No Denial
Emily deliberately cleared her throat and we jolted apart “lunch is ready” she said, setting plates on the table. “sorry for the interruption” she gave a knowing smirk.
Completely embarrassed, Jake ran a hand over the nape of his neck before pulling a chair back for me to seat. Seated on that table having lunch, my stomach churned with guilt. I had promised Bay that I’d end things with Jake, and I had also promised Jake the same thing. No one ever told me that being in a love triangle can be so emotionally draining.Emily, I haven’t really forgiven her I can’t forgive such betrayal so fast. it’s not even possible – I am not so forgiven. Tammy had advised me to keep her close but only to understand the pros and cons of it all and stand at an advantage – use her to get under Claire’s skin – simple!***Few minutes after I had seen Jake and Emily to his motorcycle, I stalked back into tRelated chapters
FATAL DESIRE First Official Date
First date? I was having a little bit of panic and handful of jitters sprinkled on top. As I search through my wardrobe for a perfect dress that'd be more suitable for a daytime coffee date or a trendy new restaurant in town kind of date, either of the two places – I wasn’t certain on where he’d be taking me though, but I have to look it.Frustrated, I plopped on the bed. Jake was waiting downstairs and I was yet to find a single dress good enough for a date. I let out a heavy sigh – this one surprisingly laced with a hint of disappointment. Surly disappointed at myself for not being a proper lady. I picked my phone from the bed and texted Jake “ fashion emergency”.I might as well be a dick and cancel on him last minute. Besides, I was exhausted from sex with Bay and just want to grace my bed with my consumed body. I yawned and tossed the phone back on the bed. Jake knock came softly against the door and he poked his head in &ldqu
FATAL DESIRE The Accident
My sense started to recollect and I squeezed my eyes opened to an unfamiliar hazy room“thank goodness! She just opened her eyes” A voice trembled beside me“Get the doctor” a second voice said while reaching to hold me.My vision became clearer and I found myself in a hospital bed, with no idea what had happened, or why I was there. Aches of various sorts engulfed me, but the main one was a deep, crawling hunger. That was when I remembered that the last thing I had was ice cream and that I was in the ice cream shop with Jake.“Jake” I gasped, bolting upright, but strong hands gripped me and pinned me back on the bed.“ Hailey, you are badly hurt, please don’t struggle” my Dad’s voice came calm and cold as he held me in place.“Where is Jake?, what happened to him?” my heart started pounding as I recollect watching him rolling down the road with the motorbike on top of him. “D
FATAL DESIRE Sinful
I saw myself running down stairs upon stairs until I hit the basement of the hospital building. I sat my back against the wall, closed my eyes and when I squeezed them open, gush of uncontrollable tears flooded them. I never had imagined a day would come when I'd have to share my place beside Jake with another woman. Not just any woman but his runway wife. Someone he once had squirming beneath him. The mother of his child...“Dad called her” Bay’s voice shot me out of my reverie. “ I’m sorry you had to find out this way” He walked down the rest of the stairs. “ you know, Jake and I never really get along since we were children” He paused, and walked to lean his back beside me. I squeezed out the tears in my eyes with two of my fingers and sniffled “ why?” I curiously asked. “ I don’t know. Let just say, we never agreed on the same thing- we had different views about literally everything. When I
FATAL DESIRE Fate
“ Jennet… can you tell me more about her?” I asked Bay. I don’t think I was ready to hear anything about Jennet, but my curiosity was driving me on. “You've seen her, she is beautiful and fierce, quite intimidating, huh?” I ignored his snort and looked away “ Hailey, I know what Jake mean to you, and I'd do my best to help you reach out to him”I casted Bay a I sidelong glance, “for real?”“You don’t believe me?” He shook his head. “just keep in mind that you are mine. We’d resume fighting when he gets better”Never had i imagined that a day like this would come when Bay will be all out helping me to overcome my deep emotional crisis which I had no single control over.Bay pulled up in the hospital parking lot and I climbed down, slamming the door shut. We both stormed toward the entrance, the pain of having seen Jennet all over Jake, showing fake emotions rippe
FATAL DESIRE The Casino
I climbed out of the car and circled around to the other side and waited for Tammy to come out as well. A sign Post caught my attention “ Crismo Bar”. Tammy came out of the car and shrugged her backpack up her shoulder.“Hey, is this where you work?” I pointed her to the Bar. “ Just come with me. Don’t fall behind. Do not act surprised at anything you see, just play cool” her warning was vivid. “ What is going on?”“… And no questions” she punctuated as she began crossing the road.Slowly walking behind Tammy, we entered a very rowdy bar filled with all kinds of people. Thick stench of smokes emanating from cigarettes and stench of bear and cocktail permeate the room. I never new a place like this existed in Fothoman Town. I have lived all my teenage life doing nothing aside shuffling from home to school, and even while at school I spend my free period in the library.We ma
FATAL DESIRE Lead Me In
I got back home to find my Dad waiting up for me “ Hi, Hailey”“ Hi, Dad, sorry I came in late” I apologized while reading his face.We both fell silent for an awkward moment. Dad scratched the back of his head, then cleared his throat “ about earlier, I spoke a bit too harsh. I shouldn’t have mentioned your mother knowing how you feel about her”. Oh yeah! Every time Mr. Hayes is angry, he says really hurtful things but in the end, he takes self accountability. It’s easy for him to say sorry to me, but sometimes I’d just be too prideful to own up to my own mistakes. If I must grow, then learning to say sorry would be a great start.“ I am sorry too. Dad, you were right about everything you said. I was blaming you a lot for my mistakes, and it’s really unfair. I will do better, I promise”“ it’s just – I know you think you’re a grown-up now. But you don’t se
FATAL DESIRE Passion That Burns
Loud laugh vibrated through his chest “ Red is just a street word used to tell a novice apart a wild person. Nothing serious”“ what do you do here?” I asked. He looked into my eyes and heaved a sigh “ you promised, Bay. You promised to answer my questions”“ Hailey… The casino, my Dad owns it – not all of it – a part of it. It jointly belongs to my Dad and the Mayor. My jaw dropped in shock and I took a step back. Bay pulled me in closer “ I know what you must be thinking. But believe me, some of the activities going on in there is not one that I am proud of” “ You do know it’s illegal to run an underground casino in Fothoman, right? And to think the filthy place is co-owned by our very own Mayor? Bay, this is too much to digest” “ I don’t even know why I’m telling you all of this. I just figured I’ve been keeping a lot of secret from you. And for
FATAL DESIRE Little Did I Know
“ I was out all night with Bay. I am sorry Tams. He made me leave the casino in a hurry and I had to accompany him to a very wild party” Tammy gasped “wild party? That sounds like something I'd wish to be a part of. Tell me, how did it go?... Was it fun?"Emily cleared her throat before I could respond to Tammy's questions, turning both our attention to her. “ Was it mad fun? I’ve never been to a wild party… girl – you are leveling up” she pocked my elbow playfully.“ I will tell you guys all about it after lunch, but for now, I am starving”“ Are you sure you’re doing okay, Hailey? I'm just worried about you” Tammy said “ you've been eating a lot lately. You should watch it before you start to put on so much weight”… “ she’s putting on weight already”… Emily added.I jutted my, running my hands over my dress “ you guys noti
