LilyI was so close to melting into Ryker’s body before mustering up the strength in me and pushing him off my body. I jolted up to a standing position. The heat coursing through my body was still there. I said nothing and rushed out of the room. I didn't release a breath until I reached the kitchen. Marcus’s mother had started baking the meat pie already. I was going to do everything myself even without the need for the maids help but the woman offered to help. I lied when I said I made it for Ryker. Well, partly him and partly me. I was craving a meat pie and decided to bake since the ingredients were available. But since the woman believed I made it for my husband, so be it. “Thank you, Ma’am,” I said as I approached her. She took off the apron and set it aside on the counter before smiling at me. “You're welcome. And do call me mother. I'm your mother-in-law.” I don't know how I felt about that because, from the very first time, I noticed how Ryker looked at her. He doesn't cons
Ryker"Ah!" A wince left Lily's lips when I applied the ointment to the cut on her arm. I couldn't resist shaking my head with a light smile. "You do know you're overreacting right?" I said."I'm hurt as you can see. There's blood." she snapped pointing at her arm with a deep frown. That made her look like a child whining. I don't blame her. Blood is a sensitive liquid."But still. It's just a small cut. Nothing to cry over." I covered with spot with a plaster. Lily pulled her hand away. "I'm not crying." I closed off the lid of the first aid kit and took it back to its stop. I always make sure the first aid kit is up to date. "There's something called thank you, you know," I said returning my focus to her. Lily rolled her eyes and spared her arm a look before she muttered. "Thanks." I heard it but decided to play deaf to her words. "I didn't get you?" "I'm sure you have ears you heard what I said." I took a step towards her. Giving a reasonable space between us. "I have but I didn
LilyNo matter how much I tried to think about what Ryker said two days ago, I couldn't get what he meant by his words. Wasn't he the same person who said I'm crazy? Why do I feel like his words were hinting at something that I don't want anyone to know about me? The pain I always masked up by acting all brave. Even Harry doesn't know how much effort I put into turning us into who we are now. But he doesn't care. All he cares about is getting me in trouble. If Ryker hadn't interfered the other night, I would have broken Harry's arms. He had no reason to lie about Ryker. Someone he doesn't know that much for him to go as much as to take money from other people.The office door was pushed open and Ryker walked in. He dropped a brown paper bag on my desk. "What's this?" I asked eyeing the bag."Your lunch." His reply was short and a bit off too. First Ryker had never gotten me lunch at work. Second, it was my first time seeing a solemn expression on his face or should I say an expression
Ryker15th October. This day is unforgettable in my life. It is a day I tend to feel all the weight of the world pressed onto me. My mother's death anniversary. I always buried myself with work so the day would move faster. So that I won't think about how much loneliness I felt whenever I remember she was no more. As usual, the family visits her grave. It was my father and I before. But since Marcus and his mother came into the family, we all visit together. It had become a tradition. I respect father for remembering his late wife despite how he pisses me off sometimes. It showed his wife is still in his heart.However, things were different now. Lily and Hilda tagged along. Lily had no idea where we were going. I only told her to wear formal black outfits we would be going out with the family. I could feel her gaze on me as we arrived at the cemetery. I know she’d attack me later on.The truth of the matter was, that whenever it's a day to the death anniversary, I tend to be curled
LilyI woke up with a headache banging my head. I slowly sat up, held my head with my hands, and allowed my eyes to clear from the sleep. I looked around the bed and then at my outfit. My head snapped towards a clearing of voice. And then I saw him. Ryker standing a few miles away from me, arms folded across his chest. "And what are you doing there staring at me?" I blurted the words out. I discarded the bed covers ready to get down the bed when I saw that my legs were bare. The baggy top I was wearing didn't cover my lap.Wait....Last night Bella and I went to downtown nightclub. We were enjoying our drinks before Ryker showed up and then...I covered my mouth with my palms and avoided eye contact with him. I heard his footsteps moving towards me. His foot was the first thing I saw because my eyes were cast down. "Are you back to your senses or do you need me to dip your head inside the water again." came his deep voice. Was I imagining or does his voice came out pissed.And what di
Lily My eyes kept on glancing over at Ryker who was busy looking at his desktop screen. I wonder if he was as restless as I was. Or was I the only one who found it difficult to fall asleep last night? The memories of how his hands felt on my skin didn't leave my head. I know it meant nothing but I felt like it meant everything. It's unlike me to get carried away like that but Ryker made it so. He made me feel as if all I needed was for him to touch and break me down. No one has ever looked at me so intensely like that. When he said he knows me better than I do, I felt it deep down. Like, how did he manage to see through me? To see the walls I've built around me. How? This week was going to be a busy one. The club would be attending two matches in the month. With two weeks interval. I haven't still gotten the hang of the club but I can say I know what to do as a manager. How to accomplish the tasks that I was supposed to.It was lunchtime. I planned to meet up with Bella. I picked
RykerEvery part of my body wanted to kiss every inch of her body. I didn't know I so much craved her body until then. With our faces barely an inch away from each other, I realized how badly I wanted to have a taste of her lips. The same mouth she use in saying crazy things and threatening people with. Claiming her lips for the first time felt like she had struck a part of me. As if she had control over my body. But then again, I couldn't go any further. I knew letting loose wasn't part of the agreement. Maybe having a taste wouldn't be bad but I couldn't go further. I had to leave to get some fresh air. I ignored my father and his wife seated in the living room and made my way out.I knew I needed a fresh breath of air. And Ace house sounded like the perfect place to go. I hopped on my bike and alighted out of the house. A look of curiosity was plastered on Ace's face as he opened the door for me. "Why are you here?" Came his question. I didn't answer immediately and pushed passed
Lily"The number you are trying to call is not reachable at the moment, please try again later.""You must be fucking with me, Harry." I cursed as I dropped the phone on the couch and raked my hands through my hair in frustration. I returned home from my night part-time job to find it all messed up and empty. First, the spoiled brat twin brother of mine made all the mess. Secondly, he was nowhere to be found. At the late hours of the night. All Harry does is use his allowance on video games and betting with his friends. No one frustrates my life pass Harry. No matter how much I scold and kick him, it doesn't stop him from messing around. He does it in school and at home too. Move around with dangerous gangs. I can never forget my first encounter with the gang leader. Ryker Oscar, the notorious and most popular bad boy in the whole high school. I was going to take out customer's orders at the restaurant I work as a waitress. I mistakenly spilled the milkshake on his shoes. Topped wit
