Hi Y’all! I hope you’re enjoying Ian and Katy’s story! Let me know what you think, I’d love to know your thoughts! And please leave a review when you can. It increases the chances of a book’s success. Thank you! Xoxo S.N
I didn’t know what to think as I got into the car, Allen, immediately drove off. Although Mr. Alfred took his time to explain it to me, it still didn’t make much sense. Why did put the company in my name? Trying not to think too much about it, I got my phone to see that I had two new messages. The first was from Monica. Don’t forget our agreement Kates, I still have those contacts you know… along with a winky face emoji. That she could remind me of that threat she and Eunice made during the wedding party. I was tempted to text back go ahead. But I already had enough things to deal with right now. I hissed under my breath and deleted the message. She should be glad she got something she wanted out of this, the boutique, then again Monica has always been lucky, unlike me. I consoled myself that Eunice was raging right now. Though I had nothing to do with it, it still gave me a little satisfaction, that she is denied what she loves so much, money. In the end, it seems Da
For the next forty-five minutes, Sam explains to me how the game works, as he always does because I attend games too far in between so I tend to forget all the bits by the next time. I cheered on with the others when they displayed their prowess and skills. We’re well into the second round snacking on hot dogs and popcorn, I opted for a soda instead of beer and it’s been fun so far, probably because the Hawks were leading. My heart is constantly humping and I’m at the edge of my seat, my right foot bouncing in anticipation. Ah! The taste of victory was exhilarating. Hannah seems to have screamed her voice away. Kyle shoots the balls once more and the receiver sprints like the wind and before I know it the Hawks score another touchdown. The screams are deafening. “Whooo!” Sam puts two fingers to his lips and blows a piercing whistle, he wasn’t the only one. The cheerleaders on the side of the field do cartwheels and summersaults cheering loudly and waving their pompoms. Han
“You’ve been smiling like crazy,” Sam said, chucking me at the side with his elbow.I rolled my lips into my mouth, trying to trap another smile, “I’m just in a good mood, I guess” I clasp my hands behind me, my ponytails bouncing as I walk.He murmured turning to me. “That’s really good to see Katy, I’m glad that you're happy”I returned his smile.It has been some good days, I wasn't complaining. It's dark when we get out, the lot almost empty, I’m suddenly glad Sam decided to walk me.A few people stand by their vehicles, talking or making out. “Hey Sammy” a female voice calls from behind us. Sam paused, turning to see a girl standing beside a blue convertible. “Cami?” Sam called.And I recognized the name, Hannah might have mentioned it a few times when cursing at Heather, the girl smiled twirling a strand of strawberry blond hair around her finger, still in her green and white cheer uniform, the mid thigh skirt making her legs look a mile long as she walks up to us. “Came we ta
I’m standing in the ICU the next day, I front of me is the door that would lead me to dads private room where he is hooked up on monitors and machines. I found myself here after Hannah canceled and was already on my way out so I came here instead. “Would you like to go in?” I turned at the sound of the voice, its dad’s nurse, the one who’s been keeping me updated. “I think he’s sleeping” I murmured in response. He hasn’t moved once since I stood here. Only the rise and fall of his chest and the occasional beep from the machines signal life. Otherwise he was so still. I cleared my throat, “Can I?” It was still visiting hours but I wasn’t sure if I could visit while the patient was… resting. “Yes of course” she opens the door wider and motions me inside with a wave of her hand. “You can sit with him if you’d like” she offered. With a nod, I walked further into the room lowering to the chair beside him. The lady moved around checking the monitors for a second and noted something on
I sucked in a breath at his words, stated so casually as though he was discussing something as mundane as the weather of what he wanted to have for dinner. My eyes roaming from the lights to the elegant decorations. I could begin to presume the kind of business the man was into, how long it’s been in his family or the amount of staffs in his employ. With the company going under they’ll be put out of their jobs. Most of them would have families to feed, the decision of one man to have such devastating effects and there’s Ian in the center of it ready to pull the pin, toss it in the ocean and watch the ship sink while everyone scrambles looking for ways to stay afloat. I bit my bottom lip, “That’s… brutal” “Like you said, it is the way of business” We don’t speak any more after that, I- I had nothing to say to someone who would make a decision like that. It’s times like this that I’m reminded of his reputation, what the media says about him, opportunist, ruthless, a cutthroat. Two
Try as I may, I couldn’t forget the look in his eyes last night, that look. You know the one. I didn’t know what to do with it, what to think of it, words failed me. Was it intensity? Possession, with a hint of hunger? Does that even make sense?I only know that it confused me. But somewhere deep inside me, it made me heady, like I had bubbles in my belly. To be gazed upon by a man like that? Exhilarating.I saw it when I closed my eyes, felt it upon my skin when I showered as the warm water hit my skin, goosebumps sprouted all over me. It came to me again and again when I tried to concentrate on something else, anything else. Finally done with all my school work, I headed to the kitchen because it was movie time. The last episode ended in such an epic cliffhanger I don’t know how I was able to wait this long, but I promised myself, no watching until I was done with school work also, good things comes to all who wait and I have waited. I kept a bowl of icecream and a pa
After the first episode I turned to him. “What do you think? Like it?”“What happens next?”“Let’s find out, I also would like to know” I shot him a grin. I’m just clicking on the next episode when my phone chirps. Then buzzed for a few moments and I know I’ve gotten a significant amount of notifications. After pushing play I leaned back and stretched for my phone on the bed. Hannah: I think these would look cute on you, what do you think? I clicked on the attached photos. “Any trouble?” Ian murmured beside me. “It’s just Hannah, she’s sending me make up ideas for the concert” due to our canceled shopping trip we had to settle for exchanging ideas via texts. Hannah thinks it’ll help us narrow down what to get. “Concert?” “Yes” I text a reply, She’s been wanting us to be creative with our looks, and I’m all for it but I’ve never been one to wear bold colors , and she just sent pictures with purple eyeshadow and silver glitter. Me: looks good, but with more neutr
Holding my books under one arm I blinked sleepily. My eyes get hot and my lids dry. I wanted to curse myself for staying up late on a school night but what could I do, Dean Winchester has me in a chock hold. I dropped my heavy texts in the table the same time a voice called “good mornin I grunted a response. “Long night?”“Something like that” I dropped to my usual chair and poured a glass of orange juice, downing it in three gulps. I exhaled. “Did you sleep at all?” “For like two hours, and don’t say anything, I regret it enough as it is” I rubbed at my eyes with my thumb and forefinger reaching for more juice with my other hand. “Have this instead, I’ll wake you up” he pushes a mug into my hand and I look at him for the first time this morning. As usually he is dressed impeccably for work, in a dark dray suit with white dots and a matching tie, I look vastly underdressed next to him in my white shirt and one of my newer jean shorts but I was running late this morn
