"We're here," the young man announced when we got inside. "Welcome to my office.""Are you sure it's okay for me to be in your office while you work? I might just be a nuisance?"It was also a bit dark around the office. Only his working table has a bright light. And it's not just his door made of glass. The wall is also made of it so I can see the people outside his office and the view of the city."Yeah. You could just sit there...." he pointed to the long couch. "....And watch anything you like. I'll let you borrow my Ipad. You don't have to do anything in your condo either. Might as well stay here. You can have someone else with you." The young man came to the table and took the Ipad from the drawer and handed it to me. "Here!"I accepted it with a smile. "Okay, thanks.""Enjoy yourself. I'll get back to work now," he promised.I quietly walked over to the couch and sat there. I took off my blazer. Vish also started working. I opened his Ipad and Vish's tuxedoed and handsome face
"We both knew there's nothing wrong with what we're doing. We're also not stepping on anyone. I never became a married man and you're single as well. Let's just let them think whatever they want if ever they find out. I'm pretty sure they won't though. It was only you and me who knew what happened during our wild nights together. Nobody will know. This will be our kinky little secrets...." he reached my face so I could lift my gaze and make our faces equal. "....You are my kinky little secret," he then kissed my lips. His voice is so gentle and sweet.I smiled slightly at him when he parted our lips. "Is there an end between us?" I dare to ask.I don't know where those questions come from. They just come into my mind and come out of my mouth.Is there an end between us? Why am I afraid of what he will answer? My heart was pounding. Is there an end? What if there is? Why am I afraid that it might possibly happen?What am I feeling this way?He was caught off guard for a second because
I felt a relief when he answered that."Fatima?""Ev, help me, please! I need you! Help me!" I begged him sobbing."Where are you?" I heard the concern in his voice."I don't know! Please! Help me! Please! He's here! Please!" I can't rest anymore. I am panting and I am having trouble breathing."Turn on your location. I will be there," he then immediately ended the call.My hand was shaking as I followed what Ev said.Then I stood on one side and hugged myself.I looked around while praying that Ev would come very soon.Just over five minutes later, I immediately saw Ev. He was still wearing his doctor's robe.I immediately ran to him and hugged him tightly. Then I started sobbing loudly.He hugged me back and rubbed my back. "It's fine. It's going to be fine," he said.The next thing I knew, I lost my consciousness and fell on my knees.EVROUS' P.O.V"Fatima! Stop it!" I shouted at her while I was trying to snatch the fork she was holding from her hand that I don't know where she got
"Yeah, yeah. I can. I'll pick you up. I'll be there in ten minutes. I'll hang up now." He then ended the call.I smiled and sat on one side and waited for Vish to come.It seems that his mood changes quickly after talking to me. He didn't ask me about what happened earlier.But after a few moments, I quickly leaned against the wall closest to me due to a sudden stomach ache. I held my stomach.I choked and wrinkled my face when the pain suddenly intensified. My face can hardly be painted."Ahhh!!" I scream in too much pain.It feels like something is squeezing or tearing inside my stomach.Suddenly I was sweating profusely. It really hurts.I inhaled and exhaled air and I did it again and again.I stayed in my position for a few minutes and waited for the pain to go away.When the pain subsided, I stood up straight and used the hem of my blazer to wipe the sweat from my face.I faced the road. I immediately spotted the familiar car and followed it with my eyes.It stopped right in fro
I drooled while staring at the food. "Are these all Italian dishes?" I asked while looking up at him.He nodded. "Yes, they were the first three dishes that I learned from my mom. They were easy to cook, that's why I chose to make them for you."One of my eyebrows arched slightly. "Just for me? Aren't you going to join me?"He shook his head. "I still need to finish my paperwork. It will be quick. I'll do it while you eat and after that, let's do stargazing.""Where?""My veranda. The space there is wide.""Okay," I then smiled. Then I took the spoon. I was about to take a sip of the soap he made but I noticed he was still standing in front of me so I looked up at him. He stared at me. "What? Do I have dirt on my face?" I asked with raised eyebrows."You kept smiling."I raised an eyebrow at his answer. "And? You have a problem with my smile?"The young man quickly shook his head. "No, just eat," he said before he left in front of me.I just ignored him and started eating.He is actin
First we went to a nearby cafe to order cupcakes for Mary.Vish insisted on paying. It doesn't cost a lot though so I didn't stop him.We walk towards the floor where Mary's room is. Vish were carrying the cupcakes.I knocked on the door several times. Immediately the door was opened and a woman appeared in front of us who looked like she was in her 50's because of her wrinkled face. It was also obvious that she just woke up because of her red eyes."Are you Mary's friend?" The woman asked with a smile.I smiled back at her. "Hi, good morning. My name's Fatima," I extended one of my hands to her.She accepted it. "Louisa, call me aunt Louisa. I'm Mary's mommy," the lady suddenly turned her gaze on the person standing beside me.Our hands parted. "He's Vish by the way, a frein–""Her boyfriend, ma'am," he replied while offering his hand.I stared at him because I didn't expect him to say that."Nice to meet you, hijo," said the lady."Same here," said the young man. He handed the cupca
"Go pick whatever you want," I told Mary. She immediately nodded then let go of my hand and approached the medium-size teddy bears.Suddenly my phone rang so I picked it up. Its Ciano.I stood on the side before answering the call. "Hello!""Um… Hello?" It wasn't Ciano's voice on the other line."Who am I talking to?" I politely asked."Uhm.... This is Chris, Ciano's brother. Am I talking to Fatima? She's my brother's friend.""Uhh, yes. This is Fatima. Nice to know you. How may I help you?""It's nice to know you too. Uhm…. I know you already knew about my brother's condition.""How is he? Is there any problem?""As of now, h-he is severely ill. He asked m-me if you could come here to New York as soon as possible? H-He does really want to see you," I heard him sob. He's obviously crying."Of course. I can," I said immediately. Well, that's not really a problem for me. I have nothing else to do anyway. You could say that my life is a little bit boring. "But, the flight will be long. I
We went to what looked like a tent with a single bench. There are several hollow blocks around it.Chris placed Ciano on the side of the bench before facing him. "I'll come back in an hour. Please, take a very good care of him."I give him an assuring smile. "I will. I promise."He smiled bitterly at me before leaving the rooftop.I sat on the bench, next to Ciano.He's looking at the dark sky where there are many stars."You like stars?" I started a conversation with him.He didn't look at me. "I love them. And, pretty soon, I will be one of them," the tone of his voice was weak but he still tried to speak.I feel like my heart is suddenly squeezed causing it to hurt now.I also looked up at the sky. "You're going to be one of them. So pretty and shining. Giving light to the dark and freezing night.""Will you always look up to the sky when I'm gone?" I felt his deep gaze at me.I turned to him. "Once you become one of them, then I will never miss a single night without staring at th
