Exhausted, I recklessly let my body fall on the soft mattress of my bed.
I just got home in my penthouse, and I'm feeling a little dizzy because of the tequila I had earlier. I didn't have the opportunity to say goodbye to my parents before leaving. Trudy sent me home, and now I have nothing else left to do.
Sleep, maybe.
I stay in my bed for a while. I closed my eyes, and was about to fall asleep. But then my phone starts to vibrate as the ringtone fills my ears.
Who the hell is calling now in such a late night?
“Damn it.” I grunted before taking my phone from my pouch and answering the call without looking who it is.
“Hello?” I sound mean more than I intended to be.
“Whoah, feisty. Please be easy on me, flower. I just missed you.”
Oh, hell. Him again. I ghosted his ass a month ago. Why is he still trying? I thought I made it clear to him that I don't want a fling or a hookup anymore.
“Vincent,” I heavily sigh. “Didn't I tell you not to reach out again? Do you want me to make it clear again?” It has only been seconds since I heard his voice yet he's already making my blood boil. He's already getting into my nerves, and I hate it so much when a male species is so hard-headed to the point that he keeps on coming back to me.
“Why are you so mean to me, flower?” I almost gagged because of his sweet voice over the phone. He's still indeed trying to have me back. But I've had enough of games and I've had enough of his perfect face.
Yeah, right. He's handsome and all; he's a supermodel and tall, but I don't want him. For me, he's just a man I met in a fashion event at Milan. He's just a man I had fun with for a couple of months.
“Let me guess why you called.” I grin and bite my lower lip as if Vincent is in front of me. “Go ahead. Why do you think I called?” He sounds like he's challenging me. He sounds like he's overconfident that I will never guess it right. “Because you couldn't find a hoe out there that feels better than me.” He goes silent over the phone for a moment. And then later, he cusses himself—proving that I'm right.
“Goddamn right, flower.”
Am I the only woman on this planet that cringe over men who love to use countless endearments? I don't have a reason why, but it's one of the things that turns me off big time.
“But what are you going to do now? I don't want to open up and let you in my life again. You can't have me anymore. How are you going to deal with it, Vincent?”
This is the problem my flings get whenever I decide to drop them and act like I never let myself be entertained by them. But to be honest, without them, my life would be so boring and I bet I'm still in the grave mourning just like what Uncle Naveen said earlier.
“Can't I just have one last night with you, Aurella?”
Oh, there goes my name. I love it when he says my name.
That's it, Vincent.
“I really missed you. I tried finding me some gorgeous hoes, but they're not enough. Women are in line for me, Aurella. But I only want you. I miss screwing you.”
Sometimes, I wonder why women are made with so much desire for men. I know men and women are made for each other. But can't women just be content with not having a man in her life? Why do we have to struggle dealing with these needs?
I need and want satisfaction from a man.
“I'm actually in your building right now, Aurella. I saw you come home late. Where were you? Club? Bar? Did you spend a night alone?”
I should be alarmed the moment that he said he's in my building right now. This man is possibly stalking me and that makes me see him as a creep. But then I realized that he's one of the models that a famous brand here in Chicago requested to have for a fashion event happening next week. So, maybe I'm wrong. He happens to be staying in the best hotel in Chicago too. And oh, I am also requested, but I need to find the energy first to attend that event.
“Alright. Come over, Vincent. One last night.”
“You won't regret it.” I know that he's grinning right now, and I can bet my whole life just to justify that I'm right.
I don't know what's happening in my head. But having Vincent for one last night is a good idea according to the back of my mind. And I also feel needy and in want of attention. Vincent did a very good job for himself.
After a few moments, I heard my doorbell rang and that alerted my system.
He's here, and I know that the moment I open the door, he's going to crash his lips against mine and start to give me exactly what I want.
I know I am going to regret this tomorrow. I just know.
While I walk to the door, I fix my dress and make sure that I look decent and hot even though I'm a little dizzy.
Or tipsy? I don't know.
I count one to three before opening the door to ready myself. And when I did, I was right.
His arms immediately wrap around my waist as his lips find their way on mine. My normal self will deny and push away the thought of me missing the way Vincent makes out with me. But right now, that thought rushes all the way up to my head as he bites my lower lip and sucks my tongue.
Oh, I miss this.
Vincent suddenly separates himself from me and then he shuts the door close. He makes sure it's locked before he looks at me again.
“Hi there.”
He definitely looks like a Greek god brought to life. Blessed with a long nose, perfectly shaped lips, and chartreuse eyes. And oh, that well-built body. That body that most women in the modeling industry want to have a taste.
“Do you want to have a drink first before we proceed on doing unholy things?” I reach for my back to unzip the dress that I'm wearing. And while doing it, I watch his eyes patiently watching every move I make. He's waiting for my dress to drop on the floor. “I don't want any drinks. I'm just here for you.” He smiles at the exact moment my dress lands on the floor.
“Ohh, no.” His breathing goes heavy and his eyes seem to be loving the view in front of him. He's not blinking. Hell, not even once. “Definitely not having any drink.” Vincent chuckles and gathers me in his arms without any hesitations. He then carries me all the way to my bedroom and my feminity feels all the excitement that he's giving me.
“I feel so needy,” It was almost a whisper, but he heard it clearly.
“Then let me give you what you want.” He settles me on my bed to start stripping off all of his clothes. My eyes feast on his heavenly body that he's willing to offer to his goddess. And when the last cloth he's wearing reaches the floor, my lips part on the sight of his shaft on its peak.
“Want him?” Vincent is obviously the one who's in control now. I can no longer fight the strong urge to push him away and cage the little slutty bitch inside me. “I do.” I nod at him as he starts to settle himself on top of me. My legs automatically wrap around his hips and he took that as a sign to take my panties off. His other hand lands on my chest and he starts to work his magic on me. He plays with my pinkish and sensitive beads as a soft moan escapes my lips. I just love it when a man knows exactly how I wanted it to be. I love it when I don't need to tell him where to touch and how to touch.
“Ooh, they fit perfectly in my hands.” Vincent continues to pleasure me on my chest. Both of his hands are now busy massaging my breasts while I'm busy arching my back in response. “Oh, Vincent.” After he's satisfied with playing with my chest, his focus drifts to my feminity and he starts to rub my clit to stimulate it more.
“So how is it going to be now? What’s your next step?”Vincent wraps his naked body with a robe, not caring if he’s wearing it properly or not.“Next step?” I ask back. I know that he’s asking about what I’m going to do to get back at Bryce.But as of now, I can admit to myself that I’d rather let my anger burn my insides than challenge Bryce for what he’s done to me.I can admit that this time, I don’t know what to do.I pull the sheets up to my shoulder to fully cover my body too.Vincent and I just agreed to not talk about Bryce and just fuck inside his room. I think it’s much more better than stressing on things that are not in my control.And besides, this is the last time that we’re doing this. We agreed on finally stopping since we both know that Bryce can use this against us.I know that sooner or later, he will be that desperate to use everything against me.Anything just to send me to hell, and to witness my downfall.“You’re not giving up, are you?” Vincent sits on the edge
“He did what?!”As I step out of the elevator, Vincent follows every step I take while he continues to absorb the information that I have given him.We’re currently exiting the building of my penthouse, and Vincent here just arrived moments ago.According to him, he rushed all the way here after Bryce sent him a message that I might need Vincent’s help.And of course the text left him wondering because he had never mentioned my name to Bryce and everything that’s in between us.Well that’s according to him though. But according to my guts? I shouldn’t believe Vincent even though he told me the truth about the love triangle of Lucas, Dahna, and Isequel.“Do I have to repeat myself again and again, Vincent? I think I clearly told you that your friend just kicked me out.”Irritation is starting to bubble inside me. I get irritated many times regarding different things, but when it comes to Vincent, it’s just different.The kind of different that makes me want to wrap my arm around his ne
After I watch Lucas checked in the nearest hotel, I drive myself home as the clock strikes at 2 o’clock in the morning.I know that my intention was to celebrate in that bar, but instead, it ended up being the last straw that I’ve given myself to finally move on.If I still can’t get over him after a few weeks or months, I’ll willingly label him as the greatest shame of my life.Oh well. As if I’m not yet immune by scrutiny. My life is filled with it. Whether from people I don’t know, or people that I call ‘family’.As I turn on the lights, I dramatically fall on my knees and shriek as loud as I could.“Ah!!!” My heart beating so fast while looking at the person comfortably sitting on the couch.“Jesus Christ!” He rants; his eyes squinting because of the bright lights that I’ve just turned on.“WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE?!” I loudly question his existence in my living room.How did he get inside?“Calm down, will you?” He smirks; expression clearly influenced by alcohol that he p
“Of course he wouldn’t dare. He knows I’ll do anything to protect Aurella from him.”In a blink of an eye, Lucas’ puzzled face in confusion changes into the bold aura of confidence.“He knows how serious I am. Especially when it’s about my wife.” He arrogantly smirks before stealing a bottle of whiskey from the bucket placed above the table.I immediately knew what he’s trying to do. I can read between the lines, and it’s not hard to comprehend that he’s trying to make Dahna think that she’s right.That we indeed got married, and that he never left me in the altar wearing my white gown stained with shame and regrets.Isequel secretly eyes me with both of his eyebrows slightly arched. He’s also quick to pick up the pretending that Lucas has started. And with the look he’s giving me, I bet he’s accusing me of being the one behind all of it.“Wife?” Isequel tempts to clarify if what he heard was right.“Yes,” Lucas answers with so much certainty. “Wife. She’s my wife.” He turns to me; ey
“There you are! I’ve been looking for you. What took you so long?”Both Dahna and I turn to the man that took both of our attention.And my heart almost jumped out of its cage when my eyes center on Isequel.He quickly kisses Dahna’s temple, and girlie here softly giggles as I watch her mood switch from being friendly to being lovey dovey.Are my eyes deceiving me right now?Dahna? And Isequel? They’re a thing?So… Vincent wasn’t lying to me afterall.He had once again had proven his loyalty.But still, it isn’t enough for me. I know that he can still switch to the other side and choose to betray me.Anytime is the time that a traitor could struck at me. And I wouldn’t let that happen. Let him be loyal; let him be my pet.I simply take another sip on my pina colada, but then Isequel decides to give me a hint of his attention.“Oh, Aurella. Wow, I never thought I’d see you hanging out with Dahna one day.”I almost choke on my drink.Mister, I wasn’t hanging out with your girl. She sud
"Can you stay with me until midnight?"With disbelief reigning all over my body, I stare at Lucas and watch him shrug off the fact that he just kissed me.He shrugged it off as if it meant nothing to me."Come sit here with me." His hand gently pulls me by my wrist, and he guides me to a table where no one else is occupying.All I can see are empty bottles of whiskey and some cigarettes that are halfway finished."You smoke now?" It's not a surprise to me anymore since some of his old friends before had told me about his desire to use cigarettes as his stress reliever. But I still can't bring myself not to ask.He sits down as he pulls me to sit beside him. "I'm trying to distract myself from reality these days. But unfortunately, I really can't. I can't even finish a stick."Wow. Trying to distract himself from reality? How heavy is his baggage? And how is he not capable of finishing a stick? I suppose two half finished sticks can be counted as one, right?"Alright, if you say so." I'
