2021-01-18 01:57:36An older version of Markus both female and male versions are looking at me with wide eyes.
They were both wearing clothes that looked as old as the day that I had been born. Clothes whose colors are now light, probably because it had been washed for who knows how many times already. They were behind a desk that is positioned like a huge L. The older male version of Markus was on the other end, holding a cup of coffee, and was just about to drink it if we haven’t entered. Meanwhile, on the other end of the desk was the older female version of Markus, she was perching cat eyeglasses up her nose, her ear pressed to a telephone.
“Son,” The older male version of Markus who I’m assuming is his father asked. “Not that I’m happy you visited, but why are you here?”

It might have been the phone his mother was holding that was thrown first.I’m not entirely sure.All I know was that there was a blur of items that had been thrown directed at Markus’s side. All coming from his mother who was shouting profanities at him using a language I didn’t understand. It was a thick accent and I wonder why I haven’t realized it before when she had been talking to us.Slowly, I scoot my chair to the farthest side away from him.“Y-you?!” His mother screeched, grabbing something – a notebook – towards his direction again. Markus had gone from an adult man into a toddler because he hid behind the chair, peeking his head every now and then, checking

Maria approached me hesitantly, her hand falling on my shoulder.“Don’t say that, dear.” She whispers low enough so only I could hear. “A child is never a mistake. Be careful how you speak, the child can hear you.”I shake my head, “No, it can’t. I’m barely five weeks. As of the moment, it’s really just a clump of cells.”I know, I’ve searched it.Like she didn’t even hear me, she suddenly grabbed the seat that her son was seating at moments ago. She positioned it in a way that it was now facing me and sat down. Maria leans down her elbows on my knees, and started scrolling through her phone. Everything was so awkward that I only managed to suck

The calendar stared at me with disdain.I could feel the panic slowly rising within me and I closed my eyes trying to push it away. But to no avail, I started thinking, and that’s always when the trouble begins.Moments ago, after I brisk walked my way from the restaurant all the way back here in my apartment, I decided to update my calendar. Much like my pink binder full of coupons and vouchers, my calendar is always updated and scheduled to a tee.The past few months were colored and had different shades of circles. Not to mention my social events seemed to have taken most of my time, especially during weekends in my shifts at Ardere. There was that time I had drinks with Keira and Holly Trinity when she wasn’t being a bitch. There was also a time I atten

The money I have left isn’t much, but it’s something.Still, it’s a lot less than what I usually had. I’ve been skipping too much work and luckily, I paid my tuition in advance. The rent’s coming soon, and I was forcing myself not to think about it because I wasn’t really in a position to stress myself out right now. The money’s only enough for Mexi and me, I can’t add another life form in t

He closed his eyes, letting his head fall on the steering wheel.I could hear him murmuring something under his breath and knowing Markus, I could tell it was probably calculations about how much he could lessen from the contract I wanted him to sign. He was torn about this, that I could tell. It was like he wanted to disregard the contract I made but knew that the virtues of his clan were something that he couldn’t break. It wasn’t like I

“What is that?” I ignored his question and started placing some of my clothes inside one of the boxes I stole from the Dollar Pantry’s dumpster. They were perfectly pretty boxes and weren’t even soggy. They could be moving boxes, and no one would know any better. It didn’t even look like it was stolen.

I take two bowls of piping hot mac and cheese from outside the microwave.Markus had probably heard it and smelled the cheese because, without a word, he sits on one of the chairs that were beside the counter that separated the kitchen from the rest of the wide apartment.

Markus was talking loudly on the phone.Yawning, I push myself up. It’s either the walls were thin in his apartment or he was just talking too damn loudly. Kind of more inclined in thinking it was the latter. The dingus probably forgot I was here in the first place. My stomach rumbled, and I was just about to ignore it and go back to sleep when I remembered I was technically eating for two now, and skipping breakfast might endanger me or something.I open my door, peering slightly when it was ajar and from how I heard him, I could tell he was probably by the front door. Maybe he was deciding whether or not he should leave. Rolling my eyes, I ignore him and walk towards the kitchen.When I made the mac and cheese yesterday, I didn’t have time to check h

The Disreputable Love Transaction [EXTRA] The Wedding
My mother named me after a color I didn’t even like.I would have preferred it if she had named me Green. Green is a nice name. It’s a nice color. I love the color green. And so does my brother, Gray. He only ever showers when the shampoo is green. Green is also what I color the trees. Trees are good. Without trees, there would be no books. I couldn’t imagine what life would be without books.Or maybe I can, I just don’t want to imagine life without it.I like books. Right now, I’m reading a book on different psychological assessments. A few months ago, we moved to a place that’s far away from my mother. Sometimes I don’t like change. Change is weird, it makes me scared. This time, I liked the change. This time, I can read all the books I want and my mother won&r
The Disreputable Love Transaction [EXTRA] The Proposal
A miniature demon was inches away from my face.“Markus,” Gray whispered softly. “I have to ask you something.”It was like he was trying not to wake me up more than he already did. Groaning, I rub the back of my head. When he had woken me up by blowing warm air in my ear, I woke up flinching. My head hit my headboard, and I was afraid I might have broken it, and I wasn’t really in the mood to spend any more than I already did the past few days.“What is it?” I asked, lifting him up and placing him on my lap. The past few months have been amazing, he’d taken in a lot more weight and even though he hated it, he also started taking more showers. All we needed was changing the shampoo to the green ones that he liked. “What’s wrong, bud?”
The Disreputable Love Transaction [EPILOGUE] The Disreputable Love Transaction
It was around midnight when my sister started to fucking scream.When we had been living on the same roof, I was used to her bitching every hour of the day. She finds gum in her shoe, she bitches. She loses one of her earrings, she bitches. She figures out I ate the last fucking piece of donut. She fucking bitches. Everything she does is bitch. It came to the point where I don’t even want to come home anymore because I was missing sleep because of all the time she keeps bitching about everyone at the house.Still, for some inexplicable reason, I feel like her bitching now didn’t sound like her typical bitching.Rubbing my eyes, I yawn, pulling myself up from the couch. The television was still on when I had been watching a movie a few hours ago. Violet would probably have bitched about this too but

“Give that back to the kind gentleman, Gray.”Gray scrunched his nose up in annoyance, “No!”“Gray,” I say again, forcing a smile so that none of the other people could tell I was close to slapping the back of his head for being a brat. “Return the paper bag to the man.”“Helen said only one per person!”“We bought lots, didn’t we?” I counter, “Just give it back.”Gray mutters something under his breath once more but, he returned the paper bag to the homeless man who for sure was hiding five more bags inside of his coat. He walked by more than a few times already, I just didn’t make a comment. Hey, if we were in t
The Disreputable Love Transaction [96] No More Running
“What’s that about?” Red asked as we got out of the cab, pulling an exhausted and dozing Markus out. Thankfully, Red was with me because there was no way in hell I can carry Markus all on my own. I already had another set of weight that’s pulling me down in my belly, I can’t have the person who made the weight possible adding to the changes of my center of gravity. “What did that woman mean by contract, Violet? What was she talking about?”I say nothing. Instead, I slung my arm around Markus’s lower back, while his inner elbow settled around the back of Red’s neck. It was a good thing that his apartment was in the basement and we didn’t have to use the stairs. Thank you to whoever invented elevators!Red huffed, his voice sounding annoyed with my sudden s

“You brought a titty club?”“Red!” I hissed, covering his mouth immediately before either of the kids hear. “It’s not a titty club! I’ve never seen an uncovered breast at Ardere. Can you keep your mouth shut?”Red and Clementine got home a few hours after we prepared dinner.And Markus was yet again, working late today.He had been working late for quite a few days now that I’m starting to both get worried and annoyed. Granted, I wasn’t alone at home and he could leave me without me getting bored, it still wasn’t what I expected. Especially now that we knew what the other had felt. I thought for sure that our feelings were mutual, everything would feel different.
The Disreputable Love Transaction [94] Everything We Wished For
My therapist suggested that I should make a list.They told me that hate was a powerful word, and that it was subjective. That maybe the hate that was festering inside of me wasn’t necessarily considered as hate but more of confusion and guilt forming together. They told me that sometimes things happen beyond our control and that I shouldn’t blame myself for the choices I made along the way over things that I had no control over.Of course, I thought it was total bullshit.Still, I found myself typing names on the notes app of my phone. I was inside my room, with the door open to ease everyone’s concern. I’ve already gone and fed Mexi. It had been a long time since we spent time alone together. Markus, Scarlett, and Olive were at their jobs, Hazel was at her dorm, Red and Clementine wer
The Disreputable Love Transaction [93] Who Knew Therapy Wasn't All Just Fun And Games?
I don’t know what’s more infuriating.Maria and Maverick, who were trying to keep cool but failing horribly, while they were taking food out of paper bags. They kept glancing my way ever since I got back into Ash’s room. Or maybe it was my siblings that were more annoying. I could feel their stares on me even when they weren’t facing my direction. It was that bad.Red, Jade, and Gray were standing by Ash’s, who thankfully was knocked out cold and not blabbering crazy stuff anymore, bed. Gray was blatantly staring, whispering something to Red, while tipping his head in my direction. Red was glancing at me from the corner of his eye, and I met his gaze. When he noticed that I caught him, he placed his hand on top of Gray’s head and swiveled his face to avert his gaze.Th

Keep calm, Violet.I’ve been repeating that ever since Markus had grabbed my hand and started pulling me along behind him, walking to heaven knows where. He’s been quiet ever since we left Ash’s room. I didn’t miss the way that Maria and Maverick were throwing glances at the both of us as we left. Hell, even Red was giving me a knowing look and it’s Red we’re talking about. He couldn’t even care less about my girly problems.I was in such a state, it took me a long time to figure out just where exactly we were going. We’ve passed the hospital park where we had the talk a few days ago. And it doesn’t really look like we’re going to where his car was parked. My hands were getting clammy and he still hasn&rsquo
