Did I Ever Mention

Chapter 3

Acclie stormed into her condo, frustrated as ever. How was she supposed to make things right with Alex if nothing was going right? Karra was pissed as hell at her. Maybe I should call her. Would that be pushy? Acclie pressed her hands against her forehead and screamed. This is it, isn't it? I'm going crazy!?  She began crying again, and sank to the floor.

Everything was going to hell. Who would she talk to? There was NO way she was calling her parents. Acclie vowed to herself after coming into millions and millions of dollars, she was NEVER talking to them again.

Acclie stopped crying just long enough to crawl to her master suite and prop herself up on her make-up vanity. She flicked on the lights. The vanity was like the ones that the celebrities used backstage with the porcelain color, and bright bulbed lights.

She was pretty... right?

Alex always had said before leaving her condo: "Did I ever mention... You're beautiful?", then smile his adorable, cocky smile. Every time. Not once did he forget. One time, when he left for "work" early, he even whispered it in her ear while she was pretending to sleep.

Her hair was sleek and flawless... right?

Alex always ran his hands through it and messed it up, but Acclie loved that. She would face him and do the same, adding a deep, lingering kiss afterward.

Her skin was smooth and glowing... right?

Alex had said that "his slobber kept it in good shape". Acclie thought it was gross then, but now, was she forming wrinkles?

Stop it, Acclie. You need to stop. Get some rest because you really are going crazy.

She pursed her lips and intensified her eyes for a striking facial pose. She was still beautiful.

Acclie flicked off the lights and put on a cocky smile as close as she could get to the one Alex had. She stripped all the way down and crawled into her California-King bed.

She thought she could almost hear Alex's:
