DIRTY CHRISTMAS AT MY BEST FRIEND'S PLACE
This Christmas was supposed to be quiet. My boyfriend cheated earlier, bluntly, and I was left with nothing but heartbreak and resentment which now reeked from within me.
I planned to spend the holidays curled on my couch, watching Tik Tok, scrolling through my social media accounts, anything that wouldn't make me cry.
But then Chloe, my best friend, invited me over. Her family's place was warm, full of life and exactly the escape I needed. I never expected anything. Definitely not him.
Dominic Callahan. Chloe's father.
I've always noticed him, strong, distant, way too captivating for someone his age though he never looked twice at me.... until now.
I noticed the change. His eyes lingered longer. His words slower, even his stare. The air between us became tighter.
I assured my self it was greif.... My emotions were taking a better part of me. But when he kissed me, I didn't refuse. When he pulled me into his room, I didn't say no. And then it became a normal thing.
Everything in me flagged it wrong. Chloe didn't deserve this betrayal. But my desires didn't care about rules. And neither does her elder brother.
Now, before Christmas lights go down...I'm with child.
I only came for peace.
But I found obsession, dirty secrets and something way too dangerous to name.
This was supposed to be my holiday escape....so why does it feel like the beginning of my doom?
