Zayne
I arrive at Sienna’s fifteen minutes later and ring her doorbell. She opens the door with a smile on her face that I couldn’t return.“Done slumming?” she asks, looking too pleased with herself. I step past her into the house, ignoring her insult towards my wom— I exhale sharply, remembering she isn’t mine. I head straight upstairs to Sienna’s room. I don’t want to even think right now. I just want to forget that girl that lives in my house that I can’t have. Once we get to her room, I pull her into my arms and start kissing her while stripping away her clothes. I get off her top, exposing her nude breasts, but as soon as I touch them, Maija’s face pops up in my head. I shake her face from my mind, kissing Sienna harder. I need to forget and move away from this pain, but Sienna pulls away as I pull at her skirt.“Zayne, I want the real thing with you. To date, go to the movies, I want to fall in love. I don’t want just to be your booty call.”“It’s only 5 pm,” I rMaija It has been a week since Zayne’s accident, he was released from the hospital the day after, and since then, my life has been a living nightmare. I can’t get a moment of peace since he’s arrived home. As soon as I pick up a book, his annoying girlfriend finds a reason to bother me and reminds me that he is now her boyfriend. Knock Knock Knock I release an exasperated sigh as the knocking continues on my door. I climb out of bed, annoyed, with the book I’m reading still in my hand. Then, without looking up from my book, I pull the door open. “Maria, my boyfriend would like to take a shower. He needs his shower chair.” I know this bimbo knows my name and where the chair is stored. So why do I need to get it? I roll my eyes and continue reading, ignoring her. “Maria, did you hear me? He needs his….” I grunt and push past her to the
Zayne I hobble out of the kitchen with Sienna’s support, clenching my jaw. “Baby, are you ok?” she asks as we approach the staircase. No, I am not ok. I’m pissed off that punk is kissing the girl I love. However, I can’t tell my girlfriend that I am in love with someone else, and that person is my stepsister who knows how I feel, yet she prances around here with her boyfriend all day. I clench my jaw as I hobble up the stairs. Her lips are irresistible. I scoff; of course, I knew that. I tasted them once and wished I could spend all day just kissing her. But she rejected me and is allowing that punk to kiss her whenever he feels like it. I grunt as the pain settles in my chest. “Are you sure you are ok?” Sienna asks as I make my way into the room and hobble to the bed. I plop down, putting the crutch beside me, and grab my phone. Sienna joins me on the bed, lying on her back as if it is the most natural thing in the world for her to do. When is
Zayne I sit on the sofa in the flat, resting my eyes. My cast was removed today, finally. I was over having to be driven everywhere by my two annoying roommates. Dad bought this three-bedroom last year when I started because I was not interested in sharing a smelly dorm with some frat boy. Quentin and Jade, who I have known since high school, attend Princeton and share the flat. “Yoo,” Quentin shouts as he walks through the door. I sigh. I know he is about to suggest that we go out and get in some trouble tonight. “Your cast is off! Yes, we live! Let’s go drinking tonight.” I frown. Just as expected, he is always down to get into some mess. “Quen, leave him alone. It hasn’t been one day. I am sure he doesn’t want to go booty hunting with you.” I chuckle softly, grateful for Jade trying to get me out of Q’s plans, but I know once Quentin gets an idea, he will not let go of it. “Hell no, we have not been able to go o
Zayne We arrive at the club around ten pm. The vibe is lit, the DJ is spinning well, and I find myself nodding along to the music as we make our way to our usual VIP. We call the waitress over and order a round of shots to start the night off right. “Yo, this is life,” Quentin shouts as we clink our shot glasses together and do another round. “The crowd is decent tonight,” Jade shouts. I nod while nursing my drink and scanning the crowd. “So, are we going to invite women over or what? I love you, Mofos, but I need some pussy tonight.” Quentin declares. “Didn’t you get laid last night?” Jade asks. “So?” We all start laughing. He seriously acts like he will die if he doesn’t have sex every night. Much to our annoyance, because the walls aren’t soundproof, we can hear almost everything he is doing in that room. I sigh. “You can invite your women, but please ensure none of them bother me,” I say as I signal the waitress
Maija Four Hours Earlier I’m sitting in my apartment with my three roommates playing strip poker. Mom found this apartment near campus with three other freshmen. Kenya, an African American beauty, Santana, a spicy Latina, and Samantha, a cute brunette. After the first week, we all became fast friends. We're sitting at the dining table surrounded by food, liquor, and pieces of clothing from our past games. “How did I get roped into playing strip poker again?” Kenya asks as we look at our hands. She is sitting in her underwear with no bra; she is terrible at this game. On the other hand, I
MaijaI’m lying in bed with my head on Danuel’s chest. He has been visiting more frequently since our trip to Princeton. His presence is a nice distraction from Zayne and my broken heart, so I'm happy whenever he is here. I still haven’t told anyone about seeing Zayne kissing that girl that night. I know they would all want to talk about it, and I really do not want to relive the memory of that kiss with my friends while my heart breaks again. Still, Zayne seems happy, and that is all I hope for the person I love, for him to be happy with whoever he is with, even if it is not me. I bite my lip as the pain slowly washes over me.“Babe, why are you always in your head?” Danuel’s voice pulls me from my thoughts and thoughts.“Huh?” I glance at him. He frowns, and I can see that he is worried about me while I'm here thinking about someone who isn’t thinking a
Zayne“Squad one, cover me; I’m going in,” I shout into my headset as I press my controller. I am in my room playing video games, which has become my new obsession. “Someone’s shooting me. Dylan covers me.” My door flies open. I furrow my brows as Jade marches in. “Dude, what?” He storms past me and unplugs the T.V “What the fuck, Jade?” “You haven’t showered in three days.” “That doesn’t give you the right to come in here and unplug my shit. Like what the hell, man?” “It does when the smell is seeping into the hallways. Go take a shower!” he yells. “No, get out!” I yell back at him and lie in my bed, closing my eyes. “Smelling like ass won’t make Maija call you.” My eyes shoot open. How dare he mention her to me. I jump up from the bed and glared at him. “Don’t mention her fucking name to me.” “So, she came and didn’t tell you, it’s not the end of the world, Z.” “Shut up!
Maija I’m standing in the bathroom with my friends after they dragged me in here because we all saw Zayne making out with that girl. I sigh as I prepare for the interrogation that is about to happen. “Is that the Sienna bitch?” Santana asks. I shake my head. “Then who is that bitch,” she says again. “I don’t know,” I mumble weakly as I try to hold back the tears. “We should beat him up,” Kenya says, which makes me smile for the first time since seeing them together. “He can date who he wants since I’m with Danuel. So it’s hardly fair for me to expect him to stay single.” “He could have at least taken a breather between bitches. As soon as he dumps one, he gets another,” Santana mumbles, which makes me laugh. They are ridiculous, but I know it is because they love me. “He is a man. That is what men do. They move on.” I want to end this conversation so we can get back to pa
Forty minutes later, I head back to the car after failing to convince her to marry me for a second time.“Sir!” He greets me with a smile, but he nods and opens the car door when he sees my face. I sigh as I slip in. I thought she would say yes. I thought she would change her mind if I told her I would put off my trip, but she didn’t. Nothing changed in the last hour since we parted for the same reasons. Reasons I can’t understand. I know we’re from different backgrounds regarding money, but that shouldn’t matter. What should matter is that we love each other, but maybe she doesn’t feel how I do. Although she agreed to see me again and promised to accept my calls, it still feels like I could lose her. Hector pulls off as I watch the doors, hoping that she’ll run out to me but knowing it won’t happen.****I listen to the team go over the quarterly profits, but I can’t focus because Carolyn is all I can
His driver leaves me at the airport, and I check my bag and have a seat. As I wait for the flight, my mind keeps drifting back to the last 24 hours, which was crazy, from the lobby fight to sharing a hotel room with him, the casino. I can’t believe I won a hundred grand and almost lost that much. I chuckle and close my eyes. It was indeed a night to remember.Buzz, buzz.My phone vibrates. I pull my phone from my pocket and smile when I see it’s a text from Maija.“Hey, mom, are you on your way back?” Why is she up? I wonder as I call her. “Hey, mom.” She says after she picks up.“Hey sweetie, shouldn’t you be sleeping?”“I just woke up….”“Maija Cesar, I told you, parents die a little each time their children lie.” She sighs.“Okay, okay. I was up all night reading.” As usual, she had never seen a book she wouldn&rs
Carolyn3:25 am“Marry me…” His question stuns me. Did I hear him correctly? He asked me to marry him. But surely he’s joking.I chuckle. “Charles, that’s not funny.”“Cary, I’m not joking. I’m serious; let’s get married.” My eyes open wide. He’s serious. What? My body heats as my heart pounds in my chest. He wants to marry me. Why? Right, he just told me he loves me. Do I love him? I like him. I like him so much that I want to see him past tonight, but marriage? We just met. “Carolyn, Carolyn.”“Huh?” His voice pulls me from my thoughts.“Are you okay?” I look at his warm eyes and nod.“I know you’re a little shocked. I would be too.” He says as he takes my hand and kisses it.“But I know, just like I knew with my first wife.”“But we just met; you probably knew her longer than a day
Charles1:30 a.m“Stop the car here.” Carolyn suddenly says.“Here?”“Yeah, let’s walk the rest of the way. It should be close by.”“The place you’re taking me.”“Yup.”“Okay, Barney, pull over. We’re getting out here.” Carolyn grins at me as the car comes to a stop.“Let’s go.” She grabs my hand and pulls me from the car as she bounces with excitement. She is so vibrant and full of life that it makes me feel like I’m twenty again whenever we’re together. I hope we can extend it past this weekend, but it will be up to her.“What are you thinking about?” She says. I lift her hand to my mouth and kiss it before replying.“You’re the only thing that’s been on my mind since six this morning.” A little shy, she turns her face straight ahead bu
Carolyn11:00 pmStill giddy from our trick on Paul, Charles, and I head to the limo, laughing.“Thank you for that,” I say as we slip in.“No need to thank me. That asshole deserved a punch."“Well, thank you anyway for not punching him and egging him in my honor,” I say as I brush my lips against his.“I’ll egg anyone for you.” I chuckle before pressing my lips on his. Feeling the heat flow through my body as the kiss grows more profound. I sigh as our lips part. I really could get used to kissing him every day.“I think I’m becoming addicted to your kisses.” He says as if reading my thoughts. Sometimes the things he says lead me to believe we may have a future, and other times it’s the opposite.“Is it a serious addiction?” I ask.“Oh, so serious. I may go crazy if I go too long without tastin
Charles9:30 pmCarolyn wraps her hands around my neck, pressing her lips against me. I groan as I thrust harder and faster. I feel her tightening, signaling she is about to reach her peak for the fifth time tonight.“Charles.” she moans my name softly once the kiss breaks. Her soft moans send me into a frenzy as my need grows deeper. I thrust harder and harder, capturing her lips again. I slip my hand between our bodies to find her pearl. I massage it as my hips move faster and faster until my climax rocks through me. I grunt as I feel her tightening on my tool as if it’s trying to squeeze out every drop of my love juice. Finally, she grabs my butt and sinks me deeper into her as we blissfully come down from our high.“That was amazing.” She says between breaths as I roll over on my back. I take her hand and kiss it.“It’s the best sex I’ve had in years,” I reply, still p
Carolyn 8:30 pm I take another sip of my champagne and roll my eyes as everyone laughs at another one of Greg’s jokes. I am trying not to be a spoilsport, but as a dentist, I have heard them all before, and so has everyone else at the table. However, Greg is one of the sweetest human beings you will ever meet, so we tend to humor him a lot when he tells these jokes, “I swear I have the funniest patients.” He says between bouts of chuckles. I exhale sharply and glance at my watch. It’s been an hour and a half since I left Charles to come to this dinner, and I have been regretting every second I'm here and not in his arms. And even though I called the front desk and informed him, I would be a little later than expected. I want this dinner to end soon, so we can pick up where we left off. I stick the last bite of my light salad in my mouth and swallow. I glance at everyo
My heartbeat pounds against my eardrums as he approaches. My entire body is aware of every step as I wait to be wrapped up in his arms. I want this, him. I want him to press up against one of these walls and take me. But I can’t help but think logically. I shouldn’t do this. I shouldn’t give in to these urges like some young girl experiencing her first crush. I should stop and head to my room, shut the door, and stay there until it’s time to leave. I should—all of those thoughts float away as he crushes his lips. All doubt floats away as he pulls me close, kiss with so much need and desire I can’t help matching his intensity. His tongue demands entrance in my mouth, and I give in. He pulled me tighter, the kiss getting more profound. I melt into his arms. I can’t remember the last time a man touched me like this. Sure, I’ve had a few dates since my husband’s passing, but it was never anything special. The is kiss alone I will never forg
Carolyn11:00 a.m.I roll over as the sound of the alarm sounds at 11:00 am. Eyes heavy with sleep, I press the snooze button for five more minutes. Then, what feels like a minute later, the alarm goes off again. I open my eyes slowly, stretching as prepared to begin my day. Even though my sleep was short, it was adequate, especially since the bed was so comfortable. I must thank Mr. Klein for his hospitality. My pulse quickens as his face flashes in my head. Although it’s been a while since I have been this attracted to a man. My body was acting strange as if I was a schoolgirl with a crush.I probably am just overreacting. I mean, he is gorgeous, but being alone with him is perhaps making it more exciting than it is. I am sure once I leave and head back to my world and my daughter. I will never think of him again. I feel a little down at the thought of never seeing him again. But I can’t understand t
