Eliana

"Hello, Eliana."

My vision swam and the back of my head throbbed where it had hit the wall. I tried to focus on the man's face and slowly his shaggy blonde hair and a scar on his face came into view. 

"It's good to finally meet you in person, sweetheart. You can call me Vincent." 

That voice. I knew that voice. It was the debt collector who had been calling, texting and threatening me.

  • My Bestfriend’s Daddy    Happy ever after

    TheodoreThe house sat exactly where it had always sat, at the end of the street with the big oak tree out front and a porch that wrapped around the side.Eliana stood on the sidewalk, gaping at it in disbelief."Theo." Her voice came out barely above a whisper. "What did you do?""I bought it back." I announced feeling rather proud. The white paint of the house had been redone, the shutters that had been replaced and I had someone revive the garden. "It took four months to track down the current owners and another two to convince them to sell. They finally agreed last week.""You bought my childhood home?" ."Her eyes were moving between me and the house and back again like she couldn't quite process either. "Why?""Because you loved it and your best memories are here." I squeezed her hand. "I wanted to give you something that mattered for

    ElianaHe didn't move from the doorway, standing there with his hands loose at his sides, his chest rising and falling like he had run the whole way here."You're here," I said stupidly."I'm here.""You said you wouldn't come.""I lied." He bit out roughly. "I tried but I can't do it anymore. I can't be hundreds of miles away from you, knowing where you are and not showing up."My throat closed up. I gripped the edge of the counter to keep my hands from shaking.He took a step forward, then another, moving slowly as if I would bolt if he moved too fast."You look good," he said. "The shorter hair. It suits you.""Th-Thanks,""I've been watching the restaurant for two hours. I had a whole speech planned. Mathew helped me practice it," He stopped a few feet aw

  • My Bestfriend’s Daddy    Naming a project after her

    ElianaThe television mounted on a wall in the restaurant wouldn't shut up. Carl had tried three times, remote pointed at it like a weapon, jabbing the power button with increasing frustration while the press conference played on. Theodore's face filled the screen and the sight of his rather gaunt face tore at my chest."Piece of shit remote," Carl muttered, giving up.I kept my eyes on the plates I was clearing, stacking them carefully, refusing to look up, at the screen yet his voice boomed from the speakers, filling the restaurant."Project Lia represents a development in how we approach technology..."My hands are still on a coffee cup. Project Lia?"Hey." Connie appeared at my elbow, her phone already out. "Isn't Lia your name?""Nickname," I said quietly."Girl." She grabbed my arm. "He's talking abo

  • My Bestfriend’s Daddy    He loves you

    ElianaWas it just me or did she look different?There weren't any dramatic changes but her eyes weren't exactly glaring daggers at me anymore."Can you sit?" She gestured at the chair across from her and pushed the chair out with her foot slightly. "Please."I glanced back at the kitchen. Carl was visible through the window, frowning at something on his clipboard."I don't have all day, please make this brief," I said curtly,"One of my followers posted a story last week," she muttered, flicking her thumbs against each other. "They were eating here and you were in the background,""That's what you came here to say?""I've been looking for you for three months." She said quietly. "Dad won't talk about it with me and he just works, comes home and works more. Mathew keeps giving me these lo

    Eliana"Lia."His voice filled the small kitchen of my new apartment, low and rough around the edges. It had none of the confident swagger his voice used to have. Or maybe that just became a recording. "I don't know if you're listening to these. I don't know if you'll ever listen to them. But I keep..." He paused, exhaling slowly. "I keep picking up the phone anyway. I don't know what that says about me."I stood at the kitchen counter with my coffee going cold in my hand. My eyes were fixed on the window and the busy buzz on the streets of San Francisco filtered in through it."I miss you." His voice dropped. "I just... I miss you. That's all I called to say."The message ended.I stood there for a long second after, batting my eyelids so hard. Then I set my coffee down, picked up my apron from the counter, and w

    TheodoreShe had her back to the door when I came in.The evening light cut sideways across the room, hitting the lilies on every surface. The smell of them reached me before I was fully through the door. It had been a week of having them sent every morning.Eliana was looking at her phone, legs crossed on the bed, hair loose. She heard me and the amused expression on her face turned into a blank slate.How much longer would we have to do this?"Stop sending more flowers. The ward is huge but the flowers everywhere are making it look too small." She nodded at the lilies surrounding the room.I set the food I had brought on the bedside table and pulled the chair close. "Eat.""You say that every time.""Every time because you haven't eaten yet."Her mouth pressed together bu

    Eliana“Get your hands off me,” I spat, shoving Julian away. He staggered a few steps back, crashing into someone. I didn't wait to see the look on his face. My heels tuner and I pushed through the crowd to get away from him. Someone's elbow hit my shoulder,
