“Hey sis” Joan greeted as she opened the door wider for Charlotte to walk in.“Hey,” Charlotte replied in a low, tired voice. Her tone was flat. Her face looked drained. She walked past Joan into the living room, dropped her small purse on a side table, then let her entire body sink into the couch like someone whose bones had left her body.Joan frowned immediately.“What’s wrong? You look like shit. Have you been crying?” She walked quickly to Charlotte and sat beside her, taking her sister’s hand gently.Charlotte didn’t speak.She didn’t even look at Joan.She knew how she must look. The little mascara she applied earlier was probably smeared all over her cheeks. She had rubbed her hands over her eyes several times while crying in the cab. Her makeup must be ruined in the worst way.“Talk to me, Char” Joan pleaded, worry clear in her voice as she squeezed Charlotte’s hand. “Please. You’re scaring me”Charlotte closed her eyes for a second. She breathed in deeply and exhaled slowly

“How do I look?” Charlotte asked her sister as she spun once, letting her hair sway softly around her shoulders.Joan clapped her hands loudly. “Perfecto! You could pass for a professional magazine model… but you are a grapher….” she dragged the word dramatically “... a full time video-and-photography boss, and that is okay too”Charlotte gave her a playful glare. “It’s not that serious, J.”They both burst into laughter.It was almost time for her meeting with Frank. Just like her mother said, he had called her four days ago… that was on Saturday. They fixed a meeting for today, 2 p.m. at Fredel’s Lounge. It was already a few minutes past 1 p.m., and Charlotte was dressed and ready. She wore a sky-blue suit that hugged her perfectly where it should. The white shirt she wore inside made her look fresh, confident, and clean. Her sky-blue heels and white handbag matched with everything she was putting on.She totally loves professional wear as much as she loves casual wear.She brushed

Charlotte felt so tired that her bones ached. Her whole body was heavy as if someone had been pressing invisible weights on her shoulders. She wanted only one thing…her soft bed. Her soft pillow, her blanket, and fifteen hours of sleep. Nothing more.The day had been long. Meeting Frank and talking business with him, stopping at her friends’ place… then afterwards going to her mother’s shop to eat, and it was finally time to go back to her own apartment. On reaching the front of her apartment, Instinctively, her eyes turned toward Johnny’s apartment building across the small parking area.Her heart squeezed immediately. She quickly looked away, almost snapping her neck in the process.No. No. No.There was absolutely no reason to look there. There was no need to think of him.“Someone who doesn’t even care,” she muttered under her breath and rolled her eyes.She straightened her back, lifted her chin like she always did when she refused to let anything bother her, and climbed the fam

Charlotte stood beneath the cold stream of the shower that evening, the water cascading over her shoulders and sliding down the curves of her body. The cold water should have cooled her down, but instead, it made her feel even hotter, her skin tingling with sensation. Her fingers traced over her neck and collarbone, moving down to her upper breasts and then over her breasts as she closed her eyes and let out a soft breath. The memory of him was flooding her mind. It was vivid and impossible to ignore. Every thought, every whisper, every touch she remembered made her pulse race and her body hum with desire.It had been two days since the incident at her apartment. All the chaos and the destruction… was all supposed to be behind her now, but somehow, the unease had settled deep into her chest. Her friends had stayed with her during these days, giving her company, support, and a distraction from the unsettling that had followed the break-in. But they had left today, and now she was alo

They came to a stop when the backs of Karina's legs met the frame of the bed. Chloe pulled back to look at her.Karina loved it when Chloe looked at her like that, like she was the only, most beautiful thing in the world. It made her feel so loved. She knew she looked at Chloe the exact same way because, to Karina, Chloe absolutely was the best, most beautiful thing in the whole world, and she felt so lucky to be hers.Chloe kept her eyes locked with Karina's as her fingers trailed down her sides to the hem of Karina's sweater. Very slowly, she pulled it up and over Karina's head, letting the warm fabric drag lightly across her skin. The air of the room kissed the newly exposed skin, turning every inch more sensitive.As Chloe unbuttoned Karina's top, Karina moved her hands beneath Chloe's t-shirt, lifting it inch by inch as her palms traveled over smooth, familiar curves. She lingered there, savoring the warmth radiating from Chloe’s body, feeling her breath hitch quietly. Karina's f
