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
NEW! New! new! Who else is excited for this one now? -- Chapter 24 - One last time. ~~~ "I think..." "Don't." "Can you just-" "No." "Racheal just-" "No." "How can you be so annoying?" Drew screamed in annoyance, throwing his hand in the air. I grinned, waving my hand dismissively. "Talent, duh." He rolled his eyes. "I am just letting you go this time because it's the last day of your fake relationship." My smile vanished instantly. "Thanks for reminding." I scorned. "Hon." Ira started and I knew it would something that I couldn't agree on. "If you like him so much, why don't you just tell him?" "And get rejected?" I snorted, twisting my lips. "No thanks." Ira rolled her eyes. "Take a leap of faith Rach." I gave her a stink eye. "Look who's talking." She leaned back in mild shock. "Hey I'm dating a player, I think that's a big enough leap for me." Drew scowled at his official girlfriend of 4 days. "I'm not a player anymore." Ira rolled her eyes again. "Tell that wh
New chapter. Naughty scenes. You have been warned. There are kisses and then some more intimacy! And then a twist... obviously. Chapter 25 - No more interruptions. ~~~ I pressed my lips together, remembering the kisses all too vividly. "And kisses." I agreed and continued. "But I am sure there's going to be candles, a blanket, a food basket, and of course the sunset. You know the typical." His lips formed a smug smile as we walked on the beach now. "Challenge accepted, the loser does whatever the winner wants." Before I could retort, his hand squeezed my waist, "Come on are you scared of a little losing, loser Smith?" My lips formed a straight line, "Fine, you loser Hastings." I lost, badly. Because although there was a beautiful sunset, there was no food basket or a blanket and most certainly not a single candle. I stared at the scene with a dropped jaw and a mix of emotions, partly I was ecstatic that Colton had actually thought of this but partly I was dejected that I l
That previously on... gives me such a series vibe. So full of suspense. Important Note: Chapter 26 and 27 are togetehr in this one. So please don't worry if you see the next chapter as 28. Just go on reading and love the book. Thank you!
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
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
$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
