I watch Antonio and Charlie leave and I close the door behind them. With a sigh, I collapse on the couch and switch the big screen in the wall on. Everything that's playing sucks so I switch my phone on and it's flooded with texts.
Devil in human form: Did you manage to meddle your pretty ass into his life yet?
- It's been a whole week Lotus, how much more fucking time do you need! Remember your life's in my hands.
- Time is running out beautiful flower.
I don't reply to any of his texts knowing he already has somebody following me around to see if I'm doing as he instructed. I see that an unknown number texted me.
Unknown: Hey Lotus.
L: Uhm hi? Who's this?
Unknown: It's Jake, the guy you went to school with. Remember?
Oh, sweet cakes! It's Jake, the guy I had a crush on for four years straight and all we ever did was talk. He never knew I had a crush on him and I know you are probably wondering why I had a crush on one guy for four years of my college life.
Pretty simple really, never had the guts to tell him I liked him and he was the only one who caught my eye, and I so happen to be more of a keep to myself person.
Jake was or still is hot, he had an athletic body and was smart. Yeah, he's hot but Antonio is freaking gorgeous! Argh, shut up.
L: Of course! How've you been?
J: I've been great. Just been thinking of you lately.
Thinking of me? Somebody is playing a prank on me for sure!
L: Oh? What have you been up to since graduation? Geez Lo! You're really great with this!
J: Well, I got an internship with some company, you?
L: Oh, uhm life just decided to dump all its rubbish on me so it's kinda been hell, nothing much you know.
J: I heard about what happened with your dad. I'm so sorry.
The last thing I need is sympathy, I hate it when somebody feels sorry for me
L: Thanks. It's not your fault though, don't stress about it
J: If you need anyone I'm here for you. We could go out for drinks sometime yeah?
L: Sure! Definitely. Yeah right! That's a lie right there Lo!
J: Can I call you? Why?
L: Now?
J: Yeah, that's if you can...
I'm not ready to talk to him, think of an excuse quickly!
L: I'm with my uncle and his wife, it's kind of rude to be on the phone when they're here. Already taking a risk lol.
J: That's okay, laters Lotus.
L: Bye.
Couldn't you add a bit of hearts Lo? What for? Your heart isn't beating like it does when Antonio is near you. Shut it about Antonio already!
A knock on the door ends the conversation I was having with my conscience. I walk over to the door and open it slightly to find a gorgeous tall woman standing there in a coat.
"Who are you?" She snarled out. Did you forget he said you shouldn't open the door?
"Who are you?" I asked back with a smile that didn't meet my eyes
"I'm Jesse, what are you doing in Tony's house?" Tony?
"What are you doing in Antonio's house?" I answered back, I honestly did not see why I should answer her questions, she rolled her eyes and pushed her way inside.
"He's my boyfriend," She put her hand on her hip and gave me a challenging stare.
"Okay," I shrugged my shoulders and went to my room, leaving her there. I told you he could never like a person like me. You're not giving yourself a chance. Did you see her!? Totally the opposite of me.
Skinny, tall, gorgeous, model body, silky long hair! Something that I don't have so you could stop trying to trick me!
FUCK! The one instruction he gave me, I forgot to follow!
I end up texting Jake asking him to call me, we talk almost the whole night, after the call, I head to the kitchen to get a bottle of water when Antonio struts into his house with so many different scents, hmm probably went to a club. I quickly ran away not wanting him to see me.
I watch him as he picks up the blonde and kisses her, sexually? He pulled her by her hair and bit down on her neck and she screamed.
"Didn't I tell you to not come back!?" He gritted out and carried on with his assault on her neck.
"But baby you..." She whined and was cut off.
"I told you not to call me baby Jesse! What are you doing here?" He put her on the island and ripped off her coat hissing as he saw whatever it was she was wearing. Nothing! Eew Ant I cook there!
"Like what you see daddy? She purred, opening her legs wider for him.
"Yesss. On your knees now," Well, that was rude of him but quite funny. Wait, why I'm I still watching them? This is disgusting but something about his dominating aura makes it sexy and hard to look away. Look away Lotus!
He gets on his knees and unzips his jeans, he spanks Jesse a few times and thrust his fingers into her pussy, she was a moaning mess and I wished I was her right now. He seems to know what he's doing...and I'm still watching?
I watch him roll the condom onto his dick and thrust into Jesse without a warning. She screamed in pain but moaned out in pleasure, I watched him slam into her without giving her a chance to breathe. He carried on spanking her flat ass and she moaned every time.
I turn around and put my hand against my chest trying to calm down my heart, I’m so disgusted by myself right now...but what the fuck!
"Separate your ass cheeks for me slut!" Did he just call her slut? Maybe it's a thing they do, some sort of kink?
I rushed back to my room and closed it softly, climbing on my bed. I stared at the ceiling and reflected on what just happened.
Lotus I am disgusted by your behaviour tonight young lady! I am too! I can't believe I just did that!
But did you see the way he thrust into her? He was so rough and dominating, just like your erotica books.
Yeah but nothing about all of that had love in it, it was just sex and I don't want that at all, I want it full of love even if it's rough, I want it to have love in it.
You are reading way too many books, Lo.
Maybe I am. I drop my head on my pillow and close my eyes in an attempt to sleep but I can't because all I hear is moaning and grunting. Somebody is having fun... Lotus stop!
"Swallow all of it bitch!" I hear Antonio's voice boom through the silence, that sounded hot! Flipping hell I think everything he does is hot. From the way, he slowly blinks his eyes when I tell him off.
Or the way he subconsciously licked his lips when he was staring at my boobs and how he walked back to his desk to hide the hard-on. I noticed everything he did and it was hot, but I'm not for him.
"Get dressed and go," I heard him talk again.
"Baby who's the girl that's here?" She asked in a small voice and suddenly I heard wheezing.
"I told you not to call me baby and not to come here. This is the last time I'll ever tell you, do you hear me, Jesse!?" He growled out and I feared for her life, although I couldn't see them but the way his voice came out, it sounded dangerous.
"You're hurting me, Tony," She wheezed out.
"Go," He said in a low voice and I heard the door shut. His footsteps could be heard climbing the stairs and stopping at my door.
Did he stop at my door? Please pass! The door opens slowly and I even out my breath as if I'm sleeping, keep calm Lo. Keep calm.
He closes the door and walks away to his room, closing it. I turn on my back and release a breath. That was way too close.
I get out of my bed and groan, stretching my muscles. I walk to my bathroom and take a shower, brush my teeth and get dressed in sweatpants without a shirt I walk downstairs and I'm whiffed with the smell of food, I groan out forgetting I had a girl living with me now. I find her in the kitchen dancing to a song, mostly her ass. I smirk as an idea comes up and I walk up to her caging her between me and the island, pressing myself on her ass and she gasps. "What are you doing?" She stuttered out breathing heavily, you sure do got it with all the ladies Antonio. I skimmed my nose along her neck and sniffed, Eucalyptus. Nice "So... you like to watch," I said biting her ear lobe.
"So that's your uncle?" Jake muttered after Antonio went upstairs. Jake had gotten here an hour before Ant and we've been seated on the couch since catching up. "Yup. My grumpy uncle," I said looking away, I had to think about something on the spot and uncle was the best I could do. "And that's his girlfriend?" I nodded again, "Rather we carry on with us?" He asked again and I grinned "Please," There was a moment of silence after I said that. "I don't know why I never had the guts to approach you in school," He said and my head snapped to him. "Wait what?" I spoke out after looking at him for the longest time ever and he chuckled, shifting closer to me and twirling his finger around my braid.
"Nevermind." She squealed bolting out of my office. She must've ran so quickly because I heard her door slamming closed. She probably locked her bedroom as well.I look at the broken pen in my hand and sigh running my fingers through my her, now I've got to clean up all this mess. How the hell did she find out about Stacey... Stacey.After cleaning up the mess I made I tried so hard to concentrate on my work but was very unsuccessful. I retired to my bedroom but first going to Lotus's bedroom.I knock and hear no response, I open the door slightly and see she's deep in sleep. Her one leg. Is hanging over the bed and one arm is covering her eyes. Messy sleeper.I close her bedroom door and head to mine closing the door. I sit on my bed and release a heavy breath, today has been a drag honestly and irritating as well. I guess the good thing about today is that I had a break-through with the case.I allow sleep to consume me...another dreamless night.°I groan out as the alarm brings me
What the hell just happened! No ways, no fricking ways. Let's recap all of this, I might be still dreaming...nope, not dreaming. Ouch, why did I pinch myself?So I basically avoided him for a whole week because I was scared he pissed at me for going through his stuff. And when he finally catches me in the act of avoiding him, he took my virginity.Hard, raw and fast. It was incredible! And painful but it was incredible! I have never in my life felt such immense pleasure and would definitely want to do it again.Does that mean he likes me? Does that mean he wants me too? Or was he just looking for relief and I was the closest thing. But he has Jesse for all of that, come on Lo think positive! Ant looks like a person who knows what he wants.And he wants you?Well, the more I think of it, things did go a bit too quickly.The now cold water brings me out of my thoughts and out of the tub. I wrap a towel around my body and wal
"Hey, Jake. What do you say I take you on that offer for drinks?""Sure. Say 6?""Can you come fetch me now?""Be there soon."I found myself wiping a stray tear well, I guess rejection does hurt, although that was totally indirect but still. Fuck him!I go upstairs into my room and find something to wear, well this is going to be tough considering I don't really have dresses but I can totally mash something up.I find my long-forgotten tight black high-waist leather pants and a black see-through crop hemp and a black jean jacket, for shoes I wore my black heels. This outfit was really dark, just like my mood. But in conclusion, I just really love black.I apply my matte Maroon lipstick and some mascara, I don't know why dad ever bought me such things, I guess he always knew the time would come when I would be a girl... because of a fucking guy. Wise old fool.I finish my business and walk downstairs and find the co
I wake up to somebody harshly speaking over the phone and look around the room. This isn't my room and my head hurts so much!Charlie appears with a scowl on his face but he is shirtless, oh no please don't tell me I slept with..."No, we didn't. Relax." He must've noticed my panic, "How are you feeling?" He asked as he sat on the edge of the bed."Like shit. You look pissed." I said and he sighed running his fingers through his hair."Come on, let's go eat." He got up from the bed and extended his hand towards me."May I please freshen up first?" I asked and he hit his forehead with his hand."Of course I'm sorry, the bathrooms right over there. On the left cupboard, there's extra towels and brushes. And I'm sure you can find your way to the kitchen right?""Yeah, thank you." I said and headed to his bathroom."And I'll put some extra clothes on the bed for you, I took yours off after you vomited at night." My breath imm
"Good morning." She whispered taking a sip of whatever was in her mug as I walked into the kitchen. I looked at her, then the bruises on her cheek and neck. I did that to her.I grabbed a bottle of water clenching my jaw, I walked away, "Good morning to you too." She mumbled under her breath, "jackass." I broke out into a grin and looked at her."Heard that Fiore." "Then why are you ignoring me?" She asked and I sighed."Because I'm angry.""At me? I'm sorry I went out and got punched." she pointed to her left cheek like it was nothing."It's not that but it is also that," I said and she snapped her fingers."Oh! It's because I kissed Charlie!" She said as if she figured something out, well she did. I'm really pissed she kissed Charlie after I told him to stay away from her."It's because I strangled you Lotus! I put my hands on you and every time you'd tell me to stop I would add more pressure and I-..." "Ant, calm down. Come on breath, breath for me." "Stacey! Stacey." A bucket of
I get out of the Uber that dropped me off at Charlie's house, I walk numbly to his door and knock twice before he opens and welcomes me with a sad smile. "You know you've been sitting on that couch staring at the same wall for over an hour, " Charlie said to me and I looked at him giving him a small smile. He sighed and sat down next to me pulling me to his side, "What did he say to you?" "That I'm nothing to him," I sighed and he growled. "I'm basically a nobody to him and he didn't care, but he gave me a job though. Considerate isn't he?" "He just wants to keep an eye on you. He's trying to control you Lotus." I hummed in response. "It doesn't matter anymore really. I'm going to bed," I got up from the couch and looked at Charlie, "Do you think yo
So I lost the bet, Johnny the big guy didn't win against the small guy and I was hurt, to say the least. "So are you ready?" Antonio whispered cockily in my ear and I frowned, following Johnny with my eyes, I will get him later. Where in the world has the big guy ever lost against the smaller one! Where!? Nodding my head trying to seem confident yet I was crapping myself, I wasn't ready for anything but a bet is a bet and I will keep my end of the bargain and carry out with the bet, I'm no wimp. "You know, it's okay if you don't want to," he said as we walked together hand in hand. "No!" I shouted and cleared my throat, "I mean I want to," I nodded my head trying to convince him but all I was doing was convincing myself even more. "Okay then, you will love it!" He exclaimed and I pressed my lips together and slowly followed him to our room, "Wait we have to eat." "Yes! Totally agree, I'm starving, I'll go make us food," I rushed to turn around but he caught me by my waist. “Tha
"Good morning Mrs Rossi," a voice whispered in my ear and I pushed his face away from me, mumbling a pained no. "Come on, it's time to wake up." "But I don't want to, leave me alone please," I turned my body away from him and the idiot seemed to follow me. Sticking his wet finger into my ear I jumped out of the bed and looked at him horrified. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I shouted at him and he laughed looking at me. "Come on, you promised to watch them today," he said walking over to me with his arms open for me, walking right into the hug I wrapped my arms around his waist and his hands touched the edge of his shirt before grabbing my ass. "They're not kids Ant, they will be just fine," I mumbled sleepily against his chest and he moved my hands from his waist wrapping them around his neck, picking me up as he walked us into the bathroom. "A promise is a promise Fiore," he said, sitting me down on the countertop as he opened the shower for me. "But there's always next ti
Antonio stood at the altar waiting for his bride to be, officially and right this time to come out. He too couldn't believe that the day had finally arrived and they were both ready to settle down so quickly together and yet surprisingly they were both more than ready for this change. It wasn't really a change considering that they had been living together for a long time and they had already been technically married just without Lotus knowing but now they had to do it in front of everyone this time and with her clear knowledge that it was happening. Antonio stood staring ahead at the door Lotus was supposed to come out of, which she hadn't yet and it made him feel nervous and panicky, that's why he had sent Charlie to go get her and Tiffany. They weren't late per se, but he just wanted to see her and hold her. He heard a noise that sounded like cheering on and he wondered what it was all about, the doors bursting open and causing everyone to look at them, out came Charlie and Tiff

The preparations for this day were stressful and fun at the same time, having my best friend or should I say my sister here to help me was a huge relief! Sitting on the bed together I watched her as she tried to fit her gown but it wouldn't get past her hips. "You have been gaining a lot of weight these days Tiff," I commented paging through the book she brought for me to get back in the mode of reading hardcover books, and so far? Still not interested, which is crazy cause I remember how much I used to love them when I was a kid. Oh well, I guess growing up changes a lot of things. "Yeah, I think I've been eating quite a lot." "Out with it Tiff, you pregnant?" I asked her closing the book and looking at her, her head dropped and she slowly nodded. "Why were you quiet about it?" "I didn't want to seem careless when I told you the news after you had just...you know," she said in a small voice and I frowned. "I'm sorry Lotus, it wasn't even my intention to get-" stopping her with a
After months of having to attend therapy sessions, eleven torturous months of sitting in front of Dr Meyer and telling her all about my problems and how I feel, it has been absolute hell and I am very happy that this is my last session with her. At first, I never opened up about anything and would always fire back her questions to her, for example, she would ask me 'how do you feel about that?' and I would answer her with a 'how do you think I feel about that?' I know she is here to help me get over my guilt and try to understand my emotions a bit better but come on, even you have to admit that some of the questions are a bit retarded. "So Lotus, how do you feel about this being our last session together?" "Uh, am I supposed to feel some type of way?" I asked her, does she want me to be sad and weeping that I won't be seeing her anymore and I won't have to answer questions and have her prove a point to me that would bug me out for a whole week until I see her. "It's all up to you
I had just taken a shower that Tiffany forced me into taking because for the past three days I had been sitting next to her, watching her curly hair become flatter. Grabbing my shirt I walked to the room Lotus was resting in, buttoning my shirt up I opened the door and I heard her melodic laugh. "There you are!" She chirped and I stood by the door fazed, I wasn't here when she woke up. "You're up," I whispered, not believing my eyes, she gestured to her body and giggled. "I'm wide awake, are you just going to stand there and watch me or are you going to come hug me?" She said in a suggestive tone and still, I stood there just watching her. "You would think he was the one that got shot," she mumbled, Charlie and Tiffany laughed and she laughed too but ended up coughing. Rushing over to her side I helped her sit up straighter and gave her some water to drink. "Are you okay?" I asked her and she waved me off. "I'm fine, I missed you," she said and I smiled, looking up I saw we were
I was sitting on the chair next to Lotus's bed as she lay there sleeping off the heavy doses of medication that they had pumped into her body after surgery. I had never felt so useless and terrified in my life. The thoughts that kept running in my head were horrifying, only if I had moved quicker then maybe she would be awake right now annoying the crap out of me, but instead, she was here on this bed bandaged and being helped by a ventilator in order to breathe and it's all my fault. Holding onto her hand I looked at her and brought my hand to touch her curls, the curls I love twirling my finger around when we lay in bed talking about anything and everything. It's really easy to talk to her, but with her sleeping it's difficult and I just want to hear her voice, even if it's just to curse me out. I tried squeezing her hand thinking she will respond and squeeze mine back but she doesn't, her cold fingers touch mine in an embrace I'm forcing, trying to warm them up I rub our hands t
I had just come back from the bathroom and on our way back I might have sneakily grabbed Big Joe's gun and hit him on the head. I couldn't really pull him anywhere because he was big and compared to him, I was extremely small. Taking his pocket knife I walked back into the room and found Wood beating my Antonio who held a satisfied smirk at what was happening and Stacey standing there watching them as if it was a show. "What in the world is going on here!?" My voice echoed in the room and I ran over to Antonio pulling him away from Wood, here I am acting as if this is my house but I hadn't been gone for more than five minutes and here they were fighting already, slipping the pocket knife into his pocket I helped him stand straighter. "This is an ivory-white jacket, do you know how much work I will have to do because there's blood all over it?" It wasn't really about the jacket, but it wouldn't hurt to get them thinking it was about it. Walking back to my seat but pushing it next to
