The clouds in the sky rumbled slightly as Duncan kept his eyes fixed on them, sipping from the glass of whiskey in his hand. He let his burdens and thoughts drift away slightly as he kept his focus on the rumbling clouds. He couldn't explain why, but he had always found peace being lost in the sky right from when he was little.He gulped down the last bit of his whiskey and walked back into his room, closing the balcony door shut; he approached his drink table, picking up the bottle and filling the glass again.He suddenly felt arms wrap around his stomach, kisses being placed on his bare back. Not saying anything, he picked up the glass, slowly pulling the arms away and making his way to his bed.“You're bored of me already?” She slowly opened up his shirt she had on, making sure to reveal herself in her lingerie to get his attention.He took and sit and looked up from his drink, assesing her with his ever cold grey eyes. His emotionless deep voice sounding the words “take off my shi

“Here you go” I slowly handed my Dad his meds as my mom gently assisted him to seat up.“Urgh” he let out a soft groan“Take it is” said my mum softly. “Thank you” He gulped down the pills and handed me the water glass “What did the doctor say, Tori?”“Um…” I ran my palm up and down my lap nervously “He just said we needed to upgrade your medications and move to the hospital to avoid these sudden attacks” He nodded and proceeded to lying down again.“Rest up, I'll check on you later” I placed a kiss on his forehead before leaving for the kitchen.I had some cupcakes in the oven that were on pre-order for tomorrow morning so I had to stay up to decorate them.

It wasn't hard to admit how beautiful Lucia was, even though she never believed it. Her smile was so contagious with her bright brown eyes and freckle filled c

"Done"That was the last design I had to pipe on before finally finishing with the cake I was decorating. I licked my icing stained finger before popping the cake in the show glass“You done over there Lucy?”“Yes” My best friend and business partner Lucia, rushes out with the tray of peanut butter cupcakes."Here you go” she handed it over to me and I placed it in the show glass before locking it up“We should clean up before people start coming in” I took of my apron.Owning and running a bakery was not easy. For some reason, after frosting a cake…I always end up with frosting all over my body looking like a birthday cake surprise.
