LENA’S POINT OF VIEW Working in the field is super-duper tiring; I keep an eye on the crews and make sure that they do their job. Huh… what a tiring day. Sitting on the bench, the water bottle next to me, I stare at the crew and ask them to move quickly. “Hey… please, faster, it’s 9 PM” I’m yelling from the bench in the corner. The crew doing their job and the models have already finished the photo shoot; I watch them from the bench in the corner. “Gosh… Maia is gonna kill me” I grumbled and I’m staring at my phone screen. “It’s 09:15 PM… Gosh,” I sigh. I lean on the bench and drink the water; I haven’t got any text from Maia, bet she’s mad at me now. “Arhhhh…” I sigh. A crewman comes to me “All done!” He says. “Cool…” I say, and then I walk with him to the outdoor photo shoot area. “It’s time to go home! You guys did a great job today! See you on Monday, we start working at the office for collecting and editing” I say in front of all the crew. All people preparing to go home and
I love your sweet smile more than I love the coffee smells in the morning. Let me wake up next to you forever, have coffee in the morning, and wander through the city with your hand in mine and I'll be happy for the rest of my fucked up little life. My day starts next to you in your arms; nothing can be enough to tell you how much I love you. Staring at you when I woke up next to you makes me happy, I couldn’t ask more. “Hey, good morning sleepy bird…” I say in a raspy voice. “Good morning baby” Lena stares at me and smiles. “Is it me or we woke up early today?” I say in a slow breath. “Ugghhh… Let me check my phone” Lena reaches for her phone on the bedside. “It’s 6 AM, babe…” Lena says while staring at the phone screen. I yawn and stretch my body “How sweet the morning air is! See how that one little cloud floats like a pink feather from some gigantic flamingo” I say while pointing to the window. “Wow… bu
The sunset accompanied us, people are getting ready to go home, and the kids were tired, today is my first time spending time with my family and Lena. I sit on the mat under the tree while my eyes keep looking at Lena from distance, I couldn’t hear anything but I could see Lena’s mad face while she talked on the phone. Lena is probably hiding something from me; my heart trusts her but my mind isn’t telling the same. I just knew her, I know. This life, which I’m choosing at least gives me happiness, and my happy place is Lena. I wasn’t in the mood for anyone's problems but if Lena tells me everything I’ll hear her out. It’s kind of blind but I do love her, from today and to the next life. “Hey… come here, help me with this” Rosa gave me the picnic basket. I take the picnic basket from Rosa and walk to the car with her. “Where’s Lena?” Rosa says. “She’s
The sun hits my eyes and the birds sing along; I woke up and realized that I’ve been wearing the same clothes for over 20 hours. I reach the bedside and I haven’t seen Lena next to me, bet she woke up early. I roll over and wake myself “Ughhh…” I'm stretching my body, and my back hurts. I walk to the window and open it so the fresh morning air could refresh the room, I look around from the window and see two small birds in a nest waiting for their mother to come home and feed them, I could felt the little birds and how sad it is to wait for someone that we love to return to us. For the first time, my morning went differently because I woke up without Lena next to me and her kisses. I walk to the bathroom and I clean myself. The freshwater couldn’t erase all pain in me, all pain that Lena just scratched in my heart. I have no idea what should I do… should I be mad at her? Or should I understand her? My mind is full of questions right now… are we in the relationship turn-off phase? I d
MAIA’S POINT OF VIEW The streets were dark with something more than night, everything in the street seems like darkness to me. The street looks full but I felt empty, birds sleeping in the nest, hiding from the gloomy Queens night. Every city in the world always has a street gang… the homeless people sleep around the street with a thin blanket over them. My heart is broken into pieces… I wish they get a better life someday. I see homeless kids sleeping on the street corner and one of them is just 3 years old! God, that breaks my heart. Do our sins in the past make us reborn this way? Life sucks… I know. Some people are born to be rich and some people are born to have nothing. I know it’s unfair… but… we cannot do anything… that’s our destiny. I’m so grateful because I still have my family until now. Some people may lose their families out there. All we can do is live our lives and be grateful for everything we had. I haven’t received any text from Lena… I’ll wait for her tonight an
I ain’t sleeping in my bed… I can’t get these thoughts out of my head. I am on my way to work… and I listening to music to distract the pain inside my chest. “Ughhh…” Sigh me. The fake scenarios keep playing in my head, it’s like the drama series on TV. I can’t stop thinking of Lena and what happened between us. I parked my car and walk to the office, same as yesterday morning… I’m not seeing Lena’s car here. ”Where the fuck is she” I mumble. I walk to the workplace and I see Alaia sitting at her desk. I come to Alaia and ask her to accompany me… “Hey… would you like to accompany me after work, I need to buy things in Walmart,” I say. “Yeah…sure… I’m about to buy monthly things too” Alaia says. “Sounds good!” I say while my eyes keep looking around the workplace. “Hello… you okay?” Alaia says. “Mmm… yeah,” I say. I get closer to Alaia “Have you seen Lena?” I say in a whisper. “Yeah…
Drives my way home… the same night, same pain, and same problem. I’ll be alright… I just need some time to learn how to feel okay with myself again. “Jeez…” I mumble as I realize that I left my charger on my work desk. “Shit…” I turn around my car and back to the office. “It’s 8 PM!” I say while staring at the top of my phone screen. I drive my way to the office and I see a couple of cars still parked in the parking lot. I parked my car and get out of the car, I left my bag in the car and walk to the office by myself. “Hey… you here!” The receptionist man says. “Hey… I left my charger and I’m back to take it with me” I say while holding the phone in my hand. “Alright then… good night,” He says. “Thank you, sir…” I say. I walk to my workplace and it’s too dark there. “Shit…” I say deep inside. I turn on the light and walk to my desk… I’m looking for my charger and I cannot find it, I keep looking and I found the charger under my work desk. “Thank god” I sigh. I take the charger with me
“Unbelievable! You were already cheating on me?” Lena yells as she grips my wrist tightly. “Ouchhh… You hurt me” I say as my left-hand tries to move Lena’s hand from mine. “It’s not as hurt as you did to me!” Lena says as her eyes balls are about to come out. “Jeez… fuck off” I released myself from Lena's grip. “I thought we were on pause!” I say in a high voice. “Jeez, fucking Christ motherfucker… you can’t just decide to fuck the first volunteer that comes along!” Lena yells to me as she points her finger at my face. ”You know…I don’t need a woman who says things like ‘butthurt’ and makes me feel that I’m not a part of her life” I say as I raise my eyebrows in anger. Lena clenches her hand fist and stares at me, she sighs and inhales deeply “Listen…” Lena holds my shoulders as her eyes are looking at me “YOU ARE THE PART OF MY LIFE… YOU ARE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE” Lena says in a low voice. I look away and sigh “It is, I just don’t feel like I’m part of it,” I say as my eyes point to h
Finally, the cup of iced tea I was holding in my hands fell and hit the floor, a tiny drop of tear started soaking my eyes, the moment I learned Lena replied to the girl with a few kisses, from her cheek to her chin, I walked out of the cinema, leaving Z without a word behind.“Maia!”Z called me, she was confused yet I never looked back, I ran off in a wet prison uniform when I left the location, making my way to my cell without locking the door.The pillow that became the safest place for me to complain got wet after a few seconds I landed my face on it and I squeezed the pillow to let out my anger at the time, crying as quietly as I could so no one hear me.I said I was fine, I moved on but it felt hurt when I saw her with someone else, as if a thousand swords were stabbed in my chest, I couldn’t breathe. Do you still wish it was me beside you? When you kiss or hug someone else, do you imagine it was us?Millions of questions started surrounding my brain, at the time I didn’t reali
I’ve been thinking a lot for the last few hours, clearing my head and trying to figure out what I need to say after having Lena in my cell. After leaving the open yard, I went back to my cell and rested my back against the non-comfy bunk which I never thought that I would lay there. My eyes looked up at the ceiling and both my arms became my pillow at the time, the more I thought about Lena, the more pain I got. Then I have no clue why my eyes ran toward her stuff, as the intrusive invaded me, I started leaving my bunk and made my way to her spot. My eyes ran around the place, I made sure no one passed my cell and saw me near my bunkmate spot before I walked even closer. A soft cover became the first thing I touched as I got there; Lena always had this cover with her, why? As I remembered every time she had a nightmare hugging this orange cover would make her feel better, I rubbed the cover and smiled, knowing this was hers and after fighting the urge not to come here yet I can’t.
A raven-haired girl that I hated but also madly in love showed up in front of my face, she frowned and looked unhappy when she noticed I was the one who opened the door for her. Her tousled hair and eyes that looked so exhausted were evident as far as the eye could see when Lena appeared in front of me but that still didn’t take away the beauty she had since she was born. “What the hell did you do here?” I ask as my eyes are looking at her in annoyance. “Ask the guy who brought me here” Lena scoffs as she rolls her eyes, she gets into my cell without my permission like that cell was hers, placing her stuff on the top of my bunk not hers afterward. Lena one hundred percent knows how to piss me off, she always has a way to make me madly mad at her but also in love, I have no idea what her intention was when she placed her stuff on the top of my bunk, not hers but as I know Lena loves to annoy me or she may be here to torture me, paying that male guard so that she can get this room. “
“Hey! Campbell? What are you doing here?”A male guard just came and that freezes us. “Uh, keep your hands clean, inmate!” Cara shouts at me. I raise my eyebrow with an annoyed look on my face and I get back to my cell. I knew she shouted at me because she does not want to get shot in 4K by that male big guard. “I-I’m about to go, I’ll check another room then” Cara states as she facing the male guard which standing in front of my room, awkwardly.“Oh, I thought there’s something wrong happened here” He chuckles. “Ah, no, no… no worries” Cara chuckles in an awkward way. She leaves my room and disappearing into the prison corridor then. I sigh and fold up my pink furry cozy blanket, get ready to greet my new roommate. “Hey, look at you! A friend of mine said that you’ll be in the yoga class this
“So tell me… we haven’t met in millennia” Cara chuckles. “What do you do after college Maia?” She ends. “I’ve traveled with my ex hukkk…” I clear my throat tensely. “Ex-girlfriend…” I whoosh my breath as I look at her. Cara stares at me with a raised brow, I guess she gets more surprised because she found out that I am not straight like she thought. “Wow!” She’s whooshing her breath in surprise. “My ex-girlfriend who ran an illegal shit and now… I found herself is in here too!” I end.“Wow, that’s surprising Maia!” Cara shook her head and chuckles. “I didn’t expect that you can get involved into that kind of thing” She ends. “I mean… yes, I helped her! But I cut myself and leave... Now I’m lamenting myself for leaving
I laugh softly trying to pulling back myself together and smile. “Well, guess we’re done now… I have to meet someone at the library and apply for my job application” I say. “What?! You’re going to work? Like seriously?” Z surprises. “Yeah, you know… I need to stay away from my bed and do some work so I won’t gain you know… more fat” I chuckle. “Hahaha you still look great though!” She chuckles as she looks at me.“Mmmm well, I should go!” I sigh and I up from my bunk. “Oh, o-okay…” She up from my bed too and gets ready to go, but before that she turns around and facing me. I was scanning over the drawer to get some paper and a pen. “H-hey… Maia?” Z calls me and it’s distracted me. “Yeah?” I up from my knee and look at her who stands not
Tears start to fall down from my eyes and soaked my cheeks. I smile in tears but also cry in pain. How could I disappoint my family and not giving them what they wanted. My family gave everything to me and I never had a chance to repay their kindness. Life is not always fair, I had a nice rich family and I disappoint them. Some of us in this world are struggling for living because they’re not born from the affluent family. Same as Lena, she struggled since she was a kid.“I am so grateful that I had you as my sister…” I sob as tears start to fall down and soak my cheeks. “And I thank you for being the sister that you are. You’re amazing, you’re understanding and I know… that if nobody in this damn world loves me, I know you love me… And I never have to look for love” I end as I wipe my tears. “You soaked me huh? Now I ha
“Yes, I’m coming!” I sigh as I open the door. “Maia?” Katty just came to my room and ruined my wonderful bittersweet flashback with Lena. “H-hey… What’s up?” I greet her with a little slight of annoyance on my face. “Hey… You okay?” She asks. “Y-yeah… I’m good. What’s up?” I reply. “Oh, Z asked me to check on you. You haven’t shown up this morning, where have you been?” Katty asks. “Ah, I stayed in my room all day hehe” I chuckle tensely.“I’m about to go now to see Z in her room” I end. “Are you sure you’re okay? You look sweaty, Maia. Are you sick?” Katty punches me with more questions, I lost my mind and don’t know how to punch her back with more answers. “I… hmmm I’m good! Yeah, I’m goo
“Oh, God, damn, Jesus Christ!” I moaned passionately as Lena kept kissing my body passionately. She kissed me so damn good and it left burning desire in my wake. She kissed me sensually right between my breasts. My nipples stand bright and erected following her soft damn sensual kissed as I squeezed the sheets with my hands, it felt so good and relaxed, I would never cheat on her cause I cannot find a girl who done me so good like Lena does.“You wasted so much time babe…” I said under my breath as I saw Lena swirl her tongue against my nipple. My pussy was so wet and it cannot wait any longer, but Lena kept played her game and spins out the time. Lena laughed softly knowing that I cannot wait any longer and wanting her fingers to in, but she played her game and tortured me even more. She off her tongue from my nipple and started licking my chin up to my mou
