Chapter 23 - Uncomplicated
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56“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

“This smells so good. Wow, I’m literally salivating. It looks good too.” Adira says taking the seat she was sitting in before she left me in the kitchen. I place a bowl of food in front of her and she smiles. I’m proud of the food I made tonight. I can’t wait for her to have a bite.“It tastes good too.” I say smiling at her proudly. I can tell by the smell that this is the best Teriyaki chicken I’ve ever made. I don’t need her to confirm that fact but I love that she loves what she’s seeing.“Wow!” She exclaims after taking a bite. She looks at me appreciatively and then she takes another bite immediately after. I smile feeling good; I love to see her enjoying the little things.“I told you.” I say when she does her little dance. I take a seat and start eating too. I do a dance too when the chicken hits my taste buds. This is really god, my mother

“I knew if I didn’t come to you, you would never come to me. So here I am, tell me what you want.” My mother says sitting on my sofa. She’s been sitting there for the past three hours. She just showed up at my door unannounced. I had a client so she had to wait for me to finish with her hair first.I thought she’d leave when she realized I was busy but no. she waited it out. She didn’t say a word until now. I know why she’s here and I’m already dreading the conversation. I stand at the front door unable to sit down.I’ve been standing there since my client left. I don’t trust myself to relax when my mother is here.“I don’t want anything from you.” I say and she looks at me shocked. But it’s true, she made sure that I never want or need anything from her. Instead she’s the one always demanding things from me. That’s why she’s here right?“You

“I’m glad you decided to come with me.” I say smiling at her. She’s walking toward me, her bag in one hand her phone in the other. I was surprised when she texted letting me know she’s like to come with me this weekend. I was sure she wasn’t interested. I open my car trunk and take the bag from her.She’s looking at me unsure; I knew this wouldn’t be easy for her so I came prepared. I know she might change her mind and I’d have to go alone but I’m hopeful.“I’m still not sure this is a good idea.” She says looking back at her apartment building like she’s wants to run back home. I close the trunk and stand next to her; I give her a moment to think this over. I don’t want to rush her into anything.I take a deep breath and stay calm and wait for her to decide if she wants to change her mind or not. I cross my fingers praying she doesn’t. I already told my parents

“Adira, wake up. We’re here.” Simon says touching my waking me up. I open my eyes and realize the car is not moving anymore. When did I fall asleep? I remember us leaving the rest stop and then from there I’m blank. I suspect it the food we had, it was too good. The lull of the car was the perfect lullaby for me.I know I need to stop falling asleep around this man, he’s going to think I do it on purpose. This is the second time I’ve knocked out around him. But again that was the best sleep I’ve had in a week. I’m beginning to think the quality of sleep has more to do with him being around than it does to do with where I’m sleeping.“I’m such a terrible travel mate.” I say looking at him. “I would says I’m sorry I fell asleep but I’m kind of not.” I say and he smiles. He looks so tired right now, maybe if I hadn’t fallen asleep in the last leg of our trip I would have

“You parents are very into each other.” Adira says as we walk out of m parent’s house and head down my street. I want to take her on a night walk in my neighborhood. I used to take night walks all the time when I lived at home. I find the night air relaxing, especially if I’m going to sleep right after my walk.And our neighborhood is very beautiful at night; most people are in their houses at this hour. So we can walk casually in the middle of the streets with no cars driving up and down.“Yeah, they act like newlyweds. I doubt they’ll ever stop.” I say smiling; my parents are obsessed with each other. They are as touchy feely today as they were when I was old enough to understand. I tease them all the time about how much they kiss and hug each other.“It’s so beautiful to see.” She says surprising me. That’s not the usual reaction I usually get when people see my parents together. I’ve fou

I want my sister's lover Chapter 30 - Capture the moment
The breeze makes Adira’s hair fly around her, she smiles at me through the lens taking my breath away. I snap a few pictures of her beautiful face. I’ve wanted to take pictures of her from the moment I saw her. I wanted to capture her beauty and keep it forever. The ocean behind her makes her look majestic; she looks like she belongs here. The waves sloshing behind her give the pictures a depth that is incredible. I want to touch her and bring the same beauty I feel around her to me. But at the same time I don’t want to ruin the moment. Now that I’m here doing just that I’m lost for words, this girl is beautiful. She has the kind of beauty no one can deny. She doesn’t have to try hard; her smile alone is life changing. She looks even more beautiful when she’s frustrated.

“You look beautiful tonight.” Simon says intertwining my fingers with his. The warmth of his hand seeps through my body a nice contrast to the cool night air. I breathe slowly, enjoying the atmosphere. We walk up from the parking to a gate in the far distance. I breathe in the evening air, smiling at how happy I’ve been this whole weekend. We had so much fun at the beach, once I got over my awkwardness I started to enjoy Simon taking pictures of me. He made me feel so special. I’ve never gotten so much attention from one human being.

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.

“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’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
I want my sister's lover Chapter 48 - A different way
“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

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

“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
