Chapter 20: Miss Liliana Is Waiting

last update Petsa ng paglalathala: 2025-11-18 05:21:41
~Sienna~

My heart thuds, my tongue tastes bitter and I feel empty in my own skin.

It’s like my soul has left my body, leaving behind nothing but a hollow shell.

I stare at the white ceiling above me like it holds some secret cure for this strange, lingering ache in my chest.

The soft bed covers wrap around me, warming my skin, but my inside feels cold.

I feel so fucking hallow, like a puppet without a will.

Two hours, In two fucking hours, we’ll be on the plane, returning to Chicago.

I’m liking it so far even if I’m disliking the thought of the “ miscommunication” trope showing up

  • A Dirty Secret With My Best Friend’s Dad    Elias and Alice’s Story XIV

    ~Elias~I’m crazily in love with Alice. I mean the realization just keep getting wilder and wilder in my mind, my head, my brain. I spent the rest of the week thinking about her. I just couldn’t wait for Monday to come because now I’m not trying to work out anything. I am no longer hesitant. I love her. I am completely, utterly wrapped up in her, and I am done standing on the edge of the line, waiting for permission to step across.I arrive to work way more early at fifteen minutes past seven AM. The main floor is entirely dark, the rows of computers blank and silent under the fluorescent shadows. I don't even bother turning on the lights in my own room. I pull off my overcoat, tossing it onto the leather sofa, and stand in the center of the office, waiting, and waiting for her to arrive. I am restless. My pulse is ticking wildly in my neck, an aggressive surge of anticipation making it impossible to sit down. I walk to the door, cracking it open just a little bit, and I stand there

  • A Dirty Secret With My Best Friend’s Dad    Elias and Alice’s Story XIII

    ~Elias~I sip the hot coffee, staring out of the window in the early morning. The house is filled with sweet scent of maple syrup and freshly brewed coffee fills the morning air, a comforting backdrop to the quiet chatter in the kitchen. It’s Sunday. "She’s a runner."The deep, quiet voice cuts through my thoughts. I turn my head to see Ethan, Alice’s older brother, walking into the room. He’s dressed in a faded gray sweatshirt, his posture relaxed but his eyes completely focused as they lock onto me. There is an unmistakable shift in the air, the easy, chaotic energy of yesterday’s family barbecue has disappeared, replaced by something deliberate."Every Sunday morning, rain or shine, she used to go for three miles," Ethan continues, stepping up to the counter and pouring himself a cup of coffee. He doesn't look at me while he pours, but the tension in his broad shoulders is clear. "Lately, she hasn't been running as much. She’s been too tired. Too consumed by work."I lean my hips

  • A Dirty Secret With My Best Friend’s Dad    Elias and Alice’s Story XII

    ~Elias~I have been staring at my phone in the last one hour. I’m not even enjoying the quietness that comes with the weekend. I move around the house, gripping onto my phone in my palm. It’s been five days since our lunch at the eatery—five days of a quiet, thrilling shift in the office where every shared glance felt like a match striking in the dark.But the weekend is here, and the empty space of my house is already starting to feel like it’s closing in on me.I stop pacing, take a deep breath, and press her name on the screen. The phone rings twice before her voice fills my ear, smooth and clear."Elias? Good morning.""Good morning, Alice," I say, my voice dropping into a deeper, rougher tone than I intend. I lean my hip against the edge of the kitchen counter, trying to sound casual. "I was wondering if you were free today. I wanted to take you out on a proper date."A brief, hesitant pause stretches over the line, and my chest tightens with a sharp prickle of anxiety."Oh. Elia

  • A Dirty Secret With My Best Friend’s Dad    Elias and Alice’s Story XI

    ~Elias~Sienna’s words are still echoing in the quiet corridors of my mind, a necessary jolt that finally cleared the remaining fog from my head. I should go get my girl before some other guy steals her form me. Hearing it from Sienna didn't hurt. It didn't spark that old, familiar ache of longing. Instead, it felt like a door slamming shut on a past I had been clinging to out of habit, while the present—vibrant, beautiful, and terrifyingly fragile, is waiting for me just down the hall.I take a deep breath, adjusting the cuffs of my navy-blue blazer. My heart is hammering an entire storm of nerves exploding in my gut as I stop right outside the glass door. Through the clear pane, I see her. She’s staring intensely at her laptop screen, her eyebrows knitted together in absolute focus. She’s wearing a soft olive-green blouse today, her dark hair pinned up perfectly, leaving the elegant slope of her neck exposed. She looks incredible, but the rigid set of her shoulders tells me the t

  • A Dirty Secret With My Best Friend’s Dad    Elias and Alice’s Story X

    ~Elias~Every possessive, protective instinct I’ve been trying to suppress since the night she tried to resign explodes in my mind. The doubt in her voice, the pain in her eyes, it tears down every remaining wall of my restraint.I reach out, my massive hands sliding into her hair, my fingers gripping the soft strands as I pull her forward. I lean down and catch her mouth with mine. A sharp gasp leaves her throat against my lips, her hands flying up to grip the fabric of my white shirt, pulling herself tightly against my chest. I suck her lower lip, so fucking soft. I can do this forever. My teeth graze her lip, nibbling on the flesh, twisting my tongue around hers. She responds with the same hunger. It isn't a gentle kiss, it’s a desperate, starved release of every ounce of tension we’ve been building for days. I taste the sweetness of her mouth, the heat of her skin, the raw, unyielding pleasure of having her in between my arms. There is absolutely no past. There is only Alice,

  • A Dirty Secret With My Best Friend’s Dad    Elias and Alice’s Story IX

    ~Elias~Heavy patter of rain is splashing against the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, it’s the only sound filling my office. Outside, the Chicago streets are blurred by a thick sheet of a late-Friday downpour, the city lights bleeding into long, glowing streaks of amber and red.Fourteen minutes past ten. I lean over the wide drafting table, a red pencil held tightly between my fingers, but my eyes aren't on the structural grid beneath me. They are tracking the movement of Alice’s shadow on the wall. We’ve been up here for hours, ordering a late dinner that now sits forgotten in cardboard containers on the low coffee table. The rest of the building is entirely dark, our floor illuminated only by the warm, amber glow of the desk lamps.Alice leans over the opposite side of the table, comparing the zoning permissions. She has removed her blazer, leaving her in a soft, silk white blouse that catches the dim light perfectly. A few dark strands of hair have completely escaped her pins, fr

    ~Sienna~Scalding hot fire seeps through my bloodstream. My body shakes with terror. My ear stings, a sharp pinch dipping in.I feel so far away. I feel like I’m a hundred miles away from here.

Noise dances around, and kids run after each other.Different aromas of snacks and pastries drench the whole area, mix
