It was late, about eleven at night… and I was thirsty, so I rolled out of bed and noticed Gray wasn’t beside me. I strolled out of the bedroom and tiptoed to the kitchen, got some chocolate milk, and then tiptoed into the living room in an effort to find him and felt the breeze before I noticed where he was. The living room and the kitchen are connected and open. Basically, everything on the second floor is open, with no hallways, no walls, just a few well-placed pillars, three closed-off bedrooms, and a wall of windows normally covered by a curtain that hides the balcony. But now it was pulled to the side and the curtains were billowing in the refreshing nighttime breeze. The breeze made my oversized shirt billow as well, raising goosebumps on my bare legs, my sleep shorts not doing much to protect me from the breezes' brisk bite.
He was st

Missing youthChapter ????: Inmate 0214The low hum of chatter within the other cells echoed and boomed but I remained laying on m- bed facing the wall. footsteps approached my cell and stopped.Knocks on the cell bars made it apparently clear that they were trying to get my attention.“Rise and shine prisoner, today's your lucky day.”I rolled over clearly confused…“Wh
“Yeah, I just landed at the airport, are you here?” I looked around at the crowd for a green fatigue uniform with a familiar face but to my dismay, I didn’t find one.“No, but I’m on my way now. Do you have any money for food?”“Yeah, I’ll be fine.”“Good, I’ll call you back in a bit. Go eat.”“Wait, you’re hanging up? Why?“I got to call my buddy and make sure he’s okay. He said he would be landing soon too.”“Uh… okay.”
I walked out of the terminal annoyed. All I wanted to do was have a nice glass of alcohol, but no I had to remain more professional than the old bags forced to tag along with me. My head was pounding from answering drunk questions the whole ride. I had the right mind to suspend them for such behavior, but if I were in their shoes I’d be drunk too.I ordered a drink at the first bar that I found. Good thing it wasn’t two just yet. I arrived just in time for the final call. Unfortunately, I was only able to order one drink.Oh fuck. I need to get my bag.Even so, I made no moves to retrieve my bag just yet. Relaxing in the quiet atmosphere of the airport halls. Then it hit me… Nando dropped me off. I thought about it for a second, my ass
Two Years Earlier…“Welcome! One second and I’ll be right with you.”“Take your time,” I called back over to her. “I’m not in any rush.”I studied the girl behind the counter, her long dirty blonde hair was in a neat high ponytail that swayed and swung as she moved around serving guests their drinks, then it was my turn.“What will it be today?“Preferably a liquid lullaby, ‘cause I’ve had one hell of a day.”“My my, being a soldier boy too much hard work, specialist Sanchez?” The way she said my last name shook my core.
We finally made it to the beach and I couldn’t help but get more and more excited. The water looked so clear and inviting I just wanted to jump in. I looked back at Gray but he was too busy typing away. I shot a glance at Fernando but he was too busy parking. I rolled my eyes and returned my attention to the beautiful waters in front of us.As soon as we parked Gray got out to get his bathing suit from his assistant. I used this time to take off my dress and adjust my bathing suit. Making sure to tie my hip that Gray decided to untie. I peeked at Fernando while I changed and adjusted myself and he wasn’t even looking at me… which wasn’t at all how he would normally react while I stripped right in front of him.Normally he would embarrass or fluster me by being really hands-on, staring at me the entire t
I couldn’t stop my leg from shaking and I couldn't hold a cup of water to save my life either. Ludo and Fernando have both been admitted into the hospital and I have been informed that Fernando is stable… It's Ludo that I’m concerned about. She is the first female I’ve cared about since my last relationship crashed and burned and I don’t think that I could mentally handle another death of a love interest. To be honest, I have more than enough reason to never trust Nando again, never mind the fact that he was already on thin ice before he chose to hurt Ludo in all the ways he has, and at this point, he’s not my friend. If she dies… I will make sure he regrets it for the rest of his fucking life like he fucking deserves.I took four shaky breaths and continued to panic internally, nothing could calm my nerves except for good news about Ludo.
As soon as the car peacefully rolled to a stop I pulled the latch to my door and climbed out pulling her gently by the hand and closing the door. She continued to struggle to hold back her tears as we made our way to the back of the car.“You don’t want anyone to see you cry? Out here is as alone as you're gonna get.” With those words, she then turned her back to me and started to cry hard. Now she was letting it out, now she was letting her pain show. She started to hunch her back and shield her face from the world so I walked forward a step and wrapped my arms around her waist pulling her against me and sitting back on the trunk of the car. After a while, I felt tears prick my eyes as I remembered all the pain I’ve been through and just… sympathized. I tightened my hold on her waist and rested my head on her shoulder, but it wasn’t until I sniffled
“Oh definitely.” I rolled my eyes. He just continued to chuckle to himself before calming down.“Where do you want to eat?” I thought for a bit and debated on what I wanted to eat.“Is there a Longhorn Steakhouse up here?” I meekly questioned, afraid that that might not be available.“Yeah, I think so, why? Is that what you want?” I just nodded in response.“If it's not too much work.”“Cool longhorn it is. Hehe.” The man Gray called Julian plugged the information into the GPS, and started making his way over. I breathed a sigh of relief. If there wasn't a Longhorn I might have suggeste
