ALINA'S POV

Huh?

"How you doing?" He repeated again, voice a low whisper. Hand coming up to press on the wall next to my face. Shudders going down my spine, my pulse erratic.

"Y-you're in the ladies room." I breathed slowly. Processing. "You're in the-

"I know. No one's here." He cut me off, pressing close. Closer. Hand on my waist. "There's no one here. Just us."

Us.

Me and him, him and I. Us.

I held his gaze. Really held his gaze, my shoulders slowly relaxing, all the emotions I'd been feel

    ALINA'S POV "Pick a movie.""You do it, my hands full." I licked the bone of the drumstick in my grasp for effect. Sucking through the bottom to the top. Soaking it in sauce again. His eyes followed by movements. Unimpressed, but saying nothing as he picked up the remote using both arms. His fingers were all equally stained from all the chicken, but who cares."What movie are you choosing?" I voiced out, still busy with my bone. Watching him struggle to switch through channels.Eventually he settled for one. A slight triumphant smile on his face. "This one. This one looks interesting." He dropped the remote. I stared at the screen, searching for the title. Seeing it. "The Missing Hour?" I frowned, "Why are we watching something like this? It's horror.""Oh that's right, you don't like horror movies." He said, looking at me. Smiling."Yeah but why you saying it like it's goodnews though?"He chuckled, wicked. Settling back down, eyes on the screen with more curiosity. Ready to watch

    ALINA'S POV I chewed on my shrimp happily, moving ahead to where he kept them all. Obviously he knew what he started. He couldn't complain now.I'd tasted the sweetness, I couldn't hold back now.That was until a slow melancholic sound drifted to my ears that is. Guitar base. Deep, raspy voice. Moody.My chewing slowed to a halt I heard it, processed the sounds, words. My head turning at the same time, following the sound itself, finding him first. Then the sleek device sitting on top of my kitchen island. "No," I started, disbelief.He didn't even turn around, “Don't.”"No." I repeated, vocal. "Absolutely not.”“Alina.”“Oh my God." I dropped my shrimp, moving. "Five years and you're still listening to this depressed man??"“Don't touch my phone.” I touched it. Grabbed it off the counter even, looking at the screen to be sure I wasn't mistaking. But yeah.It really was him.Malik Grey.I looked at him, "Malik Grey? Malik- I cannot believe this." I chuckled, small. Amused. Heavily

    ALINA'S POV Some cook he was.Chef my ass.I stayed in my little comfort zone, chips stuffed in my mouth as he busied behind me. Chuckles dying out.A couple of minutes.10 minutes. 20 minutes.30.35.40.And I abruptly stood up. Unable to sit still anymore while he stayed in my kitchen. I mean, I wasn't that ungrateful. He got me groceries after all. I could at least...be around the kitchen?Anyways, that's how I went over. Headed right back there again, started at the counter. Watching as he seasoned a bunch of foods, their looks well marinated. His gaze focused. Moves deliberate and calm."Did you take professional classes or something?" I asked, small.He turned to me, "Nope. Between the lounge and making the kind of money I do, you think I found some time for professional cooking, brown eyes?""Well... I'm just asking." I moved close, "It won't be impossible, look at you marinating all that stuff." He put a pot on fire, my eyebrows creasing. "Is that shrimp?"He let the view

    ALINA'S POV "I want you to be happy, Lina." She voiced trailed off, soft. Intentional. "I so want you to be out there, live your best life, do everything and anything... but this isn't going to end well. I can't lie to you, girl. Think about it. Please."She meant it.She really did.And right there, the heat raging inside of me, driving me loco...finally quenched. Rested. Stopped.Then came the mood damp. Cleo's words following me about for the rest of day and even after I went home.There were no more nights for me at Oxygen for the week. Meaning no more sex that is, and with my current mood? I didn't think I was up for it even.I just wanted to sit at home, stuff myself with food, curl up one side and die.Now I felt regrets towards Lana more than ever.Didn't think I'd ever feel this way towards her, not in this lifetime. But I did. Cause I was sleeping with her boyfriend. Her fiancé. Who was once my boyfriend and her ex boyfriend as well.First her, then me, then her again, th

    ALINA'S POV "I've had sex." "I've had sex, been doing it and it's with Roman Ward!" That was how I planned to start up today. How I planned to come clean, address the lethal bomb that I knew would blow up in my face. Cleo. Cleo finding out about everything. Everything that I've been doing, indulging in. The outright craziness, foolishness, I knew all the risks, all the repercussions and yet. I was still doing it. I was still going back. Each time after promising I wouldn't anymore, I'd stay away, but shamelessly falling each time his name flashed on my phone's screen. It was stupid really. So insane. But it's his fault. It's his fault for doing do it so good, fucking me so good, touching me. I'd thought there was still a way out, a way to come to my senses, draw a line, put a stop. I was just deluding myself. Maybe I would've stood a chance had few nights ago not happened. That night...that night he tore into me, revealed himself, a side I'd somehow expected

    LANA'S POV Alina wasn't all that, was she? She wasn't anything specifically, nothing impressive at all. Unlike what she tried to portray that day at Oxygen, when I found out she worked there and everything. She was busy acting bold, and tough, like she was doing good. Like some top notch person when I'm reality she was nothing. Nothing. Couldn't even afford her own housing. Had to seek refuge under someone's building, her boss's building, my building. Have you seen anything more laughable than that? Then she had the nerves to not be ashamed of it, walking boldly into the flat nextdoor like she some good shit. Wasn't this called charity?? She was nothing but a charity case, have always been and looks like will forever be. "Some things don't change despite surgery." I laughed, remembering it all again. "She better not get on my nerves, else I'll send her packing." Back into the streets. The slums. Where she belonged. How much was she getting paid even? What was her p
