Over the past few weeks, things at work were ok. Nothing good. Nothing bad. Working is fun but definitely not highlighted in my life. It’s just a skill that I can do and not a big deal. Orion and I have been getting to know each other too. We would go out on dates, talk on the phone, text each other, or even relax at his place or mine. In my twenties, I would have done the deed with him already. Now, turning 40 in 2 years, I abstain. Not that I don’t want to be with Orion, it’s just th

    Crown After Orion left, we walked back into the bedroom and sat on the loveseat. “Lara, please tell me the whole truth. I know something is bothering you and it’s not just me and Orion,” I told her. I let her take her time answering. It’s not easy to open up to someone. You may be comfortable and trust a person, but that comfort and trust has boundaries. It took her a while to respond. “When I was young, I used to have these dreams. Recurring vivid dreams. Kind of like a memory, but not my memory, because I was young. I was fighting or trying to fight,” she said as she was gesturing with her arms. “Scared. I was scared. I was thrown into a cave. A man or older boy was laughing, he said stay here I’ll come back. He never did. I heard other people there also laughing but I couldn’t see them. I think I was in the cave for 2 days because there was darkness then light, then darkness then light again,” she said. I can see the toll it’s taking on her, but it still doesn

  • Losing the Lonely   Chapter 45 Anxiety Number 1

    Lara “Crown, that smells so good,” I said as I dramatically inhaled the scents coming from the pot and pan on the stove. “You do know I already ate breakfast,” I said with a smile on my face. “I do. This is for later,” Crown responded as he pointed to the food he was cooking. “You know, I just might have to correct myself with my co-workers and say I am dating both of you,” I said with a laugh and sat at the table with Orion. Before I walked into the kitchen I felt tension in the air, but I didn’t understand it. After my comment, it didn’t escape me that both Crown and Orion stiffened. “What do you mean,” Orion scowled at me. “Well, just that one time both of you dropped me off and picked me up from work. They made a few observations to me,” I said nonchalantly. “What kind of observations,” Crown asked. “You guys, why so serious? My single co-workers are excited because you two are so goodlooking. My married co-workers are living vicariously through me because you two

  • Losing the Lonely   Chapter 44: Breakfast

    Lara The days flew by, and I’m not sure why. It could be that Orion and I are becoming closer to each other. We’ve been alternating where we spent our time. The days I stayed at his house Crown would come over. Sometimes he’d come over when I was at my house, but that wasn’t often. This morning Shan and I just got off of our shift and while walking to the parking garage we heard, “hey, let’s do breakfast.” We turned around towards the voice. It was Dr. Cameron. “Hey doc,” we said in unison. “I’m down if you are,” Shan said. “Ok,” I said as I took out my phone and group text Orion and Crown. Text: LARA: I’m going to breakfast with Shan and Doc Cameron. I’ll be home after. “Pancake House or somewhere else,” Doc said. “Pancake House,” Shan said. “Pancake House,” I said. “Pancake House,” Nelly said walking up to us. “Me too,” Dani said. “Perfect. Let’s go,” Doc said. After that everyone went to their own cars to meet at the Pancake House. Shan and I were parked ri

  • Losing the Lonely   Chapter 43: Face To Face

    Mr. Green When I sat down at a table, the woman that was sitting alone looked up. Surprise on her face. Not obvious, but it was there. “We meet again,” I said in a monotoned hushed voice. The only response was her lips pressing into a thin line. “Why do you keep following me,” I asked, looking into her eyes. She stayed silent. I also stayed silent. We sat at this table staring at each other saying nothing. “Sir,” a server said hesitantly. “Yes,” I answered her but kept my eyes on the woman across from me. “Is there something we can help you with, sir,” the server said again. “No,” I answered again. “But sir, this is not suitable for you,” the server sounded a little distressed. “This is fine,” I said impatiently. “But,” the waitress tried again. “Leave,” I commanded. The server jumped a little. “Yes, sir,” she said softly walking away. The woman across from me shifted her eyes to the server walking away. The lips that were pressed into a thin line became even

    Lara Sound drifted into my ears and my mind slowly started to wake up. “Hey. You're up,” a voice said. I opened my eyes and saw Orion lying next to me on his bed, in his bedroom. My eyes took in my surroundings. I can't believe I slept here, I thought. “Hey,” I whispered groggily, mentally shaking off sleep. Orion enveloped me into his arms, and I snuggled closer to him. “How was your day,” I asked him. “It was ok. I worked on my car and my new hire isn't bad,” he responded. “Oh yeah,” I said absently breathing in his scent. He smiled at me. “Marcus is shadowing her. According to him, she’s pretty good,” he said. “Ohh, a woman,” I said with a smile. “Yeah, she's better than some of the guys I hired before,” he stated with a chuckle. “Yes! Girl power,” I said while putting my fist in the air but keeping my eyes closed. Orion laughed at that. “That's great, having a bunch of women working on cars might bring in more customers,” I said with a smile. He laughe

    Orion The parts I needed to fix my car came in. It’s a good thing I own a shop. The shop doesn’t specialize in body work, it’s just something I learned, filed in the just-in-case pile of things I know but don’t know when I’ll ever use it category in the back of my mind. It wasn’t a difficult job, but it kept me busy. “Hey boss, you need help,” Marcus said as he walked up to me. “What is there no work,” I said lightly. As if I didn’t know the flow of work each day. “Haha, there is but since we got a new hire, I’m just overseeing how it goes,” Marcus responded. “Ah, gotcha. How’s it going,” I asked. “Can actually change a tire,” Marcus started to say, but another voice interrupted, “everybody should know how to change a tire.” We looked towards the voice and we both said, “true story.” Marcus then asked, “you need something.” “Well, I’m finished with the oil change. You want to check my work,” the new hire said. Bethany Carlson was the new hire. When I interviewed he

    “It looks like we both don’t have an appetite,” I said. “Hmm,” Crown responded back to me. “Stop stalling,” I said perturbed. Crown breathed in and out deeply. “Marcus was in prison for killing his sister,” he said in a low voice. “I gathered that much on my own,” I replied dryly. “He was prett

    Crown When I left Orion and Lara, I drove straight to my house. Before I could twist the knob, the door flew open. “Dude, did you get laid last night,” was the question that came flying my way from a voice that needed to mind his own business. However, said voice, didn’t stop there but follo

    Lara “I’m so glad this night is over,” Dani said from behind me. Dani, Maria, Shan, Nelly, and I were in the elevator itching to leave this place. Our shift is over, and we want to get out of here. Tonight, was weird like there was a full moon. I mean, it’s like all the crazies came out toni

    Mr. Green When I arrived at the restaurant, I walked directly to the private room where Taryn was waiting. The hostess saw me approaching and went to open the door for me. “Would you like to order anything,” she said as I entered the room. “No,” I replied. There are 3 main hostess that work
