For The Rest Of Our Lives TO SKY CAFE - XOXO, TEA
Adam pulled up to a cafe and Althea's breath caught in her throat as she stared at the place through the window of the car and then back at Adam. It was a place she hadn't thought about in years, but the memories came flooding back as soon as she laid eyes on it. Adam seemed to notice her reaction, and a satisfied smile spread across his face.“You remember this place, don't you?” he asked, his voice gentle.Althea nodded, unable to find the words to respond.“Come on, let's go inside.” Adam said.She couldn't believe he still remembered this place after all this time. It has been so long. They both got out of the car and Althea couldn't stop staring at the building. The look in her eyes made Adam happy. She didn't even wait for him to open the car door for her. Althea's mind went blank and she was left speechless, tears welling up in her eyes. She gasped as memories of the past came flooding back.The building in front of them was a place she had always loved. It was her favorite ca
For The Rest Of Our Lives MY BOYFRIEND TAUGHT ME TO LOVE ME
Adam's eyes widened in surprise. “I didn't know that. Why didn't you ever tell me about this before? Why didn't I know about it?” he asked, his tone betraying his confusion and concern. He thought he knew everything about Althea, but this revelation had him questioning that assumption.With her gaze still focused on the writing, Althea spoke.Her eyes filled with tears as she recounted the painful memories of her childhood. “Your constant dismissal of my thoughts and feelings throughout our childhood had a profound impact on me. I came to believe that my words and actions were unimportant, that I myself was insignificant. I came to dread your presence, as I knew you would only reinforce those beliefs. You always made me feel like I was stupid, like my ideas and opinions were worthless. I was afraid to tell you about the name because I thought you'd just call it dumb and make me feel even worse that I would end up hating the name because your words had always stung.”“You would always m
For The Rest Of Our Lives I AM GRATEFUL TO YOU
“But,” Althea continued, her voice softening. “It’s also because of you, Adam.”Adam’s heart skipped a beat, his eyes wide in surprise.“Yes, you hurt me, but you also taught me a valuable lesson about self-love. When I was young, I let your words define me, but I’ve since learned that only I can define who I am.”A smile graced Althea’s lips, filled with an honesty that was both vulnerable and brave.“So, I guess what I’m trying to say, Adam, is that I forgive you.” Althea’s words hung in the air like a fragile promise. “Not because I’ve forgotten the pain, but because I’ve learned from it. And for that, I’m grateful to you.”Adam’s eyes watered, his heart both swelling and shattering in the face of her forgiveness. “Althea,” he whispered, unable to find the words to convey the depth of his emotion.Adam’s voice was strained, his words thick with pain and regret. “I see why you love him.”“I do,” Althea said with a gentle nod, her voice wistful. “Timothy has a way of understanding me
For The Rest Of Our Lives IT WAS NICE UNTIL IT WASN'T
After savoring the sweet taste of the cake and shake, Althea had a small dab of strawberry cream perched innocently on her upper lip.“You’ve got a little something right here,” Adam said, gesturing towards his own lips to indicate the spot.Althea touched her lip and felt the moisture, confirming Adam’s observation. “Thanks,” she said with a sheepish smile, quickly snatching up a tissue to tidy herself.“You’re welcome but truth be told, it looked pretty good.” Adam couldn’t resist a playful tease. “Like, if you ever wanted to grow a mustache, it would look good on you.”Althea’s laughter filled the room, and Adam found himself joining in, his own laughter mingling with hers.As the laughter subsided, she looked at Adam, a soft smile playing on her lips. “This was nice,” she said, her eyes shining with gratitude. “Thank you for bringing me here, to the most beautiful memory of my past. I owe you one, Adam Wilson.”Adam grinned and replied, “It isn't over. We’re not done yet.”“You mea
For The Rest Of Our Lives AM I IN LOVE WITH HIM?
A heavy silence settled between them, Adam’s eyes brimming with a complex mix of regret and pain. Althea couldn’t stand his penetrating gaze and turned sideways, clearing her throat before she spoke.“I think it's best if we forget about it,” she suggested, her tone attempting to sound detached. “Let’s just…live in the moment. Let’s not ruin what we have going on here.”Adam swallowed, holding back the multitude of responses vying for release in his mind.There were so many things he wanted to say to her. So many questions that he wanted to ask, but he chose not to because he didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable.“Yeah, sure,” he agreed softly, though his heart ached with the knowledge that this wasn’t how he wanted things to be. “Let's live in the moment.”“So,” Althea said, trying to lighten the mood with a forced smile. “I’ll be… the girl who used to have a crush on you, and you’ll be… the boy who still loves me.”“You know?” Adam asked, breaking the silence, Althea nodded kn
For The Rest Of Our Lives FOREVER YOUNG, FOREVER SEVENTEEN!
Her attention was pulled back as Adam approached her with a bucket filled with coins in hand. “Here we are,” he said, a lopsided smile on his face.Althea smiled back nervously, her mind still in a whirlwind of emotions. She took the coins, their fingers briefly touching.Althea’s eyes widened as she exclaimed, “How did you get these?!” pointing at the bucket of coins.Adam’s grin widened. “I have my ways,” he said, playfully smug.“Mr. Wilson, you certainly do,” Althea conceded with a chuckle.“Now,” Adam said, leading her towards the photo booth, “let’s get in.”Althea held up her hand, stopping him. “Wait, wait,” she said, a mischievous glint in her eyes. “Do you even know what a photo booth is?”Adam arched a brow. “Yes,” he answered slowly, trying to guess where this was going.Althea’s tone grew more serious. “So, Adam, enlighten me. What is a photo booth?”“Am I to answer?” Adam asked in confusion.“Yes, you are.” Althea said.Adam’s eyes narrowed, but he played along.“A photo
For The Rest Of Our Lives AN UNEXPECTED ENCOUNTER
“Hey, let's swap accessories,” Althea suggested, reaching for the glasses and wig. “This time, let’s do a peace sign and close one eye.”The two exchanged their props, giggling like schoolchildren as they posed for more pictures, their laughter echoing throughout the photo booth. One pose after another, they milked every ounce of silliness from the moment until it was time for the grand finale.“Time for the final pose!” Althea announced, her eyes shining with excitement. They both took off the props.“I’m all out of ideas,” Adam confessed. “What’s your final pose?”“Wait for it,” Althea teased, her fingers flitting over the countdown buttons. “Just trust me on this one.”She turned to face Adam, her eyes alight with mischief.“Ready?” Althea asked, a smirk tugging at the corners of her lips.“Bring it on,” Adam said, his curiosity piqued.The countdown hit three and Adam’s eyes narrowed, trying to anticipate Althea’s next move. But just as Althea leaned in to give him a peck on the ch
For The Rest Of Our Lives THE FAIRY GOD MOTHER AND CINDERELLA
Althea's question was met with a chilling response. The warmth and light in Adam’s eyes vanished, replaced by a frigid, unsettling gaze that sent a shiver down her spine.Adam’s demeanor shifted, his voice taking on a chill that could rival the coldest winter winds. “Let’s not talk about it.”Althea’s heart sank at his response, and she tried to reason with him. “But I—”But her words were cut off by the coldness in his voice.“Althea,” he snapped, his tone sharp and commanding.She flinched, startled by the sudden shift in his demeanor, her hands trembling as she began to rise from his lap.Althea’s mind raced with questions as she sought to understand the change in Adam’s behavior, but her self-preservation instinct kicked in.“I’m sorry if I overstepped,” she muttered, her voice shaking. “I’ll take my leave.”Without another word, she slipped from the confines of the photo booth, pulling the curtain closed behind her.Adam, the chill of his words still lingering, attempted to call o

Zaya stood still unable to move and held her breath in. Kabir moved on to put his second hand around her waist, drawing her closer to him, causing Zaya to let out a hitched breathing.Kabir leaned in again on one side of her ears and whispered “You smell so nice!” with a deep voice, taking a whiff of the scent of her perfume from the side of her neck.Kabir leaning him and taking a sniff of Zaya's side neck was like heaven to her body. She didn't know when she almost let out a moan but held back in caution.“A minute is already over.” She announced to him as she tried to move but he pulled her back in. Kabir tightened his grip on her waist in a way that didn't hurt her.“Not yet. Until I say so.” He replied to her as he took his hands off her waist. With one of Kabir's hands free, he held Zaya's hands gently and placed them on his hands wrapped around her neck. Zaya tried to withdraw her hand but he put it back.
