ADELINE

I woke up in a panic.

I forgot to lock the door again. My thighs immediately sealed together, my quads tightening, and my arms circle my body before my eyes even have the chance to speak. My dreams hazy again snd I feel this tightening in my chest that just won’t ease up.

I scan my surroundings for any intruder before dragging my hand down my face in a panic. It takes me a moment to calm myself together. I realise that I’m not in my mom’s house or in that dream that I keep forgetting every single time.

My stomach rumbled, the pizza wasn’t enough for me and Croix isn’t going to the grocery store for more stock just to be petty to me. Sometimes, he burned hot and cold. I took a knife and stabbed a pepperoni before smearing it on the wall. Maybe it would give them a hint to actually clean the house up.

Grabbing my phone, I immediately search through my messages hoping to find a message from Wesley. He didn’t come home last night and I was waiting patiently for him. As expected, t

    AdelineHe was furious.He was pulsing with it. One hand clutched the steering wheel, his knuckles white and his other hand on the gearshift clenching hard like he wanted to strangle someone.He overheard the incident with Wesley and I. He must think I’m pathetic that I’m paying for Wesley’s stuff and tolerating his bullshit but Wesley has been with me for a while and has stayed with me through the stress. He may not know what I almost did which I will take to my grave but he’s just as important to me.“I’m okay.” I said, wrapping my arms around my torso, my voice scratchy and unsure. “Really.”That seemed to make him more furious. “Yeah because your boyfriend is the best.” Sarcasm drips from his voice as he drives. “Too bad he’s laced with all these deficiencies.”I flashed him a glare but it’s no use. He’s right somehow and I can’t bring myself to deny that or defend Wes. He doesn’t speak anymore and I have never been more grateful for that. He stopped in front of Glazzers and I d

    ADELINEAfter that stupid play with the faucet, I haven’t seen Croix anywhere for the past three days. I already started work and because of him, I ran late that day too. I am standing by the counter when Croix walks in with his black sweatpants hanging low on his hips. Is there a ban against clothes here or what?He bites his bottom lip as he moves closer. Stilling, he plays with his lip ring, making my stomach instantly drop. The way he tongues that lip ring makes me wonder about the feel of it. I blink and dart my gaze away.He stepped closer, opened his mouth, his hot breath against my ear reaching my skin. “That’s not an appropriate way to look at your roommate and brother,”He backs away as he leans around me, pouring me a cup of coffee before heading towards the kitchen table to prepare breakfast. This morning, he appears to be tame and that’s a good thing.He begins frying the onions and garlic, the aroma filling the air. It shouldn’t bother me the way it does. But the sight o

    CROIX“She’s hot.” Eli said before taking a sip of his beer. “Like an innocent apple yet let me step on your neck while you cum type of girl. I’m getting masculine vibes.”“Who’s hot?” Lana asked from my lap, inhaling a blunt as I sat back deeper into the broken couch.“Masculine? Like Matt?" Rocks, one of our friends spoke out coughing through the smoke. “Like she lifts more than Matt?”“Not manly but Masculine.” Eli smirked still day dreaming about her.“What he means is that she possesses masculine traits like persuasive, strategic, ambitious, intimidating and all the whatnot.” Josiah corrects Eli with an eyeroll.Not a bad assessment though. He has always been the smartest of the group but unfortunately in his case his own came with anti-social tendencies. He lacks the ability to socialize outside his tight knit circle. Well versed in technology but zero emphasis on interpersonal connections.“Okay I mean she has these ruthless killer instincts beneath those cute little dimples an

    Adeline“Enjoying yourself?” I gasped, falling into the wall at the sound of Croix’s voice behind me. Turning back to the room, I find both men looking at me.“What the fuck?”He shakes his head with a smirk on his face. “Good girls don't curse, Melanie.”I glared at him. I can't believe my name can't pass through his thick skull that he's calling me by his hooker's name. “It's Adeline.”Croix pushed the door the rest of the way open with a hard this, his arm bracing over me as we stood in the frame together.“Croix, what the fuck?” Sigh said, focusing on me.“Got ourselves a stalker.” Croix declares.“I was just…sorry, I…looking for the bathroom.” I hang my head, peering down at the floor in the hallway while absentmindedly rubbing my elbow.Eli rises to his feet, wiping his face with the back of his hand, and takes a few strides forward to reach me. “Wait Melanie girl, right?” He holds out his hand, looks at it and then retracts it immediately wiping it on his jeans. He has a hard-

    SIXIt has been a week since that incident and Wesley and I haven’t had sex since then. It was like our movements were monitored and it was disturbing for me. Dogs bark wildly at each other outside as children zip past the street on their bicycles. And I thought this place was lonely. All the while, laughter spills in through my window.I stand by my white desk, which I have made my own and start organising my resume for my new job. I have yet to be bothered by Croix again even after taking the hottest shower I have ever had in the shared bathroom with no sign of him.I spent my time working to make this room feel homey by hanging my clothes in the closet, setting up a corner for my cello and music stand and organising my makeup on the dresser. I take out my phone and begin to text Markie.ADELINE: I am in a terrible situation. The agent is my step brother. Mission aborted.MARKIE:Hot step bro is the agent? Super hot if you ask me.I laugh at my friend’s comment. My friendship with Ma
