Blood Orange Novels & Stories

"Finish the oranges like a good boy." His face fell, and I sighed softly, leaning closer. "Wouldn't you like to look your best for your father? Oranges are rich in vitamin C, which is very beneficial for your health. Perhaps you could eat now and then offer some to your father when he wakes? It might help him recover more quickly.” I suggested, and it worked. He, without a doubt, picked up the slices of orange and gave one to Cadence before eating. However, just as he was about to eat, a hand suddenly appeared and snatched the slice of orange from his hand, throwing it away.

'I asked around and the guys told me that it could be a tumour. Jesus Christ…. ‘I’M FINE.’ I glared at the road ahead and received a sigh of defeat from my left. Then, the car moved steadily out of the business district and headed for my apartment building. ***** I paused and shifted back into the passenger seat and turned to the future star of B.A.D. ‘Tangerine suits her, OK?’ Ambrose chuckled. ‘The only fruit she takes is watermelon. Cause it's pink.’ ‘That's a surprise. And I meant the shade, silly. Tangerine suits her skin tone. Trust me. She’ll glow beautifully in it.’ I beamed appreciatively at him and got out of the car, back onto the pavement.

I diverted my attention back to my son and asked, "Do you want me to peel it for you?" "Yes, please." So, I peeled the orange and then fed him. "How?" "It's sweet." "This kind of orange has a sweet taste." The staff chimed in, making our focus return to him. "Next to this also has a sweet taste, while the tree over there has a slight sourness. But it’s still good, especially for making orange juice. It would give freshness to the taste." He continued with the explanation, referring to the tree on the right and the one after it.

Instead, he stood as cold as the ice. "Give it a try, Dan. I know you are quite fond of oranges. I went to the fruit shop to buy it just for you. And let me tell you, it was very expensive." Sonia acted coquettishly and hoped that would placate him. She peeled an orange and tried to put it in his mouth. When he didn't open his mouth, she tried to force it in, completely ignoring his dark eyes. "I have checked it carefully. These oranges don't contain either dye or chemicals."

At this time, Emily asked softly. Mark glanced up at her, then waved his hand impatiently. Emily then showed a relieved smile, when she was about to retreat, Lisa suddenly remembered something, hastily handed over the basket of oranges she had brought. "Wait a minute, I'll give you something good." Emily stopped to look at the thing in her hand with a puzzled expression. "Orange?" This is a good thing. "Don't underestimate this orange. This orange is beautiful and good for the skin. Eating one can make you a year younger." Lisa smiled at her.

What she didn’t know— was that this small act— would make him far more dangerous tonight. Soon, they arrived at the fruit-gathering area. Clar’s curiosity flared. She wanted to pick everything—but the original owner rarely left the cave. Her memory held almost nothing about these fruits. She looked at Lucas helplessly. “I know the orange one—Luna picked it before. But what’s this red one?” Lucas explained patiently. “The orange one is Sweet Fragrant Fruit. The red one is Sour Fruit.” She picked one and tasted it. Sour— very sour.

He knew the flowers were blooming and that the pink was beautiful this time of year, so he was excited to show the orchard to her. They could be seen from the mansion so he didn't hold her hands, but he bumped into her with his shoulder often, and showed her many things on the way to his favorite part of the orchard. “This is the only orange tree in the entire garden, even though I have oranges almost every day. We order those from the next pack over. They make the best oranges. I have lived here my whole life, and I had at least four of my shifts at the base of this tree.”

I told myself as I walked back into my office. As the weeks slowly went by, I woke up the morning of my birthday and sniffed around, smelling something...amazing. I got up and dragged myself to the kitchen, only to find Beth, Paul, Sarah and Paul's boyfriend, Max gathered around the table. "She's going to wake up soon Max, she's a morning person! Get the fucking Orange Juice!" Paul snapped, pushing him away from the table. Max laughed at Paul's outburst before going to the fridge and pulling out the Simply Orange brand, the only orange juice I would drink.
