Chapter 17 - All the beauty in the world
Simon parks his car at the back of a huge building. I look around to figure out where we are but I genuinely don’t know. Being here with him shows me that I don’t really go anywhere. I have spent my life within the limits of my city. We drove for about an hour out of the city but I wouldn’t tell you what this place is called.
I realize I need to explore more. I need to open myself to the idea of going places. I have my own car and money there isn’t a valid reason why I don’t know a place an hour out of my town. It has never occurred to me to go on a spontaneous drive. I bet I would be amazed at the fun things I’ll find outside of my little town.
I really should not it, not just think about it. I mean really do it. Pack up my car and disappear for the weekend. I spend too much time cooped up in my apartment. Now that Chloe is living with me, I have even more reason to go on adventures.
“I’ll get the door.&rdqu

“Are you sure you’re okay with having burgers for dinner? We can go to a much better restaurant; we don’t have t eat here.” I say and Adira gives me a side eye. I feel bad for not taking her t some posh, expensive place. But she insisted we come here, we were walking around looking for a nice place to eat when we came across this small restaurant.It’s so small it only has ten tables, the inside is nice but it’s nowhere near posh. It’s more like a local, family owned restaurant. It looks like the menu and décor haven’t been changed in a long time. At least the place is clean, if I wasn’t working on charming Adira this would have been perfect. But I’m on a mission here. Tonight was supposed to be about me sweeping her off her feet. I wanted to make a real impression. I want us to move forward in our relationship. I want her to think of me as more than just a random guy she has fun with. I want her

“Welcome.” I say when we walk into my apartment. I switch on the light and Adira gasps in surprise. She looks at me and then she looks back at my apartment.“Thank you very much.” Adira says walking in. I close the door behind us watching her look around. She has this look of awe looking at the art work. I have all types of art spread out throughout the apartment. It’s refreshing to see someone experience my personal space like this for the first time,“You are welcome.” I say walking past her into the kitchen. “I have two different flavors of ice cream, chocolate and raspberry. Which one would you like?” I ask opening the fridge. I take a deep breath to cal m myself. I can’t believe she’s here. Now that she’s a few feet from my studio all I can think about is painting her. I want to d it so bad but I know I can’t ask her now. I need to gain her trust and get her to a plac

“Shit.” Is the first word that comes out of my mouth when I open my eyes. I can’t believe its morning; I turn so I can see behind me. Simon is not in bed with me, I lie still listening to the sounds outside his room. I can hear him walking around out there. I think he’s in the kitchen, I can hear plates clinking together.I close my eyes for a second and feel myself fall asleep again. I open them quickly, I can’t fall asleep again. I have to get home. I don’t remember when I fell asleep last night. We spent the whole night talking about art, food and anything else we could think about.We laughed so much the muscles in my stomach hurt and then I don’t remember what happened. I don’t remember coming to bed. But I can tell you I had the best sleep of my life. I didn’t wake up at all through the night, that’s rare for me. But last night I knocked all the way out.

“Are you okay?” Simon says looking at me as we walk down a long path of a park in the city. The path is made of this shiny rock that looks like someone spilt water on the ground. And that water froze in place. It’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve seen in a long time.“No I’m not okay.” I say looking at him. I take a deep breath trying to clear my mind of the clutter rattling around in it. What Chloe said is echoing in my mind. I hate to think Simon and I will end the same way Phil and I did. I’m trying not to give her words any more energy but she hit home with her words.I like Simon a lot and I don’t think I would survive him doing that to me.“Do you want to talk about it?” He asks concerned. How do I tell him what my sister said without sounding crazy? Can I trust him with something so vulnerable? Can I even let him know how much I like him?“I want to but I don’t know
I want my sister's lover Chapter 22- Boundaries
I went straight to bed as soon as I got home from my date with Simon. I didn’t want to run into Chloe and have her tell me how I’m failing as a sister. I’m being forced to hide in my own home. I weep at the memories of a time when my house was a safe haven.Like clockwork Chloe took over my life and like a fool I let her. Now I’m lying in my bed wide awake, I should be sleeping but I can’t. I wish I was in Simon’s bed right now. I want to sleep like I did the other night.My brain is running so fast right now there’s no way in hell I’m falling asleep.“Just come in.” I hear Chloe say at my front door. She’s trying to whisper but she’s failing. It’s 3 am and everything is quiet, so I can hear clearly. “Why are you walking so slowly? Come in.” She says and I hear feet shuffle on the floor. Chloe is unbelievable; she’s not pulling this sit on me right now. I

“Thank you for coming.” Adira says when she opens her apartment door. I can tell she’s tired. I was worried when she called me and asked to come over. She told me what happened with Chloe and I had to be there for her without question.She sounded so torn about everything. Although her sister is downright abusive and ungrateful, Adira loves her very much. I can tell she feels guilty about kicking her out. I think this is the best thing that could happen to the both of them. Adira is setting boundaries and sticking to them. That way she’s teaching Chloe to respect and value her. Chloe will be back and when she does she’s going to treat her sister right.It’s all part of the process, it may now but eventually they’ll figure it out. I just have to keep Adira’s mind off of everything until then.“Thank you for inviting me. I come bearing gifts.” I say raising the grocery bags

“This smells so good. Wow, I’m literally salivating. It looks good too.” Adira says taking the seat she was sitting in before she left me in the kitchen. I place a bowl of food in front of her and she smiles. I’m proud of the food I made tonight. I can’t wait for her to have a bite.“It tastes good too.” I say smiling at her proudly. I can tell by the smell that this is the best Teriyaki chicken I’ve ever made. I don’t need her to confirm that fact but I love that she loves what she’s seeing.“Wow!” She exclaims after taking a bite. She looks at me appreciatively and then she takes another bite immediately after. I smile feeling good; I love to see her enjoying the little things.“I told you.” I say when she does her little dance. I take a seat and start eating too. I do a dance too when the chicken hits my taste buds. This is really god, my mother

“I knew if I didn’t come to you, you would never come to me. So here I am, tell me what you want.” My mother says sitting on my sofa. She’s been sitting there for the past three hours. She just showed up at my door unannounced. I had a client so she had to wait for me to finish with her hair first.I thought she’d leave when she realized I was busy but no. she waited it out. She didn’t say a word until now. I know why she’s here and I’m already dreading the conversation. I stand at the front door unable to sit down.I’ve been standing there since my client left. I don’t trust myself to relax when my mother is here.“I don’t want anything from you.” I say and she looks at me shocked. But it’s true, she made sure that I never want or need anything from her. Instead she’s the one always demanding things from me. That’s why she’s here right?“You
