The Present“Babe, someone’s at the door!”Silence.“Babe!”“What?!” Lolita screamed back, disorientated.“Someone’s at the door.”She pressed her face into the pillow, trying to convince her brain cells to start working. Lolita hated when Jarrod screamed her name so early in the morning, thereby interrupting her sleep. However he seemed to forget that she wasn’t a morning person and was now constantly screaming her name in the morning.“Babe!”“Give me a minute!”Groaning, she rolled down from the bed. Brushing her hair hurriedly with her hands, she left her bedroom and trudged down to the door.“If he’s so bothered by who’s at the door, why don’t he just go and open it himself?” she mumbled to herself.She was usually very calm and sweet, but her rough hours were in the mornings. This was especially why she scheduled her work to start from 1pm and not 8am. She could be using all that time to sleep, but now she was opening a door.The door bell rang. The sound went straight to her he

Who is He?There was a dull ringing in Lolita’s head, but she could barely register it. He was staring at her, their eyes locked together. She was now more convinced than ever that the fluttering in her chest and stomach was familiarity. She knew him. Like, she knew him. But where? How? Was it because he looked so much like Jarrod?No, she decided, her gaze still on him. He was nothing like Jarrod. He was wearing a shirt with the first three buttons open, so she could see his broad chest and the round tattoo on his neck.Lolita gulped. He was wildly attractive. Insanely beautiful. The only time she had ever thought of someone this smoking hot was years back, so far back that it was a distant memory.He started walking towards her, not breaking stride or contact. The girl beside him complained, tugging at his sleeve, but it was lost in the wind. She had no choice than to follow him inside the café. Lolita’s heart beat wildly in her chest. She wanted to control it, but there was no cont

The Stranger on a London NightLolita’s head was blank. She couldn’t think. Everything seemed to have been blurred out, leaving only her and Hayden.Hayden.She couldn’t get over his name, but she didn’t remember him, either. Whatever he was talking about didn’t register within her. He seemed to have read her face, because then he cocked his head to the side and smiled a little.“You forgot,” he said.She cleared her throat, and then sat down on the round table in front of her. He took a seat out of nowhere and flopped down beside her, staring intently at her.“You did forget,” he pointed out, surprised. “I mean, I’m sure it’s been a couple of years, but you told me you’d never forget.”“What are you even talking about?”“Our night together, Lola.”She scoffed. “What a joke. This is the third time we’re meeting but somehow we’ve spent the night together?”He bit his lips, thinking. “We didn’t exactly spend the night together.”She threw up her hands in exasperation. “We didn’t spend a

In Light of Mistakes.Dinner dates with Jarrod were usually fun and informative. An unnecessary kind of information, but still. He liked to show her things she'd seen countless times before, liked to teach her every now and then, as though she was too dumb to understand."If you want to get an undercooked steak, you must have the right kind of heat temperature," he said in the middle of cutting his steak. "But of course, you don't need to know that because you won't be cooking."Lolita sipped her wine and looked at him from under her lashes. "Why's that?""Why's what?""Why won't you let me cook?"He laughed. "Baby, that's unnecessary. Your hands are gonna soil and get hard and unattractive. Soft is the new hot, you know?"She sipped her juice again. She didn’t know. Matter of fact, Lolita really didn’t know anything. She was constantly under his shadow and doing whatever he asked. Let go her dreams of cooking and baking as a professional just so she’ll be a princess for him? Sure, wh

The beginning of woes.Lolita kept an eye on Hayden while she called Jarrod on the phone. Hopefully he was settled in his hotel room and awake, not sleeping or in business meetings. He was usually in business meetings when she called, but she felt like today would be different. She needed him to come to the phone, to send his brother away."Hey babe," he answered on the third ring. "I'm kinda busy, but I can spare a minute or two. Everything. alright there?""Your brother is here," she announced.It was better to let it all out in the beginning rather than exchanging pleasantries then dropping the bomb later. She imagined that Jarrod was gripping his phone tightly at her announcement."What did you just say?" he asked."I said your brother is here. He showed up this morning and refused to leave. I've tried all I could and my efforts are abortive. Listen, can you speak to him and tell him to leave?""Talk about our love life too," Hayden chimed from the background."Is he the one talki
