VIRTUE

Damien did not know why he had done anything that night. Yes, Sam had asked him to get closer to her, but he could not understand why he was flirting so much with her. When he asked her for dinner, he had his own motives; he had to hear what she had to say without making her think she was uncomfortable. He had no idea why he brought her to his house. He had even winked. He was trying to clear his mind as he cooked, but Lila dropped a few words here and there while he was cooking. He wanted to have the silence, but he was still grateful. He plated the mac and cheese and cleaned the sides of the plate before taking both plates to the dining table. He came back in and tapped her shoulders; she stirred a bit and looked at him. "When did I fall asleep?" she murmured, rubbing the sides of her face. "I wonder when," he said, shrugging as he walked towards the cabinets. "It must have taken you a while to get the meal ready," she said as she let out an extremely long and loud yawn. "But i

CANVAS

"Thank you so much for the meal," Lila said, sitting on the sofa in the living room. She did not know why, but she felt a bit more relaxed than when she first got there. She was now sitting on the couch with her legs folded under her. "I am glad you liked it," Damien replied. She took a tiny sip from her bottle of wine. She had been drinking the same one since dinner while he was waiting on a third bottle. He thought that showing her it was okay to drink would make her take a bit more or maybe a second bottle, but while he was busy getting intoxicated, she was just trying her best to stay sober. "Your house..." she trailed off. During dinner, they had spoken about random things and even laughed. When she heard him laugh, she suppressed her words down her throat because she wanted to make him feel uncomfortable about it and stop laughing. She could not deny that his laugh was now one of her favourite things about him. He had so many qualities that it was hard to choose anything, but

KNOT

Arietta sat across from Oliver; they had barely said any words to each other, and at this point, she was waiting for them to get the check and out of there. She did not know why, but he was not saying anything, and just sitting there angered her more. She sort of had high hopes of meeting him that evening, but it seemed like everything was going south. She pressed her lips together and cleared her throat. "If you are eating, then maybe we should be going," she said. If she had had her ride there, then maybe she would have stormed out of anger, but she did not want to have to go through the trouble of getting a taxi by herself and getting home all by herself. She knew now to always bring along a car and driver if she was going to drink. "Already?" he asked, lifting his eyes, and she could swear that this was the first time she had seen his eye since they sat down. The expression running wild in them was weird to her; she had only ever known him as this confident man, but here he was

FUSION

Arietta pulled away from him and slapped his face. He held his face in shock even though he knew that he had deserved that and even more. "What was that?" she asked, breathing heavily. "I am sorry," he said, bending his head with shame. "You are sorry? If you knew that you were going to be sorry, then why did you do it?" she asked, wiping the tears that had fallen after she pulled away. "I did not ask you to be sorry; I am simply asking what that was and why you did it," she said, her voice breaking as it came out of her throat. "It is..." he stopped talking abruptly and turned his head. "Open the door," she said, her back to him and her hand on the door again."Arietta, please," he let out, and she turned to him with an angry expression on her face. So angry that she knew that her reaction at that moment would be to cry, and she did not want to cry in his presence. It would mean that he had such powers to make her cry. "Pleas? Might I ask why you are begging me? Why are you sayi

LIMIT

Lila looked up at the ceiling; she had left Damien's house, but she could not sleep as her mind kept going back to what had happened. They ended up on the floor after Damien had drunk a lot. He was wasted, and she could not place the reason he was drinking that much. When she noticed that she had to cover him up since she could break his rule to take him upstairs, she secured the room downstairs, but there was nothing to cover up with. She came and sat beside him on the floor as he was spread out with his feet and arms around the place. "Damien," she said in a soft, low voice in case he had a headache. He stirred and turned to the sister. She held his shoulder and shook him a bit so he could wake up and get into his room. "Damien," she called again, but all he did in response was to rub his hands over his face and turn to the other side again; he was almost on his belly now. "What do I do?" She knew how to handle drunk men, but she was not sure she could handle him, considering he

DISSENT

Damien sat on the sofa and looked around; the bits of beer that had been left lying around had been packed away. He stood up; he was drunk but not enough to keep him down the entire morning. He steadied himself before he went into the kitchen. The kitchen was spotless. He wondered if the housekeeper had come already to clean it up or if it was Lila's doing. She had said that she wanted to clean up after eating, but he refused, saying he would get to it when in reality he knew that the housekeeper would come and tidy it up for him. He had no time to spare, and he needed to get a confession out of her. "Mr Calloway?" A voice came from the back door; he turned his head slightly to face her. "Are you just getting here?" He asked her, shocked to see her still in a coat and her bag hanging on her shoulder even though the kitchen and living room were spotless. "Yes, sir," she responded, a bit shocked to see him downstairs. She came early in the morning to get her work done before she lef

FALLY

Lila was a bit worried, but she was trying to push down the feelings she had been feeling back down her body. She hated that she was concerned about him; if he would act as if they were strangers after she thought there was a real connection between them, then that was on him and not her. She sent him a message after their evening to thank him, but he never sent a message back. She had a hard day yesterday as well; she could not stop feeling guilty about the woman she killed, and yet she still had to push herself to work. She even decided to work harder just because she could not help herself. She could not pay for her sins and did not want to wallow in self-pity as much as she felt guilty about the situation.Her ringing phone brought her back from her thoughts. She stared at her phone, shocked, because even though she had given him her number, she never thought they would talk over the phone. "Why would he call me?" she murmured to herself as she took up the phone, contemplating wh

WORRY

"What was that?" "What was what?" Sam asked, dropping the phone to the table and taking up the file he had been studying. Using an excuse of his family house being too noisy for him to study, he moved to Damien's house on Sunday night so he could keep an eye on him all through the night and especially on Monday, the day of the death anniversary. Damien knew that Sam was only doing that because he was worried, and if he made a big deal about it, nothing was going to change. Somehow he being in the house and not allowing the place to feel empty was just what he needed, but there was no way he would tell him that, if he got to know he was grateful for him, he would grow an ego bigger than the size of his head. "You and Lila?" Damien asked again. "Two friends meeting up on Friday for dinner? Sam asked because he was confused. "Why do you have that expression on your face?" he followed up. "I am the one asking the questions now, so pick your own time and ask the questions then," Damie

MELTDOWN

"Has Oliver reached out?" Evangeline asked. Since Gavin told her that he was interested in doing business with him, she had been checking in every day. Oliver had said that he would be the one to reach out and that Gvain did not need to act like a lost puppy around him pleading and asking him to help him; he was going to help him and would wish to do so without being pressured by him. "He has not." "Why don't we just check up on him to make sure that he has not forgotten?" Evangeline said. She couldn't wait to be able to get into places she had been denied access to before. Gavin was not quite yet on the level she needed him to be, and she was going to push him until he got there. "He said he was going to call me when he was ready." "Who knows he might have forgotten?" she said aggigated. She had seen a glimmer of hope, and she was not ready to let it go. How could she? This was her only opportunity to soar higher and bigger than she would have thought. "Why would he forget?" "W

WINE IN A GLASS

Arietta stood in front of the mirror, brushing her hair. She was meeting up with Oliver later that evening, and she was glad that she was since she was left alone in the house. She smiled to herself, so they got back together and in a more loving way now that she and Oliver had been meeting up almost every day. She turned her neck because of the knock on the door. "Could Oliver be here already?" she murmured to herself. "Come in," she said loudly and watched the door knob turn, and then the door crack open gently. "Daddy?" she said, walking briskly to him. "Pumpkin pie," he said happily as he held her in a small hug. She pulled back and took a step back so she could see his face. "What are you doing here? You do not want to come back for another day," she said with surprise on her face. "I wrapped up my business because when I left the house you looked too sad to ignore," Mateo said, looking at her face. He could not understand why, but Seh looked so different from all of the ugly
