To Love You Hurts Perhaps You Misunderstood.
Still, in a state of shock, I absentmindedly watch as the paramedic cleans the small wounds scattered across my arms as the detective continues to ask me questions. “I’m sorry, Mrs. Landry, but do you have any idea who would want to burn your bakery down?” Detective Ashley inquires, his pen touching the pocket-sized field notebook he holds in his hand. Continuing to watch the paramedic, I shake my head, “No.” I sigh, trying to come to terms that everything that has happened this morning wasn’t a dream. “Witnesses say that you accused a male named,” He pauses, flipping a few pages forward, “Kip.” Flipping the pages back over, he regards me again. This time I turn my head and look at the detective through misty eyes. “Kip?” I sniffle, feeling like shit for blaming him in the first place. “Kip wouldn’t hurt a fly. He said something that didn’t sit right with me and in return, I accused him. It was petty, and I wanted to hurt him.” Detective Ashley nods his head, writing everything I
To Love You Hurts You Lied.
The emotions of feeling: Shocked. Hurt. Confused. Misguided… swirl in the pit of my stomach, and it feels like my insides have grown teeth about to go on a rampage and turn me inside out.“I… I…I don’t understand or get why Tobias would lie to me.” I swallow thickly, past the lump that continues to grow in my throat. “Maybe it is you who is misunderstood, Davis,” I whisper, wrapping my fingers around my throat.Davis snakes his fingers around my upper arm, above my elbow, and gently pulls me to the side. Out of sight and hearing range for all to hear and see.His hand slowly glides down my arm, sending a surge of goosebumps to infect my skin. His fingers find mine, and he laces them together, gently stroking the pad of his thumb across my knuckles.I notice his eyes dilate as he sweeps the firm tip of his tongue across the sharp bow on his upper lip, and he takes a step forward, entering my personal space. “Unfortunately for you, I know full well that we have no business in Perth,
To Love You Hurts Marcus The Bartender.
“Would you like another drink, ma'am?” The bartender asks me as he stands across from me behind the bar.Pushing my wine glass forward, “Yeah, one more should hit the spot.” I say quietly with a slight slur and hyper-aware that Tobias has been sitting in the corner booth for the last hour, cradling the same tumbler of whiskey on the rocks in his hand since his arrival.I’m unsure if I feel elated that he has not approached me and given me the space I require with the comfort of knowing that he has tracked me down. Or, if I feel annoyed that he hasn’t come to me, grovelling at my feet and seeking forgiveness where it is due.As the bartender slides my glass back across to me, he flings the hand towel he used to wipe the bar top with and rests his hands on his hips. “Rough day, was it?” He enquires, arching his brows.“You can say that,” I reply, picking up my glass and touching the rim to my lips. “What gave you the vibe? Me sitting here all alone sipping on wine for the past four hour
To Love You Hurts You And Ava?
I emerge from the shower, towel-drying my hair, still trying to wrap my head around what Tobias had told me last night regarding his mother and my bakery. I plonk myself on the end of the mattress and inhale deeply as my head is still slightly spinning, matching my churning stomach after too much to drink yesterday on an empty stomach.It all still feels so… surreal.Like I’m stuck in a bad dream that refuses to release me.Dipping my head, I look at the wet towel in my grasp and try to come up with some sort of explanation as to why Janice would stoop this low. I mean, yeah… I slapped her across the face and didn't have anything nice to say to her when I was last in her presence.But she deserved the slap, and I don’t take back anything that I said to her. Janices’ actions and her vein outlook on life have left nothing but a path of devastation in its wake. Multiple lives have been affected - many are left ruined.Lies… Secrets… more lies...I hate feeling so useless when I have
To Love You Hurts Regrets.
TOBIAS:Shit! God-damn it to hell! The look on Keris’ face slices through the flesh of my chest and digs deep into my heart, piercing it with enough venom to stop it from beating entirely.I hate being the cause of her pain. The reason that has her doubting herself as a beautiful, strong, and intelligent woman. She deserves more, so much more that I doubt any man can give to her. But this is a flaw of mine that I have noticed surfacing a lot recently where Keri is concerned and the truth is…I’m a fucking imbecile!And that's putting it lightly. I know the only thing running through her mind right now, are images of me sleeping with her sister. But that couldn’t be the farthest from the truth.I wouldn’t dare stick my cock in Ava. Just thinking about it makes me shudder with disgust and compels my dick to shrivel up like a dried-up prune.Believe it or not, Ava has absolutely nothing on Keri. No one I have come across does.She is one of a kind, a rare breed indeed, and it
To Love You Hurts An F - For Fail.
Pinching the bridge of my nose, I sigh deeply, expelling all the misery from my still-trembling body as I close my eyes and concentrate on trying to find my composure once again – locking it in place.After a few heartbeats, I open my eyes, raise my hand and knock on the thick slab of wood that separates me from Ava.Before my mind could decipher where I was aimlessly driving after I left that lying sack of shit husband of mine, I ended up outside Avas’ apartment building.It seems my subconscious was on autopilot and lead us here.I sat in the car for about five minutes trying to make sense of what happened and how everything turned to custard. After concluding that there will always be someone in my path blocking me from finding the greatness that lingers in the atmosphere, which seemed like a lifetime, I finally dragged my ass out of my car and entered the building.Part of me would rather not be here. Emotionally and mentally, I’m not in the mood to face Ava.I don’t know where th
To Love You Hurts Powerless.
“I don’t believe you,” Ava growls the second she gets over my shocking discovery. “You will say anything to try to throw my plans off, but I’m not going to let you. If Tobias can't have children, then why does he fuck other women with a condom on?” She continues in a snarky tone as she folds her arms in a defensive stance toward me.I raise my brows, “are you seriously asking me this question right now, Ava?” I deadpan. “Please… you seriously cannot be this stupid, but I suppose you can’t have the looks and body of a Goddess and expect to have brains too. A condom isn’t only used as a source of contraception, it’s used to protect yourself from getting a Sexually Transmitted Infection.”I stare at Ava with disbelief blazing in my eyes, and it’s evident that what Tobias had said about her using a Turkey baster is true. I don’t know what kind of crap Is lodged in her Google search engines history, but I’m confident it’s loaded with some really blonde questions that would make anyone que
To Love You Hurts Don't Worry Love.
Don’t panic.Breathe.Repeat.“I stole the spare key from Tobias’s office and replaced it with a fob key. I knew one day you will discover the truth about me and Ava. I was hoping I'd be wrong, yet, here we are.” He growls, straightening his tie as his gaze continues to penetrate mine. “You know, it’s not Avas’ fault why she is so naive.”I don't answer him, keeping my lips sealed tightly. I don't want him to know that he terrifies me either; I refuse to give him the satisfaction.How does he expect me to be brutally honest with him when his finger is still resting on the trigger of his gun? I don’t usually have a loose tongue, but after everything that has unravelled this morning, I’m finding it hard to filter my opinions.“I don’t understand why you are involved with my sister, Davis, but if I have to guess, I’m pretty adamant that you spending time with her and getting your dick wet at the same time has something to do with Tobias?” I gulp, killing the engine.“I underestimated y
