Charles buzzed the intercom and before he could even announce it, the door swung open and a man dressed in a brown suit, carrying a simple briefcase, walked in. He delicately shoved one of the two chairs away, drew the remaining one exactly in the middle and sat before the desk, arching an eyebrow at Selena and said, “I thought I was seeing the doctor?” She nervously nodded, “She’ll be here in a second.” He checked his watch, placed the briefcase on the desk and cleared his voice, extending his hand, “Jeremy Mayer, Dr. York’s lawyer.” “Um, glad to meet you.” She had so hoped that he wouldn't show up. She shook his hand and the man kept holding, demanding her complete attention, “Might I ask about your exact relationship with the doctor?” “Wha—?!” Cassandra walked in, taking off her gloves and throwing them to the trash, “That doesn’t concern you, Jeremy.” He coughed, looking slightly offended. Cassandra washed her hand, eyed the rolling chair that had been pushed far away from t
Billy sipped into his cognac, taking a break, letting the bartender that he had hired do the job. Selena’s friends have helped him advertising the bar on that Facebook thing and now it was full as it has ever been, just like the old times. Yet, he began realizing that maybe it was really too much work to manage all this by himself. He had not been getting sleep as he should lately. His daughter was not returning his calls and the damn receptionist at the office had stopped answering on Cassandra’s request. All since the day he caught her in the arms of that young artist. It had been three weeks since then and he didn’t even hear from her. Last Saturday, in bed, his wife spoke words which had been haunting him since: Where did we go wrong, hun? She’s not even calling us anymore. He clenched the glass, gazing at the dark orangey color of the liquor. It was all his fault. He failed her as a father, failed to be more supportive.He heard some commotion and he raised his head, seeing a d
Selena put her palette and her brushes aside, unceremoniously discarding her jeans. Why did she always have to be the one naked? She daringly reached towards Cassandra, hooking her finger in the strap of her vest and the doctor instantly swatted her hand away, arching an eyebrow, seemingly displeased, “What are you doing?” “I was…nothing. Sorry.” Cassandra shook her head, kicking the seat lightly away from the canvas, before taking a place on it, “Bend over my laps.” Her heart leapt in her chest as those hot words hovered in the air. Selena was dumbfounded. She gaped at her, wondering if she heard right. Her legs shook as she approached her, falling onto her knees right beside her, her eyes meeting the doctor’s, trying to read her. It was clear that she wasn’t kidding about this. She hastily stole a kiss from Cassandra, blushing hard as she then held her knees and laid across her laps, not wanting to be keep her waiting. “Good, kitty.” Cassandra murmured appreciatively, caressing
Upset, Selena watched as the doctor rushed here and there, grabbing her coat, her laptop bag, her keys, her phone and every little stuff. She was now wearing her shoes. “You sure you don’t want any?” “No, thanks.” She popped one of the slices of kiwi she had cut in her mouth and sighed, unable to hide her sadness, “It’s Sunday…I thought we could spend time together.” Cassandra explained, finding support against the wall as she tried to force her foot in that shoe that was for some reason not fitting while glaring at the cat who kept following her around, “I work half-day on Sunday.” “Okay, then I’ll meet you this afternoon. We’ll go deliver the painting?” The doctor looked at her apologetically, “I know I said yes last night but I can’t. Jeremy called this morning. I’m meeting with him to finalize things. It’ll take a good while.” Her shoulders slumped and she frustratingly grabbed a piece of watermelon, “Fine. Go then.” Cassandra hesitated and then she walked to her, reaching fo
It's been three days now and Cassandra crumbled the note that Selena had left and threw it away, “Goddammit. Why can’t you fucking talk?!” The cat hissed at her, racing away and she heard things getting broken in her living room. She stood and went to pick back the crushed paper, crouching on the floor, rereading it again to see if she could find anything from it: Doctor, I’m sorry I was rude to you this morning. I thought you’d come with me but it’s fine. I know you’re a busy and important person. I understand that I can’t take you away from your work. I promise I will never ask anything that takes too much from you as from now. You’re wonderful and I love you. ~Selena She tried to think about the name of that art collector she mentioned but she wasn’t getting it right. Was it Rodriguez Sancho? The internet was giving her nothing. She knew she shouldn’t even care a bit about that woman, not after what Jeremy told her but who was she lying to? It always took the absence of someone
Cassandra awoke with a headache, vaguely recalling what happened last night. She called out frantically as it all came to her, “Selena? Selena!” She hastily stepped out of the bed, ignoring the aches she felt all over her body, rushing out of the room. Selena rushed in at that moment, catching her in her arms, “I’m here! Don’t worry!” Cassandra flung her arms so hard around her, pulling her close as she muttered, “Thank God, you’re alright.” She should be the one saying that. She mumbled, tucking a few strands of her hair behind her ear, “You made me worry so much, Cass. Come, I drew you a bath.” She clasped her hand in hers, pulling her out of her room, downstairs, passing by the living room till the back of the house where the jacuzzi was found.She stiffened when Selena approached her and began unbuttoning her blouse, “What happened, Cass?” She pushed the blouse off her shoulders and it fell to the ground. She walked behind her, gently undoing her messy bun, releasing her black h
As they walked out of the cinema, Selena reached for her hand, lacing her fingers with hers, “So… how was the movie? Hilarious, right?” “I don’t know… I’m still wondering about the surgery part.” Selena nearly sobbed as she said that, “The sad part. I almost cried. I thought that he would die.” Cassandra pursed her lips, “You literally cried, you soppy creature. He should have died. He had zero chance of survival. And did you see how that doctor was holding that scalpel? I almost lost it.” “Heartless woman. Remind me never to take you to watch a medical drama.” She chuckled, “So what now? Can we go home?” Selena elbowed her playfully, “You must be kidding. We’re just getting started!”Cassandra sipped into her freshly pressed juice cocktail and sighed as Selena dragged her into another clothing shop, “Ugh, this is not how I’d imagine spending time with you. Just go. I’ll wait outside.” “Oh no. Come on. I think I saw something for you.” She grumbled, reluctantly following her inside a
Cassandra walked out of the fitting room, ignoring the clear cursed words Selena flung at her. She observed her surroundings. The stalker was nowhere to be seen. Thankfully. But as she turned around to look back at her defiant kitten, she realized that he was hiding behind a tall shelf, still looking towards her. She was tempted to just go to him and punch him straight in the face right now. “Selena. Pay for that lingerie and the black dress and let’s go.” Selena grumbled as she hopped into her jeans, zipping it up. She picked up the shopping bags and Cassandra slid her hand around her waist, directing her to the cashier.The man behind the cashier scanned the items and then paused, slightly raising the lacy bra, “Ma’am, I believe this is a two piece set. You might be missing—" Selena reddened furiously, “It’s alright. Just scan it!” The cashier’s cheek became red as well, “I’ll just…uh get someone to get you a complete set. Just wait—” Cassandra interrupted, handing her bank card,
Cattleya lit another cigarette, leaned against the balcony, passively watching the party beneath. Some guests were still dancing, clearly drunk. Others were mostly chatting. It was rather calm now with most of the them having already head home. Her eyes searched for her good friend and she chuckled, seeing how April suddenly smeared fondant on Cassandra’s cheek, her adorable mocking laugh nearly drowned the sound of the music. Cassandra grimaced, extending her hands as if to capture her and the little girl went running for safety towards her grandfather who welcomed her in his arms. She then saw Selena walked to her, waving a handkerchief in her hand. She plopped down on her laps, raising the cloth to her cheek to wipe the fondant and instead she leaned forward, deviously licking it off with her tongue. She then laughed when Cassandra scowled at her and they ended up kissing, not giving a care to the guests who were stealin
“Ms. Kir! You’re here!?” Sitting on an antique velvet chair, a thin white cigarette in one hand, wine in the other, Cattleya watched in amusement as the woman reddened. She flashed her a seductive smile, exhaling the smoke from her lips, “Shouldn’t I be, love?” She swallowed hard, seeing how her arresting green eyes raked her body. She closed her eyes, biting her lips hard, unable to focus as Megan mashed their mouth together. It felt too good. Her other hand descended down her body, playing with the hem of her panties. She tugged it up firmly and she felt that pressure against her crotch. Megan whispered, licking her earlobe, her eyes twinkling mischievously towards Cattleya, “Ask her if she likes what she sees.” She moaned in protest and immediately regretted as the palm landed on her ass, smacking her hard.
“Hey, are you even been listening to me?” Nicholas scowled at her, realizing he had been talking to his sister since fifteen minutes and she hasn’t even paid attention. He noticed how she had been constantly glancing at her phone to check the time and he was bothered, “Do you have somewhere to go?” She froze. An hour was nearly over now and it was all nerve wracking, knowing that she could have the best damn time in her life if she just took a simple step instead of remaining here with her pesky brother. She bit her lower lips, “I… I have to go to the bathroom.” He arched an eyebrow, “Again? Didn’t you just go to the bathroom like ten minutes ago?!” She glared at him, “Don’t ask stupid questions, Nick. Why don’t you go mingle like mom and dad are doing instead of boring me to death?” He grimaced, &ldqu
Extra Scene(Because why not!!) Wedding Reception Megan raised her glass of brandy to her lips, taking a sip as she watched Cassandra and Selena, swaying elegantly across the dance floor on that slow love song. All eyes were on them, as they were having their first dance. She smiled to herself. They looked so stunning together. Seeing them like that, so lost in each other… it made her rethink about her own ideals on love. “You think we’ll ever have something as beautiful as that, Cat?” Cattleya glanced at her, letting out a small chuckle, “Who knows... Maybe someday I’ll get a chance to see you in a wedding suit… Mmh, if only you’d allow your dates more than a silly one-night stand. It’s a shame... really.” Megan snorted, playfully elbowing her, “Well, at leastIdon’t have a string of exigent lovers.” Cattley
When she heard the melodious song, Cassandra looked away from April towards the end on the path, seeing all the guests standing up, all attention directed towards a single way. She held her breath, catching sight of the bride.She had often fantasized about how beautiful she would look in a wedding dress but none came close to what laid before her eyes. She was simply magnificent. She wore a long dress with long sleeves, covering her arms with delicate lace, a white veil trailing behind her as she slowly took those elegant steps, walking down the aisle, her arm entwined with her father’s. Her golden blonde hair was partially tied on one side with a sapphire hair clip, matching the blue of her eyes, letting the wavy strands fall on one side. Her heart pounded in her chest, as she step by step, came closer to her. As soon as Selena looked up, her eyes locked with the doctor’s and a smile slowly appeared on
Cassandra looked at herself in the vertical mirror. The white suit she wore was tailor-made. A small blue flower was pinned below her shoulder. She instinctively moved a loose strand of her hair aside to not obstruct its sight. She exhaled slowly. Why was she getting so nervous? Was it alright to be this nervous? She walked to one of the windows overlooking the garden of the manor they had rented and she tried to calm herself down. From where she was, she could see the guests were already seated in queued white chairs. The place was generously decorated with fabrics and flowers, leaving everything elegant. It contrasted well with the greenery and white rose bushes. A bit further, she could see the pond where majestic swans were swimming. They would probably do some photoshoots there later. “Lovely creatures.” She muttered hoarsely under her breath, trying to distract herself. Her
“Ohoho. Don’t worry about that, princess. I kicked and beat the sh—” “Language, Meg!” Cassandra reprimanded as she stepped outside, catching a breath, relieved to see that April only wanted to greet the captain whom she was very fond of. Selena laughed, running barefoot on the grass towards her to hug her, “Megan! I missed you!” Megan embraced her with her free arm, pressing a light kiss on her temple and huffed at the doctor, “See Cass?Thisis how you greet someone. Both of your girls know that.” Cassandra grimaced, rolling her eyes, “Oh shut up.” “Mama, can I be a cop too?” She ruffled her hair in response, “Of course, you can when you grow up, sweetheart.” Megan mocked, teasing them, glancing over her shoulder towards the doctor’s parents, “Haha, hear that Billy? Not a doctor. Not an artis
One year laterYork’s Family House“You little devil, you’re getting paint all over me!” April only laughed as she climbed on Selena’s laps, smudging blue paint on her cheek. She was sitting on the floor before a wall she had just starting painting. “I want a blue unicorn!” Selena held her, looking towards Billy, grimacing, “Grandpa won’t like that on his fresh and beautiful white wall, right?” Selena cleared her voice, getting his attention, as she deliberately coughed, arching an eyebrow, “Right?!” Billy glanced at them from the kitchen counter and laughed heartily, “Of course, my princess can paint a blue unicorn if she wants one.” April victoriously giggled at Selena, hugging her, “Can we paint one, mommy?Please?” Selena relented, selecting a smaller, more appropriate br
Act of Love Adoption Centre Selena didn’t need to ask Cassandra how she felt to know that she was anxious. It was the first time she had seen her, taking so much time to choose the appropriate clothes to appear friendly and the funny thing was that she ended up wearing a blue pastel suit along with a silvery watch. A sinful casual combination in her opinion. She leaned towards her as they walked hand in hand, “You always look so hot in suits.” “Shh. I’m concentrating.” She teased her, “On what? Are you nervous?” The adoption centre has sent them the child’s details yesterday and they went through it together. The moment the doctor had seen the three year old girl’s picture, she had instantly noticed how she fell in love at that right moment. Cassandra scoffed, checking out for creases in her suit, “Don’t be ridiculous. I never get nervous.” They walked through the door, towards the reception and the woman brightly smiled, standing up to walk around her desk and shake hands
