“Love insists the loved loves back”

Chapter 11

“Sophia LOOK. That’s me right there!” I squealed pointing at the picture of me in the magazine. I smiled as I looked at the picture of me, I could barely recognize myself. I was staring straight into the camera I had annoying pieces of hair that fell in my face, I wore the turquoise sports bra with a jump rope hanging form my shoulders. “Bitch scream on more time and I swear I’m gonna choke you out.” Sophia replied, this is when the laughter erupted and I could feel my blush when I looked up and saw everyone staring at us. 

“See, they crazy guys, always yell at each other.” Larry sighed and the crowd laughed again. Sophia and I had virtually nothing to do today so we went to the workshop with the twins. After I looked up I couldn’t take my eyes off of Larry. His hair was twisted and tucked underneath his black snapback that had a metal plate on it that said ‘ratchet’. His tank top was black and white and his arms glistened with sweat. I almost fell out just looking at him. 

“Sorry guys, just a little excited.” I shrugged, and a few laughs continued. “Back to your dancing.” I said, staring straight at Larry. He winked at me before turned and teaching his side of the class again. I looked over at Sophia and she was fixated on Laurent and his theatrics. His grey tank was soaked with sweat and he continually thrust his hips trying to show his side of the room a move, I laughed at the high pitched noises he was making. 

I wanted to talk to her about that until something shined in my peripheral. I looked down at her hand and gasped. My thoughts were right for once. There’s a little diamond ring on her ring finger.. I shook my head and she noticed my confusion. There was a hallway leading to the room we were in and I motioned her to follow me out there, she glanced at Laurent once before closing the door behind her. 

“What is it?” She asked, crossing her arms over her chest. I don’t know why she has the attitude but I know that the roles with definitely switch. 

“Explain.” I sighed, leaning back on the wall, crossing my arms. She looked at me for a moment and I could sense the wheels turning in her head. “The ring... You’re engaged?” I said, a little louder than expected. “Sophia what the fuck!” I yelped and her head dropped. I took note of my tone and brought it down a to a whisper. 

“Me and Ben are engaged.” She picked at her nails as she spoke, letting me know how uncomfortable she was. “I really do love him Evanna.” 

“You do?” I tilted my head as I asked, trying my best to control my serves. 

“Yes.” 

“Are you sure?” My eyes narrowed into slits as I spoke and pushing myself off of the wall. 

“Yes E I don’t know why you keep aski-”

“You know why I keep asking you this. Why isn’t he here with you?” She shook her head and turned away from my glare. 

“He has to work.” She sighed, and I let my chuckled pass my lips. She really isn’t shit. 

“So where were you and Laurent last night?” If possible, her expression dropped even more as I spoke to her. 

“Sophia what the fuck is going on? Why are you doing this to Laurent, and Ben!” I caught myself yelling again but this time I didn’t really care. “And were was that fucking ring earlier?” I pointed at her ring as my blood boiled. 

“I left it in my hotel room,” She whimpered, finally looking at me. 

“Sophia I don’t know what to say to you.” I rubbed my temples to try to calm my nerves. 

“Evanna I think i’m falling in love with him.” She dropped her eyes to her ring again and I closed my eyes and took a series of deep breaths. 

“I can’t do this.” I shook my head and started to walk back into the dance room. 

“Evanna please, I want to tell you but you won’t understand!” She choked the words out as her eyes glossed over. 

“Hell yeah I don’t understand! i probably never will. Benjamin is the best fucking guy you’ll ever have in your life! He’s been there since high-school and now you just want to give that all up, and string poor Laurent along! What the hell is going on? You fucking crazy or something?!” I stopped as the door swung open and Laurent walked out. His face dropped when he saw the distress of her facial expression. 

“What happen?” He asked, and I shook my head, failing to contain the low chuckle that passed my lips. I looked at her pleading eyes one more time before taking the door from his hands. “Sophia has something to tell you.” I scoffed, entering the room and closing the door. 

If could be a storm cloud following me around, I’m pretty sure everyone could see it. I slumped down in the chair and played games on my phone, trying my best to keep my negativity to myself. I only looked up to see were the workshop was at. I watched Laurent come in, his expression was serious but it was nonchalant, relieved even. After an hour I knew Sophia left. I just hoped she solved this whole situation. 

I didn’t even notice the workshop ended, until Larry grabbed my attention.“Baby you ready?” I looked up from my phone and smiled at Larry as he gripped the magazine I was flipping through earlier in his hands.  “What are you doing with that?” I could hear my smile as I spoke, I could get used too this. Being happy all the time sounds like something I would love. 

“I like this one.” He held out the page with me in lingerie and I laughed and shook my head. “Only you Larry.” I rolled my eyes playfully and tried to grab the book from his hand but he was too quick and moved it away. 

“You have this?” He asked, I felt my face flush and I looked down at my feet. “So you do?” He, chuckled and help the magazine farther away from my reach. “Wear it for me?” He laughed when I tried to jump and grab it from his hands. 

“Larry give it back.” I whined, poking out my bottom lip and crossing my arms. “That’s my first big time magazine, I need itttttt.” He chuckled and tiled his head.

“All you gotta do is say you wear it for me.” He chimed, waving it over my head. “Fine.” I sighed and he still held it away from me. “Okay Larry I’ll wear it for you.” He smiled wide and handed it back to me after he pecked my lips. 

“Where did Sophie go?” He whispered in the crook of my neck as he swayed us. “She went back to the hotel, she had some things she needed to take care of.” I sighed and watched Laurent bop around to music as he picked up his stuff. “Let’s go,”

___________________

I carefully pulled the hotel shower cap off of my head as Larry stepped in the steamy bathroom. Stood behind me and watched me inspect myself in the mirror. “What?” I asked, picking up my change of clothes from the counter. “Nothing, I can’t just look at you?” 

“No.” I snapped, rolling my eyes playfully and holding my folded clothes to my chest. “Well, you naked, I’m gonna look.” He said, smirking at me as I rushed out of the bathroom. I picked up my fallen towel as my phone began to ring. i dropped the clothes on the bed and quickly wrapped the fluffy towel around my naked frame. 

“Hello?” 

“Hey E, is Stink okay?” I sighed as soon as I heard his words, it’s Ben calling to check on his future wife. He’s the only one who can call her that. “I haven’t heard from her ever since she left.” 

“Oh she’s fine she’s like one door down from me, I can go see what she’s doing.” I struggled pulling on my clothes and I ended up just grabbing a t-shirt dress and pulling it over my head.  “Did she tell you the good news yet?” He said, excitedly and my heart crushed. 

“Yes! I’m so happy for you guys, I love my new brother-and-law.” He laughed when I said this, his laughs are always contagious. 

“Evanna, hate to break it too you but, you and Sophia are cousins.” He said as I hopped around trying to put on my sneakers. I finally managed to get the other shoe on. “I don’t care what you say I’ve always been her twin sister.” I chuckled, I mouthed to Larry that I’ll be right back and I began to walk to the door. 

“Sayyy, have you met the family yet?” I asked, opening the door. Sophia was there already, her eyes red and puffy from crying and her hair was all over the place. I gripped the phone close to my ear. “I met some of them but-”

“What’s wrong?” I asked, looking into her eyes. 

“Huh?” Ben asked

“I’m pregnant.” If my eyes could pop out of their sockets I’m sure it would have happened by now. My gasp was noticeable and I heard Ben ask me what the problem was numerous times, but I tuned out everything. I sighed as she began to sob. 

“Evanna what’s happening?” Ben asked, concerned.

“I’m gonna have to call you back.”

***************

Chapter 10

afrosheeba is my procrastinating buddy. 

Today is girls day. 

I don’t know how Sophia managed to fly out here to spend time with me but it’s greatly appreciated. We really can’t spend long periods of time without each other. We’re in weird pajamas watching movies and eating junk food...well not me.

“You know what’s bonkers?” Sophie asked, smirking as she popped a gummy bear into her mouth.

“What? You saying bonkers? Cause that’s fucking strange.”

“Nah, what’s bonkers is you eating broccoli out of a bowl like it’s fucking popcorn. That’s not real food hun. Eat bitch.” she chuckled, pulling her large hair into a bun. I looked down at my bowl and laughed, she won this time. 

I did plan on getting her back though..

“Sophia don’t play with me.” I said, tugging at the zipper of my onesie. I glanced at myself again, laughing at the brown face mask I've managed to wear thanks to Sophia.

“Is Ty ever giving you that surprise?” That brought back memories I didn't want to think of, I brushed it off even though it stayed in the corner of my mind.

“I don’t know.” I shrugged, sitting up to change the movie. I was staying in London until the magazine came out, which was in about two days. Giving me plenty of time to relax and enjoy myself. I clicked on the movie The Princess And The Frog and got a howl in approval. “Dumb ass.” I muttered, laughing when she glared at me. She laid across the hotel couch, her feet landing in my lap and I used them as a stand for my bowl. 

“You know you can like...chill with the diets right?”

“Actually, I have a shoot as soon as I get back to the states since you know so much about my life.” I snapped, glaring at her through narrowed eyes and popping more broccoli into my mouth.

“Fine.” She huffed, sliding further down the couch.

“You know what?” I asked, Sophia tilted her head up to let me know she was listening. “I think i’m gonna name my kid Abel, like later in life.. If it’s a boy...” I trailed off, her loud cackling cutting off. 

“Evanna you’re so stupid, don’t name your child after The Weeknd now that’s TOO far.” She howled, shaking her head and turning her attention to the computer screen again. 

“I like The Weeknd” I murmured, popping another broccoli in my mouth.

 I whipped my head towards the door as a knock sounded.

The list of things of embarrassing things that happen to me is pretty much infinite.

“Dammit.” I loudly whispered, grabbing my phone to check if I should be expecting anyone. I looked at Tyler and I’s conversation and saw the typing bubble, so I reluctantly pushed her feet off of my lap and began trudging to the door. “Just don’t get it E.” She whined, poking at her face mask. “Shut up.” I snapped, looking down at my phone again, only to be met by the typing icon again. I didn’t bother looking through the peephole and it’s a bad habit of mine.

I kept my eyes on my phone as I slowly opened the door. I nearly dropped the thing when I looked up. “Holy fuck.” I screamed, slamming the door. I couldn't believe what I saw, I thought I was going crazy. I looked at my phone again before the person behind the door knocked again. 

Tyler: Surprise.

This is real, perfect.

I quickly opened the door again and dropped my phone as I jumped into his arms. I cringed when I heard the smack of my phone on the tiled floor. I didn't check on it because I was too busy flipping out. “Larry.” I cooed squeezing him tightly. “Eva, I wasn't ready.” He breathed, setting me down and laughing at my appearance. I blushed and looked down at my onesie clad body and shrugged. “I would kissed you, but” he paused and gestured to the ugly facemask I was wearing. “Where’s Laurie?” I asked, nodding to the door so he can come inside. 

“Lau is in the lobby, he bring too much stuff.” He said, stepping inside behind me. 

“I was waiting for you guys to come back.” Sophia pouted, crossing her arms around her chest. I smirked, knowing she was containing her inner fangirl very well. “You got a room here?” She asked, sitting up and walking over to give him a hug. He nodded and he giggled when he saw what she looked like too. 

“Girls day” She shrugged, and pulled back. “Is Laurent coming too?” She asked, playing with a loose strand of her hair. She smiled wide when he nodded. 

“Well I’m gonna rinse this shit off my face and go to my secret place and get some food, I’ll bring y’all something back.” Sophia said, grabbing her things and heading for the door. “You leaving like that?” Larry asked, amused with the whole situation. She looked down at her fuzzy pink pajama pants and her white tank top and laughed.

“My room is a couple doors down.” She shrugged, waving at me before pausing in the doorway and wriggling her eyebrows suggestively. “Don’t have too much fun kids.” She cackled, I scowled at her even though I laughed. 

“Fuck you, get out.” I giggled and she slammed the door. “Larry, stop laughing at me.” I chuckled, pushing him playfully. 

“You always talk to her like that?” He asked, playing with the zipper of my onesie. “Uh, yea pretty much.” I shrugged “It shows our love and affection.” 

“That don’t look like love.” He chuckled, kissing the top of my head. 

“You of all people should understand, I've seen how you and your brother argue.” I said earning a laugh from him. 

“He start it though.” He replied, wrapping his arms around my waist. I almost nuzzled into his chest but I forgot about the shit on my face, so I leaned back cautiously. “I miss you so much Eva.”

“I missed you more Larry.” I whispered, looking up into his eyes. 

I need this stuff off my face................. now. 

“Larry, I need to take a shower. Why don’t you go find your brother and I’ll come down when I’m out.” I suggested, even though I wasn't really giving him a choice, i’m going to shower regardless. 

“But I want to stay with you.” He whined nuzzling his head in my neck. 

“You can, I promise it will only be ten minutes.” I pleaded, slowly moving away from him.

“Nine minutes?” he asked pulling at my zipper

“Ten.”

“Five minutes?”

“Larry.” I scolded, narrowing my eyes at him. 

‘Okai fine.” He huffed, dropping his arms down. “I’m mad at you if it more than ten.” I smiled, and kissed his cheek, laughing as he pouted again. I pulled my arms from around him and jogged to the bathroom to clean myself and plan on how to not look a hot ass mess every time my boyfriend comes around. 

I quickly scrubbed my face mask off and washed my body. I scrubbed some shampoo in my hair. I chuckled to myself because this was going to take way longer than ten minutes. I closed my eyes and let the warm body trickle down my body. I let all my stress pour down the drain and rinsed the last of my shampoo out of my hair. My eyes flew open when arms wrapped around me and a soft kiss was placed on my neck. “Larry?”

“You take too long.” He stepped forward, snatching the washcloth from my hands and pulling me closer to him. “I miss you.” He said before turning me and crashing his lips into mine. I can already feel my heart melting and my knees turning to jelly. I wrapped my arms around his neck as he pushed me up against a wall and began attacking my neck. He lifted me quickly and my legs naturally wrapped around his waist. I moaned softly as his lips wrapped around one of my nipples. I wanted to cry when he set me back down to stand I think he noticed this because he smirked. “Turn.” I decided that I’ll never be prepared for what he has to offer, even if we've only had sex once. 

I’m probably right too. 

Soon my front half was pressed against the wall as Larry positioned himself at my entrance. Before thrusting in with such force, I’m surprised I’m not through the wall and in someone else’s hotel room. “Larry” I moaned as he found a steady rhythm along with The Weeknd’s sultry voice pouring from my speakers.  I would be laughing right know because I made a bet Sophia that I was going to fuck to this song one day.

 I have finally checked that box on the bucket list and Sophia owes me twenty bucks. I needed something to grip on but the tile of the shower offered nothing and I was sliding up and down the wall with each thrust. Larry soon stepped forward embedding himself deep inside me. Knowing Sophia could walk back in the room and hear us gave me the urge to roll my eyes but Larry’s fingers touching my clit sent that thought flying out the window. 

Do you like the way I flick my tongue or nah? You can ride my face until you dripping cum Can you lick the tip then throat the dick or nah? Can you let me stretch that pussy out or nah?

“Oh God Larry.” I whimpered as he began to drag out his thrusts slowly and of course it was perfectly in sync with the music. He groaned when I clenched around him. I wouldn't be able to take this any longer. I was close and I was trying my best to hold on but I couldn't, I prepared for death when I felt my orgasm wash through me. I screamed so loud I was sure the mirror shattered and the lights busted. But when I opened my eyes everything was still intact and Larry was still torturing me.

This was going to be way more than ten minutes.

_________________

I was literally in the shower long enough for him to bring a change of clothes and slip in there with me. 

And I really thought it was only going to take like thirty minutes.

I sat on Larry’s lap in his shirt while he played with my wet hair. This is when I finally heard the door swinging open. “Ya’ll didn’t want to put up a do not disturb sign or something? Dayum, a bitch got a whole outfit while you were at it.” Sophia yelped, smirking when she saw my clothing. “Actually i was kidding. I just went shopping because i felt like there was going to be a little ‘reunion’” She said, dropping her shopping bags at her feet. 

“You owe me twenty bucks.” I chirped, not taking my eyes of the computer and grabbing my leave-in conditioner from the arm of the couch. “Didn't even get the fucking food.” I mumbled, crossing my arms. 

“Wha.....” She trailed off and I looked at her as she connected the dots. “YOU DID NOT.” She screamed, I laughed at her and looked back at confused Larry, he didn't know about our bet. 

“Yes I did bitch.” I sang, wiggling my hips only to be stopped my a harsh grip on my hip. I turned and slowly trailed my eyes up his body, starting at the hem of his tank top that highlighted every outline of his muscles, to the tattoos on both arms. Up to his neck, that was missing his neckwarmer and finally stopped at his face.

“Don’t start something you can’t finish.” He whispered only loud enough for me to hear and I flushed. I smiled and turned back to Sophia who was digging in her bags, pulling out articles of clothing. “Hey Sophie, I’m gonna need my twenty.” I smirked as she froze. 

“So you really fucked to The Weeknd?”

“Yup.” She raised her eyebrows in disbelief and looked up to meet my serious face. 

“Or Nah?”

“Yup.” I shrugged and she sighed loudly before grabbing a twenty dollar bill from her purse and walking over to me only to throw it at me. I narrowed my eyes at her and she looked past me at Larry. “You keep an eye on her ya hear?” She paused to look me up and down. “Fucking freak.” I laughed as combed my hair and Larry wrapped his arms around my waist. 

“That means we’re a perfect match.” I called behind her as she walked out “Right Larry?” I asked and he nodded, we both laughed Sophia as she stopped walking to scowl at us. She was about to go camp out in her room until a knock at the door sounded. “That’s Lau, open it” Larry said, running his fingers through my hair again. I turned to glare at him but I was interrupted by an high pitched squeal. I turned and saw Sophia beaming and freaking out with Laurent in front of her.

 I chuckled when her face lit up and I can admit that I was excited too. I watched as Laurent swooped her up instantly, swinging her around as he hugged her tight. I would go to him but I didn't want everyone to witness me on wobbly legs or the ‘good dick walk’ as Sophia would say. Eventually he put her down and gave her a sloppy kiss on the cheek and jogged over to do the same to me. “LAURIE” I screamed as he picked me up and swung me around, Larry’s little chuckles sounding behind me. “I miss you Eva.” He said as he sat me back down I wobbled a little, only Larry noticed, I could see him smirk in my peripheral. “I missed you too Laurent.” I nudged his shoulder and resumed my seat on Larry’s lap.  

Larry and I sat and watched Sophia and Laurent interact with each other. I couldn't really understand them, Sophia was in a committed relationship even though she was crazy for Laurent. I love little Benjamin and she does even more. Her loyalty shell is indeed cracking. 

I shook my head and grabbed my phone to order a pizza, that I was going to force Sophia to pick up. I began braiding one of my french braids as Larry played with the hem of his shirt I was wearing. I’m guessing it’s because he can’t play with my hair anymore. 

I listened to Sophia’s cute little giggles range to ugly cackles as Lau told her stories about all the workshops they went too as they were gone. They eventually came and sat on the couch with us. I smiled and looked around at everyone cuddled up around my computer watching Naturo. I finally finished my other braid and pushed my hair stuff on the floor to lay back on Larry. I got a loud sigh from Sophia in refusal. “Evanna go put that up, you lost it last time and I’m not gonna deal with that.” I groaned loudly but admit it was true. I had to stop leaving my shit everywhere because my favorite brush was somewhere across the globe. “Fine” I huffed and got up from my comfortable position.

It wasn't until I started walking until I realized that Larry made me forget how to walk properly. I hobbled around to the door of my bedroom, I heard Sophia whisper “Look look look. It’s the good dick walk.” Before everyone erupted in laughter. I ended up joining in as I finally reached my suitcase. I wobbled back out with my arms crossed and a false scowl planted on my face. Everyone silenced once they saw me standing there and I could tell laughs were being held in. 

“Fuck you.” I chuckled, breaking the silence with laughter and everyone joined in.

One day she’s going to get enough of annoying me. 

“You love me though.” she cooed as I took my seat on Larry’s side. I looked at her snuggled into Laurent’s side and wigged my eyebrows. I’m definitely getting her back. 

She’s just going to have to win now. 

“I really don’t” I giggled, looking up at Larry as he watched the glowing screen of my computer. I smiled and looked over at Laurent and Sophia as they continued to stare at each other.

I wonder if she knows how she’s gonna get out of this one.

feedback or nah?

Who even says or nah anymore. 

For: ladyluckyy​ A long ass chapter for you boo

- “If I could give you one thing in life, I would give you the ability to see yourself through my eyes. Only then would you realize how special your are to me.”

Chapter 9

As soon as he asked I regretted bring it up. “He has problems….. I’m sorry you had to be there when that happened.” My voice increasingly shaky.

"So this things happen when I’m not there?" He asks stiltedly. I stumble for a response that won’t completely freak him out but I have to tell someone.

"I mean.. He used to, but it’s not a problem anymore. He just showed up out of nowhere and I-"

"Evanna, I want you to tell me the truth." I need to do this, I can do this. I have to do this. After one sigh I felt the tears welling in my eyes, all my emotions flooded out. I told him everything, from the beginning, to the present. He was silent as he listened, he waited until I was done so he didn’t interrupt.

Alec was so special to me. I met him in the beginnings of my career and he was my everything. He did anything for me and he was the most loyal guy I’ve ever dated. He was gorgeous, I tired to get him into modeling but he said it wasn’t his thing. He made sure that I would follow my dreams, even though he was most likely going nowhere with his life. He didn’t go to college, and when his parents had disowned him he made it known to me that I was all he had. I was there for him, whatever he needed. The more I had to fly out for photo shoots and meetings is when he became possessive. He would go through my phone and ask me who the people trying to contact were. He started going with me everywhere, if I’d go to the club and other people would try to talk to me he’d show up and shoo them away immediately. It became too much for him and he eventually stopped letting me out with my friends. I was too scared of him to protest.

The one day, I went through his bag and I found needles, I kicked him out. I deleted all my accounts to prevent him from tracking me. He started showing up to my photo shoots unexpectedly, apologizing and trying to get back to were he was. When I told him to stop following me I came back home and everything was scattered all my things were everywhere. He came back apologizing and pleading and I finally broke it off. He stormed in, breaking more of my things and punching the walls and shattering the vases of flowers he bought me every time I was gone. I convinced him to stop and I told him I didn’t love him anymore and tried to kick him out. He hit me so hard that I laid on the floor sobbing. He begged and pleaded with me again and I told him that this was it, he had to stop. He apologized again and promised to leave me alone. He pleaded with me to not call the authorities, he would lose everything. So I sympathized with him, and let him leave.

But I had no idea that he continued to follow me.

I did everything in my power to try and keep him away. I changed my number, my email. I even bought a new house and a sold my car. I had every intention on keeping him away. How he found me was just mind boggling.  I thought he might get the point but then again, his mind isn’t straight and his system isn’t straight either. He does need help. I can’t deny the fact that I still have a place for him. But I need to forget him for good so that I may heal, and enjoy my new life and move on with someone new.

With someone I really fell for.”He does, have problem. But you problem is him. You need to keep him away forever. You mine now and I don’t want to hit anyone else.” He said sternly, earning a light chuckle from me. “You need to do the restrain order okai?”

"Okay Larry I will. But when will I see you again?"

"I come back soon."

"When?"

"When you leave?"

"In about a week."

"We come back that week then."

"Larry, don’t y’all have workshops?"

"We have time E." I masked my chuckle at his use of my nickname. "You talk to me like you know me boy."

"But, I not see you until you do the restrain thing. I promise you of that." He says, completely dodging my words. I fail to hide my scoff even though he’s right. I decide to do this today,  I needed to get this off my mind.

The adrenaline pumped in my veins as I prepared to walk on the runway.

Almost butt ass naked

Oh and it’s aired on national television

I paced back and forth in place as the line shortened.

“Evanna fucking stop it! Damn.” Tyler yelled, startling me. “You’re making me nervous just watching you. You’ll be fine.” I said, I groaned loudly in disapproval, ignoring the annoyed stares from the other models behind me.

“But Ty, what if I fall? trip? What i my hair gets in my eyes? What i I have a nip slip.. Oh God I can’t have a nip slip-”

“JESUS CHRIST! SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.” Tyler screeched, earning a few laughs from the people who were listening to the whole debacle. “You’re out in the next two minutes and I can’t have some scared shitless model out there! I need MY Evanna, the fabulous bitch that gives everyone life.” He said sternly, turning his back from my shocked expression. “If it makes you feel better.. I have a surprise for you after the show.” I beamed with excitement but as I was one person away from walking I forgot how to form words.

I haven’t seen the twins in a two months now and I’ve been literally losing my shit. Of course he couldn't come see me like he said he could.

I’ve flown out to London for the fashion show and the magazines go out in three days.

The Skype calls and text’s aren’t enough.

I have a certain need for closeness and it’s making me dysfunctional

“Evanna you’re up. NOW come on go go” Tyler yelped, jolting me out of my thoughts. I smiled as he gently pushed me through the curtain leading to the entrance.

These few months have been HELL. Angel school, the diets, photo shoots, and flying, and body contouring and body sprays. I was either sleeping or talking to Larry in my free time, him not being here to help me makes me even more antsy.

I made sure my smile looked as natural as possible as I pranced out the entrance of the runway. Taylor Swift was close by singing her fucking heart out. I contained my composure well as I strutted around in the baby pink lingerie, my father wasn't going to like this,  but he’d be proud. I made sure that I walked in sync with the music. I grabbed the sheer robe as I walked to make sure if would flow wide behind me. I stopped at the end of the runway and smiled as I posed and winked at the camera as I strutted off. Taylor Swift got close to me as she sang and reached out for my hand, I smiled as our hands dragged apart as I walked off.

Once I made it backstage I squealed as I did a little happy dance. Cleo rushed over to hug and congratulate me. “How was your first walk?”

“Perfect” I cooed giving her a big hug as I jumped and down. I could barely fit my arms around her because of the large gold wings she wore.

“Alright E chill bitch before you snap an ankle”  She warned, earning a laugh from me. “Go change, go, go, go” She said, shooing me away.

I quickly ran to the dressing room and the assistants helped me out of the first outfit and onto the next. I sat with the other new models and took selfies as we celebrated our first show. I was literally acting like a kid now and I’m sure I was getting on everyone’s nerves, but I didn't care. I was happy.

“EVANNA, THAT WAS FUCKING PERFECT” Tyler shirked, running over and puling me into his embrace. “I knew you can do it, I’m so proud.”  He said, shaking me. I found this hilarious because they put us in sky high heels and I was towering over little 5′6 Tyler. I was probably close to Larry’s height with these damn shoes on. “You’re on in 15 so fix yourself.” He said sternly.

I adjusted the multicolored sequin bodysuit they put me in and I pulled my straightened hair from my back as they put the bright pink wings on me. I wasn't nervous now, I was excited though. I waited for my turn again and smiled wide as I pranced out onto the runway. I held my arms up in triumph as I walked and blew a kiss at the camera once I reached the end of the runway.

There was one more look before the finale and even though I loved this, I couldn't wait to get out of these crazy outfits. The last outfit was particular my favorite. It was a black sheer corset embedded in black lace with matching black thigh highs, with high black pumps of course. Tyler handed me the pearl necklace and diamond earrings that I had to wear. Now I was just waiting for my part again. I was back stage and took some pictures with other models and I got some in with Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande. I feel so accomplished in my career. My mother would love to see this. I’m pretty sure my family is watching this. I want them to see it. I want them to see how happy I am.

I pose in the line with other models to wait for Taylor and her model she was walking with to make her appearance.  I smiled I as walked by her as she smiled back at me. I pointed at the camera right before making it to the end of the runway. I smiled over my shoulder for my pose and strutted off. Everyone else hurried backstage to take of wings and adjust outfits and quickly walked out for the finale. Everyone was grouped in whatever their outfit theme was. We all smiled and laughed as the crowd roared and whistled and clapped. I raised my hands to touch the balloons that fell and catch some of the glitter that fell with them.

I practically ran off that runway. I was ready to go back to the hotel and take a fucking nap. I was planning on enjoying some time in London since Larry wasn’t coming back anytime soon. I quickly changed into some sweatpants and my Victoria’s Secret Angel jacket. I want back to my vanity and found presents, from the Victoria’s Secret headquarters. They gave me many perfumes and lingerie and cute swimsuits and clothes. I was in love with everything they gave me and I thought about how I might wear these for Larry one of these days. They gave everyone presents because most models left with the large gift bags as well.

I flopped down on the couch in the lounge area with Cleo close behind.

I thought about what I just accomplished with a smile on my face. The way the crowd applauded me a, the adrenaline. Ariana Grande telling me how pretty I was and telling me her story about how she almost go knocked over by a set of wings. I practically floated down the runway as it lit up as I walked. This was a dream come true and I never wanted to wake up.

“No afterparty?” Tyler asked looking at us in our lazy clothes and he was still dressing clad in his suit.

“You fucking nuts? I’m tired, I’ll pass. Right Cleo?” I asked, she nodded her response and tossed me a bottle of water.

“Suit yourselves then.” He retorted with a huff, making me and Cleo chuckle. He rolled his eyes and he began to turn and walk out.

“Don’t have to much fun Ty!” I called behind him. Earning a wink and the sassiest snap I’ve ever seen in my life. 

“Soooo tell me about bae.” She cooed

"When was the last time you saw him?" she questioned. She could read me like a book. She knew exactly what happened but she wanted me to tell her the details, every little thing. I paused as my regret made a huge lump in my throat. "Three days…" I trailed off "What the hell E! what happened." she yelled.

“Well I got caught up in rehearsals, shoots, sleeping-and just, all this Cleo.” I paused to look at the frown on her face that wasn't budging.

“You need to talk to him.” She said, sternly folding her arms on her chest.

“Okay. I will” I groaned, getting up to find a quiet area. I found a room between backstage and outside and it was pretty quiet and dark so no one would hear my conversation. I pulled out my phone and began to power it on.

“Hey babe.” I recognized the voice instantly,  I froze, squeezing my phone in my hands.

“What are you doing here.” I asked, backing up as he got closer to me. “How did you get here?” I asked, my voice shaking.

“Don’t worry about that babe.” He cooed with a smile that made my stomach churn.

“I couldn't miss my baby’s big day. Unlike that other nigga.” He said, before running his fingers through my hair and taking the ends and sniffing deeply. “I just can’t believe you Evanna.” He said, inching closer to me until I was pinned against the wall. His grin was devilish and sinister and I hated it. I hated him. I turned away from his face as his nose brushed against my skin.

“Stop.. Please.” I whimpered. All I could do was ask, no one could hear me scream from here. I yelped as he wrapped his fingers around my wrists and pushed me into the wall.

“A Restraining order Evanna! A fucking restraining order? You think that can keep me from you baby?” He screamed, making tears well up and fear rest in the pit of my stomach.

“Alec, please. Not here..... Not now.” I pleaded, looking into his eyes only to find them void of emotions. He was gone, I wanted to run but I had nowhere to go. “You’re hurting me.” I said, unable to control the tears from trailing down my cheeks. He looked over to my wrist that was bruising from his grip and chuckled dryly. He looked at my other hand pressed against the wall with my phone in it’s grasp. When the screen lit up he pressed my arms hard against the wall and stared straight at me, I turned to avoid his gaze.  “Al, you’re hurting me.” I repeated, looking into his cold eyes.

“Nothing can keep me from you.” He said, kissing me on the lips. When I didn't kiss him back he pulled away. He frowned when he found nothing but disgust in my eyes. “I will always find you.”  He whispered, trailing his nose down my neck.

“Al, you need help.” I whispered, causing him to still his movements and look at me agin. “YOU NEED HELP.” I said, only I screamed it this time. I tried to move my arms and fight him off me, but I was pinned to this spot.

“YOU LOVE ME.” He screamed, finally releasing my arms and turning towards the wall. It was dark and the only light emitting from the room was from the exit sign.

“No I don’t.” I said sternly, bracing myself for anything he was going to do. “I love Larry. I hate you Alec.” I basked in my triumph as he began t break down and cry. “Leave me alone. I hate you.” I said, only to be winded as he picked me up and slammed me against the wall.

“You know you love me Evanna.” He said as tears ran down his face.

“I’ll never love you again.” I whispered, my heart pounding in my chest. “Fuck you.” I screamed as he threw me down to the floor like a ragdoll and slapped me in the face.

“Stupid bitch.” He said breathlessly. “You will always love me.” He said, pushing me back down as I tried to sit up. He looked at me one more time before running back inside the building. I ran out behind him only to find a sea of people. He was gone in a matter of seconds.

I never wanted to wake up.

"Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice. But falling in love with you was beyond my control."

Chapter 8

I got discharged as soon as I woke up. 

I remember when we'd have superbowl parties and my father would invite all his friends and my mother and I would help serve everyone. Me and my mother spent extra quality time on these days, all the boys would be so into the tv and it gave us so much time to ourselves. I am the youngest, and I'm also the only girl out of three boys, so I got a little special treatment. We'd go shopping and lock ourselves upstairs and do makeovers and she would let me vent about boys when my dad wasn't around. I miss those little moments alone, when we'd just talk about everything and tease my father and his crazy friends. Dr. Henson included, he was my father's close friend and Daddy wanted no one else but him to be my doctor. He wanted no one else prying at his "princess's pretty face". Him and my mother called me princess like it was my name, and they would do it in public just to embarrass me. I miss it when they called me princess, I miss them together. I miss my family as a whole. My mother leaving broke it, destroyed it completely. The pieces slowly come back together as time passes, but no one forgets what's missing. The most crucial part will always be missing.

I have abnormal sleep patterns. Yes. 

Most nights I literally never sleep, I just lay in my bed and let my thoughts control me. I think so much sleep doesn't cross my mind. I sleep when good things happen. 

I slept when Larry happened. 

They weren't there when I woke up, they had a flight to catch to Dubai. I was sad that I couldn't say goodbye, but the fatigue I was feeling helped me push those thoughts aside. All I could think about was sleep. Surprisingly, Ben and Sophia were able to help me get in the bed. We earned a few stares on the way up the elevator but it's just a normal thing when I'm with them. Our relationship has no boundaries. Well except for the stalker part that no one fully knows about. But I'd like to keep it this way. 

I woke up in the comfort of my bed, the layers of covers engulfing me in warmth. I jump when a loud banging on the door interrupts my peace. I slowly get up out of bed and let the warm covers pool at my feet. A voice echoes through the door as I trudge over. 

"Evanna Lee you better open this damn door" I fail to hide my smile as I recognize the snappy voice. Tyler is my agent, more like my caretaker. He's always here to guide me . He doesn't care about his timing and pops up unexpectedly all the time. He doesn't take no for an answer but he will gladly reject anyone. He's very complex but simple. And sassy and annoying...

"Tyler?" I whisper, my voice raspy. "Yes girl open the door." as soon as I open the door his scold turns into sympathy as he examines me. "Jesus Christ E. What happened to your head?" My smile drops when I realize what happened wasn't just a dream and I pulled a hand up to touch the bandage on my head. I remember that I'm in front of my agent and put a smile on my face. The happiness never shows in my eyes, but no one knows it isn't real. "Oh, nothing I just fell. I'm clumsy you know this. Come in." I open the door fully to let him in, he kissed me on the cheek, walks over to the wine cabinet and rolls his eyes. "Exactly how I left them. Girl, do you even drink? Why do you have these?" he questions, pulling a bottle down. I let out a light chuckle when I shrug my shoulders. "They're actually for you when you come over. I don't drink at all." He lets out a groan and signs as he pours his glass. 

"Please don't lie to me E." "What? I-" 

"You know those guys have fans? I know what happened." My smile drops and my heart sinks when turns the screen of his phone towards me, showing video of Larry running towards Alec when he sent me to the floor. "Why did he hit you like that?" 

"It's a long story." 

"I've got time." 

"It's personal."

"I know everything about you except for this."

"I-I"

"Evanna just shut up. Why did he fucking hit you?" 

"He just needs help Ty." 

"Just like you need help for not filing a restraining order. Yes?" 

I look away from his smoldering gaze and fixate on the video replaying on his phone. "I just don't want too." 

"Evanna this shit is never gonna end if you keep letting him back into your life! What do you expect? He's crazy E-"

"He's not crazy."

"You're crazy for believing that." "Ty-"

"You know he still shows up to your shoots?" My face stiffens even more, my stomach twists into knots. I never saw any sign of him for six months, and all of a sudden he shows up again but he didn't just show up again, he's been seeing me all this time. Maybe I was blind to the fact that he would never leave me alone. "I have to ask Buddie to keep him out. This is it. Your career is growing Evanna, you can't let him get in the way to ruin it again. This thing that's coming, it's big, I mean REALLLY BIG. And I know your not ready to talk about him yet, but in order for me to help you move on, you have to keep HIM. Out." 

I struggle to find the right words to respond. I open my mouth to speak, but I'm yielded but a his hand. "Go freshen up, I'm taking you out of this lonely ass place. How do you live here alone?"  I giggle as he observes the open space. I live in a large penthouse, with many modern features, but so much empty space. 

I never liked to talk about my finances. I was always the rich kid in school, but it always went unspoken. Like everyone knew, but no one told. My mother was a prosperous lawyer, and my father, you guessed it. A doctor. My father always told me to humble myself, and never talk about money or how successful my family is. My brothers in fact, did it all the time. They always bragged about the money and kids started hating me, it didn't matter what I did. The excuse would always be, 'Because she's rich.' or 'It's okay if Evanna breaks it because she could replace it.' and 'She's pretty but she's so conceited all she does is talk about money.' I never spoke of my families ranking and I held a very small circle of friends. But words seemed to always surround me. So I dissolved my bubble of insecurity. I opened up, I talked more I joined in conversations and I was even varsity cheer captain in high school. My outlook on people completely changed when I learned that no matter what you do, there's always a positive and negative way to look at it. So my smile conceals my feelings, my laughter hides my pain, and my modeling hides my guilt. 

"I don't know, I just like being alone in big spaces. It's relaxing." I reply blankly. "Whatever man. Go shower." he snapped, shooing me away with his hand. 

I left Tyler by himself when I scurried back into my room. I walked into the bathroom and stare at my reflection. I look different, aside from the bandage I look comfortable. I'm well rested, it's helps I guess. I turn the water on in the shower and slowly take the bandage off. It resembles a scratch, it's not as bad as I was thinking but I have given it enough time to heal. My hair will most likely cover it anyways. 

"Do you always take long showers?" Tyler whined as I finally walked out. "Yup pretty much." I decided to dress up today, I wore a white lace bracelet and a baby pink bodycon skirt with some metallic gold heeled sandals. My hair draped over my shoulders and framed my face perfectly as planned. I left my face to nothing but mascara. Ugh  "Dayum girl. Someone wanted to be cute today, do a little spin for me." I flipped my hair and quickly pivoted, and we laugh in unison. "Sooooo, where are we going?" A mischievous smile rests on his lips and he pushed his glasses back to their place before redirecting his attention back to his phone. "Somewhere.....eh-nevermind. It's a super surprise. We go shopping and then to lunch." His smile growing as his fingers tap the screen effortlessly. That just made me think of my phone. Where is it? I haven't used it in at least two days... I scurry back into my room and find my phone on my vanity, safely plugged into it's charger. It's turned off and the case is broken from I'm assuming the fall into either the floor or the road. I take the case off and toss it in my purse, and practically run to meet Tyler in the parking lot. This man has zero patience. 

I tune out to the music on the radio and drift off as I stare out the window. Music just makes me think of Larry when he was in that suit swaying to the soft music as he looked at me. I haven't seen him since that day I was falling in and out of sleep. I miss Laurent too. I miss their bickering, and yelling. "So you and this Larry guy are a thing now?" Tyler asks, tapping his fingers on the steering wheel. "Yea..." I trail off "I miss him a lot." He lets out a low laugh and shakes his head. "I know you do, he just seems special. You're thinking about him right now aren't you?" I can feel my cheeks flush red when my smile emerges, like I've been caught. "Of course, You're so boy crazy." 

"Whatever Ty. I'm really crazy for this surprise." I said, signaling quotation marks around the 'surprise'." I quip "Oh shut up, just enjoy the trip. You don't need to know anything." I chuckle and take my phone out my purse. We arrive as it powers on. 

One hint of my surprise was to buy nice gowns for some upcoming events that I still have no Idea about. We just sat in the food court of the mall since I didn't give my diet any mind for the past few days. I got a veggie smoothie from this healthy place and eagerly waited for my surprise to be revealed. 

"Jesus girl, I'm going to tell you today so please stop bouncing your leg. You're shaking the whole table." He snaps, placing a firm hand on my knee. "Sorry. Tell me." 

"Ugh fine. So, I've been looking at some requests for you..." He trailed off and frowned at me. I returned his stare confused until I realized I was bouncing my leg again. I stopped bouncing my leg and gestured him to continue. "So there was one in particular that took some special interest in you..." This trailing off is going to annoy me. "AND?"

 "And they would like to send you out to the coast of St. Tropez for a shoot." I mentally thanked myself for getting back on track with my diet. "AND, if they really really like you. Hehe I know they will. Then you will be featured in their HUGE I mean HUGE fashion show in London. I made you buy the gown for the pink carpet and the ceremony." Wait.... 

"Hold up... Who is this?" 

"Victoria's Secret..." I almost choked on my smoothie, I sprang straight up in my seat. "TYLER ARE YOU SERIOUS!" I screeched, causing some people to pause and look over. He laughed as he nodded, his face turning bright red from laughter. "HOLY SHIT. I'M GONNA BE A VICTORIA'S SECRET MODEL!" I screamed even louder, earning a few claps and laughter from the people enjoying their lunches. "E... Shut up." he huffed, barely able to get the words out from his laughter.

 "Oh my God, Oh my God OH MY GOOOODDDD!" I yelped, I stood up from my seat and started dancing in front of the table.  This is a dream come true. Tyler is now laughing hysterically as more people look around and he has his phone out recording me.  "Okay Okay I'm done." I chime, blowing kisses and bowing to my small audience. Earning a miniature applause. I take my seat slowly and watch Tyler recover from his laughter. A few people pass by and congratulate me and I finish my smoothie and he's still laughing.  "How are you gonna date a dancer. One of the best dancers in the world. And you can't dance?" he blurts, his laughter intensifying.   

"You done?" I ask batting my eyelashes in annoyance. "Yea, let's get out of here." he snickers. 

After he dropped me off I just wanted to sleep. But I was too excited to even close my eyes. 

When I thought about it, I never checked my phone. I basically disconnected from everyone else. As soon as I picked it up it was buzzing with a Facetime call from Sophia.

She answered the phone silently and her face fills up the frame. "Girl." 

"What?" I question "Why are you being weird."

"Bitch.... YOU'RE A VS MODEL FAM!" she screeched, making the camera buffer. "I know I'm so happy. I had a little dance off. Tyler sent you the video?" "Girl yes. You're so stupid. But I would've done the same thing. I'm so happy for you E." I nodded and flopped into my bed. "Have you talked to Larry lately. He was really worried about you." I sigh my response and touch the scratch on my head. 

"I just don't want to talk about it and I know he's gonna ask me." Her expression softens as she stumbles for something to say.

 "I mean, sooner or later you're going to talk about it. Now may not be the right time. But you'll have to tell someone. You can't shut everyone out and just give us little details. You just-" "Sophie I'm not telling you. I haven't told anyone and that's how it should be." I watch her eyebrows furrow. "Evanna you have to tell someone. He's going to want to know why he just knocked this nigga out, and why he just happened to stroll in there screaming at you and scaring people. You haven't told him anything about him! he could have been your dad for all he knows. And still you just don't,-" "Sophia I'll take care of it. It's really none of your business anyways. You don't understand." 

"Yea I don't understand because you didn't tell me anything! I can't understand." "Sophie I'm-" "Bye Evanna." she says, ending the call immediately.

And just like that, my mood is back to shitty.

Her words are right, but I choose not to except them. 

I don't want Alec to ruin this, my career is about to reach its peak. I can't have the people who love me distracted. I can't tell them that he still bothers me. and I can't tell them that's he's been abusing me. I can't tell them that he stalks me. But sooner or later I have to tell someone, I'II have to do something about it.

I have to file a restraining order.

Larry: I had to leave Eva. Sorry

Larry: call me when you up oki?

Larry:  I hope you oki

Larry: You was snore really loud when we left. 

Larry: I love you 

Larry: I'm going on the plane now. 

Larry: It's morning are you awake

Larry: Sophia said stop calling cause you sleep forever so I love you bye. 

I couldn't help but giggle at his broken English but admire his eagerness to know my well being. I decided to call him. 

"He-" "Eva? you okay?" he asks, shuffling noises in the background. "HI EVA!" I know that's Laurent. "Hey Laurie," I coo, earning a groan from Laurent and a giggle from Larry. "I'm fine Larry, I miss you."

 "I miss you more. You go somewhere? Sophia say you got  a big meeting. Somewhere." "I do, it's really important." I reply, "I'm not going to be back for a couple months." He sighs really loud at this, I hope it's because he misses me or because he want to go too. The other end goes silent for a few seconds, no more background noises. Giving me a chance to speak my feelings. 

"Larry?" 

"Yes?" 

"I wanted to say sorry, for all of that. And you know, thank you, for protecting me-" I probably shouldn't have mentioned him but, I need someone to know. 

Someone needs the whole story. I don't know if it's the right choice but it's a start.

"Who was that guy. Why he hit you?"

"I love you more today than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow."

- So sorry for the wait. Won’t happen again… Hopefully

Chapter 4

"And I just told him that I loved him." her mouth gaps wide open. "Evanna, you’ve only known him for two days. How do you know he’s not playing you? I’ve heard about those twins." I giggle at her. "No you haven’t" I roll my eyes at her statement. I’m backstage with my favorite lazy clothes on, stage makeup still intact. My hair drapes my shoulders and a part of my face. Relaxing in the comfort of the dressing room with Cleo. One of my best friends. 

We just finished a big runway show today. I never get the chance to do runway shows because the runway models are large gorgeous sticks. To sum it up they can’t handle this booty. Basically. I’ve been rejected to runway shoes because I’m too “curvy” for their liking. So sorry I’m not flat up and down. Cleo in fact, is one of the best runway models out there. She’s way more experienced than me, which is fine because she always haves the guidance I need.

"When was the last time you saw him?" she questioned. She could read me like a book. She knew exactly what happened but she wanted me to tell her the details, every little thing. I paused as my regret made a huge lump in my throat. "Three days…" I trailed off "What the hell E! what happened." she yelled. 

*********

And there I laid…. frozen, slowly processing what I just said. The warmth of my bed not offering me any comfort.

"I-I have to use the bathroom." I burst, I would take my phone, but it’s still in Larry’s hands. I quickly jump up and run for the bathroom, I need a break. This is too much. Larry almost instantly catches up with me. I feel his hands grip tightly on my arm pulling me back. "You don’t need to go to bathroom. You lie. Eva." I take a deep breath, because I have to spill my guts again. I hate speaking my feelings, it makes my body do abnormal things, it makes me believe that things are going to work out, but it’s not and it never is.

I might have slight commitment issues.

I’ve been cheated on and dumped numerous times. I get dumped because I have no time to spend with my partner because of work. I get cheated on because I’m selfless, I’m too nice, men think I’m vulnerable. So whenever a relationship starts, I warn him. Whenever they start getting angry from me not being able to be there I drop them. I have to work that’s not an option, if they can’t cope, they can leave. 

There was one guy who refused to leave. My crazy obsessive ex boyfriend Alec, and he was the most gorgeous man I’d ever met until Larry. And I loved him so much..

It all started when I had to leave for work. He would show up to my shoots with flowers. It was sweet at first, but I never exactly told him where they were. He would text me every minute of the day and if I didn’t tell him my whereabouts, he would be at my house, throwing full out temper tantrums about how much he loves me and how I belong to him.

When I broke up with him, it was chaos. He was screaming and sobbing and breaking everything he bought me, including my phone…. Which he didn’t buy. I told him to stop and that he has changed from the man that I loved to something evil and possessive. He had gotten so infuriated with me that he punched me. Hard. Leaving a large bruise on my face for weeks so I couldn’t work. I decided not to call the cops, because I still had a place for him in my heart and I believed he could change. 

No one else knows about what happened. When I told him I wasn’t going to call the cops, he agreed to leave me alone.

But something like that. Could never happen again. No more failure relationships. 

Not another.

I had gotten side tracked again. “What’s wrong Eva? Why you hide?” his grip on my arm loosening. “I’m not hiding. I just gotta pee.” I look away to avoid his gaze. He tugs my arm, forcing me to look his way but then surrender back to the door. “You lie again. E-” “This can’t happen.” I said, my back still facing him. I feel his eyes on me but I ignore it. “I can’t love you. It’s only been two days. I’m probably just confused. It’s too soon and I don’t even know if it’s real or not.” my arm still in his grasp. The silence consumed the room, all you could here was the sound of rain from outside. “Is not too soon.” he said under his breath, he said it so quietly I wonder if I was even supposed to here that. “Hu-” “I love you too Eva.” 

I can’t control my inner little girl. I spin around as my smile consumes my face. “Really?” my smile huge, pretty sure my face is red by now. “Yes Eva why you think I miss you so much after only three hour.” he laughs at me again. I chuckle to myself because he knew how long it’s been since he last saw me. “You make me happy when you tell me this because I feel same way. You just hide from me.” he pulls me to him, my head naturally resting on his chest when his arms wrap around me. “Remember what I say? You never need to be shy with me.” I relax in his arms and listen to his heart pounding away.

Does he get nervous around me? He would never tell me even if he did. "Okay Larry I’m sorry" I smile up at him and bring my head back on my resting place. Dang it’s cold. I shiver in his arms uncontrollably. “Baby, you cold?” I take a moment to process the new name. I like that, scratch that. I love it. “Yea, it’s really cold in here are you cold?”  he laughs at me again, I look up at him to see whats to funny. 

"Nope I not cold. You cold because you don’t have on any clothes Eva." he laughs drumming his fingers at the apex of my thighs. Keep it cool E, keep it cool.  I feel my body shiver even more. That helps. His hands move to the back of my thighs. “Stop that, it’s already cold your not helping.” I snap, Way to keep cool E reaaaal smart. "I’m sorry." his smirk wide, he slowly drags his hands back to his resting place on my back, grazing my ass in the process. I glare at him, "You don’t like it?" I keep staring up at him so he can answer himself. He knows I like it. 

"W-What do you think Larry?" I ask, my stuttering earning a nerdy giggle from him. I’m still shivering, his smirk widens and he continues blessing my thighs. I loosen my grip on him "L-L-Let me go turn the heat on." I try to get away, but he wraps his arms around me before I can make it out. "No. I not done." I try not to look phased but I guess it’s not working cause the damn smirk is still there. He lowers his face down to mine and I meet him halfway. His plump pillowy lips from heaven. How I love them so. My legs are shaking from the shivering and now it’s worsened because I’m standing on my tip toes to kiss him. His tongue grazes my bottom lip, I partially open my mouth, inviting him in.

But little did I know what I had just gotten myself into.

When his tongue entered my mouth I felt my legs start to give out. He quickly sweeps me up, my legs wrap around him as he lifts me off my feet. 

I know what happens next I just hope it doesn’t happen, he’s gotten control of me. It’s too early E. Too late man, can’t hold back now. 

I ignore the constant foreboding in my mind. Our lips remain locked as he presses me up against the cold wall. I feel him smirk on my lips. 

This is wrong, This is really really really bad. 

Hey, at least I’m not cold anymore.

His fingers trail up my thighs as his hips gently grinds against my center. He relocates his lips to my neck. 

No.

NO

NO

NO

I hold in my moans as he devours my neck. His hands creeping my thighs again. Sending more chills up my spine, he’s come to know I love that. I’m trying my best to hold in my voice my breathing becoming more frantic. He presses a soft kiss on my chest and looks at me. His eyes glowing from the light outside. He ruins the moment, “Feel good Eva?” this evil ass smirk makes a return. I don’t know if I can open my mouth without my whimpers escaping. I don’t really care which way my head is going, I just nod. I’m instantly let down when I feel his body disconnect with mine, and the cold of the hardwood floor connect my feet.

"La-" he cuts me off and places his lips back on mine, backing up into the bed, the softness of my messy bed surrounds me as I grip his shirt and pull him down with me. He brakes our lips and tugs at the hem of my shirt, silently asking my for my permission, I nod and his smirk comes back.

He slowly pulls my shirt off, dragging his hands up my body with my shirt. “You so beautiful,” he plants more more sweet kisses on my neck.

Enough with this. 

"L-L-Larry I don’t think I-" before I get the chance to reject him his hand is rubbing my center through my panties. I struggle to contain my whimpers, He leans up to whisper in my ear "I want to hear you" I gasp as he moves in slow circles around my clit. I’m sure my the lace i’m wearing isn’t hiding my wetness. "Evvvvvvaa?" he questions as he slides his hands under the fabric and the cold of his fingers circle my opening,  my moans instantly audible. "Even your voice beautiful Eva." My heartbeat is irregular by this point. "Do it again." my body shudders when his fingers enter me and my moans escapes me. He showers my neck with kisses as his fingers thrust in and out of me. His free hand reaches behind me and unhooks my bra, quickly tossing it across the room. The clasp on a sports bra is the best invention, thank you.

He speeds up his pace when he takes my nipple in his mouth. His I look down at him only to see his eyes on me. My moans bouncing off the walls. I let out something close to a scream when my orgasm closes in on me. He gives me a quick kiss on the lips before pulling his fingers out of me. 

The warmth of his body is no longer on me.

My eyelids become heavy and I struggle to keep them open. I spring straight up when I feel a soft kiss on my thigh, his breath tickling my center. “Larry!” his hands pushed me back down. “Calm down Eva. I just want to taste you.” he smirks as plants a soft kiss through the lace that covers me from him. Making my back arch from the bed. He removes his hands from my stomach to pull down my panties. He plants soft kisses on my thighs as he slowly makes his way over to my center. This too much. "Oh shit." I blurt as he slowly kisses my other set of lips. My hands grip his hair as he assaults me with his tongue. His hands come back to hold me down, as he continues to drive me insane. 

I tighten my grip on his hair as I near my four-thousandth orgasm. He notices me nearing and thrusts his fingers inside me once again, making my body jolt. “Shit shit shit shit shit shit” I nearly black out when he places his mouth back on my center, his fingers still killing me. He hums against my clit causing me to climax almost instantly. I slowly relax on the now dismantle covers. “Tastes good” he licks his lips and smiles up at me as he pulls his fingers out of me.  

I frown at his current attire. He’s still dressed, the bugle in his pants visible. “Larry” my voice cracking, I almost tore my vocal cords so that makes since, He looks up at me biting his lip as he looks at my naked body. “That’s not fair.” he chuckles at me “What not fair?” I pout and point at his clothes “Take all that off please.” I watch intensively as he slides his shirt over his head, exposing the lean, chiseled muscles underneath, and the beautiful art on his arms. “Stop watching me” he laughed as he undid his pants, I like the way he had to reach behind him undo his pants, I watch his muscles flex as the pulled them down, leaving on nothing but  his boxers. I might have a problem with the staring, but he doesn’t seem to mind. 

Jesus, his dick looks like a tent. I didn’t realize I was staring until he laughed at me. I bite my lip before our lips touch again. He try’s to climb onto me again. But I soon push him up and the push him back into the bed to straddle him. He’s surprised by it but I can tell he loves it. I slowly walk my way down to his little friend. Excuse me, big friend. That’s waiting for me. I stop at his waist and I smirk when I feel his body tense every time I poked one of his abs. I look up at him as I travel farther down, removing the boxers in the process. I feel my eyes bulge out of my head when I free him. He’s HUGE. I’m gonna die. Yup. He must have seen my reaction because the smirk returns for the 2387103470814716672380138849-254093483847th time. That dumb ass smirk. I watch his head tilt back when I grasp him in my hands slowly stroking up and down. 

I love watching him lose his composure. that’s my fuel, my energy I need to keep going. He almost moans when I lick the tip of his dick. I look up at him as I try to fit all of him in my mouth. He raises my hair out of my face to watch me almost suffocate. What the hell did I get myself into? I pick up my pace before he has the time to say anything, causing him to  tighten my grip on my hair.”Shit” he whimpers, looking down at me.  

"Evanna. I want to fuck you now." his command makes me speed up my pace even faster, I feel him pulse in my mouth, he’s close.  "You hear what I say? That mean stop." he said, yanking me up by my hair, pulling me back to him. The pain excites me. Our lips connect as he quickly flips us over. My back arching on the cold of the sheets.

I tighten my hands around his neck as he teases my opening. He grabs my hands in his and pins them over my head. He brakes our kiss and leans over to whisper in my ear. “I want to fuck you so hard you not walk tomorrow.” “Your so-SHIT” before I can respond he thrusts his length into me. My voice range reaching new lengths as he pounds into me. My heart skips one too many beats as he begins to attack my neck again. 

I gasp the only I can grab as my sanity evacuates, the sheets. I feel one of my nails break, but I don’t care. I watch his back muscles tense every time he connects with me. My walls squeeze him tighter, earning a low groan from him. He loosens his grip on my hands and starts to pick up his pace, causing my hands to fly free and land on his back, scratching deeply. He growled at me, but he didn’t protest. He frees my neck, allowing his heavy breaths to hit my eardrums. I clench a fistful of his hair and force his lips to mine. 

I’m arching my back so hard, I think my back is broken.

I’m sure Larry’s back has deep cuts and my nails are filled with his DNA. 

My screams where probably busting his eardrums. 

This is the best sex I’ve ever had in my life. 

Not, that I get to have it much anyway….

I pull away from his lips “Larry! Larry Larry Larry- oh my god.” my walls constrict harder then they’ve ever done before, my pulse is nonexistent, my legs wrap around his waist so tight he might be able to get out. My mind clouds as orgasm paralyzes me, and wraps me in a world of bliss. I forgot all my problems, my stress, my name, and other common things normal people should know. 

As I come back from my beautiful realm he gently lays me on top of him, his arms wrapped around me as I lay on my favorite spot on his chest. I decide this is the best place to forget all of my problems, and I never want to leave. I look up at him and his gaze redirects to me.

"I love you Eva" he says, planting a  soft kiss on my forehead. 

I could stay like this forever. 

"I love you too Larry" I said, listening to his heartbeat as it drifts me into sleep.

The sunlight shining through my window wakes me. Did I really sleep this long? 

I’m relieved to see Larry still in my bed, snoring lightly, his face borrowed in my neck. I watch his chest fall in and out with every breath, I watch his lip twitch every now and then. My eyes wonder until they settle for his lips. I look at him again to see his gaze back on me. “You always watch me Eva.” I smile and observe his eyes as the sun lights them in the most perfect way possible. “Did I wake you?” I ask, he brings his hand to move my hair out of my face. “No, I just want to see you.” I smile again as he kisses me on the cheek.

"I gotta go eat something, I’m starving." I slowly sit up and let the covers fall from me. The first thing in view is my vanity. I see my reflection, my neck and chest is littered in hickeys and bite marks. "Larry your gonna make my manger really mad at me." I whined swinging my hair out of my face, he sits up behind me. "You still beautiful" he said, gently kissing one of the marks located on my neck. I smile at him and get up to rummage in my drawer for something to slip on. I watch him in the mirror as his eyes dash across my body. I find a large green shirt and slip it on to cover my naked frame. I watch his face twist into a frown "Take that off." I look over to him, confused "What?" "Don’t wear that, you wear something else. And throw that shirt away." 

Huh?

Oh yea.. Sophia’s words replay in my head. “He hates anything associated with green unless it’s money.”

I chuckle at my memory, I kinda miss her, she hasn’t been around to annoy me. “Oh I’m sorry Larry, I forgot.” I said, slipping the shirt off. “What you forget?” “I forgot you hate green.” his frown disappearing as the shirt falls to the floor. “How you know that?” he questions the amusement in the voice apparent. “Sophia told me” I find another shirt, it’s blue this time. I watch him sit up on the edge of the bed, grabbing his boxers and placing them back on. 

I walk over to the bedroom door and brace my eyes for the sun the living room is going to blind me with. I’m startled by a voice that welcomes me when I open the door.

"Hi Evanna!" a familiar voice yells "You guys have fun last night?" it was rhetorical, the annoyance in his tone obvious. "Lau?" Larry steps behind me at the speed of light, almost pushing me. "Hey bro, you have fun with Eva?" he said, the disgust in his eyes burned holes in my soul when he looked at me. "Don’t call her that." he said, possessively wrapping his arms around my waist. "Wha-" "How did you get in here" I interrupted. "She let me in." I whip my head as he points over to see Sophia sitting on the couch, hysterically laughing. 

Now I don’t miss her.

"I'm amazed when I look at you. Not just because of your looks, but because of the fact that everything I've ever wanted is right in front of me."

Chapter 3

"Your finally home." I come home and find Sophia sitting on the couch with her arms crossed. She actually looks decent today. "Yea okay, mom, you have your own house." I said closing the door. 

"I had to know if you died or not." I rolled my eyes. She just loves invading my privacy. "Tell me everything." "Alright alright, just let me change first." I throw down my clutch at the doorway and immediately unzip my dress, kick off my heels and head straight for the closet. I don't really like dressing up, but unfortunately my career almost, always requires it so I just deal with it. I love being causal, big t-shirts or sweats is my favorite, especially joggers...... And tank tops. 

I come back sporting a sports bra and a large fitting pink t-shirt that stops right above my knees, topped of with my favorite pair of fuzzy socks. I walk back into the living room and find my clutch in Sophia's hands. "What's going on here?" I say, scaring her. "Uh, nothing I was just picking this up for you." she hands it to me and flashes me with her extremely fake smile, I know she's lying. But I have nothing to hide so I just ignore it. 

I pull my laptop from my coffee table and sit Indian-style on the couch, gluing my eyes to the screen. I knew she wouldn't leave this alone. "Soooooooooo, what happened E?" said Sophia, slowly sitting in the armchair eyeing me for an answer. "Ugh okay." I groan, closing the computer shut.

"So, when I went to his house, he changed into these joggers and this tight ass tank top that I can't seem to get off my mind-" "Is his house nice?" she's sitting up and clutching her knees like a child. "Are you kidding? It's gorgeous. It's one of those contemporary homes we always talked about living in. The windows are huge. All the walls are white and his light fixtures are just beyond perfect and the kitchen is nothing but fucking stainless steel. His living room is full of movies and he has this big ass tv that's hard to take your eyes off of. His bed is amazing too, it's grey and the sheets are real silk man-" she cuts me off, her face covered in awe. "You where in his bed, I told you y'all were gonna fuck, is it big?"

"We didn't have sex, can you stop cutting me off so I can tell you the story damn." she silently apologized and gestured me to continue."But I think it is." I paused to watch her reaction. "We kinda made out, and his friend pressed up on my thigh." her jaw practically touching the floor the whole time. "Close your mouth it's fly season." she rolled her eyes and waved her hand at me. "He stopped as soon as he noticed it and he apologized and said he was moving to fast. So, he gave me on of his shirts to change into and we watched movies in his room and fell asleep."

"What the fuck Evanna, you know you want him." she was right, I couldn't let her know that though. "Well I'd be breaking one of my own rules. Never fuck on the first date." "True" she sighed, agreeing with me. I kind of lied, when he retreated I wanted to pull him back onto me and continue what we started, but he was right. It was too quick and I didn't want to start something that I had no idea about.  I admit, I wasn't ready. it would have been too much in one night, I'd probably die.

Evanna you know you want him.

Shit, the hell I did. 

"He had to go somewhere with his brother today and I'd knew you would annoy the fool out of me if I wasn't home. So I left, speaking of which, don't you have  that agency that wants to meet you?" her jaw almost fell to the floor when I told her, I'm assuming she forgot. "Gad dammit." she jumped off the chair and ran to put her shoes on. "Your a lifesaver E, I gotta go." she practically ran out the door, I quickly follow behind her to lock the door. 

I honestly couldn't wait for her to leave. Sometimes alone time is the best time. I pick up my laptop and play all of my music by The Weeknd, his music is the kind I can always listen too, no matter how old or overplayed it is. I like to relax, read, and relish the technology I rarely get to enjoy because of my job. My phone buzzed

 Sophia:

You don't have any shoots today right?

to Sophia:

No, why

Sophia:

I have a surprise for you

to Sophia:

And that is

A loud knock on my door startles me. I rush over to open it. "Eva!" there he is, at my doorstep, his adorable smile and all it's glory.  

to Sophia:

you didn't

Sophia:

next time don't leave your phone around me... Love you ;)

I quickly throw my phone down and try to look presentable. 

"Oh God, Hi, Larry, um sorry I didn't know you were coming." I really wish she told me, I look a hot mess. My hair is everywhere, my makeup is gone and I have minimal clothing on, like why? I noticed his pause to look at my current situation. My music blaring behind us. His eyes stopped at my chest, but then went back up to my eyes. I giggle to try and hide my embarrassment, but DAMN, he's looking perfect. His hair is in that perfect fro, he's wearing a black jacket with a grey shirt. Again, with black pants and of course, the Versace. 

"You can come in." gesturing him inside and he just stands there, hesitating. "Come on Larry" I grab his hand and pull him inside. I try to let go, but I feel him tug my hand, as soon as I look back he pulls me to him, and hugs me. Tight. My face is resting on his chest and his hands are wrapped around my back, he smells so good I don't know if I'll ever let go. "I miss you Eva." he squeezes me a little. Really? Oh my. "Larry I've only been gone a few hours." I look up at him and he returns my stare blankly. "Okai you no miss me?" of course I do, every time I'm away from you, your always on my mind and I seem to put everything on hold. "Of course I missed yo-" "Then why you shy" he picks up my hands and slowly strokes the outside of my hands with his thumb. 

"I'm not, I just look a hot mess." breaking his stare to look at my outfit. "No, you always beautiful Eva." I can't help but blush at his statement. "I never know you have curly hair." he let go of my hands to try and run his hands through my hair. But he hit tangles right in the beginning, he mimics his hand getting stuck and than pulls it right through. "Hey, don't pull it like that" I said pushing him jokingly he pouts at me, his bottom lip poking. I have long curly hair that runs down my back, it tangles easy so I don't like peoples hands in it. I can make an exception for Larry. "Fine, only you can touch it Larry" I giggle. "It's mine" he laughs and he digs his hands back in the mane. I tighten my grip around his body and take a deep whiff of his scent, hoping he didn't notice. Of course, he did. And of course, he laughs.

He pulls his hands out of my curls and I loosen my grip as he pulls up my chin to return his stare. I don't feel myself leaning in, but I can feel he's surprised when our lips touch. I feel him relax when my hands rest on his shoulders.

I can't let him go now, nothing can ruin this moment, nothing matters right now. I want nothing else but his lips on mine. But of course something ruins the moment. It always happens, Dammit. My phone been blaring for several minutes now. I jerk away and he pulls my face back "Wait." he looks at me sternly and places my lips back on his. My  phone continues its blaring. I pull away again "Larry I have to get it" he sighs in disagreement but lets me go, he makes his way over to my couch and takes a seat. I scurry over to my phone to answer it.

"Hello?" an unknown voice.

"Who is this?" 

"Is my brother there?"

"Huh?"

"Is Lau, Is my brother there with you?"

"Oh, um hey Laurent. Yea he's here" Larry's eyes widen and he sits up 

"Let me talk to him" I hand Larry the phone, and he walks off with it, blabbering french. 

I take my seat on the couch and pull my laptop onto my lap and shut off my music. How did Laurent get my number? Dammit Sophia. I'm cut off from my thoughts by complete silence. "Larry?" I walk back into the dining room, and the guest room and find nothing. "Larrryyy?" now this is creepy. I walk into my room and then I see him lying on my bed. He seemed to have gotten comfortable, he took his shoes and his jacket off, they're neatly placed on my bench. He's currently looking through my modeling portfolio. "Larry!" he jumps at my voice. "What are you doing?" "I look at your pictures." I slowly lay next to him to join him.

I take a moment of silence to look at his face as he marvels my pictures. "I like this one." he points to one with me getting ready for a shoot. I'm in a turquoise robe and my smile is huge I'm sitting at the vanity getting my hair straightened. "Oh that one? Come on, only half my hair was straightened."  I watch him as he looks at me. "Well I think it beautiful." I put my hand in his hair. "Whatever you say Larry"  he chuckles at me. I take my hand out of the his hair and reach beside him to grab my phone. 

"Larry!" he jumps at the sound of my loudness "Really man." he's changed the picture of my lock screen to a silly picture of him, we share a laugh. "You like it?" he smiles big "I love it" I blurted. I didn't mean to say that aloud. "You love it? I take more." I laugh when he snatches my phone away to snap more pictures. I yelp as soon as he turns the camera on me "Larry I don't wanna be in it!" I quickly place my hands on my face "Come on just one"  he tugs at my arm. I take down my hands and look straight into the camera blankly. "Smile Eva and I stop." I make a fake smile and he leans in and kissed me on the cheek, causing the real smile to appear, he quickly snaps like 8,000 pictures. "Larry quit your gonna use all my data!" I laugh, he stopped and looks through the pictures

"Oh I like this one" he shows me the picture of me smiling as he kisses my cheek. "It cute-" "Why you only smile like that when I kiss you" did he really just say that? "Larry, I always smile when I'm with you."  "Yea but not like that" sadness grabs my vocal cords and takes hold of my facial features, he has the wrong idea of me. I love him already. Yea, so, it's quick. It's been two days since we met, part of me says I shouldn't. But I can't help it. But he doesn't know yet, and it should remain that way.

I must have drifted off into my thoughts again. "Eva, what's wrong"  "Oh- Nothing." my voice cracks a little. He turns my face towards him I see the concern in his eyes, he's just so perfect. "You lie, I ask you again, what's the matter?" maybe because you think I'm not happy around you? Do you even know how my feelings are for you? "Because you just don't know how much I love you.". I blurted out, my face freezes. please don't hear that. 

"Wait, you love me?" 

Shit.

"Ever since I met you, no one else has been worth thinking about"

 This chapter is kinda long. I had a little fun with it so enjoy,

Chapter 2

 "Thank you for checking on me Larry" I wonder if he knows how big my smile is right now. All I did was think about him last night. His voice is hard to forget. I climb out of bed and check on Sophia. She's sprawled out on the couch. Snoring, hard.

 "I have workshop today you come?" I think about it and then I look back to the hung-over bear on my couch. I couldn't ditch her to go see one of her most favorite people in the world that's just wrong in so many ways. But, I did consider it. But he told me at late notice anyways.

 "Sorry I can't go, maybe later we can go to dinner or something?" I say while finding something to whip up for breakfast, French toast. That’s good. What if Larry was here? I'd make everything in the world right now. Wait. Hello, you're on the phone with him fool.

 "Okay after workshop we go, don't bring you friend is a date." I laugh at his broken English but I can't help but marvel it. Oh shit, I'm going on a date with the most beautiful man I've ever seen in my life. I dance around the kitchen with my pots in my hands, I'm excited, and right now he's the only thing I'm thinking of. My smile widens as the conversation continues.

 We agreed to go at 7:00, at some surprise restaurant since I said I like nice things. He told me to dress up so I'm guessing it's somewhere fancy. Our goodbye was short; as soon as he hung up I already missed him. The moment ruined again to see Sophia sitting at the bar smiling at me. I hope she didn't hear anything but the smile tells me she's heard enough.

 "You're going on a date with Larry Bear?? And you made me breakfast" she giggled grabbing a plate I made for her and moving her hair out of her face. Her makeup is smeared and her hair is all over her head.

 "Jeez you act like you know him." I laugh "You look a hot ass mess" Dodging the question. I laugh real hard at her, I take out my phone to snap a picture. She smiles for the picture despite her appearance, she's childish and inappropriate, just like me, that's why were so close. Beside the reason that we're cousins. Our family genes are strong so we often get mistaken as sisters, we were born three weeks apart, so I can't judge. I can say we're both pretty, also bi-racial and we both have big curly hair. Her's is blond mine is more like a brown/black mix. But I straighten my hair whenever I feel like it so we don't always look alike. "But seriously I'm so nervous, and he told me to dress up and I don't have a clue what to wear." I say stuffing a chunk of French toast in my mouth.

 "Just look nice, but whatever you do, DON'T WEAR GREEN." she points her fork at me. "What's wrong with green?" "He just hates anything associated with green unless it's money." she says putting another forkful in her mouth. "Ooookay well will you help me get ready cause I'm still clueless." "Of course, you thought I would let you go out with him looking any type way? Never." before I got the chance to throw a comeback I realize what time it is, 4:00, dang so it wasn't early oops. We had to go shopping, I need something perfect.

 We spent hours at the mall, but after I found what I needed, I made the horrible mistake of letting Sophia find stuff for me as well. So now I have a overwhelming closet of date clothes and not enough time. "What the fuck Sophia it's 5:30 we need to leave now" "Okay Okay calm down" she said getting the last few items bagged. I rushed her into the car and sped back home.

 It was 6:00 when we got back, which pretty much sent me into panic. I'm ALWAYS late and I've guys that I really like ditch me because of my tardiness. I didn't want this to happen again. "Hurry up I need to be on time!"

 ************

 "You still coming Eva?" his sweet french accent.

 "Yes were turning the corner now sorry I'm so late." We turned the corner to the mystery place to see Larry, In a suit, a fucking suit. He's leaning on a Lamborghini, I'm guessing that’s his car..... dayum. He's looking magical, his hair blowing in the wind.  He smiles when he sees me and I nearly faint. "You've got it good E that man is walking perfection. Will you ask him for his brother's number for me?" Sophia's jealousy is obvious. I don't know if she's joking or dead serious, "Shut up" I laugh, my thoughts soon evacuate when I see Larry making his way over to open up the door for me. I'm practically jumping up and down in my seat like a little girl; he brings the little girl out of me.

"Shit he's coming, Sophie act normal."  I hurriedly check myself to make sure I'm together. He's already opening the door now "HI" I wave and my smile is huge, maybe a bit too much but I'm nervous I can't help it. He laughs at me, I lean over to hug Sophia goodbye and have a miniature conversation "I'm so fucking scared I feel like I'm going to ruin this." I said, squeezing the life out of her shoulder "You'll be fine, just text me." I nod and get out of the car, Larry's right there, leaning on the door, peering up at me with those gates to heaven he calls eyes. I blush instantly when he smirks at me and closes the door of the car. Sophia laughs as she drives off. I would flip her off but I can't get my eyes off the beauty standing in front of me, more like above me, I should say, he's so tall.

 "Hi Eva”, the boyish grin taking over his face. "You look beautiful" it took me awhile to find what to wear since I had so many options, Thanks to Sophia. But I ended up wearing a black maxi dress that had a deep V-neck showing some cleavage but just enough; with some simple black heels with one strap around the toes and one around the ankle. Alright, I feel some type of way calling them sandals, because they are heels. My makeup is more natural. I wore my hair natural too, since I had no time to straighten it.

 "Thank you Larry" My blushing isn't going away. "You look very handsome as well" I'm really trying to keep my cool right now. I don't have a problem with getting guys, I'm pretty attractive so me going out on a date is a normal thing. But I'm never nervous like this, he makes me nervous. I'm shaking and blushing and my speech is shaky. What is happening to me? I almost jump out of my skin when he takes my hand in his as we walk.

 The restaurant is beautiful, there's chandeliers that hang from the ceiling, candles lit on the white tables with a vase of flowers on each table, and there's lots of windows that you can see the view of the city and the lights that glow from the buildings and businesses. The waiter wastes no time getting us seated. The waiter mentioned he was a big fan and took a picture with him. Our table is perfect, it's secluded from everyone else and it's surrounded by windows. His smile was brighter than the city lights glowing through the window. He pulls out my chair and I sit slowly, silently praying to stay cool, as he takes his seat across from me. This is perfect, I could watch him all day, and I stare as he gets settled. I get lost in him, he’s just so perfect, his cheekbones chiseled, his eyes, the brownest, his hair, the fluffiest and-

“Ma’am?” I’m startled back to reality, “What would you like to drink?” He chuckles at me when I jump. "Uh water, with lemon please." the waitress quickly scribbles down the order and scurries away. Dammit Evanna he caught you staring at him. Just talk to him and be normal.

"You nervous?" he asks laughing, he just loves to laugh at me."No why would you say that?"  "Your legs shaking like that" he said gesturing under the table. I look down to see my leg bouncing frantically. I didn't even notice I was doing that, and I only do that when I'm nervous."Okay I guess I'm a little nervous." I freeze when I feel his hand touch my thigh."You not have to be nervous with me, okai?" his touch is burning my skin. "O-Okay" I smiled at him for reassurance and to silently tell him to get his hand off me before I get dysfunctional. My body shivers when he removes his hand. He smirks at my reaction. Shit, he wasn't supposed to see that.I try to change the subject "How was your workshop?" "It was good, I see so any talented people and people look up to me and my brother." "That's nice" I run out of things to say and just stare out the window. I feel him staring at me, his eyes are practically burning holes into the side of my face.

"You like me?" I almost choked but thank God the waitress showed up with our drinks. I took a long sip of water as his eyes are staring into my soul, his expression is more serious, he wants an answer.  I'm panicking and the water isn't helping. "I need to use the bathroom"  I didn't see if he was going to respond I just left, I practically ran out of there. I need help, I find the bathroom and lean on the counter to text Sophia.

to Sophia:

I'm about to have a heart attack rn.

Sophia:

why? what happened

to Sophia:

He asked me if he liked him

Sophia: 

Okay......... well do you?

to Sophia:

well I guess..... Yea I do.

Sophia: 

All you need to do is calm down E, this isn't hard. He obviously likes you and you like him. All he did was ask you a question. So answer him and stop being an ass. 

to Sophia:

luv u. -.-

I can do this, he probably knows I like him anyways so I don't know why I'm acting like this. Just kidding it's because there's a beautiful Parisian I'm on a date with and he's kneading holes in my brain with his eyes. I open the door and walk out I'm greeted by the glowing smile that keeps sending me over the edge. I quickly sit down, afraid my knees will buckle. "Your back" he said smirking he didn't forget like I was hoping but at least I felt like I could be honest now."So Evaaaa" the way he held on to my name. He has to know what he's doing to me, he has to. He takes my hand in his and looks me in the eyes. Those magical storytellers. "Do you like me?" I try to break away from his stare, my body won't allow it. "Yea, y-yea I do." his smile breaks the tension, melts my soul, my internal organs, and whatever else that keeps me alive. 

"Hello, um sorry can I take your order?" she knew she had interrupted something.  "Yea no, we gonna leave, here" he gave her two hundred dollars and she walked off. She was confused but, she just took the money anyway. "We're leaving?" I'm confused, I just spent my paycheck shopping for this date and now we're leaving? I need answers. "Come" he said, starting for the door "Wait, Larry were are we going?" "You ask to many questions, just come." he grabs my hand and almost drags me out the door. I yank my hand away because I am still confused, "What?- were are we going?" "To my house." he said it so calm compared to how I was. I have nothing else to say. He grabs my hand again leading me to his car, I don't question it. 

His house is beautiful, it's one of those modern types of houses, I love those. "I'm tired from dance all day, can we  just chill?" I nod my response as I admire his beautiful home. Just everything about him is perfect. "There's a lot of windows. Do you think people can see you?" "They can't, unless they come to the front door." the house is surrounded by nature and there's a pretty long driveway so that makes sense. "Oh" "Okai I be right back okai?" he scurries to his room. I'm panicking and I'm pacing around the living room. I decide to call Sophia.

"Hel-"

"If you don't hear from me in the next three hours, I'm dead."

"Why do you say-"

"I'm in his house" I whisper

"Where is he?"

"In his room I don't know what he's doing."

"Whyyyy are you in his house?"

"He said he's tired and he just want's to chill"

"Oh okay, chill no big deal. he's probably gonna fuck you though lets be honest." 

"Oh my God Sophie your not helping! What do I do?" 

"Just act normal E, if he try's anything just say no. Simple." I hear footsteps approaching "Shit he's coming, gotta go." "Don't die" she replies before hanging up the phone. Asshole.

"I back sorry, I don't like wear suits." Maybe I was a little paranoid, all  the man did was change clothes. He was now sporting some grey joggers and a skin tight black tank top that exposed his phenomenal muscles and the art on his sculpted arm. I got distracted looking at the collection of anime neatly organized under his tv. "You wanna watch something?" I turn to catch him staring at me. "Sure" he makes his way over to look at the selection with me "What you want watch?" "I don't mind, I like cartoons so-" "You like the boondocks?" I gasp and smile at the question. "Are you kidding I love The Boondocks!" he laughs at my excitement and leans in front of me to grab the disc "Okai we watch that then, go sit" he commands, gesturing me to the couch. I sit down slowly on the expensive couch and watch Larry mess with the tv, the way his muscles flexed every time he'd press a button was pure bliss. I quickly look away when he turns towards me again hoping he didn't see me staring, but of course he did.  

"You know you can take those off" he said, pointing at my heels. "Oh yea, Thanks" looking at Larry made me forget about the pain in my feet. I quickly take them off and set them beside the couch. I lean on the arm off the couch and watch him as he comes to sit next to me. "You know you never tell me about yourself." he doesn't notice how red my face is. "Well um, I-" "Wait!" he yelled before he laid across the couch and put his head in my lap, I laugh at the gesture. I decide this is the perfect time to touch his hair, I'm gonna do it either way, why not now? He laughed and pushed my hand farther in the mane so i could rub his scalp, i didn't mind. "Keep going" he nudged at my thigh, causing me to jump a little.

"Well, uhmm. I'm Evanna. I'm half black and half Mexican. My parents met in college.  I'm 24, Me and my cousin Sophia are blossoming models-" "Wait you a model" "Yea, My mom wanted me to be one after one of her clients said I could be big one day and booked a photo shoot for me. It's very special to me and it's something I'm never gonna stop doing, ever since my mom passed, it's been my goal to make her proud." there was a silence after my statement and all you could hear was the tv. "You make your mama proud." I look down to see him staring up at me. I see the sympathy in his eyes. "I try my best."

"You know when I saw you in the club, my brother said you too pretty for me, but he also say go talk to you before he does." I couldn't help but laugh at his cuteness,  he's even cuter when he's expressing his feelings. "And when I talk to you and see you smile for me like that I knew I was gonna to really like you, and I do." I'm blushing, he sees, his hands slowly caress my face peeling away the layers of my heart, that's his motivation to keep going. "But I didn't get to do something I really wanna do." he says, sitting up his lips inching close to my face. "And what is that" I challenge. "This" I feel a rush of heat pouring through my body when his lips crash into mine. My mind wasn't prepared and I let out something close to a whimper. 

"I just really want to do that" his smirk isn't hidden this time. He knows what he's doing to me.

"Me too."
