Camille:

Words could not describe how embarrassed I felt. The way Lucia kept looking down at me with disappointment only made matters worse.

What was my excuse? I wasn’t drunk. What then was my excuse for resting on her brother’s shoulder while he touched me, just a day after she had expressly warned me to steer clear of him.

I suddenly felt so dirty, even without having to look at her.

No wonder he didn’t take me seriously. Even after all the hurtful things he had said countlessly to me, I still managed to let myself be putty in his hands.

My food was halfway gone, but I no longer had an appetite for it. I placed it on the chair Daniel had vacated, before laying on the bed and covering myself with the duvet, just to protect myself from her silent but deadly glare.

She didn’t let me do that.

“What is the meaning of this?” She asked, lifting the top of the blanket away from my face.

“How did you get in?” I asked, avoiding her eyes.

What was it with locked doors today?

    Camille: “Where are you going?” Daniel asked me when I started to get up. “To see what’s happening out there…” He gave me a quizzical look. “What’s happening out there?” I sighed. “Your eyes are puffy. You need some rest.” I shook my head. “My mom…” “…will be fine. I spoke with her before I came here and told her you’d see her tomorrow. Think of yourself first. You’re in no condition to meet anyone. When you feel better by tomorrow you can spend as much time as you can with her, guilt free.” I nodded. It was probably for the best. Seeing my mom in that moment would only probably make me to cry some more and unpack some things from my past which I really wasn’t ready to deal with. Besides I felt sleepy. After having a shower and changing into my night dress, Daniel bade me goodbye. “What’s that supposed to mean?” I asked, fear coming over me all over again. “I don’t have a room any longer, remember,” he said as he covered me with the duvet on my bed

    Camille: “Did I say something wrong?” My mom asked with a note of apprehension in her voice. Just when I thought things couldn’t get any worse. How was I going to explain my way out of this one? Even if I did, there would always be some level of tension between my mom and Lucia. What perfect timing for my mom to finally meet her. “She hasn’t been too well,” I said the first thing that popped up in my head. My mom gave me a questioning look. “You mean she’s sick in the head?” She asked with a high pitched voice and her face angled to the side, like she wanted Lucia to hear everything she said. “Because it sure does seem like it.” Every chance I had at reconciling them flew out of the window. My mom was the sweetest woman I’d ever met and I didn’t say that just because she was my mom. She was sweet and looked unassuming, but she could be a beast if she didn’t like you. I was afraid of that happening. “That’s not what she meant,” Daniel said. His jaw was tense. No

    Camille: “Hey,” I said when I saw Lucia behind the door. She had a deep frown on her face and wouldn’t look at me, as if the very idea of seeing my face would send her over the edge. “My mom is here,” I said curtly. I moved away when she didn’t respond. I wished we hadn’t had that big fight just before my mom came around. I wished Lucia still had ward duty. I wished she would just suck it up and act cool knowing my mom was here. I wasn’t ready to answer my mom’s questions when she got curious. Daniel gave me a questioning look as I returned to the dining room. He rubbed my hand when I sat down beside him, assuring me that everything was okay. I wished I could believe him and stop fidgeting. My actions were only going to make my mom suspicious. Lucia came in about a minute later. The smile, or rather the grimace on her face made her seem like she had been punched and forced to smile through the pain. There was an awkward silence when she walked to the dining room and s

    Camille: Hearing him say that wasn’t sweet. It was… quite sad. I admitted I had been selfish in the past because I never saw things from his point of view. It had always been about my feelings; me being disgusted with myself and angry at him for tricking me into sleeping with him. There was always an argument, with me storming off afterwards. Before now, I hadn’t tried to imagine how all of that made him feel. How could the man who was supposed to be my boyfriend be thanking me for not bashing him and regretting my actions after sleeping with him? That was such a low bar. “Hey, hey,” he said when he noticed my face had fallen. He placed his both hands on my shoulders and peered into them with worry. “I didn’t say that to make you feel bad. You had every right to react the way you did in the past, babe. I’m just happy you trust me now.” “Ok,” I said into his chest with a muffled voice. “Cami…,” I jumped when I heard my mother call my name. Her voice sounded so c

    Camille: I swallowed and shut my eyes involuntarily. It was crazy how easily he turned me on. Daniel’s eyes went a step further from caressing the length of hands, to my shoulders and neck, then down to my chest. This time, his fingers tapped lightly, feathery on my skin. It almost felt like a spa session. From my chest, his hand slid down till it was navel level. He hesitated there, as though asking permission. I knew consent was really important, but sometimes I wondered why he bothered. My body always wanted him. I bucked my butt backward, hitting him. He had to know that was a yes. He cupped my butt with his free hand, taking me by surprise because I didn’t even realize his other hand had been there. I gasped and reflexively jerked forward, but his uncertain hand held me taut against him. “Easy there, girlfriend,” he whispered in my ear. His deep sultry voice sent a ripple down my body. Like that wasn’t enough, he lightly bit my earlobe before spreading kis

    Camille: I frowned and shook my head, deciding not to let such uneventful thoughts consume me. When we got to that bridge, we’d cross it. I decided to go grocery shopping just so I could get some foodstuffs to prepare my mom a fresh meal. I was sure she’d missed my cooking. Before long, we were home and with the way my mom was smiling even when she was on her own, I suspected she was already planning our wedding in her head. It was a funny sight, but I didn’t say anything to mock or interrupt her. I enjoyed seeing my mom happy. The door was locked when we got to the apartment. My heart sank when I realized Lucia had simply left because she knew my mom was coming. I couldn’t blame her. Not everyone could keep up appearances. But it hurt nonetheless. At least on the bright side, I wouldn’t have to walk on eggshells on my mom’s first day here. Nothing flew past her, and I wasn’t ready to answer uncomfortable questions yet. Daniel took my mom’s luggage into his room that h
