I step into the shower, the water as hot as I can take it, pelted down on my skin, I hoped it could wash away the embarrassment I was feeling. After all, my professor had ducked last minute when I tried to kiss him earlier, so my mouth greeted the rough stubble on his chin. We each murmured different excuses and bolted out of there immediately. I scream in frustration, how could I have gone in with a kiss after he blatantly rejected me before, and now in public, he did it again. The last time I felt this humiliation in public, it was when I went to meet Prudy's father, I needed him to own up to the fact that he was fathering the child of his son's betrothed. “How can you accuse me of such a thing? My son and i had not gotten to meet her yet and then she fell pregnant. How is it that I am getting the blame when your sister is the one who is loose?” I can still feel the anger I felt all those years ago.“You raped her!! You fucking rapist!! You dirty scumbag..” I didn

SPARK“We should take this to my place, where we won’t be spied on.” I keep my eyes on Vaughn's as I say this. I am tired of him always popping out of nowhere and ruining everything. “Uhm.. sure.”“Is she drunk?” he asked.I scoff. What did he think of me? “No..” Red's confused expression kept flickering from Vaughn to me.“Don’t respond to him anymore, it’s none of his business.” I say as I lift up from the boulder. Leading the way back down, I am fuming silently. What did he think he was? He made it abundantly clear that he wanted nothing more than student teacher relationship, so why does he keep showing up? “You know that guy?”I ignore the question as we finally get to shore. “Your place is closer right?”I didn’t want to invite him to my place, lest he comes unexpected, especially since I have no clue how today will go. “Yeah. We don't have to even drive there.”This time he leads the way. A few people on the beach greet him as we pass,

AUTHORITY He brought both hands up to frame my face, and his palms were enormous, and his thumbs brushed the ridges of my cheekbones in a soothing, comforting, yet arousing gesture that made my stomach twist with flutters. His fingertips pressed into my hair at the back of my head, gently but firmly tugging my face closer to his. I look into the swirls of his darkened grey irises, they reflected every need I felt. We were finally on the same page. “Vee, I’m here.” His eyes widen and he leaps away from me. I sit still, blinking away the disorientated feeling from lack of his presence beside me. “Vee.. open up.” A female voice grunted from outside the door.Once again, I was being swept into a heap and was led upstairs. “I am so sorry. I forgot she was supposed to visit today.” “If you say that was a mistake one more time.”He chewed on his lips, looking at me guiltily from under his lashes. I groan. “I am sick and tired if this. You kissed me first th

NASTYNow the relief I felt earlier has washed over me, all I am feeling is shame and even more shame, I needed a bath, a change of clothes, and scolding Jessica and Cecilia for letting me out of the house in that state. “Thank you for the coffee, I should go now.” I say as I get to my feet. It was bright out and i looked like I had a regretful night. “Oh, please, don’t mind me. I’ll be gone in a minute, stay as long as you need.” She wiggled her brows suggestively. My ears burn and i look down at my feet. His sister was totally different from him. “I hate to impose. It was a mistake coming here in the first place.”My eyes must have flickered to Vaughn when I said ‘mistake’ and my tone given me away because she scowls at her brother. “Did you do it? Call her a mistake?”I open my mouth to say not me as a person, but she raised a finger to silence me, effectively shutting my mouth. “I didn't..”“You go on, and on repeating how much you respect wome

Vial We made all our plans via email. From the formal way we sounded with each other, you wouldn’t know we have had our tongues in each other's throat in the past. Which was fine with me, he could stick to his rules, Rated R could not. I had thought I drilled this enough into Jessica and Cecilia, they had both gone to seat together in the plane, leaving me with him again. They were a few rows behind on the opposite side. I shoot them a look that they pretend not to see, ducking behind magazines. As this was the first time we were seeing each other since the day in the middle of the road, I think I speak for both of us when I say we were awkward and strained. But he looked so good in a white sleeves shirt. His hair was styled to look messy. The feeling of running my fingers through the silk locks made me shiver. I force my eyes away from him. Finally settling into my seat. I start to find the sleeping pills that I had slipped into my bag. Not finding it,
