~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Resting a hand against the wall, Selena raised her head to feel the hot water streaming over her face. In all the things that happened tonight, only one thought kept haunting her; the doctor could have died because of her. Her arm trembled and she lowered her face, letting that sink in. She clutched her hand over her mouth, stifling a sob. She was vaguely aware of the shower door opening but she felt too shattered to even bother about it. Cassandra stepped out of her soaked clothes, gazing at the young woman through the transparent glass. It made her heart flutter. She slid open the door, stepped under the shower, into the steam, right behind her, embracing her as the hot water covered her head. Selena closed her eyes tightly, her lips trembling, her body shaking as the doctor pressed the length of her body against hers. How could she ever face her when she caused her so much trouble? Cassandra slid her arms up around her, drawing her even closer to her, taking in her fra
When the sunlight sneaked into the room through the wide curtains, Cassandra opened her eyes slowly to find Selena tightly snuggled against her. Her head rested on her shoulder, legs entangled with hers, arm across her waist and she was breathing rhythmically, sleeping soundly onto her.Her heart throbbed. She was so beautiful. She brushed aside a strand of her blonde hair from her face, knowing what she had to do. After that night, it became clear to her. She fondly kissed her above her eyebrow, reveling in her embrace for long minutes before she quietly slid out of the sheets, taking care not to wake her up. She took a long look at her before heading for a shower.Amidst the clothes she found in the wardrobe, she wore a business suit and headed out, greeting the two bodyguards guarding the door outside. “Ms. Kir is waiting for you in the breakfast area, Dr. York.” She briefly nodded at them, directing herself to the elevator. It was way too early for that. She closed her eyes, lea
~ ~ ~ ~ ~Megan drank her coffee slowly, gazing through the one-way observation mirror. She had been watching Jason for ten minutes now as the commissioner has been constantly yelling at her for the mess of last night. It ticked her. She was seriously not in the mood for that. “Another mistake, Brooks and you’re turning in your badge. I’m not kidding this time. I’m taking you off the fields for now and you’re going to sit your ass in your office and fill those reports you owe me.” She grimaced, closing her eyes momentarily to calm herself, “Yeah, yeah. I heard you, boss. No need to bark at me. Can I go in now?” He snapped, “Go. But me and Froyo are watching you.” “Froyo?” She arched an eyebrow, glancing at him to find Selena’s cat sleeping on his laps. Well, that was a better name than 'Mr. Kitty' she guessed. He reddened at being caught, snarling as he petted the animal, “Go on now and stop wasting my time.” She rolled her eyes, taking another sip of her coffee, “Don’t get too at
It had been a week now. Cassandra would lie if she said she had been able to sleep well. She thanked Charles who brought her a fourth cup of coffee and he worriedly asked, “Are you alright, doctor? If I allow myself to say, you don’t look too good.” “I’m fine. Thanks. Do something for me. Inform everyone. Staff meeting in fifteen minutes here.” He was a bit perplexed and he nodded, saying nothing as he went out.She briefly went through what had happened in her mind. Megan had called her to inform her about the footage of her and Selena in her clinic. Apparently, Jason had received a copy too and the worst thing was that he wasn't the one behind the cameras. So they were back to square one and they had no idea who sent it. It was impossible to trace out the source. She could guess what could happen if that ever went public, the outrage that it would cause. Right where she was, she didn’t even care that her career and life were on the verge of crumbling apart. Nothing mattered… excep
Cattleya noticed how pale she looked. She eyed the untouched meal which rested on one of the side tables and knew she had not been eating properly. She reached towards her, subconsciously brushed her fingers against her cheek to find them damp. She had been crying. She turned to her bodyguards and glared at them. She had warned them that they should do their best to keep her spirits high and this wasn’t the result she was expecting. “You two. You’re fired.” They shuddered, fear striking them, “Ms. Kir, you can’t—” Selena reached up to hold her arm, panicking, “Ms. Kir. They did nothing!” She narrowed her eyes, “Exactly. They are supposed to look after you and clearly, they can’t fucking follow simple orders. You are dismissed, effective immediately. Come to the office tomorrow to collect your paycheck.” Selena exclaimed, feeling instantly bad as she shot on her feet, “Please don’t fire them! It’s all my fault! I assure you they tried their best.” “That’s for me to decide.” She wait
The days felt short while the nights seemed long. Cassandra eyed the clock, groaning to herself. Noon. She should be panicking, be frantically reprimanding herself for being so late and yet… here she was, lying in bed, knowing that on a Thursday… she no more had to leave for her clinic. She turned to her side, to caress Selena’s empty spot only to find Mr. Kitty there. She closed her eyes, wishing she could… in any way, reach that warmth she longed for. It’s been over one month now and so far… everything seemed to have been going well.Maybe she could really do this. Work only for three days and use the rest of the week to spend time with Selena. There was only one slight issue though… the young artist wasn’t by her side. She sighed, wanting to kick herself for being such a coward. She reached for her phone, gazing at the few pictures Cattleya had sent her. All of them displayed the young woman she each night, fantasize about. The cat yawned by her side, lazily dragging its body acr
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Selena watched, feeling hot as one of the models, lowered the zip of her friend’s dress, licking her back as she pushed the sleeves off her shoulders, going down, seductively pulling the dress off. Selena flushed red, seeing how she was wearing a rather revealing black lacy lingerie. Her heart began pounding in her chest and she hastily averted her eyes, reaching to her side, selecting a small brush just to keep herself busy. She flinched when Cattleya ran a finger along her neck, “Don’t miss the show, sweetness. They are doing this just for you.” She swallowed hard, raising her head to find the now half-naked woman, kissing her companion fully on the lips, her hands roaming all over her body. In a snatch the dress was off and now the two of them stood there, in their lingerie. This couldn’t be as bad as it seemed. She could do that! They began dancing seductively and slowly, turning around for her, maintaining eye contact with her, showing off their body. Cattleya te
“Are you already considering an early retirement, doctor?” Cassandra was stunned by the question one of her regular patients asked, “I… no. Is something... different?” The brunette laughed casually, taking a look at the new business card, “Oh well… you’re only working Monday to Wednesday and that’s a bit—” “Unusual?” “Yeah. Getting a booking was so hard this time. My husband almost convinced me to go to the hospital.” “Ah…” She had no idea what to say to that. Well, she was well aware that this decision would affect her patients, especially the regular ones. In case of an eventual emergency, she would always make an exception.It was ten o’clock when she finished. Would she say she was tired? Yes, but there had been worse days. As she exited her office, she was surprised to find Charles still at his desk. She sighed, “I told you not to wait up for me, Charles.” He averted his eyes, putting down his phone, “It’s not safe to be alone here, doctor.” She pursed her lips, shaking her h
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
