CHAPTER FORTY

When Detective Roman called me the next morning, I was tangled in my sheets, my hair was sprawled all over the bed and I was naked. The first thing I did when my phone blared off the nightstand was reach beside me to feel molds of muscles but my hand only felt the warm sheets of the bed giving away the fact that Dwyer must have left just moments ago. Disappointed, I took my phone off the nightstand and answered the call.  "Hey, you up?"  his familiar smooth voice roused from the other end.   "Yeah, courtesy of you" I said almost cringing at my own sleep voice and morning breath. His laughter followed piercing my ears. "I'm honored to be the alarm that reminds you that you have to be at work in a few minutes from now". I looked down to see what time it was on my phone and I gasped, jerking off the bed.  Shit. I was running late. I rushed off the bed, pulling off the sheets that wrapped around my body

41-Beach Date

The rest of my day went by like it never even happened. It was if hearing about rape victims and missing girls left a curse on the rest of the day. I couldn’t even get a productive thing done and at that rate I feared Constantine, our boss would fire me. Although the thought does not faze me like it probably should. I was drained in all aspects and I didn’t mind a break from everything. After the uneventful day though, I found myself looking forward to spending the night with Dwyer. He seemed like the only reason I made it through that day. As I waited for the clock to strike six, I thought of how the night would go. Where he would take me and what he would show me. The only clue I had about the where we'd be going is that it's out of town. For a moment, fear set in. Was he finally thinking of killing me off somewhere outside the town? Where no one would find me? But

42-Making Memories

It really was the most beautiful thing ever.   I slipped my shoes off my leg, letting my naked feet sink into the cold sand, it sent cold shivers all through my body making me shudder almost immediately but damn! It felt good. The morning air blew past my hair, letting it fall in long locks across my face and sprawl in all directions. The cold air from the crashing and falling waves hit my face with a defined intention causing me close my eyes each time it wheezes past my face. But I couldn’t keep my eyes closed for too long, I had to catch every moment of the beautiful scene before me.   Right before my eyes, I watched the sun rise on the sea. If I didn’t know any better or if I was a kid, I would have said it was a huge ball that sank into the sea and rises every morning cause it damn well looks like it. The sun's rays are still a darker shade of yellow but bright enough to leave sparkles of it on the vast sea. The gold specks on the sea m

43-Happiness And Bombshells

The rest of my days with Dwyer didn’t just fleet by like they never even happened. They were days I could recount over and over again. It was like each day has its significance inside of my head. Each moment I had with him right after that day with him at the beach became a memory embedded into my brain and I dwelled in them with no single regrets. My days became memorable and yes, they were still stressful and tiring but each time I have a long day, the thought of going home to meet someone gave me immense joy. I was always looking forward to snuggling close to him on my couch while seeing a Netflix series together and munching on popcorns that often leads to arguments and bickering on who ate the most of it. We spent most of our time at my apartment and only a few times at his since he was always waiting for me at my place when he gets off work. Each day, walking in to see him was like a pill I needed to take to go to sleep fine at night. Whenever I walk

44- Truth And The Pain It Brings

When the clock struck six, I was already sliding out the office doors, thoughts jumbled and legs wobbly. I couldn’t even return a snicker at Liam's taunt about my car as I stepped into it and left him coughing through a cloud of dust from the screeching tires. I had just one thing in mind. And nothing else fazed me. Not even the cloud of dust that followed me as I raced through the town like a mad woman.  Dwyer didn’t kill that man. He definitely didn’t. I don’t know who did and how he is connected to being at the place at that time and showing up at my doorstep with blood-stained hands but one thing was certain and my brain won't stop repeating it. Dwyer was not the killer. The realization almost made me slap myself. I was too engrossed in the things I felt for him for me to realize all the signs. They were all there, sta

45-Hell

Hell.   Is this what it feels like?   Silence?   The graveyard one, all around you?   Where the little voices in your head that raged and rumbled like angry storms are now suddenly quiet as if their abode was raided and ransacked and now you hear nothing, not even your own silent cries. Where nothing makes sense to you. Where the thoughts in your head dry up and you feel like some sort of arid desert land. Where you feel nothing, nothing but numbness on your lips, your limbs and inevitably, your brain.   If this isn't what hell feels like, then I wonder what makes hell terrifying if it isn't the fact that you can't feel yourself anymore.   That’s right.   The right words to fit my situation.   I couldn’t feel myself anymore.   Every part of me was numb and unfeeling.   I was b

46-Twice bitten, Same Pain.

Can life get any shittier?  Can my luck get any worse?  And Christ why can't figurative expressions come to life in times like this? Expressions like the ground opening up and swallowing me, never to be seen or heard of again on the face of the earth because that was how I felt looking at my father standing by the door.  I felt trapped. Not because of my little cubicle but because my father, who I have been lying to showed up at the most unexpected place, the least place I thought he could be and I couldn’t even move a muscle of my stiff body.  He was all smiles as he took in the room but not until our eyes met and the smile on his face froze. The room seemed to freeze along with it, as if every other thing got paused so we could have all the time to ourselves.  I wanted to look away. I wanted to walk away. No, scratch that, I wanted to run!  But

47- I Love You

All of my problems melted into the background the moment his lips touched mine. They drowned in the sea that is his lips and I couldn't help but sigh contentedly into them. There was something about the way his lips molded into mine. Something about the way it guided me in slow and sensual movements. Something about the fact that I have never felt this way before. It was nothing like anything I have ever felt. it was different. Different from our rushed moments of passion and lust even if it had just the amount of passion it needed and a mix of other emotions that we must have both bottled up in the past torturous days. I couldn't pinpoint the emotions. I didn't care. I couldn't care. The sensation coarsing through me wouldn't make me care. My tears didn't stop. I couldn't stop them. They seeped into the kiss we shared like they were a part of it and Dwyer gladly welcomed them, swallowing them and having us both taste the salty solution. I gripped

48-The Thorn To Her Roses

Nothing beats waking up to more than just the heat that radiates off your own body.And absolutely nothing beats having your arms wrapped around a warm body frame whose nakedness blocks the ray of the sun seeping through the Windows and into the room.Nothing ever compares to sniffing in the manly scent that is now thick with the smell of sweat and the aftermath of our love making. Not even the smell of my sheets that I sniff into every morning can beat this.He was big.Warm.Hard.And all mine.His heart beat against his chest and my own head that was rested on it, in slow even rythms, rising and falling. I didn't have to look up to his face to know that he was wide awake, his fingers spanning along my spine was enough confirmation. Just like last night, no words seemed to pass between us. Our bodies probably did the talking and our minds had the understanding needed.Curled up with him, I thought back to what I said yesterday an

49-It All Comes Crashing Down

I knew the moment that high-pitched scream pierced through my ears that it's either I ran for my life or I end up with my hair scalp being bruised by her puling on it and maybe a double nose bleed. And I knew better than to even consider the prospects.I ran."Get back here you little piece of shit!"She followed knocking down the bag in her hands in the process. The floor was small and enclosed and all I could do was run back and forth with her hot on my trail. I dodged a few hooks and punches from her whenever she got close enough to actually catch me. This went on for so long than I can figure out but neither one of us was giving up."Shayne please"I pleaded already out of breath even though I knew better than to stop running from her."Stop running Char! Get back here. I won't touch you" she was breathless too. I snorted. As if I could believe her. She rolled her eyes in return knowing I'm smarter than that."I promise I won't to
