The Past

Violet “It’s beautiful, “I whisper, my eyes sliding down the golden figure of the Eiffel Tower. “I’ve never been so close to it. “Dominic doesn’t say anything, so my eyes flicker to him. “I stopped coming here. “He answers my unspoken question and I frown. “Why?”“I prefer places with fewer people. “He says casually and I laugh. “I should have figured. What’s the problem with people, anyway?”I ask, “I mean, besides the obvious ones?”Dominic laughs too, then says. “They always expect something from you. I don’t have a problem with that, I just don’t like it when random strangers recognize me and ask for something.”“Yeah…”“ And if they don’t get it, for whatever reason, things get worse. ““That’s terrible, I can imagine. “ I say, “The press?”“That’s where those people go in the first place, “ Dominic says. Despite the seriousness of what he’s saying, he sounds amused. “The headlines are my favourite. “Dominic says and I let a breath of laughter escape me. “Oh, no. ““O

The Price We Pay

Violet Dominic slams the door open and lifts me, carrying me inside. My legs wrap around him on instinct. Something primal and deep inside me is guiding me. It’s like I don’t have to think what to do next, I am not unsure. His strength and passion swallow me whole and all I want to do is let him take me. The door slams shut behind us, and he puts me back on the ground. Then his hands are on my shoulders, running lower to my waist. Dominic’s kiss is ravenous, and it feels like he can’t get enough.It also feels like he is fighting himself not to rip my dress to pieces. Desire is pulsing all through my body and I shiver when his hands close around me. Dominic slows down the kiss. From a starving, bruising one it gradually becomes more gentle. More careful. I feel the smile in Dominic’s voice when he slows down and whispers against my lips “Do you like it slower?”I feel the colour rising in my cheeks. When he speaks like this I feel embarrassed because he voices my desires with

Bubbles

Violet 01:32“I can’t sleep. ““Me neither. What are you doing?”“Nothing, just lying. You?”“Thinking of coming over?”03:45“So I decided it wasn’t worth it. ““Yeah, I would do the same. “04:26“I HATE this movie. ““Why?”“It’s just predictable. ““No, it’s not. ““It is. ““You’ve seen every possible movie out there, that’s why you think so. “06: 57“Good night? Or good morning?”“I don’t know, wait. Aren’t we supposed to be getting up soon?”“What time is it?”“Damn it. “****“Marvelous job!” My father-in-law greets us once we arrive at the office in London. I keep a very significant distance from Dominic, although I catch myself stealing glances at him. “Violet did a great job, I was just accompanying her to the meetings.“Dominic says. “No, you were the one guiding me. “I say to which Philip laughs. “Okay, I get it! “ Philip says, “You both did great, and you are both apparently a great team. Or you did something wrong and you are now hesitant to tell me, that’s why y

New Beginning

Violet I don’t call for the driver. Instead, I grab a taxi that takes me right to Dominic’s place. I knock nervously and he opens the door. Dominic is wearing a wide, black t-shirt and casual sweatpants. His hair is messy and I think the usual- he is gorgeous. “Hey, “ He smiles and invites me in. “Anything to drink, or…” “No, “ I shake my head. “Your message sounded urgent, Is everything all right?” I take a deep breath and my eyes search the place. His apartment is great, Stylish with nothing too much or extra. “Violet?” He asks and I turn to face him. “Conor has a mistress. “ I say, “It’s his secretary. “ Dominic’s jaw tightens visibly. He looks like he is ready to rip my husband to pieces. His brother. “How…” he begins but gives up, “No, never mind. It doesn’t matter how you found out. I…“ he looks away and through the window. His eyes dance over the landscape of the city. The view is beautiful, but I am sure we will have time to admire it later. “I am sorry

Liars

Violet I freeze, unable to move. I can’t look away from the screen, my heart is drumming like mad. Anastasia is smiling widely at the woman sitting opposite her. There’s another woman in the studio asking questions too. The typical morning chat show. I’ve never watched them much, and they seem to be always the same. “So, I think we all want to know, “ the interviewer asks and glances at her co-host. The other woman nods, excited. “Yes. Tell us how he proposed to you. ““Oh, it was very romantic. He had to travel, because, you know, “ Anastasia waves a long-manicured hand, “The business and all that. But when he came back, he said how much he’d missed me and that we should be together forever. ““So the time he was away from you made him realize you were the one. ““Yes. “Anastasia's smile looks like it’s growing by the second and with each word she says. “Where are you planning the wedding - here or back in the US? ““We decided to stay here for the moment, but…” she shrugs and

Not the End

Dominic “Mister Hale, can you please sign those papers and… “ The secretary is trying to keep up with me as I storm down the corridor. “Mister Hale. “ she tries again and I stop walking and pause. “Give them to my assistant, “ “But…” I resume walking and she doesn’t follow. I know how I look when I am angry, and I assume my look was enough to keep her away. My anger is enough to keep everyone away. I type a message to my assistant to cancel all my meetings and head out to the parking lot. I get in my car and while I drive, I call Anastasia. “Hey, Dom, “ her voice is high with excitement and I close my hands around the steering wheel. “How are you?” she goes on, “ I was going to call you. Are we still down for tonight? I know you wanted to speak to me, I am so excited. “ I remind myself I need to breathe and press the gas pedal. “I am going to talk to you now. “ I say. She pauses, noticing the anger in my voice. “That’s…great. “ she chirps, “I have a photoshoot rig

The Outsider

Violet Dominic is not here and I wish we could cancel the meeting. But I also know that is not an option. So I hold it together with Philip. He doesn’t know where Dominic is, but right now, it’s for the better he is not standing next to me. I gather myself and do the presentation. Our potential investors love what we do, and agree quickly for a potential collaboration. Once we are done, I head out of the conference room. Philip catches up with me as I am walking towards my office. “Violet, the presentation went great, “ Philip says, “Dominic and you have accomplished so much in such a short time. ““Yes, thank you. “ I smile. My broken heart and everything else aside - thanks to this project I am one step closer to gathering all the money I need and to paying my debts to Conor. “We have a few more weeks until we finalize everything. “He says. “I owe all of this to you two. Which reminds me. ““What?”I ask. “Where’s Dominic?”“I … I don’t know. “ “This is strange of him, do

Before the Storm

Violet Conor is sitting close to me, expecting an answer. And at that moment my life flashes before me. I know what will happen. I also know he is right about the things he is saying. “My father will be devastated. My nephew, “ he places his psalm on his chest and I want to throw up at the thought of him, addressing Anastasia- and Dominic’s - child this way. “He or she will grow up with this horrible truth. Do you really want this?“ But despite all the guilt he is trying to make me feel, there’s only one thing that he succeeds in making me honestly think about right now. It’s resentment. Towards each one of them. I get up and look down at Conor. “The papers will be ready soon,” I say, voice cold. “ Expect a call or an email from my lawyer. “ I head out the door. Conor’s smug voice reaches me. “You have no idea what you are doing. You will regret your actions, Violet. “ I pause before pressing the handle, not turning around. “I might regret them, yes, “ I say, “But at

Special

Evie “I have to go back ot London, “I sit on my bed and Lilian looks up from the book she’s reading. She is sitting across the bed, leaning against the wall. The window is open and the smoke from her cigarette dances around her hand, then travels through the window. Lilian shuts the book of French poetry and rests her head against the wall. “Is everyhgn all right?”“I don’t know. Yes. ““Is it something with your sister?” Lilian aks, concerned. “Yeah. ““Then you should definitely go. ““That’s what I told her. But … I was super sure when I told her it wouldn't be a problem with the classes. And it was a lie. ““Tyson will definitely give you the credits if that’s what you’re worried about . Just hand in your homework on time and it should be okay. “Lillian smiles at me. “Besides, you're among his favorite students , we all know that. “ “That’s not true. “I say and look down at my hands, clasped in my lap, because I don’t want her to see my stupidly grinning face. Lilian sh

My Dead Plants

Violet I wait for Evie at the airport. I recognize her immediately among the crowd. Her hair- usually dyed blond is now very slightly darker, though. “Evie!” I exclaim as soon as I see her and hug her. “Different shades of your hair?” She pulls away and runs a hand through the wavy strands... “Tyson said it now looks better. “ “Your professor, you mean.” I remind her. “He is not a professor yet. Come on, let’s go. Are we going to the family manor, or…” “I am staying elsewhere. “ “And that is?...” “My old apartment on the west side. “ “Even better. I would hate it if I had to speak to Conor. he called me by the way, asking where you are. Again. “ “Ughh… you will tell me everything once we are home. “I can't wait to hate on him. “ she grins and we leave. We pick up a cab and head to my place. It’s small and nothing special when compared to the amazing houses owned by the Hale family. But it’s the closest I feel to home right now. Evie has settled in and we sit n
