“Kendra!” I scream as I let the pack of takeaways fall from my hands and I rush into the house to look for Kendra and make sure she's okay.“Kendra! Kendra, please be okay” I scream and tears continuously roll down my cheek. I take a halt at Kendra's door and I say a silent prayer before opening the door and I see more blood stains.“Kendra! Kendra! Please, where are you?” I scream and rush to grab my phone to give Kendra a call.I dial her number and could hear her phone ringing. The sound was coming from my room and I hurriedly rush into my room.“Kendra” I whisper as I see her body on the floor and scurry to her side. I turn her body towards me and I see a smile appear on her lips.“Kendra, are you fucking with me? Really?” I say and smack her hard in the arm.“Ouch!” That hurts, Kendra says.“I was trying to prank Joel and you just ruined it” she sighs“Get your fucking ass up and go clean the house. You scared me to death. Don't you ever” I tell her. Annoyance is evident in my vo
Jim’s POV“Calm down man and tell me what the problem is, stop pacing around the room” Nicholas tells me.“I don’t know what she’ll say” I reply, still pacing around the room.“You know who is so good with relationship advice?… your brother Jonathan” Nicholas tells me and I sigh because I know it’s true“Alright, fine! I’ll go and apologize” I say in defeat.“Hey Jonathan” I say, knocking calmly on his door“Yes? Come in” I hear him say from inside.I open the door and I see Jonathan lying on his bed and operating his phone.“Oh Jim, yes?” He asks shockingly.“Hey bro. I wanted to apologize for the other day”.“You mean last week?”“Yes, last week, I’m sorry, bro. I shouldn’t have addressed you in that manner when I know fully well that you always get things done” I sigh, and it feels like I’ve let a gigantic burden off my chest.“Now, was that so hard?”“No it wasn’t. But we are cool, right?”“Yeah we cool man”“So I wanted to ask you something”“What’s that”“I’m anxious, man! I thi
Anastasia's POV“Will you be my date to the ball?” I read out loud.“That's so cute” Kendra teases“So what are you going to say to him?” Jim asks eagerly.“I cannot afford to go to a ball. I really can't, but it's cute that he wanted me as his date”“I could use from my savings to buy you things needed for the ball” Kendra persists“I'm fine girl, I'm really tired and I need to go to sleep, so goodnight guys, thank you” I smile“Goodnight” they chorus and leaveI set the flower on my mini table and fall asleep.I wake up earlier than usual because my stomach couldn't just wait for a few more hours to growl.I head into the kitchen to make some fried eggs and toast, trying my best to not wake the sleeping couples.I hear a knock on the door and since I wasn't expecting anybody, I decide to ignore. Maybe my stomach was playing tricks on me.The noise becomes persistent, and I take it as my cue to open the door.“Yes?” I say to the man standing in front of my door and disturbing the pea
Jim’s POV“Not again man! What is it this time?” Jonathan asks calmly, ignoring the picture I’m throwing in his face.“Why do you still have this picture? The picture of you and her?”“Jim, don’t overreact okay?, that envelope has been there for a while, and I’ve not had the chance to clear it out. It’s really nothing if I still have the picture, you know. I don’t even know where she is man, I have no connection with her”.“But I hoped you were going to kill all the memories of her after what had happened” I say calmly, surprising myself and surprising Jonathan“I’m sorry, man, but I loved her too. I can’t just throw everything anyway, Jim. You need to understand that even though I respect you as my brother, I can’t always make things happen the way you want them to”.“I get it” is all I say as Jonathan parks the car in front of the house and hands over the key to Nicholas to park in the garage.“Aren’t you going to ask about Anastasia and how everything went with her” Jonathan asks,
“Umm hey” I say, trying as much as possible to remain calm“Yes?” The girl who I presume to be Anastasia’s roommate replies.“Can I have her number? I need to call her to make sure she’s okay” I plead.“How can you not have her number yet you both have been going out for quite a while,” she tells me sternly.“I’m sorry” I reply, quite taken aback by her behavior. Maybe she doesn’t know I am a billionaire.“I’m calling her anyway since you didn’t care enough to have her mobile number”She searches for Anastasia’s name on her call log and clicks on her name immediately she finds it. The phone rings for a while and then disconnects.“She better be okay, young man. She better be okay” Anastasia’s roommate warns me.“She is okay. I know she is okay. But can you please give me a vivid description of what the person who came to pick her up looks like?” I ask in hopes of getting her to talk.“She was blonde and slim, average height, she had glasses on. It looked medicated. And she wore a long
“What do you mean, fuck this ball? I want to meet with your coworkers, or don’t you want them to know me? Are you ashamed of me?”“Anastasia, let’s get you out of here” is all he says, and I push his hands away when they try to hold me steady“So you’re ashamed of me, huh?” I ask.“No, I am not. That’s why I want to ditch this ball to be with you tonight. Don’t you want to be with me tonight?” He asks me.“Of course I do” I say, and he places his hands at the small of my waist and I place a kiss on his lips, clearly ignoring my surroundings“I don’t think you would want to do that out here princess” he smiles at me“You’re sexy” is all I say as I try to make my steps steady, taking into cognizance my surroundings.“I hope I didn’t mess up back there” I tell him when I get into the car“Don’t worry about it princess” he says, and I pull his head in for a kissThe kiss is hungry as I bite on his lower lips and he moans. His tongue seeks entrance into my mouth, and I grant it. I suck on
Jim's POVIt takes courage and a lot more than that to get the words out of my mouth.After what happened in my past. It has always been hard for me to open up to a girl. But look at me laughing out my ribs when I'm with her.She gives me butterflies and I can't stop but imagine what life without her would look like. I want to be with her. She makes me so happy, and I know It's selfish to want her for just myself, but I do. I want her to be beside me every day of the week and every second of every minute. So I guess it is only right to let her know how I feel.“Will you be my girl” I say, not expecting the words to leave my mouth, but it does anyway, and I don't regret it. I anticipate her answer, and it only makes me nervous.“I need an answer, princess” I tell her when she doesn't give me a reply. She looks worried, like she's contemplating if she wants to be with me.“Jim” she says“Princess” I say, satisfied with the nickname because she does look like a princess and deserves to b
Anastasia’s POV“You need to come home now” he reads out loud and my intestines clench“Receiving that type of message has never been good” I tell him“Want to call, to find out what’s wrong?” He asks me.“No, I don’t want to do that. I need to go home”.“Let me drive you”“Okay” I mutter as different thoughts of what could have gone wrong cluster in my head.“Everything will be alright” Jim says to me as he goes further to place a kiss on my forehead.“Thank you” I mutter.“Here, wear this” he says, handing me a simple gown and I smile appreciating his effort, not even thinking about when or how he got the gown. I put it on, and he wears his shorts and a T-shirt.When we’re both ready, he holds my hands and guides me down the stairs, into the corridor and out of the hotel.I pause for a bit for fresh air. It seems I was suffocating mentally and I needed the air.“Are you okay?” He asks. Sincerity in his voice.“Yes I am” I reply“Let’s get going,” he says, grabbing me by my hands and
