Behind Curtains
~Cali~
My heart hummed at the sweet melody of his voice.
He’s here, right behind me. I can sense it, the intensity of his gaze burning holes in the back of my head.
“Fuck off, Carter,” honestly, I couldn’t care less about what Dixon is saying, or about my computer that will probably need a hard disk saving by now.
I don’t want to be here, but I want to be here.
I’m going mad.
My heart is going crazy. It wants to come out of my body and jump to the owner of that voice. However, my feet have other plans.
My hands clutched the lining of my coat, shivers drowning me. It was instinct that had my feet moving away from him, not wanting

EVAN Hey There, Casanova
~Cali~ Days went on after that brief encounter I had with him. He left me confused, wondering what the hell his problem was. I waited for his email, or for any gift from him - anything - but none came. It’s like he never existed in my life again. Maybe he’s still mad about his pained nuts. Or he realized how much of a lame lay I am, how hard it is to understand me. I don’t even understand myself; how can I expect him to understand me? I hate feeling like this. ~~ It’s almost time for me to get ready for the first launch of Ren’s label. Yet here I am, with a hazy mind from hanging upside down from my bed. The blood rushing in the wrong way is not good for my brain cells. His
EVAN Plans
~Evan~ I’ve been watching her all night since she arrived with her father. Such a beauty she is. I willed myself not to drink tonight, needing my head to be clear of alcohol influence when I talk to her - try to talk to her. The little black dress she has on further enhanced her creamy skin. She showed enough skin on her chest, back and legs for every man’s mouth in this function hall to water with the sight of her. My hands balled on my side, needing to wipe their lustful glare at my Princess. Devin’s words are turning into an unbreakable prophecy. Now that I learned who she is, how perfect her life compared to my shitty one - how perfect she is - made me want her more. I’m not worthy of her, I know this, but I need her in my life, but am I willing to ask her to fight for me?
EVAN Why?
~Cali~ Cold night loomed over Manhattan. Everyone headed home for the weekend, and I’m still in the office, working overtime again. I sighed, deciding to call it a day, holding my bag in one hand and my phone with the other, stepping inside the lift. I was still answering a few important emails while returning the greetings of the few night shift employees on the way to the basement parking. I yelped when a quick hand snatched my phone and bag. “What the-“ a hand covered my mouth. I stumbled back up to the car behind me, and blazing honey brown eyes met my widened green ones. I dreaded the day I would see him again. He invaded my dreams, my paintings, and my mind, but seeing him in person has proven to be another kind of reality. An unnerving kind.
EVAN Bare
~Cali~ A sour laugh left my mouth as I mumbled, “why? Why did I leave?” I shook my head, taking another bottle of the beer set on top of the counter. I down some more alcohol to ease my parched pipes. “Why wouldn’t I? You lied to me-“ He shook his head, regarding me with emotions I can’t point out. Disappointment? Pain? “Don’t stare at me like that.” I tilted the bottle in my lips. “I asked you if you were in a relationship-“ “That’s not what I’m asking, Princess.” He’s as calm as a windless summer day - the opposite of me, a hailstorm mess. “Why did you leave without asking me?” “Ask you what?” my voice rising as I continued, “ask you who Shannon is? If she’s pregnant with your child?”
EVAN Show & Tell
~Cali~ Words aren’t enough to say how sorry I am, how much I regret my decision. His eyes, so beautiful even in his sadness, lips quivering as I stare at him, offering myself for a dreaded punishment. “Evan,” I repeated. His beguiling name should be a sin for me to even dare utter. I’m not worthy of this man, “forgive me.” He hauled me, our lips colliding roughly, making me wince in pain. A kiss of hellfire, filled with so much anger and passion... desire. His kiss is mad and needy, and I understand why. Evan’s hands came around my nape, threading through my shoulder length hair. Pulling and fisting, the same rough gesture that I’m doing with his locks.
EVAN Imperfect You
~Cali~ With a smile on my lips, I beat the morning from dawning, a routine my body came accustomed to. Being a workaholic is something I inherited from my father. How I wish I also inherited his beautiful singing voice, even just an itty bitty piece of it. Barefoot, I padded to Evan’s ensuite to ease my bladder. While I washed my hands, I took a glance at my reflection in the vanity mirror. As usual, I’m the epitome of a mess. My hair that resonates that of a bird’s nest is my crowning glory. What surprised me is the glow present on my cheek. I have a fairly fair skin; I was never insecure about my color, but I always think that I’m a bit too pale. This morning though is a different story. There is this natural crimson paint on my cheeks, my lips pink and full from t
EVAN Yes, You May
~Cali~Is it so bad that knowing his reason for staying away made my heart swell with happiness? I got him back and I’m never running away from him again.What he did should rub me in the wrong way. Instead of allowing me to decide on my own, he chose to decide for me, but no, I don’t find it offending at all. It’s too kind of him to put my reputation first before his feelings, like what he always did when we’re together.It only conveys that I meant more to him.On the island, he never goes to sleep before me, no matter how tired we were. When we ate that lobster he caught, he even separated the meat from the shell for me, even if I’m capable of doing it myself. Those simple things scream a lot about this man. Those little gestures of his t
EVAN Definitely Whipped
~Cali~ “Did you notice something off with Dad?” I laid on my bed, freshly showered and in a change of clothing, staring at the ivory ceiling. “Hm,” Ren hummed on the other line, “what do you mean?” The shuffling of plates and kitchen utensils in the background echoed, followed by Griffin’s voice. “Zia!” he screamed on the phone. His voice never fails to put a smile on my lips. “Zia!” his voice is a bit closer now. Ren must’ve put me on speaker. “How is my favorite man in the world?” I cooed, Griffin giggled. “Papa, Zio Evan and I made a house,” he blabbered. He’s three years old now and like what Ren used to say, he’s growing up too fast. “House?” I inquired, waiting for Ren
