Atlas Lackadaisy 소설 & 이야기

A tear rolled down my cheek as I recalled the memory. "You were not good for her. You never have been. All you've been to her is toxic," Daniel said, still looking Adam in the eye. Adam bent and picked the bat from the floor, sending it flying through the air as he hurled it towards Daniel. I covered my mouth as a scream erupted from it when I saw that the bat had missed Daniel only by inches.

The rest of the day went by in a blur for me and I couldn't really concentrate. On the ride back home, Atlas keeps turning to look at me but he doesn't say anything to me He noticed my absentmindedness but didn't know what to say about it. “Are you okay?" He finally asked after a while and I turned to look at him. “Huh? Oh, I'm okay.. yeah, I'm okay. I just have a headache from thinking too much," I told him and it wasn't even a lie, I truly had a headache.

They love it, buying a house away from all the New York noise and settling for a beautiful home out in the country. "Ok, I guess it's time we make our way out before we lose our plane. You guys ready? Say bye to mom and dad?" Loretta says to Aiden and Emily. They stand, Aiden is a bit reluctant to turn off his game until Jake gives him the look. He gets serious, but honestly Aiden has just as big of a temper as he does. Aiden turns off his console and walks towards us.

But do not blame me, it feels like I am in the middle of a dream that I had never imagined would come true. Atlas held me up and sat down putting me on his laps as his eyes dug directly in to mine. “Why does this seem so unreal to you? Is it because of how weird I am?” He asked me. “What? You’re not weird!” I protested. He scoffed and rolled his eyes. I have never seen him doing that before. “Yes I am!” “No, you’re not.” I insisted. Atlas sighed. “I am weird and you know it. I act like a ghost. No emotions, no expressions, I am weird.” He said.

Heather's response held a hint of amusement, her eyes sparkling with a mischievous glint as she made her way to join Atlas. After a seemingly interminable wait, Heather's phone buzzed with a message from Atlas. "Sorry I took so long, I got lost. This building is huge. Are you hungry?" Heather read the message and couldn't help but smile, her anxiety dissipating in his presence. "Probably, what am I, a snake?" Heather's witty retort elicited a chuckle from Atlas, and he couldn't help but admire her quick wit. After some damn good waiting moments of Heather, the man finally showed up.

I hope that pretty widow is smart enough not to actually ally with Dylan and sign her own death warrant. … After the subordinate left, Atlas’s phone buzzed. Seeing the caller ID, his rough face softened with a hint of indulgence as he answered. "Missing me, baby?" Atlas answered sweetly, his tough-guy persona melting away. On the other end of the line, a sweet, sultry voice whined, "Baby, you haven't been visiting lately. Have you found someone new?" Atlas chuckled. "You're my one and only, my little star. Be patient, baby. Once I take care of some big business, I'll spoil you properly."

Atlas and Lance are sitting together, sipping drinks, when a group of girls rush up to them. They’re all smiling and giggling at Atlas, but the grumpy man just ignores them. He acts like they don’t even exist. “Whatever,” one girl rolls her eyes and walks away. “You think you’re the prize?” another scoffs, clicking her tongue. “I’m married,” he finally speaks, flashing his ring. “And my wife is very… not friendly.” “Oh, so you’re the loyal type, huh?” another jokes, biting her lip. “Loyal men turn me on,” one whispers, winking at him.

Fast. Violent.

One thing Atlas notices is the fact that the other eleven men look healthy and strong, but all act like ninnies. They only ever do what the buxom lady asks them to do, and all their eyes are hazel and look painted on. They all neither blink nor yawn. The only thing that shows that they are not statues, are the mechanical things that they are doing. Like spooning the tomato soup into their mouths and biting into the bread.
