Chapter 14

Lilith and Akara sat side-by-side as they had often done over the last few weeks. In fact, hardly a night went by when they did not see each other. Akara had started taking early morning shifts. With the Winter months in full swing, it meant that the sun only rose well after she went to work.

Things were working out for Lilith, but she knew it would soon start to crumble around her. There were only so many nights that Lilith could leave without staying until the next day before her luck would run out.

Even without those problems, Lilith had another issue to work through. She felt guilty for her reasoning. She had stuck around with Akara because, in many ways, it felt like she was with Ella again. In fact, she had almost come close to calling Akara by the wrong name on a few occasions.

The more she got to know Akara, the more she realized just how many similarities there were. They were the same height and felt the same way when she snuggled into Lilith’s arms. She even smelled the same as Ella, which Lilith later learned was because they wore the same perfume.

What was most troubling for Lilith was the fact that Akara already had a few items of clothing that she kept at her house. She simply had a hard time distancing herself from Akara, and it made for many sleepless days.

“Did I ever tell you about this guy at the hospital where I work?” Akara asked.

“I’m not sure, you’ll have to be a little more specific than that,” Lilith teased.

“Well, he’s the only male nurse on the staff, kind of a creep if you ask me. He’s only in it for the ladies, not that it’s ever worked,” Akara explained.

“I actually know Cameron,” Lilith admitted without thinking.

“How do you know Cameron?” Akara asked. “You don’t have friends, remember?”

“Very funny,” Lilith deadpanned. “Cameron helped me out with some stuff once. He’s kind of a hard guy to get rid of.”

“Yeah, that’s the same one then,” Akara laughed. “Anyway, get this. He was telling me the other day that he’s started seeing this stripper. They’re dating. It seems fitting if you ask me, but she’s got him under her little thumb I tell you.”

“A stripper?” Lilith asked. “That makes sense. Cameron would go for a woman who could support him, you know?”

“This is not one of those high-end strippers I know you’re thinking of,” Akara explained. “He met this one over in Dompton, at some shady nightclub being run out of a random guy’s garage.”

“Dompton?” Lilith laughed. “There are only about five houses there!”

“I know!” Akara said, amused. “And Cameron’s stripper lives in house number three!”

Lilith shook her head as she wondered just how a man like Cameron wound up in a garage like that one.

“What’s her name?” Lilith asked.

“You’re going to love this,” Akara said. “Her name is Safari.”

“Safari? You’re kidding. Is that her real name or her stage name?”

“Real name,” Akara answered, struggling to stifle a laugh.
