Stupid In Love

last update Last Updated: 2023-07-06 22:10:55
I took a day off.

In the middle of the week, and the first time for me, I took it.

I pride myself in reporting to work no matter what, even if I’m bloodied and half alive, best believe that I need the salary that much that I would power through.

He knows that. He knows that I will come to work whatever the case.

But this time, this time I just can’t.

I physically would not be able to.

After bawling my eyes out with my mom, I relocated my misery to my designated area and wept like a baby in my room.

Poor Charlotte had to take the brunt of my suffering by trying everything in order to comfort me.

The puppy resorted to placing herself on my chest and licking all the tears. She was that determined but she finally got knocked out around sunrise.

I just could not sleep, all these scenarios in my head kept on playing.

How did he cheat on me, where, and how many times?

Did he love it?

It’s maddening.

I’m exhausted from crying for the past few days and I just don’t have the wherewi

  • Craving Mr. Cane   Playing Games

    “We can’t. I mean, not here.” I faltered… already thinking about the possibilities. But then he grabbed my waist, and all thoughts fled from my muddled mind. His sweaty body was up close. Muscles bulging and glistening, I swallowed hard. Forcing my eyes to leave the tantalizing view. “Come on,” he urged. “Hailey… Hailey’s here. Your lawyer’s waiting for you,” my voice was weak. His appointment is the farthest thing from my mind.“Mhmm… Okay.” His hand on my lower back pushed me towards him so that I was pressed up against him. From his chest to my thigh, he kept our bodies oh so close that I could feel him. I could feel everything. “I’m serious, she’s here. She’s waiting, Austin,” I tried again. But my throat was dry. “She’s here to help you… I mean,” I stuttered once I felt his other hand untuck my blouse. “Austin, people might come in here.” “They know better than to interrupt me…” his hand tugged my top loose while the other, I just noticed, was inching closer to my thigh, ta

  • Craving Mr. Cane   Tilted

    I found him hunched over one of those monstrous gym machines. Working up a sweat, almost hyper ventilating as he pushed his body. The poor guy isn’t letting up. He hasn’t noticed me when he next hopped onto a treadmill. Austin ran and ran. He ran like someone was out to get him. I watched him as he pushed and pushed his legs, like if he stopped something bad might happen. My stomach bottomed out. He doesn’t deserve what his family has done to him. What they’re planning to do. “Love…” I whispered. “Are you… are you okay?”He looked up and the pained expression on his face imprinted on my brain. I hadn’t seen him like this in a long while, not since I fucked up. I wanted to reach out and remove all his worries. So I did. He stopped running but his head remained hung low. I wasn’t sure if it’s sweat or those are tears. But his heavy breathing indicated that it could be either. Austin doesn’t cry. He doesn’t show emotions. Not until now. Not until his whole world is crumbling around

  • Craving Mr. Cane   The Cavalry

    It was the clicking of heels. Then the swaying of her hair. And that perfume. My head swiveled as soon as Attorney Hailey Sinclair entered the corridor. There’s no other word for it. She strutted. I couldn’t believe it, she’s the all-business no fun type but right here and right now? The girl is in a good mood. Dare I say, she seems… upbeat?Totally uncalled for and not what we need as of the moment but it surely did cut the tension that’s choking both Austin and I lately. “The cavalry has arrived,” she announced. She aimed her attention at me and smirked. “Okaaay? Does he know you’re arriving? Any appointments?” I asked. She smiled. “We haven’t met properly yet, right?”“Um, yeah. Sorry, I was kinda loopy the last time.” I almost tilted my head in shame. Remembering the time I was so out of it. “I was face planting the floor.” I whispered, nonetheless. “I noticed,” she nodded. I wanted the floor to swallow me whole. “Hey, hey… no worries, okay? We all have our bad days. I mean,

  • Craving Mr. Cane   The Walls Are Caving In

    “What do you mean, we can’t go in? Motherfuc-” Austin growled at the guard. “Sorry, sorry! It’s policy, sir. We can’t have visitors during emergencies. We’re fixing the issue. I mean, there isn’t really one, it’s just…” the guard sighed as Austin continued throwing daggers with his eyes. “What aren’t you saying? You’re hiding something.” Austin snarled one more time. “It’s just policy, Mister. I can’t disclose what’s happening inside. But I can’t let you enter either.”“That’s entirely ridiculous! You can’t just do that, okay? What the fuck is really going on? Tell me now,” he demanded. Before things could get any more heated, I intervened. “Hey, could you just give us a moment, please? And can you just step back a little? No need to brandish your gun like that. We just wanted to visit someone.”“Yes, ma’am. Sorry, it’s just a little tense out here.” “No worries.” He stepped away. Austin and I were left alone outside the prison’s entrance. Staring at the gate and wondering how he

    It wasn’t until an hour before visiting his mother that I saw the cracks to his carefully crafted exterior. He was perfectly dressed, as usual. Maybe even more, his suit is his armor after all. The three piece he was donning was not helping me keep my cool, though. Sometimes, I still get these reminders that I’m dating the most attractive man I’ve ever met. It was after work and he sighed a heavy sigh when we stepped off the elevator to the parking lot. His mind was faraway, I could just tell. He was troubled, calculating his next moves and more than apprehensive. The tension on his shoulders never left today. I could just feel the waves of nerves exuding from him. “Hey, do we have time for a little break?” I asked. “Yeah, I wanted to get a grip first. Want to eat?” “I mean, yeah. But, can we park somewhere? Just order some take out.” “Sure,” he murmured. Mind slipping somewhere off as we drove away. It wasn’t hard to find an overlooking spot at this point. We ate silently. I de

    “I’m the one taking Cane Industries from you…” “Oh my god, Austin. Oh my god. That was Sebastian Cane. It really was, oh my god. That was your brother. I mean, I could see the similarities. He’s actually quite tall. You guys got good genes, huh?” I yapped because he was still stunned. We both were. I watched as his brother left, nonchalantly and without any care that he’d just shaken Austin’s world. Austin was a deer caught in the headlights. He was shocked. I can see him processing everything little by little. “How? I mean, why? What?” he stammered. “Did that just really happen right now?” “Yes, it really did. Are you okay, love?” I inquired. His face was ashen. He’s not moving, he’s just there. His eyes were wide open. I saw his trembling hands clench into a fist, and just like that, he snapped into war mode. “This was deliberate. He’s a shark,” he said. “He’s planned this. Everything.” “Oh my god,” I repeated in disbelief. “Looks like it. He just came in here and did his thi
