Who would believe that he was actually sick and had been pacing about the room for a while now before making a call to Gaby? He smiled and shook his head. That was the Gaby effect. Every single person has their own effects. Someone who once you call them and you are not in a good mood, they try to make you feel better. He had someone like Gaby to do so for him. He picked up his phone and cleared his throat. He was about to call Silver which meant that he had to be at serious as possible otherwise she would get really mad, madder at him than she was.

Beatrice chipped in. "Mom, can we start eating now? I don't have time for all these discussions," Anthony said, still finding it hard to suppress his anger. "Don't mind Anthony, Lerisa. We understand his annoyance better when he's moody like this, so don't allow that to ruin your friendship with him, and with us, okay? You can visit us here anytime that you like," Mrs. Beatrice smiled sweetly at Lerisa, and Lerisa replied, "Okay, ma."

Mike started, "but I've been pondering about how to act in public." Beth was nodding her head, causing her perfect rack to bounce slightly. "Yeah, I've been curious as to how we would behave in public too. I mean, we were all talking about having sex with Mike over breakfast. Science has shown that there are signs that people pick up on when someone is involved with someone else. I think it might be good to test the waters, see if we can... behave ourselves, besides the fact that we haven't been dancing in awhile. Sarah, usually the one to decline invitations, was vigorously nodding her head. "I think it's a great idea. I don't necessarily think it'll be any big deal to try and keep our hand

One of us has to stay on the straight and narrow, because only one of us has the most to lose if we stray. I close my eyes for the moment, drinking in all the details and committing them to memory because I know it must come to an end. At least for now. I bring my hand up to cup his face. “What I want is for you to behave.” I pat him lightly on the cheek before untangling us and making my way back to our table.

Beatrix’s threat. “Go ahead.” She seems to enjoy challenging Beatrix. “You animal!” Beatrix yelled again. “You taught me to be an animal, so you should be happy!” Beatrix was silent for a moment and was nervous when Clara’s voice rose up. She feared that Aldrin might just be around and listening. If Aldrin is really sleeping, he might wake up. She quickly hung up the call as her whole body trembled. The anger and fear mixed together, so she behaved like this. It’s the first time she feels like this, and she feels like she’s about to be attacked by depression.

"Did you think I would allow you to flaunt your figure in front of other men at my parents' anniversary? Tell me honestly, did you buy this gown to attract attention at the party? This is the type of outfit that women wear in public places to entice men." "What?" I exclaimed, taking a few steps back. This was Taylor, my boyfriend, sitting in a wheelchair. Just a few weeks ago, no one would have imagined him moving around his house with a broken leg. It was still unbelievable that he had suddenly taken up intense exercises to strengthen his muscles merely two weeks before his parents' anniversary, only to end up breaking his right leg in the process. "You seize every opportunity to reveal you

The door to Lindsey's hospital room had opened at some point, and Stephanie strolled in leisurely. Her complexion was healthy and rosy. She didn't look at all like someone who had just recovered from a serious illness. Lindsey sneered, "The two weeks you spent at the hospital… It was all an act, right?" "So what if it was?" she replied smugly. "Jacob would kill or die for me as long as I put on a pitiful act. Very soon, I'll be standing proudly by his side."

I said making their eyes widen. It was no surprise that my bestie Shannon was not to be messed with. She was one of the fiercest lawyers ever known in our region. "Bull shit. You don't even know her." The other receptionist says. "Do I?" I said as I pressed the FaceTime button, making Shannon's face appear on my screen. Their faces paled, making me feel smug. "Not so bad for a country girl, right?" I said as Shannon chuckled. "You're such a baddie!" Shannon added, making me throw my head back as I chuckled, walking out of that office.

I closed the door and leaned against it, exhausted. “That went well,” Derek said. “It did.” “No fights. No tears. Just... people trying.” I smiled. “That’s all any of us can do.”

We are both frozen at our spot, just waiting for something to happen and we both know, it's something we doubt. I don't know what the hell is going on in my mind nor his. It's as if we can't even move away and just stay still which is pretty crazy. Never would I be frozen at my spot when my best friend is trying to kiss me or lean forward and do things I've never imagined but for some reason, I can't move away. I can't stop him, either. The truth is, he's my best friend. I can just push him away or slap his face and pretend it was a sudden gesture but here I am, staring into his eyes and glancing his lips, only waiting and provoking him to continue whatever he has in his mind.
