Chapter 12 – The Best Friend’s Mother

last update Tanggal publikasi: 2025-06-24 16:18:29

I wasn’t supposed to be there.

Not in that room. Not listening to those sounds. Not watching her my best friend’s mother through the sliver of a cracked door like a goddamn pervert.

But I didn’t move.

Because the sounds she made weren’t just private.

They were filthy.

And I’d never heard anything like them in my life.

It Started Innocent Enough

Mark had invited me to crash at his place over spring break. His mom had a big house outside the city fancy, quiet, with enough space for everyone. She

  • Wet Confessions   Chapter 30: The Funeral Dress

    She wore black to bury her husband. Not because she loved him. Because everyone expected her to. The rain began before the service ended, soft against umbrellas and polished coffins. Mourners whispered condolences she barely heard. Flowers drowned the scent of wet earth. And through all of it, she felt his eyes on her. Father Lucien. Her late husband’s older brother. Forty-two. Reserved. Sharp faced. A man who carried silence like a second skin. He had been the one arranging everything since the accident the paperwork, the church service, the guests. Calm while everyone else unraveled. She hated him for how composed he looked. Especially because she remembered the last thing her husband had confessed before dying: “Lucien always notices you before I do.” At the time, she thought it was bitterness. Now she wasn’t so sure. The funeral ended at dusk. People slowly disappeared into black cars and candlelit homes until only family remained inside the old estate

  • Wet Confessions   Confession No 98: The Night We Decided Not to Be Sensible

    This is the part where I admit I knew better.Not because it was wrong.But because it was inconvenient.His name is Adrian Vale. Thirty-six. Architect. The kind of man who notices structure in everything buildings, conversations, people.We met at a gallery opening.I was there for the wine.He was there because he designed the building.He corrected me when I called a floating staircase “minimalist.”“It’s not minimal,” he said, stepping beside me. “It’s deliberate.”I glanced at him. “That sounds pretentious.”“It’s precise.”That was the first spark.Not attraction.Friction.We ended up talking for two hours.About design. About cities. About why ambition makes some people magnetic and others unbearable.He wasn’t trying to impress me.He wasn’t trying to charm me.He was assessing me.And I liked that.When the gallery began to empty, he asked, “Do you always argue with strangers?”“Only the ones who can handle it.”A pause.“I can handle it.”There was something steady about hi

  • Wet Confessions   Confession No 97: Borrowed Sugar

    Ada lived in quiet routines. Married for five years, she had learned the rhythm of her life: work, dinner, phone call to her husband Tunde at the hospital, sleep. Silence was comfortable or at least predictable. Until Kunle moved in next door.He wasn’t loud or brash. He was friendly, observant, unnervingly aware. He noticed the subtle things: how she hummed while baking, how her ring caught the light, how she lingered over her coffee as if savoring more than just the taste.That Sunday evening, he knocked.“I’m sorry,” he said, holding a small measuring cup. “I ran out of sugar. Could I borrow some?”She should have said no. She should have closed the door. But curiosity and something unnameable made her step aside.The kitchen light was soft, warm. Flour dusted the counter, a tray of cookies cooling nearby. He lingered, casual but deliberate, as she reached for the sugar. Their fingers brushed. The pause between them was electric, filled with a tension that neither could or wan

  • Wet Confessions   Chapter 29: THORNS OF THE FIRST TEMPTATION

    THE CONFESSION She didn’t plan to say it out loud. It slipped out the way truths sometimes do quiet, unguarded, irreversible. “I don’t feel wanted anymore.” The words hung between them, fragile and naked. Dr. Elias Moreau didn’t react the way men usually did when a woman admitted loneliness. He didn’t rush to reassure. Didn’t soften his voice into pity. Didn’t lean back like he was uncomfortable with intimacy. He leaned forward. Not close. Just enough. Enough to let her feel that her words had landed somewhere real. “How long have you felt that way?” he asked. His voice was low, steady, practice but something in it made her chest tighten. It wasn’t warmth. It was attention. She stared at her clasped hands. Her wedding ring felt heavier than usual. “Since before the wedding,” she admitted. That was the real confession. Elias made a note but his eyes stayed on her, not the page. He watched the way her shoulders curved inward, the way she shrank when she spoke

    He noticed her restraint before he noticed her beauty.She didn’t sit fully back in the chair. Most people did collapsed into it, surrendered to the safety of upholstery and permission. She perched instead, spine straight, ankles crossed, hands folded neatly in her lap like she was afraid of spilling something if she relaxed too much.Her wedding ring caught the light when she moved.“I don’t know how to say this without sounding ungrateful,” she said.Her voice was soft but deliberate. Not timid. Controlled.He inclined his head, pen hovering above his notebook, posture open but professionally neutral.“You can say it however it comes,” he replied.She drew in a slow breath, eyes lowering.“My husband is kind,” she began. “He’s responsible. He never forgets anniversaries. He never yells. He provides.”A pause followed heavy, expectant.“And yet,” she continued, lifting her gaze, “I feel invisible in my own marriage.”The sentence landed with a quiet finality. She seemed surprised by

    They never asked if she wanted it.The envelope waited on her kitchen table when she came home, black against the pale wood like a bruise. No stamp. No seam. Just her name pressed into it embossed, not written as if the paper had been taught to remember her.Inside lay the key.It was larger than she expected, old-fashioned, its teeth asymmetrical, almost organic. When she lifted it, warmth bled into her skin, spreading slowly up her arm. The metal carried a faint scent iron, skin, something intimate and closed.She wrapped it in a cloth and placed it in a drawer.That night, she dreamed of mouths opening where doors should have been.At first, nothing happened.Then came the awareness.Not of the key itself, but of him the man she worked with, the one whose presence had always felt carefully neutral. They had shared elevators, meetings, nods of professional courtesy. A man who never leaned too close. Never let his eyes linger.Until they did.It was small. A hesitation before he look

    The Study of Sin (Eve’s POV) The first time I saw him, he was already speaking. No introduction, no greeting, just words, low and steady, cutting through the hum of restless students like a blade. “The story of the fall isn’t about punishment,” Dr. Holt said, chalk tapping the board. “It’s a
