DEVIN   his struggle

~~Devin~~

DEVIN   Are you single?

✏Devin

DEVIN   How about you

Three years later...✏RenA knock on my door sounded, ''I'm coming!'' Fisting my still-wet hair into a messy bun, I took a glimpse at myself in the vanity mirror in my walk-in closet. When I'm sure I look okay, I run to open the door downstairs which might shatter to four from the loud pounding made by the person on the other side.Skipping two stairs at a time, I twisted the knob only to be met by gardens of lilies, Cali's signature scent."I miss you, sissy!" Cali whispered on my neck.Returning my sister's tight embrace, "I miss you more, Cal." she giggled lightly and we pulled apart when Dad walked down the stairs."Daddy!" Cali jumped to our father's open arms and clung onto him like a baby."Your tan is perfect" I complimented her as we ate breakfast.Cali took a month-long summer vacation in Barbados after closing a big deal for Reed Shipping

DEVIN   Please, I love you

✏Ren''Ren'' Cali broke the long awkward silence as I stared blankly at them. I can't believe Cali didn't tell me that they'll be here. She knows how I detest seeing Mr. Reed. She also knows that I would never go to any gathering he was gonna attend.''I need a drink'' turning my back on them, Devin caught my arms before I could walk away.''Ren''''I'm thirsty'''Figlia'' Mr Reed murmured.My back was still on him yet I can feel his eyes boring holes in my being. He had no right to ever utter any word synonymous to daughter to me. There was no father figure in my life but Mom. She took all the responsibility he wasn't able to act on.''I just want to talk to you'' Mr Reed continued to speak, ''I asked Cali and Devin not to tell you that I'd be here.''Mists were forming in my eyes. It was warm here in Greece but all I could see was fog.

DEVIN   Friend and Girlfriend

✏RenGreece is really pretty, humid, but very pretty. I didn't even know that Devin's family owns an island. A whole island!Whew. Crazy rich people.

DEVIN   Say yes

This chapter is R-18********************* ✏Ren Stretching my hands up, it feels so good to have slept properly this time. Although I felt soreness between my legs that wasn’t there yesterday. Oh, right. After confessing my feelings to Devin, we had steamy hot sex. Just the thought of last night ha

DEVIN   Taste

✏Devin ''Why did you do that?'' she whined for the nth time while we drove back to the city. I smell like fermented roses and eucalyptus. A shower would be best in this situation. ''You didn't help me back there'' I retort, Ren huffed.

DEVIN   Married

DEVIN   jealousy

✏Ren He turned his back on me and I took that as a signal to fix myself and get the hell out of his office. Angie gave me a sympathetic glance when I walked in my office. I didn't need her sympathy. What I need is to talk to a shrink to fix my damaged brain.

DEVIN   I want you

✏Devin''For you'' I held out the velvet box in my pocket. We are now on the plane back to Manhattan and the uneasiness I was feeling was back. What will happen to us when we get back to me being her boss?She reluctantly took the box but didn't open it. ''What's
