"You're here!" Nathan appears out of nowhere. He isn't wearing his skates and must have been on his way out of here. Looking for me? I don't know. I'm not given time to think before I'm lifted off the seat by my unrealistically tall boyfriend. Feet upon feet of solid muscle. Goddamn. Nathan mak
Alice Nathan hasn't let me go since he kissed me. His hand is on my thigh as we drive silently to my parent's house. A quick glance at his profile makes me swallow thickly. I've always been lonely-Alice, and easy to control Alice. I've never dated anyone before, never even had a friend over. So I
"I'm only here to pick up my phone," I inform my mom. "Have you seen it around here somewhere?" My mom reaches into her pocket and then wordlessly holds it out for me to take. She was, without a doubt, planning on keeping it hostage. But since Nathan is here, she doesn't dare to enter dictator mode
Alice I follow Nathan up the stairs. The other guys are partying, and there are people over, but Nathan presses his finger to his lips with a smirk behind it. His eyes are mischievous. Tempting. My pulse flares, and I nod my understanding. Be silent. It actually makes me feel excited to sneak aro
He prompts another moan from me by rubbing his thumb against my clit. His mouth is also at work, kissing over my skin. It feels like I'm burning up. I want something to fill me, remove this shaky, restless emotion within me. "Alice, my Alice…" Nathan nips at my neck and works his way down to where
"Alice..." Nathan hisses, and then I feel another inch... Oh-my-god... So huge... So sexy... My eyes roll into the back of my skull, and I arch as his wide tip presses further into me. Inch by inch, stretching me. It feels so good. Nathan is making sure we both feel every bit of his claim, every bi
Alice It feels great being Nathan's small spoon. We are lying in his bed, which is too small for us both, but it's alright. This way, we are pressed like sardines against each other. It's cozy, and I shudder whenever Nathan opens his mouth to tell me more about himself. We are having a bonding se
"Nathan!" I argue, distraught by his promises. "You can't tell me things like that, like... We might not even last. You're moving away in May. It's December now, and... Yeah." "How about you come with me? Move in with me?" He hums. "The more I think about it, the more sense it makes..." "What?!" I
Caroline After watching the hockey game, I’m still sitting on the bleachers. Rebel and Alice have left, but I’m waiting for Andrew to come and find me. My heart is pounding in my chest, and as soon as I hear a door open to my left, I realize that it’s now or never. I have to tell Andrew how I fee
Caroline Shame fills me when I look down from my seat in the ice arena. I'm here to watch Andrew's game, but so are Rebel and Alice. They are sitting a few rows below and shooting glances that fill me with guilt. I'm a terrible friend. Rebel had her operation recently. I never went to visit her
Caroline It feels weird sleeping in the same bed as Andrew. After the drama with Jonatan, Andrew refused to go home, and we fell asleep watching a movie. The problem is that I jerked awake again, and now my heart won't stop racing because my ex-boyfriend is cuddling with me. I glance to the side w
Caroline This must be hell. Andrew gave me time to think about us, and I didn't have it in me to turn him down right away. I will turn him down, but I will pretend to think about it to make him happy. In my world, that is giving someone false hope, but Andrew doesn't seem to agree. He is happy I
And what the hell, I didn't know he still liked me?! "Andrew... we were toxic together. All we ever did was fight and have makeup sex. Then we fought again. It was destroying us both. So no, I don't miss us at all." I'm a liar. I miss us, and we both know it. Andrew and I had bad days, but when he
Caroline "Take this pea package and hold it against your eye," I give the package to Andrew. He is sitting on a chair in my kitchen, shirtless because his t-shirt is red from his bleeding nose. Jonatan punched him in the face, which wasn't smart. Out of the two, my hockey friend is the better fig
Caroline and I hooked up after breaking up, and I thought she wanted me back. But it turns out she only wanted sex, and the next day, she went out with another guy. I called her a cheater because I didn't know our getting back together meant nothing to her. I was hurt, pissed off, and then she alm
Andrew I'm on the beach with Caroline. We are sitting on our sunbeds underneath the dazzling sun. I'm spread like a seastar while she sits with her knees bent to her chest. A water bottle is held by her hand, and I catch a droplet running down her chin as I eye her in secret. Since her scars ar
Caroline I'm sitting in the hospital lobby. It's time to leave, but Jonatan is too busy with some modeling gig to come and pick me up. Luckily, I got it covered: I was close to calling a cab an hour ago, but it seems Andrew got my back. He texted me and said he would pick me up from the hospital.
