•••••••••••••••••FOUR MONTHS LATER⏰Steadying my trembling fingers, I applied Seven’s favorite lipstick, just as Lizzy instructed.I sighed for the fourth time since I lowered my butt on this chair.“Argh,”… I whimpered since I couldn’t still get it right even after trying for the third time.Currently, I was trying to draw my brows. Boss Lizzy said I had to put on makeup to wherever she was taking me. I was consumed by ultimate complaint when she stormed into my room, annoyance evident on her beautiful face.She has made herself up too and suggested that I do the same too, but I refused and after much argument, I placed my butt on the chair and started doing what I didn’t know.“Give me that.” She grabbed the eye pencil while I chuckled and placed my hands on her ass, settling my face properly for her to do it.The one I knew how to do was a neutral one, but for some reasons unknown to me, she said she wanted something different tonight.“Okay, Elizabeth, I don’t want to look good
The room atmosphere wasn’t awkward because everyone felt love was present until Ella spoke up.“Uh…. Starr, what did the doctor say? Is it your normal illness that made you sick?”Then Seven chipped in with Lizzy’s and Tania’s eyes roaming to everyone’s faces. “Yeah, she had a little head concoction. The doc said it’s because of her memory loss. Her lost memories are probably fighting their way back and she took her drugs without eating, too.” He explained, and Ella crinkled her face like she doesn’t know everyone is trying to hide it from him.“Really? Memory loss? I thought it was……”I quickly chipped in, glaring hard at Ella with a pleading gaze. “Yes, it was memory loss.”“Really, Starr?” She inquired again, her face filled with a wicked glare.My gaze went to Seven’s immediately. He leaned forward from his chair, suddenly interested in what was going on. “What do you mean by that, Ella? Or is there something else?”“Baby…” I trailed off.“Ella, can you please stop that?” Lizzy qu
My pale face stared back at him till I found the least of my courage and finally said something. Though my voice was a little low but sharp. “Is everything okay?”His face was still as straight as a frame till he bent his head momentarily, flipped his wet tongue over his full lips, and spoke to me. “You tell me.”That was all I needed to hear for my heart to pound faster. My heart began to race as I stared at him before shrugging my shoulders to act nonchalant. “I don’t understand.”Every minute that passed with the eerie silence he pushed felt like a sword piercing through my heart, as I couldn’t wait to hear what he had known.He lowered his head again, temporarily. Down to his folded hands before fixing it back in my direction. “The doctor instructed that your drugs should be taken with food, and this morning you took it without eating.”I arched my brows as he let that half out, waiting for him to continue, but he took a pause. “Starr, when were you going to tell me you have issue
I snapped my eyes open, moving my fingers to trace the blood. Not knowing what to do, I plastered a small smile on my face before I narrowed my eyes to meet his worried face.“I’ll be fine.” I muttered as I tried to take another step, but stopped abruptly the moment I saw the entire room rolling in circles.Hearing his voice that sounded distant, I knew I’d be on the floor any moment from now. “Baby, hold on a minute. I’ll get my car keys and take you to a hospital.” His shaky voice cut through the air.My hands clenched into a fist as I hastily shook my head in disapproval. “No. no. Babe, I’m fine.”Swiftly, he leaned closer and held me by my waist to grip me. “I’m definitely taking you to the hospital right now.” He urged, his tone filled with command as it echoed adamantly.My hands that laid on his arms fell in defeat as realization hit me that he would definitely not take no for an answer, especially in this condition of mine.So I nodded my head in approval as he motioned that I
Spreading my hands apart, my eyes flickered open and I clasp my mouth together to stiffen a loud yawn.After making sure I’d surveyed the entire room, I turned to my side with a smile to stare at his beautiful face.He looked so peaceful and innocent with his lips slightly apart and a soft snore coming from him.After that brief stare, I took my eyes to his small table where his alarm clock was before dropping my legs to the floor.Swiftly, I wore his slippers and moved to the bathroom to take a leak and definitely brush my teeth and after take my bath.Squinting my eyes around, I stood up and approached the bathroom door. I just wanted to do everything, then make breakfast and take my drugs before he’d wake and ask questions.I took in a deep breath and hurried to the bathroom and jammed the door shut.I furrowed my brows as I searched for where he kept the toothbrush he used to brush my teeth last night.My eyes landed on it just right above the box where he keeps his skin care rout
“Huh? What did you say?” He asked, his voice dripping with presence. He feigned ignorance, like he wasn’t aware of what he was clearly doing to me.“Seven, please…..” I spoke out loud again, my voice sounding raspy caught between the sensation building in me and not wanting to put an end to it.Crying out, I pleaded with him to take it easy on me, but he didn’t listen as he didn’t say a word and positioned himself at my entrance and pushed it again.My both hands found my mouth to clasp it shut, but he took his hand to mine to unclasp it. “I want to hear all of it.”So my both hands fell to my sides on the bed, gripping and grabbing the sheet to culture my self on my soundtracks.“Ahhhh.” I whimpered and shrieked under him, making him know how vulnerable I have become under him.His chest was heaving, moving forward and backwards as he continued his torturous work. So carefully, I leaned forward as my jaw met his right shoulder.Opening my mouth, I bit it, trying to suppress my moan a
His face brightened a little, and he grabbed my hands into his and placed a kiss on the back of it. “I love you too …..”He took a pause, as he took in a deep breath, making his Adam's apple pop out a little. “But Starr, are you okay? Do you feel sick?”His eyes searched mine, looking for anything but an answer. “No, I’m fine Seven. Okay?”Instantly, my stomach churned, sending the feeling that induces nausea right directly to my throat.Suddenly the feeling of disgust, or should I say, regurgitation, surged through me so quickly I gulped it back down, pushing it back with my spit.The doctor mentioned that with the drugs I was taking, the side effects would be nausea, weakness, and stomach irritation.So that’s why I’m not halfway to the hospital freaking out.I took my eyes back to the throbbing eyes of him, still staring without taking it off for a minute. He just stood before me, gazing intensely.Knowing a lot would probably be going through his mind and I didn’t want him to beco
Two weeks have passed. Seven and I were supposed to go on our date last week Saturday but work had it moved so we were both currently preparing to go today.Seven had to travel back to New York for a meeting and I had to understand as the understanding girlfriend I pledged to be.But now right, I’m glad that we were finally able to do this.My ringing phone jolted me out of my reverie. It was on top of the cabinet where my makeup was. So steadying my full hands, I picked.That familiar deep, masculine voice sent a shrill of excitement through me. I haven’t heard from him for a long time now and trust me that’s not how best friends behave.But it wasn’t entirely my fault. Kelvin was now a busy person. One that travels from country to country in one week. So he was damn busy.“Hey, hello?” I responded with my lips pouted to the mirror still applying my red seductive lip stick to it, just like the way Seven likes it.“Starr? What sup? How’re you?” He asked all at once and I was wondering
The kitchen was eerily silent, with just burning gazes. I knew I had to say something to make him believe me and not be suspicious of anything.So I cleared my throat and responded. “Uh…. Yeah, babe.” I took a pause while his eyebrows etched, waiting to hear my reason.I forced a laugh, trying to ease the tension, but he was serious. He kept a straight face. “The drugs…Uh.. they’re also skin supplements.”I stated as I chuckled again, trying to ease myself and hope that he buys it. “Skin supplements?” He asked, as his forehead wrinkled in confusion.“Yeah. I take them pretty often.”My eyes widened, so I leaned back, surprised, while I tapped on the side of my thighs as I waited for his next words. “Hmm… I never knew you take supplements for your skin.”When that came out of his mouth, I knew he bought it already, so I tried to be calm as I spoke. “Yeah, I do.”“Okay.” He gave a curt response and turned around for a moment and turned back to face me immediately, like he remembered som
