It is a Las Vegas night. 

Lowell Calais is bored of the superficial smiles that hid jagged teeth behind pulled back and painted lips. Nothing in this pub interests him. 

They said the pub is where all secrets could be told, a place where one can spill everything without care. A place to find something. 

He never believed that sort of loosely weaved lies. Just another marketing quirks, he always thought. 

"Sooner or later," his friends have always told him, snickering. 

He didn't believe it at all. 

Then, amidst the crowd, he sees the dancer. Stretching his arms as if they are wings of a swan under the guise of a human. Swaying his bodice as if it is a willow sweeping over the calm surface of a pond. 

Kissing Lowell's lips as if nothing else cares, as if they are the most enticing flower in the area, and the dancer's heart-shaped lips a willing and passionate butterfly. 

Sooner or later, and so it will be. 

They said the pub is the place to find something. Lowell found Jules Horus, and now instead of spilling secrets, he has a secret to keep in the pub, just one of the many secrets he kept locked in his heart, back in the American city of light.

"I want to tell you all my secrets, but you became one of them instead."

But he doesn't, and something tells me that he knows exactly what I am talking about. "Because, you are just so...prepossessing, Darling." He whispers, and his voice sends a chill down my spine. I shiver. I swallow loudly and drop my gaze to my lap, my hands shaking slightly. What does prepossessing even mean? "Am I making you uncomfortable?" He murmurs. "U-um no." I shale my head slowly.

My Summer Fling Is My Professor by bemuah

"I'm not here to fall in love, but I travelled here by myself. Visiting Italy together while pretending to be lovers would definitely be an amusement, don't you think?" After a brutal divorce and a tumultuous year, twenty-seven year old Remy Estera suddenly decided to spend an entire summer in Italy all on his own, at least he thought it would be. However, the night he arrived, he was approached by a man named Jay who suggested to be pretentious lovers for the duration of their summer vacation, without it any strings attached. "To prevent us from falling for each other, let's refrain from sharing any personal details about one another. I'm not going to tell you my real name and you shouldn't either. And when we leave this place, we forget any of this happened." Remy thought he would be able to follow through, but by the end of summer, he was deeply infatuated by this stranger that he was convinced they were soulmate. They spent their days touring the city together, sharing food, caressing their naked bodies and making love as if they had been lovers in another life. Until one morning, Remy woke up and Jay had vanished, no trace of him left. He thought it was going to be the last he ever heard of Jay. He thought he would never find his soulmate again, that this summer fling would remain all it was-a summer fling. What a shocking surprise it was for Remy who, at the start of his fourth year of university, entered his senior class and found the stranger standing at the front, wearing a suit. My summer fling is my professor?!?!?!
