KIMBefore I could think clearly, I pulled Gio closer and kissed him. I feel him freeze beneath my kiss. His lip was rigid and cold, but after a while, it began to move. And he kissed me back.I hear Nathan inhale sharply, and the temperature drops a couple of degrees more, but I do not bother to break free from Gio; I run my hand through his smooth, long hair and deepen the kiss. It felt different. The opposite of what I felt with Nathan. I didn't feel any desire pooled down between my thighs, and I certainly did not feel any jolt of electric current. I feel nothing. Phoebe is wrong, I did not like Gio, but I could use him to get back at Nathan. I know it's selfish, I know it's wrong to toy with Gio's emotions. But I already said it. Tonight is not the night for logical reasons. I break free from Gio’s kiss, trying to catch my breath.I looked at Nathan, he looked pale and his eyes were red. Opposite of what I had expected. I expected him to be mad, furious even, but the look of p

KIMI walk to the ceiling-height glass window that overlooks the city below. With Boston at my feet, everything looks peaceful from up here, away from the bustling streets, polluted air, angry drivers, far away from Nathan. Would he even notice that I'm gone? Will he try to find me? The thought wandered into my mind, and I kicked it out immediately. I had promised myself on the way here that I wouldn't think about him and I wouldn't cry anymore.“Would you like anything to eat? I will call the room service.” Giovanni asked. Just about two hours ago, before I called him, I was hungry, looking for Nathan so he could fix me something to eat before I saw something I had desperately wished for the last two hours that I had not seen.Luckily, Giovanni was in Quincy for business, which is just a 45-minute drive to Dover. We met up at Centre Street and drove all the way down to Boston. “No. I'm fine for now, thank you” I said without looking at him.“Okay, if you need anything, I will be

NATHAN I arrived at Boston Logan International Airport by 10 pm. The flight is scheduled for 10:30 pm but it's going to be delayed for another two hours. One of the many reasons why I don't fly public transport. I need to make sure this never happens again. There must always be a bird and a jet on standby in case of emergencies. I sat in the deserted private lounge of the first class. There's a guy three rows behind me to my right. He is deeply immersed in whatever he's doing, typing away furiously like he has a beef with the keyboard. Another couple sits directly behind me. They seem lost in their own world as they cuddle and say flirty words to each other. The sound of their giggling makes me think of Kim. The way she blushes, the way she smiles secretly, the way her eyes convey her thoughts, the way she looks at me with passion, love, and lust. A smile curved my lips at the memories. The couple behind me suddenly went silent, I could hear some weird sound coming from behind m

NATHAN “Where's Kim?” My dad's cold voice had me frozen in a spot.I whirl around to face him, his face looks calm and composed, not for long anyway. “She left,” I said curtly, not wanting to go into details. He chuckled loudly and his voice echoed down the quiet hall. “She left? Or she's missing and you can't find her” Of course, he knew. It's his house, he will always know what is going on every second of the day. “She left…..and I can't reach her. But I'm going to find her”He walked closer to me, standing just a couple of inches away. He is a little bit shorter than I am but he still manages to intimidate me. His lips twitch and his brows furrowed in anger. “I told you to treat her right” “And I'm trying my best,” I replied through gritted teeth. He scoffs. “Trying your best? In two and a half years? Is this all you've got?”“Dad…I'm trying—”“Walk with me,” he said curtly, cutting me off and walking away down the hall.“No, I have to look for Kim”. He stopped in his tracks

NATHAN She captured my lips with hers, kissing me fiercely. But I didn't feel anything. I searched my heart for the hint, for a sign that backed up her claim but found nothing. I'm blank. Unlike when I was kissing Kim, I had a series of emotions I can't control, that I can't describe.Shit Kim!I push her away, and she staggers backwards, surprised.“Sassy stop this! Is this the reason why you ask me to follow you here?” My eyes were cold and distant. She can't keep doing this all the time we met. She can not keep acting Like she desperately wants me when she was the one who left with a word“Nathan….I….do you love her?” “You're not in a position to judge what I feel Sassy. I respect you as a friend, because of what you've done for me in the past. But I'm married now, I have a wife. And I wouldn't want her to walk in on something like this. Don't do it next time, please” I said and turned around to walk away.“She doesn't care. She doesn't care about you”. I stop in my tracks and t

KIMI walked out of the bathroom and ducked my head so no one could see the tears on my face. Damn you, Nathan, damn you!I ran upstairs into my room and shut the door with a loud bang that shook the artwork that was hanging on the wall.I lean against the door and put my head in my hands. What did I expect? He doesn't love me, and he has said that. Why did I dare that bitch? Why didn't I just ignore her and go back to my food? Tears pooled in my eyes, blurry my sight and they rolled down unrestrained, Unwelcomed. I sank to the ground, furious that I had expectations, that I dared to imagine things, that I had hoped that our relationship would become better after yesterday, after the kiss today.Damn you, Kim!I hit the back of my head against the wall, and again, and again, harder this time until I felt the pain. I bring my knees to my chest and fold my arms around it, holding tight as my tears continue to roll down uncontrollably. Stupid, you're crying over spilt milk. My subconsc
