    Summary

    Samira is nothing if not a realist. She can accept, without rancor, that her feelings are hers alone, that they are not reciprocated and never will be. He’s her attending, he’s eleven years older than her – and, most importantly, she is nowhere near the caliber of woman that he deserves.

    So she shouldn’t feel anything when he comes in one day, Al-Hashimi beside him, her hand resting on his back.

    Summary

    “But this?” he reiterates, looking down at her phone, “This has to end here. I don’t want you to contact him again.”

    The skin of her bottom lip took the blow of his words. She felt herself shaking, breathing in and smelling the lingering cologne on her clothes.

    “Andrew.”

    Summary

    Samira’s mouth gaped, cheeks flushing red, but still, even she couldn’t hide the small smirk that played at her lips. “Seriously?”

    The volume of the music only increased, causing her to shrink back into her seat, her palms shooting up to cover her face.

    “Serious as a heart attack.”

    A giggle escaped her, and his stomach tightened at the blissful sound. “Oh, so you’re making dad jokes now?”

    When she groaned and somehow sank deeper into her seat, he moved his hand to rest carefully on her bare thigh, “Buck up, kid,” he tapped her once, just enough to set her skin aflame. “Still got a long way to go.”

    -When Samira needs to get her things out of her childhood home sooner rather than later, her and Abbot embark on a road trip together. (And of course, there’s only one bed).

    Summary

    He glanced at her in between each page turn. The passage of time, another breath in and out of her pouted mouth, a step closer to the end of whatever this was.

    Abbot kissed her face again after that thought. Greedy and small. He needed her. A lifetime spent dodging addiction, through decades of temptation and goddamn good reasons to get numb, and he fell down this fucking rabbit hole of a woman in the span of a year. Not even, he reminded himself. Didn't even last a year.

    Bad fucking idea, brother, he could hear Robby's voice now. Abbot excised him from his mind. He wasn't interested in being occupied by some fabrication of an equally fucked moral compass, when he had the flesh and blood real deal beside him. Her closed eyes and pretty nose pointing due north.

    The day after + a day in their life long after that.
