“Ladies and gentlemen, it's extremely appalling that every project I don't supervise turns out to be a disaster. What are your worths as employees? Please do tell me if you've grown tired of working in this company and I'll gladly hire new and competent people to work for me. You're dismissed.”Sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window that overlooked the rest of LA, Adam watched as one by one, the men and women who worked for Lucas's family company marched out of the boardroom, all with surly expressions on their faces.Lucas's father who'd been standing in a corner and watching everything that was going waited till all the employees had left, then crossed over to where his son stood in front of the CEO's chair.Lucas turned to him with frustrated eyes. “Is this how it was when you were the CEO, Dad? I'm surprised you would even entertain them. It's like it's better to do everything on your own.” He shot at his father rather flippantly.“You know, I'm going to forgive that disrespectfu
"Hey, girl!" June and Victoria burst into Eva's room cheerily."Hey." Surprised, Eva attempted to inject enthusiasm into her voice which was so damn hard when she was feeling so down."Since you said you couldn't go out for a girls' time, we didcided to bring the girls' time here. And guess what?" Vicky spoke with her hands behind her, but Eva could already savour a delicious aroma swirling around the room."What?""Ta-da!" She held up her hands from behind her, revealing her cafe's take out bag in her left hand and two blue tumblers with straws placed inside in the right. June had her own tumbler in hand. "I brought you your favourite delicacy just in case you were having that time of the month."Well, she was in her period all right, but that barely accounted for why she was feeling so needy and guilty.Needy for Adam's touch, and guilty that she was still constantly cheating on Brandon in her thoughts and erotic dreams.
"...do you prefer long sleeves, short sleeves or sleeveless? Will you like it to fit your shape or flare around you?" Her mother's designer whose name she couldn't even recall kept on bombarding her with questions."To be honest with you, I don't really care. I didn't want a specially designed dress anyways." Eva retaliated, exasperated by the whole thing."But your mother wants it so you better give me something, young lady!" The designer's tone was filled with irritation. "Unless you want me to use my own expertise.""There! You're a great designer, I'm sure you'll be able to come up with something. Goodbye." Picking her handbag from the table, Eva stood up, ready to leave."I bet you also want me to use my own imagination to bring up your measurements." The designer opined sarcastically. "Get your ass over here girl. I'll take your measurements quickly so that you can go deal with whatever has got your panties all twisted up."Eva walk
Adam entered his father's apartment using his spare key after greeting some people in the small neighbourhood. Reluctance clawed at his chest. He hadn't visited the man in weeks, and he wasn't sure he was going to like what he would see.Soft jazz music filled the room as he stepped inside, and his chest inexorably clenched, until he looked towards the kitchen and saw his father busy stirring something on the stove.Relief slammed through him, easing his anxiety as he made his way to the kitchen. "Hey, old man." He greeted when he got to the doorway.His father stopped shaking his body to the jazz song and looked at him. Joy lighted his eyes, the corners of his eyes crinkling as he smiled broadly. "My Son."His father was still a good looking man despite having aged a few years than his actual age, courtesy of several years of drinking and self-loathing."Dad." Adam said, voice heavy as he walked into his father's arms, wrapping his arms around the older man.His throat constricted
“Seriously, Brandon, where are you taking me? You've not turned into some serial killer have you?” Eva asked, wondering for the umpteenth time what he was up to.He'd picked her up from her house without telling her where he was taking her. Then halfway through their trip, he'd pulled over at a side of the road and blindfolded her, telling her he wanted to show her a surprise.“If you're wondering whether I'm planning to kill you with happiness, then damn you're right.” He sounded so excited.“Oh my, I can't wait!” Eva clapped her hands together, trying to appear as giddy as possible. Trying, because this coming surprise was making her more nervous than exhilarated.Finally, the car pulled to a stop. Turning of the engine, Brandon asked her not to take her blindfold off yet as he got out of the car. Five seconds later, her door clicked open.Brandon took her hand, helping her step out of the car, and they walked a few steps before stopping. Everything was quiet but for the sound of w
Adam scanned the exhibition room, taking in the several nature and wildlife photographs that lined the smooth blue plaster walls, and the several people who were busy checking them out and discussing among themselves."Congrats, Adam. You never cease to amaze me." A middle-aged man passing by told him with a smile.Adam smiled back at him. He'd lost count of the number of congratulations he'd received tonight.It seemed that every year, his fanbase grew, and so did the people who were willing to buy his photographs. It surprised him how marvelled people were, even at the photos he'd taken when he'd been least inspired. Eva had been right about how much people were going to love them.The thought of Eva made him let out a sigh of longing. There wasn't a single day that he didn't think of her or consider Victoria's suggestion to go seduce her into stopping her wedding so they could be together.But he knew doing exactly the opposite was the best option. He'd had enough instability to la
Adam set Eva down slowly, then braced his hands against the wall as if to maintain his balance, their bodies still connected. He rested his forehead against the wall beside her head, his ragged breaths fanning her face as Eva tried to even her own breathing.Finally, he pulled out of her, causing her to whimper at the loss. “That was exquisite.” Eva said huskily, expecting him to respond in kind.Instead, he looked at her with a perplexed expression, as if he couldn't quite understand her. “Hey, what's wrong?”Pulling his boxer and pants up, he began to buckle up his belt. “Why did this just happen?”“Because we both wanted it.” She replied and chuckled nervously, wondering why he sounded upset.“Because we both wanted it?” He huffed and stepped in front of her again, crowding her personal space as his searching eyes bored into hers. “At least the last time, you'd sort of called off the wedding. Now you're actually cheating on Brandon."“Adam, it's not it. I...” She placed his hand
“Adam Garcia?”“That's me.”“This is yours, Adam.”Adam quirked a brow at the young man in front of him holding a box of what looked to be pizza. “I didn't order pizza.”“I know. The person who asked me to deliver this is a friend.” “Okay, so who's this friend who sent this?” Adam asked with a grimace.The young man rubbed his neck awkwardly. “Can't tell. Says you'll know who it is once you open it.” There was something abashed about his smile.“Well thank you.” Adam returned the young man's smile, closing the door after he'd left. He crossed over to the living room, setting the pizza box on his glass centerpiece, curious to know who'd sent him this.Just hope it isn't a bomb.The thought made him grimace, and he tore the covering. The content of the box had him blinking and doing a double take. It wasn't a bomb. It was pizza, two slices of it. One shaped like a huge dick deliberately shoved into another slice shaped like a pussy.It took him several seconds to realize this was real.
