SABRINA MORALES

A young boy was standing in front of the elevator, his headphones blasting music loud enough for me to hear from across the room.

He nodded his head to the beat as he waited for the elevator to return.

There was only one elevator, so I stood with him, holding the gift bag under one arm while window shopping on the new Metsy website.

“Cute,” I said out loud when a pink pearl jewelry set loaded.

I considered buying it.

The boy and I locked eyes for a second. I looked away, scrolling past the beautiful jewelry set.

Fuck. I wanted it.

I swiped back and saved it to my wishlist, then quickly swiped away—as if that would somehow undo what I’d just done.

When I looked up, my heart jumped.

The boy was peering into my phone, his hot breath filling the tiny space between us.

He was lanky, just an inch shorter than me, wearing an orange pullover that completely covered his arms.

“What?” I asked, taking a step back.

He apologized. “Got carried away. I’ll just…” He pointed toward th

    BLAZE WILLIAMS“What?” Sabrina asked me after I asked her to be my girlfriend. Her eyes were flat, her gaze empty and she lit up instantly like a Christmas light.Sabrina laughed so hard, that her curls bounced as she threw her head back.She stood up, clutching her stomach.“Sabrina…” I called out to her.“This isn’t funny, but I’m…” Sabrina paused, bent over, and held her side. She pulled herself up after a second.Her shoulders were bare. The green bralette she wore was strapless, hugging her body and stopping just above her belly button.“I can’t stop laughing,” Sabrina gasped out, breathless between bursts of laughter.She wiped her eyes, shoulders shaking.I was fed up.I walked over and kissed her.Unlike the times that she would dissolve into the feel of my lips.Those other times that the pause would happen before we would set fire with our lips.Today was different.There was none of that. Sabrina tore away from my grip casting a glare my way.“What is wrong with you?!” Sa

  • Their Little White Lie   In The Name Of Love

    BLAZE WILLIAMS We were members of the Luci House Club, so I drove Jason to our usual rooftop venue, where we could enjoy some privacy in the lounge area.“How’s work?” Jason asked as he unclipped his seatbelt.He tossed his bag onto his lap and pulled out a replacement shirt. He wasn’t even on duty, so I couldn’t understand why he needed to change the one he already had on.“Good,” I replied, my eyes trailing the fresh, neatly folded lime-colored shirt.“A patient vomited blood all over my stomach,” Jason said, answering the question I hadn’t even asked yet.He changed in the passenger seat of my car, adjusting the collar of his shirt and giving his reflection a glance in the rearview mirror.“It’s just a few days to the new year. Your dad mentioned your plan to run a headline this season,” Jason said. He unlocked his side of the car. I followed suit and stepped out.We continued the conversation over the hood of my car while I locked the doors.“He told you that?” I asked Jason. “

  • Their Little White Lie   The Emergency Room

    BLAZE WILLIAMS “On three!” The brunette doctor took charge, her voice raised just enough to be heard over the shuffle of footsteps and rustling equipment. She kept her voice steady too as she moved with the urgency. “One, two, three—now!” She said. Five pairs of hands were braced along the sides of the man’s gurney, each one ready. At her cue, they acted in perfect sync, shifting the patient swiftly from the gurney to the examination table. The movement was fluid and practiced. You could call it a dance they had done many times. It was an electrifying show. “Here you go,” someone said to Jason, who stood beside me. I had to pull my eyes away from the scene. The doctor who had spoken to Jason was dressed in light blue scrubs, topped with a white coat. His hair was full of tight curls, they hardly moved even as he nodded in response to something Jason asked. “Post-op scans look good,” he said to Jason, glancing at a clipboard before meeting Jason’s eyes again, “but she’s s

  • Their Little White Lie   Groggy

    SABRINA MORALES There was a man in the kitchen. Barefoot and bubbly, humming a tune I was sure I knew but couldn’t quite remember. My neck ached from carrying my head, and everything felt heavy like lead and boulders were piled on my shoulders. “What the…” I grumbled quietly to myself. My brain was processing things slowly, and time seemed to drag. Then, bit by bit, it all came back. Blaze. Mum’s wedding. The semi-family dinner last night. All the drinks I had. I made a mental note to watch my alcohol intake around ‘Uncle Jason.’ Jo, the man in the kitchen, grabbed the pot and moved it to a different stove. That one didn’t have a flame burning yet. From the corner of his eye, he saw me. “You’re up early,” Jo said as he continued doing whatever he was doing. He looked like he was making breakfast, and a big part of me already felt grateful. Mum wasn’t an early riser. The unspoken agreement in our relationship was that I woke up at least thirty minutes before and ended up ma

  • Their Little White Lie   Mum Knows Best

    BLAZE WILLIAMS “And that’s my cue,” Asher said, getting up at once. I followed his gaze and saw Mum and Marcy walking in, radiating the same beauty and elegance they always carried. I wasn’t pleased to see them, and Asher felt the same way. The difference was he could escape, but I couldn’t. He grabbed his glass and tipped his head back, finishing every last drop of his iced Tequila Sunrise. He wasn’t quick enough because Mum caught up to him before he slipped away. “Asher and Blaze, what are you boys up to?” Mum said brightly as she pulled out an empty seat and sat down. “Actually, Leti, I was just leaving,” Asher replied, wiping his mouth with a paper towel. Marcy quietly joined the table, her face set in a frown. She locked eyes with me for a long moment, her anger clear. I had never apologized for what happened at the airport, when I told her to leave without me. I wasn’t planning to, no matter how much venom her eyes and lips were ready to throw. But now, she’d come

  • Their Little White Lie   Close Your Doors

    SABRINA MORALES I knew who was calling as soon as my screen lit up that evening. Alex was blocked from reaching out to me, but he’d found ways to get to me. From going through Violet to showing up at the dinner, I knew he was capable of calling me on a new number. I answered, snatching the phone from my trolley. “I saw you,” Alex said in a low voice. I swallowed and pushed my hair aside. I felt naked, even in the middle of the mall. This was exactly how it would feel if Mum and Jo ever found out about Blaze and me. “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I told Alex, feigning confusion. I looked around. The music on the speakers was low but lively. “What sort of sick shit is going on, Sabrina? Why are you— I’m sorry, baby. Maggie threw herself on me, and I should’ve known better. I’m sorry…” Alex said. “I’m blocking this number too. Please don’t call me again,” I told him. He rushed out his next words, grabbing at the time he had. “You’ve moved on fine because of him!” Ale

  • Their Little White Lie   Table For Three

    JOSEPH WILLIAMS Jason slipped into the office late that evening, fresh from his hospital rounds. He embodied the silent force of our organization as he was a ghostly presence. Always missed. Jason Williams wasn’t just a cornerstone of our business, he was my elder brother by a year. We started the business together, but Jason never really maintained a consistent presence. On most days, I found myself missing him. It wasn’t just about the business, it was about our bond. The elevator ride to the office was smooth. It was a calm contrast to the chaos of the afternoon’s incident. Hadn’t shared the details with Caroline, even though we’d had a video call earlier. Honestly, I was still processing it all. It had been a scene, but thankfully, it hadn’t escalated. I began to think about the conversation Jason and I would have in my office or, more accurately, our mini lounge in the building. The thought excited me with each passing second. We had a joint office lounge. Because Jas

  • Their Little White Lie   Sucker Punch

    BLAZE WILLIAMS Walking over to Dad’s office meant walking from one side of the building to the other. It was long but it was a walk I took that morning five minutes to noon when Dad finally showed up at the office. Our offices used to be close, too close, but I moved my space because I needed to be on my own. I didn’t regret that act one bit. “The budget needs to be expanded. It’s not colossal enough, don’t you see?” Dad said and asked. He had the folder in his hands, a blue hardcover back with a few pages of paper stacked inside it. It was the land pricing listed there along with the budget intended for it. The family’s business was a group of companies that generated so much revenue each year. Some sectors greatly depended on others while some did better than the rest. Our best contender was the construction company, and a big part of its profit came from us reselling lands as properties after we’d built on them. The documents in Dad’s hands had the information a
