The clanging of white hexagonal plates made Emily cringe. She could still smell the pancakes they had for breakfast which was already down in their stomachs. As she placed a clean plate back in the dish rack, her mother whispered onto her ear. "We have something to talk."
Emily turned to face her mother with a look of suprise. Victoria gave her a wink and she sighed.
"Emily, why don't you let Lucius watch your favorite movie?"
Four hours earlier, Emily had ordered five boxes of pizza which were now sprawled all over the floor. Four of the boxes were emptied and only one remained unopened.After Emily's last bite of her slice of pizza, the credits rolled. "Pass me the remote." She said, not moving her eyes away from the television.Out of the three of them, only Lucius occupied the couch whilst Emily and her mother sat beside each other on the floor. Taking the advantage of having all the couch to himself, he had his head resting on the armrest and his feet resting on the opposite sid
Lucius winced at the things David had done to him a few minutes earlier: he had given such flirtatious lines, nudged Lucius on his elbow, purposely dropped a slice of pizza on Lucius' shoulder, carressing Lucius' abdomen whenever David walks past him.Lucius sees every gender equally, yet David has just gotten himself in Lucius' core to the extent where he wants to punch him in the face for being annoying.
Lucius walked past the red-haired girl he just talked to and let her melt from the flirtatious lines he remembered from David. The lines were effective; however, he realized she was not the wife he was looking for. There was no connection. All he did were forlorn attempts; he has talked to a lot of women in only a few minutes yet the connection he needed to guide him just wasn't there.The red-haired screamed for his name, begging him to come back and asking why he just left so suddenly. He decided to ignore her and not let her pestering make him lose his temper; he needed to find his wife fast. As he walks towards the yacht, rather than the annoying, noisy, techno beats and the shouts of teenagers he was supposed to hear, he heard chanting.Tentatively, he stepped to where the chanting surfaced. It was a small crowd of both genders and the sexualities in between, some have glasses in their hands, some have plates of food, and some have cigarettes. He scrunched h
They drove off. The street lights and the car lights were the only ones that illuminated the place. Together with the soft music on the radio, David's sniffs filled the car.Emily, feeling humiliated, soaking and reeking of vodka, let herself lost as she watches the outside world through her window pass by.One beach party was enough. She swear to not join any parties anymore; she'll make a fool out of herself. She's dealt with so much humiliation in her entire life that she prefers to be locked inside the house and never bother opening the doors to be greeted with people.
They appeared puzzled at the young man's words. Something is going on in their minds surely in which he wants to know about."Olivia? Come down here!" Her mother called out, not moving her eyes away from him.He flinched at the woman's pitchy voice. He heard thunders of footsteps surging from the second level of the house."Yes? What is it?"
The small piece of cake Lucius shoved in his mouth made him realize how great it tasted. Though despite the tension Olivia was giving him, he still managed to smile and wink at her every time he catches her glaring at him and she would hiss at him back.It would take me a long time to fully claim her heart."Son, how do you make a tissue dance?" Ferdinand asked aga
Emily placed her cake on the table as she types Olivia's name in the search bar. She noticed her friend requests, messages, and notifications three words away from the search bar – empty. She shrugged and entered Olivia's name.Countless of Olivia Lovett appeared in the search results but hers stood out due to her profile picture. Under the sun, she sat on the small wooden bridge with a fierce look applied on her face. The black knee-high boots she wore is paired with a black bodycon dress and a beige cardigan. Their colors, even her skin tone enhanced by the touch of the sun rays.
"This lad here officer is a rapist!" Yelled an old woman as she pointed her wrinkly finger at Lucius. Her scratchy voice went out with the overwhelming look of anger and disgust combined found in her face.Olivia continued thrashing as countless of 'help me' escaped her
