Laura stared at Steven, he as usual looked extremely handsome in a white three-piece suit. She habitually stared at his side face beside her.

“I am glad you’re here,” Arthur said as he stretched his hand to shake with Steven and then hugged him.

As soon as Steven’s hand was removed from her waist, she took a step back from him. Steven noticed it and frowned unhappily.

“You have invited me, so I had to come,” Steven told him with all smiles at which Arthur said in a confused manner. “Really? But I had invited you to attend all of my exhibitions and still, this is the very first you have attended.”

Steven stared at him blankly thinking for a good answer as Arthur again opened his mouth, “Oh maybe, Laura had insisted you this time. Right?” He asked as he looked at him with eager eyes.

“Yeah, right,” Steven answered in relief and Laura just kept looking at both men in amusement.

    His mouth was on her before Laura can even take in what’s happening. His hands grip her hips in a firm hold, making her gasp, and he steals the opportunity to push his tongue into her mouth. She thought the kiss would be rough and fast with the way he pressed her against the wall, but it was sweet and soft.He’s taking his time, giving her slow lazy strokes of his tongue. It’s as if he’s savoring her taste, and she let him. Laura wasn’t even kissing him back but she enjoyed the warmth of his lips on her. She had never felt such a need in her life.When he nibbles her bottom lip, desire shoots through her whole body, making her want more. She pressed herself into him, wanting to make the kiss deeper, but just as she did, he pulled away, resting his forehead against hers. His chest rises and falls, and Laura could feel his warm breath against her lips.As Laura was yearning for more, she protested lightly by his sudden distant reaction but

    Laura nodded her head in response and left his car in perplexity. As she entered the apartment, Tina loaded her with non-stop questions about the exhibitions. Laura hid her pain and tried to act normal with her as she told her all the details of the exhibition.The whole night, they talked about Arthur and Steven's relationship. Tina praised Arthur's behavior and Laura also agreed to her while their thoughts about Steven were baffled at some point. They both slept late and spent half of their night while talking.The next morning, as both were sleeping peacefully someone was knocking on their door continuously disturbing their sleep. Laura kicked Tina in frustration and Tina did the same to check on the door."I am tired," Laura groaned in her sleep."I am too tired," Tina also groaned."F**k," Laura cursed as she turned her side. "Whoever it is will get tired of knocking." She said as Tina said in agreement. "Yeah, right. Let's continue our sleep."And

    Laura looked around oddly. She started picking up the papers one by one and then kept them aside. While keeping the papers her eyes caught a glimpse of the painting Steven was hiding. She looked carefully at it, it looked incomplete but beautiful.The picture showed the half-face of a woman, her hairs were of brown shade and the eyes were sea green. She has good fuller brows and looked fascinating. Laura was too lost in the details of that painting that she didn’t hear the footsteps behind her.“Don’t you have any manners?” Steven angrily snatched his painting from her hand making her jump in fear.“I…I am sorry.” Laura stuttered embarrassedly and Steven scoffed angrily. While Arthur looked helpless while watching this.“I didn’t know you are an artist. This painting is very beautiful.” Laura said with sincerity just to get a rude reply from Steven. “Leave please.”Laura looked at him i

    Laura kept protesting all the way down but Augustus didn’t listen to any of it as he dragged her out of the hotel to his car.“I am not leaving…!!” Laura yelled and instantaneously pulled her hand out of his grip.Augustus turned and his nostrils flared as he stared at Laura. “You are leaving this hotel and this city too.” He announced as he took a step forward to hold her arm again.She stepped back from him cautiously and shouted, “No, I am not leaving. This is completely my life. I can do whatever I want.”“That doesn’t mean you’re allowed to whoring yourself.” He said as his jaw clenched and his words carried a heavy sense of loathing as he spoke.Laura felt too disheartened by his words that she spoke without thinking. “So what? That’s none of your business if I sell my body to one person or to many. You would never be able to stop me from this.”Augustus&rsq

    Laura ran blankly until she was out of breath. She stopped at the bridge while panting heavily. The tears of sorrow kept falling down from her eyes, she stood near the railing and watched the beautiful calm sea waves moving rhythmically.She didn’t understand, why Augustus always showed up in the wrong situation and at the wrong time? And why does he always become so judgmental about her? At least, he should give her a chance to explain herself but no He was always blaming her non-stop.She felt bitter when she remembered his words. Just because of her past mistakes he thinks she would always be the same person she used to be. But no, people change and why can’t Augustus see this?“Why do you always hurt me so badly? Why? Do you know how bad it hurts? Do you know that I am bleeding from inside?” Laura said cracked and broken while clutching her cloth near the chest like she was in great pain.Then without thinking for a second, She jumped

    “Kiss me and prove me wrong, because just now your actions proved that you are lying, Laura. You can deceive me with your words but not with your body’s reaction.” He said in a low voice, his face just inches away from her as his fully grown beard was sending goosebumps into her body when he slightly rubbed it on her face to tease her.After a moment of hesitation, she took her courage and kissed him on the lips as Steven smiled knowingly. “Laura, I am not a child. You are going to be my girlfriend so I want the proper deep kiss from my girl.” He said huskily as his hands were now on the headboard trapping her in his embrace.“Steve,” Laura called him while hesitating. Her hesitation proved Steven’s doubt to be right as he disappointedly pulled himself away from her. “It’s ok, we can still pretend in front of your brother-in-law but you just need to promise me that you won’t harm yourself.”He sai

    “Ready?” Steven asked as he knocked on the washroom.“Coming,” Laura’s voice came and after few minutes she finally walked out of the washroom feeling nervous.Steven looked at her and couldn’t help but bite his cheek to stop himself from laughing.“Okay, that’s it. I am going to wear my clothes.” She held her hands up in defeat and annoyance as she walked to the side of the bed to grab her dirty clothes.Steven tugged at her arm to stop her, “Laura, you look fine.”He said as Laura shot her a glare, “Really?”He couldn’t help but nod with a smiling face and Laura angrily snapped at him. “Then stop laughing at me.”And he finally chuckled at her behavior, “Laura, you made me so happy I can’t stop laughing when I’m with you.” He said coquettishly as Laura rolled her eyes and walked past him.

You like him then why did you push him away? Huh?” Laura questioned her angrily.“Laura, I didn’t like him and also I am not ready for relationship thing. You know my dad very well. Who will want to marry a daughter of that kind of man?” Tina said bitterly as Laura shut her mouth understanding her reasons.“And by the way, what the hell are you wearing? Whose clothes are these?” Tina asked while pulling her hoodie. Laura is wearing Steven’s clothes which are way looser and big on her petite body.“Nothing important, I want to sleep for a while. You’re leaving for the school?” She asked trying to change the subject.“School? Oh, f**k. I need to fill an ass
