"Zoey!, Mom's calling you." Amy yelled as she barged into Zoey's room.
Zoey was used to it but she didn't really mind. It wasn't like she could complain either.
"Are you deaf?, can't you answer?" Amy said waiting for Zoey's reply.
"I've heard you, Amy." Zoey said and Amy hissed before leaving Zoey's room.
And Zoey followed behind her to her mother's room.
"Okay Zozo, you're going to wash the sheets, scrub the floors and go to the dry cleaners to get Amy's clothes." Eve said to which Zoey frowned.
"What's with the frown?" Eve asked and Zoey dared to say something.
"Why should I do all that when we have maids?"
"Besides, can't Amy go to the dry cleaners to get her own clothes?" Zoey asked and when she was done. Eve started laughing.
"What makes you think that you're better than the maids?"
"And why should my precious daughter do stressful chores?" Eve said laughing.
"But I'm your daughter too." Zoey mumbled but Eve heard it anyways. And she gave her a dirty slap to go with it.
"Don't ever compare yourself to my sweet Amy, you're nothing."
"Okay?"
"Nothing compared to my daughter. Now go do your chores." Eve said in a half yell before Zoey scrambled off.
"Sometimes, that girl needs a beating." Eve said as Zoey ran away.
Zoey sighed heavily as she began to do her chores.
For Zoey, living with the Daniel family was like a ray of light in her gloomy life.
She could remember the first day she came to live with them. She thought that day was the happiest day of her life but now she knows better.
If one knew how the future would turn out, would one still venture into that future?
For instance, would Pluto have stayed on the solar system if it knew it was going to kicked out in the far future?
Maybe, maybe not.
Because for Zoey, she doesn't think she would have refused to be adopted even if she knew it would turn out this way.
The orphanage wasn't running really well then and there was less to eat with more mouths to feed.
Eve had showed up in a black gown like she was mourning. She wore a scowl on her face and it looked as though she was disgusted by the number of unkempt children around her.
She was sweating profusely due to the orphanage's lack of enough ventilation or even an electric fan to fight the heat. And so Zoey had done her best to win her favour.
She went over there and offered her a glass of water, it wasn't cold or chilled but it was something.
Eve had looked at her with raised brows as she collected the glass of water from her and gulped the entire thing.
And the next thing she said made Zoey understand that she had scored.
"I'll take this one." Eve had said that day and Zoey could never be happier.
It was as though her prayers has been answered.
"Now you!" Eve said as she pointed at little Zoey.
"Go get your belongings and let's go." She had said. She looked like she didn't want to be there even for one more second.
"I don't have any stuff." Zoey had said and Eve scoffed before turning and walking back to her car with little Zoey trailing behind her.
Eve's secretary had done the adoption process and Zoey was legally adopted.
"Go with him." Eve had said to Zoey when her secretary returned from the office.
Zoey did as she was told and went in the other car with the secretary.
During the ride to the house, she had been briefed on what her status was in the house.
The Daniel family had only one daughter and she had no one to play with and so her Grandma Nina had suggested that they adopted a child to serve that purpose.
"Why couldn't they just give birth to another child?" Zoey had asked.
Ofcourse, it was a reasonable question and it wasn't like she wasn't happy that she was adopted.
Heck, if they had given birth to another child then she wouldn't be in this car driving to her new home.
The secretary had then told her the truth that Eve couldn't give birth to a child anymore and she couldn't tell her daughter that.
It didn't really matter the reason why they were adopting Zoey anyways. All that mattered was that they were.
And when Zoey had arrived at the house, she was taken somewhere where she took her bath and dressed up in good clothes and not the tattered ones she came in.
She felt refreshed for once in a while. The only time they were given new clothes at the orphanage was Christmas because those were the time where people came to donate the clothes that their children wasn't wearing anymore.
As Zoey walked to the main house to meet her new family, she was excited.
Would they like her?
She heard on the drive here that she was a year older than their daughter so does that mean that she'll be her older sister?
A lot of questions were running through Zoey's mind and she couldn't wait to meet this new people she would call family.
But the moment she stepped her foot into the house, she knew that she wasn't welcomed there.
"This would be your new home, Zoey."
"That's your mom -Eve, your father - James and your younger sister - Amy." The secretary had explained.
Zoey looked at this people and they didn't spare her a glance.
Well, Amy did but her glare wouldn't count.
James took one look at her and walked away. Eve asked her to find anywhere to sit and she did as she was told.
The secretary had left, leaving her in the hands of these people and suddenly Zoey wished that the person who adopted her was the secretary instead.
She tried her best to fit in. She tried to play with Amy, after all, she was the reason for her adoption anyways but the look Amy sent her way had her going back to where she was seated.
And at dinner, Zoey knew that she wasn't family to this people. They didn't consider her that because when dinner was served, she was the only one eating a different meal.
"It's better than what you have at orphanage right?" That was what Eve had said to her.
Truly it was better but it surely didn't feel right.
Although the food in the orphanage wasn't that good, it was made with a lot of love and affection but this?
Not this.
And from that day forward, Zoey had known that she didn't belong here.
She had always felt like a thorn in a garden of beautiful roses and they hadn't failed to remind her of that.
"What are you doing?"
"Those sheets are expensive, how dare you wash them with the washing machine?" Eve yelled as soon as she came into the laundry room. And that jolted Zoey from her thoughts.
"I'm so sorry Mother." Zoey said immediately.
"Ofcourse you're sorry, what would possibly know about a designer bed spread?" Amy said as she came into the laundry room as well.
Eve was about to give her another slap when she decided against it and pushed her instead.
Zoey fell to the ground and injured her hands. She already had enough blisters as it is.
"Wash them with your hands, you stupid girl." Eve fussed before walking out of the room with Amy following behind her.
Zoey sighed heavily and took the sheets out of the washing machine. She put them into a big bucket and took them along with her to the bathroom.
She filled the bucket with soap and water and began to scrub.
"Wash it softly." She heard Eve yell and she answered her by saying -yes, Mother.
And as she washed it, her hands were stinging but she would bear it.
Because in a few hours, things would change.
She would bear this torture now because things were starting to look up for her.
Things were starting to change for good.
Her close friend Mike had asked her to be his wife and she had said yes.
She wasn't sure if she loved him but it was something she could learn to do when they get married.
It wasn't a big deal.
And this, was now her ray of light.
In the past, she thought getting adopted was her ray of light in her gloomy life but now getting married and leaving this house would be that.
And she couldn't wait.
"Zoey, hurry up, I have somewhere to be." Amy yelled at her.
Zoey quickly rinsed out the soap from the sheets and took them out to spread them.
After she did, she went straight to the dry cleaners to get Amy's clothes.
When she returned, Amy dragged the bag from her hands and went to try on the clothes.
Zoey sighed heavily before returning to her room. She had to get dressed now because if she didn't, she might not be well dressed when Mike would show up for dinner.
And so, she quickly put on one of her nice dresses. And as she was dressing up, a knock on her door made her pause.
Amy doesn't usually knock so it was kinda usually.
"Zoey." She could hear Amy call her name in a soft voice which was kind of unsettling.
She quickly wore her clothes and went to open the door.
"Mike is here." Amy said quietly and Zoey couldn't help but smile.
She would deal with Amy's unusual change in character later.
But for now, he was here.
Her ray of light was here.
And she couldn't wait to meet him.
She couldn't wait to see the only other person who has managed to love her after her grandma Nina.
She could take whatever Eve and Amy did to her because finally, she was important to someone.
It was a big day for Jake and he had lots of things to sort out at the company. And what was a better way to cool off his stress than sex?
Whenever Jake was stressed or under a lot of pressure at work, he liked to destress through sex. Nothing ever beat that.
But ofcourse, he didn't have sex with just any one.
He had two women he had sex with and most times he wasn't sure what their names were because he really didn't care. It was a no string attached policy and he wanted to do it with women that kept themselves clean. It wasn't that big of a deal actually.
"Okay then, let me take care of you." The lady said as she got into the bed and helped Jake out of his pyjamas until they were both stark naked under the covers.
He had a meeting by eleven am so you really couldn't blame him for wanting this at this time in the morning.
"Ready?" Jake grinned.
"Always." The lady said with a smug smile on her face.
"Ohhh, interesting." Jake's voice went an octave lower as he moved closer to the lady on the bed. He sure loved a challenge.
"It sure is." The lady smirked and he winked.
"Let's get this started." He mumbled as he started to suck on her neck.
His sex game was fire but he never kissed whoever he was having sex with.
He says he's saving it for the right person and besides, one can get over seven hundreds of bacteria from a kiss so it was best he saved it for one person.
18+ Rated.
(Only suitable for people over 18+)
The lady moaned as he sucked on her earlobes.
He pushed her slightly on the bed making her lay on her back and he got on top of her.
"You look good." He complimented and she giggled.
"I always look amazing." The lady said with an eye roll and Jake smirked.
"You wish!" He thought but still teased her.
"That's true. " He teased.
"Stop teasing me." The lady said with a giggle.
Jake chuckled and kissed her neck again.
She moaned as he gave her a hickey.
Jake however,didn't stop until he was satisfied.
"Can I give you a blow job?" The lady asked making Jake laugh before nodding.
Now, Jake was seated on the bed and she was on the floor.
She pulled off the remaining part of the duvet and his hard penis stood erected.
"Wow, that's huge." She said with a chuckle and Jake scoffed.
"This isn't your first time seeing this you know." He scoffed and she smiled liking what she saw.
"She's probably feeling fly, after all, she was one of the very few who was allowed to have sex with a sexy billionaire like himself, she should be happy." Jake thought to himself.
Then she wrapped her hands around it and stroked it gently. A light grunt escaped from Jake's lips.
He was already enjoying it but this was just the beginning.
She soon switched it to rubbing, rubbing his dick making him moan slightly. Then at the crucial moment, she took his dick in her mouth sucking it.
As she sucked him and Jake buried his hands in her hair grunting as she sucked him.
His motto was that a man shouldn't moan. It wasn't manly.
Her warm tongue on his dick made him so elated that he couldn't explain the feeling in fact.
She took him all in and brought his dick out of her mouth using her tongue to tease his dick cap giving him a ticklish feeling.
"You're driving me crazy." Jake said with a sharp grunt.
"You're yet to see this." She said getting up from where she was on the floor, going to the dressing table and picking up the condom there, opening it and going back to Jake who was naked on the bed.
She climbed on top of him on the bed, and wore the opened condom on his dick before she sat on his dick.
"The fu...." Jake's voice trailed off.
She tried to adjust into him as he tried to adjust to her. They haven't really tried this before so it was shocking.
Soon, Jake put his hands around her waist and she bent down a little to put her hands on his shoulder.
Then she began to move, in attempt to ride him in this unorthodox position.
"Ja...." She moaned as he tried to move his hips too.
"Oh.."
"Oh my.."
"This is amazing.." she said as her breath hitched.
They moved and breathed at the same pace.
"Yes,I could do this all day." Jake agreed.
"T-then w-why... don't y-you?" The lady tried to teased breathlessly.
Finally,she pulled him out of her and rested on the other side of the bed.
"My turn." Jake said with a smirk.
"What?" She said tiredly.
"Don't worry, I'll be quick." Jake assured but she shook her head in response.
"My job is done." She tried to say but Jake scoffed.
"Your job isn't done until your customer is satisfied besides you were enjoying it" Jake huffed and she scoffed.
How dare she scoff?
He pays her to do this and she scoffed at him?
"Don't you get tired?" She asked as an attempt to stop him but he shook his head in response.
"I want more." Jake smirked and she sighed heavily before agreeing.
"I need to go after this." She said and he nodded, removing the first condom and wore another one before getting on top of her.
Raising one of her legs up, he inserted his dick into her without wasting time and started thrusting in and out of her.
Pounding in with no mercy.
"Slowly please..." She mumbled but he ignored her totally fucking her senseless and making her moan loudly.
"Ahhhhhhhhh"
"Ooouu"
"J...."
"Jak... Ja..."
"J-Jak.."
She moaned his name until her voice trailed off.
"Ngnnnhh"
"Ughhhnn"
Jake grunted as he reached his climax, cumming to the condom before he pulled out as rested on the side of the bed by her side.
And for the next two hours, that was all they did.
Sex!
They changed styles and fucked over and over again until the whole room reeked of sex and then Jake let her go because that was what he does.
Once he was done with his conquest. He always let them go.
As Zoey walked out of her room,she felt alive. In some minutes, it was going to official that she's leaving this home and that was most certainly a good thing.
It's funny how life is sometimes, one moment, things are upside down but then, like magic, there's glitter everywhere and once it settles, you're right back in a fairytale again.
That was how Zoey felt right now.
Like she was in a fairytale.
Although having Mike propose to her was another fairytale.
Infact everything about Mike seemed like a fairytale.
Zoey still couldn't believe that someone like him could be interested in someone like her.
She's not even special. She was adopted and she's often maltreated in the place she calls home.
Her room is so different from that of her sister. While her sister has everything a standard room can have, her own room lacks color or ventilation. It only has one window and it's broken so when rain falls, she has to deal with the water splashing on her bed.
She could remember when Mike had asked her to marry him, he had copied a poem from one of Edgar Allan Poe's book and put her name in it.
She still remembers the poem infact.
"The moon never beams without bringing me dreams of beautiful Zoey Daniel. And stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes of beautiful Zoey Daniel."
She knew he didn't write the poem but it was the thought that count and she could only hope that Annabelle Lee, the real person it was written for would allow her to share some of it because the poem made her feel somewhat important.
It made her feel like she mattered to someone.
And although Mike had gone abroad to further his education and her mother had told her that he would never come back to marry her.
That he would find someone else worthy of him there, she was glad that it wasn't true and that he really came back to fulfill his promise to her.
And so she continued smiling as she walked to the door where her mother was already attending to Mike.
He looked older than he was before he left but he looked amazing nevertheless.
And when he looked to the side and found her standing there.
He opened his arms for her come in, and she ran into his arms.
The hug was warm and overdue and they both enjoyed it.
"Welcome." Zoey said in a shy voice.
"Thankyou, you look amazing." Mike said and gave her a peck on her cheeks.
"You look amazing as well." Zoey said with a light blush.
"Now now, let's eat Zoey, don't keep our guest standing by the door." Eve said with scorn in her voice but Zoey couldn't care less right now.
This was her moment and it made her feel great.
"Let's go and sit." Zoey said to Mike who took the hands she put out and they walked hands in hands to the dining where they would be having lunch.
"Why are you early?"
"You said you would be coming for dinner." Zoey said remembering their conversation from the night before.
"Oh yes, I couldn't wait to meet you that's why." Mike said making Zoey blush even more.
"Zoey, help me out in the kitchen." Eve said interrupting the moment.
"Yes mother." Zoey said following Eve to the kitchen leaving Amy alone with Mike.
"So, you like my sister huh?" Amy said to which Mike nodded happily.
"Why?" Amy thought to ask.
Mike was really popular back in college but he was quiet and introverted so Amy didn't think he was a nice catch. However, if she had known that he was from a reputable family, she would have snatched him from Zoey like she did to the other guys that were interested in Zoey.
She either badmouthed Zoey to them or offered them something Zoey could not - Sex.
She did that so often that she had lost count of how many times she slept with random men because she was trying to keep them from dating her sister.
But Mike? He was the one that got away.
And her mother had constantly put her down because Zoey got the catch and not her but right now, she was going to work her charm and teach Zoey once again that innocence wasn't everything.
And that all men wants the same thing - Sex.
"So why do you like Zoey?" Amy had asked again seeing the odd look on Mike's face as he was unsure of what to say.
"She's beautiful." Mike said.
"So you fell for her beauty?" Amy said smirking. She was seated opposite Mike so it was easy for her to trace her legs under the table to his. She was good at this.
She knew what men want. She knew how to get a man hard. Her legs were already in between his thighs and she could already feel his length and God!, was he huge down there.
Zoey was surely in for something.
"I don't think what you're doing is appropriate." Mike had said shocking Amy.
"What's she doing?" Zoey had asked once she returned to the dinning with a tray of food in her arms.
Something was wrong here and Zoey could feel it but she just didn't know what it was.
She looked to Mike's flushed face and Amy's shocked ones waiting for an answer.
"Nothing, she's just asking me why I like you." Mike said saving the day.
"Oh." Zoey said not sure if that was true but she had to believe it anyways.
She returned to the kitchen leaving Mike with Amy once again.
Little did she know that her fairy tale was going to crumble soon.
But maybe that was a good thing because Life really isn't a fairytale.
Life is funny and by funny, it's mostly - can you stop the car?, I feel funny or this meal taste funny kinda way.
Short form? Life's awful.
