Lucas didn’t answer right away.

The silence stretched just a little too long, and that was all it took for the knot in my stomach to tighten. Lucas wasn’t good at hiding things. If he hesitated, it meant he was trying to figure out how to tell me something I’d hate.

Before I could press him, he clapped his hands together with an overly bright smile that looked stitched onto his face.

“Okay!” he announced. “Before we get into… all that…” He waved vaguely through the air. “I think we sh

  • My Enemy [BL]   028: What the hell?

    ELLISI smirked and pulled a protein shake from the fridge and eyed it suspiciously for a moment before calling toward the bedroom, "Ohh, what’s this?"The apartment was quiet except for the faint scratch of Julian’s pen against paper and the low sound of the fridge. Late afternoon sunlight streamed gently through the big windows of Pinnacle Hall, warming the marble countertops and polished floors in a soft golden light that made the space look ridiculously luxurious, because it was.Everything in this place seemed like it was chosen by someone with endless cash and a personal mission to make everyone else feel underdressed just by standing in it.Honestly, even after being here for over a week, I still wasn’t used to it. I half-expected someone to walk in, look me over, and politely but firmly ask what I was doing there and if I needed directions to somewhere more fitting.I turned the bottle over in my hands, inspecting it like someone examining potential evidence. It was one of tho

  • My Enemy [BL]   027: Just saying...

    ELLISI gotta ask though, who could be this quiet?Especially someone who was alive and kicking and sharing the same space as another human being. There should be signs of life: a cough, a sigh, a ping from a phone. Anything, really.But especially not Julian.He moved around like a ghost in a fancy apartment, floating through the space without disrupting a thing, leaving no sign of his presence except for the occasional page turn and this nagging feeling that he was always aware of what I was doing, judging it from a distance.Every morning, he woke up at the same time, a fact I’d come to know because I’d started to involuntarily track it in my sleep, like an unwanted alarm going off. Every little movement of his was precise and annoyingly organized—every item returned to its rightful spot, every surface left untouched.It was like he was prepping the apartment for a magazine shoot and didn’t want to leave anything out of place. At night, he’d sit at his desk for hours, buried in hef

  • My Enemy [BL]   026: Letting it echo II

    ELLISI flung open the fridge with more flair than necessary, the seal popping as I peered inside like I was surveying a very important landscape."Wow," I announced dramatically to the room, channeling a nature documentary voice, "I’m opening the fridge now. Just going to stand here and look at things. Very publicly. In our shared kitchen."No answer from across the room.I grabbed a bottle of water, holding it up like I was inspecting a rare artifact."Wow I sure hope no one stops me when I start messing with stuff that isn’t mine," I added cheerfully, unscrewing the cap. "Living on the edge over here!"Page flip.I leaned against the fridge door, embracing the idea that this was my kitchen too, actually, and I would act like it."Oh look," I continued, gesturing vaguely to myself with the water bottle. "I’m also breathing very loud. Is that in the rules? Should I check? I feel like I should check. Don’t want to find out there’s a breathing amendment I missed."Nothing. Absolutely n

    ELLISHe flipped another page."Honestly, that would explain the personality," I noted thoughtfully.Nothing. Not even a twitch, damn I might as well have been talking to the wall. I stared at him a moment longer, genuinely astounded, before letting out a soft snort."You know what your issue is?" I asked, as if I had been invited to share.Still nothing, which I took as a green light."You’ve got that whole mysterious cold guy persona," I gestured vaguely in his direction. "The silence, the sharp jawline and the total lack of warmth. Very curated. I respect the consistency, but I think it’s a terrible idea."That got the tiniest pause.Just a fraction of a second where the page didn’t flip when it probably should have. But I caught it, because I’d been watching him like a hawk.Yeah! Victory. Small, but it was better than nothing. I pointed at him like I was having a breakthrough in court."See? Exactly that, that pause. Some guys think being emotionally unavailable makes them attrac

  • My Enemy [BL]   024: Just maybe...

    I shot upright so fast I almost fell off the couch altogether, my hand flying to my chest as my heart raced, my eyes wide open.Julian.He appeared out of nowhere like some sort of ghost, standing a few feet away like a very expensive, very unimpressed ghost who had decided this was the moment to reveal himself.He looked unfazed. No surprise, no apology for scaring the shit out of me. Just that same expression of curiosity.Which was new.If I’m being honest, it was more unsettling than his usual indifference, because that was something I knew how to catalog and file away. This? This was an expression I didn’t have a category for yet."You’ll ruin your back if you sleep here," he said, tilting his head slightly, scanning me like he was assessing a situation rather than a person, running an internal calculation I wasn’t part of.I blinked at him, once.Then again, more slowly, because I needed a moment to process that he had just said something that wasn’t a rule, a correction, or a o

  • My Enemy [BL]   023: Missing interaction... but in general

    ELLISA few days drifted by, and if you had asked me to describe them, I honestly wouldn’t have much beyond saying I was still alive, functioning, and somehow cohabitating with someone who had perfected the art of pretending I didn’t exist. To be fair, that was a skill I never thought I’d need to tolerate, but life had a way of surprising me.It wasn’t dramatic.And that was truly the worst part.There were no fights, no confrontations, no explosive moments I could point to and say, this is the reason I can’t stand living here, here’s my proof. Instead, it was just... quiet. Controlled. It felt consistent in a manufactured kind of way, as if someone had carefully crafted a method for two people to coexist without interacting, and then executed it without any warning.But there were times where I’d catch him staring at me, intensely...as if he was trying to unravel me with those icy blue hues of his.Julian woke up early, left early, returned at his usual hours, and fell into his routi
