STRAW BAG ON BEACH SAND
Putting her hat back on, she picked her cappuccino and dropped a dollar note on the table. She arrived in Florida two days ago and because of her never ending curiosity, she'd already seen almost half of the city and now has hundreds of pictures in her camera. The trip was going to last for just three days and she has already taken every picture she needed. Photography was just an hobby but eversince she got her camera, she started making money out of it. Kimberlee took off her clothes to expose her dark green bikini as soon as her toes touched the warm sand of the beach. Looking around, she studied the children playing on the beach and their parents that watched them play. She wished she could give her kids every good thing in life, like the luxury they deserved and blissful memories. She wants to bring them to the beach and play with them too. Her eyes drifted to the pool of ladies in the water, drooling over a guy who was probably asleep on his chair with a beach umbrella over him. Rolling her eyes at the stupidity and utter disappointment, she spread her little mat on the sand close to the water and applied sunscreen to her lightly freckled body. Kim took a book out of her straw handbag and happily laid on the mat with her sunglasses over her eyes. There was no way she was gonna come over to California and not enjoy the beach, no matter how broke she was. Kim just flipped the second page when a shadow slowly fell on her. “Hey.” He had his usual smile on. Not only did she know that body, the voice reverberated in the deep memory of her soul. Kim loudly shut the book and quickly sat up. “Santos!” “It's you, again,” He maintained his smile. “I knew I was right.” “Are you following me?” She angrily jumped to her feet. “Are you for real? This is getting annoying now.” He had a perplexed look on. “What are you talking about? I believe I was here first because I've been on the chair for hours” He pointed at the chair she saw the hot guy earlier. “Well,” She didn't know what to say. “If anything, I think you're the one following me. Why? You can't seem to stay away from me?” He seductively smiled. “Of course not.” She frowned. “And stop doing that!” “What am I doing?” “That smile…stop it! D.. don't smile at me..like that.” She stammered. “Why?” He moved closer. “Do you fancy me?” “No!” She quickly picked up her mat and folded it. “Stop talking rubbish.” And why does he sometimes talk so weirdly? ‘Fancy him?’ “What are you doing? Where are you going?” He asked. “Away from you..” She started dressing up. “Why?” “You're bad news. I refuse.” “What exactly are you refusing?” “This thing that you're trying to do, no, nope! It's not gonna work.” She picked a clip from her bag to tie up her hair. “I like you with your hair up.” His voice deepened and she could feel the tension building up between her legs. “You're doing it again.” Kimberlee shook her head and walked past him but he followed. “I find you really attractive and you do too, don't deny it.” He walked with her. “That's not true.” “The fact that you are completely into me or the part that you keep denying it?” He asked. “You are enjoying this.” She sighed and stopped. “Listen, I don't want anything to do with you. Please for the last time, leave me the hell alone!” She turned away from him and started walking away. “And don't follow me.” “Wait,” He softly held her arm to stop her. “Look, I really want to know you. Just one date, just one date is all I ask for and you can decide if you wanna see me again or not, c’mon.” Kimberlee hesitated. Just one date. “Fine. I'll text you my address, pick me up for lunch.” She said. “Lunch? C'mon, make it dinner.” He made a sad face. “Take it or leave it.” She firmly said and waited for his decision. “Dinner, no alcohol I promise.” He insisted. Kim rolled her eyes again. “Seven.” She punched in her contact in his photo and walked away. Santos loudly exhaled as he watched her. He has never gone to this extent just to bed any woman. Why was it different with her? And why the hell was he doing all these? For a night full of hot sex. A smirk fell on his face. All his efforts will pay off once he completely demoralise her being and watch her break under him. Kimberlee looked at herself in the mirror. She wore the only dress Zita snuck into her bag and presently, she was glad her friend did. It was a tight brown short dress with an open back and straps that gave her back a sexy look. ‘I like you with your hair up’ His voice rang in her head and she picked more pins to keep her hair in a neat bun on the top of her head. Kim applied lipgloss and looked at herself in the mirror again with a small purse in hand. Why is she putting too much effort in her looks anyway? It's not going to be more than one date. She is going on date! She sat on the small bed in the hotel and stared at her phone. ‘Breathe, Kim, breathe’ She sighed. She didn't even tell her friends about the date. Well, it's better that way. She'll just fill them in when she goes back to Manhattan. She'd gone on dates before, maybe two or three but they all ended in a disaster. One from which she had her first relationship which ended more badly compared to her other two dates. That was when she decided relationships weren't for her because she wasn't psychologically ready for any of that trauma anymore and coupled with the fact that she had a lot of responsibilities and can't afford to let her guard down. “You look absolutely gorgeous.” He took her left hand and placed a kiss on it. “This is so unnecessary.” She said when he opened the car door for her but entered anyways. “I think I am safe to say you don't have gentlemen in your life?” He briefly looked at her and ignited the car. “I don't blame you, you need to be treated like this, more often.” She didn't even want to remember all the men that have been in her life. She has no interest in any one that would like to be in her life to the point that people around her thought she was a lesbian. Some still do. Kim recognised a very famous suite when he stopped his car in front of it and gave the key of his car to be taken away. “What happened to good old fashion restaurant?” She asked as he lead her in. “Too corny for me.” He simply said. “And get, bringing a strange woman into a very expensive suite obviously to impress doesn't sound so cliché?” She scoffed. Santos pressed the elevator button and selected the last button. They are going to the roof? “Well, it's all about perspective. Although, are you impressed?” He asked with a cheeky smile. “I'd be glad if it worked, just saying.” Kim hardly stopped herself from rolling her eyes but her jaw dropped when they walked to the roof and she saw the beautiful set-up with candles that lit up the place and red roses that added the romantic touch. “There it is.” He draw out a chair for her. “Impressed? Yes. Speechless?" " It's..nice.” She conceded with a nod. Why would anyone do this for her, just to impress her? " I'm glad you like it.” He gave her a white rose and sat opposite her. " I decorated it myself.” " Really?!” She gasped. " No, not at all. I hired people.” He laughed but she threw the rose at him. “Stupid." She smiled a little. “Because I want us to be alone, I asked my staff to leave us alone so, I'm at your service today.” He picked the wine bottle and poured her some. " Like I promised, no alcohol.” " Thanks." She sipped a little and placed it back on the round decorated table. “Kimberly, you can call me Kimberly." She said. Santos watched as the candlelight highlighted her lovely heart shaped face in the darkness. He studied her every movement even with her being unaware of it. Does she really think he was interested in knowing anything about her? He already knew enough, which was her name. He always knew. Men of his calibre always get what they want. One way, or the other. And tonight, without any alcohol or persuasion, she will willingly beg him to fuck her so hard she will forget her own name.SEX IN A SUITE Santos poured another round of wine as their voices filled the cold air with laughter.“I can't believe that happened to you at the age of seven." He gulped down the contents of his glass.“Well, I was pretty mischievous growing up. That's why a lot of my foster parents didn't like me so much.”" But isn't that the point? To be a nice kid so you'll get a lovely family that would actually take you in for good?” He asked.“I had my fair share of ‘lovely’ family. The share was small enough to make me understand that there wouldn't be any family out there for me. I mean, what people will take in a complete stranger and ‘love’ them as their own? It just sounded so fake to me." " Everyone deserves to be treated well, to be loved. No one should ever feel alone in this brutal world.” He gently placed his hand over hers on the table.Santos realized women like Kimberlee are not easily moved by materialistic things. They can only be impressed by emotional bullshi
MINUTES TO MIDNIGHT Kimberlee rolled to her side with a light groan.She heard the same song he played for her last night, playing in the room on a very low volume.So it wasn't a dream.She slowly sat up and looked around.Normally, a one night stand ends up with the girl alone in bed when she wakes up but when she looked back, he was sound asleep. He didn't ditch her.She listened to the music play for a moment.🎶 Walkin' out of timeLookin' for a better place (lookin' for a better place)Something's on my mind (mind)Always in my head spaceBut I know some day I'll make it out of hereEven if it takes all night or a hundred yearsNeed a place to hide, but I can't find one nearWanna feel alive, outside I can't fight my fear. 🎶Kimberlee quietly climbed down the bed and looked for her bag.“Shit!" She got a lot of voicemail from home. 🎶 Isn't it lovely, all alone?Heart made of glass, my mind of stoneTear me to pieces, skin to boneHello, welcome home… 🎶It was just few minut
FUCK MATE AND FANTASIES" Don't let Sarah get you standing around and doing nothing.” Dan knocked her out of her thoughts. “You don't like your job anymore?" Kimberlee quickly picked the tray from the table and headed back to the kitchen.Two months now, two months and she still wasn't able to get him out of her head.She knew what it was and accepted it for what it was, she gave her consent to a one night stand but she couldn't get over it.His light moans kept echoing in her mind. His lips, still fresh in her mouth and she could still feel his weight over her every fucking night.She couldn't stop thinking about that night because it kept on playing in her soul.Why the hell can't she stop thinking about him and the different ways he could fuck her?It wasn't the constant thoughts of him that scared her, nor was it the way she felt everytime she thinks about him or the possibility that she would have sex with him again.It was the fact that she wanted more.She wants him and it sca
PREGNANT FOR THE PLAYBOY Kimberly's hands shook as she took the results from the doctor.She couldn't believe it has turned into a reality.Hot tears flowed down her frozen cheeks.No, this can't happen, it's not possible.Why was this happening to her? Just that one time she decided get loose, to be like other humans, to taste life and have a little fun.That was all it was. Fun.Yes, she was new at this but that goddamn son of a bitch knew better to take precautions.She was so fucking wet and completely filled with lust she didn't pay attention whether he used protection or not.“Fuck.” Escaped her lips.She just had to go and mess up at her very first time. Her very first time and she got herself knocked up.By Santos.Tears of regret flowed down her cheeks and soaked her blouse.By Santos.It kept on ringing in her head and she couldn't make it stop.Upon all the men in the world, in the whole wide world, she is pregnant for Santos?Why was luck never on her side?He definitely
THE ONE WHO GOT AWAY Santos poured himself another shot of vodka and swallowed it all down in one huge gulp.He couldn't believe it because there was no way it was possible although he clearly remembered not using protection.That was his first slip up and it only came back to hit him right in the face.He silently cursed his stupid libido.How can Kim affect him in such a way?Santos closed his eyes when he remembered that night, how he woke up alone at dawn and she wasn't there. She was gone!She fucking left in the middle of the night after she used him and just like some toy, throw him away when she was done.‘What are you saying?’ He poured another shot.Of course he felt something. He couldn't explain or tell exactly what it was when he realized she was gone without a word but it made him feel uncomfortable and weird in a way.He was usually the one that leaves in the middle of the night or at dawn, so when he realised she did exactly what he was supposed to be the one to do, i
DENYING HER BABY DADDY Estaban sighed, looking at his little brother.“Before we think of anything, I just want you to be mentally prepared. Sii forte. You know how it is back there, this is a whole different and new stage and trust me when I saw it won't be easy.”Santos nodded.“Mother needs to find out first and you have a perfect opportunity to tell her the truth when she arrives next week.” Estaban added.Santos suddenly got up. “What? Mother is coming here? Why!?”“You refused to go back to Greece, Santos. She's worried.” Estaban replied.“More like she wants to control my life.” Santos scoffed. “I can't believe she is coming here.”“Focus, Santos. Essere un uomo. When did you find out about the this?” He pointed at the envelope.“Three days ago.”“Did you talk about it?”“No, she doesn't know I already found out.” Santos replied and Estaban waited with a frown. “I found the envelope, hoping to return it but I decided to open it last night.”“How did you get the envelope?”“I…I
SCOOTER CHASE “Miss Kimberly?" The receptionist smiled at her when she walked into the huge lounge. “Yes." She walked up to him with a smile. She couldn't believe her dream was about to come true. If she gets a huge investment, she can start the foundation immediately and more investors would like to join after seeing the progress. “I have an appointment." She smiled. She decided to choose what to wear instead so she dressed up in a simple black jumpsuit and her wedge sandals. “Yes. I will have someone escort you in." He replied and placed the telephone on his ear. She wanted to use public transportation but changed her mind and came with her scooter instead. Just in case she needed to go elsewhere. A suited man approached her shortly. “Shall we?" “Thank you." She said to the receptionist and followed the man. He took her to a very huge office that was empty. Where is her investor? “Please sit. He will be with you shortly." The man said and gestured she go in. Kim sl
CHEAP CONFRONTATION“Why?” His cold voice asked.Kimberlee slowly dropped her purse. “Why are we here? Why did you bring me here!?” She asked, feeling her anger build up.“You still wanna play dumb?” He scoffed. “You know exactly what you have to tell me.”“Well you see, the problem is, I don't have anything to tell you.” She sternly said. “I don't see the point of all these when I already made it clear that I don't wanna have anything to do with you again.”“When you're done blabbing, do tell me if you're pregnant or not.” He simply said, picking up the bottle instead.“Are you carrying my baby or not!?” He snapped.Kimberlee froze.He knew. Her heart literally stopped beating for some seconds and when it resumed, it felt distant and hot.She took a step back.He found the envelope. He did and she knew he already knew.But then, why was he acting so offended? She owes him nothing.Kimberlee breathed and quickly masked the shock on her face after she swallowed hard. “And who said it'
