I bent rigid to the spot with my butt still facing the attendees. I shut my eyes tight and prayed for the divine intervention of God. Let a big chunk of the roof fall on them, especially Mitch.
I widened my eyes and felt a heavy feeling in the depths of my stomach.
Hello, brain! This is the time you tell me what to do.
I blinked once, then twice before deciding to check if I had granny panties on. To my disappointment, It was a red g-string. No wonder I heard wolf whistling from the back.
"What's that?" The fat man asked and strolled behind me to feed his eyes with what the others were eating.
Finally, I stood upright and waves of embarrassment hit me in the face as their eyes bored holes into my skin. There was this lump in my throat that I was finding hard to swallow. If there was something I hated so much, it was embarrassment.
Suck it in, bitch!
One, dramatic flash back.Tcee and I were seated in her car on our way to the salon–she had promised to drive and spoil me to stupor tonight. Excitement was rushing through my veins and I couldn't wait to drink all my heartaches away. Plus, I had to see my therapist tomorrow evening–I sighed and rested my elbow on the door.Eddie made his way into my head and I shoved him out immediately, I needed nothing to spoil my mood tonight. He was probably too scared to show his sorry ass in my house after getting his butt kicked by my boss."You okay?" She asked with her eyes on the road and the gentle breeze blowing frosty strands of her hair around."Yeah, I just remembered I have this hydrotherapy thing tomorrow." I rested my chin in my palm and pierced my eyes out of the window, counting the trees we passed."I heard those stuffs are relaxing." She made a r
There was this great feeling of euphoria in me that I couldn't help, but laugh at nothing in particular with my hands in the air."I believe I can fly!" I yelled, spreading my arms like they were wings. "I believe I can touch the sky!"Wings sprouted from my back and I widened my eyes in amazement. There were pink clouds around me and even on the floor–mirroring cotton candies, I bet they tasted nice."Woah!" I laughed, staring strangely at my fingers because there were fire works shooting out of them.In no time, I had gotten the attention of the crowd and they cheered for me, beckoning me to use my new wings."One, two...three!" I jumped off the table and landed
I quietly made my way into the sitting room and almost had a mini heart attack when I saw a man sitting on a black sofa with an apple tablet in his hands. This house was definitely familiar because a bitch owned it, a bitch I knew!I clenched my jaw, wishing I could break those glasses sitting comfortably on the bridge of his nose. My jaw unclenched when I remembered he had saved me from selling my virginity in the club, but what if he touched me inappropriately?I clenched my jaw again then released it when I remembered he made me lay comfortably on his bed. Perhaps he didn't touch me.He was still oblivious of my presence so I slowly took a step back, but bumped into a flower vase and sent it crashing noisily on the floor. Mitch snapped his head up and gazed emptily at me without blinking or moving a
The rays of sunshine pierced into my room in an attempt to roast me. It wasn't that hot, it was kind of flattery on my skin. My windows were closed last night by me and my blindfolds were drawn so I didn't get why I was feeling the warmth of sunlight on my face.A smile crawled up my cheeks and I turned to the other side of the room with my eyes still closed. After begging my brain to let me sleep for just five minutes more, I peeled my eyes open.There was a set of blue eyes boring into my soul with the face it lived on very close to mine. I was literally breathing in the carbon dioxide this creature breathed out."Ah!" I screamed and jerked, causing me to fall on the floor."Bitch!" Tcee exclaimed, her irritating laugh filling the
"You and me we made a vow, for better or for worse." I hummed a part from Sam Smith's song, titled 'I'm not the only one' as I thumbed through the documents in my hands.The Lord knew my body was there, but my mind was far away–occupied with thoughts of my cocky boss. The fact he wasn't bullying me today was surprising. Why did I dislike his sudden coldness?I breathed heavily and dropped the documents on my desk. Wasn't it crazy that I actually wanted him to be his egoistical self? I reclined on my seat and fidgeted with a pencil in my hand."What happened to you Mitch?" I questioned nobody in particular, staring at my teal colored walls.I sat up again with my interlocked fingers under my jaw. Glancing at the receiver, there was no call
Mitch's POVCarrying her bridal style, I kicked my door open and made my way to the queen sized bed that was in the middle of the guest room. Damn! How can a person this small be so heavy?Gently, I placed her under the smart duvet and pulled out my phone. Tapping on the app, I controlled the temperature of the duvet so it could be warm and comforting. She looked fragile, her cherry red lips complimenting her skin. Her hair was scattered on her face and I must admit, red was very good on this woman.Reaching a hand to her, I brushed off the hair that was all over her face and lingered my gaze on her facade. She looked so pretty in her sleep. Suddenly, she groaned and scratched her hair.Instantly, the little pity I felt for her was replaced with anger. How could she speak to me in such a manner? Mitch wasn't the guy that ladies insulted, they worshipped me. Unfortunately, I wasn't the type
She mirrored a sad sack and appeared like she had been playing in the waste bin. My eyes were narrowed to crinkled slits as I balled my fists."What bastard?" My lips set in a grim line as I tried to control myself. If it was what I was thinking about then Mr Banks was going to pay!"Mr Banks!" Her voice shook and she swiped off the tears from her face. "First, he started by flirting with me and I made it clear I was strictly there for business.""What?!" I banged my fist on my desk and clinched my jaw. How dare he flirt with my personal assistant? She was mine alone to flirt with! "Why didn't you tell me?""Because you sent me to his house, Mitch." She snapped.The tears had alrea
Diana's POVAcrimony.That was what I felt.I stood in front of my kitchen counter, putting some sliced pineapple into my blender. I vaguely wondered what had happened between my boss and Mr Banks. There was no call or text message from Mitch–hopefully, he wasn't killed and thrown into the forest to be eaten by blood tasty wolves.No, I shook my head. There was no need for negative thoughts. After blending the pineapple, I pulled out a blue bowl, sieve and downed the blended pineapple in them.Resting my elbows on the counter, I stared at my kitchen walls that were painted in nude color with brown flooring tiles. Tcee was yet to be here and I needed to voice out my thoughts to someone.Abruptly, a hand gripped my shoulder and it felt soft–I held my breath. Hopefully, it was Tcee and not some maniac called Eddie. Slowly, I turned and beheld the
