LORRAINE:

My breath caught up in my throat, his hands moved around my body easily, like he knew every inch of my body, both our eyes shut our mouths moving in sweet harmony. He carried me, placing me on the table, my gown riding up revealing my bare legs. He pauses and takes a deep breath in, resting his head on mine, his eyes still shut and suddenly the wave of regret fell on me like Ice.

“Why do things have to be so difficult with you?” he finally says, his eyes glued to mine.

“Isn't that what makes us, us?” I chuckle sadly, “I'm sorry Dex..” I lift his chin up, smiling a little, “if it makes you feel better, I finally accept that I am terrible at Spanish” I smirk.

He laughs heartily, “I know” he stands up straight and folds his arms.

I stand up from the table, adjusting my gown. I pack my files and my bag up, “I'll see you around then” I smile softly, walking past him but he holds my hand stopping me in my tracks.

    DEXTER: “You look like a mess” the bright light blinded me and I groan. I turn and fall on the floor, my back stinging with pain, I look up and see Matteo all dressed up with a hint of disgust on his face. “Why are you here?” I fall back into my bed. “Your dad said to pick you up, you haven't been answering your phone all week,” he looks around, “your house is in an absolute mess” “Jes…can't I have peace to myself anymore? I'm on a break my father knows this” I groan and cover myself with my comforter, “tell him that when you see him” “Yea I'm not about to get in trouble with my Uncle because of you, get your ass up Dex. You have ten minutes or I'm dragging your ass to the office myself” “Wait…office?” “I don't know Dexter, he said something about a juice line invest….” “Fuck!” I grab my phone, scrolling past all the missed calls and messages, most from Lorriane, I go to my calendar, “shit shit shit!” I rush up. “Ten minutes” he scoffs and leaves my room.************I hav

    MATTEO: I stare at my screen, Lorraine’s name bodily written, my heart beating really fast. I groan and switch off my phone, I wasn't going to fall back into her arms…I couldn't. I turn and see my unfinished painting, I stare at it, my mind flickers to the day I first met her. *FLASHBACK*“Give that back to me Dex..” I hear a female voice outside my door, I stand up and peek through the key hole, I see a shadow pass. I open my door slightly and like a rush of wind, Dexter and the girl run past me down the stairs, slowly I follow them behind captivated by her. “You act like a boy..” Dexter holds up the toy car, “..this is a boy's toy” “At least I act like a boy, you on the other hand would never know what that feels like…chicken!” he gasps and she lunges at him, both of them falling to the ground.I rush to their side but my uncle beats me to it, “would you two please act your age? You're no longer kids…” “Technically they are..” my aunt says smiling, “let them settle their dif

    (SPECIAL POV)AVA: He looked peaceful, too peaceful when he sleeps. His breathing was calmer, eyes were shut tight, his hands wrapped tightly round my waist…a smile creeps onto my face. I lay on his chest, sucking in the moment, tracing invisible circles on his torso, his tatoo…I never want this moment to end. “I can literally feel you smiling Ava..” I hear his deep sleepy voice.I giggle, “what? I'm not allowed to smile?” I sit up and look at him, “good morning..”He removes my hair from my face, “morning” he smirks, “how long have you been up?” “Just a while, I didn't want to wake you” He sits up and kisses me, deep, slow, “you should have. Come on, I'll cook” he stands up and puts on his clothes. “I'm right behind you” I smile and blow a kiss, he catches it, laughs and leaves and I fall on my bed…giggling and laughing to myself, my phone rings and I see Lorriane's name on the screen, my smile disappears.I clear my throat, “heyy”She sniffles, “Ava…”I sit up hurriedly, “are

    LORRAINE: I drive with my eyes full of tears,my hands trembling against the wheels, trying to catch my breath and beat the traffic…it wasn't working. “.....lie to me if you have to..” Dexter's voice echoed in my head again, I could see the pain on his face, the face of hurt and betrayal, I could still hear the door being slammed shut in my head, I feel horrible.I park in Ava's driveway and run to her door, it might be eleven in the night but she was my best friend…she'll understand. I hear ruffling around before the door opens hurriedly. “Lorraine…what, what happened?” she drags me in and hugs me, she was breathing a little fast like she was just running around. “I…I messed up” I cry, “I messed up Ava” I clung to her like she's my life, tears flowing from my eyes freely, my knees weak with guilt and my heart aching, “I messed up” “It's okay, it's..it's okay” she leads me to the chair and I coil in her lap, “what happened?” her voice, low.I sniffle, the memory of me jumping up f

    DEXTER: “Fifty percent profit will be made on every sale if we start this new venture, and…” I change the page on the projector, “plus the merger, bringing in new clients and all by August sales would have skyrocketed” I turn to my father, “questions?”He clears his throat, “that doesn't answer the question of how this new venture of selling fruit drinks would improve the company's profit. We are known for liquor, don't you think it'll give… I don't know some…identity crisis in the company?” “Well, as a matter of fact, this fruit line has been working in the Withmore's company and so far so good , they've been able to gather up profit that boosts up their sales by thirty percent six months after” “So Lorriane's feeding you this idea?”I groan, “believe it or not, I can think of myself and make decisions. She doesn't have to be behind anything.. we're going to be one company it's good we start introducing this line if not most of the profit made wouldn't really reflect on our book
