As promised, David sent me monetary value compensation for his wife's actions. Not only that, he called to apologize for her unruly behavior and name-calling. However, she was far from forgiven. I did a short trip to the store for some items, especially food items, for Anna and I. I also got her the tripod I promised. No doubt she'll be excited when I give it to her. I also got myself a new single chair to replace the old, creaky one. I basically went bonkers at the store. Shopping recklessly because I had no budget at all. It was something I had never done before and it felt absolutely amazing. I headed home first so the couch could be delivered. On the way, I got a message from Rain. He was also on the way to my apartment, but I was going to arrive before him. I started to think about painting his beloved mother in a bad light. I wasn't sure if I could fiddle with him like I fiddled his father, but I was going to tread carefully until I found out. I also had to
"So she fired you simply because we've been seeing each other?!” I didn't think he was going to take it this deeply but it absolutely thrilled me to see him scream in anger. Anger at his mother. I started to work up a smile but it was too soon. I wasn't done yet. I hadn't even started.“Yes,” once again, I looked away from him. "She said you told her about us.” His hands flew off my waist. I could tell he was getting more furious. "I was drunk!” He bellowed regretfully. "I tell her something personal and she goes right ahead to stab me in the back with it!”Watching him express his emotions gave me a burst of confidence. “She went ahead to ban me from visiting the home," I went on in a low whiny voice. “She even called me a whore." At the last word, he flipped. “She did what?" he growled. A low, gravelly, terrifying tone I had never heard him use before.I instantly wished I had not mentioned that. I didn't even realize I had
Our chests rose and fell rhythmically as we heaved, gasping for air. Sex with Rain always left me breathless. He had all the energy his father didn't have, or used to have, stored up in his muscles. Plus he worked out so it was perfect. Anytime I imagined letting him go, I couldn't bear the thought of him in the arms of another, making her sweat and taking her ability to breath. No. I wasn't going to let that happen. The image of all the groceries I bought from the store, on the floor and kitchen counter, sat me up from beside Rain. I also had to visit Anna with the items I got for her. So much to do, but I was so tired. I was burnt out. My jaw ached and my thighs ached. I don't have to say what from, you should know. I felt fingers crawl up my back. My neck lazily swerved to the side, instantly sedated from his touch. My plans of getting up to arrange my apartment were crumpled up and discarded like a worthless piece of paper. I lay back down, catching a glimpse
It was a Saturday. Rain was at the gym with a couple of guys, David had a weekend with his beloved wife's family, one that he strongly expressed his displeasure about having to be part of, and I was on my way to the park, to see Devin. Now before you cuss at me or call me a whore, which doesn't actually change again so go ahead, he called the night before and introduced himself in the most gentlemanly way possible. According to him, he just called to see how I was doing. After a casual conversation laced with a few chuckles here and there, he offered to take me to lunch. I did refuse, at first, but he convinced me that there was no motive behind it. It would be just lunch. A friendly lunch. Plus, my Saturday was going to be spent in my pj's until Rain came so I wasn't doing anything wrong. I stepped out of the cab when it stopped just outside the city's park. Why the park? Because it was open, public, harder to be manipulated into a concocted meaning, that is, if any perso
Devin drove like a maniac to the hospital. I was in a hurry to see Anna but I wanted to do exactly just that, see her, not die in the process. As much as I wanted him to drive a little more carefully, I didn't say a word. I sat in the front seat, completely silent, watching him maneuver his way through the cars on the highway. Many times my heart threatened to jump out of my chest, and even jumped into my mouth, but I swallowed the various heavy lumps in my throat and just sat through it. We finally got to the hospital. He was quick to find a parking space, narrowly missing the bumper of the Toyota parked to the left of the spot he chose. Even if he did hit it, he would have paid for damages on the spot. His parents were rich afterall. I didn't wait for the ignition to go off before jumping out of the car, almost tripping as I sprinted towards the hospital doors. I heard Devin say something behind me but I didn't care enough to turn. I barged through the doors, s
"Raya.”A soft whisper, accompanied by the feeling of a hand gently shaking my right shoulder repeatedly forced my eyes to flutter open. Tired and very reluctantly, I pushed myself up from the couch. I had fallen asleep while waiting for the nurses to bring Anna back to her room. Almost immediately, my eyes dashed to her bed. She was still not there. With a loud sigh, my eyes went to the person standing before me. The person who woke me up. “You look tired and hungry," he said with a smile. “My shift is over, let me buy you dinner." I groaned under my breath. The last thing I wanted to do was leave Anna's room, let alone the entire hospital building and area, but he was right, I was hungry. Very hungry. I guess Anna's doctor was finally going to get that date I had earlier turned down. After a loud sigh, I slowly nodded my head. His smile widened. I pushed myself up from the couch. My legs wobbled a bit, almost throwing me back down. My head th
I sprung up out of the sitting booth as if a bee stung my bottom. The doctor immediately got up, following me with his eyes as I headed towards Rain. I was furious, breathing fire, marching towards him with tightened fists. As I got closer, I noticed the horror in his eyes. “Raya," there was a mixture of shock and what sounded like regret in his voice. “What are you doing here?" he stuttered, looking around at the other people who now had their attention on us. But they were the last thing I cared about. “What am I doing here? What're you doing here?!" my voice was out of control. I knew I was dragging more attention but like I just mentioned, I didn't care. “And with her?!" My hateful eyes darted to Katy who stood awkwardly beside him. She had this unbothered look that bothered me, actually, it made me more agitated. “I…” Rain's purry voice returned my glare to him. "I went to the apartment but you weren't there…”"So your next brigh
Contrary to what you would be thinking, Rain and I did not have sex since he spent the night at my place. We had ice cream while watching a movie on his ipad. In the process, I fell asleep and he let me sleep until the morning. As soon as my eyes opened, I noticed it was bright out and he was also awake. “Good morning beautiful," his deep, soothing, morning voice danced with the air around me. "Tell me you slept well." I rubbed my still sleepy eyes with my index finger. “I think so," I paused to let out a bug yawn. “But I'm still so sleepy." He chuckled when I nuzzled further into him. If I could temporarily attach myself to his side, I would. "What's stopping you from going back to sleep?” I heard him ask after a few minutes of silence. He was now stroking my hair gently. It was always so comforting whenever he did so. “I need to go to Anna." I muffled abstractly, occupied with taking in whiffs of his scent.
