Adira
“What’s wrong?” Chloe asks getting into the car. She closes the door looking at me with so much concern on her face. I smile to make her calm down; I don’t know why she’s looking at me like the world is five to ending.
“Nothing is wrong.” I say and she looks at me unconvinced. Where is this sudden concern and worry coming from?
“Then why are you here?” She asks looking at me like I’m lying. “You never pick me up from work. Why are you picking me up today?” She asks staring at me. I start the car and we leave.
“I want us to go talk to dad.” I say and she looks at me shocked. She quickly looks out the window hiding her face. I don’t have to see her face to know she’s annoyed with me.
“I didn’t think you meant to go talk to him today. You didn’t sound like you were going to do it today
“How was your day?” Simon says when he opens his apartment. I smile knowing I’m finally where I want to be. He smiles too; I walk to him and give him a hug. I’ve waited to feel him and smell him all day long. His essence is the only thing keeping me sane.“My day was interesting.” I say leaning into his embrace. His arms wrap around me tighter, he always knows exactly what I need. “How was your day?” I ask letting him go.“I had a good day.” He says closing the door. He turns to look at me smiling. “How did your talk with your dad go?” He asks looking at me curiously. I smile and shake my head. I decided to not talk about my drama with him as soon as I left my parent’s house. I have to start separating my life; I need to protect what I have with him.I won’t let the darkness of that part of my life ruin the light we have in our life together.“No, I would rather have
I open the door to my bedroom for Adira, letting her walk in first. She gets on the bed and sits up on the bed. I get on the bed and lie on my tummy. I look up at her smiling; she’s staring in the direction of the painting.I can’t believe how beautiful this woman is. She’s effortlessly beautiful, she takes my breath away every time I look at her.“How long is the painting going to take to finish?” Adira asks looking at the canvas. I turn onto my back and look up at her. She’s sitting up her body slightly swallowed by the pillows.“A while.” I say and she smiles“Is it weird that I was hoping it would be done tonight?” She says making me smile.“No, that makes sense. You’re anxious t see the finished piece.” I say and she looks at me smiling sweetly.“Do you want to go back?” she asks pointing the chair I was sitting in when I was painting her.&
I open my eyes and find Simon deep in sleep. He’s on his side facing me. I touch his lips wishing he was awake, so we can make love again. But I’ll let him sleep. We made love all night long, he’s probably exhausted. He needs to rest so he can get back to work today. I wore him out last night.I had the best night of my life. I’ve never had someone make love to me like that. I’m still reeling over the way he made me scream with pleasure. The way he touched me, kissed me. He took his time making sure I get my pleasure.I think I cried a few times from the sheer feeling of his passion, I felt so happy and overwhelmed. Simon is an amazing lover. He makes sure I feel each and every stroke he gave me. I love how his fingers grip me, it’s like he’s trying to anchor me to him. He has such power in his body but he uses it so gently. He’s a master at controlling it too. He made sure to give me just enough, so I&r
Hey I need a favor…Will you please come with me to go get Chloe’s stuff?She left her bags at Phil’s apartment I hate to ask but I don’t want to go alone And Chloe is throwing a fit, so she won’t do itAdiraNo problem I’ll come pick you up in an hourSimonI smile grateful he wants to help me. I can’t imagine facing that by alone. I need someone there to keep me grounded. I’m not sure I’ll be able to keep my anger to myself when I’m alone with him. I want to kill him and Chloe for sealing my father’s money.I know he did something stupid with it. He probably bought his friends booze with it, or he pr
“Where did you learn to cook so well?” Chloe asks staring at me. She’s been staring at me like that since Adira and got home. She keeps asking me random questions to keep the conversation between us going. I do engage with her in the conversation but every time I turn my attention to Adira. She makes sure to ask me something else that will take the attention away from her sister.To say I feel uncomfortable is an understatement. I feel weirded out too, how can she look at me like that when her sister is right next to me? I’m here for Adira of ‘course but I don’t want to come off as rude to her sister as well. I don’t know why but I feel obligated to keep a balance between the two. I don’t want to give too much attention to Adira that she feels I’m crossing a line. And I don’t want to ignore Chloe as well.Maybe I’m trying to over compensate because of their situation with Phil. I can tell there’s t
“I feel sleepy; I think we should turn in.” Adira says to Simon and they give each other that cheesy, we’re in love smile that I hate. They look so perfect and happy together. I hate that Adira has so much happiness with someone. I know it’s wrong but I love it when she’s unhappy, especially when I’m happy but I don’t care. It lets me know that I’m not a failure, it’s lets me know that I’m not alone. Seeing her with Simon makes feel so lonely, it hurts to know that I’m in this alone. “That’s sad I thought you guys were going to stay up with me for a little while longer.” I say smiling at Simon sweetly. I’m talking to him anyways; I want him to stay up all night with me. I don’t care about Adira she can go sleep alone. I want to hear more of his funny childhood stories. He’s a very cool guy, I get why Adira is so in love with him. I would be obsessed with him too if he was my boyfriend. In fact I’m not ashamed to sa
“I want to talk to you about something.” I say to Adira and she looks at me for a moment unsure. She sits up on her bed staring at me. I look at her beautiful face hoping she will be open to what I’m about to tell her. I hope she sees the good in it and not the disaster. Want her to be with me on this so bad, if she says yes our life would be so good together.“I feel like you’re about to tell me something life altering.” She says looking at me sideways. She’s not wrong; I want us to change our life for the better. This is going to be hard for her I know but I’m with her all the way.“Well.” I say and she bulges her eyes out scared. I want to calm her down and tell her it’s nothing big but I don’t know if that’s true. Moving is big thing, asking her to uproot her life for me is a big thing. I am asking the world of her but I promise t give her the world too.“
“Hi.” Chloe says opening the door. The smile on my face immediately turns into a frown. If she’s opening the door it means Adira is not home yet. I look down the hall contemplating if I should go wait for Adira downstairs. I don’t want to be with Chloe alone, I don’t trust her at all. “Adira is not home yet, that means we have time to talk. Come in.” She says opening the door wider.She smiles at me and I can feel my gut stand on its feet. It is telling to get the hell out of here. I’m not comfortable with this at all. I take out my phone and dial Adira’s number. I need to find out where she is and she needs to know where I am.“Hey, I’m running a little late. I’m sorry.” She says answering on the second ring. “I got an extra appointment I didn’t plane for.” She adds and I feel guilty for bothering her. I bet she’s swamped right now. I just ha
