Just Checking Up Part Ten: A Bittersweet Midnight

Yvette Francaise

Rip:A subtle force tugged at my blankets, a clammy sweat drenching my skin. Sitting up with a jerk, the worn camouflage comforter floated to the floor. A twisted version of my mother stabbed Silk’s side of the mattress repeatedly, her wrinkled black dress looking worn. Seconds from having a damn heart attack, a swing out of the bed had her dragging across the floor by her waist. Throwing her into the bathroom, a chair underneath the doorknob locked the beast in her porcelain confines. Every breath shortened, Silks’ name exploding from my lip...

Just Checking Up! Part Nine: A Scary Wake Up Call!

Yvette Francaise

Silks:“I can’t sleep.” I mumbled to myself anxiously, my wedding band glinting in the moonlight. Pausing for a moment, our honeymoon would have to wait. Snatching my purse off the nightstand, the fact that my father was alive bit the deepest part of my mind. Joining the team yesterday, the file on all he said running through my mind like a damn train. Tugging on a simple black sweater dress, a shake of my head had it drifting to the floor. Changing into a silk blood red sweater that showed them to the world, a yank of a pair of a stretching...

Just Checking Up! Part Eight: Cinnamon and its Bittersweet Notes!

Yvette Francaise

Rip:Cinnamon drifted up my nose, the drink reminding me of how my mother nearly murdered Silks yesterday. Guilt ate at me, tears welling up in my eyes. Running my fingers along the rough conference table, the texture irked me. Ticking of the clocks along the wall woke up an aggressive migraine, throats clearing around me. Questions faded in and out, a loud what exploding from my lips. “Do you think you could get her to join our team?” A couple of them requested, the past days getting us nowhere. “After our week off in honor of your honeymoon...

Just Checking up! Part Seven: A Thorn in my Side!

Yvette Francaise

Silks:Mavis dragged me into the local dress store, her perfect bun accentuating her ladylike features. Dusting off her silky black A-line dress, her pearls glinted in the morning light. Focusing on her fancy pearl covered heels instead of the wedding dresses, a panic attack waited in the wings. Fussing with Rip’s borrowed sweater, my fishnet tights began to rub against the skin on my bump. Scratching my beat up sneakers on the polished wooden floors, an icy voice paralyzed me. Looking up slowly, a tremble claimed my body. Please don't be rea...

Just Checking Up! Part Six: Broken Memories and Twisted Files!

Yvette Francaise

Rip:Silks poked at the quiche on her plate, her appetite not existing after a severe panic attack. Choosing to sip at the ginger tea instead, Mavis inquired of her health. Mumbling something about morning sickness, the excuse simply had to be bought. Scratching at her neck, ruby beaded along the fresh marks at the nape of her neck. Dropping her hand to her lap, her antsy energy picked up. Pulling her onto my lap, my arms draping around her waist did little to stabilize her. Struggling through the dinner, every other second was spent being pa...

Just Checking Up Part Five: An Odd Book Club and a Found Family Member

Yvette Francaise

Silks:Sucking in a deep breath after a long nap, a wrinkled hand on my shoulder had me jumping ten feet into the air. Herb had to run some errands out of town, the library being the sole place with cameras. Mumbling something about a book club reserving the table, I couldn’t leave fast enough. Stealing away to a dark corner with my new laptop and worn leather bag, her cold icy blue eyes glared darkly at how his band t-shirt fell to my knees. Fussing with my new solid gray tights, my beat up sneakers didn’t speak of a person of respect. Shoot...

Just Checking Up Part Four: An Omelette with a side of a Secret!

Yvette Francaise

Rip:Scrambling the eggs, a zoned out Silks frightened the shit out of me. Wearing one of my band t-shirts, this blasted suit felt wrong. Knowing she was having panic attacks alone tore my hearts to shreds, the searing pan hissing as I poured the seasoned eggs in. How do I help her out? Chewing on my bottom lip, her depression led to her not eating for the past couple of days. Forcing her to eat felt rude but the baby had to eat. Crisp edges popped up, a sprinkle of cheddar cheese distracting me. Folding the egg over, her quiet voice threw m...

Just Checking Up Part Three: An Unexpected Surprise and Confrontation

Yvette Francaise

Silks:Staring down at the positive pregnancy tests, the past three months played out in my head. Staring at the calendar on the wall, the date was September ninth. Having missed two months of that lovely visitor, an alarm bell had been raised. Raw stupidity brought me to this point. Tucking them into the small drawer underneath the sink, this secret would be hard to tell. Tugging at the oversized emerald sweater, the soft wool floated over my slightly bigger breasts. Hiding the small bump, a quiet fear cowered behind my tired smile. Slipping...

Just Checking Up Part Two: Secrets of a Small Town

Yvette Francaise

Rip:Huffing in my casual outfit, the rest of my team shuffled awkwardly in their suits. Little did Silks know that my job title was captain of a government team in charge of finding out about the cult behind her small town. Getting close to her proved to be a treat, Silks having nothing to do with it. Captivated by her burgundy waves and gorgeous eyes, her barista skills were bar none. One thorn in my side had been that Lace girl that seemed glued to her side, her hair being dyed the same burgundy at one point. Imagine my shock when I get a ...

Just Checking Up!

Yvette Francaise

Ding! Checking my phone, a text popped up. Reading that it was from Lace, a single tap opened it up. Grimacing at it, her drama cast shadows across my face. No one needed this crap, I grumbled internally. Then again, my dumb ass should have blocked her. “Silks, just checking up!” I read bitterly, her words meaning nothing after she stole my boyfriend. “Can you come out for a party, babe!” Slamming my phone down on my nightstand, the answer was a freaking no. Clattering noises echoed downstairs, chills running up my spine. Fussing with my bla...

Defrost my Heart Part Twenty-Two: The Trails of Venom

Yvette Francaise

Lady Nitro:Flipping through the endless piles of evidence, nothing made sense. It took me a few seconds to realize that I was utterly and completely lost in the matter, a knock bringing me out of my train of thought. My old man dusted off a layer of ice from his usual suit before entering the large conference room, his mask hiding his obvious anxious smile. Clearing my throat, the rubber of my uniform crunched underneath my own layer of ice. Did we both have to suffer from the same levels of stress?“Amber is a sweetheart. I hope your relatio...

Defrost my heart Part Twenty-One: A Fond Kiss and a Disaster!

Yvette Francaise

Master Elements: Change dawned on my life, love biting me in the ass. Emberox entered my office with an impatient what do you need, his arms folded across his usual super suit. What did I do to deserve that attitude? Fuming visibly, shouting bounced off the walls last night. An argument placed him in a foul mood, my former husband skills pushing me to fight the urge to dig around for the cause of their fight. “How about you join me today? I want you to meet my new lady friend before Nitro. Then you can tell me if she is worth a meeting betw...

Defrost my heart Part Twenty: Refusal to Bow Down

Yvette Francaise

Lady Nitro:Staring numbly at Goldheart’s corpse, the autopsy tools glinted in the lights. Extracting her blood, Goldenheart’s reaction replayed in my head. How could someone so close be so abusive? Then again, shit like that happened all the time. Chewing on my bottom lip, the answer rested in her blood. Cutting open her chest, blackened organs broke my heart. Frozen tears shattered next to her, my thumb rubbing the back of her hand. What made this powerful enemy a cracked doll? Father wandered in, frozen tears glistening in the corner of hi...

Sting of an Estranged Heart!

Yvette Francaise

“I don’t understand!” I stammered anxiously, my trembling hands tucking my violet hair behind my ears. Darting my copper eyes around the room, the harsh news that my estranged mother passed stung harder than I thought it would. Wondering why the hell they called me, a layer of clammy sweat drenched my skin. The silk of my jet black blouse clung to my ample breasts, a dark history coming to life. Every breath shortened, a rusty skeleton key getting slid across a carved wooden desk. Words faded in and out, the corner of my lips quivering. Fini...

Defrost my Heart Part Nineteen: Plans Gone Bad!

Yvette Francaise

Lord Goldenheart:Lady Nitro signed the discharge papers for me, her kind eyes flitting back at me. What was going through that wild mind of hers? Fussing with her mask, the braids were a new hairstyle. Signing the last line, she spun on her heels. Placing her hands on her hips, hope could almost be seen in the distance. Jamming a bracelet onto my wrist, the gold matched my usual golden suit. A needle slid a tracking bug into my skin, a series of curse words flooding from my lips. Don't freak out, anything is better than death. Anything is be...
