...GENEVIEVE I was laying sprawled on the couch, my eyes closed in an attempt to escape the chaos around me. Janice, Isabelle, and Amelia were huddled together, whispering and casting glances my way.Even though I had my eyes closed, I couldn’t sense what they were doing. As the murmurs grew louder, I could feel the weight of their stares pressing down on me. I sighed and I opened my eyes, catching the three girls mid-gaze, then quickly shut them again with a sigh."I kissed a guy I met at the club," I declared, my voice cutting through the silence. I looked at the three of them and they gasped and their eyes were wide open. I could almost hear the collective intake of breath from my audience. "His name is Jake, and we shared numbers."The room exploded into a flurry of reactions. My friends' eyes widened in surprise, and before I could react, Janice had leapt onto the couch beside me, nearly toppling me over. I rolled my eyes at their reaction but was somewhere chuckling too.
...GENEVIEVE I stood on the sun-drenched sidewalk, my black jeans clinging to my curves like a second skin. The off-shoulder crop top I wore showcased my toned midriff, and my hair cascaded down my back in glossy waves, catching the light and giving me an ethereal glow. My sunglasses added a touch of enigma, making me look every bit a goddess. I knew I looked good and I was proud of it. I was not like those other girls who played so like ‘ oh i don’t look that good “. I struck pose after pose as Janice captured my beauty with the camera, the sound of the shutter adding a rhythmic background to the otherwise quiet summer day.We both were taking some pictures, capturing a few memories for our Vegas trip. As I adjusted my stance for another shot, I heard the smooth purr of an approaching car. David, my reliable driver, stepped out and opened the door. My face lit up as I saw Isabelle and Amelia step out, their excitement palpable. The girls rushed to me and Janice, their arms wr
...GENEVIEVE Me, Janice, Isabelle, and Amelia settled into the plush leather seats of Roman's private jet, our laughter and excitement filling the cabin. Across from us sat Arthur and Gabriel Blackwell, who quickly became the center of attention with their easy charm and quick wit.“So, Isabelle,” Arthur began, leaning back and crossing his arms with a playful grin, “tell me more about this infamous kiss with the man. Is it true that he almost tripped over his own feet because of it?”Isabelle rolled her eyes, but her smile betrayed her amusement. She had this encounter a few months ago where she shared a kiss in the club but the man happened to be a married douchebag but she was calm about it even though she beat the shit out of the man. “Oh, come on. It wasn't that dramatic. But yes, there was a little stumble involved.”Gabriel leaned in, his eyes twinkling with mischief. “Maybe He just couldn’t handle how stunning you are. I mean, can you blame him?”Janice and Amelia gigg
...GENEVIEVE We finally arrived at the hotel, the joyous energy from the bar slowly ebbing away as fatigue set in. The elevator ride was quiet, filled with the muted sounds of stifled yawns and murmured goodnights. “ I’m so tired “ Janice sleepily spoke making me chuckle. I felt a smile tug at her lips, thinking back to the laughter and camaraderie of the evening. It had been a perfect night, one I wished would never end.As the elevator doors opened on her floor, I stepped out and made my way down the hallway, my steps heavy with exhaustion. “ that one is your room Janice “I pointed at the door and Janice grabbed the key, opening it before entering and I shook my head with a little smile before I finally reached my room, slipping the key card into the slot and pushing the door open. The room was dark, a comforting sanctuary after the vibrant chaos of the night.But as I flicked on the light, My smile faltered, and my breath caught in my throat. There, standing in the middle
...GENEVIEVE I awoke slowly, the morning light filtering through the curtains and casting a soft glow over the room. My head ached slightly, and as I shifted, I felt a warmth enveloping me. Blinking my eyes open, I realized I was nestled in Roman's arms. My heart skipped a beat, and I widened my eyes in shock as the events of the previous night flooded back to me.I had spent the night with my stepsister's fiancé.Panic surged through me as I sat up quickly, disentangling myself from Roman's embrace. The sudden movement jostled him awake, and he groggily opened his eyes, a sleepy smile forming on his lips as he reached for me. I, however, was already halfway off the bed, my mind racing with guilt and confusion."I have to go," I whispered, my voice trembling as I swung my legs over the side of the bed and began to stand.Roman's hand shot out, catching my wrist and pulling me back with surprising strength. "Wait, Genevieve," he said, his voice still thick with sleep. "Don't
...GENEVIEVE Me, Janice, Isabelle, and Amelia were gathered in Janice's room, a cozy space decorated with soft fairy lights and an array of colorful throw pillows. The morning sun streamed through the windows, casting a warm glow over the room.We lounged on the bed and floor, their voices a pleasant hum as they discussed the plans for the day."We could go shopping," Janice suggested, twirling a strand of her dark hair around her finger. "I heard there's a new boutique downtown with some amazing stuff."Amelia nodded enthusiastically. "That sounds fun! And maybe we can grab lunch at that little café near the park afterward."Isabelle, always the planner, had her phone out, looking up reviews. "Or we could go to the art gallery. There's a new exhibit that just opened, and it looks incredible."The conversation flowed easily among the three of them, but I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at the floor. My mind was elsewhere, consumed by the events of the previous night. By Ro
...ROMAN Me and Xavier sat on the terrace of a chic café, the afternoon sun casting a warm glow over the bustling streets below. I was dressed in a casual outfit, stirred his coffee absentmindedly, a furrow in his brow. Xavier, ever observant, noticed the tension in my posture and decided to probe gently. Xavier began, his tone light but concerned. "Everything okay with Genevieve? You seem a bit off."I sighed heavily and shook his head, his eyes reflecting a mixture of frustration and sadness. "Not really, Xav. We had an argument this morning, right after spending the night together."Xavier's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "What happened? I thought things were going well between you two. You two were on the same page ? "I leaned back in his chair, rubbing the back of his neck. "Yeah, I thought so too. Last night was incredible, but this morning... it all fell apart. We started talking about the future, and things got heated."Xavier nodded, encouraging Roman to continue.
...GENEVIEVE The club was alive with pulsating beats and swirling lights, creating an electric atmosphere that seemed to vibrate with energy. We, girls were at the heart of it all, lost in the music and the thrill of the night. We moved with abandon on the dance floor, our laughter blending with the music as we let loose and enjoyed themselves.Isabella, in a shimmering silver dress, danced close to Arthur, their bodies moving in sync. Arthur’s charming smile and confident demeanor made her forget her earlier frustrations. Amelia, dressed in a bold red outfit, was laughing and flirting with Gabriel, who seemed equally captivated by her vibrant energy. Me and Janice, both looking stunning in their stylish dresses, were dancing together nearby, enjoying the attention from various admirers around us. I held Janice waist as she giggled and we both laughed, enjoying the crazy night. Drinks flowed freely as we were so into our own zones. The conversation was light and flirtatious, f
