| groaned as the myriad of thoughts swamped through my mind and | knew that there was no way | could get

anymore work done. | better started preparing for dinner then. Arranging the paperwork in front ofinto a

neat stack by the corner, | made my way out of the office, stretching as | went.

The house was too quiet and although | mostly preferred it, times liked this | craved otherwise, | wanted

company that I genuinely enjoyed, not one that | had to force myself to tolerate. It was very difficult living this

life sometimes, but | knew that it was one that | had chosen and so | dealt with it.

This pack was my greatest achievement in life and everyday that looked at what | had built, | was thoroughly

impressed and it pushedto do even more, to work harder to protect the ones that entrustedwith their

lives, to build more and grow. It made every single thing worth it, the sacrifice, the loneliness, the nightmares,

and maybe even the unhappiness that plagued my life.

| stripped off my clothes as | approached the bathroom, turning the knobs of the shower until the right

temperature of water flowed through it, before stepping into the stall, scrubbing my body clean and enjoying the

way the warm water helped to take care of the strain in my muscles.

Once | was done, | dried off, wrapping the towel around my waist before exiting the bathroom.

“Hi there.” Lila’s overexcited voice called from the bed and | smiled slightly, accepting the hug that she offered

and even lifting her off the floor a little to place a kiss on her head which made her giggle.

“Is your friend here yet?” | asked but she shook her head, her eyes fixed on the towel | had wrapped around my

waist.

“Eyes up here Lila.” | teased, rolling my eyes playfully when she let out a laugh.

“Well, she’s unpacking and although she doesn’t have so many things, | think we should have enough tto...

you know... before | have to go pick her.” Lila said and | flicked at her forehead, before heading into my closet to

dress up.

“Ouch, that actually hurt Arthur.” She called and I cringed slightly at the name.

but it was quite the opposite. Sometimes it was easier to deal with but other times | was hyper aware of it and it

made my skin crawl.

| didn’t like the name, | didn’t enjoy being called or known by it hated it’s origin, but | knew that | had to deal

with every single one of these things like the hundred other things | had to deal with.

“It was supposed to. Keep your horny thoughts till after dinner. I'm sure your arousal can be perceived from the

living area at this point.” | said, rolling my eyes when Lila actually followedinto the large closet.

She had no sense of personal space sometimes, one of the many flaws that she had.

“How was your trip?” | asked and sho

nodded her head in response, rubbing her fingers through a particular rack of clothes.

Once | was done dressing, | took her hand in mine, gently pulling her out of the closet and down the stairs, we

spent the next half an hour talking, well with Lila mostly talking but | preferred it that way. It was easier to listen

to her than actually participate in the conversation.

“Your friend should be about ready now.” | said, my eyes moving to the grandfather clock on the wall.

“Oops totally forgot. Ill go pick her up now. You'll like her, don’t worry.” Lila assured and | hummed in response.

| walked towards my library at the other end of the living area after she left, picking one of the books and

heading to my bedroom and continuing the book | had begun reading from the previous day. This was my

“Shit.” | whispered to myself, bookmarking the page | was on before dropping the book and making my way

down the stairs quickly.

“Sorry about that, | wasn’t expecting you to be back so early.” | sad, looking to Lila first before moving my eyes

towards the person standing beside her

And when my eyes fell upon her, | could’ve sworn that my heart stopped functioning completely in my chest. |

What was she doing here? Was it really her? Jess was here after five years? My head felt like it was spinning so

fast but | knew that | had to organize myself. | couldn't let her or Lila see how much her presence affected me.

And so forcing a smile on my lips, | stretched out a hand to welcher, the burn that | felt as our fingers

touched was one that was more difficult to mask but | pushed through it.
