ADAYou know, today is a good day. A truly good one, I must say.As I slowly opened my eyes, the vibrant rays of the morning sun seeped through the narrow gaps in my curtains, cascading onto my face like a tender embrace. The warmth filled me with an indescribable sense of joy and contentment. Standing in front of the mirror, toothbrush in hand, I couldn't help but laugh at the wide, whimsical grin that reflected back at me.The question arises, why such a penetrating happiness consumed me in the early hours of the day. So many reasons played their part, intertwining harmoniously to create a symphony of sheer bliss. Perhaps it was the sheer beauty of nature awakening, with the sun's golden fingers stretching across the horizon, painting a breathtaking masterpiece of hues that danced in perfect harmony with the waking world.Or maybe, just maybe, it was the lingering scent wafting through the air, a delightful fusion of floral notes and sweet undertones that embraced my senses. As I to
ETHAN"Come on," Mum said, as we sat on the porch, looking at the dark sky. "It's not like I'm asking you to join a society at the church.""Mum, you know how much I hate churches and the whole concept of religion."A frown appeared on Mum's face. "Don't say that. If only you knew how much it bothers me when you mention that. Whether you like it or not, God is what keeps the world spinning.""Mum, I'm pretty certain inertia does that."Mum let out a sigh. "Jeez. You're so stubborn. Just like your father.""Really?"She started to chuckle. "Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration. Your father, sure as hell, is a sick son of a bitch."We both laughed at that."You know what," I said, "I will go with you tomorrow, but that's it."Mum leaned in and kissed my forehead. "Now, that's my son! Who knows? Perhaps you will have an encounter with Jesus, just like Paul in the Bible."I wanted to tell her that if God existed, He should focus on more pressing issues. But I didn't want to ruin the moment,
ADASo we were at the beach. Why? Well, I told Tyler that it had been quite a while since I went to the beach and he said, "Well, let's go right now.""Look," he said pointing at a bird flying just above us, "my grandma used to teach me about birds.""Oh, she seemed to have taught you everything."Biting his lower lip, though not looking at me, he said, "Well, there's a lot I learnt by myself."Since we came we have barely sat down. We just kept walking, talking non-stop.As I walked hand in hand with Tyler along the sandy shores of the beach, as it always seems to be, a sense of peace washed over me. The gentle breeze of the ocean carried the faint scent of saltwater, mingling with the invigorating aroma of the ocean. The radiant sun dipped lower in the sky, its golden beams gracefully caressing the surface of the water, creating a kaleidoscope of shimmering hues that danced before my eyes. It was a scene straight out of a dream, a paradise reserved for only the best of dreams.Now,
TYLERAs she sat astride my crotch, my hands dug gently into her luscious hair, and I locked tongues with her, my other hand grabbing her butt from behind.She brought her tongue to my neck, licking and kissing me, her hands massaging my throbbing cock through my trousers."I love you," I said, raising her chin with a finger.She came even closer, now we were pretty much having a tight cuddle. "Show me."I carried her in my arms and walked to the bed in the bedroom."Let me do it," she said, undressing herself. "Just a minute."As she took off her clothes, I followed suit, and in seconds, we were both unclothed, passionately kissing on the bed.I came on top of her, teasing her perked nipples with the tip of my tongue. I did this over and over again, until I felt her hands pushing my head downwards and, obediently, I went down, licking her belly all the way down to her vagina."Oh, don't stop," she let out, her hand softly pushing my head down.With my hands spreading her legs apart,
ETHANAs I sat in the stillness of my room, the memory lingered, entangling itself in the corners of my mind. Like an echo, it reverberated through my thoughts, refusing to be silenced. Each time I pushed it away, it only grew stronger, demanding my attention.I found myself retracing the sequence of events, examining every detail as though with a magnifying lens. What had seemed insignificant in the moment now held an undeniable weight, pulling me deeper into its grasp. I tried to label it as a passing thought, dismissing it as mere imagination, but the truth whispered softly in the recesses of my consciousness—I couldn't lie to myself, not this time.The more I resisted, the more the memory expanded, filling the vast expanse of my mind. It played on a loop, like a broken record, each repetition etching the moment deeper into my soul. Doubt crept in, its icy tendrils wrapping around my heart, questioning my own perception. Was I overthinking? Was this just a figment of an overactive
ETHANThere I stood, her words echoing in my ears for a moment. I didn't know why, but I was sure that we would never speak again. There was something about the way she spoke to me the day we met. There was a sort of permanence to her exit, and now I was beyond shocked to hear that she was reaching out.Oh, this was a crazy day already!"Hello," she repeated, her voice still calm. "Do you remember me?"Clearing my throat, I said, "It's a little hard to forget you."She chuckled, her voice fading over the phone for a moment. "I understand. I often have that effect on people."Seeing that I was much calmer, I asked, "Why did you call me?""I can't say much over the phone. We have to meet.""Okay," I let out. "At the shop?""No, no, no," she protested and then paused. "Okay, screw it. We will meet there by six in the evening."She hung up."Are you alright?" Mum asked, while stealing glances at me as she dusted the TV set divider.I sank into the plush cushions of the sofa, the weight of
ADA"Tyler, I'm going out," I said to Tyler who was napping. "Tyler."He just turned and mumbled some inaudible words. "Okay," I let out walking out of the apartment. Look, since that day we heard those knocks, it was as though we were being injected with a dose of fear every single moment. It wasn't as if we didn't know that Acelia and Alex weren't done with us. Of course, we knew. But I guess them coming to the apartment reminded us that they were ever coming for us. And they weren't resting.The mere mention of Acelia and Alex's names sent shivers down our spines, for we knew all too well that they were not ready to relinquish their hold on our lives. We had thought that we could put their menacing presence behind us, lock them away in the recesses of our memories— at least, for a while— but the haunting reality of their relentless pursuit now seemed to echo through the very walls of our apartment, amplifying the fear that coursed through our veins.Their intentions had never tru
TYLEREven as I spoke to Ethan on the phone, I could see that Ada already knew that the call was, well, an important one."What did he say?" she inquired, just as I dropped the phone on my thigh.I drew closer to her, putting an arm around her shoulder. "Finally, some good news, or something like it.""Say more!""You see," I started, now giving her some space so that we could look at each other, "Ethan met up with that Clara lady and she told him how we could take down Acelia."Ada's brows were raised as she tried to restrain a smile. "For real? Oh, my fucking goodness! This is... this is good news!"I nodded, smiling. "Yeah, it is." I looked down at my hands before continuing. "But, for someone who was so hyped up about everything, he didn't seem so happy."Ada's smile slowly faded as she heard this. "But we don't know... okay, okay. How do we do it?""Do what?" I asked."Take her down.""Oh. Despite asking him to tell me, he claimed it wasn't something he could say on the phone."S
