VictorOh, Davi, you don't know what you did. You have no idea. I am grinning as I walk down the stairs. Preying on my pregnant fiancee and then kidnap her? That took balls, but now I will make him pay for it in the most painful possible. He is chained to the wall right now, just like how he kept Madison in his basement.The tables have turned, and Davi is now at your mercy, chained to the wall just as he had kept Madison captive. I approach him slowly, relishing in the fear that now consumes him. The dimly lit basement amplifies the tension in the air, and my footsteps echo through the wall."Now, Davi," I say. "What should I do with you?""I am not scared of you," Davi barks at me.A chilling smile spreads across my face as I lean in closer to Davi, his defiance only fueling my determination."Oh, Davi, you underestimate me, you always have," I hiss. "You should've known better than to touch something that's mine.""That's exactly why I took her," Davi grins. "I wanted you to kno
FridaMy eyes scan the shelves after the food items written on my grocery list. I have a date tonight with a guy named Kevin, someone I've been talking with online for a few weeks now. He seems nice, but at the same time, I feel guilty for agreeing to cook dinner for him tonight.The only reason I'm seeing Kevin is that he reminds me of the guy that I'm crushing on but who is entirely out of my league—Stanley, my best friend's older brother.A shudder passes through me as an image of Stanley's winning smile flashes through my head. That guy is truly too attractive for his own good: brown hair that is longer at the top and shorter on the sides, clean-shaven, blue eyes, and a sexy happy trail leading down from his navel. He is addicted to squirrels, and whenever he feels like buying a new painting, he hits the gym, so he is HUGE.But I bet a tall guy like Stanley, someone who stands at six-foot-five, wouldn't date a five-foot-nothing like me. Does he even see me as a woman? I've never b
FridaYesterday's date with Kevin went well. He liked my spaghetti and was very well-mannered in how he ate and behaved. It took him three seconds to figure out I'm living like a European, and I was so pleased when he took off his shoes willingly. Big plus point there, and then he also helped me with the dishes after we finished eating dinner.He is a nice guy, but perhaps a little bit boring? I kept trying to make him talk and share more personal information about himself by asking him questions. Though, every answer he gave me only consisted of a few sentences. There was no depth to the conversation or over-sharing. Everything was vague, but maybe he was nervous?I grimace. Somehow I doubt that. Kevin came off as the kind of person that drinks water "fresh" from the store, never from the tap. Likes to travel occasionally, but nothing that feels like he is camping. Not very outdoorsy but goes to the gym. Biggest fear is probably mosquitos. Hobbies include watching TV series with figu
FridaWhen I walk into my apartment after a long day at the gym, Zarah, my roommate, is making dinner. The whole apartment smells like pancakes, and I lift an eyebrow.“Since when do you cook?” I ask, a bit worried since the last time I ate my goth roomie’s cooking, I had diarrhea that stuck around for two entire days.“The guy I’m trying to impress told me he loves homecooked meals, especially breakfast, so I’m following a Youtube recipe for the best pancakes,” Zarah answers and sticks out her head from the kitchen. She is holding a spatula in her hand, and I’m shocked to see that she isn’t wearing black.“What happened to the emo clothes?”At that question, she actually laughs. It shocks me a little since the sadist rarely ever smiles when the two of us are alone. She does it a lot around Madison, though, our third friend in the gang.“I’m widening my horizons, I guess,” she shrugs. “I didn’t think it would be that much of a big deal.”“Since I haven’t seen you wear any other color
StanleyIn the past, I didn't pay much attention to girls. My true passion is working out and reading so I didn't think dating was all that. I especially didn't pay attention to any of Madison's friends because that's just weird!But her friend Frida...well, she kind of caught my attention. From the very first time I met her, something about Frida stood out to me. It isn't just her looks, though. I mean, there's no denying that she is undeniably attractive. She has those beautiful brown eyes and is so petite and cute. I'm usually into taller girls, but I could hardly keep my eyes off Frida.What I noticed about her most is her assertive personality. She seems like the kind of girl who likes to take charge, and I like that.I can't wait to start training her at the gym...The day finally comes, so I start doing some pre-workout stretches in front of my mirror before meeting Frida at the gym.I look back and grin at my favorite squirrel statue: Mr. Bubbles. He makes me smile and eases m
Frida"And then what did he say?"I smile as Madison looks at me eagerly. After I finished working out with Stanley, I went to see Madison and her little kiddies. Those boys are so freaking cute!"He just stared at me like I was speaking a foreign language and then mumbled something. And after I asked him to repeat, he said he like all girls with all body types," I say.Madison giggles. "That's such a copout answer!""I know, right!" I laugh along with her.Madison and I share a mischievous glance, reveling in our shared amusement. I always love to gossip with her. We are sitting comfortably in her cozy living room, sipping on cups of steaming tea while her children play nearby."He seriously thought he could get away with that line?" Madison exclaims, shaking her head in disbelief.My smile widens. "Oh, but I didn't let him off the hook that easily. I called him out on his clichéd response and asked him for his honest opinion. You should have seen the look on his face!"Madison burst
StanleyHow did I get stuck making this commitment for Madison? Babysitting four toddlers...what was I thinking saying yes to that!?But then again, it was Madison who asked. My little sister. The one I practically raised when our parents were absent. How could I say no to her? She needed my help, and deep down, I knew I couldn't turn her down.But now I am nervous. What if something goes wrong? What if one of the quadruplets gets hurt? The thought of Victor's reaction sent shivers down my spine. He was fiercely protective of his children, and rightly so. If anything happened to them under my watch, he would be furious and will probably kill me.I mean, seriously, he might actually kill me!I put on a white T-shirt and paired it with a pair of ripped jeans. I didn't even bother to brush my hair. It's not like the babies would care how I present myself. They just needed someone to take care of them, keep them safe, and entertain them.I got this.I take one last look at myself, then he
FridaI stare at him dumbfounded, time seems to stand still. Stanley just kissed me!Then, I gradually close my eyes and return the kiss, my lips meeting his with a softness that sends a tingling sensation throughout my body.After what feels like an eternity, we slowly pull away, our eyes meeting in an intense gaze. My cheeks are warm with a blush, I can just feel it. I sink my teeth into my lower lip as if trying to process the sudden turn of events."I... I didn't expect that," I stammer."I didn't either," Stanley replies. "But there's something about you, Frida. I couldn't help it. I hope you aren't angry at me.""I... I'm not angry," I say softly, my voice filled with a mixture of vulnerability and curiosity. "In fact, I'm... I'm glad you kissed me."Stanley grins. "Is that right?""I mean, you don't have to look so smug about it! But it was a nice kiss," I say quickly.Stanley's grin widens, and he chuckles softly at my remark. "I can't help but feel a little smug when I know
