Ivy Confession
"Tanya! Eric!" I cried while running into their embrace. "Hi!" they both jinxed. "Let's go get something to eat! I saw this amazing sushi bar not far from here!" Tanya offered. "No," Zeus declined. Tanya diverted her gaze to him. A look of annoyance overcame her, and she didn't try to hide it. "I was talking to Ivy. Not you." Zeus clenched his jaw before turning back into his home. "I'd love to go," I agreed. We hastily began running back towards the car. "Ivy!" Zeus hollered. I froze in my tracks, my eyes closing shut in fear. I felt his rough hand on mine before turning me around. Instead of cruelty, he placed something familiar in my hand. "Don't forget your phone," he said, "Call if you need me." He pecked me on my cheek as I tried my best not to lean away. I rushed into the car's back seat, eager to leave this place. "Can we please leave!" I pleaded. They both looked back at me in confusion. "What's wrong, Ivy?" Tanya asked. "Please just go! Go ba
Ivy Surprise
"What the Hell are you doing here?!" I shouted, "How did you know where I was?!" "That's not important," Zeus dismissed as he and two suit-clad bodyguards accompanied him on approach. I thought you were running." Smack! My eyes widened in shock when I saw Tanya's palm come into contact with Zeus's face. "Who the Hell do you think you are?!" she defended. "I'm the man whose roof you're living under now," Zeus answered, "Come with me, Ivy. Your friends can follow behind my bodyguards." I backed away, and he seized my wrist with a vicious jerk. "Get your hands off of her!" Tanya hollered. She tried to lunge at Zeus, but his bodyguards intervened. "Bring them in your car, and one of you bring theirs up to the house instead," Zeus victoriously smirked. "Wait-" Zeus climbed me over his shoulder and marched back to his car. The sight of anger was in both of my friends' eyes. "I'll see you at the mansion!" I hollered with a half-assed wave. I didn't want them to wo
Ivy Reminisce
When he put Eric and Tanya on the fifth floor opposite me, Zeus made his intentions known. Even though they were here, I couldn't have immediate access to them, and I could easily get lost trying to find their rooms. "Hey, beautiful!" Tanya greeted me while walking into my room, holding a tray full of fruit with melted chocolates, jams, and whipped cream, "I brought a special treat! Made it myself!" I ran over to help her with the tray. It looked heavy from all the fruit she had piled on it. "I thought we could talk, hang out," she smiled. We got situated on my bed when I saw Eric not coming through the door. "Where's Eric?" I asked. "He's hanging out with Reign and Dimitri. Trying to understand Zeus better," she answered. "Okay," I hesitated. "Don't worry," she consoled, "Eric's smart, he'll be okay." I took a deep breath before Tanya shoved a white chocolate-dipped strawberry into my mouth. The intense sweetness followed by the rush of sourness was refreshing. I
Ivy Pressure
"Zeus?!" I shouted, "Eric?!" "I ran into Eric in the kitchen and found out he didn't have a tuxedo for next week's wedding rehearsal," Zeus commented. "Wait, what? What wedding rehearsal?" I questioned. "Our wedding rehearsal is next Saturday," he explained, "Since Eric is going to be here, he has to attend the wedding. He is your best friend, after all." I froze while still straddling Tanya in confusion. What the Hell was he talking about? We never discussed having our wedding, let alone having a wedding rehearsal, and in just one week?! Was this man losing his mind or trying to make me angry? I crawled off of Tanya in a hurry. "May I talk to Zeus Alone for a moment, you guys?" I asked. Tanya and Eric looked as though they wanted to stay but understood with one look from me that I was serious. I folded my arms over my chest as the door closed behind them. "What the Hell? I don't remember you speaking to me about any of this! We never discussed when we were getting marrie
Ivy Kleinfeld
"It might help if you describe to us what style you're looking for," the female representative explained, "That way, we can find a selection of dresses you can try on. If you dislike the style, we can always try something different." "Something not so white," I tried to express myself, "Do you have anything red or black? Or both?" The female representative made an uncomfortable smile, "I can have a look to see what we have." Once she left, I stopped my fake smile and looked at the champagne; I could use a drink. "Jeez," Tanya expressed, "Black? Do you think anywhere will carry that type of dress?" "I don't care," I scoffed. I caved; I needed a drink. I began pouring a glass. "What are you doing?!" Tanya rushed and pulled the glass from my grasp, "You're pregnant!" I covered my face. If only I could express how unhappy I was about this, but if I did, she'd convince me to run here and now, and I wouldn't hesitate to follow. "Then add a ton of ice and fill most of it wi
Ivy Struggle
It was the night before our wedding rehearsal. To say I was nervous was an understatement. The thought of marrying Zeus so soon made my stomach turn in knots to the point where I was throwing up every day. I blamed it on morning sickness. Why was he pressing so hard? What was the point? If everything he said was true, why did he want to marry me so soon? Yes, his explanation was sound, but why the hard push? "You look stunning!" Tanya beamed, "That dress is perfect for tomorrow!" "I mean, she did put a rush on all the dresses. I'm surprised she got all four done in such a short amount of time," I commented. I love how our dresses are nearly identical—just the sleeves are different." "So expensive," she added. "Yeah, never had a dress so nice, not even when Callista and Dimitri bought them," I concurred. Knock. Knock. Knock. "Come in," I called. Eric entered my room. He was so handsome. His wet, loose, touseled hair fell around his face. He was wearing a black suit wi
Ivy Nothing
"Hey, would you mind staying till closing? I need to check on my son to ensure he hasn't done something stupid," Tanya sighed as she sorted out the tips."That bad?" I glanced over my left shoulder as I pushed a beer toward the man before me."He's at that stage where he doesn't care to listen," she exhaled with frustration, "I can't be there to make sure he handles his school, let alone even stay in school once I drop him off in the morning.""You remember being fourteen. It's not going to be easy," I responded before turning my attention back to the man before me, "That'll be $5." He fumbled in his wallet before placing seven dollars on the bar top and walking away. Tanya snagged it while blowing me a kiss."If his father would help and show him how to be a man instead of an angry teenage boy, then maybe I could understand-" she hesitated and shook her head, "You know what, no. I can't understand even if I tried."I looked into her eyes. The dark brown, almost black iris nearly blen
Ivy Virgin
"You never take anyone home," Eric stated, "Not even saying it as a joke, honey, you're still a virgin."Eric was one of my closest friends, whom I met back in middle school. We bonded over ditching class and getting drunk in empty parks. Sometimes, we sneaked into our homes while our parents were away at work and smoked their stash. Eric was tall and athletic, his copper skin with tattoos accentuating his muscles. His slanted eyes were beautifully angled, and his voice was soft and smooth, almost hypnotic. His thick, dark brown hair was slightly wavy and long enough to tuck behind his ears."Honey," I retorted, "Just because I don't take dick as you do doesn't mean I'm not open to it.""First off, I give it, not take it," he held up his right hand while counting off, "Second of all, if that were true, you would be with that tall, dark, and handsome man instead of me."I shook my head, and my mouth opened in a feeble attempt to respond, but only sounds came out. Eric mimicked me as he
