She got up from the edge of the bed were she was seated and stood in front of me."What are you talking about?"

Groaning at the pounding headache I was experiencing, I took a look at myself in the mirror, with my hair that was now in its natural curls littering my face and big bags under my red swollen eyes I was a mess. The events of last night were still replaying on my mind and that made my eyes glossy with tears."It's time to move on Charlotte, just let him go." I told myself and took a few deep breaths.Taking a shower, I brushed my teeth, applied my makeup and dried my hair letting it rest in its natural curly state before going to my closet to pick an outfit that looked presentable.It was only Wednesday so I decided to wear cream pants and a white button down, I finished the outfit with black heels and a purse.

His actions made my lady bits clench and my panties dampen.I was so caught up with his that was slightly chocking me that I missed him untucking my shirt from my pants until he bit hard on my lower lip as though asking for entrance. I gladly opened my mouth and let his tongue devour me. The kiss became heated and intimate quicker than I thought, I was struggling to keep up with Anthony’s pace but tried my best to savor his the divine taste mouth.Breathless, I found the energy to push him away, but he wasn’t having it, I tugged at his thick loc

Build a dream and the dream will build you. ~Robert H. SchullerCharlotte"Chug! chug! chug! chug!" The girls cheered as I chugged down vodka as though it was water ignoring the burning on my throat."Fuck" I put the bottle on the counter unable to take any more."Wow!" The girls cheered."It's my turn." Taylor grabbed the bottle and put it to her lips while we cheered her on."Wooow!" She screamed handing the bottle to Riley who did the same.We had been drinking for a while now and judging from how much we had taken and none of us had started going crazy yet, I could tell we were highly tolerant to alcohol which was a great thing by the way."Men are stupid." Riley complained."Tell me about it." We all groaned.So turns out, all of us were having male drama."I hate the way they think we can always bend to their will and suck them off when the demand."

Accordingly, a 'genius' is often merely a talented person who has done all of his or her homework. ~Thomas EdisonAnthony "Where the fuck is she!" I yelled at my men who were staring at me, fear evident in their eyes. "I swear if you don't bring her down here I'll blow all your brains out!"“Don calm down." Julio tried to calm me but that only fueled my anger.It had been a long week and the last thing I needed was to find Charlotte had gone missing when I got home. I had been dealing with a lot of unnecessary issues that would have not even occurred had everyone followed my instructions but as always, someone just had to make a mistake which only I could rectify and now I was paying for being away for so long."Shut the fuck up!" I growled at him. "How the hell can a girl sneak past all your grown asses, all of you, it’s just one girl for fucks sake!"“We are sorry Don.” One of the guards mumbled."Put Marcus o

I choked out while Anthony squeezed my throat making it difficult for me to take in oxygen."You snuck out." He repeated slowly."Yes, I'm sorry.""You will be sorry when I'm finished with you." He seethed tightening his grip on my throat."You are hurting me." My eyes becoming teary with each passing second. "Elio." I sobbed when he didn't let go.As if taken aback, he let go and took a step away from me.I brought my now red and swollen wrist up to my chest sobbing, it was throbbing badly and happened to be one of the four reasons I was now crying my eyes out, firstly, I felt like a dirty slut, secondly, I was afraid of what Anthony would do to me, I had never seen him so angry before and that petrified me.
