Andre

I was relaxing in my hotel room when I got the call.

Actually, I was deep into a conversation with Lionel when an unknown number flashed across the screen.

I ignored it, staring at my laptop screen.

Lionel had insisted we Skype.

“Have you given her the offer yet?” He probed, staring at me from his glasses. “I don't need to remind you, the faster we get this solved, the quicker we can return to our lives.”

I nodded, not listening to a bit of what he was saying.

How can I tell him that the same woman we agreed to pay off is Brittney?

With the current state of things between us, if I tried to buy her off or offer the cheque to her, I'm afraid she might spit in my face.

Fuck.

“Andre, are you listening to me?” His tone had turned sharp, pulling me back to reality.

“Yeah, yeah…” I sighed, scrubbing a hand over my face as I lied through my teeth. “As soon as I see her, I'll do what we agreed.”

Lionel had initially wanted to show up and browbeat her into submission to drop the case but

    AndreNothing is adding up.I've spent the remainder of the night poring over Brittney's old accounts to get some form of picture as to what was going on.The way she spoke about Samantha shows that she cares deeply for her so I expected her to be part of our life somehow.However, the old social media accounts that I could find dated back to five years ago and none had been updated since she left Florida.That was odd because Britney and Claire were almost similar and their shared love of fashion and the internet was one thing I remember acutely.So how come there are no pictures or recent accounts of hers?Could it be that she was hiding something?Or maybe, someone?I took an hour break to refill on my caffeine and chocolate bars before I sat down again in front of the computer.By the time the tenth pop-up search that I did failed, I threw my hands in the air in exasperation.I won't be able to uncover anything important… at least not by myself.Picking up my phone, I reached out

    BrittneyMy entire body froze for several seconds, which Claire took to be consent, and she leaned in, thrusting her tongue into my mouth.The act was so foreign and weird that I just… let her.It's hard to explain but I was torn between freaking out internally and pushing how violently away from me.It wasn't until her hands came up to touch my thighs and then my chest that I snapped out of whatever weird phase that I was in and jerked my head away.My eyes wide, I shrank back. “Claire, what the hell?!”She pulled back just enough to create a breathing space but her eyes reflected the same shock that I felt coursing through my veins. “Brit…Brittney…”Swiftly climbing to my feet, I resisted the urge to scrub my lips.While I was growing up, just like every teenager, I fantasized about girls as well as boys, but it only took one kiss from a boy in my class, and that fantasy dried up like water.Ever since then, I've never thought about girls or even sexually looked at them… not until t

    Brittney“Thanks for coming!” Claire beamed at me as she stood up to air kiss my cheeks.I returned the gesture, my smile more genuine than it was several days back when we started having lunch together.After the first time that we sat down in the cafe and she shared details about her life, the broken bond that existed between us began to solidify.Now, that easy camaraderie that once existed between us slowly began to resurface.“You know that I'm always going to have lunch with you, you don't need to be thanking me every time.” I teased as I sat down, placing my bag on the table.“Oh, I know, but each time I see you walk through the door, it's more or less like a gift.” As she talked, she waved the waiter over, picking out both our orders, and then sent him on his way. “So, um, I know you said you didn't want to talk about what the emergency was, but I took the time to gett you something because you seemed pretty worried that day.”I watched as she pulled out a smaller bag from bes

    Andre“So I learnt that you're in New York?” Leila cuts right to the chase as soon as the call connects.I nodded, rolling the pen in my hand as I pretended to pore over some documents.When my phone rang five minutes ago with a video call request from my wife, I had to think of something to cover up the fact that I was sleeping.So I pushed a couple of random papers together, flipped open my laptop, and ran my hands over my hair to give it a disheveled look.For all she knows, I'm just up here for business.“Yeah, I am.” I clipped out, scrawling something down.“And you didn't think to inform me?” Her words had a biting edge to them, which means that she's upset. “Or run it by me?”Understandably so.“I would have if it wasn't too important to be delayed. Once I'm done with this business, I'll head straight home.” I lied with a straight face.Leila puckered her lips, not believing a single word out of my mouth. “Do you have any idea when that's gonna be?”I shook my head, no.The fak

    BrittneyUnfortunately, no matter what type of advice Jane tried to offer, it didn't come close to the one I've been avoiding all night.Tell Andre the truth.For the whole day, that thought kept circulating until I finally compromised, choosing to tell him when I go back home.Thankfully, Samantha got discharged during the day and Jane offered to bring her home.By the time I got back exhausted and tired from the day's work, I found her sleeping peacefully in her bed, clutching Bunnies, a ratty teddy bear she's had since she was 3 years old.Brushing back her silky black hair, my eyes five over her features, noting not for the first time, similarities between her and Andre.She shared his vibrant blue eyes, his pouty full lips, and his complexion.She's also good with numbers and a people person, traits that she certainly didn't pick from me.Using the back of my hand to trail down her cheek, I wondered if I was doing the right thing.I mean, look at her…she's so peaceful and calm ri

    BrittneyThe feel of Andre's soft lips on mine awoken a deep sense of longing again in me, encouraging me to slip my tongue into his mouth, deepening the kiss.He groaned, the sound reverberating down my body, straight to the apex of my thighs.His hands came up to cup the side of my face that I remembered we were in public.Summoning the last shreds of willpower that I had, I pulled away panting, my lips swollen from his kisses.Andre's jaw was right and he reached beneath the table to adjust himself. “Sorry, I didn't mean to do that in public.” he rasped, licking his lips.“It's fine.” I waved it off licking my lips.I told my head to the side, discreetly glancing around be sure that no one had seen us practically devour each other's mouths.Thankfully, nobody really paid attention to us.Slapping my palms over my face, I remembered what happened before Andre chose to kiss me.Or why he did.Because he thought that I'm such a perfect and sweet soul.When the truth is, I'm quite far
