ELLIEI walked tiredly into the house, wondering how my day had gone from being as beautiful as the morning skies to being the dark gloom that it was at the moment. That had to be the worst day at school ever.The pain, the hurt, and the fear that came all at once for me on that day was simply beyond words. It was quite a lot for me to grapple with as I made my way up the stairs. I would probably have another bottle to drink, as that seemed to be the only thing that could take me out of my current reality which was a mess at that point. There were way too many things coming for me all at once and that bottle seemed to be the only thing that welcomed me with open arms.Unlike Aiden.All over again, I hated the fact that I was thinking about him. I wished I could hit some delete button in my head that would quickly erase everything… at least I thought that was what I wished for.But somewhere deep down in the dark, lewd depths of my heart, I was trying to get myself to experience what
ELLIE“Are you sure about—”Aiden shut me up with a kiss at once as he smuggled me into the bathroom. He seemed like having me in the bathroom was one of the things he had been planning to do ever since he saw me. He seemed like he could devour me whole with the way he undressed me like a gift he had been waiting to unwrap ever since. It was quite a thrilling experience as no one had ever handled me that way. “Just trust me, Ellie…” Aiden's erection was burning hot as he was about to get me nude completely. “I'll make you feel alright…” his words slowly lost coordination as he was deeply aroused.I buried myself in his embrace as I was too shy to loosen up for a moment. He was quite understanding of my current disposition. His embrace kept me warm as he turned on the cold showers that came flooding down on me. I clung to him tightly as the cold water came pouring down on both of us. The cold water became warm as it trickled down our bodies. “Aiden…” I whispered his name softly as
AIDEN“Ellie…”I could tell the sound of my mother's voice when I heard it. But then, I wondered why in the world she wanted to see Ellie so badly at that point. Why couldn't it wait?“Aiden…” Ellie called out my name in a whisper, which had me putting my index over her lips. There was no way I could let my mother know that I was in there. It would be simply disastrous if she found me out.“What are we going to do?” Ellie asked in an even less audible whisper. “She's going to find us out in no time.”I hopped out of bed and scurried for my clothes. The speed with which I hopped into them had me feeling quite surprised as I had never felt such urgency for anything like I was right there. “Put on your damn clothes…” I mouthed voicelessly to her as she was still on the bed looking all confused and troubled. Was she trying to get us caught on purpose?I was dressed up and ready to leave, but I just needed a place to hide. I had slipped into my clothes with no underwear and it was quite
AIDENWhat the heck was Gina doing over there at my home? But less importantly, why on earth was my mother taking too long in her conversation with Ellie? Had Ellie forgotten about the fact that I was still under the bed? She could have as well killed me.“I'll let you know when I see him…” Ellie said with a tone that finally sounded like she had remembered I was on the verge of passing out right there. “I need to get dressed and—”“Maybe you could come to see my newest artwork… I'm sure you would like this painting…” My mother was insistent on getting her to see her new work of art and that was something she rarely did to me. Even though I had zero interest in art she could have tried coaxing me into seeing one or two of her works. But she never did, now she was doing it with Ellie. It all seemed like some sort of conspiracy to see me die underneath there.I waited impatiently until Ellie was completely dressed before she followed my mother out of the room. I would be damned if she
ELLIEI breathed a sigh of relief as I followed Aiden’s mother to wherever she was taking me. There was no telling why she was suddenly all over me at that point. I hadn’t told her anything that sounded like an interest in arts, but there she was, dragging me along like I had been bugging her ever since about arts.“You’re surely going to love all of this…” she said enthusiastically as she was taking me to a part of the house I had never been to before. It almost felt like she was pulling me away to give Aiden all the room he needed with Gina.Or was she?I was short of what to believe at that point, even though that suspicion was the one that blared loudest in my head at that point. It just had to be it. She probably knew who Gina was and her history with her son. Having an encounter with Gina was the last thing I wanted at that point, as I was still reeling from the ridiculous conditions she had handed me the last time we had met. But then, why had she come as far as coming over to
AIDEN“Ellie… it's not what you think…” I sounded awkward when I was horny and I hated the fact that she met me in that state. “You should have knocked…”The second statement I had made was a mistake, as I was giving her the impression that I had something to hide. I had somehow gotten a grip of myself just in time and that made Ellie walk in on the weird moment where Gina was getting back in her underwear. “Yeah… right…” Ellie said as the shocked expression on her face suddenly turned to anger. “I should have knocked…” She didn't wait a moment for me to get a word out for a minute. “Ellie please wait…” Besides being scared of the fact that she was never going to trust me ever again, I was also scared of the fact that she was going to rat on me to my mother who would probably tell her father the awful person I was.I had to contain the secret somehow. It was hard for me to understand why all of that felt like some sort of setup somehow somewhere. I suspected my mother had let her in
GINAI was feeling like some sort of detective as I walked into the front door of my home. “Surprise…!” My two friends greeted me as I walked in. My parents were away and it was a perfect night for a sleepover, and I didn't fail to take that opportunity to invite them over.“Hey, Gee…” Dora called out to me as she walked up to me, dressed in her pajamas, having a slight smile on her face. “I heard someone went sneaking to Aiden's home to run a quick check-up on him.”“I also heard he was running a fever which could only be pacified by the sight of his lovely darling, Gina…” Jane, my second friend, was now joining the conversation. “So, were you able to give him the healing which only you could offer him?” Dora asked with expectant eyes. They were both listening to hear what things had gone down while I had been at Aiden's place.I hated the fact that I would be disappointing them at that point as nothing I had expected had happened between me and the stubborn, strong-willed Aiden wh
ELLIEI took one last gulp of the drink from my bottle of vodka. I had gotten wasted and I had vowed to myself that I wouldn't be taking any more in a while, but then I wasn't liking the fact that I was back at it again.But what could I do? There was nothing else there to make me feel better about all of that moment. There was no friend or close companion that could get me to feel better in those horrible moments when I was facing the music all alone. “You are alright…” I said to myself as I stared in the mirror. “You don't need Aiden…” but the more I called his name, I felt even weaker. How could I have given up such a precious moment to such a jerk?But the deed had been done anyway. I exhaled heavily as I looked at the watch that clung to my shaky wrist. The alcohol was making me a bit dizzy at that point but I was trying my very best to get back on the track of sobriety.“You're good…” I said again, as I took my bag, loaded with books for the day and some food that I had taken o
ELLIE "Kai, what do you mean you're here to take me out?" I asked, trying to hide the confusion and surprise in my voice. I could feel my heart beating faster, not because of excitement, but because I knew this visit wasn't going to end well. "I'm serious, Ellie. I mean every word I said, I want to take you out," Kai replied, his smile widening, reaching his eyes. "I wanted to spend some time with you. Just the two of us. Away from everyone else." I crossed my arms, trying to appear nonchalant. I didn't know what to say or do. As Kai spoke, my eyes didn't leave the door, as I was afraid Aiden might walk through it. I hated these kinds of visits. "Kai, this is unexpected. You should've called first." I swallowed. "I'm sorry for that, I know," the blue-eyed guy apologized, covering the space between us, "But I needed to see you. In person. And to be honest, I didn't want to give you a chance to say no over the phone." I sighed, glancing around the room as though searching for an
AIDEN It felt like my heart was going to be right out of my chest as I was seeing my tears happening right before my eyes. The phone in my hand grew shaky even though I was still filming the scenery of my mother's betrayal of Ellie's father who had probably trusted her enough to leave her all that time to go handle business somewhere else. Regardless of what I felt while watching my mother kissing another man who fortunately wasn't the cocky Dylan who had tried to have a go at Ellie. But it was still as painful as the betrayal that it was. I didn't know what it was that had me feeling just as hurt as the one who was being cheated on. There just weren't any words for the pain in my heart. With total disregard for repercussions and consequences, I drove the car right to where the car which my mother had been parked. I was speeding like I wanted to hit it from behind. There were just too many things that made me feel like I was about to create the biggest scene ever. The tires
AIDEN There was nothing cinematic about the moment as Ellie had remarked over the phone. The pressure of the moment was simply palpable on me as it was all feeling like I was going to get caught or I was going to catch my mother doing something that wouldn't leave my head in a while. For the past couple of moments, I had been following her from behind from the safest distance possible. There had been a few times when I had been close to losing them in the Manhattan traffic, but I managed to stay on track somehow and that had been something to be proud of as I was simply too good at that. Every single moment had me recalling back when I had been following Ellie and Troy. The heat of my jealousy back then had simply been over the limits and that had me feeling like I had been some hopeless stalker, not knowing that ability would come in handy in an even more important predicament. “Please don't be Dylan…” I had lost count of how many times I had muttered those words to myself and
ELLIE "I just hit the road now, and I'm hot on her tracks as we speak," Aiden said through the phone as though he was in the middle of a theft where he was being pursued by a troop of cop cars. "The target vehicle is in view as we speak." "You are sounding like some secret agent right now…" I teased from my end of the line even though the situation was quite a serious one which would tell him all he needed to know about his mother's deeds. "You can say that again. I'm giving her as much space as I can. I just want to see where this car goes from here." "Are you sure this would work?" I asked, still wondering if it was worth it after he had seen some other women like her. I felt like he would be going on a wild goose chase if he would insist on following her to where she was going. "What if you get caught?" "Ellie I followed you to Troy's house one time and you didn't…" Aiden took hold of himself at once as he just realized that he had given himself away with that misplaced stat
AIDENA new day had come and I wasn't sure of the plan that I had in mind as I was soon trying to get myself ready to face my mother who had been the reason for my fallen mood. It was quite annoying and embarrassing that my suspicions were looking to be true at that point, even after all the drama she had used in trying to get away the last time. As I walked down the stairs, to head for the court at the back, I had my eyes open and ready for any signs of my mother. I could almost tell how it would all end if I dared to confront her upfront. There was simply no means of telling that she had been on the phone with some guy named Dylan to whom she had confessed love. That would lead me to defeat all over again. I would possibly have to apologize when she was the one who was at fault. That was one of the worst predicaments for me. "Be smart…" I said to myself as I was simply trying my best to keep it all cool and calm as I had the ball in my hands ready to take out all of the mixed fe
KAIThey were up to something. I just knew it but I just couldn't prove it. That was the main source of my frustration as I held that ball in my hands while I was still trying my best not to take my focus off the ball and the hoop which was the only thing that I could control at that point..But it was hard not to think of Aiden having a good time with Ellie. There were just too many things on my mind as I was trying not to think of anything that had to do with Aiden and that one girl that wouldn't leave my mind. "Ugh…" it was all feeling like I was stuck in some sort of cycle that just wouldn't end. The cycle always began with the sight of Aiden and his so-called sister whom he claimed not to be screwing. After seeing them, the thoughts would just stick in my head and I would need basketball to get it off my head.I sank the shot, but I still wasn't feeling the satisfaction that I used to get from the sport before it became a means for me to get my mind off Ellie. The only thing tha
AIDEN"I think your mother is seeing someone else…" Ellie said with such a sad look on her face.At first, I had been relieved that it hadn't been the news of my scuffle with Gina. But then, I was even more troubled by the fact that a suspicion that I had allowed to fallow when it had caused a lot of trouble the first time, was now popping up from a source that wasn't me. That aroused all my suspicions which had been buried beneath the layers of my conscience. I had swallowed them up the leg time because of my mother who had been hurt by it. But it was all popping out again. There were a lot of things that had me feeling like I was getting to the bottom of the whole thing that had taken place in that awkward weekend which had happened in almost a blur.The memory of the texts was coming back to my head. The words and the emotions that seemed to have been behind them when they had been sent. There was no way that moment couldn't stay etched in my mind which seemed to be susceptible to
AIDENThere was a rush in my very being as I was trying to make sure that I could get to Ellie before the news of me and Gina would get to her. It felt like my rush would all end up being in vain as I was trying not to let it all get to me. At that point, I was beginning to rehearse the words I would use in explaining myself, just in case it turned out that I hadn't been quick enough. I was almost pulling over like I had robbed a bank. I just hoped I wouldn't be asked too many questions about that as all of that was beginning to make me lose my cool. I was willing to do anything to make that save happen.There wasn't any time to look back as I got out of the car and made my way to the front door which I opened with my key, as I felt like knocking would only go on to waste the little time I had even more."What's all this about?" Mother asked as she was thinking of what could have been making me run like there was some fire I was trying to put out somewhere. "What's gotten into you?"
SANDRA"How dare she?" I muttered to myself as I realized that she had hung up on me yet again as she was making a show of her youthful arrogance. Everything about her seemed to remind me of her father, and it was simply annoying that all I could do was stay behind those bars all day and all night while complaining about how miserable being in there had been for me. The thoughts of her father brought me pain, shame, and regret, and that was exactly what came to mind each time I thought of Ellie. That had been why I had gotten so ticked off when she pointed out that I always took it out on her. It was hard for me to think straight at that point.Right there at that moment, I was feeling the pain that came with all of the memories which I had been suppressing all that time. It felt like the canister that had been holding it all together had been popped open by the way that my daughter had spoken to me. I just couldn't wait to get out of there and come teach her a lesson. Ellie had gro
