Lena

I had such a bad day. Such a lousy fucking day.

I ran to my car so fast that he I definitely made him think I was mad.

From the moment I found a place to park for the night, I couldn't stop crying, and not just crying, but sobbing!

After a good thirty minutes of doing just that, I felt a little better, as anyone does after a good cry.

Since I felt haunted by imaginary dangers all night long, I slept worse than I ever had. The heat didn't help either. It took me a while to finally fall asleep and forget, even for a little bit, how messed up my life was. I woke up about four times during the night, nightmares filled my dreams and I prayed desperately for some peace.

That peace never came.

I woke up sweaty and tired. I must fix the AC, or I might burn in my sleep in this heat if fear or panic doesn't do the trick!

Most definitely, I need a safe place to sleep at night and a better job to afford it. This living in my car situation must end at some point. But unfortunately, th

    LenaOnce we were outside, I burst into laughter. "Oh, Max thanks for this. She’ll hate me forever now" "Why?" he smiled while letting my hand go. Didn't like that. "She was flirting with you, and you left with me. That will kill her" I laughed some more. "I see. And that is good for you because...?" he smiled. "I don't really like her and you... you are handsome and all and... oh forget it, it's childish, but I loved her reaction" I kept giggling. "So, imagine if I do this" he almost whispered and immediately leaned closer to me. He put his hand around my waist and caressed my cheek for just a moment before he softly pressed his lips on mine. Dear God! I thought my heart would burst out of my chest. What happened? My whole body caught on fire instantly and I didn't feel like touching the ground anymore. I released every reservation I had, and I kissed him back. I indulged in that, without thinking... A moan slipped my mouth and the little voice inside my head screamed 'W

    Lena I drove near Larson Street, which was close by, and walked two blocks to reach his apartment building. Basically, I hid my car. I saw his name written on the intercom and buzzed M. Walker. The camera was pointing at me, and I guessed he could see my face in high definition. He buzzed me in, and I took the super clean elevator to the seventh floor. That was a very nice building. I would be lying if I said that I didn’t check myself in the elevator’s mirror. My heart was still racing out of excitement, and I walked slowly towards his apartment, somehow making the surroundings my own. I took a deep breath and raised my slightly trembling finger to press his doorbell. A very monotonous sound emerged from the inside and after a few seconds that felt like minutes, he opened the door. He wore long grey pajama pants and a plain white T-shirt. His muscles looked toned as always and he softly smiled at me. "Your order, sir" I awkwardly smiled back. He waved at me to come i

    Lena His living room was covered in tones of grey and white. There was a big white sofa in front of the huge windows, that displayed the whole city and a TV on the wall. A king-size bed for Jake was near the sofa. There was a modern fireplace in the corner and a really nice grey capret underneath our feet. He had a minimal white kitchen and a stool kitchen island. A few paintings on the wall, a PS5 underneath the TV, a bookshelf that covered almost the entire wall between the narrow hall, and a door next to the glass staircase that led upstairs. There was no space for new books. His place was very neat. "Can I use your bathroom?" I asked. "Of course, it's that door over there" He pointed to the door near the glass staircase that led up to his bedroom. My eyes spotted a huge bed with white linens on it, right before I entered the bathroom. The bathroom had a shower with glass doors, very fancy. I looked at myself in the mirror and took a deep breath. Why the hell did

    Maximus Fuck! I couldn’t believe what just happened. Did she have to be totally wasted again? Could anyone stop her? Hell fucking no! I had the urge to slap her right in the face, to calm her the fuck down, but I was never the type, and I’ll never be. Why can't she accept that we are over, and we were never on to begin with? How many times do I have to say it? When something doesn't work, it doesn't fucking work! She humiliated herself once again and then crushed on my bed in an unconscious state. Jake tensed at her presence, and he wasn't the only one... I don't like women who make a scene. Sally is super-hot no doubt that, but after her recent behavior, she became the exact opposite. I have known her for years, and only recently had we had our fun, we both wanted nothing more, especially her. She made it perfectly clear that I should just be satisfied with what we had, and I never complained. For a month now she enjoyed our time together. But lately she turne

    Lena I kept walking fast but his strong arms grabbed me from behind and stopped me from running away. "Don't. Just leave" I said to him, but he didn't listen. "What happened?" he asked, still grabbing my arm and pinning me in place. "I quit my job that happened!" I angrily exclaimed. "Why?" "I guess I had enough. What the hell are you doing here?!" "I came to see you and maybe talk..." "There is nothing to talk about Max. Don't bother. Everything's cool" I assured him and tried to release myself from his grip, but I couldn't. "I want to talk some more" he insisted. "You should have called first! I don't want to talk. Let go!" my voice became angrier and louder than before. "I did call, you just didn't answer" I had the urge to quickly check my phone but honest to God, I didn't really care that much. "Lena, I know you’re upset right now, but what exactly happened in there?" "What is the matter with you? Why do you care so much? Just let me go!" I yelled. He

    Lena This time he didn't push me against the wall, as we entered his apartment. We walked the entire narrow hall into the living room, our lips never parted the entire time. Jake got excited when he saw us, but no one paid attention to him. I think I heard him whining but no one could stop what was happening. Max's hands were all over my body, holding and touching me so possessively. I felt so powerless, and I loved it. He took control over my body, with every kiss, every touch, he demanded more, with such tension that it made me lose my breath and mind. He urgently took my clothes off with only a few quick movements. He looked at me standing in front of him almost naked and honest to God I thought his inner lion would burst out of him any second now. His eyes were full of primal lust. I felt breathless and so wanted by him that my body shivered with every intense look he gave me. He took his shirt and pants off and grabbed me by the waist with one hand. I wasn't touching the gr

    Lena When I woke up the next morning, Max was already gone to work. The time was almost 7:30. I wondered if he trusted me that much to leave me at his apartment all alone. He barely knew me. I immediately checked my phone, and I had two missed calls from him from yesterday. He did call as he said, I was working at the time and didn't even hear my phone ring. Max: Make yourself at home. Taxi's services number are on the fridge. I read Max’s text and smiled. He was so considerate. Are you alright? Aaron is an asshole! I read a text from Antony and quickly called him. “Hey. Did I wake you up?” “No, Len I’m still awake” "I'm sorry if I put you in an awkward position yesterday” I apologized. “Awkward? Are you freaking kidding me? It felt so good. Fuck that asshole!” he replied cheerfully. “And what do you mean by still awake? You haven't slept yet?” I asked him mischievously, because for Antony to be awake at this time was extremely rare. “I'm goi

    Lena I woke up fully rested and fully anticipated for a text from Max. I still got nothing. I wondered what was wrong with him, or if I did something to upset him. I wrote him a message and quickly erased it and shoved my phone into my bag. I drove to my usual gas station to use their bathroom and put a little gas in the car. To be honest, I was a little bit scared to go back there, since the attack and since his appearance at the store yesterday. But I couldn't live in fear. When I parked at the station, I scanned the place around like I was a radar, but the creepy guy wasn’t lurking around. I took a deep breath and went on with my schedule. I checked my phone several times and I still got nothing new from Max. I sighed with frustration. I drove to the restaurant and my lunch shift started smoothly. Aaron and Antony acted as if nothing had happened. Antony smiled the entire time and whispered the word party too many times, I really liked his attitude towards life. It was a

    Lena I sighed with frustration once I saw my car behind the wired fence of the police pound yard. We came early to pick it up, since it got confiscated by the police the night, I drunk my sorrows away. It’s been two weeks since that awful day and I already avoided this matter for long enough. It had to be down today. “We are going to sell, right?” Max asked yet it wasn’t a question, as he knew me too well. “It’s like one mind” I smiled at him. I didn’t want to drive it any more. I didn’t even want to be inside it. All I had was awful memories out of it. It was time. “We’ll drive to the yard to sell it today” he grabbed me by my hand and we walked to get it back. “Does it worth anything really?” “Not much, but it’s better than to have it hanging around for no reason” “I don’t care, I want to get rid of it” I squeezed his hand. We went straight to the used car dealership and it was gone, not for much but I didn’t care. I didn’t even take a last look at

    Max Once outside, I gave her a firmly warning "Don't you dare walk away" without even turning to face her "The car is over there" I added in the same way. She followed without protesting, as I heard her dragging her feet behind me. We entered the car and I quickly drove away the moment she closed the door. I didn't even wait to put her seat belt on, I was so angry and tired. I pressed my lips together, to stop myself from cursing all forces of nature, as we enjoyed this awkward silence that could easily kill us both. With a quick look, I saw her looking out the window and having her arms crossed in front of her. Her jeans were slightly ripped on the left side and her sweater was a bit dirty and she had a few scratches on her hand. I slowed down with the gas, as I was calmer, just with the thought she was safe here with me. So many questions filled my angry mind, as we were going through the calm before the storm. "I want a divorce" she breathed and I froze in place. A div

    Lena My widened eyes stayed on her for a second, thanking her silently for this selfless act that would shock me until the day I die. I have never experienced such deep connection with my mother until this day. With that stare I felt love, even though we said nothing. I closed the door and pushed myself in the front seat. I put my keys in the ignition and turned to look at her one more time. She was leaning close to the passenger seat window, as she wiped a tear off her eyes and pressed her lips together. "You'll never, ever, see me again," she whimpered. Her voice was focused and she made extra effort to stop her tears like she was making the statement of the century. As lovely as it was, I preferred to cut my arm off, instead of seeing her ever again! I didn't know how to react, she got me fooled too many times. I was just staring at her, battling between run away or give her one last hug. Was she concerned over me or it was just another rouse? "Go back and live your life. I'

    Max My eyes laid on Christina’s calm face with great surprise. Firstly, because I thought she left with Karen and secondly, I have never seen her wearing a simple loose athletic outfit that’s not super tight on her. "Why are you here, Chris? And especially now?" "Because your mother called and said there was something wrong with you” “And the first person she thought to call at this hour it was you, smart” I scoffed. “I came here to check on you. You know I care for you, Max" "Why the hell did she call you? You shouldn't have come and you shouldn't care. I'm fine. Just leave" I firmly said, showing her the way out with my hand. "No. I would rather stay here and talk about what's wrong. Where is your... wife?" I snorted. Shit, she was enjoying my pain, wasn't she? Where was Lena, it was an excellent question. I didn't know if I should be worried or angry at her. At least she could leave me a simple note or something, Fuck you, bye. At least! But she didn't leave a note f

    Lena I stopped the car in front of this very sketchy bar. It seemed dirty, as every bar in this city that wasn’t downtown. I sighed, as I didn't expect anything better. Vanessa’s boyfriend was waiting for us outside and waved to her the moment we parked. He was tall and seemed very strong despite his weight. He was bald but had a huge beard. His tattoo above his right eye seemed painful and it was like a tiger or something, I couldn't see clearly. Both of his knuckles were fully tattooed and even though I liked tattoos a lot, I didn’t like what I was looking at. He opened the door and sat on the back seat, like we knew each other for years and we were about to have a fun ride. He had a very confident attitude. A heavy smell of marijuana filled my car and I felt like throwing up. I hated the smell, as it reminded my childhood. "Hello, baby" Vanessa greeted him with the greatest joy, like he was the most important thing for her, as he just simply nodded at her with a half-smile

    Lena My heart was racing as I quickly put on a pair of tight black jeans and a black thin sweater. I crossed my bag over my shoulder and then stormed out, to find Vanessa, hoping for the best. I couldn't let come closer to Max's parents. I was embarrassed enough already to look them in the eye, after they found out about Oliver, how could I let them meet Vanessa? She would probably ask them for money, so I would let her ask me instead. I would give her all my savings and then she would leave. I hoped. I parked near that coffee shop and walked angrily towards it. My heart was pounding, as I felt anxious, fear and disgust. I would meet the woman who was laughing, while her son was dying. The woman who never help us when we needed her the most and then disappeared like she never had children. I noticed her from afar seating on a table outside the shop. I would recognize her anywhere, despite how many years had passed. It was chilly outside and I was thankful for the sweater I w

    Lena Once I reached the final step of the stairs, Max rushed close to me and yelled, not to me but definitely around him "We are leaving, now!", as he grabbed me by the wrist and dragged me towards the main entrance door. "What is wrong, son?" Karen raised her voice in concern. She got no answer. He quickly put me in the car, without saying goodbye to anyone and practically drove like crazy through the driveway and out of the house in seconds it seemed. The wheels even spined during his effort. He was very angry, very, very angry, I haven’t ever seen him like this. After five minutes of just driving in silence, I dared asked him "What happened?" "Karen happened!" he raised his voice; he wasn’t yet calm. "What did she do?" I tried to stay calm for the both of us. "She invited her!" He kept the same tone. "Christina?" "Who else, babe?" "Why were you chasing each other?" "What?" he snapped and looked at me for a second and then turn his eyes on the road again. At least h

    Max I had this unusual feeling that I couldn’t shake off since morning. We were getting dressed for the party at my parents’ house and I felt nervous, and I couldn’t understand why. I knew that Karen would screw this up in one way or another, the how wasn’t important, so feeling this way made no sense. We dressed up for the occasion, it was a formal event that Karen was in charge. We matched our outfit without planning it, as she wore her nice black knee-high dress and her heels and I wore a black suit, minus the jacket. We arrived at my parents' house at 20:00 and all most of the guests were already there. My Karen quickly welcomed us at the front door, wearing a very expensive blue dress and she had her pearls around her neck. She smiled politely and hugged Lena, as she softly kissed my cheek without the affection, someone would expect. I felt good with that as she just simply smiled at me. Lena might be softer with her, but I still couldn't. "You look so beautiful, dear," m

    Lena Paul asked the server to add two more sittings to the table and he politely obliged. He set them up between Paul and Chris. Karla didn’t even greet anyone, as she was sitting on her chair. She kept touching her hair with her long red long nails and looked bored as always. Karen on the other hand, sat softly on her chair and crossed her legs, as she pointed her nose up proudly, like she accomplished something. Even though I didn’t like her change of attitude, she kept herself behaved. I thought she would start a fight or complain about something at least minor, but nope, she was being an angel. She stayed there silently at her seat and listened to the rest of our guest chatting. I was relieved and somehow happy, considering that I wanted her in her son's life, she was his mother. Funny that I was quick to let her off the hook when I couldn’t do the same with my own mother. We kept chatting, laughing, and sharing stories, as it was excepted. "And we were dancing at this c
