AMORADo you ever get that thing when you're sleeping, that uneasy feeling like something or someone is watching you... I quickly jolted my eyes open the second that feeling hit me and I landed my eyes on Olivia.. for a second I was so confused as to where I was but then I took my surroundings. Olivia had this biggest grin on her face and that's when I shifted my head and felt this softness under me. Fuck! I was sleeping on top of Tee. I quickly got up and that woke the girl under me up. I wiped my eyes, "shit.. Olivia that's creepy?" Olivia just smiled at me, "nope this is cute.." Tee slowly sat up from the couch and wiped her eyes too, "What's happening.?" Her friend ached her brow, "I think I should be the one asking that after what I walked in on." Tee and I looked at each other and then turned to Olivia, "what do you want here..?" The white woman rolled her eyes, "visiting my fucken best friend.. do I need permission from you before I do that.." I yawned, stretched my
When I got out cool breeze hit me and I regretted not having a jacket on. I hugged my tiny body as we walked to the opposite street to this biggest beautiful hotel there. I felt fabric on my shoulders and turned to Tee's shirt. I furrowed my brows at her coz she was only left wearing a vest. And I was feeling cold. "Aren't you...""I feel hot.. it happens after throwing a few punches." "Can you two shut up and come in." Olivia said holding out the door for us and we did as she ordered without any questions. She went to the receptionist and booked us rooms. I just couldn't wait to be in my own room and shower and then sleep in peace. I wanted nothing more than that. She came back, "okay ladies," she handed Tee one card, "you are both on room 677 and I'm on 678... let's go." Both? She said both right? I turned to Tawny and she shrugged, "don't even ask me." We all went to the elevator and it took us to the 6th floor. Olivia hugged Tee, "you sleep well and check your hand." Then
In 30 minutes I joined her back in the bedroom and she was sitting there in her sports bra and boxers, already eating pizza. She smiled, "pizza was the only one still open. I couldn't order something else." I nodded my head and didn't know whether to join her or not. I was fucken naked under her over sized vest. I could feel fresh air hit my girl under my waist as I moved to the bed. I joined her making sure that her vest doesn't show my sacred place. We ate silently and she laughed, "I'm fucken sober.. and my hand feels better thanks to You.." I smiled, "you saved me from that prick who couldn't take a no. So thank you for that.. and I had fun okay. I really did. You and Olivia are the best."We had small talks and finished off eating. When we were done I fixed the bed for us but I saw her take a cushion, "I'll sleep on the couch." I furrowed my brows at her, "this bed is big enough for me and you Tee come on"She sighed and scanned my body from my head to my toes. She made sur
PARISI have always tackled life differently since I was a kid. My dad used to say "I don't think any man will be able to fully take care of you.." and my mom would say, "I don't think you are the type to work for someone.."And guess what? They were both right, no man can take care of me and I most certainly don't work for anyone.After their passing I learnt to be my own person and depend on myself because since then I couldn't put myself in a position of getting hurt again.My motto since then has been wake up, Stay strong, work hard and look badass.. and everyday I managed to do that.Right at this moment, Right as I drove back to my office from seeing my little sister, I told myself a thousand times in my head to not get hurt by what she said, I pushed it at the back of my head so I won't have to deal with it. I had more important things to look forward to, I had a meeting to get to.My phone vibrated and I took it. I smiled at the message from my girlfriend.BABY: Hey beautiful
TAWNYAfter the dinner that I was now glad I agreed to I drove Paris home. A lot was happening with Paris and I was realizing everyday what kind of a person she was. She always loves acting strong like she has everything under control yet she's still fragile. Once she cares about something she put all her attention to it. I decided to forgive her for the stunt she tried to pull last night. For the sake of peace.. I mean after all, she did promise to work on being better. "I had a good time.." I said parking outside her place and she turned to me flashing me that smile of hers, "I did too. Thank you for allowing me to do this. Even though those bloody journalists hijacked our time." I laughed, "well Paparazzi seems to follow me these days. I guess they'll keep a close eye on me since the incident with Mimi.." She held my chin and pulled me towards her then just looked at me. I also looked at her and she smiled a bit, "God you are so sexy.." I laughed, "really Paris." She nodded h
Olivia suddenly changed and became serious, "Amora is a great girl Tee...not to mention beautiful...and she is into you. Honestly"I frowned at her last sentence then looked at her like she has lost her mind. Then slowly started to laugh at her.... then it went up, I laughed, really laughed at her until she rolled her eyes, "go fuck yourself Tee, you will see for myself one day. Don't say I didn't tell you.""Fucken leave this. She doesn't want me like that.." She nodded her head a bit, "right believe whatever you want to believe. but she's so in love with you. She said that when I grilled her on Sunday." I looked at her trying to search if she was pulling my leg or just playing with me. I mean Olivia was an ass. But she looked serious it scared me a bit. I sighed, "let's stop talking about this okay.. either you drink my beer or you fucken leave.." She laughed, "whatever.. let's go sleep.."..The following day I woke up feeling very lazy and wished I could give myself an off day
AMORAThe drive to Tawny's home had me silently freaking out a bit. I had no idea what to think of the older woman. I mean she wasn't just any mother, she was Tawny's mother. I had no idea why I kinda wanted to make a good impression and I had no idea how to even make that happen. "Stop over thinking this okay... you'll be okay..." she said sounding like she was reading my thoughts and I rolled my eyes, "easy for you to say.. You're not on your way to meet my mom.." She giggled a bit, "see I'd look forward to meeting your parents. The way you talk about them is so nice. So I know they were amazing people. Same as my mom.. you'll be fine I promise. So don't be hard on yourself okay.." "Right... keep talking it's helping.." She laughed, "Just be yourself.. and I tell you, she'll be herself too.." I sighed and decided to calm down a bit. If I didn't think about this a lot I will be fine. I could think about anything else other than this, but it was huge. I couldn't just avoid it. Ta
We reached her car and she opened the door, took the plastic bag I put on top of the car and put it inside then she shook her body, "hop inside the car. We gotta run.."I laughed and kissed her cheek without even thinking, then jumped off her back looking up in the sky. Rain hit my face and I quickly looked on the floor, "you are going to pay for making me run in the rain.." We both got inside and she started driving. I was wet and dripping in the car, thank God it was leather inside or we were in trouble. I shivered, "fuck Tawny why did you let us play in the rain like that?" She laughed entering a building and driving underground, "because you dumped me and became best friends with my mom. Won't let you get away with that.. and because it turned out fun.." I smiled genuinely, "it was fun.. except for the part where my body ate my ice cream and not me.." She parked, took the plastic bag and got out. I followed starting to feel cold now. "Aww you want ice cream..?" "That's the
My relationship with my sister was the best and Luna tried to spend as much time with me because I was leaving her. She made me feel like I was dying and never coming back, but I understood and wasn't complaining. My last days at work were amazing until on Friday they told me they have a party for me. God I hated it but it was tradition coz I was going to Thailand. I didn't know how I'd ask Paris to go but was so fucken happy when she told me she has a very important interview that she couldn't move. She felt bad that she could not come but I assured her that it was okay. Little did she know I was relieved. I didn't know how she and Tawny would act when they were to see each other. So she promised to come sleep over at my place when she was done with the interview. I dressed pretty nice in a navy blue notch lapel 2 piece tailored suit for women, a white shirt underneath the blazer and black heels. I wanted to leave with a bang. I got to the office and as I guessed all eyes were o
"Okay I just got an sms.. the ride is.. oh my God Tawny hello.." Freya said the moment she saw who was at the door.I was forced to open the door wide and move to the side so that she can walk in. She hugged my friends and said, "Frey frey and Tony... right?" My friends smiled like idiots that they were, "yesss.. God it's been forever and you still remember us.." Antony smiled, "would love to catch up but we have to go.. Amora it was great surprising you. You're a darling. Love you so much." I kissed his cheek and Freya was smiling from ear to ear, "you guys be good. Bye now." After closing the door my place became so quiet the only thing I could hear was the rapid beating of my heart. I could feel it in my ears, they were hot. I hated feeling like this. I wished Luna was up so I wouldn't have to deal with this on my own. I turned towards her and found her looking around the house. Right there anger slowly built in and seeing her here NOW was just pissing me off."You've done a g
AMORAMy party was greater than I thought. I was enjoying the company and the food actually. They forced me to drink telling me I won't drive, I refused and said I want to remember today but mostly I wanna study sober coz I had an exam on Monday. As for them.. well they got drunk. Around 9pm Paris got up, "okay.. I think I must say something to make this party official.." Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to her. She smiled, "so this kid over here.." she said that motioning for me to go to her. I did and she put her arm around my shoulder, "she's my world. Took me hell to notice that I haven't been really great to her..." "Skip that part.. you're amazing now.." Luna cut her off and we all laughed. "Okay..definitely listening to this one coz she's my sister's wife.." We laughed again and Paris cleared her throat, "what I mean is, I'm totally proud of you baby. You've not only done you proud but also our parents. I know they want what's best for us hence they keep th
The following day I had school and work later. The morning lecture was important. I saw Freya and she came running to me. "Hey you stranger.." She looked different, good different. I pulled her into a hug, "how are you.. oh my God you look good. Did you get a boyfriend?" She laughed, "You're awful.. I'm good.. since you started working we hardly see you."I nodded, "sorry babe, I wanna graduate at the end. How's second year treating you though?" "It's amazing but too much work, I can't wait till I'm like you brushing shoulders with the big dogs." We talked a bit until I saw the time, "I have to run. My signature is important there.."She hugged me again and she smelled so good, I shook my head, "you definitely got a boyfriend.."We both laughed then I got a taxi to pass by work. When I got there Rachel was smiling like an idiot at the front table. I raised my brow, "I didn't know my signature could make you this happy." She laughed, "Mrs Banks kinda said something so I'm just
AMORANerves were killing me I could actually hear my heart beat from my chest. What the fuck was I doing? Why did I agree to this? God couldn't I tell Tyra that I already had plans when the internship ends. But then again I'd be having nothing and totally wind up homeless... "Please breathe.. I don't want you dying in my office." Tyra said walking in and I sighed, "like can't they do this Skype thing when I'm in bed wearing my PJs and definitely NOT today." She laughed, "nerves are good.. keep them up." "Mrs Banks I cannot breathe.. what part of that is good..?" She brushed on my shoulders, "Don't worry.. you'll do great.. they'll call you any second from now."Second.. God she said any second. I felt like I wanted to go to the bathroom..maybe take a little shit and I'll be fine after that. My stomach was in knots. My Skype tone kicked me back to the moment I was dreading. I looked at Tyra, "I won't do this with you in here." She took her headsets and put them on, "I'm working
TAWNYMy life felt like a rollercoaster. Everything was happening so fast and I felt like I was losing myself in between. Have you ever wanted something so bad but then the universe was telling you not to pursue it? I was in that boat at the moment and it sucked to be in it. When I took that Monday off I never thought Amora would show up in my bedroom when I was taking a bath... but seeing her there looking all cute and freaked out at the thought that something had happened to me kinda put me at ease.I knew I shouldn't have had sex with her as it was going to complicate things that were already complicated but I stupidly couldn't stop myself. After she left I felt like shit and regretted putting her in that position again. The plan was to create distance between us and not to give her hope.Everyday for me was hell. My mind was thinking about the past six months and how fast they flew by. I felt guilty for what I did to Mimi and Paris. That was not me and I needed to push them awa
AMORA'S POV I sat anxiously waiting for my sister to start talking. I had no idea what to expect but by how good she seemed it didn't look bad. "So I want to apologize..." My heart sank as guilt started building in. "Look I know I haven't been the best sister to you. I realized I measured my being there for you with money. The more money I gave you, the more I felt I was there for you..." If she wasn't nice to me then I'd feel better and my stomach would not be in knots. I wouldn't be thinking about everything I was doing with Tawny behind her back. She felt shitty for not being a sister and I felt somehow responsible for the break up of her and Tawny. ".. It made things easy.." she continued, "not seeing you all the time and just replacing that with money seemed better. You know you're like dad... how you talk and how wise you are, you are exactly him. At first I was running from having to deal with that...our Parents' death. I was running from having to be here for you emotion
The following day was said to be new from my talk with Luh, she said I shouldn't think about anything and go to work. She'll go to school and come back again. I didn't mind that.. her being here was helping keep me busy and I also missed her.I cleaned up pretty good and put on my pants and a shirt with boots. It was a little cold. July sucked. I requested and was at work on time. "Morning boss lady.." I said the second I saw Tyra and she ached her brow at me. God she hated it when I called her that. I smiled a bit and rested my hand on her shoulder, "what can I do to put a smile on your face.." "Tell me you're ready for a meeting with Tawny in 10 minutes." Fuck!!! That I wasn't. She must have seen the horror look on my face. She laughed a bit and asked, "did you open the envelope I gave you?" Fuck... I did not do that..I swallowed, "umh.. I'm so sorry no I didn't.." She just looked at me and then I started panicking, "God Tyra please tell me it didn't hold work for today or w
I laid there on my side facing away from her. My mind was all over the place. How could I allow my body to put me at such a vulnerable position. I knew how I felt about her and I felt stupid coz I knew how she felt about me too, it was different.Her phone started ringing and she didn't even move a bit, but by the way she was breathing I knew she was wide awake and could hear it. God! That's how our calls were being ignored earler.I sighed regretting this moment already because it wasn't going to change anything. I slowly got up into a sitting position facing away from her. "..leaving already?" she said and I suddenly felt like crying. Whether I stayed or not it wouldn't matter coz she didn't want to be with me. I got up, "can I use your bathroom?" "Are you okay?" I nodded my head, "bathroom..." "You're facing it... Mimi are you sure you're okay?" If I wasn't almost in tears I was going to laugh my ass out. For someone who didn't want to be with me, she sure acted like she car
