DELACROIX

It was just a day ago. The sun had set leaving a glow on her skin. She spent the entire evening practising her cello to perfection.

The question was rent free in my mind. What would possess a woman to change the entire trajectory of her life in a few short years? What could push a woman with a junkie of a mother to suddenly possess the aura and musical talents of a Julliard musician with enough skill to push out the best awarded member of the Montgomery Fine Orchestra?

I thought I knew everything about this woman. Every single thing that makes her who she is inside and out.

After leaving Lana’s tattoo parlour, I’d gotten word that Adeline was headed to the music hall. I watched her spend an hour on the bus station before she hopped on a bus to get to her scheduled meeting.

I followed her, dodging onlookers, my hoodie over my head and my bike mask covering my face. I stayed out of sight as I watched her alight the bus and spent a few minutes outside taking deep breaths to c

    ADELINE“What? Last I checked, it rose fine to me.” His voice spoke behind me.I turned to see him standing there with hands in his pockets, smirking. I wonder how mortified I look right now. “What...what are you doing here!?” “I volunteered. Isn’t that what you’re here for too?”“Since when? You don’t volunteer at all. It’s not your style.” I crossed my arms. “Leave now.”“I’ll leave but I wonder what sweet Jules might think if you chase away a volunteer who just wants to help out around. She’ll be pretty pissed and I hear kind people can be wicked...really fast.” His face hovered so close to mine that I could smell the candy off his breath.“Please don’t.” I murmured and pulled away when I remembered that we are not alone. “You win.” I better act as unaffected as a log because if Bridget should have second doubts about us, I’m screwed.If Wesley finds out, my cellist opportunity is cancelled.“You must be Adele’s step brother. I am Bridget.” Bridget hurried beside me stretching he

    ADELINE “Fine, I agree.”I blinked. Is he serious right now? He could have just said yes yesterday. “Are you just going to stand there?” He asked, his brows furrowed. I wanted to give him a punch in the jaw right now but I calmed myself.“I need to get us a contract. It has to be written down and printed. But I don’t have time for that so I’ll put it down on a piece of paper.” Before he could reply, I dashed out of the room to get a paper and a pen. I hurried back and lucky for me, he has already put on his sweats. I sighed in relief then walked to his desk and took a step scribbling some words on the paper. “You should also add why there’s no sex there...you know for emphasis so I don’t forget.” He muttered, a lazy grin playing on his face.I glanced at him, trying to read through his expressions but they are cheeky and confusing at times. I narrowed my eyes on him. What is he planning? But anyways...I’ll be clueless till then. I shrugged, and put it down then handed him his copy.

    ADELINESomething smelled delicious like spice and heat. I wanted to wrap it around me like a blanket. I snuggled closer to the source, enjoying the strong, solid warmth beneath my cheeks. I didn’t want to wake up but I’d promised Bridget, my co-worker, to volunteer at a local pet store with her this morning, before my afternoon shift at the gallery. I allowed myself one more minute of coziness. Had my bed always been this big and soft before I opened my eyes and yawned? Weird...My room looked different. No photograph prints painting the wall, no vase of sunflowers by my bed and did my bed just move on its own?My eyes fell on the broad expense of bare skin beneath me, and my stomach dropped. I looked up straight into a pair of familiar green eyes. Eyes that stared back at me with no humour last night.He flicked his gaze down and I followed too. To my realization and abject horror, I was touching Croix’s cock. Unintentionally, but he had his sweats on, but still.I was touching Croi

    ADELINE “No.”“Excuse me? After all my pleadings, I get a no?” I said exasperatedly. The asshole is even grinning. Who even does that?“You should prove to me why I need you as my muse and maybe convince me enough.” He shrugged, and then bit into the apple he took from the fruit basket after he washed it in the sink. “You seem stressed; need a massage or a velvet cookie?”I sighed, turning to my room. There was no point arguing and he didn’t come after me, not that I was expecting him to, but yeah, I did expect at least something. He was already warming up to me.I texted Markie and she replied almost immediately. She said something about work and a certain job she’s working on that’s weird as fuck but I needed company so I filled her up everything that has been going on in my life for the past few days. I poured out everything to her and she just listened. I haven’t heard her voice much, just a few times but they are enough to assure me that she’s my biggest supporter right now.MAR

    ADELINEWalking out into the kitchen, I do a quick sweep of the tables and countertops. Beads of sweat and tears line my forehead and eyes respectively as I drop to my knees. “Why are you crying?” The familiar voice came again this time startling me. I turned, thinking it was my delusions only to find Elijah standing there with a creased brow. It was a rare sight considering he was the happiest of the flock.I shot up, clunking the back of my head on the underside of the wooden table. “Oh shit, sorry!” Eli laughs, his footsteps approaching. “I didn’t mean to scare you.”He offers me his hand and I get up with it. I avoided his gaze again, he’s giving me that look again. “Why are you crying?”“It’s nothing really.” I mumbled, trying to sidestep him but he kept blocking my path with his huge body. “I said it’s nothing. Why is it helpful to you if you know? Maybe you can tell Croix and you guys will tease me?” I bit out.He shrugged but still pulled me into a hug, patting my hair. “It’
