Speechlessly I stare into his eyes. That question I can’t answer, I don’t know how. Do I still love him or is he just a bad habit? One I keep yearning for, with the awkward silence passing between us and only the melody of the wind brushing through the tree branches as company. My mind starts to replay all the memories we made together. Every kiss, every fight, runs in my mind like a race horse. My head drops as a sigh escapes me. “Honestly……” A brief pause, as I gather my thoughts. “I want too, I want too love you again like I did, but….” I lift my gaze to his. “I don’t know if it is possible and if that means that you won’t help me….” My heart starts racing as a sharp pain clams my chest. “ I’ll have to accept it and figure it out on my own, like I always did.” A faint smile paints my face. “I’ll find a way.” I mumble.Lorenzo let’s out a chuckle, “Oh my sweet baby girl, you never have to do something on your own ever again and I’ll find a way to earn your love once again, because l

There is nothing that hurts as much as betrayal, it hurts in every fiber of your being, it stings your soul like nothing else. To be betrayed by someone you considered your friend, your partner. Is not something you can forget easily.“Michael!” I feel my tears run down my cheeks, the wounds he inflicted were not merely physical, but a deep, emotional gash, a tender scar to my very soul. A trust I once given so freely, became a precious commodity, tarnished by reality. Why? Why him? Of all people, why did he betray me?I want to strangle him with my bare hands, I want to watch the life disappear from his eyes. “Why?” I mumble as I calm my breathing.“Easy, everyone has a price.” Michael smirks as he kneel in front of me. “And he made me an offer I can not decline. You see sunshine, I knew I would never stand a chance with you, not while Lorenzo holds your heart. So when he approached me after you rejected me yet again and told me he can help me remove the problem, I couldn’t say no. H

Facing the unknown is a really scary thing, but we do it anyway, that’s just our humanly nature, we call it live. We do it everyday, it’s like that saying goes, no one knows what tomorrow might bring, well I don’t know what this next few seconds will bring. I don’t know which Lorenzo awaits me, the soft kind and gentle one or the raging beast with flaring nostrils and bulging veins. After everything I’ve been through, all the pain and all the horrors, I doubt there is much I can not face. I’m like a phoenix rising from the ashes of hurt and regret. I’ve been scarred but it will heal.As the car comes to a stop, so does my world stop spinning. My tears has run dry, my heart has stop beating, I’m a shell of a person. Jaxson place his hand on my shoulder as a earnest smile tugs on his face. “His waiting for you in the study.” I give him a small nod. I could run and hide, but for what reason? He saved my life yet again, thanking him is the right thing to do. If he decides to push me away

Everyone has a silent voice, one that wants to be heard but even if it screams we still ignore it. Mine is screaming at the top of her lungs, its like a ringing in my ear telling me to just give in and accept this man. Yeah, that would be the easiest route to take, no drama except that of his murderous family members.“Hey, what’s going on in that head of yours?” Lorenzo asks as he sneaks a peek at me before turning his attention back to the road.“Not much, just thinking.” I replied plainly, as I gaze out my window at the tree line whooshing by as we speed past them.“Thinking? Well, that’s dangerous.” He smirks, he sounds a bit amused.“And what is that supposed to mean?” I ask narrowing my eyes at him as my gaze reaches his smug smile.“No, meaning at all. So where are we going?” He ask changing the subject.“To my mom’s care facility, here.” I type in the address on the GPS and the AI starts guiding him. This will be the first time I’ll take a boy or man to my mom, I just never me

Being alone is scary sometimes, but feeling lonely is the worst of all. Ever since I met Lorenzo I never felt lonely, he filled a hole I didn’t know I had, but when he left my whole world came crashing down and now we are here, at the beginning. His ready to mend my heart but am I ready to give it to him once again? Lorenzo pulls his phone from his pocket and grins. “Come.” He holds out his hand for me to take as he slides the phone back into his pants pocket. A confused frown pulls on my face as I take his hand. “Where to now?” “Dinner.” He flashes me a bright smile as he leads the way. I know I’m not good with directions but the car is in the other direction. “Uh, are you lost?” “Have a little faith, baby girl.” He grins over his shoulder at me as he gently squeezes my hand. We venture deeper into the ancient woods when the path emerged. Adorned with delicate fairy lights that flicker like fireflies in the moonlit night. Their gentle glow guides our way through the woods. My he
