BaileyBryne pulls up at the parking lot of the building. Today is Monday, my first day at work and the excitement isn't as much as I expected it to be.Bryne squeezes my hands and I smile. Bryne has been everything since I lost our child. He has been over caring and I'm just so surprised at how perfect he's holding everything up in this situation. I hope my sour mood isn't going to affect my first day at work, I don't want to give out any first impression of being grumpy. "I know you'll do great" Bryne hands me a jar of cookie and I want to decline but it's my mom's cookie and who dares decline it plus he won't let this slide as I strongly refused to have breakfast. I take a bite and another and another till I'm done with four cookies. Bryne smiles, handing me a bottle of water. "Thanks" I gulp down the water and check my self in the mirror again for the 100th time today. You can't blame me for that, appearance matters as a new employee and a journalist at that. I know my life i
Immediately I get back to my office, I sit on my chair and remove my shoes. I don't think I can survive another minute in this shoe. I sigh in relief and massage my feet once I take the shoe out. It's been four hours of intensive practice and thank God for the lunch break else I would've died inside that room. I got to watch other journalist do other shows and I was given instructions about how everything is going to happen. Honestly, I can't wait for Friday and from the look of things, Baddie can't wait for Friday either. Baddie really made the whole practice interesting and I already feel so relaxed with him. Baddie says he likes that kind of atmosphere and so do I. Baddie reminds me of Derrick, when everything is settled, I'll take Derrick's lunch offer. Baddie walks into the room smiling. He sighs and slumps into his chair. "Hey we could have lunch together. There's this place at the corner of the street, it's pretty good"."Maybe next time, I really can't walk in this shoes, m
Bryne.I need her to understand that losing our baby wasn't her fault, I need us to go back to being us before the miscarriage. "Thanks Bryne, for every thing, for being my back bone, for being more than a boyfriend, for being so gentle with my heart" she maintains eye contact with me while stroking my face with her thumb."You don't need to thank me for taking care of you, you're my responsibility Lee" I kiss the inside of her palm. "let's go eat""Bryne I- okay, let's go eat" She steps away but I grab her hand and bring her closer. "What do you want Lee" I whisper over her ear and she claims my lips in a slow kiss. I want to go at her pace, I need to go at her pace even though all I want to do is to grab her and make her scream my name multiple times. She looked so sexy in the dress this morning and it took me all the strength I had, to stop myself from responding to what she was unconsciously doing to me, when she kissed me, I almost couldn't control myself again and then she sc
"Hello mom" I say impatiently. My mom always has a way to interrupt us. There's shuffling at the the other side of the line "Hey B, uh can you guys come over for dinner at dad's place, sorry for the late info I totally forgot"No way. "Mom, it's not possible" Bailey hits my side lightly "You can't turn your mom down" she whispers"You're with Bailey?" My mom asks. "Yeah""Great! Please put the phone on speaker" I roll my eyes and put the phone on speaker. I know Bailey can never say no to my mom and my mom knows that too, that's why she wants to talk to Lee. I already made a great dinner for the two of us, but Bailey won't think about that, of course it's my darling mother. I roll my eyes again and Bailey hits my arm."Hey Bailey, I know it's already late but can you guys come over for dinner at my place? I would've done this later but my husband already booked my flight back to Georgia and it's tomorrow" my mom's persuasive voice sounds and I'm sure it has already convinced Baile
"Thanks Cole" Cole pulls me into a hug and I hesitantly put my hand on his back, giving into the hug.I pull away from him and I make my way out of the hall and let the college breeze hit my skin. I'm so going to miss a lot of things when I leave college."Um.. Bailey" Cole scratches the back of his head. "I want to ask if you'll um.. maybe li..like a dinner, maybe coffee with me" he stuttersWell it's two days to my graduation so loosing up a bit for a date won't harm me. As much as I'm very jumbled emotionally, I want to spend my last days in college happy. "Sure" I smile."Great! I'll text you the time and place" he hugs me.Well we've got a hug lover here. I wrap my hands round him. I need this comfort, I'm afraid I might break down soon. I sniff and pull away.I shouldn't be doing this. Not after a breakup with Bryne. "Are you okay Bailey" his forehead creases and I think I see concern on his face
I open my eyes slowly and I'm welcomed to the morning by a throbbing pain I feel at the back of my head. I stare blankly at my surroundings and immediately all my senses awake.I try to rub my head and I realize that my wrist has been tied with a very tight rope. I look around the dimly lit room and I know instantly that I'm not in my room, and now reality hits me that I've been kidnapped. I wince as I try to remember what happened to me yesterday, the memories come hazy. I remember being at Cole's house, and then I..."Ow" I wince as the pain aggravates. I hear a weight shift in front of me and I squint my eyes to see but the poor lighting isn't doing any justice.Whoever is doing this is surely going to get caught. I haven't even hurt anyone recently to think anyone would try to do this to me. My heart starts beating faster, what if I'm kidnapped for sex trafficking or for any of those nasty things I see in movies."You're awake already" An all too familiar voice echos in front of me
The door of the room opens and Bryne walks in holding a tray, my nose picks the sweet smell of pan cakes and my belly rumbles in impatience and hunger. He drops the tray on the table and goes to the door. He inserts the key and turns it to lock before pulling it out and placing it inside the pocket of the dark blue pant he's wearing. For some reason I'm not scared a bit by his actions, I know Bryne like the back of my palm, he can't do anything to hurt me, or so I think.I shriek when I feel his tough hands lift me up and carry me to the bed. The anger I feel is starting to get dissolved by this singular act. This is the reason I don't trust myself around him, one moment I'm acting all furious at him and the next I'm practically melting under his touch. He drops me on the bed and I feel my face starting to squeeze into a frown at the loss of contact but I quickly adjust my facial expression and keep my face neutral."Would you mind if I feed you or you'll eat on your own" his low hu
BAILEYI hop around the room trying to find a knife or a pair of scissors to cut the rope around my ankle."Ouch" this is the third time I'm falling down. I wasn't just made to hop, I'm not in any way related to a frog.I place my hands on the table and help myself up. I hop into the bath room and I open the drawers, rummaging through them for any sharp object. "Phew" I exclaim as I find a small knife. What's a knife doing anyway in the bathroom. I shrug and start cutting the rope. After some minutes of hard work, which I mentally praise myself for, I cut through the rope. It's not like I'm lazy, I'm not just the kind to do any strenuous thing and trust me, cutting through a very thick cotton rope with a near blunt knife isn't an easy thing to do.I turn on the tap and remove my clothes. I might as well take a refreshing bath. I smell my armpit and scrunch my nose. Where was I? In a room with rotten fish. I step into the shower and drown into the warm water. I think I'd start calling
