Things Don't Have To Be Awkward

Quickly, Clay retrieved her handbag from the bench, and they began to walk down the hall hand in hand.A group of nurses walked by, chittering in Italian once they saw Lorraine with Clay.Lorraine dusted herself off emotionally and kept her head straight, accepting that since being here, rumours might have already spread about who Clay was and how she let that affect their relationship again was entirely up to her.However, she couldn't help but give thought to what Clay's visit meant for her. When she arrived in Italy, she had embraced her solitary state only because she knew she had no choice.Although she could lament that being this far away from home was tough on her, she was suited to live independently. She was reliant on no one and was free to make her own decisions without interference from anyone.But that would all change now that Clay was here, she thought.Tonight, however, she wished not to be so alone. She couldn't deny that although a bit terrifying, Clay's visit was t

Let's Not Pretend

Clay was so deep in thought he didn't realize he had been holding his car door open for more than a minute.Having sensed the tension between Lorraine and her friends, he didn't know if it was a good time to mention that Caterina had called him.Unfortunately, Lorraine did not allow him enough time to process a white lie"How did you know where to find me Clay?" Lorraine asked suspiciously. Giving in to the pressure of the moment, Clay said "Your friend Caterina. She was the one that called me and told me you were at the hospital", Clay muttered as he entered the driver's seat and closed the door.Lorraine stood pensively for a few moments, and for one irrational moment, she thought, 'Was he lying all along?',With that, she entered the passenger seat and slammed the door out of frustration.She couldn't tell exactly why she was angry, but immediately reason asserted itself. Clay couldn't have made his way over here so quickly between the time the news had spread to Caterina, and sh

Give Me Some Space

It wasn't in our place to, Caterina wanted to keep it a secret and…","Save it, Lydia. Frankly, I must say I'm hurt. For fucks sake, we are friends! How could you all keep something this huge from me? Especially when you all presented me that family pack bullshit!","Do I even know you guys? Were any of it real? Or was it just to get the foreign girl to open up on how miserable her life had been?", Lorraine spoke softly, her voice starting to break.The girls remained unmoved, feeling deeply apologetic. Caterina however was expressionless, the entire time she had been sitting by the chair in the corner, overlooking the whole thing unfolding."Of course it was real. We care about you deeply", "If you cared about me as much as you say, you wouldn't h

Living Together

As they arrived at the mansion, Lorraine is astonished by its architecture. Clay walked around, opened the passenger seat door for her, and then walked to the trunk and brought out her boxes.Lorraine was still stunned by the luxurious elegance of the home so much she hoped she had known about it earlier, she probably wouldn't have moved into the dormitory if there was another place she could stay.Clay walked in front and pushed open the massive wooden door and when Lorraine walked inside, she found the exterior pale in comparison to the stunning finishing she was staring atTurning sharply towards her husband, she asked"How long have you had this place?", "About five years" Clay replied absentmindedly and continued rolling the suitcase upstairsLorraine walked around, getting a feel of her new home.

Ms. Lorraine, We Need To Talk

Mrs Hughes was still setting up her projector when the door pushed open and suddenly her attention was caught.Her eyes widened in shock as she gazed at Clay.

She reached for his hand, but when he extended it, she grabbed his forearm instead.Lorraine threaded her fingers up through her hair, this was exactly why she did not care to have Clay over in Italy.This was his second day here and he was already hawking attention and capturing the admiration of the woman probably every student in the school tried to get on the good side of.Lorraine rolled her eyes in the back of her head and thought "Oh great, another fan""I-I…" Mrs Hughes swallowed.

They walked quietly towards her office, but a few dreadful thoughts kept Lorraine's mind active.Before they got to Mrs Hughes's office, she stopped to interact with a colleague and Lorraine continued along.Suddenly, she spotted Mrs Francesca waiting by the door.Mrs Francesca's unexpected appearance had caused a stir of panic within Lorraine.She had run out of her fundraiser after being introduced as her prized students, no less to attract the funding of the generous investors and business elites that swarmed the party.More and more, she was beginning to feel she was a poster child for funding in the school, but it wasn't her biggest concern now. When she saw Francesca, worry started to gnaw at her. Lorraine wasn't the best at hiding her uneasiness as Francesca was. It was clear that her storming out last night had probably caused a poor image to the president of the school.With hesitant steps, she approached Mrs Franc

I Was once You

Just a little lightheaded, that's all" Lorraine said sharply clenching her teeth and breathing out softly through her mouth.Mrs Hughes got up and walked back towards her dispenser and fetched her a cup of water"Here take this. It'll help with the cramps" She said vaguely but with a knowing look. Lorraine was momentarily shocked but decided to play it cool and not to give herself away"Thank you, it's that time of the month," she said playfully and cracked a laughMrs Hughes gazed at her still with a knowing look and forced a smile"Sure", she said sensing Lorraine's reluctance to admit the truth to her.She could understand how difficult it was being a new mother, especially one who had to go through school with the pregnancy. Suddenly, she stood up and walked away from Lorraine, reaching her desk she pulled out her drawer, brought out a small picture frame and plac

Talk To Him

Lorraine's painting of a mural of a pregnant woman was ethereal. It infused the natural concept of pregnancy and the birth of a child with the growth of a crsytalized stream with rainbow locs, using the roots of a tree as the womb and a woman painting in a hue of leaves and a tree.DeAngelo had never seen art like this before. He had to admit, he underestimated her and the more he stared at the painting, the more he saw how talented she was and suddenly his desire to paint with the genius behind that work grew.Suddenly, he started to feel a strange calm as he reflected upon her art and immediately, he brought out his phone and quickly dialed Lorraine's number.
