《Bound To Be》Seeing Stars
Advertisement
It's been a week since we found out Abraham's mom was getting released soon.
Abraham has taken the news quite well actually. I'm happy he is.
At the moment I am starting my blog for my pictures. I have edited every picture and I am ready to post them for sale.
It was a good idea for Abraham to think of this. It's something I love to do and it pays. Hopefully.
As I was putting the last details in the blog Abraham walked in.
"I found you. Have you been in your room all day?" I was still wearing my pajamas with my messy hair in a bun and my glasses on. Yeah. He would get that impression.
"Yup. I was just putting the last touches on my blog. Take a look."
He was scrolling up and down and started to smile. "It looks fantastic Alicia."
"You think? I hope there are buyers."
"I can share the page on social media, maybe you can get some buyers there."
"That would be great!"
After sharing on social media, Abraham went to the gym.
So I was by myself. Mehh.
I started walking around my room thinking.
I should actually create my own page on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and all that jazz.
I named all my profiles Snaps by Alicia like my blog. It can take a while for it to actually develop so I shouldn't sit at my desk all day watching and waiting for anything new to pop up.
I have nothing to do.
Abraham won't be back for another hour, Ann is at a friend's house. It was 3:30 in the afternoon and I wanted some fresh air.
Picture time. After getting ready to go out, I had to text Abraham I was leaving because we all know what happened last time I decided to leave.

I still get disgusted with myself just thinking about it.
Right when I was opening the door my phone started vibrating. Abraham.
"Yes."
"Don't leave. My uncle invited me to some kind of event tonight that I should go to, you know to get my name out there before I start my business. So I was hoping you can accompany me."
"This sounds formal..."
"It is."
"I don't have a dress!"
"About that. I was hiding your dress in my closet. Go take a look."
I ran to his room and opened his closet door.
"It's long and navy blue."
Holy shit.
"Alicia?"
"Yeah I see it."
"I'll be home soon. Get ready." He hung up.
Hopefully it fits was all I was thinking.
I ran to my room and started my hair. I curled it and created as much volume as I could.
This is fancy I have to be fancy. I'm nervous for this. Ahhh. And here I thought I had nothing to do on a Friday night.
I did my makeup as good I could and put some red lipstick on. This will do.
It's now or never. Does the dress fit?
I took off my clothes and wore my most flattering bra and panties.
I started to slide up the dress and it was coming up! Thank god.
I carefully put my hands through the sleeves so I didn't mess up the sequence.
When it was fully on I walked over to my mirror and closed my eyes.
Don't look like crap. Don't look like crap.
I opened my eyes awaiting the worst.
"Hey. Not that bad." I said pretty happy with the result. "Perfect fit actually."
The back was open which is not something I usually wear but if this is my only choice, I'll have to deal with it.

I didn't want to walk out and let Abraham see me. It's sort of embarrassing.
I know he didn't come to my room when he got home because he didn't want to bother me.
I grabbed my clutch from my rarely used purse pile and put my things in. You know stalling.
I heard a knock on my door. "You can't make me wait forever." Abraham said behind the door in a sing-song voice.
"I'm coming."
"I'll wait downstairs."
Okay I can do this. I took a deep breath and was about to walk out without shoes! I quickly put on some heels and opened the door.
I shyly walked towards the stairs hoping Abraham likes what he sees.
Here I go. I walked down, half thinking please don't fall and the other half hoping he'll approve.
The first thing I seen was Abraham at the bottom of the stairs looking super hot. It was then I noticed he was wearing a navy blue suit. I crave him.
I made it to the bottom and was smiling shyly.
"Alicia...."
"We're matching."
"....you look breathtaking."
"Oh....thank you." He came closer and tucked my hair behind my ear.
We looked at each other's eyes. Like the first night the spark was there.
He slowly brought his lips to mine.
The whole time I was seeing stars.
How in the world can this god like me?
He was kissing me like the other night. Savagely but not too much.
He then put his forehead against mine still holding my jaw. "I'm sorry I had to kiss you the first moment I saw you."
I blushed.
"So did I when I seen you. Well actually I thought you looked pretty hot."
"Is that all?" He said teasing.
"Well there was something else there too but I'll let you figure it out."
He smiled and grabbed my hand but when he grabbed it he kissed it. Looking up while doing it.
Ever the romantic.
"Let's go."
I feel a little more confident now that I know Abraham liked me in the dress.
"I need you." I said under my breath.

8 81The Demon King said to call him Papa
Warning: There is abuse and extreme trauma in the beginning of this story."This is the first time I've seen a human as small as you." I lightly flinched at the cold words as I stared at the ground; to afraid to look up at the intimidating man. I could tell that he was different from the other monsters that circled around me.But I no longer cared about my life anymore. No one cared about me, no one will miss or even be sad about my death except for Five, but he was no longer here anymore."Human." The man speaks to me as I continued to stare at the ground. "Look up."I bit my lip and shook my head, I wasn't allowed to look at any adult- if I did, I would be hit. Dull pain started to prick my chest as I waited to die, I couldn't even felt the cuts on my legs from those people who left me here anymore.Suddenly, feet appeared in my sight and was joined by legs as the man kneeled down in front of me and curled a long white finger around my chin and gently lifted my head up.I closed my eyes tightly as my body started to tremble and curl up in preparation for the beating that surely was coming. Moments pass but nothing happens. I slowly open my eyes and met the vibrant purple eyes that stared into mine. I start to pull away as he reached up to brush my hair out of my face, flinching as he touched my skin and revealed the ugly burn that I had received two years ago. "Who did this?" He asks as he gazed at the scar.A girl who was abused and mistreated all her life has transmigrated into another world; only to have the same thing happen again. She was later abandoned as a meat shield against demons and thought that her second life was going to end.However, the powerful and indifferent Demon King meets her which changes her fate drastically.
8 150Petrichor: Act One
Cody is adrift. Emily is alone. Sara is spiraling into darkness. Andrew is out of control. Chris is losing his mind. Grace makes the mistake of being friends with all of them. The friendship these six share will forever shape who they are. In the town of Darkwood, Washington they are forced into the harsh reality of the world catching up to them. When their involvement in their friend's suicide catches up to them, how will they juggle their guilt, issues, and crumbling friendships that fall before them? This is a redux of Petrichor. I was unsatisfied with how the story went. I rushed things and left things to happen off-screen a lot. So I'm rewriting it, this time dividing the acts into their separate books to allow the characters to properly develop. The story will mostly stay the same but I'll fix all the plot holes I found and change some character motivations here or there.
