Boo
The deal in Seattle that lasted five days had gone well. Ferguson Incorporated was now mine. At our celebratory lunch, Mr. Hiroko Yashimo invited me to go with him to California for a weekend getaway. I was about to decline, because all I wanted to do was go home and find Lucille, but then I saw her. "Daisy." Her long blonde hair and pale skin caught my eye. She passed by the restaurant wearing her favorite white nightgown.
I hurried out, bumping into a waiter carrying a tray of food, the sound of broken glass and utensils made a ruckus. Shit. "Sorry. Sorry." I said, not stopping to help him up. When I was finally outside, I found the sidewalks empty. My chest tightened as
Crazy in love April 6, 2009 Jasper Lucille. Lucille. Lucille. Beautiful, hot, smart, funny, Lucille. I lay on my bed and tried to get her out of my mind. I tossed and turned. I placed the pillow on my face and shouted. AAAHHHHH!! Good thing I own the whole 30th floor or else the neighboors would have thought I was crazy. Lucille was smiling. Lucille on top of me grinding hard. Lucille's mouth was open and her head bent backwards having an orgasm. I sighed and gave up the task. My mind was determined to make me suffer. There was no escaping her. I looked at the time on my bedside table and it was still 9:30pm. Fuck. I have to see her.
Goodbyes April 7 2009 Lucille Permanently delete all items? Am I sure? Do I really want to delete all the photos of Nathan and me? Decide Lu. You can do this. You have to do this now. I stared at my laptop's screen with red puffy eyes and sniffed. Even though I was alone in the lab, it felt like someone was crushing my chest with their hands. When Jasper nibbled on my ear and kissed my neck a few hours ago, I suddenly remembered how Nathan used to do it. For a moment I fantasized that it was him behind me and I allowed myself to feel that longing I had for him since we broke up. But when Jasper f
The Past and The Present April 10, 2009 Boo Lucille lay beside me with her eyes closed, her naked chest heaved up and down. I propped my elbow up to look at her beautiful face and traced my fingers on her nose and lips. She smiled and looked at me. Lucille lifted her head up to meet my lips and I moved on top of her. I lightly kissed her cheeks, her neck and her breasts. Her lavender scent intoxicated me. My mouth went lower to the spot between her legs until she moaned over and over again. The sweet sound of her voice made me hard. I lifted my head to look at her but my pounding heart came to a full stop. Lucille’s bloodshot eyes were wide with fear as she looked at me. She put her hands on her throat as if she couldn't breathe and blood started dripping from her head
A Wink and a Smile April 10, 2009 Lucille I was shaking. It was so hard to breathe. The paparazzi blocked my way in the hospital parking lot. Steph and Jade had just left when they ganged up and formed a circle around me so I couldn't get to my car. All of them kept shouting for me to give them a smile but I hid my face with my bag and tried to walk forward to where my car was parked. Shit.Where are the hospital guards when you need them? "Don't be shy, Lucille." "This is your chance at fame!" "C'mon, just one smile now, please!" they all said at the same time. "Stop! Please stop! Leave me alone!" I shouted but to no avail because they kept flashing their cameras at me. My hands started shaking and my mouth was dry. I fought back my tears, remembering what my dad taught me if I ever find myself in trouble. Don't cry. Don't panic. Focus and think. "Lucille! Over here! Say cheese!" "Hey, what's your comment about Nathan's broken engagement and h
DaydreamsApril 10, 2009LucilleBoo wasn't wrong when he said I would need a lot of energy, because by the time we were done my chest heaved up and down and I was gasping for air. We both leaned on the couch and smiled at each other. I felt great. "Who knew karaoke was so therapeutic?" I said, running my fingers into my messy damp hair. "And a good way to lose calories too." Boo chuckled. After dinner, he told me I could freshen up if I wanted to. He let me borrow his pajamas, so I took a shower in one of the ten guest rooms. His smile reached his eyes when he saw me wearing his navy blue jammies. He took my hand and led me to a sort of game/movie room on the third floor. There were couches, shelves of comic books, two coffee tables, a dart board, a pingpong table, a table soccer and the pacman arcade game. He must be a nerdy sporty geek collector. Boo turned on the tv and picked a song and told me it was dedicated to me. I laughed, but clapped for him. By the time he was done singi
The Past and The Future April 14, 2009 Jasper The few people left in the club were either enjoying a nice conversation at their tables or were sitting alone by the bar, drinks in their hands and faces in a frown. I sat in the farthest stool in the corner minding my brandy, when a good looking woman sat one stool away from me. She smiled at me as the bartender left to make her apple martini and I raised my glass at her. Music filled the room when the band came back from their break and the singer, a young man in his twenties, started singing Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers.The woman snorted. "Excuse me." she said, raising her glass at me. I only smiled at her, not wanting to start a conversation. I looked at my ph
Hot and Cold April 11, 2009 Lucille It was almost 5am, but the sky was still dark when we boarded a huge airplane at JFK. Boo held my hand and sat right next to me in our first class seats. The plane felt creepy because we were the only passengers. “Let me guess, you own this airplane, right? That’s why rich people will always survive if there's a zombie apocalypse.” I asked him impressed with his wealth. In movies and books, tycoons always had their own planes. Boo laughed. “You think I'd survive a zombie apocalypse because I own this plane?” he looked at me, amused that I believe in the posibility of zombies.
Now or Never April 11, 2009 Boo I sang along to Frank Sinatra's Witchcraft when I saw Lucille hot as hell coming down the stairs. Her plunging neckline went deep down to her navel and the halves of her breasts poked out. Wanting to look cool and calm, I popped an olive into my mouth as she caught me staring at her. Lucille seductively smiled. My eyes immediately widened and so did hers when she realized what was happening to me. I bent over, my hands on my throat and I tried my best to cough it out but couldn't. The olive was stuck in my throat. I saw her run to me, grace and poise as she came down the stairs thrown out the window. She wrapped her arms around my upper abdomen and placed her hands just above my navel and pushed it hard. Again and again until I was able to spit t
Epilogue Jasper I backed her up against the kitchen wall and held her chin up to look at me. Her ragged breaths told me she wanted me just as badly. I tasted the tint of oranges from her lips and it reminded me of our first kiss. It was six in the morning when I woke up and she wasn't beside me. I found the kids still sleeping in their nursery and figured Lu was probably preparing breakfast. "If you wanna fuck me, do it now before the little cockblockers wake up." "Shhh I'm still admiring your beauty. This is all mine, you hear me?" I said as I let the straps of her nightgown fall off her shoulders. "Yes, boss." L
Epilogue 2011 Boo The early morning snow made everything outside look like a picture on a Christmas card. I've always hated Christmas ever since Daisy died. But now looking at Nora, DJ and Jessie decorating the huge tree in the living room of our new mansion, I realized it was my favorite holiday again. "Daddy! I need you to lift me up so I can put the star. Please?" DJ called me and interrupted my thoughts. The nine foot tree colourfully glowed, making me miss grandpa who always loved Christmas trees. "Ok, baby. Come here." I held her by the waist and hoisted her up. "Boy, you're getting heavy." "Done." DJ beamed. I put her do
Epilogue 2012 Lucille “Jasper! Get your son out of that mud pit right away!” I shouted as little Aspen kept jumping up and down, splashing mud all over his clothes and face. “He won’t listen to me, Lu. He’s the boss!” Jasper tried pulling Aspen but he sat on the ground. “I’ll show you who’s the Boss. Come here you two!” I shouted at them while I ran. “Ahhhh run Aspen, run! Mommy Monster is coming to eat us.” Jasper and Aspen ran toward the mansion and I shouted for them to stop before they brought mud all over the house. But of course I was too late. Mud was all over the floor. After our two months honeymoon, Jasp
Mr and Mrs Lauder June 5, 2009 Lucille They say true love is something that a few people find once in their lifetime. I was one of the lucky ones. As I danced with my gorgeous billionaire husband, who would walk through fire for me, my heart overfilled with joy. I rested my head on his chest and inhaled his intoxicating perfume. The band played Unforgettable by Nat KingCole and Jasper and I held each other close. “I love you so much, Lu.” “I love you so much, Jas. I can’t believe you planned all these without telling me. Or without me finding out.” “It’s easy when
The Photoshoot June 5, 2009 Lucille Jasper and I drove to a beautiful beach house in the Hamptons for the photoshoot. Two days ago, Steph and Jade came with me to the fitting and they said I looked beautiful. I felt beautiful. The dress was every girl’s dream come true. It showed all the right curves and was just the right amount of puffy. The lace work and real diamonds were to die for. “We're here.” Jasper said, parking the car in a big mansion. “Grandfather’s grandfather helped build this with his own hands. “Wow. That’s amazing. It’s beautiful, Jas.” I got out of the car as he opened the door for me. Ever since that bleeding episode, he has been treating
June 1, 2009 Viva Las Vegas Boo “Holly shit are we in Vegas?” Nora said as she looked out the window. “Yes. Hey. Do you have a boyfriend?” I asked her and she chuckled. “No. Never. Why?” “Have you ever been in love before?” Nora looked at me and didn’t say anything. I was about to ask her again when she suddenly said, “Yes. To a man way older than me. He was a nurse who voluntered at the orphanage. And one day, the day before I turned sixteen, he raped me. I’ve never trusted any man ever since.” “I’m sorry to hear that. Th
It’s a Sign June 1, 2009 Boo Having finished all my work before lunch, I called Nora to come by and bring some food. I gave her one of the company credit cards to spend on anything she wants. So far the record shows she only used it to buy lingeries and our lunch. My phone rang and I cancelled the call once I saw it was Jasper. I was ashamed of my outburst, but I also wasn't ready to apologize. Lucille left me a long email explaining how much she loves me and cares for me, but only as a friend and as part of the family. She told me to find my own happiness even if it meant it was Nora whom she still didn't trust. If the baby is yours, Boo I promise we will tell him/her the truth. Please don't be mad anymore. Lucille's letter somehow ma
A Good Day May 30, 2009 Lucille Dr. Steward put me on bed rest for two days after I got released from the hospital. Jasper and I thought it was better if we stayed in my apartment for a while to avoid Boo, who had been ignoring our chats and calls. “Honey? You okay, Lulu bear?” Grandpa Joe peeked his head through my bedroom. “Come in pops.” I grinned from ear to ear. “What’s up?” “Oh nothing. I only wanted to talk to you before we left for the airport. I’m happy to see you so happy, Lu. You deserve all the best things in life.” “But grandpa, I’ve hurt Boo so much. I sh
Eleanor May 30, 2009 Boo I called her after I left the hospital in a fit of rage and told her to meet me in the same hotel we were before. The bottle of whiskey was empty by the time she arrived an hour later. Nora looked at me with pity in her eyes and I wanted to laugh. I wanted to cry. I hated the nagging ache that drummed with every heartbeat. I hated Lucille and Jasper. “Are you okay?” “I know everything about you. Why didn’t you just tell me what you needed the money for?” “Coz I don’t want to be somebody’s charity case. I can manage on my own.” “By trying to fuck your w
