"Hey! Get the fuck out of the streets!" The driver of the car shouted at me when he almost hit me.Apologizing, I stepped back on the gutter and slapped my forehead.Heading to the shed, I wiped my face clean and waited for a cab.But an unexpectedly familiar car stopped right in front of me and rolled his window."Josh.""Are you just going to stand there? Get in."With a bit of hesitation, I hopped in his car and thanked him silently."I heard everything," Joshua told me."H-- how?""That restaurant, I have a job to take pictures for an ad, and as a part of their payment, they offered me a free dinner," he began. "I was sitting two tables away from you."Nodding my head, I felt even more embarrassed for myself."Stop thinking about it. Whatever that old bitch told you was a lie."I only hummed and looked outside the window.The silence is eating the noise from outside. The low volume of the stereo feeds the calmness while my mind's war cries."Thank you," my shaking voice whispered.
"Ms. Allen!" Maddie's eyes went wide when she saw me in the lobby. "What are you doing here? You are not supposed to be here."Holding out my resignation paper, I gestured my whole self before her eyes.I'm not properly attired for work. A simple black bodycon dress that hugs my curve. The typical look that rich people would raise an eyebrow about."You're leaving us?"Maddie's acting as if I'm her favorite employee. There's confusion on her face and something that's mixed with pity that I don't need."But why?""Because I'm dying, Maddie."There's nothing wrong with being real once in a lifetime. It's not that wrong to be literal at times, especially for me, who had long been living an artificial rotten life.With a constipated smile, I offered her, I watched how she paused while staring at me in worry."Ms. Allen...""Kidding, Maddie. I'm just looking for a new environment." Excusing myself after making an excuse, I headed to the lift and hit his floor number.There's a reason why Ma
Eric told me that he was going to bring me somewhere we could run away from what was chasing our tail. But to what welcomed me, we didn't just run. We flew."This is the very far place to run to. Taking me miles away from our hometown.""It's summer." He adjusted his shades and smiled at me when he saw my frown. "For us," he added."I didn't know that summer extends until November," I stridently uttered."It lasts until we're in heat," he said before snaking his hands inside my sweatshirt.The heat of Honolulu became hotter with his one touch.My shoulders rose, and the tension of my body stiffened. I can feel the tingling sensation on my spine. It's so ticklish that it makes my toes curl.Chuckling awkwardly, I held his hand to a halt when his fingers approached my bust."Hold on for a second."Facing him wholly, I squinted my eyes at him and crossed my arms. Would it ruin the mood if I got to act like a fool?I'm not that easy to get."What?" He asked, gripping on the banister, trap
Every graze of the head of his manhood on my flesh teases my wetness. Every soaking sound it makes feeds my anticipation."Oh, Nicole," he hissed and surprisingly slammed himself inside of me.My scream must have reached miles and miles from every direction.He's driving me crazy. He's great at it.Hands are gripping on the sheets, eyes are closed, yet lips are parted widely.The strokes he's giving me, the powerful thrusts breaking my everything, and I like the way it sends me to heaven.With my droopy eyes, I could see his eyes growing darker and wilder as he watched me climb my way to my climax.He grunts in pleasure, and it serves my aroused desire.There's nothing smooth in his moves, and it's more than right. Reaching my inner spot that pokes the switch of my release.While I drowned in pleasure, his eyes never left my face. His mouth parted at the sight, swallowing every time I whimpered shakily."Oh, Eric!" I uncontrollably called for his name while feeling the knot in my stom
It felt like I was in a dream. A very beautiful one. But in this dream, I know that one day it will end. Not when I wake, but when I sleep eternally."Seasick?" Eric's voice caught me floating in space."No," I answered. "Just thinking about what's gonna happen next."Humming, he hugged me from behind and fixed our eyes on the beauty of the sea.Sailing in the sea, the small yacht took a stop in the middle. Just the two of us and the sight of the sun burning the sea.His hand rested on my belly as his head settled on my shoulder.I can feel his breath hitting my skin, tickling my neck. I can feel his heat sizzling the hairs of my body. I can only feel him within me."I want us this way," I heard him say.Simple, but it made a hole in my heart."I want to have a family of my own with you," he added. It's something I didn't expect him to say.No one has ever said such a serious thing to me, but a charmed Eric. Somehow, it caused a small, appreciable smile on my lips.Just's what I need
"Are you ready for me, baby?" Eric whispered.His breath tickled my ear, and it dropped my system to sleep. But Serena's impatient face is disturbing me."Wait, hold on." Pushing him lightly, I chased for my breath."What?" He sounded annoyed because his arousal hadn't been touched yet. "Come on, baby, I need you now."His lips sealed mine, and it was very tempting to kiss back and ignore Serena. But the problem is, I just couldn't.He worked his hand on my thigh, caressing and pinching."Eric, wait, I need a restroom," I excused. "I have to get ready first."Teasing a bite on my neck, Eric growled like an animal before lifting his head to take a look at my face."Just a second." I winced.Grunting, Eric rolled to the side, but his hands weren't letting me go. They're still on my thigh, sensually touching and sparking the heat."Hurry up, please?"I stared at his beautiful face for a moment and studied his beauty and adoration before leaving him in bed.Quickly, I slipped myself insid
Levitated from the ground, air whooshed from every direction, and the light became brighter and brighter than my eyes could bear.Voices from the past began echoing in my earsMy mother's lullaby, my dad's boisterous laugh. The nursery rhymes I learned, the unforgettable things I encountered when I was younger.The name calls I received from the bullies. The sound of trusting leaves at my mother's hometown, the happy birthday song for me.Receiving the world's grumbling news of my parent's death. All the things that happened, the good and the bad, all played before my eyes and ears at once before everything went blank and quiet.I stood in the middle of nowhere."Now what?" I asked myself.Looking around, there is no nothing left to see but darkness. As if I was brought into the further."Where am I?""In time."As soon as I heard Serena's voice, I pivoted and followed where her voice came from.There she is, smiling at me softly."So, this is it, right?""Right where you wanted," Ser
I don't know what happened, but it seems like the past Serena brought me took a different path.All the people I knew were jumbled into different positions in life. Only that their personality is still the same.Eric is who he was, but he's married. Zaya's not as fancy as I recall, and Joshua, I didn't notice anything about him but his smile.The sound of a closing door stole my attention.Eric stepped out of his office with his phone clammed in between his ear and shoulder while he fixed the strap of his bag.I don't know what has gotten into me that I accepted the job clerking for him when I finished my studies. And I'm passionate about designing.But instead of complaining, I see this as an opportunity to be closer to him.Even if he's married.Is that wrong?"Yes, I already fired her. What else do you want me to do?" I heard him talk over the phone.While I fix my eyes on the monitor, I eavesdrop on his conversation with that someone. And I'm guessing that it's his current wife th
