The lights were dim, with a warm hue.

A few candles positioned strategically around the restaurant helped to light up the place and give it a nice rustic ambiance.

The soft, jazzy piano playing in the background mixed with the clinking of silverware against dinnerware complimented the romantic atmosphere of the diner.

Various savoury and mouthwatering aroma filled every corner of the restaurant.

“You didn’t tell me this was a date.” Aria said.

She rolled her eyes and gave him an unamused look as they sat down at their reserved table.

Arthur had picked her up at her house earlier in the evening, and they drove about 30 minutes to get to ‘nourriture délicieuse’, a fancy French restaurant located in the city.

“It’s not a date.”

“It’s just my way of making up for the incident earlier.”

Arthur put on a sad face.

“I’ve told you already. You don’t need to apologise for anything.”

“I know... I know...” Arthur interrupted.

“You said that. But just accept it anyway.”

“Fine.” Aria said with a de

    Aria was speechless. She didn’t want to be anybody’s girlfriend. That was the reason she decided not to fall in love or be in a relationship with anyone since the ‘Jeff’ incident.She was so scared of being hurt again. That made her always have her guard up. She always found a way to suppress any romantic feelings that were about to develop for any man.Besides, he just broke up with a girl recently. How was she going to be sure he won’t do the same thing to her?Of course, she knew Amelia deserved it, but still. She didn’t want to take the chance.It was just too risky. She thought.“No, I can’t do that.” She responded.“Why not?” He asked, disappointed.“Come on. I just told you that I was’’t ready to date anyone yet.”“And I don’t want to take any chances.” She frowned.“No no no...” He facepalmed in frustration.“I’m not saying we should date for real...”“It’ll just be pretend.”“Just to get all those needy girls off my back.”“Besides, there’s a lot of rumour going around that w

    Amelia was pacing agitatedly as she waited for the emergency medical personnels to arrive. It took some time for them to get there because the house was located near the outskirts of the city.When they finally arrived, Amelia pointed them to where Mr. Clark was lying motionless. They gave him oxygen and then put him on a stretcher before carrying him to the ambulance.Amelia joined them in the ambulance, and then they drove to the hospital.When they arrived at the hospital, they transferred him from the ambulance on to a bed, then the nurses came out and wheeled him into the emergency room where they admitted him.Amelia followed closely behind them.The doctor administered CPR and told the nurse to prep him up for thrombolysis.They requested Amelia to wait outside the ER as they began their treatment.She went to the lobby to wait, but was too restless to even sit for long.She stood up and paced for a while.

    Amelia finished making breakfast after the phone call with the manager of the retail store. She made pancakes. She ate hers and packed some to take to the hospital for her dad.Mr. Clark was really the only person who could make Amelia put an effort into something.Basically, she knows nothing about the kitchen. But the thought of leaving her dad starving made her try her best to prepare something for him to eat.Amelia loved her dad so much, probably because they had so much in common.Mr. Clark was a no nonsense man. He never took shit from anybody. Especially when he was still rich.Amelia had to watch cooking videos on yutube to learn how to make those pancakes.They turned out quite well, surprisingly.After eating, she was too lazy to clean up the kitchen, so she left it dirty.I guess you can’t really make a person love chores overnight.She got to the hospital in about 30 minutes and went to her dad’s room straight away.She rushed in for a hug as entered the room and saw him

    It’s morning already?Just a little more sleep...Amelia wiggled around on the bed. She was so tired because she had spent the whole day yesterday at the hospital with her dad, waiting for him to come out of the operating room.When the VAD procedure was over, she had to stay back a while to take care of Mr. Clark and give him food.She ended up staying at the hospital until 11pm before going back home. Even when she got back home, she still had to freshen up. So she slept very late.This would have been the best morning to sleep in, and make up for her lack of proper sleep in the last few days.Unfortunately, she was expected to be at the retail store on time to start her first day.Well, at least she now has a sense of responsibility. So she fought back the urge to remain in bed for a longer time.She stretched her body a little. A long yawn followed, then she stood up to prepare for work.She finished getting ready on time and arrived at work early.The manager, Mr. Maxwell, showed

    The customer started to explain what happened to the manager. She rushed to explain first so that she could exaggerate as much as she wanted and still sound believable.“You need to fire this bitch.

She paced around in agitation and brought out her phone to call the police.Mr. Maxwell quickly dashed towards her to calm her down.“Hold on, ma’am, you don’t need to do that.”“Let’s just find a way to settle this without making a big deal out of it.” Mr. Maxwell said, patting her on her shoulder and gesturing for her to put the phone down.She eventually succumbed, then Mr. Maxwell asked her calmly, “Now, can you tell me what happened? So we can find a way to resolve it.”The manager was a very gentle man. He was able to diffuse the whole situation calmly without any casualties.The lady began her explanation. “This fucking cashier charged my twice for one item, and when I confronted her about it she starte

    The journey to Lucy’s house sprung up memories in Amelia's head. She had not been around there for a long time. Amelia had some feelings of nostalgia as she plied through the route to Lucy’s house.She poked her head through the window of the cab to catch a feeling of the gush of air in the affluent neighborhood.She missed this part of town very much.Something about this place hits differently. Well, why shouldn’t it?There were no dumps by the roadside. The buildings were majestic and luxurious. The cars you would find around here were expensive and flashy.Amelia had almost gotten used to the grotesque scenery that was now part of her daily routine back home.The old cars, the rickety buildings, even the people that lived around there were haggard and impoverished. She was sick of it.Few minutes later, she arrived at the gate to Lucy’s house.She waved at the security guard on duty as she walked into the compound. The security guard merely narrowed his eyes at her briefly in conf

    She slowly opened her eyes, and it could only form a blurry image. Her head was still aching intensively from the hard hit to the head that she received earlier.She still could not reconstruct in her head what had happened to her. She didn’t even know what time or day it was or how long ago it has been since she blacked out.From the grave silence she noticed around, it seemed like there was no one else in the room, or should I say, the shack. It was a log cabin, and it looked old and abandoned.Some parts of the floor had broken off. Even the wooden walls were missing some of their pieces. You could see the thin rays of the morning sunlight seeping through the cracks in the walls.Aria could hear the sounds of birds chirping in the distance, to suggest that she was possibly in the woods.The excess humidity, and petrichor mixed with the musky scent of trees in the air, further confirmed her suspicions that she was in the woods.“How did I get here?” she wondered.Her vision slowly b

    As soon as the men drove off, the first thing that came to Aria’s mind was to find somewhere to relieve herself of the urine she had been holding in for a long time.She went behind a shrub by the corner, pulled down her pants and urinated. She immediately felt a sensation of relief as she expelled her body fluids.It was already sundown, so there were only a few vehicles on the road. Aria needed to find a way to get home fast, or she may have to sleep out here for another night. And that wouldn’t be funny at all. Considering the fact that there was no shelter around, she would have to sleep under the open sky. What if there were wild animals around?After musing on what may become of her if she didn't get home this night, she thought about whether to start walking. Maybe the city wasn’t too far from here. She thought.Then suddenly, the real problem hit her. She discovered that she didn’t even know what way she would take to get to the city.She was unconscious when they brought her

    Although Mr. Clark didn’t show it, he wasn’t happy with what his daughter had become. He’d never imagined that his daughter would one day be a part of his criminal escapades—the part of his life that he’d previously sworn never to go back to. I guess fate has a way of completely shitting on our plans.He worked so hard so that his family would not be caught in the web of his terrible atrocities. Obviously, Mr. Clark had done a lot of evil things in his day, but he no longer wanted to be that man any longer. Deep down, he wanted to be free. He wanted to raise up his daughter in the right way. But somehow, in the end, our nemesis always tends to catch up with us no matter what.Amelia and Mr. Johnson toured the facilities that afternoon as Amelia brought him up to speed with the latest developments in the business.“Do you want to see the newly renovated meth labs?” Amelia asked her father enthusiastically.

They said goodbye to all the nurses they met on their way that took care of him while he was in admitted.Then, they headed to the parking lot where Amelia pressed the key fob, and an expensive Rollz royse lit up."Who owns that car?" Mr. Clark asked surprised."It's ours." Amelia smiled, and went ahead to open the car door for him. Mr. Clark hesitated, but later went in with her.Maybe it belonged to one of her friends... Mr. Clark speculated as Amelia turned on the ignition, and they drove off.They drove for twenty-five minutes until Mr Clark realized that Amelia was driving the wrong way.This wasn't the way to their house...

    Aria arrived home and took out her stuff from the car and took them inside.Arthur was working on his laptop in the living room when Aria walked in with the box in her hand. "Hi, babe. Are you back?""Yes babe." She replied in a low voice. Arthur noticed her coldness and asked. "Do you need any help? Are you okay?"She nodded her head slightly, but Arthur didn't believe her, because she still seemed distant. He put the laptop away and went to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her lips gently."Come on, talk to me. You look troubled." he looked into her eyes."Don't worry, I'm fine." she said."Really??""Yes, really." she replied.Arthur gave her a suspicious stare for some seconds, then he leaned her over and picked her up bridal style.She gasped in fear as her feet went up in the air so suddenly. Arthur spun her around in the air, and screamed loudly as she gradually got dizzy."I'm not putting you down until you tell me what the problem is." Arthur said while sp

    After her ordeal with Amelia, Aria decided to go home directly, without hesitation. Initially, she had planned to stop by her old house to get her stuff, but was too stunned to do it after her encounter with Amelia. So she went home and decided to go the next day.In the morning, when she woke up, she quickly got dressed and made her way to the house early. She wanted to finish cleaning out everything and selecting the stuff she would keep.Actually, she did not intend to keep most of her stuff, because they were old. Moreover, she’s living with a billionaire now, and is already on her way to becoming one herself. So she planned to throw some stuff away, and give some of her furniture and other things to her neighbors.Soon, she got to the apartment, and everything seemed so different. The entire place was littered with barrier tape that read, ‘crime scene do not enter’.According to Arthur, the cops had finished collecting all the evidence they needed for the investigation, so she wo

    The next day, Aria got dressed and set out to find Amelia. She didn’t know where to start her search from, because she has never been to her house, and she didn’t even have her phone number.She was all dressed up and ready to leave, but she was stuck. She didn’t even know where she was going yet. Then suddenly, a thought hit her. She knew she couldn’t ask for Amelia’s phone number from Arthur, because he would get suspicious. So she decided to get it discreetly.Arthur was already all dressed up and ready to go to work when she met him in the room. “Babe, can I use your phone?” she asked him.“Sure babe.” He took a break from putting on his shoes and handed the phone over to her.Thankfully, Arthur isn’t a secretive boyfriend, else he wouldn’t let Amelia be using his phone without supervision.She already knew his password, so she just unlocked it and went to his contacts. She clicked on the search icon and typed in ‘Amelia,’ but nothing came up. He had already deleted and blocked he

    After Arthur had shot his hot load of cum into her mouth, she swallowed everything and licked up the remaining cum that was dripping on the tip of his cock, not letting any drop fall to the floor.After swallowing Arthur’s cum, she rose from the floor and crawled up on the bed and sat on Arthur’s lap.“I didn’t know you were such a bad girl...” Arthur said with a smirk as she lowered her head to give him a kiss.“I’m your bad girl.” Aria lowered her head and gave him a kiss, with her mouth all sticky with cum. They snuggled up on the bed for minutes, kissing. Then Arthur flipped her over and got on top.His cock eventually regained its girth after going limp from the first orgasm. Then he slid her panties down her legs, and smoothly inserted his cock into her already wet pleasure hole, making her moan softly as he penetrated her.After the first thrust, he began a slow back-and-forth movement, pumping his massive dick into her vagina.The motion slowly graduated to a faster rhythm wit

    While they were still in the garage, Aria jumped on Arthur, locking her legs around his waist.Arthur laughed, trying to steady himself on his feet. He wraps his hands around her curvy ass to hold her weight. The cool breeze brushes against their faces, making their hair flow in the wind’s direction.Aria kisses him twice, on his forehead and on his lips. “I love you.” She says, with a smile.Arthur blushed. “I love you more.” then he returns the kiss.She rests her head in the crook of his neck like a baby, and Arthur carries her inside the building.As they reach the living room, he drops her on her feet, and they stare into each other’s eyes for a long minute. Arthur raises his hand and caresses her cheek. Aria leans forward and gives him a short, wet kiss. They pause for a moment, gazing into each other’s soul, then they draw closer and suck each other’s lips off.Arthur nibbles on her upper lip, while Aria plays with his lower lip. They kiss for a long time, then she feels his bo

    As Arthur and Aria sat on the hospital bed making out, all perception of reality completely faded from their minds. Their bodies vibrated at intervals as they fanned each other's face with their warm breathes.The feeling was just so extra-ordinary. Captivated by the deep clouds of ecstasy they created. Lost in the void of erotic euphoria. Trapped in the prisons of blissful lust.Their tongues wriggled in each other's mouth, seeking for dominance, as their lips softly crushed against each other.Unfortunately, their trip to cloud nine was cut short by a knock on the door. "Hellooo...." Liam knocked twice before wrenching the door handle open, and walking in on the two love birds making out."grrrrr..." Liam grunted. "Here we go again." he facepalmed.They broke their kiss abruptly, and smoothened the invisible wrinkles on their clothes."Couldn't you at least allow her some time to remember what the world looks like, before sticking your tongue down her throat?" he grabbed a chair by

    Arthur was seated on his usual spot by Aria's bed side, like he has done everyday for the past nine days. He was basically living at the hospital.He never wanted to leave her. He would sit beside her everyday, watching her, and caressing her hands, as she lay comatose."Dude, you need to get some rest." Liam would say whenever he came into the room and found Arthur sitting quietly beside her. Often, he would decline. Reason being that he can't leave her to be alone all by herself.Not until after Liam would offer to stay and watch her, would he leave the room to go and eat, have a bath, and freshen up.After being in coma for over a week, on the ninth day, Arthur was beside her as usual when he noticed her hands twitch.The electroencephalogram (EEG) machine attached to Aria's head to monitor her, also changed the frequency of it's beeping, to indicate normal brain activity.As soon as Arthur noticed some micro-movements in her body for the first time since the coma, he quickly ran o
