As soon as these words were out of his mouth, he immediately regretted it when he turned to see her even more defeated expression."Sorry, Short Legs, I didn't mean it..."Fanny shook her head."It's okay. Anyway, love is far from what's happening between us." She mumbled a little in the end, not really annoyed with Andy.She knows he doesn't mean any harm by not communicating every detail of Michel's life to her, and honestly, she can understand why he thinks so about his mafia brother.The two said nothing for a minute before Andy pulled out a pack of cigarettes, holding one out to her as a peace offer.Fanny shook her head again, this time politely refusing."So what's really going on between you two?" He asked while sticking a cigarette between his lips, and lighting it up.She sighed deeply before answering."Honestly, I have no clue..." She imitated him and picked up a few pebbles and threw them into the pond."I have a feeling for him but it's all so messy, you know?"Andy nodd
Whenever she feels low, her friends are always there to listen and help her.What should she do now?This angers Michel...And on top of that, he had a fiancée.A fiancee.She hated to admit it to herself, but Fanny found herself wondering about the girl.Farrah. She is very beautiful. And charming. Experienced. Just like Gwen and Audrey.Maybe Andy was right.Maybe she should avoid Michel from now on.The house was big enough, and even though her room was directly across from him, she could barely manage to face him during breakfast and dinner.And even then, she doesn't necessarily need to talk to him.The only thing that can get a little difficult is physical therapy.But she couldn't understand why Christian couldn't help Michel if she offered to do something else instead.Yes, she will start avoiding him from now on. No matter how hard it will be for her.This will be for her own good.---"Michel. Can you pay attention for a moment?" Carlos nudged him on the shoulder as they wer
Since then, Audrey has insisted on doing her hair and makeup, momentarily just adding finishing touches."Now...we need a nice outfit. I mean you're already wearing what I've put in your closet, but I think you need something more tonight."Audrey suddenly dropped the mascara tube on her dressing table to quickly turn around and disappear somewhere in an interconnected room."Audrey?" Fanny rose from her seat at the dressing table and followed the girl into a large walk-in closet to find Audrey in her evening gown."How about this one?" Audrey held up a revealing off-the-shoulder black dress with a dark red chain.Fanny's eyes widened and she shook her head immediately."No... Audrey... I... I can't wear something like that...""Why not?" Audrey tilted her head to the side, looking confused as if she really couldn't understand why Fanny couldn't see her in something as fancy as this dress.Struggling at a loss for words, Fanny tries to explain her stance, hoping that she won't come ac
Sighing to herself, Fanny reached out to open the door, when he suddenly stopped her, grabbing her arm so she wouldn't open the door.When she let go of him, more out of shock than from anything else, then he lifted his free hand, thumb tracing her lower lip, his breathing heavy.She was about to ask him what he was doing here when he spoke first."Why do you wear lipstick... and this dress... you put on makeup. You never wear makeup, do you?"Fanny's heart pounded.Talking to her in that deep voice while he keeps touching her like that, what should she do?Immediately, she remembered what she had promised herself.Fanny had intended to avoid him, and so far, she has successfully done so.Michel is not good for her.With all the determination she could muster, Fanny walked away, leaving the hand she had just placed in the air while his face showed shock.She rejected him. And he has never been denied anything."Good night, Michel." She mumbled, trying to find the door again.But he di
She wanted to say something, but she really didn't know what."Michel, I..."He shook his head, which immediately brought her to a halt because the look on his face showed that he was still confused about the whole situation.So instead of talking about what just happened, he just gently placed a hand on her small back and led her toward one of his couches, making her sit down and do the same thing right next to her.They sat across from each other, saying nothing for a moment as Michel just took her little hand in his, stroking his thumb over her knuckles.When she looked up at him and he looked at her too, they ended up just leaning in, joining their lips once more, melting into the kiss.They don't want to face reality yet.Michel is particularly reluctant to discuss what all this means to him, how this will affect his life, and, of course, hers.And so is Fanny.At that moment, she refused to let anything take over the feeling that his lips on hers were bringing her happiness.Her
"Fanny..." His voice trailed off but his eyes were still hot on hers as his fingers stroked her slowly, back and forth, moving down just enough for him to touch the top of her. her chest.Her breath got stuck in her lungs.She waits for him to move on and when he doesn't, she can't take it anymore."What?" she asked, her voice barely audible."The kiss just now..." Michel said slowly."And what about it?" She tried to ask."Is it your first time?" The look in his eyes intensifies, dilates them, and makes them a deeper brown.Crazy emotions flashed through Fanny at his question.She almost feels something that is almost shameful or humiliating, but those feelings won't quite take shape because of the sparkle she sees in Michel's eyes, the earnest expression on her face. he told her that he wouldn't be upset if his hypothesis was proven correct."Yes." She answered him simply.Fingers moved up her hair and tightened on her scalp."So, did you have my first kiss?"She swallowed."Other t
And what's even more amazing is that she just doesn't seem to understand it.He put his hand on her shoulder."Let's not worry about it right now. Just understand that this is a one-time thing."Michel doesn't miss her grimace of disappointment and it soothes him, even a little, to know she wants to be with him, too."But we have tonight, and right now there's something that I need to do."Fanny's insides became loose as Michel's eyes grew hot and fell to her lips."What would that be?" She managed, barely getting her chords to work.His hand lifted her face and held her tight."You need to kiss me so hard and so long that if someone dares to touch you... All you can think about is..."Michel's head bowed and Fanny closed her eyes as her whole world focused on him.A thousand butterflies flew in her stomach as his kiss swallowed her.He didn't start slow, and this time he didn't try to ease her into the kiss.His lips forced her open, his tongue thrusting in and taking over her mouth
"I'm no second-in-command, Short Legs. I'm nobody. Not even a member of the real Black Roses. I'm a rookie.""But they don't treat you differently at all.""My family considers me a full-fledged Black Roses gang member, but her father? Guest chief?" Andy shook his head while making a grimace on his face."He'll kill her..."Fanny pulled her knees towards her chest and rested her chin on them while she remained silent.She feels so bad for Andy but simply doesn't know how to comfort him.However, before she could think of anything to say, he decided to change the subject."Enough about me for now. So, you and Michel? What happened?"Fanny gulped as she bit her lower lip.She thought about keeping quiet, but she knew that the blush on her face would say it all."We kiss." She confessed.As if in slow motion, Andy turned to look at her as if he'd just seen a ghost and then carefully sat up, his eyes never leaving hers as he tried to pull himself together."Sorry?"Fanny blushed more and
