RESIGNATION DECISION

...THE BEAUTY...

Last night was horrible. I don't know what would I have done if My devil, Mr. Adolf wasn't there.

I slowly open my eyes it was still dawn. Getting up from the bed, he tucks me in my blanket. I remembered sleeping in his arms last night. I instantly blush and tried to get up.

" Get some more sleep, baby. It's still early. " He gently pats my head. And leaves.

I turn off the shower head and grabs the towel from the rack. I decided to make myself some morning coffee. Mr. Adolf let me take a leave for a day. Though last night was already over, I can't help but feel anxious. Thus, when my doorbell rang I took heavy steps with a knife at one hand and phone in the other.

I slowly open the door to find my best friend Ethan. My anxiety disappears at his arrival.

" I miss you, Beri " He snatches me into a comforting hug. Ethan and I were friends since high school. We were each other's comfort places. We would commit silly crimes and good deeds together. But what connect us the most is that both his and my parents gave us cold shoulders. We would sometimes joke about having daddy and mommy issues.

" I miss you too, Ethy "I hugged him back. " Come on in…". I shut close the door behind us .

We were close together until Ethan left to volunteer in a Camp For Animal in Africa. That was one year ago. So much has changed.

Back then, he was a chubby nerd who used to follow me around all the time just because I once saved him from some bully girl. But now he is everything but fat. He adopts sharp features with wide shoulders, slim waist and muscular arms. His pale gray eyes never lose its shine. He is wearing black T with pale blue jeans and leather boots. He is a fine dashing young man now.

" Are you currently checking me out? " He teases with a deep voice.

" Yes! You look so different now, Ethy!! " I slap his arm, exclaiming happily.

We talk for hours, after all we have so much to catch up. He told me about how kindly the people of Africa treated him, about his current plans to open a veterinary clinic here, and complaining about being single. I told him about my current job, about my oh-so-cold boss, my devil and about last night.

" Damn, so much had happened while I was away. So where is that bastard brother of yours now? " After I finished, he exclaims.

" Mr Adolf let the police taken the work "I told him.

" Mhm...so your dear sir took care of rest of the work. Tell me how do you really feel about the man whom you call Your Devil. " Blood rush to my cheeks at the mention of his name like that.

" Ugh...come on he is just someone who helped me--". He cut me off.

" I don't think so, if he is really 'just someone' he wouldn't have done those things he did with you. Anyway, everything aside how do you really feel about him? How does he make you feel? Comfortable? Or Annoyed and Angry? " Ethan asks.

I thought about how frustrated and scared I get every time he enters my room, drawing raw and rough pleasure from me. But the way he also makes me feels like the most precious gem, frustrated me even more.
