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,
Selena was snuggled in a blanket against the doctor as they were watching the superhero movie, Wonder Woman together. It was past midnight as the credits rolled. “Cass?” “Mmh?” “I think you’re Wonder Woman.” She laughed softly, pressing her mouth against the side of her head, “Every woman is Wonder Woman, including you.” She raised her hand, tracing her jaw, “You’re… ambitious, intelligent and so beautiful. You got things figured out while I’m a living mess. You look like... Jason never made a difference in your life while I…” She sighed heavily, stopping herself. Cassandra asked, “Do you still have feelings for him?” “No… but it still hurts. He treated me so well. I thought he loved me.” Cassandra quietly said, holding her closer, remembering how he had stayed with her for three years, “I think he always loved you, Selena. He was just using me for my wealth.” “Are you rich?” “I make around $ 450,000 a year.” Selena coughed and Cassandra quickly added, “But that’s because I’m alway
Cassandra was in her office and a patient and her husband were sitting opposite her while her nurses were standing behind her. Since the past two hours, she had carefully gone through the full medical history of her patient. The husband said, his voice broken, “We’ve tried chemotherapy and radiation but…it isn’t enough doctor.” Cassandra nodded, “I’ve gone through your medical history, Mrs Dallas and I’ve considered what you are asking of me. The cervical cancer is spreading and surgery is your only option now. I need you to understand the consequences of having a hysterectomy.” “I know!” She began sobbing and her husband comfortingly wrapped his arm around her. Cassandra said, shifting through the files, her eyes softening, “You will not be able to carry another child. After having a difficult caesarian delivery, believe me when I say a second child would cause potential health risks for both you and the baby.” “I don’t care! I never wanted this! This is so unfair. Why did it have
She left her clinic around 1 p.m., wanting to drop by the hospital to see if the patients she had treated were faring better. Her phone vibrated, alerting her of a new message and she reached for it, sliding it open. From Selena. She clicked on the video, seeing that the white beast was resting on top of one of the rotating blades of her ceiling fan. How on Earth did it get up there? A message popped up: I can’t get him down. Can I turn on the fan? Silly. She called her instantly, the call going on her car’s Bluetooth system and Selena answered right away, her voice resonating in the car, “Doctor! How dare you go to work on your break, you workaholic slave of medicine!” She laughed, “Don’t do anything reckless, Selena. You might kill that beast and I’m not bringing another cat in.” She huffed, “If you were here, I’d climb on your shoulders to get it down. What if he falls? You know he’s like a fat 8 kg ragdoll cat right?! Omg, Cass! He’s playing with that lamp thin
Cassandra went to take a third serving of the chicken tacos Selena had cooked for them for dinner when she saw the cat sitting there, looking at her innocently. She tsked, sidestepping it and stared in horror as she saw colored paw print all over her floor, “Selena. Come here right now.” “I can’t. I’m busy.” She glanced at her. She was still sitting in a corner of the living room in front of another canvas and she rolled her eyes, “Your cat is putting paint everywhere!” “Ahh… okay.” “It’s not okay.” She frowned towards the cat and it purred at her, rubbing its head against her pants. She leaned down, opened her hands wide and grabbed it by the stomach, hastily lifting it off the floor. She ran towards the bathroom as the cat meowed at her and she dropped it in the bathtub. She adjusted the water till it was warm, grabbed a tiny toothbrush and a towel. To her amazement, the cat was purring softly as it licked the water that was flowing. Cassandra s
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
