"But some idiot thought therapy was equivalent to screwing his patient."
Neil stared at me venomously. "I prefer my name to be used."
"And I prefer silence to the sound of you speaking."

"Its really none of your business. You're just using her for charity," Neil spits. 
I fell rage coursing through my veins and I can no longer contain it. Without thinking, I throw my most deadly punch and he falls to the floor. I tackle him with half a mind wondering if its worth the bruised and bloody fingers.
But the thought of him inside her causes me to lose my mind.

NOIR

I completed my skincare routine because I knew if I didn't, Alice would get frustrated. 


She seemed busy so I assured her for the millionth time that I really didn't mind doing stuff on my own. 


I scanned through my clothes wondering what would be appropriate for wherever the hell Neil had planned on spending the day. 


I definitely didn't want to embarrass myself by being overdressed and I'm sure I would've had less trouble dressing up of I'd just asked him where we were going. 


He'd probably say "it's a surprise" anyways. 


I settled for a short black skirt that hugged my hips perfectly and a baggy crop top. 


Then I slipped on a pair of black boots. 


I walked out of the closet and looked around. 


She walked in, giving me a look that said, "I told you so," as if reading my thoughts from downstairs. 


"Alright. What's the occasion?" She asked.
