He Drains Me Time After Time
Things between Liam and me were still complicated.But at least we had reached a quiet agreement not to fight what we felt for each other anymore. We never defined what we were out loud. Still, it was clear as day; he was mine, and I was his. I chose to enjoy every moment of it while it lasted. He loved pampering me, even though I drew the line when it came to money. I never felt comfortable with him buying me things, especially when I could get them myself. At some point, he noticed the pattern and stopped trying after realizing I would always refuse. Every time I went to his place, he took care of me in smaller, quieter ways, which I loved. He gave me full-body massages. He was genuinely good at it, and I suppose he never complained because most of them ended in sex. He fed me too. He was an excellent cook. That, and his painting skills. Sometimes I really felt like he had missed his calling with both. I often wondered how he had ended up in construction instead.The one thing I lo
He Drains Me I Don't Need You
I chose the public toilets upstairs. They were locked, and I was the only one with the key. Most people wouldn't climb the stairs or take the elevator when there were restrooms downstairs. I just needed a moment to breathe and put myself back together. The event had already taken more from me than I had to give.I stepped inside without locking the door. Cold water hit my face. When I looked up, the mirror was honest in a way I couldn't hide. I had lost too much weight. The hollows under my eyes were darker than the makeup could conceal. I looked worn out.I was dragging nude lipstick across my lower lip when the door opened behind me.Our eyes met in the mirror.Liam looked wrecked."Princess."The name left him looking as if it cost him something. A single tear slipped down my cheek before I could stop it. I capped the lipstick with steady hands and put it away, using the small delay to rebuild whatever armour I still had.I turned to leave."Wrong restroom," I said flatly. "This is
He Drains Me Dance With The Devil
Liam kept his word after our final dinner.He never reached out again. At work he remained strictly professional, and to my quiet surprise his time management improved dramatically. I told myself I should be grateful. I had lost him, but in return I gained a version of him that no longer made me look incompetent in front of my boss. During the day I survived by filling every hour with schedules, site visits, and reports. As long as I kept moving, the emptiness stayed at a manageable distance.Home was where it found me.The loneliness that settled in after Liam was different from anything I had known before. I had always been alone and independent. It never used to feel like a wound. After him, it became unbearable. Sleep turned into a chore of restlessness and shallowness. The food lost its taste until the only things I could keep down were peanuts and water. I started waking at five in the morning, lying in the dark with my chest tight and my thoughts circling the same empty space.
He Drains Me You and I
After my lunch with Caitlin, I wasn't in the mood for anything or anyone at work. The conversation had left a heavy quietness in my chest that followed me all the way back to the office. I walked past my assistant and greeted her out of pure routine, barely registering her response.I never felt the need to confront Liam about his absence the day before. Some part of me already knew it would come up later that evening, and I didn't have the energy to deal with it twice.In the end, I accomplished almost nothing for the rest of the afternoon. I sat at my desk, stared at the same documents for longer than I should have, and eventually decided to leave. All I wanted was to go home, close the door behind me, and prepare myself for what was coming.At home, I took my time. I stood in front of the mirror longer than usual, choosing a simple outfit with more care than the occasion probably required. A black tracksuit, a nude crop top underneath, nude heels, and a small white pouch. I pulled
He Drains Me Draw The Line
The first thing I did when I woke up on Tuesday was send the same message to both Caitlin and Liam.Can we talk?I booked them both for Friday. Caitlin for lunch, and Liam after working hours, around six in the evening, more like an early dinner. After sending that text, I never messaged her again, and neither did she. I believe she saw it as a small opening, the first time I had reached out since everything fell apart, even if the message itself was vague and careful.The difficult part with Liam was that I still had to see him every day at work. We kept our interactions strictly professional, and under different circumstances I might have been grateful for that. It was what I had always claimed I wanted between us. This time, though, it felt colder. Something had shifted. I felt it in the way he barely looked at me, in the way his voice stayed flat and distant whenever he had to speak to me about the project. No accidental touches. No quiet compliments. No lingering stares that used
He Drains Me Walking on Sunshine
You know how people feel when they listen to the song "Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves? Completely light, happy, and free. Those were the exact emotions "The Place" brought out of me. Just pure relief. There was a calmness settling into my chest that I hadn't felt in a long time. The kind that made my shoulders drop and my thoughts slow down.Twice in a row I found myself being woken up early and actually feeling excited for it. Ready for a new day. No heavy sense of dread, no mental checklist of problems waiting for me. Just the quiet anticipation of whatever the day might hold.Sunday morning, our first stop was the animal husbandry side of the farm. Saturday had been more about horticulture, even though we hadn't managed to experience all of it due to limited time. Now we walked toward the animal shelters under a soft, clear sky. They gave us the chance to try milking cows, collecting the warm milk into metal buckets, and feeding the horses by hand. The animals were c
