"What do you mean you killed her?" I moved away from him and covered my bare chest with my hands, feeling goosebumps all over my body. I grabbed a shirt I had hanging on a chair near me, and put it on. Boo took forever to answer and my heart was in my mouth. I was about to ask again when he said "It happened five years ago. We lost Tyler, our son. Daisy, she was different after what happened. For two months I gave her the space I thought she wanted but I was wrong. The one thing that kills me is, how could I not have known what depression looked like? I should have stayed home that day. Should've stayed with her. How could I not have known how she felt?" Boo rocked himself back and forth, his arms hugging

Let the fun begin (5 seconds of it, anyway) April 12, 2009 Lucille It was already 2am when I kissed Boo goodnight. I had been tossing and turning on my bed for almost an hour and my eyes were still wide awake. I couldn’t stop thinking about what he confessed and I didn't know why, but I had the urge to help him to finally get rid of his guilt and let the past go. I got my phone out of my suitcase and turned it on. I bet Go*gle would know how to answer my questions. I typed in How to, when my phone rang. It was Jasper. I wanted to talk to him and tell him all about my trip, but I wasn't sure about how to do it, so I let the call go to voicemail. "Hey, Lu. How are you doing? I hope everything is great with

Back to Reality April 15, 2009 Boo At 36,000 feet in the air, I sat beside Lucille with my eyes closed. It was nearly morning and her head was resting on my shoulder. My neck was sore, but I dared not move for fear of waking her up. For the last three days, we did nothing but enjoy the rest of Barbados and have sex. I paid Lucille more than I owed, but I still shudder at the thought of our first time. She kept teasing me that five seconds must be a world record on how fast you can make a man cum. After my first epic fail, I made her tell me all her sexual fantasies and we did all of them. The best one being her desire to try and have sex in a public place. She whispered it to me when we went dancing

Surprises April 15, 2009 Lucille "Welcome home, Lu!" Everyone chorused. "Surprise!" Dr. Raymond's voice was the last to be heard and we all looked at him amused. To my surprise, Jade kissed him on the lips. I stood on the doorway of NY Bistro with a wide smile and a pounding heart. Jasper was in the middle of the cozy restaurant holding a bouquet of red roses. Steph gave me a light push and I moved toward Jasper who looked super hot in his navy blue suit that matched his eyes. Colbie Caillat’s Fallin’ for You was playing in the background. "Hi. What is all this?" I said and

Believe me, Trust me April 15, 2009 Lucille "IT'S MINE!" Boo and Jasper said at the exact same time. I felt my cheeks burn as Dr. Steward's eyes widened and stared at me in disbelief. "I'm not pregnant. I'm on the pills, okay? And I'm careful. I just. I fainted because I cannot believe out of all the men in this city, the two of you had to be cousins and then you started killing each other. And oh yeah you had to love the same girl before too. This is just my karma for thinking I could try to.. to.. to be the playgirl for a change. Be a witchy woman! Ha! What's really funny is I thought I could manage it. Being indifferent and not minding my heart. But it turns out I have a conscience and I was gonna tell you tonight, Boo that I wa

April 22, 2009 Jasper I laid the white roses on her grave. The weather seemed to reflect my feelings as rain clouds suddenly covered the sun and thunder roared after a flash of lightning shot across the sky. “Hi, Dais. So, um, I met a girl. Her name's Lucille. She’s beautiful, smart, kind and funny. Well to tell you the truth she’s just like you. I miss you so much, you know that? Um, I’m..I’m really sorry I couldn’t help you before. For not noticing that you were suffering. I’ve hated myself for it. Lucille tells me I should let go of my anger and guilt and shame. And I'm trying, Dais. She makes me want to live life again and to let myself be loved. I’m so in love with her.” The drople

Where are you? April 22, 2009 Boo I couldn't shake off the disappointment in Lucille's face when I told her I needed to leave her at the party for a while. I wanted to tell her I was going to the police station, but I didn't want to worry her. Instead, I promised her I'd be back in a flash, but I knew she didn't believe me. I'll make it up to you, Lu. I promise. This whole frank embezzlement crisis will be over soon and then I can focus on you. It was already 7pm and while waiting for the light to turn green, I decided to call her, worried some other drunk playboy billionaire might be hitting on her at grandfather’s party. "Lu? Are

R.E.S.P.E.C.T April 22, 2009 Lucille I was dying to kiss him. Looking into his eyes, a part of me wanted to give in, while the other part of me, who was holding on to the trauma of being cheated on, kept blowing the "you're being a sluty idiot again" whistle. With our lips only inches apart, I closed my eyes and moved my head forward, surrendering to the pleasure I knew our kiss would bring. But my eyes flew wide open when my lips smacked on his palm as Jasper pushed my face away with his big hand shouting, "No. No. No. No, Lu. I won't allow you to use my body for sex again." "What?!" I glared at him, moving back to the other side of the couch.

Not Again. April 23, 2009 Boo "I DON'T CARE WHAT IT TAKES OR HOW MUCH! FIND THEM!" I said, my voice raised from frustration. It was midnight but I called three of my private investigators and Janice to my office. It's been almost six hours since I got the threatening message, but Lucille's phone is still out of coverage. Shivers ran down my spine every time it crossed my mind that she could be in danger. I even worried about Jasper being dragged in all of this. Detective Mayers said he was going to do his best, but I couldn’t sit around and do nothing because my panic attacks would go out of control. I shook my head forcing the image of Daisy’s ghost out of my mind. "Sir. I think I've got something. Jasper used his credit card at JFK for two tickets to
