My phone beeps and I groan. “Is that Caroline?” Carlos asks. “It's my mother, we're having dinner tonight,” I say and roll my eyes and Carlos can see the torn look and the desperation laced in my face. He doesn’t want to say more but allow me make my very own decision. All he can do now is kee
Larry I continue to stare at her waiting for an answer while the house is quiet. She says nothing for a while but then she changes her mind and leans forward. “Given the current situation, I would beg to differ.” “How so?” “I could tell you that yes, I do see myself as a mother to another c
When I reach out for her, she flinches and a tear rolls down her eyes. I want to apologize even though I don't know what I am apologizing for. I want to change the outcome of this situation but I honestly have no idea what to do or say anymore. What we both feel now is betrayal and shame and an
She looks blankly at me like she doesn't know what I am talking about. "Why did you come back here if you didn't want to talk?" I ask her. She shrugs but doesn't really answer me. I walk in fully and look her over. She puts a kettle on the stove and leans back against the kitchen sink. Then
Tiffany So far, Laurene is on the fence about my relationship with Adrian. She hasn't said anything about it except just being shocked and unable to speak. It's Amila I'm mostly worried about right now because when I told her about it, she got upset and locked herself up in her room. When she
She clasps her wrists and really smiles now. "Do you need a shrink though? Because I can be very good at those too." "Get lost!" Ughh, I can't stand her when she's being like this but I also love her to the moon, and this contradiction of feelings is not something I am used to. “Suit yourself, l
This is next level bullshit. I'm sorry that I'm being a bitch to you right now but I love you and I care for you which is why I can't watch you ruin your life a second time." I try to swallow but fail. I try again and this time, it goes effortlessly. “Are you saying this because he's my boss?
Tiffany What does love mean? Since I saw the message on my email about the divorce, I haven't really stopped thinking hard about it. It's a question I find fundamental here in a place like this with a type of man who hasn't before stirred my curiosity. In LA, finding a man who has fast cars
By having him so close to me again, I feel like I can become someone good enough for both of us. "Just be careful around him," Madeline says. "I know you…Tiffany. Please be careful." "I shouldn't fall in love with him?" I tease because we both know that I am hopelessly in love with Larry who is
I square my shoulders and look at her dead in the eyes. “I don’t care about anything else, Sweets. I want you to be someone I can be myself with. I want to protect you, love you, and ache for you. I want to be the man that you seek for. Please let me be that for you…for us.” Is This Real?
Larry I pass her the chocolates and she opens it and takes one out. She bites from it and closes her eyes to savor the sweet taste. “Do you like it?” I ask. She nods. “You have good taste. Try it with me, Larry.” We sit together on the couch in the living room and I take one of the chocolat
I actually atop breathing and a shiver runs down my spine when I hear this because, somehow, I know it might be the truth and me clinging onto old memories and what ifs and maybes are because I can’t get over leaving again. “Hard truth, Tiffany?” Laurene asks but she doesn’t wait for an answer. “
I raise my cup and lean forward. We are sitting in a circle so it makes it easy for me to look from either of the friends here with me. “What should we toast to?” Laurene licks her lips and raises her glass too. “To us being the most creative friends on the East Coast.” “To our reunion!” Brynn s
Tiffany I go to visit Laurene at her place to tell her about what has been happening. "I don't support you leaving Adrian for whatever you are doing!" She says to me. "Is that why you gave him my number and where to find me?" I ask. I'm still angry that she did but when I ask this, I am not r
"That is lovely," she says and we kiss again. It feels like this is the best life. I leave her house and go home. I am happy with how everything is turning out to be that for a while I seem to have forgotten about Caroline's cheating and her hurting our son until she shows up at my house the n
"And the divorce papers you sent?" She asks with a rather sharp tone. "That hurt me. What about it? What are we to do with that?" "Tear it up," I say. "I can't stand a minute with you, sweets. Forgive me and stay with me." I take her to my car and drive her home. On the drive home, we are silent
Larry Tiffany kisses me and it takes all of my willpower not to slam her into me and kiss her with all of my pent-up emotions. I miss her dearly and having her so close to me only ignites the longing and doubles it too. After she breaks the kiss, we stand apart just breathing in each other's s
