It didn't take too long before Manuel returned with his mother. Vector stayed put, but I immediately stood up to greet her. Her eyes widened as she took in the mansion, her eyes darting between us and the undeniably breathtaking architecture of Vector's home."This is..." she slowly turned to Manuel. "Your home?"He started to shake his head, but Vector slowly stood up. "This is our home, and that includes you."I smiled, my eyes twinkling. She reached her hand to cup Vector's cheeks, and if I hadn't done way worse, it would have astonished me just how cite he looked in that moment.People who never got too close to him would probably disagree with me, but they haven't seen him the way that I have. They don't know Vector, the Vector that blushes at being called boyfriend, they don't know that Vector."I am about to be the favourite son, Manuel. Watch out."Manuel broke into a laugh, and my eyes met Hillary's as she shared off at him, seemingly lost in his smile. It made me remember th
I took a quick shower, then wrapped a robe around me, just as a knock came on the door. I had stepped out of the shower when Hillary came running in, followed by corporately dressed women. A few held some boxes, and the first one gave me a vibrant smile as they closed the door behind them."I heard you are getting a makeover," Hillary squealed, laughing. "I want to watch."I gave a small smile, then nodded, and I dropped the towel that was on my head, then headed towards the dresser. I saw as the girls came behind me, and I took a deep breath.I took the seat, my eyes fixed on my reflection in the mirror. I could see Hilllary behind me curiously peeking over everything they were bringing out while the girls focused on the different boxes they each had. Hillary looked so happy that I felt guilty for the fact that I wouldn't be going with her."Would you like a bit of dye in your hair?"I bit down on my lips. I have never thought of dying my hair. "Just the edges, maybe? The very tips,
"It is nice to meet you, mum."Vector smiled, his fingers tightening around mine. "I will keep her happy. That is all you ever wanted. For me to find a pretty girl and keep her happy. I found way more than that in Red, and I would do way more than you ever expected. That is a promise between us three. I do hate that you are not here, but I hope you are happy. I hope you are really in a bettet place like they all say."A single tear ran down my left cheek, and I wrapped my hand around him, my eyes closing, the slow breeze sifting through my hair. He said nothing and slowly leaned forward, placing the rose on her grave.Vector slowly moved away, then let out a small breath, his eyes low. For a few minutes, he dud nothing but watch her grave, emotions passing rapidly in his eyes. "Let's go," he said, then held my hand again.We turned away from the grave and slowly walked away, the sunset behind us, hopefully keeping her company.Vector helped me back into the car, and he got im behind m
"Alvin?" I said, my voice cracking a little. I turned around, and Vector was nowhere in sight. I slowly turned back to Alvin, and he had a small smile on his face now. Slowly, he let go of my hair, then walked around to sit opposite me, his smile small as he met my eyes."It has been a very long while, huh?""What are you doing here?""Oh, please. Red, I told you I would be here. Things between us.. ""We have nothing between us. There is, in fact, no us. You and I are.. "He suddenly leaned to me, his right elbow resting on the table, his other hand gently covering my lips."We have a lot between us, sweetie. And...." He let his eyes slowly skim down my body. "You look exquisite in that dress.""Take your eyes off me."He sighed. "Hurts, Red. Before that bastard Vector came between us, you went around in those tight jeans in order to seduce me.""I never did that!" I said, my voice rising, my eyes wide. He only smiled, shaking his head. He picked up his glass and then gave me anothe
My eyes slowly closed against Vector's lips, and I sighed, my fists immediately relaxing against his chest. I slowly spread out my fingers, then slowly wrapped them around his collar, my back arching closer to him.He let his fingers gently cup the small of my back, and I gave a small gasp in his mouth, my eyes opening as I gently reluctantly broke the kiss.I started to move away, but he shook his head, his hand hardening against my back, then brought me closer to him, his face nuzzling in the depth of my neck."Let's not stop tonight."The offer caused my stomach to churn, and I swallowed, my eyes darting slowly against his. My tears stood right at the bottom of my eyes, and Vector slowly brought his hand to adjust mine, gently wrapping it over his shoulder. I closed my eyes as he leaned forward and slowly kissed my tears away, his fingers gently caressing my cheeks."I hate those tears in your eyes, Red. More than I hate that bastard Alvin for even trying to touch you. For lying to
My eyes fluttered open, and I turned towards the window. It was a new day, and I remember needing for last night to not end. I sighed, sitting up, so the sheets Vector had placed on me fell away, my body slowly taking on the light of the sun.I closed my eyes, my head tilting slowly backwards, a snile lifting my lips. I felt liberated. Like a woman. I felt loved. Like a flower. I felt delicate. Like the vase that held me.Suddenly, I felt Vector's lips slowly kiss my shoulder, and I turned to him, my smile brightening as my eyes opened to meet his.He had a dark, sleepy undertone in his forever aesthetic eyes, and I gently cupped his face."Good morning," he whispered, then leaned closer, kissing his way down my arm.I laughed but left his face to let my fingers slowly bury in the silky depth of his hair. He kissed my face, then my neck slowly, his hands catering my bare thigh."You are exquisite, my love. God, you are exquisite."I smiled as he moved to kiss my lips, but just before
Vector was now asleep, and we had both graciously lost track of time. I watched him, my eyes filling in on the little details of his face, the beautiful red flush of his skin, the perfect colour of desire etched on his face.I sighed, a smile lifting my lips. Nothing has felt better than his pleasure. The light moans, the way he struggled to not take control so I could have what I wanted, and the way he still made sure to take care of me.I leaned and kissed his forehead, then got out of bed. Hillary and Manuel must be worried right now with the way we had both returned from the party last night, but honestly, I didn't want to bother much about either of them. I had Vector here, and honestly, he was more than enough. I got into the shower, opting to leave the bath for today. I stood under the water, my head tilting upwards towards the water as it pelted down on me. I sighed, my hands going into my hair, my body relaxing under the luke warm water.My thoughts wandered, and I thought b
I was sore when I woke up, but quite positively sore. All of my body carried the signs, marks, and pleasurable pain of desire and ecstasy, and honestly, I did not mind it at all.I gave a sigh, my eyes fluttering open. Vector, surprisingly, was up, his eyes fixed on mine."Good morning," I murmured, laughing a little. He gave a small smile, then kissed my forehead."We spent the weekend in bed.""Do you regret it?" I said with a laugh.He shook his head. "Maybe. I regret that the weekend isn't longer."I rolled my eyes and gave a small chuckle, then started to get out of bed. As I expected, however, Sin held me back, his eyes holding me as he slowly got me back to bed. I sighed, letting him pull me back, my hand adjusting the sheers around him."What do you want, Sir?""Is it wrong to want to stay here for a while longer?"I shrugged. "Are you going to stay home with me, then?"He laughed. "Is that what my lady wants?""Maybe I am just as clingy as you are.""I honestly don't mind. Cl
Vector was in bed, and I slowly leaned to him, my lips gently kissing his forehead. He gave a small smile and turned to me, his eyes slowly meeting mine."Aren't you going out today?"He shook his head. "She called me dada. She obviously wants me to stay home."I broke into a laugh. "That little traitor. Betraying me like that."He pulled me in. "I could call you baby whenever you want."I broke into a laugh, my eyes darting to the sleeping child. She was just six months old, and she was closer to Vector than ever. She even took after his beautiful, different colored eyes, and I was convinced that my genes hadn't even tried at all.I kissed his forehead again, then smiled. "Everyone is coming for dinner today. Get ready, okay?""Yes, ma'am."I broke into a smile, stealing one more kiss from him, before I walked away. We spent the evening downstairs with everyone. Dad, who was more than excited to be a grandfather and was even taking lessons, Rose, who took every chance to touch Victor
I woke up naked in bed, and Vector wasn't by my side either. I turned, my eyes squinting, my chest heaving as I took the room in. There was no sign of the shower. I turned to my left, and a bouquet of roses was sitting there, with a letter hanging out from it. I broke into a smile, then sat up, grabbing the letter, a smile lighting up my lips."Come meet me in the below address in an hour. I love you."My brows furrowed as I looked down at the address, my chest heaving. I jumped out of bed, then swiftly went to the shower. I checked the time on my phone. I hadn't realized it was past twelve already, but anyone would understand how much I needed my first worry free sleep in so long. In forever. Slowly, I chose a dress, then put my hair up in a ponytail. It was a cute, flowery sun dress, and I twirled around in it for a bit, my smile big.Manuel was waiting in the car when I got down, and something about his smile made me feel like he knew what was going on but simply won't tell me.I
I wrapped Vector's jacket around me as the doctor gave us instructions to take care of the wound. Vector nodded slowly, but his eyes held mine, and I wondered if he ever actually did listen to the doctor. Manuel followed the doctor and finished with the remaining discharge processes, and I stayed back with Vector, who was finally falling asleep, fatigue, lack of sleep, and the pain catching up with him."We can go now," Manuel announced, coming up to us. I went to Vector's side, then wrapped his arm around me, while Manuel did the same to his left. That way, we got him out of the hospital and to the car. I got in the back with him, then gently adjusted him to lie on my lap, my fingers slowly pushing through his hair, my smile small.He was now weak, and it didn't take him long to fall asleep, his eyes closing gradually. I leaned to kiss his forehead, and he gave a weak smile before he finally fell asleep. The ride this time was slow, and I actually got to breathe. I watched the sig
Manuel cut through the teeming traffic as he drove us at top speed to the hospital. My heart was in my throat by the time we got to the hospital, my eyes darting fearfully between the outside environment and Vector, who was now motionless.Manuel got out, then came around and opened the door. I got out first, and he leaned, then slowly brought Vector out of the car. I ran to support him, and we walked into the hospital with Vector between us.They immediately brought a stroller, and we lay Vector on it. We followed behind them as they wheeled him to the operating room."It appears to be a gunshot wound, " one of the doctors said, adjusting his gloves. "Do you have a police report?"I swallowed. Tears were running down my cheeks now, and I wasn't even sure how to control it. They wanted to wait another ten minutes to bring that man to give a police report even when my Vector wasn't even moving anymore?I turned. Vector's gun was still in my hand, and I sucked in a deep breath, my eyes
I gasped as Vector gave a small smile, his eyes darkening as he got progressively angrier. Slowly, he cracked his gun, then slowly moved Don Lucian's head, his voice low with a murderous darkness behind it. "Let's try, then.""Vector," I said, but before the word could get out of my mouth, a van I recognized drove into the port and then parked. I turned, just as my real father was brought out at gun point, his eyes wide, his hands brought up in a surrender."Dad!" I screamed, and it distracted Vector momentarily, causing Don Lucian to swing for the chance he got.He immediately grabbed me by the neck, forcing me to his body, a wicked laugh escaping his lips, his eyes thin with evil."You fool, you really thought you could outsmart me? How about living the rest of your life like that bastard pining for your Rose?""Red," Vector said, his eyes wide. I could immediately see his resolve weakening, fear flashing in his eyes. Manuel ran out, his chest heaving. "Don't shoot!"Vector blinke
I nodded, my breath hitching in my throat. The cars stopped, and for a short while, no one came out of them. I held my breath, then turned to Vector, whose eyes were thin now, his fingers clasped into each other.Slowly, the first car opened, and I watched as Don Lucian walked out of the car, his eyes thin. His eyes took in the port before it landed on Jonas' dead body.He looked up, and in the blink of an eye, the other cars he had come with opened up, armed men trooping out immediately, surrounding us.Vector gave a small chuckle, his eyes becoming a lot thinner. I know what that meant. He was getting even angrier."Deploy the men," Vector said, and I watched as the place was slowly covered by even more men, armed to the core, their guns aimed towards Don Lucian's men.Don Lucian looked cornered, his eyes wide and filled with rage. Manuel slowly came out of his car, his gun held tight and ready to shoot."Have you missed us? Don?"Don Lucian met Manuel's eyes, and he swallowed, clen
The ride was silent, and Vector called once to make sure I was on my way. He spoke to the driver, and I leaned back, my chest heaving. All of it was so nerve-wracking, and I needed to see the end to this. Has there been some sort of change in plans? Was there some sort of problem?Suddenly, the car stopped. I turned around, and Vector's car was parked by the aide. My eyes thinned as I watched the car. Slowly, he rolled down the glass, and Vector's face slowly came into view.He had a small smile and a cigar between his lips, his eyes dark. I broke into a smile and went out of the car, without waiting for him to come to me.I went into the car, and he broke into a laugh as I lunged myself into him, smile big, my chest heaving hard. He wrapped his hands around me, his lips blessing every inch of my skin available to him. My face, my lips, my neck, my shoulders, the tops of my breasts, my fingers, my arms.I guess he felt the same emptiness I had all night long."Fuck, I missed you," he
I lay in bed, my eyes watching the bright chandelier. I had lost track of time, and I just lay there. Halfway across the city to Vector, and another part of me just laying here, waiting for something, anything. Needing something to tell me that Vector was okay.A knock came on my door, and I turned to it, my eyes slowly blinking. Hillary poked her head in, then gave me a small smile as she caught my eyes."I thought you would be alone. Manuel told me they were leaving."I nodded, then slowly sat up. My phone was lying on the bedside drawer, and I sighed, watching it. There was nothing."Are you okay?"I nodded slowly. "You?""Ibam fine. Could you lend me one of your clothes, please? We are the same size and I really need to go somewhere."I nodded, forcing myself to sit up, my chest slightly heaving. I got out of bed, then slowly led her to the wardrobe. I let her choose, and she picked the simplest one, just something that looked rather plain."Is that really what you want?" I asked,
Vector closed the door and turned back to me, a small smile on his face. He leaned to me, his fingers gently massaging my scalp. "You should rest. I will be back."I shook my head, sitting up, my chest slightly heaving. "I will dress up and come downstairs. This involves me as much as it does you."He nodded, kissing me hard, his grip on my face almost desperate. He pulled away, then kissed around my face again, his eyes closed.I could hear the silent prayer in those kisses. I could tell he was nervous. He never really was, but now, because I was there, because I was a weakness, he had no other option.He was scared, just as I was. This could go either way, and this story could end with me losing him. This story could come to an end with me standing above him. I would hate for that to happen.I got out of bed, then slowly dressed up in comfortable shorts and a large sweatshirt. Soon enough, we went downstairs where Manuel was, with a group of armed men.His eyes were thin, and ever
