Pride meets nonchalance and loses its relevance. Dahlia only wanted him at her feet but fell in his stead. She is really triggered by just that one pair of eyes that are never on her. Her pride-induced hysterics don’t move him till he gets to the bottom of things only to reveal the one thing they shared in common. Slowly, he understands and cures her of pride with pills of love.

“Yabaaaa!”, I called out after she opened her room door for me. I plopped on her bed for a while to reset my internals after the elevator seemed to have turned my insides upside down. 


She was all dressed up or should I say, undressed up in her bikini and beach cover-up kimono. 


“Oookay mami. You’re too hot for earth, honestly.”, I teased and whined more than I praised. 


“Can’t touch, you’ll burn. Alright, get up. Took you quite a while to get here already.”, she replied with sass as she stood to check out all her angles in the dressing mirror. 


I scan the room for the bathroom door and grab my bag. It was necessary for me to shower before dressing up for swimming. The warm water gliding down my back was so soothing. I don’t want to get out of the shower, but I have an eventful day to end. 


Kill me, okay?
