All I could see, hear and feel was darkness. My whole body felt numb as fuck and I couldn't move a darn limb. I felt insensible. I tried to fight the numbness and move my body but a sharp pain coming from a random unidentifiable part of my body held me down.
Pain; unbearable, unbeatable, inexplicable, unexplainable pain. I tried to scream but I couldn't feel my throat; I tried to scream but my head was under wateršš. I tried a second time but I still couldn't access or feel my throat so I just laid pretty in my beautiful beautiful darkness.
This felt like sleep paralysis except for the difference; I couldn't hear or feel anything around me. I was totally unaware of what was happening outside my body and I wasn't terrified of anything so I couldn't exactly class this state as sleep paralysis. Or was this a new stage nobody else had discovered?
Hold on, was I dead? I couldn't even tell. Even if
Random POVThe night was pretty bright when she moved into her new apartment on 3rd avenue. She dragged her boxes into the rooms based on their description. The rodents had taken over nearly half her properties back in Sun street.She tried to ignore them but they kept eating more of her stuff up so she had to move. She had tried extermination and patching up even the tiniest holes in the apartment but they kept coming in. The landlady didn't even attend to her pleas or anything.She was angry at the world for everything that's been going on in her life. First, rodents take over her living space, the firm she works for transferred ownership to someone else and they might let go of some staff (which may or may not include her) or even end the business and she just used half her savings to get a new place in the middle of the month.She felt like raising a middle finger in the middle of the street just to spite whoeve
37You're probably all wondering, who the fuck is Belle? And why was she introduced like that? And you're probably judging me again like you always do but this time, you're judging me for interrupting and introducing Belle like that forgetting I am not the author of this shit show. I know exactly what's going on in your head, I told you earlier.And now you're judging the author because you now realize you were dumb and she's the one who introduced Belle so unnaturally. Now you're probably smiling in your head and dismissing it because you know I'm right.But then who are you to judge others? Why are you so judgy? Riiiiiight, you're not. Just becaus
38I was still uncomfortably in the painful abyss but the pain seemed to be decreasing slowly.Meanwhile, Belle had no idea why she was reacting that way to a simple business meeting invitation with the new owner of the business, Andrew Williams; just to refresh your memory because I almost always never remember that guy exists.Andrew: You know that guy is right here, right?Haha. Funny.She carried on with what she was typing until she felt and saw a shadow looming over her and whoever it was, they smelt delic
39"Yes Rita, I already had something to eat and I'm full." Belle told her and watched as she smiled a lovely smile through the video call. She smiled back at her and continued her office tale. "That's all that happened and it's all pretty weird and clichƩ especially the date part." She ended with a chuckle."And you feel this is the part where you and your boss start to get to know each other before you hit it off, right?" Rita laughed making Skylar laugh and appear behind Belle"That's the same thing I said, Rita." She piped in. Belle groaned pushing her off as she was putting her entire body weight on her.
40Belle thought of possible reasons why she behaved the way she did. He's her lecturer and they can't do that. She took off my shoes immediately and headed straight to her room. She took off her clothes and underwear and ducked straight into bed, falling asleep immediately.She groaned as the alarm blared for the fourth time today. She turned to hit snooze again but when she saw the time, she paled. 9:24. She was supposed to be at work before 8am.She quickly got up, brushed her teeth, took a quick shower and wore a rose gold off-the-shoulder dress that stopped just above the knee. The top part was fitted while from the waist down was flay. She paired it up with a pair of black sandals because honestly, she wasn't in the mood for heels.She heard barking, followed by little excited whimpers and it either meant Baby was up to something mischievous or he was eating. She chuckled and fixed her hair b
41Wait, I remembered something. It wasn't much but it was still something. I remembered carrying a baby, that was it. I tried so hard to at least remember something else but nothing was forthcoming, absolutely nothing.However, the pain had significantly reduced and now it was just mild, more bearable than before. I still had random aches from unidentifiable parts of my body though. Very weird.The one thing that made me comfortable with being in my abyss was the peace that it came with. It was awfully peaceful in a weird sick way. I actually enjoyed it, even though I hadn't seen the dark lord or beelzebub yet; hell is lame.Or maybe he'll isn't a place with fire, demons and whatnots. Maybe hell is sort of like a timeout or something in a black unending hole, an abyss where you find yourself after death. Maybe the abyss is for you to remember yourself and reflect upon your past mistakes.Then
42Belle could manage to wait for five minutes to see the doctor, it's not like she had a choice anyways. It's either this or wait three days, she couldn't afford to wait three days."What do you think their emergency is?" Belle projected towards Rita who had already zoned out a long time ago. Belle rolled her eyes and pinched her cousin."What the hell?!" Rita exclaimed as she zoned back in."I said what do you think their emergency is?" She repeated."Who?""The couple that bumped into us.""I don't know, maybe a dying grandma?""I don't think so.""Why are you so interested anyways?""I don't know, I guess their hurry just piqued my interest.""None of their problems matter to us, we just have to get you back to normal so you can eat well at least.""Right."
Chapter 43It was just two days into the medication and Belle was already feeling good, great even. She successfully got a one week leave from her job because of her illness; well, they didnāt know if it was contagious so they had to give her the leave so as not to infect anyone else.Meanwhile, her assistant, Tiana worked her job in the meantime. Belle was the new chief editor and there was no way she would let Tiana remain in the same old position as before. The girl works really hard and sheād been in that position way before Belle started working with the institution so it felt right to give her the promotion. She could pick anyone to become her assistant chief editor; perks of being the chief editor and she picked Tiana. She promoted the zealous girl from being the assistant to
"Eveā" "No, listen to me this time, Jade." I took a short step towards her. "I heard and saw everything, there's no need to explain anything to me anymore." I cut her off before she could get any further. "I know you already found out the truth, I'm here to tell you I still haven't found Remy!" She yelled out of frustration. That had to be the worst news I'd heard all month. What the hell? I couldn't believe she still had to conform to having sex with that son of a bitch, Grey. What if he just lied? What if he was never the one who sent the burglars? What if he doesn't even have Remy or know the whereabouts of the burglars or Remy? What if he just came up with the story on the spot so he'd have sex with Jade? What if he's lying about bringing back her child when in actual reality, he's unable to do that or he has killed the child or hurt him.
"Soā¦ you've never gone skinny-dipping before for real?" "Yeah." Raphael muffled as I drew shapes and patterns on the back of his head while he sucked my nipples. We were going to have sex and all but this position we were in was oddly comfortable, relaxing and therapeutic for the both of us. We were both naked and he had his head in between my breasts while his tongue circled my nipples constantly. Therapeutic. "I really can't believe it. I mean, everyone has skinny-dipped at least once in their life, you're just strange." I told him casually. "Says the one who has never roleplayed in her entire life. " He retorted. &nbs
"Let's go somewhere private." He whispered in my ears slowly and seductively as his lips brushed against my ears softly. "Where do you have in mind?" I asked him as I pulled his face up to mind and let my lips linger a couple inches away from his. "I booked an Augustus premium suite in Caesars so we can go there." He pressed on, not missing eye contact. There was just one thing that shone in his eyes with so much light and sparkle; Lust. He was lustful. I could tell he needed me just as much as I needed him at this point. His lust was so evident and I could tell he had all that lust for me. It made me feel so good. Plus, I was completely drunk while he was tipsy so that set the mood even more.
There were five guys altogether, Raphael, Harvey, Martins, Ramirez and Duke. Also, we didn't get any of that strong alcohol. Nobody wants to pass out at omnia. "Questions time now. enough talking. Never have I ever cheated on a partner." Alexa, Jamie, Harvey and Ramirez took the shots. "Well, she was hot and my wife was home and she seduced me. No way in hell could I resist that very spicy latina. I mean, you all wouldn't." "Yeah, true, latinas are spicy as fuck." We all agreed consecutively. Unarguably true fact there. "I mean, he had to be one of the sexiest white guys I'd ever
Then, sadly I realized I had completely forgotten the fact that it was a night club I was going to and I had done a whole freaking daytime makeup and it was so fucking angering. I punched my pillow to contain my anger and annoyance at myself. Then I realized I could just transition the whole thing into a night time makeup. I decided to just build on the daytime makeup I'd already done. I started out with my black color outline eye pencil. It comes in a creamy jet black that glides on sleekly and looks fantastic smudged out for a more lived-in look. I brushed some of my W3LL people expressionist liquid liner directly onto my hand; it wasn't exactly necessary, but I do it to ensure a sleek, crisp a
Are you free? The girls and I are hanging out tonight at omnia club tonight. Dress code is formal and fancy. I read the text from Jamie out loud. Thank goodness. I actually needed something to get my mind off all the drama that had been going on in my life lately. It was tiring and frustrating as hell. Everyday, something new kept coming up. Can't there be at least one normal day? Before I know it, tomorrow, I'll find out that I was actually a man who got changed with surgery and my real name is Ethan and not Eve. Or I wasn't born. I was an illusion that got life by some weird cryo means. Or I'm not human, the scientists were testing out mutation and somehow my kind of mutant turned human.
You see, it started when I was born, my parents adored and loved me. I was born with meningitis and in case you might not know what meningitis is, let me explain it to you.ā "Meningitis is an inflammation of the tissue surrounding the brain and spinal cord (meninges). Viruses or bacteria may cause meningitis." "Symptoms include headache, stiff neck, fever, and malaise. Routine vaccination has decreased the incidence of many bacterial causes; however, viral causes are still common." "Bacterial meningitis can result in severe outcomes, including permanent hearing loss, brain damage, and even death." "The three types of meningitis are viral meningitis, fungal meningitis, and bacterial meningitis. Th
"You have something important to say?" "Yes, very important." Belle replied in clarification. I didn't know why. I had absolutely no idea why but I felt like whatever she had to say was big, really big. Like way beyond me big. I wondered what was on her mind and what she had to say. I didn't know when I began to panic for absolutely no reason. I hadn't even heard her speech. "Well, we'll have to sit down for this."She said softly as she stared at me with guilt written all over her features. If she was about to tell my dads about my sugar daddy, Raphael, then she might as well just get a knife and stab me in the back physically instead. We all went to the living room and sat down but none of us looked or seemed comfortable, especially not me. "What did you want to tell us? What is this about?" I asked her carefully. &
"Spill." "What?" I was genuinely confused about what she was referring to. I was confused about everything. I wasn't expecting anyone to just pop up and say anything once I entered. I had just seen Raphael off to his car where he gave me a kiss on the forehead which had been on my mind as I walked back. Alongside the many things and theories I had been coming up with while I slowly walked back to the house. And I opened the door and walked in, only to see Belle with her hands on her waist and a suggestive smirk, right beside Rodney who looked like he just wanted to sleep. "Spill." She repeated.
