ARIA'S POV;

The evening air was heavy with the scent of raw food and worn-out silence. I sat at the counter, nursing a bowl of cornflakes, my eyes fixed on the blank wall ahead. My mind, however, was elsewhere, replaying the challenging encounter with Caroline and Ronald earlier that day. The way she had smiled, the way she had laughed, it all seemed so fake, so forced. I couldn't help but wonder what she was really after. Was it just about the rejection or the fact that she felt something was going on between Ronald and I?

As I sat there, lost in thought, the sound of the door creaking open broke the spell. I turned to see my said uncle, Ronald, stumble into the kitchen. His eyes were glassy, his hair disheveled, and his smile lopsided. He was drunk, and I could tell it was going to be one of those nights I never thought I'd see. His cheeks were a painted shade of red that made him look funny, yet cute.

I didn't say a word, hoping he'd just grab a glass of water and stumble off to

  • My uncle, My mate   Seeking freedom

    ARIA'S POV; The next morning, I was pumped up and ready to follow the map I had come up with before sleep took me to rest. Unfortunately for me, the kiss with Ronald last night had made it impossible for me to get the sleep I deserved and left me with the option of staring into blankness until my eyes couldn't keep up anymore. "I'm going out," I said to Caroline that morning before leaving the house. Not only was I awkward about being with her after I was almost caught last night, but I still wasn't pleased about her presence here. "Once I get a job, all of this would be over," were the words I used to console myself, feeling pumped to start seeking jobs I could do. Thirty minutes outside and I was starting to regret my decision. The various shops I had gone to claim not to be seeking workers and yet, they'd hire a lady with smaller chest than mine. It was true that my front side was bigger than the average women's size. As a result of this, it had been hard to see

  • My uncle, My mate   The new club

    ARIA'S POV; "Are you going to keep staring at my boyfriend?" I hadn't realised Esmeralda was right behind me not until she spoke harshly. In the few minutes I had previously gotten to know, I had easily realised she wasn't someone with the kind of character I'd enjoy. The moment I stared at her, I could see daggers flying from her eyes, straight at me and only if it were real, I'd have been long dead by now. Even after hearing the grunts of pain behind me, I paid it no heed, refusing to be the one to break the stare between us. It was hilarious seeing as she was so prickly when the best she could have done was to not do anything. "Are you just going to keep acting like a b*tch everytime we meet?" This question slipped past my mouth, leaving me with no chance to stop it. Judging by Esmeralda's reaction, she had also been caught off guard. Her mouth went open and then closed repeatedly, raising a shaky index finger at me as she said helplessly, "You...you!" "How m

  • My uncle, My mate   Z club

    Ronald's POV; Every attempt at convincing myself that the kiss I had with Aria last night in the kitchen was a mistake had come to nothing but a total failure. The feeling of her soft lips on mine, with our tongues clashing, together with the warmth of her mouth only made me hard every second I thought about her. Staring down at the pile of scripts in front of me, I sighed for the hundredth time upon seeing the scribbled lines on it. A small crack and I stared at the broken pen in my hand, reminding myself of why I had to endure all of this once again. "You said you were going to join me for lunch but instead, you buried yourself in this office since the morning," Caroline's accusal finally had me raising my head after hours of burying my face in documents I still wasn't able to go through. Taking a quick look at the window, I marveled at how fast it had gotten dark. The subtle click of heels hitting the floor drew my attention back to Caroline again, only to see sh

  • My uncle, My mate   The interruption

    ARIA'S POV; "It's okay, I don't bite," finally, the weirdo Damien had taken me to sit with at the corner finally spoke after minutes of us both staring at each other. I didn't know what it was but there was something off about the bald man in front of me. He gave off this weird vibe that seemed to tell me to run away from me and at that moment, it was clear, I didn't want to be here. But yet, here I was, sitting stuck up beside Damien who looked more relaxed with his legs crossed on the table. Since the moment he had stepped into the club with my hand in his, I didn't fail to notice how the gazes of everyone had subtly turned to us. It was scary and at the same time pleasing. "You sure do look like you're about to take a bite from her if she does speak," Damien answered for me, causing the strange man to chuckle. Together with the sound he made, there was the great warning once again for me to stay away from him. I let out a small laugh, avoiding eye contact with

  • My uncle, My mate   Hasty decisions

    ARIA'S POV; "Didn't you hear her? The lady said you should let her go." Now on his feet, Damien faced Ronald, with me in between them or more like in Ronald's arms, struggling to break free. I was glad Damien had chose not to say anything about Caroline's interruption, ignoring her as he should and from the vibes I was getting from her, she was greatly displeased by this. In Ronald's moment of surprise at Damien's confrontation, I took the opportunity to struggle out of his arms, immediately standing beside Damien, ready to stand my ground. Once again, I was glad for the loud music and drunken people in the club but there were still a few of them who were paying attention to us, or more like Ronald. His presence was hard to ignore and even before he had interrupted us, I managed to notice the drastic change in ambience in the club. It wasn't until he spoke up did I realise he was the one. The thought that he had come to this club together with Caroline, no doubt to

  • My uncle, My mate   The disappointment after

    ARIA'S POV;Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and true to Rover's words, I was finally hired as a waitress in his club.With him being the manager and the owner of the club kept a secret, it was safe for everyone to address him as the one in charge of Z club. Ever since that night, I hadn't set my eyes on Ronald or even felt his presence. Repeatedly, I found myself almost going to ask Caroline but each reminder that I was going to leave here and finally throw aside these little feelings I was having for him stopped me from making such decisions. My phone buzzed, signaling the arrival of a text. Subtly, I threw a quick glance at the old female lecturer presently teaching, before picking up my phone. With a quick swipe of my fingers, I read the text from Rover that was just a reminder of the job I had taken on. Tonight was going to be the night I signed the contract and also the first day of my waitress job. Like Rover had also said, after my quick talk with him regarding

  • My uncle, My mate   Jinx

    ARIA'S POV; "Over here!" A yell from the table at the corner of the club had me weaving my way through the crowd of drunk people. Anyone that dared to say being a waitress in a club was easy lied. I managed to clean the sweat on my face before it ruined my vision, hastily approaching the table that had called for me. "Here is your order. A martini and the rest of your orders," in a chirpy voice like I had practiced so many times, I set the tray of drinks on the table, smiling as best as I could. I gave a small nod, ready to leave but a hand wrapped around my wrist, stopping me. I turned behind to see one of the men who had been quiet since his group had gotten here. Every plan at cussing out the man who had dared to stop me immediately died down. Out of all his friends, he had been the most quiet one, not even telling me his order. "How may I help you? Is there anything else you need?" As gently as I could, I asked. Meanwhile, I didn't stop to indicate with my eyes

  • My uncle, My mate    A dangerous game

    ARIA'S POV; I've always had a thing with laying on the bed and then closing my eyes, fully aware of my surroundings. As best as I could, it was a coping mechanism of shutting myself out from the things I had to face after waking. The smell of disinfectant and drugs hadn't been familiar since the past month when I didn't have to visit my father in the hospital again. I let my eyes remain closed, only letting my ears do the work of figuring out our surroundings and my nose also do a bit of work. Aside the strong smell of disinfectant, there was the scent of Ronald. My stomach flipped just strong fingers I knew belonged to him gently squeezed mine. The last time I had seen him was when he had waved me off to the club and Caroline asking him about an adoption he was yet to tell her. Curious as to what he was going to say while I pretended to be asleep, I laid unmoving, letting his hand squeeze mine in reassurance while trying not to react to the spark between us. There

  • My uncle, My mate   Occurrences

    ARIA'S POV; " Please, can we talk later? Do you promise to call me so we can talk? I'm so sorry about yesterday. I didn't know anything about those things that happened," another string of Damien's apology filtered into my ears for the tenth time that morning. Sleep had been so far from me throughout the night and sharing a room with my mother hadn't been pleasant due to her insistence on trying to get me to talk to her. At times like this, I wondered if she was being inconsiderate and not even giving me time to think about the shocking information I had only gotten to know about yesterday. As I made my way out of Damien's mansion with my luggage in tow, and only one place in mind for me to head to, I ignored Damien who kept trying to talk to me. Call me petty but knowing his parents had a hand in the misfortune of my father and if worse, his miserable death was all shades of angering. Knowing I'd possibly have no choice but to listen to him sooner or later or have hi

  • My uncle, My mate   The now

    ARIA'S POV; I stepped into Damien's room, feeling a mix of nerves and anticipation. Every bit of confidence I had before stepping into his home crumpled in an instant. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was determined to learn. Damien closed the door behind me and gestured to the pole in the center of the room. "Okay, first things first, we need to get you comfortable with the pole." I was glad there was no form of talk or awkward discussion and we were just going to get right into it. I nodded, my eyes fixed on the shiny metal rod. Damien walked over to me and handed me a pair of high heels. "Put these on. You'll need to get used to dancing in them." I took the shoes and slipped them on, feeling the familiar click of the heels on the floor. Damien nodded in approval. "Good. Now, let's start with some basic moves." I was glad I had chosen to put on a trouser and a crop top before coming here and to avoid me being in an awkward situation. I pulled off my jacket, handin

  • My uncle, My mate   Squeaky

    Aria's pov; "Look me in the eyes and say all you just said now and I promise I'd let you go and would never appear in your sight again," said Ronald, tightening his hand around while but the seriousness in his voice and the air being thick with tension was the only thing that reminded me not to push this further than I already have. I didn't have to turn to look at him to know he was dead serious and this itself was like being monitored and my hands being tied together, unable to do a thing. "Aria, look me in the eyes and say all you just said again and I swear it, I'll let you go," said Ronald for the second time in all seriousness. My hand which I was just about to pull out of his remained frozen, different thoughts and scenarios running through my head. There were only two ways to this thing. If I truly wanted him out of my life and only claimed him to be a buyer, then by all means, I ought to let him go. Instead, I couldn't find myself doing that and it was as if I co

  • My uncle, My mate   £ric

    ARIA'S POV;I walked through the school gates, feeling a mix of emotions. It happened to be my first day back after the accident, and I was nervous about seeing everyone again, not knowing whether the news had spread already.My mind went back to the brief meeting I had with the dean of my faculty earlier this morning. It was a letter reminding me about the part of my tuition fee I had to pay. “Aria Marblemaw, opportunities like this are rare. So, I suggest you try to meet up as best as you can. The college has helped you enough to the best of its abilities and now, you'll have to do the same,” the dean had said to me and every one of her words hit a certain part of me that had pushed me into picking this college and coming here in the first place, far away from home. Thankfully, my mother had gone back home, leaving me to continue my job back at the club but unlike before where the profit had seemed enough, now, I became aware of how behind I was. As I made my way to my lecture ha

  • My uncle, My mate   Alert

    KHALEESI’S POV; Darkness slowly carried me and I willingly let it, too weak to fight against it. Shadows floated above me and I fought for my consciousness, hoping to bring myself out of whatever state this was. Forcing my eyes open, I closed them back immediately, trying to get used to the sudden brightness that almost blinded me. I forced them open again, only to see shadows swimming at the edges of my vision, their hands stretching out to me as if asking me to come. Their hands were spread out towards me, inviting me and immediately, I tried to force my eyes open. “Ah!” With a loud gasp, i sat up on the bed, my eyes flew open, my back cold with sweat and a creepy feeling crawling up my spine. The cold that slowly washed over me was none like no other and the odd scent of burning wood happened to wake my senses. Staring around me, the first thing that came in sight was a small traditional pot with a small fire burning at the middle. Slowly, I let my eyes roam towards the

  • My uncle, My mate   Same one

    Aria's pov; If you were to ask me years back that how did I picture how my first time making live was going to be, then I was ready to tell you a lengthy story about it. I was prepared to even given out details that were never true but I hoped was going to come true. Each and everytime I had painted images in my head, there happened to be a point where a gentle tweak was going to happen and there after, there was a possibility of everything changing, like a whole new scene. As I sat back on the recliner chair, thinking about the past of the thoughts I had back then when I had no idea that things like this wasn't going to happen, a smile spread on my face just thinking about it. What had I pictured my first time with my lover was going to be? At that period, most ladies my age had all had their fair share of what sex was but yet, there I was, in a whole new fantasy of mine. I had prioritized having these thoughts over going out to experience them myself and then Cole came

  • My uncle, My mate   So much pain

    Aria's POV; Today was supposed to be my father's burial, where I was supposed to peacefully lay him to rest without any worry but instead, my mind was more on something else. Deep down, I was curious as to how none of my father's relatives had been introduced to me up until his death. A sudden flash of the adoption documents I had accidentally found in my father's drawer came into my mind. Was he adopted? Is that why I haven't seen any of his relatives? Every attempt to ask my mother had been futile since she was still in mourning, finding it hard to cope with the loss of her husband. “Are you going to be fine? You only just entered college, and now, you have to bear this brunt and carry this on your shoulder,” one of the neighboring people I've always known said with a small squeeze on my shoulder. She bent a bit, seeing as I was a few inches taller than her, before taking my hand into hers. Staring into her watery eyes, once again, the bitterness and pain I had be
