HUSBAND“Why are we meeting here? I thought it would be at his office again.” CeceStar says as a way of greeting as she slid into the seat opposite me. I eye her, she is wearing a fancy yellow shirt dress, with huge hoops dangling from her ears. Her make up is flawless as usual. “You didn’t look that fancy because you thought the meeting was going to be in his office right?” She chuckles silently,“Thank you for noticing my efforts, at least someone is, but I was coming from somewhere that required this outfit. Although, it would have worked well if he saw it too.” I let my expression remain neutral.“Don’t play with me Cecilia.”She wants to say something.“Back to business. I created different bank accounts for it. Here are the details. Will the Gofundme be up and running by tomorrow?”“Sure, sure.” She waves me away, then leans in.“I found something shocking.”I sigh, not in the mood for gossip, letting my eyes wander and they find Jes
I step into the shower, the water as hot as I can take it, pelted down on my skin, I hoped it could wash away the embarrassment I was feeling. After all, my professor had ducked last minute when I tried to kiss him earlier, so my mouth greeted the rough stubble on his chin. We each murmured different excuses and bolted out of there immediately. I scream in frustration, how could I have gone in with a kiss after he blatantly rejected me before, and now in public, he did it again. The last time I felt this humiliation in public, it was when I went to meet Prudy's father, I needed him to own up to the fact that he was fathering the child of his son's betrothed. “How can you accuse me of such a thing? My son and i had not gotten to meet her yet and then she fell pregnant. How is it that I am getting the blame when your sister is the one who is loose?” I can still feel the anger I felt all those years ago.“You raped her!! You fucking rapist!! You dirty scumbag..” I didn
WINGWOMAN “I saw what happened in there.” Jessica says as she sucks her teeth. Startled by her presence, I turn to face her, mid hose. “What the heck Jessica? Make some noise when you move, you are not a ghost for crying out loud.” She shrugged,“You are the one who got lost in her head, don’t blame me.”I sigh and continue to hose myself. “I thought you were with your boss, why are you here?”She grinned, “I was. Is my ruffled hair not a good enough indication?”I pause to stare at her. Her lipstick was long gone, and her hair however short, was different. She also glowed, the after sex glow. Her smile was huge and her eyes even bigger. “You did it.”She squealed, “I did do it. It was amazing. A quickie though, there are ongoing rendezvous plans though .”I fight the smile that threatened to show. “I hope it was not done in the kitchen, that would be disgusting.”“Nope. Ask me how it was.”I place the hose back on the holder. Peeling my
SPARK“We should take this to my place, where we won’t be spied on.” I keep my eyes on Vaughn's as I say this. I am tired of him always popping out of nowhere and ruining everything. “Uhm.. sure.”“Is she drunk?” he asked.I scoff. What did he think of me? “No..” Red's confused expression kept flickering from Vaughn to me.“Don’t respond to him anymore, it’s none of his business.” I say as I lift up from the boulder. Leading the way back down, I am fuming silently. What did he think he was? He made it abundantly clear that he wanted nothing more than student teacher relationship, so why does he keep showing up? “You know that guy?”I ignore the question as we finally get to shore. “Your place is closer right?”I didn’t want to invite him to my place, lest he comes unexpected, especially since I have no clue how today will go. “Yeah. We don't have to even drive there.”This time he leads the way. A few people on the beach greet him as we pass,
BEGS“Yes, Yes, we do need to talk. Do come in.” He says as he opens the door wider for me to pass. I stare at him as I pass by him, he does not look anything like the man that glared at me through his window. His facial muscles were relaxed now. Not a hint of anger on his pretty face. “Would you like anything to drink? Tea? Water?”“Beer.” I respond with the same level voice he was using.He blinks up at me.“I don’t have that.”“For a second I thought you would have a say in what I’m drinking.” He ignores the obvious dig at him.“You sent Beatrice to talk to me?” I say not bothering with the sofa. He on the other hand, sat down crossed legged on the sofa, watching me. I try not to get excited by his eyes on me, but it’s impossible. “Yes, I did. You are in direct contact with Cecilia. It’s best to tell her so she does not have anything to do during the weekend.”“I believe you two are in direct contact as well. I clearly remember her saying
AUTHORITY He brought both hands up to frame my face, and his palms were enormous, and his thumbs brushed the ridges of my cheekbones in a soothing, comforting, yet arousing gesture that made my stomach twist with flutters. His fingertips pressed into my hair at the back of my head, gently but firmly tugging my face closer to his. I look into the swirls of his darkened grey irises, they reflected every need I felt. We were finally on the same page. “Vee, I’m here.” His eyes widen and he leaps away from me. I sit still, blinking away the disorientated feeling from lack of his presence beside me. “Vee.. open up.” A female voice grunted from outside the door.Once again, I was being swept into a heap and was led upstairs. “I am so sorry. I forgot she was supposed to visit today.” “If you say that was a mistake one more time.”He chewed on his lips, looking at me guiltily from under his lashes. I groan. “I am sick and tired if this. You kissed me first th
SANDRA I ended up in his house again. Shit. Fuck. I know this before I even opened my eyes because the place is warmer than the beach. “Here. For the headache.” I open my mouth to accept the pill. It clangs into my mouth and i try swallow. Trying my best to remember what happened hours before. I remember opening the wine. That darn wine. I had drank more than half the bottle. “it’s almost like this is our thing. Waking up in your bed with no memory of how I ended up here, I still can’t remember everything from last time, then making out, someone regretting it, then I jump out of your window.” He doesn’t say anything in response so I think I am alone. But when I crack open an eyelid, there he is, sitting crossed legged on a sofa opposite the bed. He was staring straight at me, his expression unreadable. “Relax. I’m not coming on to you. I have self respect too.”I say as I gathered the duvet off of me. I was dressed in the same clothes as yesterday nigh
NASTYNow the relief I felt earlier has washed over me, all I am feeling is shame and even more shame, I needed a bath, a change of clothes, and scolding Jessica and Cecilia for letting me out of the house in that state. “Thank you for the coffee, I should go now.” I say as I get to my feet. It was bright out and i looked like I had a regretful night. “Oh, please, don’t mind me. I’ll be gone in a minute, stay as long as you need.” She wiggled her brows suggestively. My ears burn and i look down at my feet. His sister was totally different from him. “I hate to impose. It was a mistake coming here in the first place.”My eyes must have flickered to Vaughn when I said ‘mistake’ and my tone given me away because she scowls at her brother. “Did you do it? Call her a mistake?”I open my mouth to say not me as a person, but she raised a finger to silence me, effectively shutting my mouth. “I didn't..”“You go on, and on repeating how much you respect wome
