After Seid’s visit, I finally sober up, and I remember that no matter how mad I am with Dmitri, he is still the one that I like. But it will never be easy to accept that we have different logic at some point. Now I remember how I bolted up earlier, and I could feel a little embarrassment. I drink the last drop of my coffee and clean the mugs we used.

Just like now, even if I want to call him, I have no idea how to contact him. He doesn’t want me to have his number or even his office’s number, but he can call me anytime. I didn’t even give him my number, but he found it anyway. A mixture of unjust feelings and frustration is what I have right now. But I need to accept our differences if I want to be with him. I take a deep sigh.

I get my pouch, turn off all the lights and make sure my office is locked and head home to my apartment. I take a cab once again and go straight to my house.

The elevator dings and I get off. I slowly walk to my apartment door, while I search for my keycard

    “I am not jealous,” he clears his throat and answers defensively, like a male species who don’t want to be a laughing stock.“Oh, really, then, you don’t have the right to question me about anything, do you agree?” I rebut sarcastically. “At least Seid and I had closure because we used to have a beginning. What about us? We can’t close something, because we never started anything at all. If you like open relationships with no label, please, not me. Because I can’t tolerate that,” I continue while shaking my head, still eyes intact to him.“Why are you so fixated on being in a relationship when you’ve seen how worse it can be? Cheating husband? Busy boyfriend? Mistress? Huh?”, he pounds the wall behind him.“Are you talking about Nik and K? Siegfried and I? How about you, you’ve never been in a relationship with someone you love dearly, have you?” I confront him.“Exactly, why would I if I’ve seen relationships are fake, always crumbling and falling, giving heartaches?” he fights for w

    “Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you, the master of all these magnificent artwork, Jodie Russels,” I open the exhibit and welcome all the guests to their hearts’ content.After my opening speech, I straightly go down from the stage and look for Kendra, who’s been MIA since her last call with Seigfried.A hand grabs me and pulls me behind the stage, when I look back it was Nikolai. Suddenly, the rage I feel for him for being a married man rushes back.“Avery,” he whispers. I glare at him and rudely answer, “What? And you have the nerve to bring her here, huh? What the fuck Nikolai?”“I am sorry. I didn’t we will be going here. Dmitri sets it all up,” he defends.“Oh, right? Your brother-in-law, right?”, I scowl at him. His eyes widen. “Yes, Nikolai, I heard the two of you talking that night,” I add to answer the confusion in his face.“Did she know?”, he looks down and whispers.I sigh deeply, “No, I couldn’t bring myself to tell her. I am such an asshole best friend.”“I am sor

    “Are you okay, Ava?”, Seid asks and helps me sit down. I nod at him and continuously cry as I remember when I had those eyes, I remember those times, the day I went to Italy, was when my parents died of an accident.I could see Dmitri’s figure still standing up, I slightly tilt my head and look in his direction, his gaze are still fixated on the portrait. When the host opens the bid, a lot goes for it. It has the highest bid now from all the artwork.Then Seid asks me, “Do you want to have it?” I smile at him and say nothing.So he tops up the bid without any hesitation. He keeps on topping up every bid there is and is looking forward to winning it, but with just two words coming out of Dmitri’s lips, everything goes silent.“Five hundred,” Dmitri says. And it isn’t just bucks, we are talking about grand. I look at him surprised but he didn't look back in my direction.“Going once,” the host says.“I am sorry Ava, I can’t top that,” Seid humbly admits his defeat. So I comfort him by s

    Dmitri forcefully gets me out of his car and carries me in his shoulder like a child. I don’t even know what city we are in, where we stopped, where we went, or where our route was.All throughout the trip, all I did was piss him off, so he would let me go. But he didn’t. Now, he carries me to this building that I couldn’t recognize because of my tipsiness.Without any strength left inside my body, I just let him carry me according to his will.“Where are we going?”, I ask but receive no response at all.From my position, I could see him press the elevator button, the top button engraved with the letter “P”. I thought, “Are we going to his penthouse?”A few more minutes, the elevator dings, and he goes out of the elevator. Then he enters another elevator, a smaller one with gold-plated rails on each side.We enter then alight after just a minute, as the door opens, I try to open my eyes, and a gigantic bed welcomes me.So it figures, this elevator has direct access to his bedroom, and

    I am drowned not by the water inside this tub, but by the fluid that I’ve been suppressing for quite some time now. The tub is still half-full, and I have to endure it for a little more. I feel like squirting it anytime, but I want to taste his whole shaft and I want to feel it enter me so I need to control my cum. I begin to tighten my vaginal muscle to help suppress the uncontrollable feeling inside me. He groans as I do it. He compliments me, “Good Avery, find your technique,” then he screws his fingers again and again.He stops momentarily and arches my body even more. He lifts my pelvic and showers me with kisses again. I moan loudly when his tongue licks me from behind, “Uh, Dee, no, I, can’t control anymore. It feels damn good.” I couldn’t help but hold the mouth of the jacuzzi, almost erecting my body. Then he licks and sucks the mouth of my opening, every portion of it. He sucks it and plays it with his tongue. Then play my clitoris with his fingers in a circular motion

    I wake up in his arms in the middle of the night. We are in the same bed cuddling like what a normal couple does. But we aren’t. He calls me his possession, he calls me his woman, but he never says he loves me nor admits it. We aren’t dating. I watch him sleep and touch his peaceful face, then I softly speak to him, “Why can’t we be like any other? Do I really have to compromise?” I am surprised when I hear his voice, “Can’t sleep?” he asks.I remove my hand from his face, but he grabs it and kisses me gently on my lips. Then he pulls me and wraps his arms around me. When he does, my heart leaps like a horse, while his heart sounds so peaceful. How can he be so calm being next to me while I feel like burning just the sight of him? Maybe I am the only one who is madly in love with him. While he holds me in his arms, he utters something that surprises me, “Live with me.”***I still feel like dreaming about the last words I heard from him last night. When I woke up this morning,

    Throughout the boat ride, I never let go of his hand, and I think he doesn’t mind at all since there isn’t any form of struggle. He gently wraps his arms around my shoulder so I can keep my balance and avoid too much bounce from this wavy ride. I feel like I am dying right now as if my stomach is about to burst or go out of my mouth. This seas-sickness is killing me, so I weakly inquire to him, “How much longer?”He taps my shoulder and holds my hand tighter, “Any minute now, hang in there,” he blissfully answers. And he’s right. After the longest minute of my life, the boat engine finally stops. And like a gentleman, he carries me out of the boat and gently helps me find my footing at the bay. I am pretty sure that wearing heels and a long dress isn’t really a good combination for a boat ride, isn’t it? Still feeling nauseous, I know that I need to vomit, so I find a garbage bin as soon as I can, and run to it. While I release all my anxiety and ill-feeling because of that boa

I want to be next to him soon. To be honest, I am a little hopeful that he would call me in the morning, but I see not even a single call. I wonder what his deal is.I stretch my feet and my hands and get off the bed. I appreciate the sunray that’s kissing my face this morning. I feel better now that I’ve rested, as long as I don’t ride that stupid boat again, nothing can ruin my day with Dmitri. Or so I thought. Because the moment I step out of my room, I hear the female bellhops giggling and talking about their sexual adventure yesterday night. Isn’t this deja vu? My heart is stricken. I try not to listen, but I just can’t stop myself from eavesdropping. The brunette girl boasts how Dmitri roughly did her in a staircase and by the pool.

Please, don’t stress me out,” I yell back at him. “I’m sorry. I just feel so excited about the news. I can’t wait to tell mom and dad about our baby!” he says exhilaratingly. “Don’t jinx it!” I scream angrily. “Okay, okay, I’ll wait here patiently,” answers Jeff. I am here sitting on the bathroom floor, waiting for the result to come out from the pregnancy test kit. It has been almost three years since we got married and there was never a time that we didn’t try having a baby. But until now, there’s still nothing. I hug my knees and start crying silently, “What if it fails again? Am I infertile?” I ask myself. The kit finally ticks and now I have to face the truth. God knows we’ve been trying so hard that’s why I even ask Kendra to take full charge of the business for now. I stop all my physical activities

Of course, the honeymoon stage has just begun and Jeff wants to make love to me almost every time. And me, being a good wife, always give him what he wants. Although, right now, I think I am still a little swollen down there. I go to the bathroom to clean myself up and wash my face as I promised Kendra I’ll be meeting her so we can talk about our new business venture. After brushing my teeth, I wake Jeff up, “Hey, babe. Didn’t you say you have an interview at Kirkland’s Best?”He groans and instead of getting up, he pulls me into the bed and showers me with morning kisses. I giggle as his kisses tickle me, “Babe, stop it. We have a lot of things to do tod

So after the wedding ceremony, we stayed for a little bit, I got to finally meet his parents. And for the longest of times, I once again felt the warm embrace of a parent. It made me cry because I knew that I am no longer alone, and no longer an orphan. Because now that we are married, his parents became my parents, too. And I can’t deny, my heart is full. After that, we stayed to talk to our guests for some time, and then we ate and enjoy the party, too. And now I am here standing on the balcony staring at the moonlight, while Jeff is still cleaning. I don’t know why. It isn’t the first time we are going to have sex, but for some reason, now that we are married, there’s this tension inside me, a feeling of hesitation, a feeling that I am officially owned by him.

    (Avery’s Thoughts) Later this evening, all four of us will meet Jeff’s parents. And because of it, I am so dead worried and I can’t get this nervousness out of my system. So while Jeff is away meeting his parents ahead of time, I rush downstairs and go to our neighboring villa. I knock ceaselessly, but Kendra and Nik aren’t coming out. I move back to look up, and I see that the light is on, it means they are there, so I continue to rampage on their door. “Kendra, Kendra,” I knock nonstop, “Open up, please!” I scream a little loud. Then after five minutes of almost breaking their door down, someone finally opens the door for me. “Thank God you finally come out, what took you so l–” I am about to complain but when I see her glaring at me with her hair a little bit frizzy and wrap in a blanket, I know that I should be more careful with my next words.

This stupid luggage just won’t listen to me!” she frustratedly yells back at me. Kendra is not a patient and she hates dealing with this kind of stuff. So I go to her room to check up on her. And there I see her leg wrestling with her luggage just so she can close it up. “Stupid-little-luggage!” she yells and kicks before she pounds it hard in the end. And then she sits beside it looking at me with so much energy wasted. “Help me out, A?” she begs. I smile at her and then gently hit her on her forehead. “That’s why I’ve been telling you to pack a week ago,” I nag at her a little and she sticks her tongue out for a moment. “Hmm, let’s see what unnecessary things you put in here,” I tease her. Then I begin to take out some clothes and things she can’t wear to our destination. “Nope!” “–But I need it.” “–It’
