Semua Bab Divorced and Falling for the Tattoo Master: Bab 21 - Bab 29

~ SIENNA ~I stopped by a restaurant to eat something that was formed by sèxual intercourse, not germination.I hadn’t stepped out of Margo’s apartment since the evening I stepped in, which means all the food I had eaten for the past week was made by Margo — and was vegan. Even though Margo was a great cook, there were only so many variations of grains and vegetables a non-vegan could eat before they got tired. So I went to a restaurant to satisfy my meat cravings.The turkey wings were spicy, with the flesh falling off the bone — a testament to the amount of time they spent marinated in a well-seasoned sauce and subsequently grilled in an oven. I relished every bite, washing it down with a cold can of orange juice as they didn’t have anything strawberry-flavored.I would have gotten takeout but Margo didn’t exactly appreciate having non-vegan meals in her home. So I drove back savoring the taste of the turkey in my mouth. “How did it go?” Margo asked as soon as I stepped into the l

~ GAVIN ~Amidst cheers, Edward and Hannah made their way to an enclosure set up in one corner of the backyard. From a distance, it looked like a large decorative crate but when they each took hold of a dangling ribbon and pulled, the lightweight panels that formed the enclosure folded outward to reveal a sleek car draped in — God help me — a pink and blue car cover. The cheers got even louder. Just from the outline of the car, I already knew which it was. A Ferrari Portofino.My brother received the microphone from the MC and made a heartfelt speech thanking Hannah for her sacrifice and announcing that the car was a gift for her, resulting in a round of applause. Hannah did what could best be described as a waddle to her husband and they shared some hugs and kisses. The MC followed Edward’s speech with an announcement that the car’s color would give away the baby’s gender. And then it was time for the big reveal. Everyone watched in excitement as the expecting couple took the cov

~ SIENNA ~My room was a mess — not a bad mess, a good mess. The kind of mess you have to make first in an attempt to restore order. Clothes were draped over every surface, shoe pairs were at opposite ends of the room, cosmetics were hidden in unconventional places like a treasure hunt. After nearly two weeks of living in Margo’s house, I was finally sorting out my belongings and trying to make this space feel more like mine. Of course that meant that the beddings had been changed from a plain white sheet that regrettably reminded me of hospital beds to a baby pink floral sheet. And the room now smelled like fresh strawberries. I sat on the floor, legs wide apart, as I sorted through my fashion accessories. Some were grouped to be disposed, others donated, others kept. I’d never really been a hoarder so the things I had no immediate use for had to go. Even if I wanted to keep them, there was no space.I still had some of my properties in my car’s trunk. I couldn’t get myself to bri

~ SIENNA ~Channeling my most optimistic spirit, I turned on the car again but after a few spurts, it wheezed and stayed dead. Twice. Thrice. I gave up. After locking all the doors, I frantically reached for my phone and dialed Margo. She didn’t pick up. I tried two more times before opting to leave a voice mail. “Hi Margo. I’m very scared. My car broke down on the road from Harry’s company. I’m stranded on Interstate 9.”I tried to take controlled breaths, my fingers curling and uncurling my hair as nervousness threatened to swallow me whole. What do I do now? I had never been in a situation like this. Not once since my father bought me this car, brand new from the Mercedes show room years ago. That was the time when I was still a daddy’s girl — when he didn’t know how badly I would disappoint him. I had just broken up with my high school boyfriend because he wouldn’t stop being a jerk about the fact that we weren’t having sex. On prom night, him intentionally embarrassing me by

~ GAVIN ~Sienna pulled away from me so abruptly, you’d think she touched a live wire. I was going to ask what the problem was when I noticed her staring blatantly at my cock. I didn’t need to look to know what she was seeing. But that didn’t explain why she looked like I had just dealt her the biggest betrayal ever. If I had any doubts about just how unpredictable Sienna could be, this rainy afternoon was erasing all. She had gone from humbly accepting my offer of a warm car, to being a sharp mouth and dishing out verbal blows, to looking at me like she wanted me to immediately spread her legs and fuck her, to suddenly bursting into tears, to even complimenting me, and now glaring at me like the devil just confessed I had been his mentor all along. All in less than an hour. She wiped her tear streaked face with the back of her hand. “I was sharing my problems with you and you were… getting hard?”Fuck me. That was it? My erection was the problem? I would have fallen into a fit of
