#basically I've been thinking about voice acting a lot lately XD

[lilolilyr]

Tagged ages ago by I don't know who for Ao3 stats!

How many fandoms have you written for?

Uuh. Um. So many that it only barely fits in two screenshots even on my new bigger phone? XD

I'm on 517 fics btw, 526 counting stuff that's been posted on anon (you can find that number if you're member of a collection and click 'people' on said collection)

What's your favorite fic on your Ao3?

Would still have to be my Andromaquynh longfic In Your Stead <3 though I'm currently working on a Mirandy podfic project that might take its place! Still, not my own fic, but I already love the voice acting I get to do there :)

Have you posted elsewhere? If yes, which of those fics is your favorite?

Uhh most is cross-posted to Ao3 anyway? I think some ficlets on @floreleine might not be... (Btw if you haven't yet, watch Gunpowder Milkshake it's awesome!)

How many bookmarks do you have on Ao3?

1574 bookmarks! Lots of them probably on private tho, check out my account and tell me how many you see there, I'm too lazy to log off and in again xD I tend to bookmark as, well, actual page marker bookmarks as well as use it as a 'read later' function as well as marking fics I've already read and writing me notes on what I liked or didn't like about them or whether they might be triggering for me in ways not tagged, warning me to only re-read with with caution, that kind of thing... I also bookmark a lot of external works so I have them saved all in one place, bc while I have a livejournal and I think also ffnet account I don't rly use them and I wouldn't even know how to bookmark stuff there...

Plus as recommendations for others! I love the rec function, I've got 175 public recs at the moment, so check it out if you're looking for new reading material :)

...so all in all, my bookmarks are steadily growing xD

How many unread comments do you have?

253 🙈🙈🙈 I'm sorryy!!! In my defence there are always some where I'm like 'ill reply when the sequel's up' and then I never write that xD probably half are still unread bc of that... Rest is some I just love looking at, some so long I love getting them but I don't have the energy to respond in kind and feel like just replying 'thanks' would be cheap idk, and some recent ones just uhh laziness

(they're of course all read though!!! It's just the function called unread bc they're unanswered and I haven't marked them read without answering, I only do that for replies, but I have read every single one <3 thank you commenters I love you!)

Any subscriptions?

6 pages full of author and series subs from way back 2014-2016 🙈 I'm not doing it anymore and I'm Trying to get rid of them but it's so much work adsfghjkl (I still want to keep them somewhere so I click the series/a fic of the author and bookmark it with the tag 'subscription tag' to know I formerly had subscribed/would have subscribed if I still used that function - I just want to get rid of the email spam because that damn thing already completely murdered one email address, and I've switched my ao3 account to another email and that's slowly dying as well now lmfao and I Never check those emails I just check my bookmarks anyway so it's all very useless to me)

Any favorite tags?

I clicked favorite on a bunch of ship tags, whenever I was reading basically just that one ship and wanted it close on hand I added one and never removed them, they're McDanno, Milippa Prime, ClintCoulson, Ineffable Spouses and Andromaquynh

@poemsingreenink @glassbearclock @falyakonmp3 @incloudines @kla1991 @viharistenno @pers-books @xvnot15 @kaorimaxwell-blog @startrekgeorgiouery @danisnotmyname @lavendelhummel & any other mutuals and friends, feel free to do this if you want to, and you can also have a look at the other tagging memes I did lately, feel tagged in any you want to do!

Questions for easy copying: How many fandoms have you written for? What's your favorite fic on your Ao3? Have you posted elsewhere?If yes, which of those fics is your favorite? How many bookmarks do you have on Ao3? How many unread comments do you have? Any subscriptions? Any favorite tags?

4/10/23

Not a hugely eventful day. I now know why my upstairs neighbor was vacuuming at 4AM. They had family over, who were loud as hell and had a young baby with them.

I really didn't have a problem with it, I just... I finally committed to record my voiceover for the desire path project. And... it was like right when they started making noise. That frustrated me. But the sound didn't pick up, so that's really good.

It was so weird to be back in the booth again. Recording is so different from live-broadcasting. Doing takes is such a different creative process from improvisation, for real. I missed it, honestly. It came out pretty damn good. It took me a bit to get in my groove, and I really... kept my voice down... I've been anxious about it unfortunately, I wish I wasn't. But the hushed tone actually added a nice kinda... out on a porch late at night smoking a cigarette and telling a story kinda vibe. Which I really liked.

I'm a bit weirded out about why I'm keeping my voice down, why I'm insecure about that. I don't keep my voice down when I'm in therapy. I didn't keep my voice down on the phone when fighting with my mom, not nearly as much as I did while recording. It's weird.

It's something I don't really think about much. I don't speak out loud above a hushed tone or near-whisper... nearly at all anymore. It's very rare. Weird realization to have, right? I would guess there are periods where I go up to a week at a time without speaking at my full voice. How odd is that? That can't be healthy psychologically. XD

Anyway, the recording came out good. I cleaned it up, edited it, exported, popped it into Cubase and started to write music to go with it. I started with programmed strings, then transitioned to the midi keyboard to try to improvise on there, then said fuck it and just recorded guitar. But... the recording is like... over 10 minutes. That's a lot of improvisation, if you're not planning on repeating sections. So... I got a few minutes of 2 guitars improvising, and... I guess I'll just pick it up tomorrow or something. I lost steam.

I got chinese food and watched streams for the rest of the night. And that's about it.

Nice to be back in music-mode. And the voice work? That, honestly, that was the most satisfying part. So weird that I was prouder of that than of my music recording.

I remember late summer/early fall... I was helping a... former friend... with some recordings he wanted to do. He had a lot of voices, very distinct, he had potential for voice acting. I mean that. I basically... was his producer. And got some really interesting takes. And that was cool and all, but man... doing it yourself? It's so much... quicker. XD I can just adapt on the fly in real-time. "That take sounded insincere, just do it over real quick, but put yourself in this mindset". So much smoother to do that in a nanosecond in my head than to try to explain to someone what I mean, risk offending them, and pray they understand what I'm getting at.

So... I might look into doing some random voice acting gigs. Fuck it, if I say it's "for fun", then there's like no risk at all, right? I could even intentionally take gigs that are goofy and stupid, just for the challenge, just for guaranteed gigs so I can take that role to the next level. Watching all this RP is really inspiring me. And honestly, one of my biggest problems right now - in life - is a severe lack of confidence and self esteem. And there's really nothing that's more trial-by-fire than improvised roleplaying.

I've done it before, too! I played a guy on TwitchRP who was... when it was daytime in the game, he was a Jackass-cast-member type dude, but much more... low-key... more chill. And he wanted to be a stuntman. But when the sun went down, he would go and change his outfit and become "Little Ray", a young boy. Like a 7 year old kid.

I did not really enjoy playing Raymond, but absolutely loved playing Little Ray. I was very tempted to just convert the character to fully being a late-40's ugly man who had the mind of a 7 year old. A lot of people took interest in that side of him, and I loved seeing how they were completely thrown off by the transition, and how he retained no memory of the switch. But... what happened... is like... pretty much every fucking person tried to corrupt him when he was in child-mode. Gang members beat his head in with a golf club, his own "best friend" kept taking him out to sell weed, made him smoke weed and drove really fucking recklessly with him in the car. It ended up being really upsetting. I wasn't really mentally prepared, I guess. Because they just treated it like a cartoon, not like someone who was actually suffering from something pretty serious, and that at that moment he genuinely had the mental capacity of a child. And honestly? I really wish I had kept playing... and run into civs or cops, to get these guys some consequences. But like... I had this thing with him that like... he wasn't really supposed to know that he should go to the cops, he didn't really know that weed is something he shouldn't have, or selling it was illegal. Every time Luke took him out, I prayed the cops would show up. I would intentionally be loud and clumsy hoping to get them caught somehow. When we needed an EMS, Little Ray was loose lips the whole damn time. His naive nature worked both ways, you can trick him into doing crimes (some, I mean, some even a child won't do) but he also doesn't have the "street code" or common sense where you don't tell strangers that you were just out selling weed.

I liked the concept, but it started to get really dark. "What if someone tries to kill him? Or torture him? Or teach him a lesson?" Shit like that. It just really upset me, even in fiction. Like... even if it doesn't look like a child? It's still the mental capacity of a child. And honestly, I don't even feel like the cops would take a character like that serious enough to instill real consequences for like... attempted murder of a mentally ill person. Like... it definitely opens doors for powerful, dramatic RP, but like... everyone would have to be onboard with that, and I just... Ugh, I just hate the whole "gangs are cool, crime is cool, rap music, fast cars" bullshit. I know, it's GTA... so... Maybe my goal should be... Do some voice acting gigs, build up some experience, maybe fuck around on a public server or Twitch RP or something, then head over to WildRP. Red Dead. Maybe not the Little Ray character, but... I've got some ideas.

I'd love to do a fortune teller or something, a mystic of some kind. But like... something non-traditional. I don't really want to be a preacher. Too... clergy. Too many connotations. I don't want to do a native because... I would want to get that 100% right and I just don't feel up to sinking ages into research on a culture I know zero about. I wanted a sorta... layman. Someone who is overlooked, or marginalized, who won't be targeted. My first thought was a swamp shaman, like... a hillbilly type, who spoke simply and directly, but was super wise and profound within that syntax. Like... translating esoteric philosophy into "redneck" slang. That idea gets me really excited. And the other idea was the same kind of deal, but a hobo. No possessions, no needs really. No conflict desired. No need for money. A guide, an advisor. Just wandering around and offering advice, insight, readings, stuff like that... for food. That's all. Simple, to the point. I really like the idea.

So yeah, that's kinda where I'm at today. Didn't get a lot of sleep so I think I'm gonna get to bed early tonight.

From Across The Room

——————————————————————————-

Summary: Shinsou spots you from across the room, and suddenly there’s nothing else he wants more in the world.

Pairing: Shinsou Hitoshi x Female Reader

Warnings: Drinking (be responsible pls), mentions of uncomfortable touching situations,

Word Count: 1,698

A/N: This is a special for getting to 100 followers!! Loosely based on the song ‘Dance, Baby!’ By Boy Pablo, ‘Strangers in The Night’ by Frank Sinatra, and ‘Beautiful’ by Bazzi. Tbh at this point I should just make a playlist so you guys could have some bangers. But in all seriousness, thank you all for the love and support lately, it’s meant a lot. I can’t even begin to tell you how much it’s meant. I love you all 🥺👉👈

NO ARTWORK POSTED IS MY OWN AND IS FOUND ON PINTEREST

——————————————————————————-

Shinsou Hitoshi was not a partier. If it was up to him, he’d be home playing video games, eating chips and drinking a bang energy until he could hear the birds chirp beyond his black out curtains. But here he was, sitting on a couch next to his blonde friend that was practically having sex with a random girl he met with horrible music playing in the background. Drink in hand, Shinsou looked up at the makeshift dance floor only to have his breath taken away by a girl he could swear was an angel on this god forsaken earth. You were dancing with some of your friends, smiling as you tried to sing along to the song the best you could.

As you were blissfully unaware of the lilac colored eyes watching your form in fondness, a man approached you from behind and gripped onto your hips and pulled you into him to dance, the action making Shinsou scowl. What was he thinking? Of course a beautiful girl like you would have many others pining after you, he’s sure you wouldn’t even look in direction. Hell, the only reason people know his name is because he’s friends with Kaminari and Midoryia, and not by choice. Ever since becoming a pro-hero, he decided to take Aizawa’s route and go underground because he could care less about fame and attention, he just cared about helping people.

Shinsou was lost in his thoughts; he didn’t even notice your own look of discomfort as you tried to nudge the guy away unsuccessfully. The indigo haired man only noticed when he heard your soft voice speak up, even if it should have gone unnoticed with the background noise, he noticed. “Let go of me.” Was all you had to say for the young pro hero to stand up and be by your side in an instant. Towering over both you and the Male he raised an eyebrow, “Why are you still here if she said to let go?” His deep voice got your attention and you couldn’t believe your long time crush came to your rescue.

You had gone to UA, but you were in the support course and you still did support hero work, in fact you worked with Kirishima. Kirishima would actually have you help the other pro hero’s a lot too since your quirk came in handy a lot of times; you were able to see anything damaged or weakened just by looking at it. So you could easily tell a person's injuries or see what’s wrong with their costume and fix it faster than anyone. Because of this, you had known Kaminari quite well, since he was a little clumsy sometimes and he needed help to figure out what was wrong with his gadgets and you never hesitated to help, because sometimes shinsou would be there and you’d sneak a peak at him.

That’s why when he was towering over you with such an intimidating look, your whole body froze. Heat rushing to (S/C) cheeks as you couldn’t even force yourself to look away. After years of pining he actually noticed your presence? Shaking your emotions off you focus on the situation before you, subconsciously moving closer to the purple eyed boy. “Man you know how crazy bitches can be! She was grinding on me and then just got all weird, Cmon just walk away and we both avoid trouble” the man's words make you want to vomit as you looked at Shinsou with terrified eyes, which merely confirmed to him what he was already thinking.

Nodding he sighed before grabbing your waist and pulling you away fully from the man and anyone who truly knew Shinsou would say he was practically seething with anger, even if he came off calm and collected. “I’ll only say this one time, ‘man’, so listen good. If I ever catch you touching a woman when she doesn’t want it, I’ll personally break both of your hands in ways you never knew. Now, turn around and go home before I second guess my decision on letting you go.” The man didn’t even reply and just mutely listened to Shinsou so you only assumed there were quirks involved.

Turning, you moved to fully face Shinsou and smiled shyly, avoiding his gaze. “Thank you… Uh for helping me…” A lazy smirk found itself on Shinsou’s face as he shrugged, hand still on your waist. “It was nothing, I see a beautiful woman in danger and I help, it’s what I do.” (E/C) eyes flew up to meet his as your face heated up, “Wh- beautiful? Did you, Shinsou Hitoshi, call me beautiful?” Your knowledge of him seemed to shock him as he raised his eyebrows at you and tilted his head, “You know who I am?” Pulling your lip in between your teeth, you nodded shyly, not even being able to find the right words to answer him.

Shinsou himself gulped as he stared at you, not liking how his eyes drifted to your lips. The beating of his heart was loud in his ears as he thought about how you knew him, yet you still didn’t shy away from his touch. With a quirk that’s been called villainous, Shinsou has been judged most of his life. It didn’t help with his personality being cocky and seemingly self centered, so when you smiled at him while saying his name, it’s like he was housing a butterfly garden in his stomach. “I-I went to UA too… except I was in the support course… but I always admired your determination to be a hero. It’s very reputable.”

Okay now he was just gonna slap himself. You went to UA? How could he have not noticed you!? Yet you noticed him, not only did you notice him but you admired him! A blush spread across his pale skin, as his focus was on you and only you. “What’s your name? I mean, it’s only fair since you know mine” Now your heart beat was rapid as you played with your clothing. “You can call me Y/N…” Y/N… what a beautiful name, and it fit you so well. Replaying it over in his head, he chuckled a little before saying it out loud. “Y/N… I like it.”

If you died in that second, you wouldn’t care. Shinsou Hitoshi, likes your name. Oh god you’re going back to your highschool ways… although highschool you would have probably fainted already or ran away screaming. “I like you too- wait no- I mean I like it too. Not you too!” Shit, you were so weird. He’s gonna hate you and talk about you to Kaminari who’s gonna tell everyone- “Man, and here I wanted to take you out. But I only take out the ones who like me” he smirked smugly, making you choke on air. “Really?” Shinsou chuckled, nodding his head as he traced your jawline with his finger. “Really really.”

“Then boy do I like you , I've liked you since highschool!” Maybe that was too much information, but you wanted- no needed that date. Shinsou smiled softly and blushed, grabbing his phone and opening contacts handing you the device, “Well, I'm gonna need your number then” nodding, you grabbed his phone and put in your information, gulping as you couldn’t believe this was happening. “Y/N C'mon you’re our DD!!” Damn your friends for ruining your moment. Damn them to the seven circles of hell. Honestly, you debated on acting like you didn’t know them but they came and draped themselves onto you, making Shinsou chuckle. “I’ll see you soon, Y/N.”

*•*

After having to take care of your drunk friends you finally walked into your own place and sighed happily, going and changing into pajamas. As you flopped into your bed, your phone buzzed and you saw an unknown number had texted you and you pulled it up, furrowing your eyebrows as you forgot everything that happened.

Shinsou: ‘Hey, it’s Shinsou :)’

Oh my god. He texted you. He actually wants to know you. Before you could even respond you noticed that he texted you basically right after you left the party, which was hours ago. You ruined everything, he must hate you. How could you have not noticed that he texted? Dragging you out of your thoughts was the buzz of your phone, looking down you saw the miracle of a double text.

Shinsou: ‘I hope this isn’t too weird, but did you get home okay?’

He’s so sweet you might just die. Smiling softly, you let your thumbs move as you typed a response back to the handsome pro hero. You saved his name to a new contact, chuckling at the name as you were unaware of the name he had made yours.

You: ‘I’m so sorry! I didn’t see your text! But yes, I just got home! I had to take care of those toddlers I call friends XD’

On the other side of the phone, the indigo haired boy took a breath of relief seeing you were okay because ‘Angel’ responded to his texts, and didn’t block him for double texting. Shinsou Hitoshi was happy for the first time in a while, hoping that he would be able to keep your presence in his life for a long time to come.

Just Friends Pt.3

Pairing: KamilahxMc

Disclaimer: The characters are NOT mine, they belong to PB

Prompt: “She was able to catch your eye at the minute she stepped into the same environment as you. She was gorgeous, kind, interesting, brilliant and... Single. I never thought my type would be a serious, tall woman, who loved suits, with straight hair down her shoulders and beautiful brown eyes until I met her. It was very easy to fall in love with Kamilah Sayeed, the CEO, billionaire, she was out everyone’s league, the difficult part of the task was to make her love you back. But this was a task that I was more than happy to accomplish”

A/N: This is my newest work, I'm working on this fanfic which is basically the fluff / smut style, since you guys filled my message box with requests for smuts and I've only been writing so much angst lately XD This is for all the anons who asked this ❤️Anyway I have not abandoned my previous works, which will eventually be posted. The events occur after the battle against Vega

Ahmanet Financial

Kamilah’s pov

"Are you free tonight?" Hayley asked softly on the other end of the line.

"That depends on your definition of free,” I replied as I reviewed some contracts that were on my desk. It was about 18:00 pm when Hayley called. She was anxious, I could feel it in her voice. I had to admit that hearing her voice for the first time that week was very good, but I would not say that to her.

"Oh, come on. I have plans for us today, if you are available. And before you arrange any excuses, I've already asked Adrian and you both has no council meeting scheduled for today. So there's no place you can runaway, Miss Sayeed” She said boldly and I smiled at that.

"Us?" I asked, frowning with that unexpected word. “I have to admit I’m surprised with your call.” I said.

“Since you did not show up at the office this week, I found myself thinking about you and I thought it would be nice if I called you..."

"So you admit that you were thinking about me?" I teased with a smile on my face. She was thinking of me, that precious little human thing, how she always capable of surprising me. In my time of life, only few people were able to surprise me, but Hayley did it with great ease. She was impulsive, young, stubborn and extremely unpredictable.

"I... Um... Kamilah!"

"You said so."

"I didn’t meant that—“

"Oh, I think you did. It’s alright. I'm not mad at you thinking of me," I said with a smile and I heard her sigh.

"Yeah...Um... I ... I was just referring in case of the two of us... You know, maybe we could—" I smiled involuntarily, as I heard her stammer, imagining that cute red blush on her cheeks. "...You know, maybe we could go out and do something nice.”

"You know, I'm busy now, right?" I told Hayley, holding my phone in my ear.

"I know, I know! But you're always busy! And I do not want to bother, but you said you would release a day on your agenda,” she said, remembering my words perfectly, I sighed.

"I think I underestimated your memory. May I ask what your plans are?"

"So you're interested?" She asked, laughing.

"Maybe," I said with my eyes on my computer.

"I can guarantee you'll have fun," she said excitedly. "Sooo... Are you considering leaving work early for us spending some time together?"

I spent a few seconds reconsidering that, a part of me strangely was eager to spend time with her. And the other part thought that going out early work would not be a very responsible act on my part.

I sighed. I could hear her breathing perfectly on the other end of the line, eagerly awaiting for the answer. I wanted that. I really wanted spending so time with that young mortal. Who am I and what have I done to Kamilah Sayeed?

The irresponsible part won obviously, that was exclusively Hayley’s fault. Spending so much time like this with her, make that effect on me.

"Okay, I believe I can release my agenda for you, Miss O'Connell."

"Thank you, Miss Sayeed. You will not regret it.” She said and I could feel the smile in her voice.

Hayley’s pov.

"Are you going to tell me where we're going?" Kamilah asked as she drove through the streets of Manhattan.

I looked at her. She was unbelievably beautiful that night, which was not much of a struggle for her, but today she wore something different and casual that fits her nicely. She wore a white Gucci sweater, skinny jeans, oh my god, Kamilah was in jeans... She looked fantastic in jeans.

"It's a surprise! It would not be fun if I told you,” I said with a smile. I was grateful that she had not chosen a more formal look because the place I chose was far from something she was accustomed to.

"Can I at least know what we're going to do on Chinatown?" She asked curiously.

"Let's have fun! It'll be cool, Lily and I we used to go there all the time,” I said excitedly.

"I hope it's worth the time of drive." She said with her eyes on the street.

"Don’t worry." I touched lightly on her hand that was on top of the cambio. Kamilah stiffened, but did not take her hand under mine. "You worry too much when things are out of your control, right?" I said with a smile.

"Just a little," she said with a small smile. Stroking my hand lightly. “You look beautiful, by the way.” Kamilah said casually, and I felt my cheeks burn and my ears turn red. "And here we go, you're blushing again." She laughed.

Another twenty-five minutes of traffic and finally we arrived at our destination. Kamilah looked around at people walking through the streets and fireworks scattered around the shops, all well-colored, music echoing from everywhere.

"Can you explain now what we're doing in Chinatown?" She said impatiently again.

"Park there!" I said pointing to a spot that was a few feet from us. Kamilah rolled her eyes, but did as I said and parked the car.

I got out of the car and threw the handle of my bag over my shoulder. Today I had chosen something for myself, Lily was not at home so I had to turn myself, then I chose something more my style. A black tank top with several necklaces on my neck, shabby jeans with all star and my cross purse plus my beige leather jacket hanging on it. Kamilah got out of the car still looking around, as she was in a hostile environment, I believe she's never been here before.

"Come on, it's going to be fun. I'll introduce you to my favorite restaurant.” I said excitedly.

"Your animation is definitely contagious." She watched around and started to walk beside me. "I've never been here before."

"I love this place. It’s amazing"

"Is that so?" She replied with her eyes narrowed. She was so close. Oh my god, she smelled so good. That perfume...

"Oh, serious? Has not Mama Sayeed taught little Kamilah not to judge without knowing?” I asked with folded arms, standing in front of her. She studied me for a few seconds, before letting out a laugh that made me smile.

"For your government..." She said approaching me until we were inches from each other. Being so close to her kept me from forming concrete thoughts. "...My mother never said that." She said her lips so close to mine, her beautiful brown eyes burning mine.

"Sometimes I forget you're royalty, ma'am. I bet you had a lot of servants to straighten your shiny, moisturized hair with a comb, you have until today.” I said with a boldly smile and kept walking beside her.

"Not that it's in your best interest, but my hair is naturally smooth..." She said walking beside me, I could feel the smile in her voice. "But you're right, they used to comb my hair, but it was me who held the extra comb." I laughed out loud.

"I can not believe you're joking." I touched her warm hand, curling my fingers into hers.

"You're a bad influence," she said with a smile.

We went to my favorite restaurant, and I must say the food was great. They always surprise me every time. Kamilah tried not to show, but I'm sure she liked it. After dinner we walked the streets and watched the fireworks, we bought ice cream, which made the evening even better. When was almost midnight Kamilah stopped the car in front of my apartment and I saw the light of the room lit, Lily had already arrived.

"I hope you enjoyed it," I said looking at her. Kamilah smiled, a small smile, and I saw a sparkle in her brown eyes.

"Very much," she said. "But, if you do not mind..." She leaned forward, touching my face, I swallowed hard as she approached. Kamilah kissed me then, her lips were soft and her perfume made me lose my senses. At first she was gentle, but as the seconds passed, the kiss became rough, and when I found myself, I was out of breath, my tongue against hers, my mind spinning, and clinging to Kamilah's sweater. "Let's go to my house," she said between kisses.

"But, I told Lily..." I stopped kissing her breathlessly and looked at her. Kamilah looked back at me with pure desire in that brown eyes. Fuck. Was that what I was supposed to do? I mean, it's our second date, but we already sleep together. Twice. And just now we were going out, if I lower my guard now... would that be wrong? Oh fuck, but she's looking at me with those eyes, I can not even breathe when she looks at me like that She wanted me and I wanted her. "... Forget what I said, let's go to your house.” I said impulsively and Kamilah opened a widely grin.

Lily and Hayley's apartment 9am

I unlocked the front door and entered the apartment, closing the door behind me. Still with a smile on my face and with the memories of last night in my mind.

"Look who's come, if it's not the Obi-wan of sex." Lily greeted me with a sly grin on her face as she made pancakes. I felt my face turn red, left my purse on the armchair, and approached the counter.

"Obi-wan of sex?" I frowned at her. Trying not to turn red, obviously staying the same way.

"You are obi-wan and Kamilah is clearly Yoda. How was last night? You not came home,” she said with a laugh. She and her Star Wars references.

"Ah ... Um ... It was good. We talked a lot. She is pretty funny"

"My ass you both kept talking all night. You smell like sex girl, I smell her perfume on you, it's really good, by the way.” she said with a laugh. "I bet Kamilah bang you yesterday. You're even with a hickey on the neck.” She said pointing at me with a spatula, I tried to cover it uselessly.

"Lily! This is not a hickey here! This here... Is... accidentally I fell." I said embarrassed.

"I bet it fell down. In Kamilah's bed, that’s right,” she said with a laugh and I covered my face. “Girl look at yourself you look red as tomato. But if want to keep acting like nothing happened, so nothing happened.” She gave me a wink with a smile.

Ahmanet Financial 7pm

It had already been two months of weekly dates, sex nights at Kamilah's house, outside our relationship, the only person who knew was Lily. And it's been great, all the time I spend with her, my feelings only increase, if that's even possible. I could almost say we were dating, things have been going very slowly between us. Kamilah was not a big fan of the G word. So today I decided to briefly go over at her job to see her before going out with Lily for a girls night, since Adrian had given me the night off.

"Honestly, I do not care," she said as I walked beside her through the hallways of her office. She was dazzling in her black suit that looked perfect on her body, her black blouse had a neckline that valued her breasts, and I swear I had to stop staring. "Hayley, serious? Could not you send me a message instead of coming to my work to say you're going out with Lily?” She said.

"Hey, one day you'll thank me for giving you satisfaction where I'm going to you. And you do not check your cell phone at night, what would be the purpose? Besides, I wanted to see you.”

"That's cute, but I'm working." She stopped in front of her office door. A young brunette girl who seemed to be older than I was standing watching, with a tablet in hand.

"Hi!" I said as I caught her looking and her cheeks burned as she was caught looking at us. I reached out my hand and she hurried to squeeze it

"Hi, I'm Karen. Mrs. Sayeed's assistant." She said with a smile.

"We were finally introduced. I'm Hayley, Kamilah's future girlfriend. Nice to meet you,” I said and saw the horror in Kamilah's eyes. Karen tried to hold back the laughter.

"We're just friends," Kamilah said, trying to correct me seriously.

"Anyway, she is, but I’m not. How long have you worked here?"

"Ten years," she said.

"Holy shit. You've been working here for a long time, tell me, the job comes with a health plan, a dental plan?”

"Okay, Hayley. I have to work and you have to do whatever it is, come on.” Kamilah said pulling me into the elevator.

“Bye Karen!” I stopped in front of the elevator. "But I did not even tell you where I'm going with Lily tonight," I said looking at her.

"OK. Where are you going? "She asked impatiently with her hands on her hips. I prepared myself for her response after what I was about to say.

"So... Priya invited me to come to her club. Basically, we are going to one of Priya's shows,” I said, and at that moment I saw her features change. Kamilah's look of impatience turned to hidden anger behind those brown eyes.

"Are you serious?" She said.

"I came to warn you and ask if everything was fine. I know you and Priya are not very close," I said, watching her features. Kamilah sighed and ran her hand over her face.

“Oh, come on. It's just a show, and it's going to have electronic music and drinks, it's going to be amazing” I said excitedly.

"Of course not, why would bother me. You going to one of Priya’s shows, knowing perfectly what my feelings are towards that particular person and how she behaves when you're around?"

“Yeah...?”

"Go ahead then. If you want.” She shrugged.

"Are you sure?" I asked. "Um... So we're cool about that?"

"Sure why not?" She snapped angrily.

"Alright then! I'll call you when I get home.” I said with a smile and gave her a quick kiss on the lips, stepping into the elevator.
