OLIVIAFinally, the long awaited trip has arrived and as promised, Aurora didn't fuck up the schedule. If anything, she was on time and our ever so on time Katherine was a tad bit late for our flight. Aurora is sleeping on the sofa opposite to Katherine, who is setting up a last minute presentation for her cousin to help her illustrate on Monday. I'm amazed by how easily she's fallen asleep just now, she was on the phone with her daughter and Emelia before she started dozing in her seat. Our flight landed an hour ago and most of us slept during the flight but Aurora couldn't sleep, she kept humming to herself.I understand her work has messed with her sleeping pattern so badly that even when she has the day off, she's sleeping during the day and laying awake half the night. She works hard, she doesn't think she does but I see it, and I do hope she catches a break from bartending to work on herself better.Aurora's phone begins to vibrate on the table, I take a quick glance at it and b
AURORA AGE FIFTEENToday, I learned something new about myself. Something I didn't think was possible.I am absolutely utterly, mindlessly in love with Caelum, I love him so much that the mere thought of him has me feeling butterflies all over again. Most teenagers start off with marijuana then trail off to stronger drugs and I have too, Caelum is my own personal nicotine, so in a way I'm always higher than the stoners at my school.Caelum said he'd be visiting his grandparents with his mom who just returned from her vacation two days ago. I haven't heard from Caelum, he does send me text messages but somehow that's not enough, I want to see him for myself, I want to breathe him in. Katherine, Olivia, Grace and I just got back from the youth Wednesday service along my little sister Arabella. We're at the corner smoothie shop, I had suggested we go elsewhere but Katherine wanted to come here so she could stare at the cute waiter she'll never have courage to speak to.“Aurora,” I hear m
SCARLETTCaelum is in a mood.He's constantly having temperamental days and I've learned to stay away from him during those times, I keep myself at arms length because I don't want to be on his bad side, ever.For the last three to four hours he's been on his phone, making calls that don't seem to be going through and those that do make him yell at whoever is on the end. I'm sitting quietly in the next room, watching him work from home with his car keys next to him which indicate he's most likely to leave anytime soon.Caelum might be upset but I'm enjoying this. I love having him home on my days off, he treats me so good on those days, way more than he does on typical days if I'm being honest.My phone dings, the screen lighting up with an email. I'm very quick to pick it up, not wanting to wait for important news from my manager, who also happens to be my cousin on my dad's side of the family. It's an email from one of the companies I'm signed with, a newly formed lingerie company a
AURORAI had a long nap and sometimes naps make me tired but it's girls weekend, and I won't be the one to ruin it because she misses her daughter or much less because she's turning into a nap addict. Everyone has been so pumped for this trip, and I believe it's going to be a great experience for everyone and we have our dear friend group child Grace to thank for coming up with the idea.“Aurora!” Katherine calls out for the second time in less than five minutes. She's made a habit of calling out to me constantly so I don't miss my daughter calling me every few minutes.“Yeah?” I laugh, the eyeliner in my hand shaking when I do.“Your phone is ringing again..” I hear her say, walking through the door that joins our room to that of Olivia and Grace.I instantly veer back, taking my buzzing phone from her, I have an inkling of who is calling before I even check the screen. “Oi oi oi, somebody bring a fire extinguisher because Katherine is on fire.” I grin, making her blush instantly. Ka
*****“Pour me another one!” Olivia giggles through the music.We're in the backseat of the Limousine, getting tipsy before we even step into the club. Katherine and her high tolerance for alcohol started long before any of us was bathed and ready. We took a few pictures back at the hotel and posted them to our Instagram pages, well I just posted two pictures, one with all of us and another with just me, it's a mirror selfie with the stupidest caption, "Rumor is spreading tonight."“This tastes exactly how I imagine I taste,” Olivia grins. “Expensive.”“That's one way to break the ice on a first date.” I snort, taking a sip of my wine.Everyone giggles lightly, the mood getting absolutely lightened when I hear ...... Playing through the speakers. Katherine is quick to start us off with the song, with Olivia joining her before Katherine and I simultaneously chime in. The song brings back so many memories, memories that smell like melted ice cream and ad choices in men.When the song di
CAELUMI love a good lingerie opening show, and as the husband of a supermodel, I've learned to appreciate the various brands and designs of lingerie. Yet tonight, as I sat through a full hour of women of all shapes, sizes and color model lingerie, I couldn't help but see it all as bland and common and none of the models picked my interest. Usually I would be picking which woman to fuck at the end of the night the moment the show begins but I sat through an entire show, pissed at everything there is in existence and the credit goes to one woman, Aurora. I saw her face on half the women on that stage tonight, fantasizing her in the kind of ravishing lingerie of her personal brand while her words from earlier echoed in my head. How dare she leave without my consent and hang up on me to top it all of?Aurora is a fucking drug, and right now, I need my hit. Even as I stand next to Scarlett's friend Eva I'm irritated, nursing a glass of vodka while she goes on and on about my wife and how
“You like this?” I ask her, setting the remote control back down. I stride to the sofa that directly faces the tv and lower myself onto it, sitting Layla beside me. She scowls, her eyes already watering. “No no, please don't cry on me. At least wait until Lia gets back.”Her lip quivers, and she opens her mouth, a cry falling from her parted lips.“Do you need something? Water? Juice? A cupcake?” I blurt out in a panic, hoping to get an answer from her. I feel stupid, trying to converse with a crying child.“Wait,” I let out, an idea clicking. My hand reaches into my pocket and fetches my wallet. I look up from it and back to Layla as I open it. I fetch a $100 bill from it and extend it towards her. “If you stop crying right now, I'll give this to you.” I tell her but she doesn't quite, she simply looks from the money to me, her watering eyes practically judging me for being stingy. “You are right, I can do better.” I murmur, hastily retrieving a few more dollar bills from my wallet.
EMELIALatter night when returned from Ryker's, I came home to quiet the surprise. Caelum was on the sofa, sound asleep with Layla laying on his chest. They both looked awfully comfortable, and when I tried to take her away from him without waking him up, he pulled out a gun. Of course I should have foreseen it supposing he often carries a gun with him.I had taken a picture prior to attempting to take Layla from him, and when he left, I sent Aurora the picture. Aurora hadn't replied to any of my messages that night, or the morning after. Olivia did however call to inquire about Layla and whenever I asked for Aurora, she was either sleeping or busy with something. I thought it was because she was mad about the picture yesterday morning when I took Layla back to her place, I found out she had lost her phone in Vegas.I love that she had the Vegas trip, it seems like it was therapeutic for her, aside from the hangover she had and drunk calling Caelum that is. My little sister Gia left y
