Natalia (Free Flow Friday)

Preface: Natalia is a secondary character in both Prep School Sins and the sequel. I am contemplating if I could give her her own spin off book.


The youngest of four daughters, but without a doubt the most beautiful. Long flowing dark curly hair, deep olive skin, and penetrating hazel eyes. Her body had more curves than a roller coaster, but there was no height requirement for her ride. From a distance she looked like a princess born into a shining castle with the world served up on a silver platter. Those who knew her best would say she was all seven deadly sins wrapped up in a pretty little bow.

Natalia Fazio was unhappy and she didn't know why. The powers that be had given her a life most others would have envied: a loving family, money to buy anything her heart desired, a natural athleticism, intelligence, and a gorgeous outer shell. Despite all this she felt hollow and sought solice in drugs and sex. She craved sex the way someone would crave air after holding their breath underwater for a long time. Natalia needed to feel that physical connect with others in a way only sex could provide. And then when she prefered solitude she turned to drugs for an escape.

She resented when people called her actions thoughtless because she put lots of thought and effort into anything she did. What they didn't understand was that she just didn't give a shit about anybody but herself. While her siblings were sitting lined up like bastard puppies craving biscuits of affection, Natalia was off serving her own interests. What was her motivation? She simply did what she did to prove that she could. The best way to get Natalia to do something was to tell her she couldn't.

When she was sixteen she started screwing her younger brother's best friend. Sure she had other options, a beautiful girl like Natalia had countless options, but she wanted Reed. What initially drew her to him was that forbidden fruit concept. Reed was only fourteen; young, impressionable. She was the stranger in the white van offering him her candy. Reed was so eager to please Natalia that she could get him to do anything, anywhere, and at any time.

Thanksgiving 2000 Natalia gave herself something to be thankful for when she looted the family safe and skipped town. She traveled the country for years stretching that money and holding down odd jobs. It was amazing the path she could create for herself when she was no longer held down by the Fazio name. It was a daily dose of act now think later. Drinking, smoking pot, and sex with random strangers. Natalia was purely driven by her animalistic senses. She was Eve throwing a house party in the Garden of Eden.
