Troubles

last update Last Updated: 2023-01-23 23:28:43

As a kid, I had a bittersweet relationship with hospitals. Bitter as I had to take awful medicines and injections. I don't even want to go there as I still hate them. And the sweet part was after checkups dad would take me Ava for treats, to our fav cafe.

Those were some of the best days of my life. Then dad was not this uptight, he was more of a father than a businessman. He let us have the freedom of our dreams.

I still sometimes, think, that when things changed. But even if I get the answer to that nothing is going to change.

I recall, once I was suffering from some disease and the doctor said, I will need an injection.

I still remember how I imagined, that doctor, to be a monster red-eyed, growing in the skin, and with ugly horns, with a big injection in his hands.

He was my nightmare. That day was also special because that was the first time I did something out of my goody-good-girl character. I ran away.

    Ava's POVNo one wants to be bad. But try being the girl, who spent all her life pleasing people, but ends up being all alone in the end. That's me. Rude, arrogant, and cold-hearted and there are many names, not the good ones, people use to characterize me. Am I all these?Maybe. People change. I did too.But believe me, I was not always like this. I recall when I was five and Iris three, more than mom and dad, she was my princess, I loved my sister more than anything. We had the best bond. Hurt her and I will damn you. That was how important she was to me. I would do anything for her to smile at me with awe and look at me as her hero. She was my pride. My sister was my gem. She was my cute, little chubby world. I would do anything, just to stretch those beautiful lips. When Iris first went to kindergarten, a fat boy pushed her, and she got a scrape on her knees. I was livid.The next day I punched that guy. Bullied him until he asked Iris for forgiveness. Dad was furious

    "You know he will find me," I whispered, but I am sure Ava heard, considering we are the only ones in this small room, engulfed in silence. My hands ache from being tired up at the back of the chair, eyes are swollen because I haven't slept a wink. And I am exhausted. I don't know why, and how Ava and I reached here. What led to this?If one thinks I have the answer, then j doesn't. All I know is that something went wrong, something I don't have an idea about. It's not like we are not blood. Even if what Aunt Myra said, is true, then also it doesn't change the fact that Ava is my sister. She will always be. And no matter what she says I know she loves me. Always had. Or at least I like to believe, that she does. I don't know what made us drift apart, but I remember very well, even when she was pretending to despise me, she always cared for me from afar. Like when I will scrape my legs due to my clumsiness or habit of falling from bed, Ava would send maids to my aid. I know she

    Iris's POV "Hey, mom..." I stop mid-sentence seeing Ava sleeping peacefully with her head on mum's lap. I smile, feeling warmth spread through my veins to chest, seeing the view of my mom running fingers through Ava's hair, while she sleeps peacefully has something serene spreading in the air. If I rewind everything about today's day, it was so relaxed and calm that it made me feel as if this was something, I so desperately needed, was just not aware of. After Xander dropped me, I came to know that mom wanted to spend some quality time with both her daughters. And the quality time we spent. Something we never did in past. We cooked, danced, cracked jokes, did the makeup of each other and whatnot. I know all of this is pretty cliche and filmy, but we enjoyed. We wanted to start somewhere and we did. We acted as if nothing out of ordinary happened in our lives. And touchwood, I want our lives to be just like this. I love my mom, but the way she handled aunt May and Ava si

It's not my fault though. All my life since I started understanding things, I have been told that I am not enough and that I need to be better, and that I should be perfect. I hated being told so but was so little to argue about it, hence did as people around me told me and today I regret listening to other people.

    Let's just the little feast we had downstairs was not enough for my husband. And there are many reasons for it. But I will cut it down to, two most important. 1. He is as hard as steel. 2. It's our wedding night. So let's just say, my husband, picked me up in his signature way, wrapped my legs around his torso, and up to stairs he kept kissing and nibbling on my nipples. And a hormonal would-be mama is not gonna complain. Because let's be honest, I love every bit of it. The attention he is giving to my body is something I didn't know I wanted but now I know I have been craving it. My heart flutters, as my husband delicately places my body on the bed. Standing to his full height, he got rid of all his cloth as fast as he can. Usually, I like the slow torturous strip tease, but today I am so needy that I just want him to fuck me and use me like the slut he called me a while ago. And I don't have to plead because I and my husband are on the same page on this. "
