Wet : The Pickup

He was only supposed to be inside for five minutes. She fixed laptops from her little flat above the corner store — everyone knew her as good with circuits and keys and secrets. He knocked, she opened the door wearing nothing but a loose tank top and soft shorts that looked more like panties.

“Hey,” she said, brushing a twist of hair behind her ear. “Got your laptop working again. Wanna check it?”

He stepped inside. Rain pattered against the window, the smell of solder and cheap jasmine candles hanging in the air. She bent over the table, showing him the open screen, the blinking cursor. He was trying not to look at the curve of her ass. He really was.

“My girlfriend’s in the car,” he said, scratching the back of his neck. “So—”

“Five minutes,” she purred. “Won’t take long.”

It didn’t. One kiss. One slow drag of her nails down his stomach. She sank to her knees on the threadbare carpet, tugged his jeans open. He told himself to stop her. He told himself this was insane. But her mouth was warm and slick and too damn good. The way she moaned around him made his knees buckle.

He finished faster than he wanted to. Came with his hand fisted in her hair, trying not to say her name too loud. He zipped up, breath ragged, heart hammering — fuck. The car. His girlfriend. He muttered thanks, grabbed the laptop, bolted for the door without looking back.

She followed him out — barefoot, hair wild, mouth swollen and wet. The rain caught her shoulders, made her tank top cling to her nipples.

“Hey!” she called out, loud enough to cut through the drumming rain. His girlfriend rolled down the window, confusion flickering across her pretty face.

The girl laughed — a sharp, wicked sound that sliced the night open.

“Hey babe!” she called to the girlfriend. “You might wanna ask him what he left in my mouth before he ran out with his laptop.”

Silence. His girlfriend’s eyes flicked from him to the girl and back. The rain kept pouring. No one moved for a long second. He wanted the ground to swallow him. And the girlfriend — her face went white, then red.

Wet till dawn — not the rain this time.

✍️ "Weak in the Knees"

 He had me against the wall before I could say his name — fingers digging into my hips like he’d paid for the right to bruise me. He kissed me like he was angry, tongue sliding against mine until I gasped — that sound he loved, the one that made his grip tighten. By the time he slid his hand between my thighs, my knees were gone — soft, trembling, useless. I whispered don’t stop but I didn’t need to. He wasn’t going anywhere. He knelt right there, lips on my inner thigh, mouth making promises my body already believed. And when his tongue finally found me — hot, slow, devastating — my back hit the wall and I heard him laugh into my skin. “Weak in the knees for me, baby?” All I could do was moan — and give him everything he’d come for.

✍️ Somebody’s Shoulder Is About to Give Up

 Somebody’s shoulder is tired. Not from lifting weights — but from carrying everyone else’s silence. She smiles like she’s fine, but she’s tired of being the strong one. The listener. The fixer. The one who holds everyone together — even while she’s falling apart. She answers texts when she’s the one who needs comfort. She claps for others even when no one claps for her. She gives. She bends. But she’s starting to break. You’d never notice. Because she hides it like a pro. But if you look closely, her eyes say: “I need someone to carry me now.” Somebody’s shoulder is about to give up. And the saddest part? She’ll still ask you if you’re okay — while she's quietly drowning.

I get jealous over someone who isn’t even mine.

It’s embarrassing, honestly. Feeling jealous over someone who hasn’t promised me anything. Someone who owes me nothing. Someone who might not even like me back the way I like them. But here I am — getting irritated when I see their name pop up with someone else, getting quiet when they don’t text back on time, overthinking when they post something that doesn’t include me. I act unbothered. I pretend I’m cool. I respond with “lol” and emojis like my heart isn’t acting stupid. But inside? I’m burning. Not because they’re mine but because I wish they were. I know it’s foolish. I know I have no right. But feelings don’t wait for permission. They attach themselves quietly, softly, and then violently — especially when you try to ignore them. Jealousy without entitlement is the worst kind. Because you suffer silently, pretending you don’t care, while hoping one day they’ll choose you so you can finally stop lying to yourself.
