Off-Limits

SIERRAA few weeks ago...I was always lonely. I’ve never been happy. How about you? Are you lonely? By the way, what happened with your date? – JessicaNo. I’m not. Forget about my date because she’s a fucking liar and the thing I hate the most are fucking liars – JakeMaybe because you need to understand that they have their reasons – JessicaHe did not respond after I sent him those words. Jake clearly said he wasn’t into crybabies, and he had no remorse over the things he does, and I believed him. He fucked different women every week - like an endless loop.I lied to Jake about a lot of things, but I couldn’t seem to let him go. He was fun to talk to. The late-night phone calls were getting hot, and he knew exactly what I needed. He knew exactly how to make me too damned wet. The sound of his voice was deli

JONASThere were tons of reasons as to why I shouldn’t listen to dad’s inconvenient request, and I was pretty much having a great time before he called. I could understand his attachment to Denise. My stepmother was one of a kind, and the sweetest thing that had ever happened to our lives. I couldn’t list everything she had done for us. She was a mother to me. Period.However, Denise was enough. I didn’t like the idea of having a little sister. If it was a brother, I’d give it consideration. In addition, it was quite ridiculous to give out even the slightest part of my property that I worked my ass off for to a stranger. But since dad asked nicely, I had no choice but to do it. Lastly, picking up this new little sister wasn’t that hard, but it was never my thing to engage myself in extra family matters.At the airport, I didn’t see her right away. She was hard to remember. I’d only seen her once be

SIERRAHere I am, alone again. Well, what is new?I was in the same position six years ago when I watched their wedding ceremony. I was sitting all alone, not knowing anyone, because the guests were mostly acquainted with the Blacks. Oh, right! Something had changed; I could drink now.This was my third glass of wine, and my throat still wanted more - perhaps a stronger drink. My roommate, Elizabeth, would usually offer vodka during sleepless nights and discouraging times. If only my stepbrother wasn’t such an ass and actually treated me as a part of the family, I wouldn’t have been such a loner.Nonetheless, I didn’t think I wanted to mingle around him at his time. He’s been talking and dancing non-stop with a blonde Barbie doll in a body-hugging red dress, my eyes hurt just looking at them. He was holding her back. I’d always convinced myself that he was off-limits, yet I couldn’t help but wonder how

SIERRA“Can I tell you something?” I asked, playfully biting my lower lip. Later that night, I called Jake. I’d been bored the whole day. There was nothing to do in the house. I didn’t know what else to do but stare at my phone screen, browsing another chat app site. To be honest, I was looking for a guy who might be similar to Jonas; of course, I found no one because he’s only one in the world. Every time I was disappointed, I would uninstall the application and get another.Mom and Elazar went out to shop since it was the only moment to have quality time together. After shopping, they told me they’re going to be late because a senator invited them for dinner. All I could think of was to call Jake. At least, even if I didn’t know what he looked like, I was sure he was handsome given the different women every week. He could even make me wet and aroused by only hearing his voice.“I don’t want

SIERRAThis wasn’t a vacation. It was a week of torture. It had only been three freaking days, and I’d gone crazy.Just like yesterday, I didn’t do anything at all. I had no energy to go out. Mom and Elazar didn’t seem to care that I was in the room all day and it was already afternoon! To entertain myself, I was also checking my inbox if there were any new messages, but Jake seemed busy. There were only three people in the world I could talk to, my roommate Elizabeth, Nic, and Jake. But they would be busy with their own lives.Jake would be having a meeting today, and I hadn’t heard his voice lately. Elizabeth went home with her boyfriend Nicholas or Nic for short.I came down almost after dinner and found mom and Elazar in the living room, watching some TV show.“Hi. Can we talk?”“Darling, of course.” Elazar tensed up. He picked up the remote control and shut the TV of
