2. I'd only come back to gather my belongings from the mansion...
3. And get closure from kir by listening to whatever it was that she wanted to tell me.
4. Instead....
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. I find myself moving my clothing from her master closet into a guest room...
Memuatkan…Memuatkan…
1. A cool shudder passes through me and I wrap my arms around my middle.
2. I have no desire to be anywhere near that pool
1. Just seeing the crystal blue water sparkle in the sunlight brings on a fresh wave of pain...
2. And humiliation at the memory of mina's cold glare and icy tone as she informed me, in no uncertain terms, that she was her wife.
3. The word wife, in relation to kir, doesn't resonate.
4. Especially coming from that woman's mouth.
5. I could never see her with someone like her.
6. They just don't fit.
7. And now, her friend aoi...
8. It makes me wonder if I even know her at all.
1. An even better reason to remain friends while I figure that out.
2. I want more with kir. Of course.
3. I want back that raw feeling of sexual energy that flows so easily between us whenever she's near.
4. But I will settle for friends.
5. At least for now, as we navigate this bumpy road we'd found ourselves on.
1. I've finished moving my meager belongings into my new room...but I'm left feeling bored and alone, now...
2. "Hey mom."
3. "What's new angel?"
4. She answers, cheerful as ever, as though she hasn't battled aggressive stage-four cancer for the past several years.
5. "What's wrong baby?"
6. "Nothing."
7. The lie slips easily from my mouth.
1. "I just might be staying here longer than I expected."
2. Her strength and determination to live take my breath away...
3. And suddenly complaining to her about my dilemma with kir seems childish and immature.
4. "Oh?"
5. "Did mrs. Sexy, rich and gorgeous win you back already? Huh?"
6. "Mom!!!"
