ILLICIT AFFAIRS Fifty-One: Sisters’ Moment
LISADamn!Fuck!Shit!I stared at Angel and she stared back at me, gaze unwavering and a blank look in her eyes.Fuck!I decided to play smart. I decided to play Angel’s games knowing fully that she was a smartass and she might only be playing a mind game.I hide my fear with a snicker. “What are you talking about?”“Don’t play dumb, Lisa, it's unbecoming of you.”“I'm not playing dumb, if you want me to understand you, then maybe you should learn to be more vocal.”She chuckled slightly and she took her time to chew her food before looking at me again.“Are you going to tell me that you were not with Axel at Kay’s show?”My frown deepened, hiding the fear and panic that was starting to bloom within me.“Axel Ivanov?”“We both don't know another Axel apart from him.”“Kay’s show?” I said the word with enough confusion to confuse even the surest man and I made sure that my eyes remained locked on hers. Looking away was part of my weakness and I wasn't the type to show any weakness,
ILLICIT AFFAIRS Fifty-Two: Avoiding Him
LISA“You've been avoiding me, Red.”It was neither a question nor an observation, it was a statement and my heart lurched in my chest at the voice and Axel’s presence. He was right. I had been avoiding him like a coward and I realized that wasn't the way out of our situation. I couldn't go on avoiding him forever and I have to be upfront about what I wanted with our relationship.I turned around to look at him and my heart did skip a beat when I saw him. I had almost forgotten how sinfully handsome he was and now that he was dressed casually, in black jeans, a tee shirt, and an unbuttoned shirt with rolled-up sleeves that made butterflies take to race in the pit of my stomach.Damn! He was too handsome and I was badly attracted to him.“What are you talking about?” I feigned ignorance with a little smile on my face.“Come on, Lisa,” his voice was hard and rough, “you know what I'm talking about.”“No, I don't, just because we've been so caught up with classes and we've not had time
ILLICIT AFFAIRS Fifty-Three: He Found Me
LISA"You seriously need to be arrested for the way you've actually managed to wrap yourself in all those baggies and keep your body away from us like this."That was Tana's way of hyping me up and telling me I look hot and pretty in my long body con red gown that stuck to my body like a second skin. Even I knew and was certain that I was attractive and my gown was dangerous and provocative. Dangerous and provocative. I looked at myself in the mirror, looked at how low my cleavage ran and how sinfully hot I looked in this excuse of a gown.I couldn't wait to see Axel's reactions to my gown.I paused at the sudden thought in my brain. I wasn't dressing up for Axel. Why would I even dress up for him? I've managed not to think about him since the last time we were together after he dragged me off to his house after he cornered me for avoiding him all week long and he had made heavy on his promise of requiring more space to carry out the wicked things he wanted to do to my body as he ma
ILLICIT AFFAIRS Fifty-Four: An End To This
LISAHe pulled me into his arms as the slow music started to play and everybody started to dance with their partners.One of his hands encircled my waist and pulled me closer my flattening on my lower back while the other intertwined with my hand as our bodies started to move slowly to the slow music. My heart wouldn’t stop racing in my chest at our close proximity which wasn’t even anything. We’ve been standing in closer proximity before, especially those times when we did not have our clothes on and he was busy driving my body and mind to the edge of insanity with the skillfulness that was his hands and months. But there was something about this, about his hand on my lower back and his finger pad that was moving absentmindedly over it, about his hand that was intertwined with mine as our bodies glided slowly to the music. There was something euphoric about it, something beautiful that made me lightheaded, like made me feel all fuzzy inside, that made me feel a warm feeling in the
ILLICIT AFFAIRS Fifty-Five: An End To This Part 2
AXEL"We need to put an end to an end to this,” she told me calmly as she stared right back into my eyes and I blacked out for a minute, willing my ears so I hear what I just heard.“What thing?” I asked her, mimicking her calm tone because she surely didn’t mean what I think she meant.“This thing between us,” she gestured to the tiny space between us, “it has to stop, we’re risking a lot of things just because of physical intimacy and I can’t do it to anyone. My prestige and respect are on the line if I get caught.”Wow! All night long, I almost lost my mind and sanity because of how she was dressed. I’ve been tethering over the edge of insanity since I saw her in that red gown since I pulled her into my arms since her scent assaulted my nose. I’ve tried to distract myself by engaging that girl just because I don’t want to scare her with how much I needed her back in there. Heck, I couldn’t even think straight while looking into her eyes, fuck, I couldn’t think at all. She had almost
ILLICIT AFFAIRS Fifty-Six: Missing Her?
AXEL“Fucking hell,” I cursed under my breath as the sharp edge of the paper tore the skin of my finger and I instinctively lifted the finger to my mouth to lick the tiny blood off. I felt a pair of eyes on me and I looked up to see Prince staring at me with a comical look in his eyes. “Care to share what’s funny?” I bite out.“Care to share why you’ve been on edge since morning?” He asked casually, that comical smile still on his lips.“On edge?” I asked, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”But of course, I do know what he was talking about. I haven’t been myself since two nights ago when Red called it off.“Of course, you know what I’m talking about,” he spelled out for me with his eyes still locked on mine, “you’ve been on edge since morning, you’ve hardly concentrated on the files we’re supposed to sort through, your mind seems to be all over the place which is so unlike you and now you’re cutting paper cuts. Really? Axel? That’s unfathomable.”Fuck Prince for being so cyn
ILLICIT AFFAIRS Fifty-Seven: Letting Go
LISA“You know you've been acting unusual, right?” Tana asked me from her bed and I rolled my tired body over so I could look at her. “Why do you mean I’ve been acting unusual?” I asked even though I knew what exactly she was talking about. I haven't been myself since three nights ago when Axel walked away from me.I know I asked him to leave but I wasn't sure what I wanted him to do, to give me a reason to stay, to try to fight for us or something. And then he had walked away leaving me standing in the ember of my ashes, in the shattering of my heart. I wasn’t sure how I got back to the hostel and ever since I got back to the hostel, I’ve barely been functioning. My routine felt mundane, boring and it felt like my life had come to a sudden and startling halt. I was barely able to listen in class and once the class was over, I’d rush back home to bury myself under my duvet. I tried to distract myself by getting lost in programming and coming up with new security codes but everythin
ILLICIT AFFAIRS Fifty-Eight: Love Or Something Like That.
AXELI took another shot and I gulped it down in one go.The loud music and excited screams in the bar did nothing to better my mood and alleviate my worries. If anything, it was worsening it and I knew I should leave, I should go back home but I badly needed this distraction. I badly needed something or someone that'd take my mind off the turmoil that Lisa had plunged me into.Or better put, the turmoil that Prince's observation had put me into."This is not just about you being into her, you're in love with her."I was in love with her? No, I wasn't. I was clear on that as the day was daylight. I wasn't in love with Lisa. I couldn't be in love with her but what was this hollow hole in my heart? What was this hollow space in my heart after she walked away? What was this irrational need to call her and get her to go back on her words? What was this insane desire to call her and hear her voice? What was this bizarre need to go over and see her face and hear her laugh and just bask in t
