BEND-OVER Leo cannot stop laughing. Even when my professor had climbed into the car, and then drove off. My best friend was still laughing. “Fine, fine. That was funny, I was giving you your flowers and you threw them away.”I roll my eyes at him.“I wish I hit you with said flowers. Anyway, I need to swing by the witches coven.” His laughter disappears.“What for?”“You don’t have to follow me inside. I’ll go inside and get something and pop out real quick.” I can’t let him come into the family mansion. “Is it important?”He knows I won’t ever willingly take him there. “Very.”“Then I am going in with you.”We argue on the drive there, but he does not back down. Finally when we get to the huge black gate, I see that he is struggling to keep his composure. Whilst his father was infatuated with this family, I was treated like gold whenever I went over. My family treated him and his father like they were fleas, so we rarely ever spent time here
HARDNESS I am the first to recover. I quickly pull down the shirt and carry her inside, Beatrice is there trying to coordinate hyper children. She smiles in relief when she sees me, then her eyes fall on Prudy, her brows wrinkle and then realisation dawns on her. “Is she..”Her lover's daughter? “Yes. This is Prudy. Prudy meet Beatrice. She’s mommy’s friend.” Beatrice bends down and scoops her up. Hugging her tightly. Prudy winces but quickly regains composure. My heart shattered as I watched. A four year old was already this good at pretending, like her mother. I won’t let that happen. Without saying a word, I turn around and go back outside. The ground slips from underneath me and i hold the wall to keep steady. I dry heave.“Here, water.” I hear Jessica say.And I gratefully accept it. When I’m done rinsing my mouth, I feel rage press in my chest. I scream. “Its all my fault!”“Hey, Hey, how is that your fault?”“I left her with them. They
RIP The time I convinced myself that stalking him was not a crime, I had said to myself; the end justified the means. Because before I could stop myself I knew too much about him. That Roxanne would have been pissed that I threw all of her hard work away just to get back at him. But the Roxanne who had fled his room a number of times because she was embarrassed? She is very pleased with the expression on his face. Then I slicker away, all the while my body is humming for him and is begging me to turn back around, it takes all of my muscles that make up my petty side to forge ahead. When I re-join my group, they are having a snack break before we turn back around. Prudy is having the time of her life, her pigtails are a mess, but there is a huge grin splattered on her face. “You don't like you got fucked.” Leo whispers as he stands next to me. “How did you know?”“I kept my eyes peeled open for any suspicious activity. And I saw the girl boss move.” I
WATCHING“What?” We hold each other’s stare for a while, the air was cackling again. My skin came alive under his gaze. I will myself to grow a stronger resolve. “Hello? Anyone home?” Leo asks as he waves his hands in my face. I don't look away from my professor's ever changing eyes. But I see Leo from my peripheral vision, shake his head and walk into the deli. Every breath he drew seemed to be erotic. I was getting aroused from watching him breath. “You keep doing that.” He says after a while.“Doing what?” “I made it clear that you were mine.” “And I thought I made it clear that what you are saying is an absolute bull.” A muscle worked in his jaw. And I find that sexy, I want to know if he made that face when he was trying hard not to burst a nut. “Follow your hand book, professor. I will follow mine. And section forty three of mine says; drop your tits whenever or on whomever you want to, the world is your bra.” I wince inwardly. Thankful
SNATCHED “Where is Mr. Walker?” Beatrice ask when I show up half an hour later alone and looking like my professor just asked me to drop him off in the middle of the road and i obliged. Because he didn’t ask. He demanded. Darn me and my stupid submission thing. “He asked me to let him out of the car in the middle of the road.” I answer.I blink, my vision becomes steadier. I find four pairs of eyes staring at me. “What?”“Why?”“And you did?”They bombard me with the questions I asked myself on the ride here. And I still have no answer to them. So I shrug.“Did you guys fight?”“No. We were having an actual conversation, and he suddenly demanded I stop the car. Even when I asked the reason, he would not talk to me.” “That is strange.”“Worse than strange. And this place is foreign to him. What if he gets lost?” “He's thirty years old Beatrice. I’m certain he can find his way.”She shrugs but still looks disturbed, I feel disturbed as well. Maybe
SOOTHE I have no idea why I am excited to hear that he is back. So I tell myself that it’s because I was worried about him, at least that part was true, he wasn’t back when we got here, and by the time I slept off, he wasn’t back. I dress up hurriedly, Prudy and Jessica had gone to the lobby already. Joining them, my eyes keep scanning for the tall, muscled man with grey eyes. “He went to get something.” Cecilia tells me.She draws my attention to her, and she looks better than yesterday, the tired look had disappeared. “Is he Okay? Did he say when he got back and why he disappeared?” I fire the questions without pausing. “Yeah, he didn’t talk about yesterday night at all. He seems fine.” Just then, I spot him walk out of the elevator. A file in hand, his phone and jacket in the other. He is wearing a simple outfit today. His shirt pressed and his pants too. He looked like my professor this way. “What are we having for breakfast?” Jessica asks as we walk to
ALWAYSHis head tilts and starts to lean into mine. My heart starts to pound furiously inside of my chest. I have no idea why that happened. His eyes fluttered shut as he cups my face. Our mouths are a hairs breath away when I see the rented car pass by us. My eyes widen. And instinctively I push him away. His eyes looked confused for a second. I laugh. My laugh is strained, and my heart is still pounding in my chest. His eyes look hurt for a second before he drapes a helmet on his head. “Of course I won’t let myself be your rebound.” He says without missing a beat. I laugh, again it sounds like I have something in my throat. “I won’t do that to you. You are too precious for that.” He turns back to face the road. Seeing the rented car in front he lets out a string of cusses and starts the bike. I only have a second to latch unto his clothes before he sped off. I press myself into his back, he was going too fast. Soon we were ahead of the
LONG I don't know how long I sit there, crying, before the bus arrives. “Roxanne? Why are you curled up like that on the ground?” Beatrice asks when she climbs out of the bus. But she is distracted with bringing the kids out of the bus that she does not notice me quickly wiping my eyes. I give a lame excuse, using Leo's over speeding, because she is so busy she only nods and says; “I did think the speed was an overkill.” By the time the rented car was pulling in, my eyes were dried, puffy and hiding behind sunglasses as I help Beatrice with the kids. “Where is Leo? Rather, where did Leo go?” Jessica asked me. “I have no idea. He dropped me and sped off.” I say too quickly. “Why are the men in your life so dramatic? First professor asked you to drop him in the middle of the road, second Leo speeds into the distance.” She sighs. “I know right. I am the constant.” The children were organised in front of the new building but I see all they want to do
YOU ARE INCREDIBLE “Urgh. He is the absolute worst. I cannot believe he wouldn't listen to me! Is Leo half this stubborn?” Cecilia winced.“You cannot be stubborn when the only thing that has happened between you is a drunken make out session that doesn’t move past first base.” I sigh and try to concentrate on my stretching. “And Jeff probably doesn’t even consider me a woman for anything to happen. Amongst the three of us you have it perfect right now and I will shove my foot up your ass if you ruin it.” “I’m not ruining anything, he is just not listening to me. Much like you guys right now. And on the day of a big competition like the Bomb, that is the last thing I need.” Cecilia gives me a flat look.“And the last thing I need is my followers hearing this complain so soon into the relationship, because of you guys the surf museum is booming with proposals. And if I wanted a married couple match my parents would give me one, now, my followers have expectatio
ROSE “Where am I supposed to meet him again?” i ask as I play with the hem of my very short skirt. Cecilia swipes my hand away like it was a nuisance, I guess I was a nuisance seeing as she had continually complained about my fingers pulling on the hem of the skirt, trying to get it past my ass, I can feel the wind on my cheeks. “None of your business, I’m taking you there, you’ll know when you get there.” Jeff says as he packs his laptop back into his bag. “You’ll come back after dropping her off right?” Jessica asks him.He sucks his teeth, “I have work, I think you guys can handle the rest.”I watch as Jessica's face falls with inquisitive eyes, but she manages to wipe it away before Jeff could notice. “I would say ladies first, but I have to survey and see if everything is safe before you come out.” Jeff says before sauntering outside. Turning to face Jessica I press down on my squeal. “You totally have the hots for Jeff.”“Nobody has said that
LONG AND HARD I didn’t know when I fell asleep, but I was certain we had both been whispering sweet nothings to each other as our bodies entangled in ways that we probably didn’t know existed before. When I open my eyes I see that it was morning and there was nobody entangled with me on the bed. The other side of the bed though perfectly disturbed, was empty. I lean forward, scanning the room to find that it is as empty as the rest of the bed. I hear shuffling coming from downstairs and smile to myself, he must be down there fixing breakfast. Getting up and slipping into one of his button up shirts, I hurry to the bathroom, I wasn’t trying to look perfect like those women who wake up with a full face of make up in the movies, but I was not exactly going to show up with crusty eyes. My mouth was fresh, my face even fresher, I head downstairs, and into the kitchen. “Great, you finally wake up.” Jessica sighs.I jump in the air and squeal. “What the fuck? What ar
DIVINE My fingers find the ends of his shirt and in a fluid motion, it ends up at a small pile i had created with the rest of our other clothes by the door. "I missed this." I whispered in between kisses.He kissed me harder then let go long enough to say, "You have no idea."My hands roamed the expanse of his chest, fingers dipping into every mould of muscles. He groans into my mouth. Gently, he leads me up to his bed. Our mouths do not leave each other for a second, as my hands roam the entirety of his back, i let him plop on the bed in a sitted position, straddling him and locking him in place with my thighs. Our mouths finally leave each other, and by that time, we are breathing hard and fast. Our faces inches apart from each other. "You are so beautiful." He whispers before nuzzling my neck. I shivered against him as his hands play with the clasp of my bra. His face buried in my neck moved up and down the sides of my face dropping kisses along my jawl
THINKING “What...?”There are so many things I want to ask but the only word I was capable of producing was a single question, well seeing as it was a single word.. what am I even thinking right now? “He fixed it for you, for both of you.” I eye the lady, I honestly don't understand why she is in such a pissy attitude. “He also fixed it for you right? I don’t see you thanking him or being polite to him.” I felt Vaughn tug on my arm, but I was going to get them to be polite to him. And apologise for calling him a predator. “We are grateful we don’t have this problem on our hands anymore, and it was wonderful working with you Mr. Walker, I wish you the very best wherever you end up.” Mr Adam says. I scoff before Vaughn could respond. “That’s it? No thank you? No apologies? You called him a predator, and I demand an apology right now.” The lady sneers at me. “He quit working here doesn’t mean anything. He has clearly groomed his student and if that’s not wha
RUCKUS “Can I discuss this with him first?” I find myself asking. The woman who baited me scoffs. “Would you look at that? She has to run to him first. Do you think a grown man would offer himself up for you?” I ignore her and search the faces of the other board members. “It happened with both of us consenting, I shouldn't have to make this decision alone.” “Mr. Walker was unreachable when we called you in, which explains his absence. We need your decision today, as you know the school's image is at stake.” I swallow.“One hour, I know where he is, I’ll get there in an hour and be back here with your response.” Baiting lady scoffs again. Grating on my nerves. “Do you think we should wait for you? We have important things to do.” “But this concerns him also. It’s only fair that he knows about it.” “Three hours. No more.” Mr. Adam says, startling everyone in the room, including me. When I don't move, he cocks his head to the side. “You really have time
LOVER GIRL I swiped reject on Anne's call again as I head for the door. A text comes from her immediately I do, like she was typing the message as she called. “A heads up, the school board will be calling you in.” My heart dropped to my stomach, as if it was not already there since the whole ordeal started. “Where are you going?” Jessica asked in an urgent tone. Just then an e-mail drops, the one inviting me to sit with the board, the date and time said now, and failure to attend means I was guilty and ready to receive whatever punishment came our way. “School board. And I have to go now.” My voice raised, even in my ears. Jessica cursed and then slipped on her shoes. “Let's go.”“What do you mean..?”She snatched the car keys from me. “You are too shaky to drive, and you will need moral support.” She matches to the car after her spiel. I numbly follow her to the car, and as I fix my seat belt, Leo and Cecilia slid into the back seat. I can only mana
DISGUST It seems all the phones were going off at the same time. I mostly ignored mine whilst scouring the internet for his sister's social media and hopefully, their phone numbers. I had sent dozens of texts to him but got no response, and it had taken a stern talking to from Leo for me to see that going over to his place would only fan the rumours and put him in an even more awkward position. Cecilia’s agents and others were calling non stop, I pretend not to see her grit her teeth as she hit the ignore button. Guilt nipped at my conscience but I was too preoccupied to let it bother me. Jessica kept rejecting calls from people we shared classes with. The whole thing had gone crazy, people were actually leaving comments about how I was favoured in his class and how we always left class together, some might be true but I wish they’d focus on their business, we are two grown adults. “Any luck finding them?” I shake my head, not looking away from the screen. I lef
DENIAL“Holy shit! If love does exist.. it does exist, so I actually do love him.” The words sounded foreign in my ears, but they were true, or else why was my heart banging against my rib cage? And my stomach in tumbles? “I love him.” I whisper.And then with even more conviction, I go, “I really am in love with him!”“Much better isn’t it?”Excitement bubbled in my veins, threatening to burst wide open. “Much! Oh, thank you Leo! Thank you so much! I gotta go let him know how I feel. Do you think he would accept my feelings? Oh my god if I get rejected or something, the world has to end.” He chuckles. “Hey, I got rejected and I turned out okay.” I physically wince at that.“I’m sorry about that.”He waves me and my too late of apology away. “I got over it. Besides, we are talking about you and your first love now.” I bite my lip in thought.“Did you always know? That I was in love with Vaughn.” It still sounded foreign and made me feel t
