2024-10-29 19:42:56“How are you?” My mother says on the other end of the phone. I have her on speaker as I prepare my work room. I have five clients coming in today to do their hair. I’m going to have a long day today and I need to be prepared. First on the agenda is making sure this room is clean and organized.
I always look forward to the days I can work from home. I can set up the mood and make sure both my clients and I are comfortable. I make sure the room is the right temperature, it smells good. And I need to make sure all my tools are available to me at all times.
“I’m okay.” I say redoing the bed Chloe left all messed up. It looks like she just woke up and pulled the covers over the bed. The corners of the covers are hanging at awkward angles, the sheets underneath are wrinkled. I can’t have clients in here when it’s like this. I remember telling her to leave everything exactly as she found it. Al she has to do is pick

“You look pretty.” Chloe says when I walk out of my room into the kitchen. I pour myself a glass of water and take a healthy drink. I’m nervous about tonight; this date feels very official and serious. It doesn’t feel like the spontaneous and carefree ones we had before. This feels very life changing and life defining.“Thanks.” I say looking at her. I haven’t seen her since the night of her interview. She’s been leaving early and coming back late from work, she decided to stick with the job and I’m happy for her. This is the first adult decision she’s made since she got kicked out. I have hope that she’ll be out of my hair a in a few weeks.But I don’t want to get too excited too early but I think she’s on the right track. Well I hope, I never know with her. She might revert to her old ways. She hates this job so she might quit anytime but she knows the consequences now. Let’s hope she

Simon parks his car at the back of a huge building. I look around to figure out where we are but I genuinely don’t know. Being here with him shows me that I don’t really go anywhere. I have spent my life within the limits of my city. We drove for about an hour out of the city but I wouldn’t tell you what this place is called.I realize I need to explore more. I need to open myself to the idea of going places. I have my own car and money there isn’t a valid reason why I don’t know a place an hour out of my town. It has never occurred to me to go on a spontaneous drive. I bet I would be amazed at the fun things I’ll find outside of my little town.I really should not it, not just think about it. I mean really do it. Pack up my car and disappear for the weekend. I spend too much time cooped up in my apartment. Now that Chloe is living with me, I have even more reason to go on adventures.“I’ll get the door.&rdqu

“Are you sure you’re okay with having burgers for dinner? We can go to a much better restaurant; we don’t have t eat here.” I say and Adira gives me a side eye. I feel bad for not taking her t some posh, expensive place. But she insisted we come here, we were walking around looking for a nice place to eat when we came across this small restaurant.It’s so small it only has ten tables, the inside is nice but it’s nowhere near posh. It’s more like a local, family owned restaurant. It looks like the menu and décor haven’t been changed in a long time. At least the place is clean, if I wasn’t working on charming Adira this would have been perfect. But I’m on a mission here. Tonight was supposed to be about me sweeping her off her feet. I wanted to make a real impression. I want us to move forward in our relationship. I want her to think of me as more than just a random guy she has fun with. I want her

“Welcome.” I say when we walk into my apartment. I switch on the light and Adira gasps in surprise. She looks at me and then she looks back at my apartment.“Thank you very much.” Adira says walking in. I close the door behind us watching her look around. She has this look of awe looking at the art work. I have all types of art spread out throughout the apartment. It’s refreshing to see someone experience my personal space like this for the first time,“You are welcome.” I say walking past her into the kitchen. “I have two different flavors of ice cream, chocolate and raspberry. Which one would you like?” I ask opening the fridge. I take a deep breath to cal m myself. I can’t believe she’s here. Now that she’s a few feet from my studio all I can think about is painting her. I want to d it so bad but I know I can’t ask her now. I need to gain her trust and get her to a plac

“Shit.” Is the first word that comes out of my mouth when I open my eyes. I can’t believe its morning; I turn so I can see behind me. Simon is not in bed with me, I lie still listening to the sounds outside his room. I can hear him walking around out there. I think he’s in the kitchen, I can hear plates clinking together.I close my eyes for a second and feel myself fall asleep again. I open them quickly, I can’t fall asleep again. I have to get home. I don’t remember when I fell asleep last night. We spent the whole night talking about art, food and anything else we could think about.We laughed so much the muscles in my stomach hurt and then I don’t remember what happened. I don’t remember coming to bed. But I can tell you I had the best sleep of my life. I didn’t wake up at all through the night, that’s rare for me. But last night I knocked all the way out.

“Are you okay?” Simon says looking at me as we walk down a long path of a park in the city. The path is made of this shiny rock that looks like someone spilt water on the ground. And that water froze in place. It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in a long time.“No I’m not okay.” I say looking at him. I take a deep breath trying to clear my mind of the clutter rattling around in it. What Chloe said is echoing in my mind. I hate to think Simon and I will end the same way Phil and I did. I’m trying not to give her words any more energy but she hit home with her words.I like Simon a lot and I don’t think I would survive him doing that to me.“Do you want to talk about it?” He asks concerned. How do I tell him what my sister said without sounding crazy? Can I trust him with something so vulnerable? Can I even let him know how much I like him?“I want to but I don’t know

I went straight to bed as soon as I got home from my date with Simon. I didn’t want to run into Chloe and have her tell me how I’m failing as a sister. I’m being forced to hide in my own home. I weep at the memories of a time when my house was a safe haven.Like clockwork Chloe took over my life and like a fool I let her. Now I’m lying in my bed wide awake, I should be sleeping but I can’t. I wish I was in Simon’s bed right now. I want to sleep like I did the other night.My brain is running so fast right now there’s no way in hell I’m falling asleep.“Just come in.” I hear Chloe say at my front door. She’s trying to whisper but she’s failing. It’s 3 am and everything is quiet, so I can hear clearly. “Why are you walking so slowly? Come in.” She says and I hear feet shuffle on the floor. Chloe is unbelievable; she’s not pulling this sit on me right now. I

“Thank you for coming.” Adira says when she opens her apartment door. I can tell she’s tired. I was worried when she called me and asked to come over. She told me what happened with Chloe and I had to be there for her without question.She sounded so torn about everything. Although her sister is downright abusive and ungrateful, Adira loves her very much. I can tell she feels guilty about kicking her out. I think this is the best thing that could happen to the both of them. Adira is setting boundaries and sticking to them. That way she’s teaching Chloe to respect and value her. Chloe will be back and when she does she’s going to treat her sister right.It’s all part of the process, it may now but eventually they’ll figure it out. I just have to keep Adira’s mind off of everything until then.“Thank you for inviting me. I come bearing gifts.” I say raising the grocery bags

I want my sister's lover Chapter 52 - An unexpected ending
Two years later“Hey, there is a lady here so see you.” My assistant says walking into my office. I look up at her and smile. I told her not to disturb me for the next hour but she just had to walk in here. I don’t need this today.“Have Faith do her hair, I have so much paper work to go through. I can’t take on a client right now.” I say a little annoyed. I don’t have patience to deal with clients insist I do their hair today. On a normal day I would go out and talk them down. Convince them that my staff is capable of doing the job. But today is not a normal day; I have a lot of things to get through. I have other duties besides doing hair; I have to run the business as well.I have to make sure the schedule makes sense, the suggestions box is filled to the brim and I have to figure out where to find new staff. That means I have to get an ad out, hold interviews and I have to make sure whoever I h

“Good morning.” Simon says walking into our bedroom. I turn over and look at his beautiful man. I can’t believe he’s all mine, I catch myself staring at him in awe sometimes. I just can’t believe that I bagged such a loyal, loving and talented human being. He’s incredible and he’s mine. “I was hoping you were up. I got tire of waiting for you to wake up.” he says getting on the bed. He smiles coming closer to me for a kiss.“Morning.” I say kissing him back. He smiles staring at me for long time. I bet he’s been up for hours. Living with him showed me that he doesn’t sleep that much. I’ve changed, I enjoy sleeping these days. I look forward to bedtime and I wake up early when I have to. I don’t get out of bed before 10 am if I don’t have to. Gone are the days of insomnia and early mornings, I love my beauty sleep.
I want my sister's lover Chapter 50 - It's Time
“I’m sorry.” Adira says walking through the door. I breathe a sigh of relief seeing her back home. I was so worried she wasn’t going to come back. I don’t know why but I had this feeling of dread when she walked out of here with her sister. I had half the mind to go after them; I had to talk myself down and let her do what she needs to do. She didn’t need me to come to her rescue this time; I understand she needed to do this herself. She needed to make her sister respect her and she doesn’t need me holding her hand to do that. Tonight was the death of the old Adira; new Adira took control of the situation and didn’t falter. It was hard to stand back and watch her hurting but I’m glad I held back. They both needed to go through that to make sure it never happens again. “Don’t apologize you didn’t do anything wrong.” I say and she closes the door. She takes off her shoes but she doesn’t walk in any closer to me. She feels guilty about what Chloe did to me so she’

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Simon asks me for the 100th time. I turn from my side to my back on my bed and look at him. I’m so exhausted , I don’t think I’ve ever cried like I did tonight. I walked out of my parent’s house and just lost it. I couldn’t hold in all that fear, anger and shame. I had to cry it out and I’m so happy he was there with me. It felt good to have someone there for me.The conversation I had with my father forced me to release the hurt and I was holding on to all these years. It was scary for Simon because he didn’t know what was going on. I just started crying without warning. He held me for about ten minutes listening to me cry my heart out.He didn’t rush me with questions or push me to tell him what was wrong. He just held me and let me cry it out. I can only imagine the types of thoughts that were running through his mind when I was crying. He probably thought

“What did you want to talk to me about?” I say to my father a long silence. He hasn’t said anything to me since I walked into the living room he’s sitting on his chair staring at the window. He might be comfortable with the silence, I’m not. It freaks me out; I don’t know what to do with myself. My mind keeps raising coming up with different reasons why he called me here. And most of them end with me dead in a ditch. That’s how deep my trust issues run.Even when I was a child I didn’t feel safe with my parents. I was filled with anxiety and fear every time I had to go somewhere with him. And unfortunately my mother wasn’t any different. My saving grace was getting older. Growing up gave me choices; I could decide where I wanted to go. I only went places with my father when it was necessary, other than that I stayed home.Think about it now, it’s a little sad. How can a child not feel safe with her fathe
I want my sister's lover Chapter 47 - A tide of change
My father opens the door looking at me like he’s surprised I’m here. I shift from one foot to another, nervous. I didn’t plan on being here today. My father called me out of the blue and summoned me here. He told me to show up at the house tonight. I wanted to make an excuse why I couldn’t come but I had a feeling he wouldn’t take no for an answer.“Who’s that in the car?” My father asks looking at Simon sitting in the driver’s side of his car. I look at my father suspiciously. I say a little prayer that he doesn’t start throwing a fit. He never liked it when I brought boys over to the house. That’s why I asked Simon to stay in the car.My dad sees pregnancy when he sees his daughters with a boy. He just thinks trouble and there’s no changing his mind. I was hoping he wouldn’t notice Simon in the car, I meant it’s almost dark outside . But I guess my father has 20/20 vision.&ldq
I want my sister's lover Chapter 46 - Shoot your shot
“Hi.” Chloe says opening the door. The smile on my face immediately turns into a frown. If she’s opening the door it means Adira is not home yet. I look down the hall contemplating if I should go wait for Adira downstairs. I don’t want to be with Chloe alone, I don’t trust her at all. “Adira is not home yet, that means we have time to talk. Come in.” She says opening the door wider.She smiles at me and I can feel my gut stand on its feet. It is telling to get the hell out of here. I’m not comfortable with this at all. I take out my phone and dial Adira’s number. I need to find out where she is and she needs to know where I am.“Hey, I’m running a little late. I’m sorry.” She says answering on the second ring. “I got an extra appointment I didn’t plane for.” She adds and I feel guilty for bothering her. I bet she’s swamped right now. I just ha

“I want to talk to you about something.” I say to Adira and she looks at me for a moment unsure. She sits up on her bed staring at me. I look at her beautiful face hoping she will be open to what I’m about to tell her. I hope she sees the good in it and not the disaster. Want her to be with me on this so bad, if she says yes our life would be so good together.“I feel like you’re about to tell me something life altering.” She says looking at me sideways. She’s not wrong; I want us to change our life for the better. This is going to be hard for her I know but I’m with her all the way.“Well.” I say and she bulges her eyes out scared. I want to calm her down and tell her it’s nothing big but I don’t know if that’s true. Moving is big thing, asking her to uproot her life for me is a big thing. I am asking the world of her but I promise t give her the world too.“

“I feel sleepy; I think we should turn in.” Adira says to Simon and they give each other that cheesy, we’re in love smile that I hate. They look so perfect and happy together. I hate that Adira has so much happiness with someone. I know it’s wrong but I love it when she’s unhappy, especially when I’m happy but I don’t care. It lets me know that I’m not a failure, it’s lets me know that I’m not alone. Seeing her with Simon makes feel so lonely, it hurts to know that I’m in this alone. “That’s sad I thought you guys were going to stay up with me for a little while longer.” I say smiling at Simon sweetly. I’m talking to him anyways; I want him to stay up all night with me. I don’t care about Adira she can go sleep alone. I want to hear more of his funny childhood stories. He’s a very cool guy, I get why Adira is so in love with him. I would be obsessed with him too if he was my boyfriend. In fact I’m not ashamed to sa
