All Shades of Passion Chapter 26: The Offer
Sheila's POVZuki stared at me like I'd just revealed I'd never seen the ocean."Let me get this straight," she said. "Greg is out there being Las Vegas's most notorious playboy, and you're sitting here as Las Vegas's last virgin?""It's not a competition," I muttered."Clearly," she said. "Because you'd be losing."I crossed my arms. "How do you even know about Greg?"She gave me a look. "You think I came to America blind? I did my homework, cuz. I researched both of you before I landed. Greg's reputation is on Google. Your GPA is impressive, by the way, but not quite as interesting as your brother's scandal sheet.""Of course you did research," I said.She stood up suddenly, pacing. "Okay. Okay, this changes things.""Changes what?""Everything," she said, turning to face me with an intensity that made me nervous. "We need to remedy this situation. Immediately.""Remedy?" I repeated. "Zuki, it's not a disease.""It might as well be," she said. "Not for moral reasons, before you get
All Shades of Passion Chapter 25: Different Kiss
Sheila's POVBobby wasn't alone.I came downstairs to find three guys in my living room. Bobby stood by the door in dark jeans and a button-down that actually fit him well. Beside him were two others I vaguely recognized from campus."Sheila, hey," Bobby said, his eyes doing that thing again where they traveled from my face down and back up, lingering on the exposed skin between my crop top and skirt. "You look amazing.""Thanks," I managed, hyperaware of Zuki standing near the kitchen doorway, arms crossed, still slightly damp from our shower. Our shower. God.Bobby gestured to his friends. "Hope it's cool I brought Mark and Jeremy. They were heading to the same area anyway."Mark was tall with dark skin and an easy smile. Jeremy was shorter, stocky, with bleached tips in his hair that screamed 'peaked in high school.'"The more the merrier," Zuki said, but her voice had an edge I recognized. She hadn't known about this either.In the car, Mark drove while Jeremy rode shotgun. Bobby,

Sheila's POVSaturday arrived with the weight of everything unsaid.I woke up to sunlight streaming through my curtains and the immediate memory of Tuesday night.My phone buzzed. Bobby:Still on for tonight? I'm excited.My stomach flipped. I typed back a simple "Yes" and set the phone down.Zuki sauntered into my room around noon, not bothering to knock. She was wearing tiny shorts and a loose tank top, her pink hair pulled into a messy bun."Morning, sunshine," she said, entirely too cheerful. "Ready to make Bobby's brain explode tonight?""It's barely afternoon," I mumbled, pulling my blanket higher."And we have work to do," she said, crossing to my closet. "Up. Now."I dragged myself out of bed, watching as she started rifling through the clothes we'd already sorted weeks ago. She pulled out a hanger and held it up triumphantly.A tiny black crop top that I'd been avoiding since we bought it."This," she announced.I stared. "That's a bra.""It's a statement," she corrected, th
All Shades of Passion Chapter 23: Tuesday Tension
Sheila POV.I let the butterflies settle in my chest and tried to breathe around them."Try running it now," I said, voice coming out quieter than intended.He reached for the laptop without moving away, his arm brushing across my body. The code ran perfectly."You're a genius," he said, still close enough that I felt the words as much as heard them."You would've figured it out," I said."Maybe," he said. "But not as fast. And definitely not while looking as good as you do right now."My breath caught. He seemed to realize what he'd said, pulling back slightly, ears pink."I mean—""Bobby," I said, surprising myself with how steady my voice sounded. "It's okay."He looked at me, something shifting in his expression. "Yeah?""Yeah," I said.Zuki cleared her throat lightly. "Should I get more soda from downstairs?""No," Bobby said quickly, then seemed embarrassed by how fast he answered. "I mean, I'll get it. You guys stay."He practically fled the room.The second he was gone, Zuki m
All Shades of Passion Chapter 22: Tuesday's Tension
Sheila's POVTuesday arrived like a deadline I wasn't ready for.All day at work, my brain kept jumping ahead to Bobby's place. I stared at spreadsheets that might as well have been hieroglyphics, my mind replaying Zuki's instructions from breakfast: "Touch his arm when you laugh. Sit closer than usual. Let your knee bump his."Currently, Bobby and I were both running Master's programs while working remotely. As Team Lead for Enterprise Systems Integration at Callaghan Family Holdings' Las Vegas branch, I worked a hybrid schedule - three days in office, two remote.Bobby worked purely remote as a Junior Business Intelligence Developer. He never had to come into the office, which made keeping my secret easier.He had no idea I was the reason he got hired.I'd seen his application come through the system six months ago. His portfolio was solid - clean Python scripts, impressive dashboard work, strong SQL. But I knew how many qualified candidates got overlooked. So, the moment I saw his
All Shades of Passion Chapter 21: Two Scripts, One Heart
Sheila's POVSunday morning came too bright through my bedroom windows. The automatic curtains had opened at 8 AM like always, and I'd forgotten to override them.My legs hurt. My feet hurt. My head hurt a little from the shots. But mostly, my brain hurt from trying to process everything.I shuffled downstairs in my most comfortable old t-shirt and shorts, hair in a messy bun. The kitchen was ridiculous as always - marble everything, appliances that cost more than most people's cars. I just wanted coffee and silence.Zuki was already there, sitting at the breakfast bar in her hoodie and bare legs, scrolling her phone. She looked annoyingly awake."Morning, club girl," she said without looking up."I'm never going clubbing again," I muttered, pouring coffee from the fancy machine that probably had a PhD."You loved it," she said.I didn't answer. I wasn't ready to admit how many times I'd replayed last night before falling asleep. The club. The dancing. The lap dance. Her eyes on me. O
