I was late. 

I knew the consequences but he hadn't given me enough time. He knew I wouldn't be able to finish the job within a week.  Creating paintings that are worth anything will take patience; but what do I get? 

One week. 

One goddamn week to create a masterpiece that is worth thousands! 

He'll be here any second now demanding that the painting be handed over through the hatch, the only opening to the outside other than the door that is always barred to me and the cracks in the ceiling where slivers of light find their way through . 

There's no point in trying to finish now anyway; I was doomed from the moment he shoved the canvas through the hatch with a one-week stamp on the back screaming out at me in bold red letters.  Hopefully he's in a good mood today because then maybe I'll get away with no food for a couple of days or possibly a few weeks with no fresh towels for cleaning.

A girl could wish.

Alexis Collins is a 17 year old prisoner.  She's been stuck in what she calls 'the hollow' for over 7 years now waiting to be set free. All she has ever dreamt of is someone - anyone - stumbling upon her little hole in the ground.  Someone to save her from a life of eternal misery and loneliness.  All she wants is to find a place she can call home again, to find her family, and to see the jerk who put her here suffer for all that he has done.  Is that really too much to ask?

Probably.



Definitely.

"I want to capture this moment and save it forever." He looked at her, watching the way her cheeks flushed a deep red as he brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. "You're breathtaking. You have no idea how gorgeous you are, do you?" His voice was a low whisper, sending shivers down her spine. She tried to hide her smile but failed. Slowly, he leaned in, his breath warm against her neck. "Would you like me to make you feel good?" Her heart raced as she nodded, barely able to speak. His hands moved down her legs, teasing her, building anticipation. She leaned back, letting herself get lost in the moment, her mind swirling with the intoxicating sensations. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Michelle Garcia is doing the best she can to get back on her feet along with her 17 year old son. In her 40s, thrown away twice by men she should've been able to trust, she has chosen to focus on what she can control and work hard to provide for herself and Tony. Grant, Trent and Sam are three friends who have been together through thick and thin. Growing up together, they realized that they would always be a team. Them against whatever the world was going to throw at them. They also realized that they never wanted a woman to pull them apart. No Yoko Ono for them, nope. They needed a woman that they could share; one that would hold them together and balance them out. They tried separate relationships in the past but all fizzled out. They never found one that met the needs and desires of all three, until they saw her. RECENTLY EDITED WITH A CHANGE IN THE ENDING

"Listen Kenzy, I know I've been an ass and truthfully maybe you shouldn't even bother returning my calls. You're right, I've been nothing but awful since we met, driving you away yet desperate to keep you close" My heart clinches, but I dared not breathe. Too afraid to give in, too afraid that if I reach for the phone, I'll call. I'll call to make it right. I want to make it right, because this man affects me more than I ever thought he would. But it isn't right. I can't give myself false hope. "Please just talk to me, let me explain. It's not you.....it's me. I'm the asshole. You don't deserve this, you didn't. ..." He pauses and I hold my breath still, fearing he'd hear me breathe, yet, it's only his left voicemail on the phone. Not him "I'm sorry.......dammit!" And that's it, our one sided conversation ends and I'm more broken than before. What happens when your world crashes? When the people you thought would be there forever literally runs through the door without a second glance backwards? What happens with taking a step outside your comfort zone? What happens when that step outside that comfort zone turns into....well unexpected? Personalities clash, feelings are crushed and just maybe that one person you ignore turns out to be the damn life savers. Easy enough, but did I forget to mention they belong to someone else? Will what happens in summer stay with summer? The beautiful cover was done by @LittleRedConverse23, go check out her great work ❤❤❤ #thebuttercupawards2020 #RoseAwards
