Devon Carter finished playing the video game and watching yet another new movie. He's so boooooored, it's not even funny.
This is exactly why he didn't take the fucking leave when it came, that's why he left it to become long overdue.
But after the last mission, the boss was determined to let their team have their rest for at least two months before they resume stronger and well-rested. At thirty-three, he works for a very private top-notch Extract and Rescue Organisation (EXO). He kicks asses and saves people for a living.
Yeah, definitely an adrenaline rush.
He snorted mentally. Yeah, fucking-right. The only way they're gonna return is crazy and half-insane.
One month has passed already, and Devon is counting for the remaining month. He's tired of the vacation.
He's visited all his four sisters and their husbands, and he's spent time with his mother who's staying with their eldest sister, Carmen, who's the only person older than him.
He'd gone on a tour in Jeju Island, and he'd visited clubhouse more than a whore on promo.
He got up again and went out to the barn. Since he has nothing to do, he can help the workers feed the livestock.
An hour later, his cellphone rang. He picked up the unknown number.
"Hello, baaaaaaibe." Came the sultry voice.
Devon shook his head. He really doesn't need this right now. "Anne."
"Yes, baby. Can I come over?"
"Nope. I'm outside town. I'll call you when I get back." He lied.
"Oh...." Her disappointment was apparent. "Okay. Call me."
"Sure." He hung up. Anne is only but one of the one-night stands he's had since he got back to Wyoming, Texas.
Only, Anne doesn't want to leave him alone. The woman doesn't understand the word 'I'm not interested.'
He sighed and went back to feeding the chickens.
Hell, he's very bored, dammit.

"I don't know what to do, Yenna," Raniella said to her friend, pausing her typing on the desktop in front of her.
In her office on the highest floor of the skyscraper, she sat behind her desk trying to get a job done since morning.
It has proven impossible because she can't forget the call from her mother last night.
Yenna sighed, shifting the files she has on her hands to rest on the other hand. "Maybe you should just go home alone and tell your mother that you and 'your man' broke up a few days ago, and that's why you ain't back home with him."
"And endure long hours of advice? The pity looks?" Raniella threw her perfectly manicured hands up in the air, "she'll start sending me books again on 'how to catch a big fish, you know my mother."
