SEAN: Spending the whole day with Mya had been nice, but worrying over Sekani and her whereabouts didn't allow me enjoy it to the fullest. I tried to be the most playful around Mya but I could tell she didn't believe I was. She constantly asks if I was sad until I forced myself to be overly happy. Things you did for the women you loved. I was going to do anything to make Sure Mya was happy. I kept checking Sekani's twitter page to see if she was going to make any post. I was already used to anticipating her posts as I had spent the last five days stalking her page and following whatever was going on in her life. And now that she was out, I found myself doing the same thing. It wasn't until eight o'clock she called me, sounding a little bit drunk. Her words slurred and I got more worried. She was probably calling me because she got lost. I was sure Sekani would never call me now matter what the hell was happening and now that she did, I was kind of happy that she actual
SEAN:Mya was fast asleep on the couch when I got to the living room. I picked her up and took her back to her room, placing her on the bed and tucking her in before kissing her forehead goodnight. I stood there at the head of her bed for a while, watching her sleep peacefully. Mya was the reason any of this made sense because I knew I'd have taken my L and found my way. I couldn't deal with the guilt and all of these anymore but how could I just leave when I had a daughter who loved me so much? Knowing that sleep was going to be hard for me to find, I made my way to my study and decided to complete a few tasks. Thankfully, by the time I was going to be done, maybe Sekani would be fast asleep. I didn't want to get into a conversation with her and even if it was going to take just one night of not speaking to each other again, I could survive it. I was ten minutes into finishing up a few documents when I heard the sound of the door clicking open. I looked up to see Sekan
SEKANI: The next morning, I woke up in a daze. I was in torment and that torment was the memories from last night. How did it happen? What had driven me to his study, one I had never stepped foot into since I could last remember? Sean was snoring softly beside me and I wore just panties and nothing on top. I tried not to move for the sake of not waking him up and having to spend the next few moments awkwardly. How could I get his fucking arm off me? It was almost the crack of dawn and the skies were starting to turn into a lighter shade of Ultramarine. Birds were starting to sing and music played softly in the background from Sean's phone. Yes, while we were having several rounds of sex and waking at intervals to his hard crotch between my buttocks, he had stopped to play music to spice up the moment. And it had done the work. After he did that, it was all me instigating it all, ignoring the warnings my brain sent to me. At that moment, nothing made sense. Only having Sean th
SEAN: I paced from one side of my office to the other, impatiently waiting for a response from the delivery guy I had specially paid to send the package to Sekani. An hour had passed and I was yet to hear from him. At the sound of a knock on the door, I hurried towards it, disappointed to see Jake standing in front of me when I opened the door. "Why do you look at me like I am the last person you want to see today?" "Because you are," I flopped into one of the seats. "What are you doing here?" "I've not seen my best friend in a week. His calls haven't been picked and then I am told that he's here today so I head over to his office to see him, only to be told that I am the last person who wants to see," He clutched his heart in pain. "That hurts really bad, I have to tell you." "How are you doing?" "Good," He took a seat beside me. "With you not around, things have quite been okay, I guess. Everyone respects me when you're not around." "You're being dramatic as
SekaniA load of vomit splattered right in front of me, missing my ballet flats by a few millimeters.To all that is pure, and holy, why does this always happen to me?The guy who had been retching at my feet, doubled over, and slowly raised his unfocused eyes at me. His blonde hair was matted with sweat and some other unidentifiable fluid, and there was a big grin stretching his thin lips. He must have had spinach for dinner because pieces of regurgitated spinach clung to his teeth and tongue piercing.“Maria? Is that you?” Who the hell is Maria? “You’ve always looked like one of those hymns back in church. Hail Mary, mother of—”He belched loudly, wretched, and shot out a projectile of vomit from his mouth again. This time, a firm hand clasped around my shoulders and pulled me several steps away. Not even a second later, the spray of stale vomit covered the spot I was standing in.“Yeah, that's definitely molly.” Luca's voice said into my ear. “And you should sharpen your reflexes a
SekinaMy head felt like it was stuffed full of wool.“Wake the fuck up.” A distant voice snapped.I groaned, grappling with my nerves for the ability to open my eyelids. But they were glued shut. And a splitting headache was blooming behind them. The harsh sound of curtains opening filled the room, and a hot ray of sunshine landed on my bare breasts.Wait. My what—My eyelids flew open. A chiseled body loomed over mine. Defined chest, ladders of abs, and strong biceps. My gaze slowly traveled further up, to meet the dark glower on Sean Remington's face. It all came back to me like a broken reel. We had gotten drunk together. Had sex.I had lost my virginity to him, not in the way of my fantasies because now his eyes glowed like he was utterly disgusted by me.“Get the fuck up, Sekina.” He growled, then grabbed his hair in his fists. “Fuck! How did this fucking happen?! Her of all people?”Panic had finally caught up to me, and I sat up, dragging the sheets over my naked body. I didn'
SekinaThe days that followed were hollow and guilt-ridden.I could not focus on anything other than my frantic heartbeat, and the sweat pooling in my palms each time someone stared at me too long, as if they knew what I had done.Simone, three-time winner of Cole University's Most Beautiful, with her luscious, long brown hair and sky blue eyes —her pale skin was where our similarities ended— and Sean, the most gorgeous guy in the school, were the star couple. Everyone drooled over what they had, and if news made it out that I had ruined it…I would be crucified. That is, if Simone didn't do it first.“Salvador?” The professor's crisp voice cut into my thoughts. I jolted back to the present, where I stood on the podium in front of the entire hall of students. “Are we supposed to wait all day for you to begin?”Low bursts of laughter rippled through the hall.I had prepared for this presentation for weeks, yet now I stood, completely blank and unfocused. I swallowed hard, and glanced t
Sekina “Are you sure you don't need a hand, Miss Sekina?” Lumere asked in concern.He stepped out behind me, from the Limo that had conveyed us to the funeral site. A private cemetery where only the most elite people in the city could visit.“No,” I mumbled, hiding my trembling hands in the black shawl wrapped around me. It matched the drab black dress I had on for the funeral, even if my mind was no longer here. I had bigger problems now.A problem rooted deep in my abdomen, slowly growing with each passing second.“Are you sure? You look sick.” He pressed.I snapped, trying and failing to hide my trembling voice. “I'm fine, Lumere. Please leave me alone.”I was not fine. I was pregnant. I didn't want to be left alone. I didn't know what to do. I still had one year of college left, but here was, standing in the shambles that was once my life. Tears leaked from my eyes into the shawl, and the mourners around me just assumed it was grief over the death of my parents and sister.Before
