It had been two weeks since we last spoke.

“Hi?” I greeted, trying to sound casual.

“Can I come in?”

I stepped aside and opened the door wider for him. Turning my back, I walked ahead and settled onto the couch. The drowsiness I’d been fighting just moments ago had completely disappeared.

He took the seat across from me, his legs spread comfortably apart. Resting his elbows on his thighs, he clasped his hands together. The tips of his fingers rubbed against

    “Stay here. I’m just gonna go upstairs to change. If you get thirsty or hungry, feel free to grab something from the kitchen. It’s right over there.” I pointed toward the kitchen doorway.“Thanks.” She offered me a small smile before settling onto the couch.I headed upstairs and took a quick shower. My skin felt sticky from being out all day, and I didn’t want to put on new clothes without rinsing off first. I hurried through it, though. I didn’t want to keep her waiting for too long.By the time I came back downstairs, I had my MacBook with me. I sat beside her on the couch and opened FaceTime. I wasn’t expecting Xerces to answer almost immediately, but he did.My forehead creased the second his face appeared on the screen.He was shirtless.He stepped away from the camera to grab something from a drawer. His bed was visible in the background, and with his back turned to us, all I could see was the broad expanse of his bare bac

    After dinner, I headed back to my room to finally get some rest.“Ruelle?”I looked up when I heard Grandma’s voice from outside my door. Sliding off the bed, I walked over and opened it for her.“Need anything?”She gave me a small nod. “Can I come in?”I stepped aside to let her in, then closed the door behind us. We settled onto my bed, sitting side by side.“How have you been, hija?” she asked gently. “Has life been treating you well lately?”“Kind of?” I answered, not entirely sure myself.She studied me for a moment. “Why? Is something bothering you? You know you can always tell me anything, just like you did when you were little. I’m all ears.”“Even a secret?”Her eyes narrowed ever so slightly. “You didn’t commit a crime, did you?” she asked suspiciously.My eyes immediately widened. “Of course not! Oh my freaking goodness.” I let out an exasperated groan.She chuckle

    “Grandma!” I beamed the moment I stepped inside the house.Her face immediately lit up when she saw me, and she walked over to greet me.She was already in her sixties, and the wrinkles on her face had become more noticeable over the years. Even so, she was still surprisingly energetic.“I missed you,” I said, wrapping my arms around her in a tight hug.“I missed you too, hija. You haven’t visited us in so long.”“I’ve been really busy.”“Oh, dear.” She gently patted my back. “Make sure you get some rest too. Don’t work yourself to the bone, okay? It’s not like you’ll end up in the street if you take a break once in a while. Your grandpa and I are leaving you quite an inheritance anyway.”I laughed at her joke.“Will my inheritance be enough to keep me alive for the rest of my life?” I asked, playing along.“Oh, please. It’ll be enough even for your great-grandchildren.”“How about me, young la

    It had been two weeks since we last spoke.“Hi?” I greeted, trying to sound casual.“Can I come in?”I stepped aside and opened the door wider for him. Turning my back, I walked ahead and settled onto the couch. The drowsiness I’d been fighting just moments ago had completely disappeared.He took the seat across from me, his legs spread comfortably apart. Resting his elbows on his thighs, he clasped his hands together. The tips of his fingers rubbed against each other absentmindedly.“Got something to say?” I asked, deciding to break the silence first.“Do we have a problem?” he asked hesitantly.There it was. The question I’d been dying to hear for the past two weeks.“Not that I know of. Why?” I tilted my head. “What made you think that?”Keep it cool, Rue.“You’ve been avoiding me ever since we got back from the island.” His voice was so quiet I almost didn’t catch it.“You look glo

    “Fuck,” he hissed, tipping the beer bottle back and draining what was left of it in one long swig.I grinned as I watched him.I sat on the bed with my back against the headboard, a wine glass cradled in my hand, while he occupied the chair across from me. “This is the reason you came here? To drink?” he asked, disappointment lacing every word.The way his face was all scrunched up in a frown made him look ridiculously funny.“Why? What were you expecting?” I teased.He shot me a glare, but that only made me laugh harder. I clutched my stomach, unable to hold it back.“Stop laughing. For the first time, you’re seriously pissing me off.”“Were you hoping you’d get laid tonight?”“Why wouldn’t I? It’s been so long since we last slept together. I’m pent up.”“Why? Didn’t you try hooking up with other people?”“Of course I didn’t. I don’t just sleep with anyone. I’m not stupid enough to r

    Wearing my two-piece swimsuit, I stretched out on a beach lounger with my shades on. The sun had already risen, but it hadn’t reached its peak yet, leaving behind a pleasant warmth instead of the scorching heat that burned against the skin.The others were still dead asleep after last night’s drinking. And since I hadn’t touched a drop of alcohol, I found myself awake long before anyone else.The sound of approaching footsteps reached my ears, and I didn’t even have to look to know who it was. His perfume gave him away long before he spoke.He lowered himself onto the lounge beside mine. For a while, neither of us said anything. We simply listened to the waves breaking against the shore, letting the silence settle comfortably between us.“Thank you,” I said at last.“For what?”“For everything.” I released a quiet sigh. “I know you’re only doing all this because you feel like you have to, but… I’m really, really grateful.”“Does this mean you’re finally done with all this bullshit?”“
