MasukLara So, I’m still totally freaking out right now. Am I really going to be in a relationship with both of them? It’s been a few weeks since Crown and I were together. Well, not together together, but enough to enjoy the feelings our touches were making us feel. I don’t exactly know how to feel about it. I mean, I crossed the lines, and it feels weird. I’ve been avoiding them. Well, as much as I can avoid two men trying to take care of me. “Ok, I’ve been very patient with you,” Shan asked me as we were walking to our cars after our shift. “What do you mean,” I asked her. “Well, you seem different or maybe something’s on your mind, but I can’t really say what,” she said. I shrugged my shoulders. “Is everything ok at home,” she asked me. “Yes, it’s ok,” I replied. Please, please, please just drop it, I thought. “If you need to talk, I’m here. I won’t judge much,” she said chuckling. I laughed at her. “Well, we are both off tonight, you want to do something,” she as
JohannaI can hear people talking around me, but I’m stuck in my body. I can’t move. I can’t talk. I can’t do anything. That incessant beeping is driving me crazy. Where the hell am I? What happened to me? Think Hanna, think. Ok, I met with… Who did I meet up with? Hmm, I thought through the events that happened. There was a guy. I had to meet a guy because… Oh, think, think. Gregory, or Greg. Yes, I had to meet up with Greg. Why did I have to meet up with him? Uh. I was getting angry at my memory. I could hear people talking around me, but I couldn’t move or talk to them! Visions of people laughing and talking and dancing kept playing in my mind. There was a couple memories coming to mind. “We are totally banking it,” a girl’s voice said in my memory. “Yeup, easy money,” another voice said. I think it was another girl. “Stop talking about it, someone might overhear you,” another voice said. It was my voice, or I think it was my voice. Argh, I can’t remember. “
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
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
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
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
Crown As I was driving to my place, my thoughts were thinking about all the weird stuff that has been happening. Who’s the target? It could be Orion. He lives here and all the coincidences surround him. But then, they could be using him to get to me. Then, there’s Lara. She is a bit mysterious
Orion "There was an accident at the shop. I gotta go check it out. Baby, I'll call you later," I said to Lara. I kissed her goodbye, and had her walk me to the door to lock up. When I got into my car, guilt came over me. This situation with Hana has gotten out of hand, I thought. What does she think
Lara Work was work. I'm not the new person anymore. So, my co-workers in and out of the lab, don't pay much attention to me. “Hey, Lara,” I heard from behind me. Rounds was about finished, and I was walking down the hall towards the front of lab. “Hey,” I replied as I turned around. “So, I di
Orion This day seems to be getting longer and longer, with more problems. Are these all coincidences? My phone notified me Crown arrived at Lara’s. At least now, I can calm down and let Crown take care of Lara. I trust Crown 100%. And since there were still a few things I needed to do before I could
