37 Days The green light
POV XWe walk up to the penthouse mostly in silence, dripping water from our bodies and onto the floor creating a trail until we reach my door. When I get it opened, we walk inside taking small steps careful not to slip on the hardwood floors. “I’ll get us some towels,” I say leaving Millie in the kitchen area. I retrieve two white towels and wrap the white cotton around her first before drying myself off. “C'mon let’s get you some new clothes,” I say walking down the hallway to my bedroom and she quietly follows behind. I rummage through drawers finding sweatpants and a T-shirt, she’ll drown in these clothes but I have no other options. I hand her my clothes and then rummage through again looking for clothes for myself. “Thank you,” she says quietly. “Mhm,” I hum out. I take off my soaked button-down shirt and let it fall to the ground. “I’ll change in the bathroom, you can change in here, just let me know when you’re done,” I say walking to the bathroom. I’m half in the b
37 Days Stirring the pot
POV Millie My entire mind and body have gone into overdrive. I missed his touch more than I originally anticipated. I don’t know what made my mind change, was it the beautiful, carefree date? Or was it the image of him standing in the doorway with his shirt off and water dripping delicately from his body? I don’t know either way and I don’t care either way because right now, I want him more than ever. I want our bodies to become one. X reaches over me, opening the bedside drawer. He fetches out a condom and kneels on the bed between my aching legs. He rips the top of the wrapper with his teeth and spits it off to the side. “Are you sure about this baby? I don’t want you to feel pressured.” He asks looking down at me. I don’t say anything I just nod my head. He slides the condom on, preparing for what’s to come and the anticipation in me is building. He slowly enters himself into me, I can’t help the moan that escapes my lips. “Fuck, I missed you.” He says hoarsely. He ever so
37 Days Forgive and forget
POV Millie I drive myself back to the hotel, full of emotions. I don’t know how to feel about any of what happened tonight. I went there intending to break things off and then I have sex with him? What is wrong with me?!When I get back to the hotel, I open the door and am shocked to see Steph sitting on the couch. I assumed she’s been giving me space after last night's episode. “Hey,” I say faintly. “Hey,” she says at the same level of volume. I set down the lavender sun dress and notes onto the kitchen counter and walk over to the couch sitting beside her. She looks me up and down confused by my clothing. “Don’t ask..” I say. She gives me a shy smile. “I’m sorry Mills, I was just trying to protect you,” she says in despair. “I know Steph, I know,” I say understanding her point of view.“Penelope told me..” I say with a loud exhale. “What?!” She asks in shock. “Yeah..small world, she bartends at the place Nick took me to,” I say rolling my eyes. “What the fuck..?” She st
37 Days Surprise, surprise
POV XI haven’t talked to Millie since Sunday night and it’s killing me, I’ve picked up my phone countless times to call her but never went through with it. I want her to approach me when she’s ready. I’ve been burying myself in work, if I take another phone call I think I’ll just lose my shit. Since I haven’t been traveling since the whole incident, I’ve been doing extra work in the meantime. Making a deal with Hugo would’ve brought in so much money but honestly how much money do I really need? I have enough money to get me through two lifetimes. At the end of the day, the deal with Colombia was just to emit more power to myself. I hear a knock at my front door from the office I’ve been practically living in for days. Please be Millie..I walk through the hallway half excited, half nervous for what she’ll say. Please don’t break my heart any further. I open the door but I am sadly mistaken when it’s not Millie on the other side, it’s Adria..“You really just don’t know when to qui
37 Days Taken Interest
POV Millie It’s now Friday morning and I dread having to go into work today to see Nick. I curl my hair, brushing it out after it’s set. I do my makeup in neutral tones so it doesn’t look like I’m trying to dress up for him today. I walk out of the bedroom ready to go but still have a little time before I have to leave. I make myself a hot coffee. I don’t add anything in, I take a sip of the black coffee. “Yeah, no, not happening..” I say to myself with a scrunched face. I grab the French vanilla coffee creamer out of the fridge, adding more than usual to dissipate the gross plain black coffee I had to force down my throat. “So much better,” I say to myself with a smile. “Are you having a conversation with yourself mills?” Steph asks coming out of her room. I laugh, “maybe…” “Whatcha guys talking about?” She asks with a grin. “Coffee,” I say proudly. “Well can Millie 1, ask Millie 2 to make me a cup while she’s at it?” Steph asks sitting on a barstool. “They say yes,” I sa
37 Days Contract is a contract
POVX“Did you even read the contract?” I ask laughing with my question.I know the answer to that when she sits up straighter. “No..” she says.She makes it so damn easy for me.“I did this for you, X!” Adria says panicked. “No, Adria you did this for no one other than you,” I say calmly, pressing my fingertips into her small framed shoulders and she flinches from underneath.I’m about to show her who really is the boss in this house. “But ya know, I am going to do something for me now, I haven’t done anything selfish in a while and I owe it to myself to do this,” I say whispering in her ear again. “Please, X” she begs, she knows me well enough to know what’s coming next.“I wish I could say that this won’t bring me any greater joy than what I’m about to do Adria, but it does. It didn’t have to be this way, you could’ve just kept to yourself, did your job like everyone else but it just was never enough for you. I took pity on you when I allowed for you to stay but you know, deep
37 Days Figure it out
POV Millie As we’re finishing up our two-hour-long walk, stopping plenty of times to sit and talk, we make it back to the hotel entrance. “I had a really good time, Em,” Nick says genuinely. “Yeah, me too,” I say with a smile. “I still can’t believe the way you jumped when you saw that mouse crawl out of that garbage bin,” I say with a laugh. “Hey! I was startled!” He says with a laugh. “Yeah, yeah, whatever you say,” I say teasing him. “Well, I should probably get goin', you have an early morning,” Nick says tilting back and forth on his heels. “I mean…yeah…but we could maybe just have one drink?” I suggest. He lifts an eyebrow at me, “Okay, yeah, sure.”We walk into the lobby together and go up the elevator, for some odd reason, I have this gut instinct that something is just off, not particularly with Nick, but just in general. It’s probably just from the guilt I’m feeling or my nerves. As we walk down the hallway, my gut instincts were right, he’s leaned up against the
37 Days Forgotten
POVMillie I sit along the wall in the hotel hallway with Nick still out. At first, I was afraid X may have killed him with that punch but I see that he’s breathing. It’s going to be really awkward if another hotel guest comes waltzing down the hall. Luckily, this floor is a pretty quiet one. Nick starts to move a little, I think he may be getting out of his unconscious state. He opens his eyes and sees me looking down at him. He perks up and scoots away from me like I’m the devil himself. “Where is he?!” he asks frightened looking around. Gee, guess I could count on him to protect me if I needed it…“He’s gone, Nick,” I say. “Why didn’t you tell me you were X’s?!” He asks belittling me. “I’m not his, he doesn’t own me,” I say annoyed. “Sorry..” he says trying to recover himself. I lean my head against the wall behind me, “sorry about all of this.” I say not looking at him. “It’s not your fault Millie, X is…” he says trailing off. “I know, you don’t need to explain, since w
