Chapter 10

After I had processed what had happened. I tried holding Taranis’s arm, to keep him at bay but he leaned down closer towards Ezekiel, whispering something to him that I could not hear properly but managed to catch a few words, it was something about a fork in an eyeball. I could only assume he was threatening him with things he did not want me to hear.

Ezekiel’s expression turned dull and grey, his eyes widening ever so slightly, it slowly turned to anger and dismay as he stood up and brushed his clothes off, leaving grimly.

I dig my fingernails into my palm.

“Thanks, I think I could have handled it but I appreciate your help.” I let him know awkwardly. I hadn’t expected him to intervene. Hell, I didn’t know that he was even aware of the fact that I was sitting behind him. It was strange but also strangely comforting. I think in that moment, my negative feelings about him took a turn for the positive and I wasn’t sure why I hated him in the first place.

    Chapter 11I had a peaceful night’s sleep. It was like my body knew that I was going to be safe, that it was okay to relax and simply allow myself to recharge. It was unexpected but I was grateful for it. No more unnecessary stress. When I woke up. I was obviously late. Completely ready to bash Taranis for hoarding the bathroom and breaking my precious rules, I sit up in bed and rush to the bathroom. I was about to bang on it when the door opened. “I um-” I begin, not sure where I was going with this.“Didn’t expect me to get ready on time did you?” He put his towel over his shoulder as he shook his head a little to set his hair. He looked different. He looked very different. “You… dyed your hair?” I notice. He looked surprised, clearly not expecting me to notice it.“You can’t tell me it doesn’t look good.” He murmured as he fixed a few strands of hair in the mirror with a grin, he looked back at me, the smile still plastered on his face.My heart skipped a beat.Not fair.

    Chapter 12 “Oh you know, just this and that.” She said slightly nervously, she must have caught on to the change in his aura.Taranis didn’t seem like he wanted to let it go. “And what exactly is this and that?”“Just that you’re good looking and a lot of girls here want to get with you.”He scoffed lightly, as if he didn’t believe her. Turning to me, he says. “Are you perhaps, one of those girls?” He was joking of course, but she didn’t seem to understand that intention. “What, Hazel? Oh she was completely disgusted with having a boy roommate, made me think she’s into girls instead haha.” She laughed excessively, her eyes continued fluttering. I raised my eyebrow, I had not expected her to say something like that, it definitely threw me off guard for a second. She thought I was into girls? Does it really seem like I like girls? I think about it. My hair is a typical wolf cut, I definitely do not get boy haircuts. What else? No makeup? I do wear large hoodies and loose pants, does

    Chapter 13 I’m not sure how I ended up in this position. In fact, I was under the impression that Aria did not like Taranis at all, considering how she told me to be careful of him while counting all of his supposed sins. She had brought a friend along, a tall muscular blonde guy. Either she didn’t notice or is ignoring the fact that he is completely smitten with her. He was like a golden retriever puppy, fetching whatever she wanted him to get. She wanted a coffee? He would say, “Be right back, my queen!” and come running back with the coffee. Of course I might be exaggerating a little. I can’t help but admit that I was a little jealous of her skills. She makes friends easily, all guys are into her. My first impression of her was that she might be rude or snobbish because she’s tall and pretty, with a great figure. She wasn’t either of what I had expected her to be but.. How could I put it? It was a privilege, that’s the best I could say. I wasn’t exactly judging her for it. People

    Chapter 14I waited and waited, asked 3 more girls who came into the bathroom but of course my luck would be this shitty that not a single girl has it. “Not one person? Not one!.” I complain as I clutch my stomach. This wasn’t good. My cramps were unusually painful today. As expected, not working out definitely gives me bad cramps. I hear a knock on the bathroom door outside. “Hazelnut?” I hear his familiar voice. He must have heard me through the door, was I that loud? “Everything good in there?”I sigh and pace around. I stop pacing immediately when I feel that it was increasing not only the cramps but also the flow. This is bad, at this rate I would have to change my pants if I’m too late. I decided to call Dani to see if she could bring me some pads. She didn’t pick the call. It was then that I checked my messages and saw that she had already left, she said her parents had come to visit so she was going back to the campus. Aria and Luke were still here so maybe I could call Ari

    Chapter 15I wake up, feeling exhausted and tired. I was not sure why, maybe it had something to do with the throbbing headache I had. Anyhow, I was grateful that today is Sunday. Yeah, I look around at my surroundings, as if I was searching for someone. My room was empty, which was exactly how I wanted it.Next to the bed on the table, there was the bottle and a jug of warm water. I could tell from the condensed particles on the glass, making it slightly foggy. Did he warm it up for me? I put the water in the glass and take my med. That's it, I’m going to start to work out from tomorrow, I can’t handle bad cramps. If I had gone home this weekend, dad definitely would have put me through a grilling training session for a few hours. I’m glad I didn’t go home yesterday.I eat some cereal and take a shower. There was a knock on the door. I get up and go open it. “Do you even know what time it is?” Aria complains. It was her and Dani, waiting outside with an impatient look on their fa

  • Bad Boy Roommate   Don’t buy this chapter . It is not part of the story.

    Don’t buy this chapter.This chapter is not part of the story. Buying it will be useless. So do not buy.It is simply to complete the word requirements of this month.So let’s see. Why did I decide to write this story? I wanted to visualise an ideal boyfriend. So far all the male characters I’ve written, I like them for sure but I never truly wrote a YES I want to marry this guy type of boyfriend. I’m wary of making him too perfect so I’m definitely trying to add faults in his character. After this story is complete I plan to write one called Warrior’s mage. I am actually very excited concerning both of these and I haven’t liked writing a story this much since The Mafia Prince. My least favourite story that I’ve written is Just a Bite. My favourite completed however, is probably demon king. I liked the pacing, the plot and the ending was reasonable. Don’t want to spoil it so I won’t say anything. I wrote just a bite when I was 15 so clearly it is not up to par in terms of grammar o

    Chapter 16I noticed the hand that took away the glass. It was covered in red abrasions and bruises, especially around his knuckles. As if he had just come back from punching someone. I didn’t dare comment on it. What would I even say? Besides, I think the alcohol was finally starting to kick in, or did his eyes have something to do with that, I wonder. I hadn’t eaten much before the party, I think that’s why the alcohol was starting to hit like a ton of bricks being thrown at me. I felt the urge to spout whatever nonsense that came into my mind without any filter, which I now realize is very dangerous.Very dangerous. I better keep quiet. I should.But I was just having way too much fun. The exhilaration. It felt like a huge weight was lifted off of my shoulders. I felt light.“Uh. Maybe 3 or 4?” He said honestly. I grab another shot and Taranis takes it away. AGAIN.“But whyyyyyyy.” I whine, drawling it out. He seemed surprised. “That’s enough. You’re drunk already.” He puts th

    Chapter 17The good part was, I pretty much got disqualified from the game and we sat back watching the rest of it, except we weren’t actually watching it. Instead, there was this really thick tension between us and it felt like we were simply trying to avoid looking at each other the whole time. “So why did you-” I was going to ask him outright. I was bold today. “The next game started.” He points out. “Don’t you want to play?” He stuffs his hands in his pocket and heads over slowly, waiting for me to catch up. Damn it. I guess that’s that then. I follow him. “Beer pong!” I laugh. It seems like fun. Because it was a team game, I had to drink a few more shots whenever we lost. Taranis didn’t play, he simply watched. He seemed like he didn’t approve. I bit my lip excessively. What was with him? He was making me uncomfortable. He’s been like that since the moment he entered the bar. He was acting a bit different from his usual self. Less flirty and teasing, more distant and seri

    We stopped by Leo’s apartment to grab a few things and then we were on our way to the campus. It was no longer in lock down but Aria’s room was still closed for now. They had given Dani a temporary room by shifting a bed in one of the non functional storage rooms. It sounds worse than it really was, the room was big enough. It wasn’t so bad. After the investigation is thoroughly complete and the room is all cleaned up, Dani could move back in. I don’t think she wanted to. If she had an option she would bolt from there the first second she could get. But living off of campus would be unnecessarily expensive.Since there is a vacancy..They offered me. They offered me to move in with Dani since I was so opposed to having a boy roommate. On one hand I don’t want Dani to suffer by herself and on the other, the thought of moving into that room scares me. I know it would be much worse for her, which is why I was confused.I sigh.“Can’t I just stay here and.. not move.” I mumble.“Do you th

    Chapter 42 The butler was dressed in all black, he brought a fancy food trolley and set down the plates with tea. There was a glass stand with 3 tiers, one of them had cupcakes, the other had small tea cakes and the top most one had macarons.My mouth was watering and I pursed my lips to stop myself from drooling.“Please, help yourself.” He waved to the food.I ponder with suspicion.“If I wanted to poison you, I would have done it while you were unconscious.” He assured me.That’s some assurance alright!“Can I have some cold coffee instead? I don’t really drink tea.” I shrug. If I’m here, might as well dig in right?“Right away.” The butler gave a little bow and headed back to the kitchen.Impressive. I nod slowly, slightly impressed with the way things worked here.They are living in a completely different world from me, aren’t they? I can’t imagine living like this. I mean, I didn’t have a bad life by any means. My parents always made sure I had everything I needed, of course. H

    I didn’t think about it before, rather, I think my mind was still hazy from whatever they gave me to knock me out. I can’t believe it.He looks nothing like him. I try to look closely at his features more and more, at one point he probably might think that I could be into him but I just wanted to get a good look to see the resemblance. I actually think their noses are the same. Maybe lips.Their eyes are completely different. Am I wrong?“Are you.. Taranis’s father?” I ask with hesitance. I could only imagine if he was really a random kidnapper who caught me for organ trafficking.The man gave a rough smile. “That is correct. I’m surprised you caught on so quickly. Unless he told me about you, of course.” He sounded like he was gloating to some extent, happy that he was being mentioned even if it was in a horrible way.I wanted to diffuse his fantasy.“I overheard your phone call with him.. sort of.” I shrug. “You know you could have just called me right?

    Chapter 40The last thing I remember was seeing a kitty in the back alley. If I really strain my brain for more information and try to recall the incident.. I’d say I was kidnapped and taken in a black van. There was bright white light shining and for a second I thought it was the tunnel people go through at the end of their life when they are ready to die.I try to scream, ‘NO I’m too young to die! Please! At least let me live till 40!’“No. I don’t want to die.” I murmur over and over as my eyes open and adjust to the bright light.Oh. It wasn’t a tunnel gateway to heaven.My eyes were just blinded by the reflection from the white ceiling.“Trust me sweetheart, we have no intention to harm you here.” My vision focuses on a man sitting opposite to me. Before I answer, I take a quick look around my surroundings and nudge my elbow against my pants just to see if my phone was still in my pockets. I doubt they would be rookie enough to leave it in without-Well I’ll be damned. I feel the

    Chapter 39You’d think after what happened in the van with the extremely sensual kiss that I would not be phased anymore but I was. He said I was underestimating his control.I shake my head. “Forget it.” There is no point in looking deep into his actions because Taranis was a complete tease and he always has been.I ignored what had happened and went to sleep in the room which was cleaner than the living room. It took me a long time before sleeping finally came, I was thinking about all sorts of things. I had asked them if breaking out could potentially make things worse but apparently it depends solely on Taranis’s family. If they are trying to stir things up they might take it too far but maybe they’ll feel bad for their son who was just shot??? And let him have some peace. I finally fell into a restless sleep with many thoughts circling through out my head, I actually think that some of them managed to become dreams or nightmares inside my mind. The brain was a weird and crazy t

    Chapter 38 Clearly there was some intense family drama happening here. With Ian, the brother planting those drugs to get him arrested and the mysterious father whom Taranis hates. I thought I had strict parents and for the longest time that bothered me and I hated it. I wished they would give me some freedom so that I could live a relatively longer life that everyone else had lived. However, seeing them now, Taranis and his family, maybe I should be more grateful for what I have. At least mine is not a broken one. I wonder what he went through all his childhood, no wonder he is misunderstood by so many people. “Why do you think your brother planted those drugs?” I ask him. “There are 2 rooms, you can sleep in one. Leo and I can sleep in the other.” He avoids the question like plague and I don’t try to pressure him or press him to tell me more. It was something he did not want to talk about. I try to think that it was not because he didn’t trust me but probably because he felt very

    Chapter 37“Are you serious?” I was baffled and could not believe my own ears. Did he just say his brother? As in, his BROTHER? Why would his brother plant those drugs. I mean I get sibling rivalry but clearly it has been taken too far in this particular case. “Why would your brother plant those drugs?”Taranis remained silent, not answering my question. Either he did not hear me clearly or he was pretending that he hadn’t heard me. Either way it seemed like he was not interested in telling me what was wrong currently.“I’ll drop Caleb and return the van to Killian.” Leo informs as he swings the keys to the van in his index finger, playing around with it.Taranis nodded. “Thanks for pitching in, Caleb.” He thanks him, giving off the impression of a well rounded kind individual. I then realise it was time for me to keep thinking of him as the asshole especially since the shooting.My heart started throbbing.‘No no no. Let’s not.. let’s just not think about that right now.

    “Where will I sleep?” I wonder out loud.“You’re sleeping here tonight? Thought you’d be on your way.” Leo points out. I gave him an unbothered look, I didn’t mind at all considering how unwelcome he was being, probably because his apartment was super messy. “Of course I’ll be sleeping here. I’ll leave tomorrow morning and catch a cab to the cafe. They won’t think my car being there is weird right? What if they confiscate it or something.” Taranis shrugs. “They could. It depends entirely on my family.” I raised an eyebrow. “What does it have to do with your family?” I ask.He seemed hesitant for a while. “My brother.. he’s the one who planted those drugs.”
