"Liam! Yoo-hoo! Liam Westbrook."
Jesus Christ. I can't believe my damn luck. I cannot pretend like I didn't hear her yelling my name. Everyone in a walking radio has stopped to take a lot at the little scene she's causing.
My ears do not mistake me. It is her, running in my direction, on those unbelievable high and pointy heels. Her tits bounced in slow motion, threatening to spill out of her fantastic cleavage. Is it a miracle she hasn't toppled over the sidewalk, or that a crazed man hasn't toppled over and snatched her? She's the human version of Jessica Rabbit, minus the red hair.
How do women manage to move gracefully in those shoes? I have no idea, but they do look good on them? I wonder how my Dolores would look with pointy shoes like those; for sure her ass would look magnificent. I have to find out. As soon as she's standing right in front of me, my current fantasy disappears, and a feeling of apprehension clouds mouth thoughts.

"Sir." "Yes?" "Something came up." I kept my eyes on the road, watching through the heavily tinted windows. "What is it now?" I glanced at my assistant. Like always, fumbling with her little phone. The same one that kept my life in order. "I just go some info that your friend. Miss Kirby." "You mean my girlfriend?" "I–I wasn't aware sir." I guess it was unusual for her, for anyone in that matter. I don't think I ever referred to someone as my girlfriend in the last couple of years, even before meeting Dolores. Jessica was something close to it, but her sudden passing had made not only people around me but the media speculate. "Go on." "Yes, my friend at her firm just told me." "You mean your boyfriend." She blushed heavily and ducked her head. "Tell me. What happened?" "She was fired, she was fired this morning." I had no reason to doubt her, yet I wondered why Dolores hadn't said anythin

"Well fuck," I can't stand this. About an hour ago, I was buying her jewelry, thinking it would be okay with me consenting her a little bit, and this situation turns up, and she denies my help? Fucking unbelievable. "Don't fucking mind me then." "You're cursing too." I can't. Not with her. I can't argue with her. One minute she's crying in my arms now she's pushing me away and telling me she doesn't need me. "What do you want me to do then?" Whatever she thought boyfriends should do, she got it wrong. I'm in this for good, I don't know her, but I saw myself with her in the near future with the forever thing tied together. "I don't know. Right now, I don't know anything." We just sit there. I'm far too infuriating thing straight. I just wanted to offer my help to keep her close. I would have never thought of this reaction. "I have been looking for another job, ever since Beck-." "Don't say his fucking name." The sole mention of the litt

"Where is that duffel bag you had?" He's opening and closing drawers, checking under my bed and closet. I'm trying to stop him. I kept asking him to stop and but he had already made his decision. The bag is now open on top of my bed, and I can't help but wonder about his next move. "Stop. I told you I'm not going anywhere." I'm blocking him, putting my body in between my dresser and him. To him is like I'm nothing. He just pushed me out of the way or lifted me. It happened so quickly that I didn't realize I was being raised. "And I told you you're coming with me whether you want it or not." He pats my but and gently nudges me away. "Liam. Please stop." My bed is full of clothes now. He's making a damn mess. He's not bothering to fold anything; he's just dumping things without even bothering to see what it is. "If you're not helping then please let me work." Again I'm being pushed

"No.""Why? Why the hell not?"Yes. Why the hell not?There wasn't a valid reason that I could think of. We had already done that sleep-together thing; Liam even groped me while pretending to be asleep. Am I taking things too far? Just because I was fired and my life is currently upside down, it doesn't mean I get to be a bitch with him. He is only trying to help me, and I'm being a bitch."Fine." He seemed surprised and then way too happy. "No funny business.""I can't promise anything.""Liam.""Dolores."Child.I give up.I give up. Liam can do whatever he wants. There was no way I was going to win. I sighed and walked to his bed and lay down. Curling into a fetal position. We had been fighting about the same thing for far too long, and I had no energy to continue. Maybe tomorrow, I could figure out a way to make h

Is hard getting used to another body. Even when we fit so well I can't relax, I can't fall asleep either. I guess I am too aware of every single thing around me. My eyes have adapted to the darkness. My sense of smell too, maybe is because he is so close. Actually, he is all over me; one leg over mines, a hand under my shirt. He is far too comfortable and sleeping peacefully while I can't even move. The talk we had earlier about the interviews caught me off guard. He had actually landed me a few interviews for possible jobs with firms I hadn't even imagined applying to. I almost started to refuse but, if I get a job on any of them I'll be able to afford rent and so much more. Even an entry-level position at Scott & Spruce would be enough. That had been too kind of him to make those calls. All I had to do now was to make a good impression, good thing I had previous experience. In a week I would be sitting in front of heads of HR trying to impress them. I needed to find ou

He's handing me something. A blue velvet box, I reach forward but hesitate. This is not the time to be handing down presents. My hand wraps around it, and he lets go. I opened it, and it was not what I expected. Nothing shiny, and it does not look like something super expensive and is totally my style. Three golden chains, one smaller than the other with tiny stars."This is for you."I'm in awe. Liam knows my tastes in jewelry now? I should say something, like thank you or something. "Thank you." Oh god. It sounds weird. I sound funny. Why am I so odd?"Let me put one on.""Oh no." Ok, that's rude. "I can't sleep with jewelry on.""Right."An awkward silence followed by even more awkward silence. Is like we're not comfortable with each other, but we were just a few minutes ago, or at least Liam was. This is confusing. I leave the box beside me and lean forward."I, when I used to have long hair it would get tangled in my jewelry so I

Today is my interview, and I'm a nervous wreck. I forgot everything, even my name and what I'm doing here. I have to clutch my purse in my lap so I won't bite my nails in public. The woman I'm meeting has a considerable reputation and handles the most prominent accounts. I hope that at least I get to serve her coffee. Maybe one day she'll allow me to be in the same room with her.I dressed to impress. I have a blue silk dress shirt and a pencil skirt, medium height pumps, fake pearls, and minimal make-up. Professional. Just like one of those girls on Pinterest. I had woken up extra early and taken my time to do my hair and face. After all the begging, he finally let me go back to my own apartment, but there was a catch; take his money. I'm not sure how this will work, but that for sure meant I had to sleep with him. I didn't want to have sex in exchange for money.I have his money, so he owns me now.Crap.I was not going to think about it; I was already

My dress is too short and also from Forever21. I bet there's not a single woman in here with a 21-dollar dress. My pumps are from last year and my make-up, well, I did that myself. I almost took an hour to get the perfect winged eyeliner, and now I felt like a rag-doll. My technique with the contour kit I had was minimal; it was just red lipstick and mascara. The rest, the rest looked good thanks to my forever tanned skin."I love that dress. Where is it from?"I don't want to say. I also don't want to be here and keep pretending like I belong here."I really don't remember, it was something I had in my closet." I shrug and mentally kick myself. It had been out of the blue purchase. He had asked me if I had a suitable dress and I had said yes. After he left, I ran to the nearest open store and bought the dress after trying it on. After watching myself in the mirror with the complete ensemble, I'm sure I looked decent. Liam liked. He'd said it. So that was all th
