What is wrong with you?

ANTONIOShe tasted absolutely amazing. Kissing her felt much better than I actually thought it would be, and I had thought about it for a while now.I finally released her from my grasp and I could see that her eyes were still closed.“You didn’t pull away.”I said it lightly, the words edged with a tease I didn’t bother to soften. I watched the way Aurora froze for half a second before she finally broke contact with me and stepped back.When she looked at me, she was completely lost for words.I could see it in her eyes. The gradual progression of her emotions.There was shock first, then anger. Then something far more dangerous, confusion, tangled with a kind of betrayal she hadn’t been prepared to feel. Her lips parted like she was about to say something, and then she stopped herself, as if realizing silence might be better.I held her gaze.She shook her head once, sharply, like she was snapping herself out of something. “What is wrong with you?”The question came out completely r

That is your great idea?

AURORA“I really shouldn’t be thinking about this.” I said out loud, as the thought looped in my head for what felt like the hundredth time as I lay flat on my back, staring at the ceiling like it might offer me answers if I looked hard enough.My room was quiet in that early-morning way that sort of made everything louder.Sleep had been impossible that night because every time I closed my eyes, it was there.His mouth.The way Antonio’s hand had settled at my waist. The heat of his body, the firmness, the certainty. The way my own body had betrayed me so completely that for one terrifying, electrifying moment, I’d forgotten who I was supposed to be.And who he was supposed to be as well.I turned onto my side, dragging the sheets up to my chin, now as I tried to shield myself from my own thoughts but to no avail. It hadn’t been just the kiss. It was the hunger behind it. The way my knees had gone weak. The way I’d wanted, God help me, I’d wanted him to push me back against the wal

Witch hunt

AURORA“Excuse me?” I asked, wanting to be sure I heard what he just said correctly.He looked at me at that moment and I saw a smirk form on his face. “You heard me.” He said without hesitation.There was a brief pause, as I stood there still bewildered by it all. “Are you okay?” I finally asked, “What do you mean,” I asked slowly, “Let us date?Antonio didn’t respond right away. Instead, he reached for the shirt he’d left draped over the back of a chair and slid it over his head with maddening calm. I watched despite myself, the smooth, unhurried way he moved.“You should think about it,” he said as he fastened the buttons. “It makes sense.”I scoffed now. “It makes sense?” I repeated. “You’ve completely lost it. Oh my lord I am talking to a mad man. You think the best thing we should do is date when the media is tearing my family a new one?”He lifted his gaze to mine, unfazed by everything I was saying. “The internet won’t read you to filth if you become my girlfriend. It refra

Did I just get played?

ANTONIOI watched her walk out of the hotel right before I picked up the phone and pressed it to my ear, as I stared out over the city.“I see you did what I asked,” I said, not bothering with pleasantries as he picked up. Sebastian laughed softly now. “Oh I did much better than that.” He said, “I did everything you asked and then some. It is everywhere.”“Everywhere,” I repeated flatly. “Be specific.”“The gossip blogs, mainstream outlets, Twitter, Instagram. Think-pieces are already being drafted and everyone that thinks they have a voice is talking about that kiss.”That should have satisfied me, but it didn’t. I really wanted to stick it to the old man. This was the only way I could think of to actually get him to listen to me for a change. “I want more,” I said.There was a pause on the line. “More?”“Yes,” I replied, turning away from the window. “This can’t die down in a news cycle. I don’t want this brushed off as a fleeting scandal by tomorrow.”Sebastian inhaled. “Antonio…

Vindictive Ethan

AURORABy the time I reached the landing that led to our apartment, my thoughts were a tangled mess and I was so wrapped up in it that I almost missed the noise.Almost, but it wasn’t exactly something you missed, especially with how raised the voices were. They were coming from the direction of our door and I could already hear Clarissa even before I saw her.“You’re not coming in,” she snapped. “I told you to back the fuck up.”My stomach dropped as I hurried forward.At the top of the stairs, the scene came into sharp focus.Clarissa was planted in front of our door, one arm stretched out like a barrier, her body angled defensively. Her hair was scattered right now, and there were clear signs they’d already struggled because her sleeve was torn slightly at the cuff, and there was a faint red mark on her wrist.And standing in front of her was Ethan.“I know she’s in there,” he was yelling, his voice echoing off the walls. “She’s going to talk to me today or I’m not moving from thi

I won’t help you

ANTONIOSebastian was standing in the driveway the moment I came down from the car. Of course my father had bought a whole freaking mansion even though he had no idea how long he would be in the country for. I shook my head as I looked around at the whole place. This was one thing that I didn’t like. For someone that lived his type of life he shouldn’t be living as lavishly as he did. “Tell me, Sebastian.” I said, as he approached me. “What am I walking into up there.“You’re really not going to like this, Antonio.”“I didn’t drive all the way out here for you to be vague,” I said, adjusting my coat. “Tell me what I’m walking into.”He gave me a sideways look, lips twitching. “If I told you, you’d turn around and leave.” He said, “Besides I am not exactly at liberty to say, especially not here.”I snorted. “Of course you aren’t.”“But,” he added, meeting my eyes, as we continued walking inside. “I can promise you one thing. Whatever you think this meeting is about, it’s worse.”“Of

Suspended

AURORA“Where were you today?” Clarissa asked, as soon as she walked into the house. “Why did you just disappear from school? You do know I was looking for you everywhere right?”From the way she dropped her bag by the door, I could tell that she was already halfway to anger as she folded her hand and looked at me. I was sitting on the couch with a blanket pulled up to my chest and I certainly wasn’t expecting this barrage of questions I was getting. “At least tell me you didn’t ditch,” she added, narrowing her eyes. “And please tell me that stupid boy Ethan didn’t have anything to do with this.”“No,” I said quickly, with a slight chuckle, lifting my hands like I was surrendering. “God, no. Ethan has nothing to do with it.”She didn’t look convinced as she walked further into the apartment, glancing at the time on her phone like she was mentally reconstructing my absence.“Then where were you?” she asked. “Because your professor asked for you in second period, your studio partner s

I have a plan

Andressa was standing in front of the window overlooking the grounds of the mansion with her phone pressed to her ear. She hated it so much over here in New York, she didn’t know why people chose to live here to start with. Everywhere was so noisy and smelly and so much worse than Italy. Normally, she would have been crying to go back home, but she still had a mission to carry out here and it was not even close to finished. She let out a sigh, as the phone rang once again. She was going to have to see it through no matter what. “Mia Bambina.” Her father said, as soon as he picked up the call. It was what he had called her since she was a little girl even though she was not so little anymore and Andressa had gotten tired of pointing that out to him every time. She smiled now, “Hey papa.” He went silent for a few seconds, as he could already hear the change in her voice. “What is wrong?” he asked immediately, “You know how I get when I have to stay in this place for too long.” Sh

Let’s do it

AURORAI rang the doorbell once, as I could feel the jitters running all through me. I had no idea why I was so nervous, I had been here like a gazillion times. Maybe it was because I had a lot on my mind right now which I just needed to unfold with her. If there was anybody that would understand me fully it clearly was her. Seraphin hugged me as soon as she opened up the door. It was a quick hug before I could even react and I felt myself melt into her for a few seconds. Oh how I had missed my sister. I could still see the surprise on her face though when she let me go and she took a quick look at me. “You didn’t tell me you were coming.”“Yeah,” I said, shifting my weight on the threshold. “It was kind of… impromptu.”She pried into my eyes for a couple of seconds, as if she could see exactly what was wrong with me written on my forehead. Her face softened immediately though. “Come in. Come in.”She stepped aside and pulled me into the house. It smelled like home inside.“Somet

Watch the rain

ANTONIOShe was fidgeting again.It was subtle but I had always been good at noticing the subtle things.“How does it go?” Aurora asked, her voice trying for casual and missing it by a mile. “What do we… actually need to do?”I leaned back slightly against the counter, folding my arms as I studied her. She wouldn’t meet my eyes for more than a second at a time, and that alone told me everything I needed to know.She was nervous about the idea of us dating.I had backed her up against the wall by making sure media houses kept hounding her and it was not the best thing ever. I felt like an asshole for even doing it but I had to get my father off my back somehow.Surely, she would understand?“Well,” I said lightly, tilting my head to consider her question “I suppose the most convincing approach would be to start with something simple.”She finally looked at me properly then, brows knitting together. “Simple how?”“Public affection,” I said.Her expression blanked. I pushed just a little
