Time seemed to slow in my mind as I plunged downwards. My safety was far from my mind, all I could think about was what could happen to my baby if I fell the wrong way.

I swung my arms around as I tumbled grasping the air till I caught hold of a railing. Then I gave myself a few seconds to process what had just happened.

I sat on the bottom stair as I tried to assess the pain on my body and where they originated from.

There was a bad scratch on my hand without the bandage that spanned from somewhere around my wrist to my elbow, my left side was throbbing with quickly mounting pain, I spotted another scratch on my leg that looked like it needed a bandaid, other than that, I was fine. I sighed in relief and hugged my tummy, ignoring my poor ribs.

“Hey, are you alright?” A woman with a cleaning uniform asked with a worried expression. She held a mop stick between her fingers which she twirled absentmindedly. She stopped the movement when she took in my injuries.

Adams put his arm around my shoulder and I shot him a look till he retrieved his hand and acted like he was scratching his ear. “It doesn’t matter where we are, as long as we keep dreaming.” Rico, another lead said, Pushing himself of the table he was leaning on. “We should keep the gossip down a bit though.” Sarah grinned. Then we all spoke loudly to each other in the background as the music grew louder.“Annnnnd cut! That’s it folks. Last episode for Gossip and dreams!” Lancaster yelled.We clapped and hugged each other in excitement, this movie had been everything to me for three years, I could not picture myself not coming to this studio to be with this crew. “Now I know miss Baker is going to have a big bash for us, but our little celebration is still on, alright?” Mckenzie yelled on stage, “and it’s at the same address, Ask Rico if you can’t fined it, he’ll be here for a while.

    Smell of bleach and other cleaning chemicals clung to the walls of the hospital. The ward was not as crowded as I thought it would be, seeing as today was visiting day. Cigarette wafted from one of the room we passed. A man in a biker gear, sat opposite a younger woman, speaking to her in a hushed tone. “Are you sure it’s today?” Lily whispered. I opened the small brochure again. “It’s today.” “Maybe we’re late? Or early?” I ignored her as we approached the reception desk. “Hi, I’m here to see a Mrs. Thompson?” She nodded and typed a message out on her phone. “Her nurse will see you shortly.” “Thank you.” A bright woman with a small mole on her forehead approached, smiling warmly. “Gooday, I am Genevieve, your mother’s nurse. Come, come. I show you to her room.” An orderly passed by us, pushing a woman in a wheelchair. Her head was hanging by the side and moved when he hit a small bump. I turned to my mother’s new nurse. “How is mum? Off the record…what’s been going on?”

    “What did you say?” I questioned Lily.“I’ve been speaking for the past twenty minutes and you didn’t hear a word.”“I’m sorry, just thinking about mum.”“I know. I wasn’t kidding about the topless woman though.” I raised my brow. “I swear. I filled mum’s cup, started to come back but this lady just strolled out of her room with her tits hanging out. And then a nurse apologized to me and led her back into the room.”“That’s…” I didn’t know what to tell her.“Very foretelling. I kept thinking, a month or two from now, some other kid is going to come here to see her mum, and when she gets a glass of water, our mum’s going to stroll out without a shirt.”“Lily-““I know…you’re right. She could be pantless too.” She looked at me with her straight face. Then she snorted, then I did, and we burst into a fit of giggles.“I should not find that funny.”“But you do, your humor is still juvenile.”The cool air brushed against my bare skin and I let out a long suffering sigh. “It’s in our blood

Was Pierce actually going to…No, she was just talking- it was for publicity. I tried to convince myself. I got startled by fingers snapping in my face, “If you’re not ready to have this interview don’t waste our times.” she snapped. “It’s not too late to turn back now.”“No, no. I’m sorr

    As I stepped out of the building, I tried to hail a cab but they kept passing me like I wasn’t even there. A particular cab sped along the road with his hornblaring and I stepped back quickly, to avoid being hit and instead, collided into a solid chest. “I would recognize that blond mane anywhere.” The owner of the solid chest said smoothly. “Adams? What are you doing here?” I asked, confused. “I came to see a friend in the area, I though I should grab a snack around here and here we are. You look like you had a bad day, did the interview…”I shook my head bleakly. Adams sighed and grabbed my hand. “Let’s get you some comfort food.”“What do you know about comfort food?” I grunted but followed him.Thirty minutes later and I had down a burger the size of his fist while I explained what happened. “You seemed pretty prepared Myra, what happened?I could not tell him that I was thinking of Pierce and Tami, “I just… I blanched okay, I got really nervousand just-I forgot the lines, my

    “No, you’re supposed to be my voice of reason.” I panted as I stepped away from the punching bag and sat on the fake grass carpet of the gym, resting my head on the wall behind me. I could feel my good hand begin to throb from the exertion. “Where’s the ‘you think you should tell him about the pregnancy’ or the ‘there’s no way he’s getting married, you’re blowing it out of proportion’. I get nothing from you.”Hannah abandoned the punching bag and came to join me on the floor. “The way I see it, you had a sucktastic day yesterday; you just need to vent today; we can worry about logic tomorrow. Besides, do you actually want me to start on the pregnancy issue again?”“No.”“Good, how’s the morning sickness?”“Gone.” Thank you, God. I still hated mangoes though but would not barf after I got a whiff of them. What a sad life. “And how do you feel now? Are we still angry at article writers around the world?”I smiled. “Only a little bit.”In truth, I wasn’t angry at the article, Isabel, o

    Myra’s PovWhen I entered the party venue my eyes roamed the room searching for Pierce-no, for Adams or Jace. “Hey pretty woman.” Adams said as he approached me with Jace by his side. He gave me a quick hug before he stepped aside. This was the first time I was seeing Jace since failing my interview, but I had spoken to him on the phone.He punched my shoulder gently. “Better luck next time.” ”Thanks. When’s your callback audition?”It was then I saw Pierce. My heart ached as I had missed him. A lot. Fake relationship or not, I loved having Pierce around me.My lounging turned into anguish as I watched him brush a strand of hair from Tami’s face and lean into her, intimately. Her smile brightened even further. It tore through me like a knife. I looked away before I could witness more, like Pierce kissing her. “…so I won’t be here for long. I’ll have to get back home early.”“To practice your lines?” Adams asked,“No, to take a long nap, sleep is important.”“Are the both of you

    I pushed Adams away from me, stumbling backwards. “Why did you do that?”He looked surprised by my reaction. “I’m sorry, I guess I’m still moving too fast for you, but I-I thought we were there already.”“Where?” I asked him confused. He ran his fingers through his hair, messing up the perfect sleek. “Don’t play this game Myra, it’s time to be serious.““Adams I am serious, and I’m not in the mood to have someone else make me look stupid for not knowing something, so please enlighten me.”“The flirting, you finally share your problems with me, you asked about my relationship status…I get that you’re shy and trying to be ladylike by not being forward- ““Adams…”“-and now that Pierce has had his fill of you, we can finally be together.““What did you say to me?”“Don’t worry Myra,” He said hurriedly. “I don’t judge you for it. I understand why you were with him.” He moved towards me and tried to grab my hand.“I was WITH him, because I love him.”“I told you Myra, I understand, you d

    Lily pushed off the couch and climbed up the stairs without a backward glance. I guess we we’re back to fighting again.Angie tugged me forward. “No use standing here, let’s have some tea.”I followed numbly, still feeling the sting of getting yelled at by Pierce. His mother’s reaction I could understand but even now, Pierce did not respect me. He didn’t think I was important enough to be present during a conversation about MY child. I heard the faint sound of Elizabeth yelling as she forced into a stool. Angie pushed a cup towards me few minutes after. “Chamomile. Drink.”“Thanks.” I croaked, using the tea to soothe the feelings that were stuck.Would my child really be born to a family that would not accept her. A bastard, Elizabeth had called her.“She’s not always like this.” Angie said suddenly, “Elizabeth is a woman with a fierce temper, and with a temper like that, she says very hurtful things. Your pregnancy came at a very sensitive point in the Blackwood family.”“Yeah, I

    Myra’s POVI knew Pierce was still home. I found that out after I tiptoed down the stairs and heard him having a conversation on his cell. I went back up of course, but I knew I could avoid him so long.Pierce had caught me masturbating. Even worse, he heard me say his name, and THEN, invite him to come to bed with me, although for the last part, I could argue that I didn’t say it explicitly, which therefore made it null.But…If he did interpret it the way I ‘somewhat’ intended, then it meant Pierce had rejected me. No, he didn’t reject me, he acted the most sensible of both of us, which I noticed he had been doing a lot. “I’m going downstairs.” I declared loudly. I wasn’t the first woman who had gotten caught with a toy before. Although said toy was now back in its miserable drawer. The name thing, I could explain that I was flitting through my list of guy names I knew and his, popped up on the list. I was absolutely not thinking of him while pleasuring myself.I had to have brea

    TAMI…“So, he’s actually letting her stay with him?”“That what I can tell from the situation.” A voice messed up by static responded from Tami phone. She had been enjoying a glass of wine in her family’s living room when her mole had called with day ruining new. “Her bodyguard is ex-CIA. Definitely not someone she can afford on her own.” They continued. Tami squeezed the phone tighter in her hand. She had suspected it but wasn’t sure. So Pierce had found out about the pregnancy AND was reacting fine- even more than that.“You’re sure she’s living with him?” She asked the person in the line. “Yes, I already told you that. I went on her phone and the messages with her manager-Tami…”The person hesitated. “I can’t do this anymore, Myra’s a friend to me.”“You didn’t think about that when needed money did you.” Tami snapped, “I’ll call you when I need you.” She ended the call abruptly, now pacing around the room. Suddenly she screamed and pushed the wine glass she had on the table.

    I took my phone with me to the bathroom.One look in, and I figured I might as well run a bath. I had nothing else to do for the day. Soaking would be good for my nerves.I opened my messages.They were both from the same person. My eyes narrowed into slits as I expanded the text from Hannah.‘Did you like your not so little present?’ She texted with double wink emojis.‘Bet you’re having too much fun to respond.’I shook my head in disapproval as I typed out a response. ‘Fun? I’m busy trying not to get caught with that thing!’I checked the water in the bath to make sure it was at a good temperature. A new message entered my phone a second later.‘After you do that, HAVE fun. A world of pleasure awaits you’ more wink emojis.“I swear to God.” I said out loud, then chuckled. ‘You know you’re a bad influence.’New message, ‘you’re welcome.’ Underneath that one; ‘Rumors of the Destan show wanting to interview you and your acting buddies.’My heart skipped a beat.

    I finally understood what had distracted Derek: Pierce’s arrival.He could’ve atleast, given me a warning. Now Angie would present whatever sex toy was in the box to her ‘master’ and I would have to endure judgemental looks from Pierce AND Angie.When I turned to look at him, my breath caught in my throat. He was back in his dark suit getup with a shirt that had a few buttons undone. He was toying with said button as he looked straight at Angie. “Don’t tell me what?” He asked again. Oh dear/“Don’t tell you…” Angie started, “…that she had missed a dose today.” I turned to look at Angie. Both of her hands were behind her back like they were crossed, not hiding a box of a possibly ginormous dildo. Her expression? Bored.I wished I could look as cool headed as she did. As it was, I was bright red and reading to flee.Pierce glanced at the watch on his wrist, irritation marring his brows. Good to know a conversation about me was ticking him off. Pun unintended.

You slide this one down the shaft and it basically squeezes it. Damien LOVES the sensa-““Nope, absolutely not! That’s enough information, you’ve gotten what you wanted, let’s go.”“Oh come on, we’re bonding!” She yelled to my retreating back, even though she followed behind me. The cashier looked between the both of us, amused. She dropped the two items on his table with a smile, while I tried to keep my eyes down. “That looks great, does it come together or is it removable?” Hannah asked, and I reacted out of instincts. My eyes landed on what seemed to be the centerpiece of the cashier table.Oh god. Oh god, oh god.There was a big-no giant penis stuck onto the table and yeah, it was a show stopper on its own but spikes? It was decorated with small

    “I want to fuck Pierce.” I announced to Hannah the second my butt was in a booth with her. An innocent customer glanced at our table before hurrying along. “Damn sweety, at least let the food get here.” Hannah’s face lit up with an intrigued smile. She placed both hands on the table, under her chin and leaned in.“You look too happy to hear this.” I said dryly.“Of course I am. I have been missing out on juicy Pierce details because you had been so secretive. If you want to talk now, I am all ears. So you want to bone him, tell me all about it.”I let out an exasperated sigh and shifted in my seat. “I mean you know what he looks like. And then I see him in the house all…normal.” I spat the last word out like it was poison. “I still don’t get why you can’t…” someone passed by the table and Hannah’s voice dropped an octave lower, “fuck him.”“We both thought it was smart to end the physical part of the relationship.” She already knew how complicated things were already. “He’s still hi

    “I have no right, he repeated.One more step and there was barely any space between us.A shiver of thrill went through me. Pierce glowered in anger, but I could see arousal too. I preferred this to his usual blank expression. The need to see him like that pushed me to speak.“I’m not your property, Pierce. You have your life outside of this house and so do I.”“What do you want outside of me?” He growled, his head lowering. If I pushed off my toes, I knew our lips would touch. My heart thudded in my chest loudly. How would I answer his question? Pierce had always been everything I wanted, even after we were through, I did not think it would be possible to meet someone and fall in love like the way I had done with him. His eyes were dark, nearly black as he watched my confused expression. He grabbed my waist roughly and turned me so my back was to him and my hands on the counter for support. The air crackled with sexual tension, very different from how it was mere seconds ago. Thi

    “I’m guessing you’re here for the same reason I am.” he said.“I couldn’t sleep.

He leaned on the counter leaned on the counter, holding the chip bag invitingly.Could he not turn it out into a bowl or something?That would make sure I would not brush his hand accidentally.I let out a sigh. I was being a child acting like I could not eat out of a bag Pierce was holding without physically combusting.I trudged to him, hesitated, before I dipped my hand in to fish for chips. We crunched in silence. “How long did it take you to make the painting?” I blurted out, stunning myself.Shit, I should not have said it out loud.He shrugged, “A couple of weeks.
