sweet," I said. "Now run along and let me finish packing up here."He looked like he wanted to argue, but I stared him down adamantly until he gave up and shook his head, accepting his own defeat and t
"Please tell me you're joking," I said, staring at his canvas in disbelief. "If you tilt your head slightly to the side, it's not so bad," he replied. "Seriously, I think it's even flattering.""Ethan, is this really how you see me?" I asked. "All you've done is draw a slim brunette with huge tits
