Chapter 16 - He is so whipped. ~~~ Natalie Acker lived in a rich apartment, more of a condo. Her house was on the topmost floor, 35th and as the lift moved upwards, I mentally prayed for it to not have any short circuit or get stuck suddenly. I had claustrophobia since I got locked in the bathroom in third grade, don't even ask how that happened. I sighed in relief as the bell dinged on the 35th floor and we got out. On the right was a huge brown door with a fish made of thick threads hanging at the side. Colton rang the green-colored bell and stepped back. We heard some shuffling from the other side, a loud cuss, and then locks moving before the door finally opened. There stood a woman with blonde highlighted hair tied up in a messy bun and green eyes that squinted at Colton. Though that's not what anyone would see first, her main assets were her breasts, one look and there was no way that the garments Colton had found at Raul's pace weren't hers. Breast implants at their best!
A new chapter! Where are you reading this chapter?? Chapter 17 - Your snake just refused to hiss. ~~~ "I think I am going to die." "You think? I KNOW!" I scowled at Colton, slapping his arm. "Can you be a bit optimistic?" He returned my scowl. "I am a realistic." "No, you are an arsehole." "Who even says that anymore?" "Clearly me." He rolled his eyes. "Let's go get some ice cream." He started his car. I stared at him in disbelief. "We just found out 27 packets of cocaine and heroin and god knows what other stuff and you want ice cream?" He smirked at me, eyes dancing in amusement. "Are you suggesting that we have drugs instead?" "I am not suggesting anything of that sort!" I exclaimed, throwing my arms heavenwards. "The least you could do is be a bit considerate. I am scared the shit out." Colton turned to me and encircled his arms around my waist. I huffed, pulling away but he didn't loosen his grip, and instead, it tightened. "Racheal, how about we have ice cream and t
Chapter 18 - That weird supernatural guy. ~~~ "You did WHAT?" I winced as my mother's voice rang into my ears, bounced off the walls, and echoed in my ears again. Colton flinched too but didn't let it show. He was desperately trying to stay strong but he was miserably failing. My mother looked like the Satan herself, red in the face with anger, eyes narrowed furiously, fists cleaned and lips in a straight deviously disarming smile. Now only if someone gave her horns and a tail. "You, Racheal Amy Smith are grounded until I say you are not." She pointed at me. "Which means no phones, or novels or partying or meeting anyone outside who isn't blood-related, I don't care if some person is on death bed and their last wish is to see you. You will go to school and come directly back home. One step off the designated road and I'll tie you in the largest laundry basket and then dump you in a river myself. No regrets." She then pointed at Colton. "As for you Colton whatever Hastings, I will
Ayye, you ready? Are you ready!?? -- Chapter 19 - You can hold it if you want. ~~~ Saturday was a beautiful day. And I woke up with a huge grin on my face. Not. Instead, I was woken up by my annoying brother who was playing 'Turn down for what' at the highest volume, I bet people in Africa could hear it. I was surprised our neighbors, a couple of 40-something hadn't banged on our doors threatening to kill us if we didn't stop the racket. They were completely against technology or any new trend, they would be good Luddites. I pulled a pillow over my ear, groaning lightly. "Joseph turns down that damn volume" I shouted, my voice drowning in the song. I gritted my teeth, this is definitely not a good way to wake up that too on a holiday. "Mom, tell Josh to shut up!" After receiving no reply and the song continuing to play at the highest volume, I stood up furiously. "MOM!" No reply. "Mother! Ma! Amma! Mummy! Momma! MOM!! Omma!" I stamped downstairs angrily. I could only imagine
Congratulations on reaching chapter 20! Give yourself a cookie now! Chapter 20 - Whoa guys keep it PG-13! ~~~ "Oh." Was the only thing that could manage to escape my breath until something called sense kicked in. "But we haven't even kissed yet." His smirk widened. "I think we can sort that out." And without giving my brain to comprehend his sentence and react to it in a sensible manner, he picked the cooler way out. He kissed me. Finally. And I responded. Willingly. It took me barely two seconds to respond to his lusciously soft lips. The kiss wasn't rough and dominating, in fact, it was sweet, gentle, and extremely opposite to what I had expected from Colton. I felt my toes curl as the sand seeped between them, arousing me even more. At that moment I experienced lust rip through my body higher than Rebecca Black's voice breaking through my ears. I gently lifted my hand and rested it on his chest and that was when everything changed. His kiss turned from gentle to rough and
Chapter 21 - Your phone is not a Transformer. ~~~ "I am never ever drinking again." Eva mumbled from beside me as she struggled to stand on her feet. I giggled at her. "Me too." "Me three." Simone groaned. She had consumed way too much alcohol, even more than us, and seemed to be in regret mode now. Ira, the only mildly drunk one rolled her eyes. "Go on, why don't you challenge the guys in another drinking challenge?" I scowled as I remembered the challenge and how pathetically we had lost. After 30 minutes into the party, Alex and his friend whose name I don't even remember now, challenged us to drink alcohol. Of course, none of the girls agreed until Drew rolled his eyes saying 'Girls are such losers'. And that did it. It soon became girls versus guys. We were 7 girls and there were about 10 guys. Ira was sensible enough to excuse herself saying she needed to take a dump. But now we all were drunk above the neck and definitely over our capacity, I could swear I see two Simone
Chapter 22 - I just can't imagine you dating him. ~~~ "I am never drinking again." "You said that the last time." "I mean it this time." "You said that too last time." "Shut up Ira, you aren't helping." Eva grumbled. "I didn't tell you to drink this much." Ira retorted in a cherry tone. "You said that the last time." Eva retorted back, clearly annoyed with the twin sister's tormenting. "I am never drinking again." "You said that the last time." "I mean it this time." "You said that too last time." "Shut up Ira, you aren't helping." Eva grumbled. "I didn't tell you to drink this much." Ira retorted in a cherry tone. "You said that the last time." Eva retorted back, clearly annoyed with the twin sister's tormenting. Sighing I opened my eyes as I felt movement to my left, grunting and blinking as the light entered them for what seemed like after years. "I feel like I'm dying." Simone groaned from somewhere around us. I just wanted to close my eyes and kill the mental guy
It's so hard to write a courtroom scene when you have never been in one. But movies sure do help :P Chapter 23 - Define sophisticated stripper. ~~~ The courtroom was packed. Not only was this case a high shot one but was also fought by the best district attorney, Mr. Liam Morgan. The media was in a frenzy because my mother had sneakily let out the rumor that the case would be wrapped up in a day - today. No one except the people related to the case were permitted inside the courtroom, especially the media was prohibited and ordered to be kept on a tight leash but right outside the gates all guards were having a hard time preventing the crazy reporters from fighting their way in. The three of us sat on the third bench. Colton on my right side and Josh on the left. We had asked mom politely if we could attend this court session and she had said a flat capital NO until Josh grew annoyed and said it was because of us that she found a major clue and swore he would dive under a car if sh
$ChapterChapter 27 - Cast of Magic Mike XXL is effing hot.~~~Colton's POVI stared at my soon-to-be ex-girlfriend and ignored the pang in my heart at the word 'ex'. This was what was for the best, I tried telling myself but the look of pure devotion and authority on Racheal's face made that thought disappear. She looked like a woman on a mission and all I wanted to do was take her right there, right then which I knew wouldn't be appreciated. Stupid hormones!I had gotten so damn excited when she agreed to get a room just a few minutes back and then was nervous when she suddenly stopped, I thought she was regretting her decision of getting intimate with me which was stupid because every girl wants to be intimate with me. But the look of panic and distress on her face made me go crazy with worry. And her next words about knowing the killer were definitely not calming me. That girl drove me crazy!She had just suffered a trauma, I had no clue what memory she accessed when her eyes gla
Hello all, HOW ARE YOU??Also are you following me on I*******m yet? @womanonrampage . Find me a drop a DM or a comment on my post. I have met a few of you there, and you guys are the best!!!Let's do this then, gimme a cheer? Epilogue!3 years down the lane:"Oh my God! Yes yes yes!""Stop screaming!""I can't, it feels so damn good.""I am not going to do it if you keep screaming like this!""That's just unfair! You wanted to do this in the first place.""Gosh just keep moving your fingers!""I am! Yes, baby! Yes!"I finally threw my game controller on the couch beside me, with a satisfactory grin on my face."Take that, you Hastings! I win!"Colton rolled his eyes, "I let you win Smith"I snorted at that, a fun fact I had learned over the year, every time he lost he would act if he sacrificed his absolutely guaranteed win for me. "Yeah okay okay baby, okay" I teased, spreading my feet vertically, getting comfortable on the couch.Colton of course can't see me in any sort of comfort
The last chapter! Thank you for sticking around and being so awesome. Thank you for reading it all and tolerating the errors and flaws. I really hope you enjoyed this book! And hopefully you weren't a silent reader. Love ya! -- Chapter 34 - Why are you not naked? ~~~ "What do you think you are doing?" I jumped at the sudden sound, pressing a palm to my heat. "Dammit Colton, you scared me." I muttered turning around to face him. I almost stumbled back at the view, Colton stood there, proudly exhibiting his naked glory. I swallowed, hard, vivid images from yesterday's night invading my mind. The way he moans, screams, and gasps I muffled with a kiss. The way I took pleasure in his bliss. Head titled back and toes curled with joy, I felt a thrill run through me. I knew I wanted to do all of it, again and again, I was in deep trouble, oh boy! Colton stalked towards me, his eyes barely leaving mine. "What are you wearing?" I blinked at the question and looked down at my outfi
The story is ending....:( But on the brighter side, this chapter is naughty! So, you'll like it :P Intimate scenes ahead, you are warned. Proceed with caution. -- Chapter 33 - Make me scream again. ~~~ The funeral was torture. Everyone dressed in black with teary faces and a miserable body language, even the weather seemed to cooperate, it was drizzling lightly putting a gloomy envelope over us. It wasn't my first time attending a funeral, I had attended one, my own father's, 4 years back. And though that one was fake, I was sure this one wasn't because this was an open casket and I could see the silent pale dead body. I gulped, feeling my tears in the eyelids, I blinked them off. Looking around I realized I knew quite a few people. My eyes stopped as they landed on my father's rigid body, his eyes strained on the coffin. People talked beside him but he was too focused on the dead body to listen to their words. As if sensing my gaze, he looked up, sending me a sad smile. I b
Chapter 32 - One day we'll get married and have kids. ~~~ Hospitals and I didn't have much contact, the only time I had visited one was when Josh thought it would be funny to jump on the bed and ended up falling and spraining his wrist and ankle. But right now, right here, the huge white hallway felt too small, almost suffocating. The distinctive smell of chlorine didn't help at all. Everything seemed so blurry, my eyes couldn't focus on anything. Nurses dressed in pale blue rushed with plates, hardly glancing anywhere else. The speaker in the hospital called for some doctor for an emergency. A kid shouted some distance apart and was instantly scolded by his mother to shut up. Somebody let out a pained cry and instantly there were whispers of consolidation. I gripped the handle of my seat tightly, swallowing the ball of fear. My eyes closed and I hoped I would never have to come to a hospital again. "You fine?" I jumped up a bit, startled, and looked at Simone. I couldn't even no
Welcome to another chapter of ADWTD! Chapter 31. - The bleeding won't stop! ~~~ Finding my voice after a few seconds, I found the courage to utter the word to the person I never thought I would see again. "Dad?" "Well isn't this joy? Now I get to shot father and daughter." Angelo said, smiling like a devil. And then two shots rang through the night. -- "Don't talk to me." "But babe!" "Get lost." "Honey, I am sorry." "Go pee on yourself." "Very mature." Mom looked through hooded eyes at my dad. "Really Ashton? Do you really want to set fire to my anger?" Dad raised his hands, shook his head wisely, and took a good step away from her. Mom rolled her eyes, giving dad another stink look, and went and stood beside Liam. I wanted to shout, scream, scold them to stop acting like children and start realizing the deep shit that we were in but I had basically lost my voice or the will to speak. We were all huddled up in mom's room at my place, seeking comfort from each other, and
New! New! New! Previously on ADWTD: Everyone took a step back, eyebrows furrowing. "The killer is a am butler?" Liam asked confusedly. "That doesn't make any sense." Colton was still staring at his hand before his head snapped up, his eyes twinkling with excitement and a huge grin forming on his face, showing off his perfect teeth. "It's not 'The killer is a am butler.'" He said, delight at solving the last clue evident on his face. "It is 'The killer is A M butler' Abel Mackenzie's butler!" "Holy shit!" Josh breathed out. Holy shit indeed. Chapter 30 - Too much trash, way too much. ~~~ "So let me get this straight." Simone started, keeping the Pringles can on the table and looking at me with a flat smile. "You went to the cemetery, dug up your dad's coffin, made friends with some Magic Mike-" "Just Mike actually." Mike started but shut up at Simone's glare. "-solved a clue from 4 years back, found out the real killer. And didn't care to call me? Excuse me, while I go and s
New New New! What's your hobby? Chapter 29 - I can become a male stripper. ~~~ "What in the lord's name is happening here!?" The voice was demanding, extremely pissed off, authoritative, and oh so familiar. I turned slowly, my headache increasing along with my heartbeat. I gulped as my lips whispered with shock, surprise, and terror. "Mom." Behind me, I could hear Colton standing up, equally scared. "And Liam." Mike joined us too but his attention was on something else. "And a gun." "Mom." I whispered in horror, staring at the gun in Liam's hand and then at my mostly fuming yet a bit scared mother. She stepped forward, Liam right behind her. "Don't you dare mom me. Digging up your father's grave, your own father's grave!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? DID I RAISE YOU LIKE THIS? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? WERE YOU EVEN THINKING!!?" Unlike typical heroes, Colton wasn't ahead of protecting me. Instead, he was behind me, using me as a shield. Some boyfriend he is. "Um, there's a gun." He
Chapter 27 was merged with chapter 26 in the last one. So this is a continution, don't be too shocked and worried. Chapter 28 - One might think I am in love with you. ~~~ Racheal's POV We both bend down and grabbed the handle. "One, two..." I counted. "...And open." As soon as the coffin open, we fell back, gasped, and blinked again and again and again, not believing the sight in front of us. Colton finally found his voice, shaken and broken. "W-why is the coffin empty?" I shook her head with disbelief. "Where the hell is my father's body!?" I couldn't believe it, I just couldn't. I mean we did bury my father, at least we think we did but apparently not. Admittedly we didn't get to see his body but that was because they claimed it was burnt and in tiny pieces which shouldn't be seen unless you want to vomit and faint. Dad always wanted to be buried so we didn't do a cremation. But this, this was a shock. Was nothing in my life real anymore? Fake relationship, fake boyfriend
