*THE PSYCHIATRIC-HOSPITAL* The premature morning sunlight percolated through the blinds, spreading out soft patterns on the walls of the hospital room. Tinsley was sitting right beside Lucinda's side, with her eyes red and puffy from sleepless nights and worry. Lucinda is still admitted to the psychiatric hospital, and Tinsley couldn't shake off the unease feeling that reflected heavily in her heart.Momentraily, Tinsley gazed at Lucinda, who was once vibrant and animated, now lying still and withdrawn, she couldn't help but wonder how everything had came to this. Lucinda's deterioration in mental health had been gradual. But strangely, yet lately, it had taken a very sharp turn for the worse. Tinsley's mind was barraged with questions, digging through for answers that seemed elusive.In the midst of her contemplation, Tinsley somewhat heard footsteps approaching, and she snapped her head dejectedly to the door, only to find Rosalie and Xavier coming into the room. “Tinsely, how
*DEVOTED DESIGNS-COMPANY* Tinsley had gone home after leaving the hospital, she took her bath and changed into something casual yet professional. Right now, she is sitting in the back of the taxi, her mind whirling with a mix of anticipation and anxiety as she thought about her impending encounter with Lorenzo. How would she face him in the company? Unconsciously, her hand wandered to the mark on the nape of her neck, tracing its shape as the memories of that fateful night stuck in her mind. He had looked at her with immense adoration and with their bodies linked. His mark on her neck was an endless reminder of the intense passion and connection they had shared that fateful night —it was vivid and overwhelming. However, now, circumstances had forced them apart, and she wasn't certain how to navigate the new dynamic between them.Just as the taxi made its way through the bustling streets, Tinsley stared out of the window, she was watching how the cars pass by in a blur. All of
It was raining heavily in the city, and its drizzle was cascading down in torrents, hitting the car window as Lorenzo drove Tinsely home. The atmosphere inside the car was solemn with unspoken emotions, the silence prolonging between them like an imperceptible wall. Tinsley was busily staring out at the passing cars on the highway, her mind lost in a perturbation of thoughts and fears.A few sometimes she would share a glance with Lorenzo, and end up looking away until they both arrived at the building of the apartment. “You have to come in,” Tinsely says, giving no space for a response as she stepped out. Lorenzo sighed deeply, stepping out too and they hurriedly walked together, seeking shelter from the relentless rain as they head to the door. A few droplets of rain clung to their clothes, and it dampened them slightly, as they recklessly made their way inside. Lorenzo exhaled as he brushed his hair with his fingers, making him look detectable when Tinsely glanced at him and
*THE PSYCHIATRIST HOSPITAL* It was early morning, and the sun's rays were pouring into the room through the windows, radiating a soft shine in the room where Xavier sat. It was apparent that he was sleeping as he laid his head on his bed, with his heavy eyes closed. The room was silent, and only the beeping sound of the machine could be heard in the air. All of a sudden, Lucinda jerked awake, her red eyes were wide and puffy. “Lucinda?” Xavier was shocked to see her awake, he stood and tried to hug her longingly. However, she furiously pushed him, grabbing the pillows and thrashing them about, flinging the pillow wherever they fell. “Aghhhh!” She was screaming, grabbing her hair own hair and gritting, growling, and behaving animalistic. Her piercing screams filled the room, drawing attention. Xavier's eyes were wide as he watched her go insane and his heart raced with fear mixed with concern. “Stop! Lucinda, please calm down!” He shouted at her, going closer to her as he tri
Lorenzo's heart beat angrily in his chest when he saw David's lips locking with Tinsley's. Unspeakable anger swelled through his veins, fueling a fiery killing instinct within him. How dare he kisses what's his? Lorenzo’s eyes grew dark and narrowed, as he seethed furiously towards them with clenched fists. Tinsely pushed David away herself, her eyes widened when she saw how dangerous Lorenzo is looking. She could feel each step he took, filled with anger and frustration.Getting to the parking lot, Lorenzo without any form of hesitation, raised her hand and struck David. “Fuck!” David groaned in pain, he didn't see that coming as he held his bleeding nose. “How dare you kiss her?!” Lorenzo yell, unconsciously slamming his hand to the car nearby, and a sharp pain shot through his knuckles, but he hardly noticed it. “Lorenzo!” Tinsely's eyes widened, she was panicking. A wide gasp exploded in the air as witnesses to his outburst looked at him, their faces filled with shock and
*ROSALIE’s–APARTMENT* The beautiful morning sun's rays screened through the curtains, radiating delicate sheens on Tinsley's face as she slowly shifted from her sleep. Sitting up on the bed, she yawned tiredly and stretched her arms above her head. Taking a glance around her room, and she smiled at the peaceful quietness. Signing deeply, Tinsely threw off the covers, swung her legs over the side of the bed, and sailed out of the bed. As she stood on her feet, she felt a ripple of energy circuit through her veins. It was Saturday! Tinsely heads towards the bathroom, she was ready to begin her day. After she entered the bathroom, she turned on the faucet. Immediately the sound of water pouring out delivered a soft backdrop to her thoughts.Tinsley stood naked beneath the cascading water, she couldn't help but smile as her mind drifted back to the previous day with Lorenzo. He has spent time with her, embracing her with so much affection and tenderness that left her breathless.
*ROSALIE—APARTMENT* The sun started to set as it hung below the horizon, radiating a golden shade over the city. Tinsley had just arrived home after her visit to the hospital, the weight of the day and Lucinda’s mental health had made a series of emotions stick to her. Nevertheless, she pushed them aside as she stepped into the house, knowing that the fashion party is one hour away and she needed to get ready. Tinsely made her way to her room, feeling nervous yet slightly eager to get ready for the evening's party.Just as she stepped into her room, and closed the door behind her, she felt a sense of calm blankets her. The familiar scent of her room welcomed her, mixing with the intense anticipation that filled the air. In a nick of time, Tinsely wasted no time as she hurried to the bathroom to freshen up once more. She acted swiftly, and her movements were careful yet brisk, she’d not want to be late. Lucinda's illness drained her of a lot of strength, but she knew she had to
The hall is gracefully embedded, and the party is decorated in a warm, romantic glow...Lorenzo and Tinsley stood in a corner, standing in front of each other.Tinsley was smiling prettily as she gently grabbed his hand, stroking it softly as the delicate melodies of live music crammed the atmosphere. Her eyes sparkled with mixed feelings, curiosity, anticipation, and excitement. "You promised me a gift, Lorenzo, you said you wanted to give me, where is it?” Lorenzo's heart skipped a beat and raced, his palms became sweaty. He had been dreading this moment, uncertain of how to reveal the secret to her. Lorenzo’s eyes shifted nervously as he searched aimlessly for the right words to say.Lorenzo breathes out shakily, so shakily Tinsley has never seen him this edgy. “Uhm... Tinsley, there's something very important I need to tell you," his voice was slightly intense as he began. "I wanted to... to give you a gift, trust me, but I lied, there was something I need to tell you.” “Wh
