“Give that back to the kind gentleman, Gray.”
Gray scrunched his nose up in annoyance, “No!”
“Gray,” I say again, forcing a smile so that none of the other people could tell I was close to slapping the back of his head for being a brat. “Return the paper bag to the man.”
“Helen said only one per person!”
“We bought lots, didn’t we?” I counter, “Just give it back.”
Gray mutters something under his breath once more but, he returned the paper bag to the homeless man who for sure was hiding five more bags inside of his coat. He walked by more than a few times already, I just didn’t make a comment. Hey, if we were in t
It was around midnight when my sister started to fucking scream.When we had been living on the same roof, I was used to her bitching every hour of the day. She finds gum in her shoe, she bitches. She loses one of her earrings, she bitches. She figures out I ate the last fucking piece of donut. She fucking bitches. Everything she does is bitch. It came to the point where I don’t even want to come home anymore because I was missing sleep because of all the time she keeps bitching about everyone at the house.Still, for some inexplicable reason, I feel like her bitching now didn’t sound like her typical bitching.Rubbing my eyes, I yawn, pulling myself up from the couch. The television was still on when I had been watching a movie a few hours ago. Violet would probably have bitched about this too but
A miniature demon was inches away from my face.“Markus,” Gray whispered softly. “I have to ask you something.”It was like he was trying not to wake me up more than he already did. Groaning, I rub the back of my head. When he had woken me up by blowing warm air in my ear, I woke up flinching. My head hit my headboard, and I was afraid I might have broken it, and I wasn’t really in the mood to spend any more than I already did the past few days.“What is it?” I asked, lifting him up and placing him on my lap. The past few months have been amazing, he’d taken in a lot more weight and even though he hated it, he also started taking more showers. All we needed was changing the shampoo to the green ones that he liked. “What’s wrong, bud?”
My mother named me after a color I didn’t even like.I would have preferred it if she had named me Green. Green is a nice name. It’s a nice color. I love the color green. And so does my brother, Gray. He only ever showers when the shampoo is green. Green is also what I color the trees. Trees are good. Without trees, there would be no books. I couldn’t imagine what life would be without books.Or maybe I can, I just don’t want to imagine life without it.I like books. Right now, I’m reading a book on different psychological assessments. A few months ago, we moved to a place that’s far away from my mother. Sometimes I don’t like change. Change is weird, it makes me scared. This time, I liked the change. This time, I can read all the books I want and my mother won&r
I almost trip on a rock on my way to my other work of the day."Screw this," I mumble to myself.Grabbing the shabby pair
And then she turns her phone over to me.There on the screen was a very pretty rosewood colored kitten heels. The same kitten heels that I had already been looking at for quite some time now. I was supposed to buy it next month, and I was saving up for it.
Black short wavy hair gently hangs over his strong chiseled face. His onyx eyes were hidden behind amazingly long lashes. He even had a nice 5 o'clock shadow on his face. His olive skin almost made him shine under the strobing lights of the bar.Now that I’m looking at him closely, despite being poor, he’s strangely attractive. "Bring me tap water instead."
Before I do something stupid and get rid of the distance between us because his lips were looking mighty soft right now, I push him on the chest.Distance, we need a safe distance."I could give you legal advice when it comes to taxes," Luckily, laws on taxes was a lesson that I had on my
My eyelids fluttered open."Oh no," I pushed myself up, feeling air touch my skin. Groaning, I lean on my hand against the bed. "Oh no, no, no!"I was as naked as the day I was born.
