My Best Friend's Father/Thorns
I awake to the smell of smoke. I jump up from the bed. I have to save mom and dad. I run down the hallway, but the entrance to their wing is already in flames. “Mom! Dad! Mom! Dad! Don’t leave me! Don’t leave me. Take me with you!!!” I cry out, but they don’t answer. I sob. I’m going to be alone. I don’t want to live like this. I don’t want to live with Uncle Theo. It’s better for me to die. I stand and take slow steps towards the fire. Suddenly, I feel myself shaking, and when I open my eyes, Cole is holding me. I look at him, stunned, wondering why he’s here, but feeling overwhelmed, I ignore that and throw my hands around him and cry. This isn’t a dream. My parents are dead, and I might as well be all alone. “Grandma is getting out tomorrow so that you can go home.” Cole says as he comforts me. I exhale, feeling relieved as I bury my face in his chest. Grandma wasn’t my mother and father, but at least I wouldn’t be around Carmen and

Giovanni If you had asked me six months ago whether I think I would fall in love again. I would have said no. I didn’t know love would ever compare to my first, and I was never interested in trying to find one, no matter how much Gianna pressed me to find someone. I was content with my bachelor’s lifestyle and believed it would stay that way. Then she slipped into my bed and my heart. And now I can’t imagine a life without her in it. A life without loving her, kissing her, and making love to her is something I don’t want to experience, not after we’ve found each other. I look down at her as she lies naked beneath me, smiling. I press a kiss on her lips and then another, and another until we find a rhythm, and now we’re making out. I sigh as we melt into each other; nothing can be as perfect as this moment. Once the kiss breaks, I hover over her, my lips barely grazing hers as I stare into her eyes. She meets my gaze with a look filled with both love an

My Best Friend's Father/Thorns
Four days later “Jillian, where are the files for the Levou Property?” I press the receiver and ask as I look through folders on my desk. “On your desk.” “If it were on my desk, I would see it,” I growl, annoyed, still searching for it with my right hand. “I put it on your desk this morning.” She says. “Well, I can’t find it. You know we start construction in a week. I need to review the new blueprint.” I shuffle through papers on my desk, looking for them. She sighs on the receiver, and then a couple of minutes later, my door opens. I look up as she enters my office and heads towards me. She moves a couple of files around. “I’m telling you it’s not there--” I pause as she hands it to me. “Here it is.” “Thank you.” I take it and skip through it. I can feel her eyes on me as I review the blueprint. “If you have something to say. Spit it out. Don’t just stand there.” I have kn

Ring, Ring, Ring. I grab my phone, thinking it’s her calling back, but when I look at the name, it’s William. I frown and pick up. “What?” “Is that how you greet your best friend? I’m hurt.” “Best friend? How many best friends you know trying to sleep with their friend’s woman?” “Quite a few.” “Goodbye.” He laughs. “Chill, I have moved on from Brandi.” “Then why are you calling her about your new spot? “ “Because she is good at what she does, great actually. I wanted a similar feeling, so I called her. You can relax. I know she only wants your old ass.” I frown, not buying his answer but deciding I’ll let it slide since I want to ask him about the search for that woman. “I’ll trust you, but if she tells me otherwise, I’ll shoot you. Now tell me, did you contact her?” He laughs. “Bros before h—you know what, I value my life too much. About the woman, I reached out; that’s why I’m calling. She’s at

Brandi With my eyes closed, I try to focus on that memory again to remember what happened the night my parents died. Since seeing Cole again, the dream about that night keeps reoccurring. Yet, I can’t remember much, only waking up to the smell of smoke. So I invited Cole over to see if he could help jog my memory since he was the catalyst. I haven’t quite forgiven him for that night and how he left, but I understand his reasons. I inhale, trying to remember what happened after I woke. I know I tried looking for my parents, but what else happened? How did I make it out when my parents did not? What happened that night? Five minutes pass, and still nothing. I frown and open my eyes. “This isn’t working. I announce out loud,” We’ve been at trying for hours, but I haven’t been able to recall anything new. “I’m sorry, I’m not helping. I don’t remember that night either because I slept through most of it. I woke up when you were already in th

I pull up and hop out of the car and make my way to the door. After pressing the doorbell, she finally opens the door. “Hey, Brandi.” “Where is he?” She steps aside. “He fell asleep, so maybe you can leave him until tomorrow.” I ignore her and make my way into her living room, where he’s lying on the couch. Well, at least he’s fully dressed and not in her bed. But I’m still pissed. What if he didn’t call me? What would they be doing? I clench my fist as I call him. “Giovanni!” I call. I’m so mad at him right now, but I know I have to stay calm, or I’ll kill him and her. “Giovanni, get up!!” He still doesn’t budge. “He’s out. Why don’t you both sleep here.” She says. I frown and move closer to him, and punch him in the arm, causing him to wake up immediately. “What?” He sits up and looks around. “See, he’s up. We’ll be on our way, but thanks for the offer.” “Fenice—fenice, is that you?” He

“Huh? What about me?” “I ch… I pause. I want to tell him I’m choosing him, but I should talk to Gianna one more time before I do. “Tt’s nothing. You always know how to make me feel special.” He smiles then kisses my lips. “That’s my job, and now, “He checks his watch, “I should get out of your hair. I’m sure you have things to do, and I have to get to work.” “You’re leaving?” “Yeah, I know you would probably kick me out soon.” I chuckle. “I wouldn’t kick you out, just a gentle shove.” “Well, I’m leaving on my own accord. You needed space, and because of my drunken fuckk up, you had to spend the night with me.” “Well, except for the picking you up part. It wasn’t so bad.” “Which part was good?” He asks. “The part where I got to see you. I missed your touch, “He slips his hands under my shirt, caressing my bare skin. “I have some time. I could touch you all over now.” I sigh

Cole I stare at the house for a second as I contemplate whether I should turn back. I’ve been sitting here for the last twenty minutes, and although I have to do this, I always promised myself I wouldn’t enter this place again. It’s filled with so many horrible memories I wish I could bury—memories of her abuse and my inability to protect her all those years. Her smile pops into my head, and I can’t help the joy and peace it brings me. I never thought I would be lucky enough to see that smile again. After that night, I ran away because I couldn’t face her. I couldn’t face the hatred that would be in her eyes when she looked at me. But she smiled at me. She doesn’t hate me. She doesn’t love you anymore, either. A voice says in my head, crushing the joy I felt earlier. That’s right; she doesn’t love me. She’s in love with someone else. I am happy she found love, and from how he acts, it’s clear he loves her, too. I am happy for her. Or I want to be happy

My Best Friend's Father/Thorns
Giovanni With Fenice in my arms, I walk through the door of the chateau, bypassing the staff who’s at the entrance to greet us. I put my hand to my lips as one of them is about to speak. “I’ll take her to bed,” I whisper to them before heading towards the staircase. She has been sleeping since she fell asleep in the limo and slept the entire ten-hour flight. She must have been exhausted, and I know waking up to get me probably contributed to it. What I did was pathetic. I have to better for her sake. I could have hurt her if I had gotten any more wasted and slept with Carina. I exhale as I gently place her on the bed and cover her with a blanket. “I promise I’ll do better from now on.” I declare. I know she can’t hear me, but as long as we’re together, I’ll do everything right to earn my place by her side. Although it still may not be enough because she probably will leave me. I wonder how many days we have left? I know she’ll pick Gian

My Best Friend's Father/Thorns
Brandi“Tell me if your foot hurts.” He says for the fifth time in the last fifteen minutes. It’s been three days since I twisted my ankle. It feels much better, but he’s been acting like I’m going to break whenever I try to walk around. He treats me like his most precious possession by carrying me everywhere in his arms. It has been sweet and annoying.“We should probably head back now.”“Bambino, I’m fine, look.” I jump up and down to show him my ankle is fine, but his face looks like he’s having a heart attack as he runs over to me.“Be careful, fenice, are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?”“Tesoro, stop worrying. It doesn’t hurt.”“I know I’m being overly cautious---.”Ring, ring, ring.He stops and pulls his phone from his pocket, and looks at it.“Sorry, I have to take this.
