“Would you care to share with the class what has you so amused miss Morgan?”My head snapped up at the sound of my name, the smile falling from my lips, eyes wide I shake my head. A few muted laughs and snickering sounds from around me. My gaze drops to my desk and I feel eyes digging hold into my forehead. My cheeks heat in embrassment and I wished the earth would tear open and swallow me whole.I conveyed my sympathies through my eyes. I can’t believe I was texting in class in the first place. Professor Marks gave me the stink eye for a whole minute before finally letting up. “Try to pay attention from now on”I breath out a sigh of relief as he turned away to the notes projected on the white board.I’m so grateful h letting me off without asking any more question to see if I was indeed following along with his teachings. That would have gone very badly as I had infact not been paying attention.I leave my phone face down on my desk as class continued. I try to pay attention this
Ian texted me when he landed yesterday but we haven’t communicated since then. Guess he’s busy. I pushed my spicy rice around with my fork, it was delicious but I didn’t feel like eating.“How’s the man?” She questions. Only her voice is enough to tell me she's hoping for something interesting. I spared my friend a look then went back to pushing my food around “He had to leave for a business trip”“So that’s what has you sulking? Missing your man?”“What? No, no!” just where does she get her crazy ideas from? “I’m just tired that’s all, stayed up all night studying” and I think I was about to get my period, that puts me in an overall shitty mood.“Hm hm” the sound was doubt filled to say she didn’t believe me one bit. “We should do something to cheer you up yeah? There’s a pool party at Kyle’s tonight, you should come”“I don’t know…”“come on Kates, it’ll be fun, when was the last time you partied with us”I shook my head not giving in. “I don’t really like loud scenes” I had plans
“Quit moving” she scolds.“Sorry” I say on a laugh. Finally she steps back.I patted my belly, the chain now rests under at my hips just beneath my belly button. I sway a little and I see it accentuates the dips of my tiny waist, drawing eyes the curve of my hips. Loose enough to move when I do but not enough to fall off.“Sexy girl” Hannah commented and I actually blushed.“Interesting”“Now you’re ready, let’s take pictures, Kyle will be here any moment”We stand in front of her full length mirror and make kissy faces changing poses as she snaps a few shots.“Sit on the bed, lean back” she clicks off the camera a few times, “Go for sexy, yes yes, fire girl! Do your back, can’t let that top go to waste” I smile wide and do as she directs. Flipping my hair over my shoulder to give her a better shot.“Yes! You have to post some of this on the gram Katy, it’d be an absolute wait not to and I’ll never forgive you”I reach for her phone and she pulled me into front of the mirror for mor
** “Please answer your phone before I toss it out the window” Hannah murmured painfully when it rang for the fifth time. “Ugh” I groaned. My system disagrees with the idea of moving. I just wanted to stay exactly where I was, preferably with my eyes closed. But my phone keeps ringing. Hannah and I had gotten back around three in the morning, my body hurt and I felt like hurling. Why the hell did I drink so much? I wasn’t a big drinker but I was excited and having fun. Look what funs done to me. My phone begins to ring again and I reach for it with closed eyes stretching for the sound. I squinted as I brought it closer to my face I saw it was Ian. My hold is limp and the device falls to my breastbone. I blinked. My God. I debated leaving it right there, maybe turning it off first and going back to sleep. I swiped lazily with two fingers to answer, I felt he wasn’t going to stop calling until he got me. “What?” I groaned smacking my phone down beside my head and on speaker re
** The house been strangely quiet in his absence. Not like he goes around making a lot of noise, but there was this awareness in his presence. You could be felt in the air, in every room I entered since Thursday. In this case, his absence. Its an hour since I returned from my classes and Ian is set to return tomorrow. In as much as I’ve enjoyed having some space and can finally enjoy some peace without worrying about bumping into him anywhere of him showing up at the oddest times, I realized I strangely missed being around him, seeing him in the mornings, his infuriating smirks, the weight of his gaze on my skin. I can’t believe it’s been just three weeks since I met him. Moved here. three freaking weeks. I’ve cursed more in three weeks than I have in my entire life, but that’s Ian for you. he could make a saint experience berserker rage. I laughed quietly at the thought. I’d just left the kitchen, popping my knuckles after a particularly vicious typing session for a paper. I wa
I spent most of last night cursing myself maybe I should have knocked? Not that he would have heard as he was in the shower, and I really did think he was away, why the hell would I knock when I was sure the room was empty?I should have just dropped the basket and being on my way that’s what! I skipped breakfast this morning. I just couldn’t face him. I saw him naked for God’s sake. N.A.K.E.DWithout a stich of clothing on. None, nada, nothing.And he was… I have no words, I felt like no words could describe him, I could open a thesaurus and no word would do him justice. Ian Quinn in all his naked glory was simply glorious. And he was equally delicious in a suit, if not more. I wasn’t sure which I preferred, a trail of goosebumps sprouted along my skin as it had been whenever I though of him. He was perfectly sculpted. It wasn’t fair that anyone would look like that. He looked like he spent all day laying in the sun. Beautiful golden skin everywhere. His hair damp messy from hi
“Join me for dinner” Ian said after a moment, his gaze held mine. I bit my bottom lip shaking my head as pleasure warmed my belly, it made me heady “I just ate” He doesn’t even move “Then you can watch me eat” “That’s not creepy or anything” I complained but I was smiling, his eyes dropped to my lips. I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear suddenly feeling quite shy and light, I worried I might float into the clouds. He had this way about him, I was both bold and shy in his presence. Contradicting, I know but that was my new reality. I inches to the side and closer to the door “I really have to work on my paper” “I’m certain you’ve been working so hard you should rest, take some time off” he turns me around by his hands on my shoulders, leading us back into the room and away from the door where I planned on making my escape. He pulls out a chair and I sit without much prompting. his hands dropped to my shoulders. “Let’s discuss last weekend while I was away” I looked at him ov
It’s strangle gloomy when we leave the library the next day, So early in April we weren’t expecting any rain fall. Hm.I hurried to the car and drove to my last class. I have my books spread out in front of me, my phone is on silent and deep in my bag, Professor Marks nods at me and I’m glad to be back in his good graces now that I’m not allowing myself to be distracted. As it should be. The weather is even worst be the time I step out. There isn’t a speck of blue left in the sky. Just fat gloomy clouds ready to burst at any moment and drench unsuspecting individuals going about their day.“Looks like it might actually rain” Sam notes looking upwards, a hand on his forehead “Yeah, one can hope, might take an edge off this blistering heat” Hannah said, pushing her hair off her neck. A strong wind come blowing at my hair and the skirt of my dress. I slap at my thighs, holding my dress with one hand, I wave with the other. “I better get going, in case it does rain don’t wann
