There was shuffling on the other end of the line and then she heard the dull thud of a closing door. Finally, Gab spoke, concern lacing her tone,"What's wrong, sweetie? Did he hurt you?" She sniffled, shaking her head then remembered Gab couldn't see her, "No, not physically anyway."There was a drawn-out sigh before her friend responded, "What's going on?"Maya plopped on the bed, grabbed a nearby pillow and placed it on her thighs. She contemplated the words in her head, wondering if she was simply overreacting. It could be the high from the sex that was working,She wasn't even sure anymore."Maya?" She groaned, tugging at her hair, her scalp protesting in response, "I lied last night, I didn't hook up with some random dude I found in the bar. I went back with him." "I know," Gab answered and she furrowed her brows together."You know?"Gab's low and amused chuckle met her ears, "Of course, we grew up together girl! I know you more than you think and I sure as hell knew you did
"STOP!"Maya's eyes flew open at the noise, her vision was blurry due to the darkness in the room and she groaned tiredly rubbing at her eyes. When she blinked, the room came into a clearer view,"Stop, please!" She shifted to her right, startled to see Alex kicking his limbs in the air. Panic gripped her chest and she shot to a sitting position,"Alex?" She tapped at his biceps but he only growled, pumping his fist even harder, "Alex, Wake up!" "NOOOO!" He shoved her away with an arm and she yelped in shock, tumbling from the bed as her back made contact with the ground. Maya coughed and rubbed at her sore arm. What in the world was going on? She gingerly rose to her feet, eyeing Alex as he continued to wrestle on the bed. What was wrong with him?He'd seemed fine a few hours ago, after their hot couch sex, he carried her into his room where they continued. They'd gone on until eventually, fatigue hit them and she didn't even realize when they'd fallen asleep, He let out a guttu
"When do you think they'll open?"Gabrielle asked for the umpteenth time and Maya rubbed her eyes with the heel of a palm. Most people in the queue had resorted to sitting on the concrete, others had brought sleeping bags and foldable chairs. She flipped her wrist, eyes checking the time on the silver watch,"In about ten minutes?" Gab groaned, falling back on the floor and grabbing the roots of her hair, "I don't think I can stay out here for another five minutes."Maya snorted, shaking her head in amusement, "We've been here since last night, what's five minutes more?" She handed Gab the flask in her hold which she gratefully accepted."My ass is freezing, bitch," Gab grumbled under her breath, gingerly taking a sip from the flask. They'd been here since last night waiting for the release of an exclusive ring light, today was the official sale-off and it was going to be at a fifty per cent discount, plus they would be getting a free stand along with it and a picture with the mode
She was tall.That was the first thing Maya noticed about the blonde. Tall, shapely and a perfect skin to match. She sauntered forward, her hips swaying from side to side. Maya remained rooted in her spot as the model came to a halt just a few feet away from her,She had to crane her neck a little so that she could get a better look. The blonde eyed her with a narrowed gaze, ruby lips pursed tightly,She leaned forward, her mouth just shy of Maya's ear, "I don't like you. Your very presence annoys me so I'll just say this once," Maya turned her head slightly to the side, "Stay away from my boyfriend. Xander is mine, he has always been and he will always be. You are just a temporary thing, once he's done with you he'll throw you away like trash. So save yourself the heartache and end it before he does, because trust me when he does end it, it won't be pretty." She straightened back, patting my cheeks softly, "You're a smart woman, I trust you to do the right thing."She stalked off, he
She closed the door behind her, twisting the knob so it locked. She strolled into the large office, eyes darting around the area,Alex was seated behind his desk, a reading glass perched on his nose. He looked up when she stopped in front of his desk. He didn't appear surprised to see her so she guessed he must have heard their conversation out front. "Maya, what a lovely surprise." He smiled and then stretched a hand to the chair beside her, "Please, take a seat.""Thank you but I'll stand." He rose a brow at that, dark eyes watching her tentatively. Maya swallowed, her fingers fiddling with the strap of her bag,Don't let him see that you're nervous. She repeated the mantra in her head several times before nodding.He dropped the pen he was holding and steepled his long fingers together, "To what do I owe this visit?" Looking at him now, his dark eyes smouldering and intense, she felt the urge to jump on him and beg him to take her against the desk. Her pussy clenched at the thou
Maya had to take a cab back home, and when she got back, she was stunned to see Gab sitting cross-legged on the floor, ring light and tripod stand in hand,"Hey babe," She greeted warmly, kicking off her shoes.Gab smiled in acknowledgement, her brown curls were styled in a high bun, some stray curls hanging around her face, "Someone's in a good mood."Maya chuckled softly, plopping on the space beside her. "I guess." She grabbed the stand from Gab, examining it closely, "We hit the jackpot with this one, I don't think I regret sleeping on that hard concert throughout the night and nearly freezing my ass off."Gab snorted, twisting the ring light from side to side, "Don't forget the mosquitoes, they were horrible too." Maya shuddered, rubbing her arms at the memory, "Yeah, the mosquitoes were the worst part."They got to work, unboxing the other parts of the ring light and she noticed how Gabrielle kept shooting her curious glances,Maya sighed, shifting her weight so that they were
The entire ride was awkward and painfully quiet. She kept picking at her nails, eyes remained fixed on the dark nail polish. They were ridding southeast, towards the more fancy part of town, passing by different expensive-looking houses with a little garden in front and a small picket fence surrounding it. Finally, the car stopped,Maya's eyes went wide as she took in the large building in front of her. It sort of reminded her of a medieval castle, rather than wood, the owner opted for bricks instead. The towering metal gate made a buzzing sound before it gave way and Alex skillfully drove in. "Wow," She whispered in awe, taking in the grandiosity of the driveway. There was a giant fountain with sparkling lights surrounding it, the structure of Cupid was bold in the center as it spat out water into the pool.She was entranced. Maya had only seen places like this in books and movies, never in her life did she expect she would see it in reality. She suddenly had the urge to take a pict
No one said anything for a moment. Not when they were all too busy staring at themselves. Maya felt like digging a hole and burying herself in it, she'd never quite understood the expression before, not until now."Um, H-hi!" She did another awkward wave and somebody scoffed. Her eyes fell on the culprit and she frowned,It was a young girl, she loomed to be about seventeen or so. Her luscious hair was as dark as night and she had a stark resemblance to her brother. But that wasn't what caught her attention, it was the fact that the said girl was seating in a wheelchair,The girl seemed to notice her line of sight because she rolled her eyes in aggravation. "Who the fuck is this? Another one of your many accomplishments?" "Cora!" The woman screamed reproachfully. "What!"The real Mrs Grey sighed and rose to her feet, turning to face Maya, "I apologize on behalf of my daughter, she's not always like this. I'm Esther Grey," She stretched out a hand,Mays quickly crossed the room, gi
