Lauretta chewed hard on her pancake, staring blankly at me.
"What?" My eyebrow rose. She made me confused. "You need something?"
She shook her head. "Hm-hm," and slurped her food further.
Well, she always acted crazy, so I didn't expect less. Grabbing my phone, I dialed my mom's number. It rang for a while, and then, she answered it.
"Hello sweetie," she greeted first. Worry was all I could sense in her voice. I was pretty sure she'd have cried when she saw the video where I was fighting that bitch. The video went viral. But thankfully, Sebastian was rich. He ensured that the video was disabled from every part of the social media.
"Hi Mom." I tried as much as possible to ensure I sounded cool and energized.
"Ady darling." Her breath was hard and shaky over the phone. "I need to see you anytime soon. I've missed my daughter so muc
He was groggy, but close to being sober. When I saw him take that alcohol, I knew that he wanted to get drunk intentionally. We weren't so close, but I knew certain things about him.He hardly drank alcohol. But I kind of noticed that he took it whenever he was way frustrated or tired. I could also distinguish when he was frustrated, and when he was only teasing me because he felt like. Whenever he got frustrated, I wouldn't dare to speak to him. I'd just be calm at all costs, ignoring everything insults he'd throw at me.Staring at his half naked body, my body drowned in attractiveness towards him. His hair was wet, which made its strands slip to his forehead. Water dropped from his jaw, to his chest, then to his rock abs. Muscular, he was. Hot, he was as well. Honestly, any lady could get stimulated by only staring at his body.I looked away, embarrassed that my body crinkled at the sight of him. I didn't like th
The beam of the sharp sun that passed through the curtain blind, disturbed my sleep. I rolled on the bed, used my hand to try to get something to cover my face, but I couldn't reach anything. The sun kept torturing my eyes, so I was forced to sit up.With sleepy eyes, I yawned, and dragged the blanket to cover my naked chest.Wait. Why was I naked?"Oh my gosh!" I gasped, realizing that I was on Sebastian's bed. I completely forgot about what we did last night.About to get up, my eyes caught Sebastian standing by the couch I always slept on. He was dressed in black suit. He had his back on me, so I couldn't see his face.Seeing him alone, I blushed so much. Indeed, he made my first time memorable. As he had promised, he worshipped my body so much. Every touch made my body react in a strange way. I had enjoyed my night. And I definitely wouldn't ever forget it.
"Oh." Lauretta walked to me, holding a cup of popcorn, crunching on it roughly. When it came to eating, she was such a mess in that."Yep, babe." I added a little amount of powder to my face. Ponytail was my favorite hairstyle, so I already packed my hair in it. Blending the lips gloss I added to my lips, I turned to her."So… when will you be back?" She gave me a questioning look."Donno." I shrugged, then returned to staring at myself through the huge glass mirror in my closet. "Probably when my mom releases me. You know she gets so excited when she sees me. I don't even think she'll allow me to return today""Wow. Sweet momma." She chuckled.For a moment, I kept staring at myself through the mirror. Since the day Sebastian had embarrassed me at that mall, I'd become quite cautious of the way I dressed. Normally, I used to dress for about ten minu
Staring at the beautiful dishes mom served on the dining table in front of me, my eyes grew wide, my mouth literally watering. I didn't even know when I dropped my elbow on the table, cupped my chin in my palm, a sigh leaving my lips. Mom was indeed the best person in my world. Not just for her food, but for everything. "Oh, mom," I spoke in a low tone, not even knowing how to state my appreciation. I couldn't take my eyes off the super-enticing dishes. The aroma alone could block my breath. On the left side of the small table, there was a bowl of baked bison meatball, together with brisket burnt ends and corn dogs. Some reindeer sausages stood by the right side, just close to a little amount of lobster Mac and cheese. Mom appreciated local American foods, so I expected this. "More coming," she announced. Turning to the direction of her voice, I gaped. She was holding a bowl of pizza soup. And walking to me, she grinned from ear to ear. "Mom!" I whined. "Do you wanna kill me with f
At this moment, I couldn't cry any longer. My tears were also shocked that they trembled to escape my eyes. I still couldn't understand what was going on. It felt so weird and stupid."What is going on here?" A weird sensation played around my head as I asked her that. Even though she heard me, she continued to look away. Was I supposed to be violent now?"Lauretta!" I yelled at the top of my voice, which kind of made her flinch. "I'm speaking to you!" I jerked her arm, pulled her towards me. "What is going on here? What is happening? Huh?!"She swallowed, shook, her eyes glinting so much fear. "I… can explain this. Do— don't do anything to me. I can explain.""Explain what?" My body lost control of its movement. It felt like I was going to fall, anytime soon."I can explain this," she repeated.Staring into her trembling eyes,
I leaned my back on the door, still sitting on the floor. My knees were tugged to my chest, my elbow wrapped around it. Although it was almost eight in the morning, I was still in my track, not ready to move until Sebastian and I conversed. This morning, I was going to get all I needed. Every one of them. I wouldn't care if he was a controlling husband. All I knew was that I needed an explanation from him, and I was going to get it at any cost. About thirty minutes ago, he had stood up from the bed, and went to the bathroom. Even though he knew I was sitting here, helpless, he ignored my presence, and only walked into the bathroom as if I was some kind of ant who had no emotions. What if an ant had emotions too?My eyes tingled, and my head cried. I hadn't slept last night. All I had done was to stare at the floor, remember everything everyone had told me, and be regretful. This was a really hard game. Soon, a door sounded. Raising my neck to stare at it, I saw Sebastian. He walke
Dreaded and vexatious, I kept looking at him. Also, he did the same. Our eyes were glued to each other like bread and peanut butter. He was angry, but all he did was to stupidly keep staring.Uninformed, he grabbed my arm with an ardent force, pulling me towards him."How dare you?!" He choked out.As if I was ready to hear him speak, I yelled back, "Shut up! Shut your fucking damn mouth!"Like I hadn't yelled before, this one literally made me so weak. My body shook as if my bone had broken. Just as fast I blurted that out, my heart beated at the same rate."How dare you hit me?" His teeth clenched, the thrust of his anger causing him to pant so terribly. "My parents haven't dared to do so. No one, absolutely no one, has dared to do so. Who gave you the courage to hit me? Tell me!" His body swatted as he yelled.I snorted. "You are terrible
The expression I could read from his face was shock. It felt as if he didn't expect me to ever state that. And the thing was, did it mean he didn't want to get divorced to me? Or did it mean he was excited?What do you want, dude?Confused, I kept staring at him. Our eyes were locked on each other, none of us seeming to want to avert just yet. Soon, he took a step closer, and closer, and closer. His mouth and eyes were still widely open. And before I could say anything, he held my arm, pulled me to him, locking my small body into his chest. I gaped, blinking like a robot, stiffened in my posture. His hands slowly move to my back, then to my hair. "Adrienne," he called breathlessly, a bit of excitement in his voice. That was it. He was happy. "Thanks you so much." As he spoke, he laughed curtly as well. "Thanks. I'm so glad. Thanks for finally saying this. At least, I won't have to think of what to tell my mom."I knitted my eyebrows, confused. "Mom?" I enquired. He pulled away, but
