Lucas’s POV“What did you just say to me?” I growled, with my hands slowly rolling into a fist as I stared at him. Wanting to be sure I’d heard him correctly.“You heard me Lucas,” Fernando snapped back.“I mean what would even cost in having those papers signed, making this project in particular a success,” He added. A smirk tugged at his lips as he stared back at me.“Fernando. Do you think it all works out that way? It simply reeks of desperation. A man should know when to stand down,” I shot at him.He smirks, his lips curved with an arrogant tilt. “Desperation?” He snorts. I take a step closer, lowering my voice to a dangerous growl. “You heard me,” His expression hardens, “We’ll see about that then,” He glances down the hall with a cocky grin.I grit my teeth glaring at him. I mirrored his arrogance and whispered into his face. “Don’t let it get to your head,”
Chloe’s POVIt took a moment for me to register exactly who was in front of me. The dark, artfully styled hair. The stubble shading his chin and chiseled jaw. Surprisingly this time he had on a tortoise shell glass that framed his face perfectly. But it was those eyes—-ones that for some reason made my heart trip and pick up its pace as I immediately recognized his sharp, angular features. Saying he was gorgeous was the understatement of the century.“I didn't see you there,” I said.His hands came around me immediately, it was pretty dark, and how I knew he was the one, was beyond me. It must have something to do with his scent. It was the most heady thing I had ever perceived, in a long time and I couldn't help taking a deep breath whenever he was around.I felt the change in him the moment I saw him. The look on his face was different. Though he was still incredibly handsome
Lucas’s POVA stinging ache at the center of my forehead precedes the movement of my eyelids. Showing the first glimpse of a blurry ceiling over me.I realized I was no longer in the hallways like I’d pictured from the night before. I remember throwing myself before…Fuck, Chloe!!…The ruffling of the soft sheets makes a crinkling sound as I open my eyes fully. The surprisingly sweet scent of this perfect girl overwhelmed me as I breathed her in. I could never put my finger on exactly what it was but it somehow felt soothing in my head as it wafted over me. I ran my hands down the back of her sweater as she lay peacefully in my arms. Her eyes shut closed.My eyes trailed down her delicate throat where the heart-shaped pendant, I’d gotten her was settled between her collarbones. A pulse point beating fast, then down her generous tits which were nearly spilling out from the dress she had on. I coul
Lucas’s POV“I'm Alexander Smith,” The man said with an obvious fake smile creased on his face as he approached my desk.I had an eyebrow raised staring back at him, without responding. My eyes trailed off to the file he had in one hand and the other he had shoved into the pockets of his pants.“Can I?” He added as he gestured to the chair in front of me. But then the look I gave him, made it quite clear that he was interrupting the thoughts in my head.“What brings you here Mr…” I said.“Alexander!” He cuts in, grinning at me.“Smith,” I responded, and then averted my eyes like I’d gotten disgusted over his response.“Such lovely day isn’t it?” Alexander said. Breaking the silence between us as I had my eyes glued to the screen of my laptop.“Proceed,” I said, gesturing to the file he was holding. Knowing he’d come for business and not for some silly chit chat.“Such successful thin
Chloe’s POV“I said get the fuck out of my house, you’re leaving!” My father's familiar voice echoed in my head as I tossed restlessly in bed trying to get some sleep. “Please, Dad!” My responses from the night it had all happened resurfaced in my mind. I clenched my fists to my sides feeling overly tortured by the disturbing images of what had happened on that night.Being a child, growing up in a stable home in the suburbs of Charlotte, North Carolina. I never really done anything on my own and while I had a decent high school experience. I was ready to get away from everyone I’ve known all my life. Which was the exact reason I had ended up at the popular UNC college.My fingers clamped around my dress, as I tightened my eyes shut trying to hold back the urge of those memories flooding through my head.“Come here, I said you're leaving and don't you dare…” His voice reechoed over and over again in my head.
Chloe p.o.vToday is not one of my best days, it's one of those days I feel moody, gloomy and absolutely not myself. Why? Because I've been awake is 6am dragging my half sleeping self around, because of a damn 7am class I have.I mean, why would the school set a class at seven? Eight is preferable to seven, I shook my head as there's nothing I can do to change it.Here I am after my classes that ended at two in the afternoon, I mean come on! From seven to two, and I've barely had anything to eat except for the little snacks I had.I'm in the store tottering around the aisle doing some groceries shopping, my kitchen is closed empty as it is. I have been postponing this shopping for the longest time, I have little time to spare juggling between school and work hasn't been easy.I picked few of my facial products and body lotions and scrubs, I will as be doing some perfume and deodorant shopping too but first let me attend to what brought me here. I did my groceries hastily, and went to
Chloe’s POVMy eyes fluttered open almost instantly to the blaring alarm clock in my ear. I groggily reached for my phone on the nightstand beside my bed to check the time—7:30am.7:30 am!! The bright light from the screen of my phone lit up my bedroom making the whole space of my bedroom illuminated.Sighing, I raise my head from the pillow leaning one elbow and a bent knee raised in the air as I blinked through tired eyes. Staring at the clock far off.The ruffling of the soft sheets makes a crinkling sound as I perked up to my feet. My lazy limbs stretched out making my entire body relax from me being curled up in bed all night.Memories of the supermarket some days ago resurfaced in my mind. A small smile found its way up my lips at the thought of the little kid smiling at me. Spelling out those words. “Dear, even if you’re getting a divorce you shouldn’t deny the child from his mother’s love,” The voice of the old lady from the mall, echoed through the void in my head as I stare
Chloe’s POVI collided with someone, their unfamiliar scent of perfume wafted up, filling my nostrils. I stumbled backward from the impact of the stronger body.My eyes rose to find Scott in front of me. The one popular dude in college. I mean, the most hottest guy in college, every damn girl in school want him.“Sco…” I stuttered, holding a hand over my mouth from uttering anything stupid.Instantly, his head shot up so fast I thought he’d have strained his neck or something. Surprisingly all he did when our eyes met, was break out into a goofy smile and then scurried off like nothing had happened a while ago.Leaving me bewildered.“What the hell just happened?” Monica called out from behind me as she snaked an arm around my shoulders. Grinning at me.“Not now Monica!” I scowled. Holding tight on my purse as we headed over to class.“I mean, did you see that? You bumped into scott! The Scott.” She persisted. I sighed slightly disheartened, sadly Monica and I are among the girls that
