Sexual desires

ALEXANDER My sex life has always been messed up…. I have heard someone say there are experiences you can’t ever forget in your life. And just like everyone, I had a few of them. Growing up, my life wasn’t as dramatic as most people thought it would be. In fact, I had a very normal childhood with my parents. Up until I lost my dad. And let’s just say the things I was supposed to learn from him, I had to learn myself. And my mom being absent at that time, I had no one to lean on. As a high schooler, I had just a few friends who I would say were rather exposed. From drugs to girls to illegal racing, they were involved in basically everything and I was just a bystander. Until that day.. It was a day I will never forget. A day that pushed me into a dark depression and guilt… Since then, I had vowed to be as far as I could from anything that concerns women. And then I met Kassia when I was twenty four. Then, she was one of my mom’s trusted busines

Period?

AUDREY My heart sank the moment I ran into him. The time seemed to have frozen as he stared down at me with that annoying smirk. He always had the upper hand and I hated him for it. “Cat got your tongue?” “No.” Observing his body language, I began to retract my steps but it was futile. In a few seconds, I was met with the iron door I had just snuck out from. He began to inch closer and soon closed the space between us. “For someone in her period, you seemed to be in such a hurry.” “Good thing I don't have cramps.” I stuttered, while trying to avoid his gaze. “Something important came up.” “So important..” he took another step. “You had to skip breakfast.” I turned my face away from him because considering our proximity, our lips would definitely touch if I faced him and that was the last thing I needed right now. Okay.. not the last thing but.. Focus, Audrey! “I’m not hungry.” My sentence was followed by a loud growl of my stomach.

The date

AUDREY Background song: Stay ready by Jhené Aiko, Kendrick Lamar. As Alexander descended the stairs, my breath hitched the more and heat rose in my body, flooding my cheeks. I didn’t even realize I was drifting backwards until he was merely inches away from me. “Hazel.” Don’t fucking call me that. “Huhh?” “How do I look?” He drew closer. “I didn’t really want to do suits today.” And honestly, I would have suggested you trashed all your suits. You look good in them, but you look fire in this outfit. I nodded frantically. “You look okay.” “Thank you.” As he stepped away to grab his car keys, I exhaled quietly. God! Get a fucking grip Audrey. These damned sexual hormones be messing with my head. I must be ovulating. “Let’s go.” He urged, picking my bag from where it sat. “Where are we going, Alex?” I needed to know the gravity of our proximity and how I could deal with it. He stopped midtracks and turned to me. “What?” I

Sunset

AUDREY As someone who grew up in one of the coldest parts of the world, I loved the sun a little too much. Maybe because I didn’t have the chance to enjoy its rays as much as the people who lived in hot areas. Or maybe because I loved the fact that whenever it came, the world seemed like a better place, illuminated and brightened. Whatever it was, the sun made me feel safe. My paint brush grazed the white canvas on the painting board with touches of light orange and purple, as I was trying to recreate the elegant muse in front of me. The soft music lingering statehood background soothed my soul, eliminating all traces of reality. By the time I was done, so much time had passed and the sun was finally gone. Slowly, I put down my paint brush and took a pen, then scribbled the name jimy on it. I sit back to stare at my masterpiece and my heart couldn’t help but shatter at the thought of my dead sister. Jimmie had always wanted me to paint the sunset for her. Then, sh

Peace

ALEXANDER For goodness sake Hazel. “Add her bill to my tab.” I gestured to the bartender as I picked up her stuff from the counter, and secured them in her bag. “Hazel.” She made a small sound in response, snuggling closer to me. Alcohol, tiramisu, vanilla, her body scent.. I might as well go crazy before tomorrow. I knew I had this coming when I left with Miss Gold despite Hazel’s foul mood. Now I was going to pay the price. “We have to go home.” She shook her head negatively then proceeded to push me. “I thought you were with Miss Gold.” The name was pure sarcasm coming from her mouth. “Hazel.” I moved closer to her and held her hand waist. “I didn’t know she would take that much time.” “Ohh please.” She mocked. “She seems like a better date than I am.” Was she throwing a tantrum? “We will talk about it when we get home.” My eyes met hers… damn she looked so inviting with her sleepy gaze. “Uh..uhh..” she protested again. “W

Ruined breakfast

AUDREY After dabbing the last powder on my face, I wore some perfume and stepped out of my room. I had been confined to it since last night and was beginning to get bored and hungry. Although the thought of making my own meal terrorized me, I had no choice but to do it. Charles had some market runs to do and Alexander was away for a business trip. It’s been barely two weeks but I already miss him like crazy. Which I knew I wasn’t supposed to be doing. I didn’t even know when he would come back. “Get a fucking grip, Audrey.” I had to mutter to myself while rubbing my cheeks which always turned red at the thought of him. On getting to the kitchen, a loud sigh escaped my lips. Maybe I should do something simple, I thought. If I could toast some slices of bread, scramble a few eggs and whip up some salad, then I can comfortably make some orange juice to go with it, or even warm milk. That was what I thought. But after twenty minutes of rattling around in
