DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER ELEVEN: CRIES AND PLEASURE.
CHAPTER ELEVEN"Who was that on the phone?" Purple asked raising an eyebrow"A friend," he said calmly"What friend? A friend I don't know about?""He is a childhood friend, he's currently in Germany for studies""So what? Purple squirmed impatiently, "How is that supposed to make it better?""Honey, it's just a friend. It means nothing," he said reaching out to her.Purple released a breath and chuckled."It means nothing that I don't get to know of a friend you tell almost all your secrets to? Things you do not tell me?""Bunny, I didn't mean it that way, I swear." His eyes were beginning to tighten up."I heard your conversation, Lucas. Do you no longer love me?"Lucas swept his dark curls with his hands as he turned away from her."This is not the right time to discuss this," he sputtered."When will the right time ever be,?" Purple retorted.As Lucas turned to face the gray eyes that had turned slightly dark with rage, he could still see the helplessness in them, the helplessness
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER TWELVE: CROSSING THE BRIDGE
The crash of waves and circles of foam as it swept ashore across the sand forced Purple to retreat backward in fear. She had never been to a beach before, so the rushing breeze, the clear, wide, sky, and the water seemed so strange to her."C'mon, the water won't bite," Lucas said, chuckling.Purple stared hard at him. He seemed to enjoy making fun of her"C'mon,' he repeated "Let's go swimming,""But I cannot swim,""I'll teach you, let's go,"Purple connected her hand to his powerful hulk, and he led her to the pool at a secluded part of the beach. As she stepped into the water that felt like ice on her skin, she shuddered."I need you to relax, okay?" Lucas said, placing his hands on his shoulders.When he felt her muscles relax, he kept one hand on her stomach, giving her the aid she needed to slide slowly but freely into the water."This is wonderful," Purple exclaimed, her hands slapping the water."Is it? How about you try it yourself,""Okay, let me try,"Lucas disentangled fr

Lucas sped past the blaring cars and the toxic traffic with a curse. The thoughts of Limo and his threats sparked a fury in him that could not be controlled. He thought of going to the police to file a report, but with what evidence? With what statement? The better plan was to lie low and give Limo a taste of his own medicine.His mind shifted to Purple and he felt his muscles relax. They had a date tonight, and he would not screw that up with worrisome thoughts. His eyes scanned his surroundings, noting the particularly busy streets of the late summer evening. As he drove past a bus stop, he could read a sign on a metal board. "THIS IS LIFE, AND LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL." He scoffed, was life really beautiful?………………….Purple stood at the edge of the sidewalk as the loud, honking cars sped past her. She had just endured a three-hour boring conference meeting and so she needed a break, a comfortable bath, and a cuddle to erase the harsh memory of the day."What was taking him so long?" She t
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER FOURTEEN: THE THREAT.
The hot summer sun shone bright and clear in the sky as Purple drove along the busy streets, her face red with confusion. She was trying to locate an estate, but when it was evident that her efforts were only getting futile, she decided to ask for help."Excuse me, Sir, where can I find the Avescent estate," she asked, pulling the car to a stop."Umm, it's down the second street to the right," the elderly heavily mustached man replied."Thank you,""You're welcome,"Purple flashed him a smile and steered the car into motion. She drove slowly and carefully, afraid that she might die of the same fate that threatened to kill her lover. She found the estate in a place that looked deserted, but beautiful. The white buildings were decorated with golden bars and a smoothly plastered floor.Her eyes caught a yellow tall building and she drove into it. She rang the doorbell with a feeling of shiver. There was no response, but seconds later, the door opened and a sharp eye greeted her."Come in
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER FIFTEEN: A DAY OF RECKONING
The alarm chimed repeatedly and Purple awoke with a start. A look at the side of the bed was enough to make her jerk up in surprise. It was 10 o'clock, two hours late for work. 'How could I sleep for so long, I didn't even hear the rings of the previous alarms," she mused. She picked up her phone and went through it. There were dozen of texts and calls from Ellen and her assistant.One text read, "The boss's been asking for you, he's beginning to get suspicious, and for the umpteenth time, where the hell are you? and why are you not picking up your calls?"She dropped the phone with a curse and ran to the bathroom for a quick shower. As the warm water ran through her skin, the memories of the previous days played in her mind.Lucas had undergone another surgery and she had been there to look after him, there was still no sign of recovery, but the doctors assured her that the tumor had been removed, that Lucas's heart rate was stable, and that he was on his way to regaining conscious
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER SIXTEEN: PAYING THE PRICE.
His feeble hands moved slowly without direction, he was trying to feel himself, to feel his body, something to hold onto as proof of his existence. His head shook to the sides as he woke, squinting at the bright light overhead. Someone was rubbing something cool at the center of his head, but that could not stop the terrible pounding in his head. He flinched and turned his head, where was he? And why were the walls so bright? Pain moved swiftly between his temples, blinding his thoughts. The bleached smell of the sheets turned his stomach as he stared into the face of the young nurse who also gazed at him in amazement. "Mr. Lucas, you're awake, how are you feeling?" She probed. Lucas averted his eyes, slightly annoyed by the question. How was he supposed to feel when every cell in his body screamed of destitution and pain? "What is this place, and why am I here?" He asked instead. "You're in a hospital, don't you remember anything?" "What am I doing in a hospital?* "You had an

An hour later, Purple walked into the hospital, tired and worn out, her eyes opened but not seeing.At the sight of Lucas, she ran to comfort herself in a long embrace."Bunny….," He said, tightening his hold on her."Lucas, my love, I miss you so much," she said in tears."I know, and I miss you too. I'm sorry I put you through the pain of looking after you,""That doesn't count, I'm glad you're back from the other realm," she said with a chuckle.Lucas made to speak but swallowed his words. Were mere words going to be enough to express how he felt?He hugged her tighter, allowing his body to express his hidden feelings; feelings he could not share or explain in words. She was hurt, and he knew it, he had caused her harm once more.Something he promised never to do again.He was conscious of her cold tears dropping on his bare skin, tears that not only projected joy and happiness but beneath the tears he knew a broken woman, one yearning for love and comfort, aching for fulfillment.
DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER EIGHTEEN: WHAT I GET
One week later."Lock up the shop once it's time," her employer instructed.Purple nodded and forced a smile. She looked around the heavily stocked grocery store and grimaced. The place was incredibly boring, with nothing lively to feed her eyes.It was mid-afternoon, the type of afternoon that was enough to make one sweat in the pants, boiling hot and baking.She released an exerted sigh, wishing time would roll faster so she could get the hell out of here. Of all the places where one could work, her mother had gotten her the job of a salesperson in a place that looked like a barren land."Sure Mum, you're the best," she exhaled in sarcasm.The glass door shifted and opened, forcing Purple to look up in expectation. It was her second customer of the day, at least so she thought.A young man in his twenties walked in, he had short thick waves, bronze eyes, a sparkling set of teeth, and a strong physique.He looked hot!But not hot enough to create a commotion between her thighs.He fl

Lucas walked into the room with a bowl of ice cream which he placed in front of Purple with a smile. "There you go," Purple frowned as she regarded the bowl like it was a long standing enemy of hers. "I'm not interested in that," "What?" Lucas couldn't believe his ears. "You heard me. I'm not longer craving ice cream," Lucian chuckled at her pouty lips. What the hell? He had brought her favorite and she no longer craved it. He didn't know how to react to this. "What's wrong?" He asked. Purple sighed and sat up straight, a hand raking through her hair. "I'm craving to know the truth about you and Ellen. Is she still sending more of those love texts bullshit? Should I confront her this time? What's going on?" Lucas leaned closer with a smile, as if taunting her. "Is this what took your appetite away? Like I said, your health is primary, everything other things are secondary," Purple nodded in acceptance. Lucas was so stubborn, he wouldn't budge, it didn't matter how she coaxed. "

DESIRED BY MY CHILDHOOD FRIEND CHAPTER FOURTY-FIVE: BULLET WOUNDS.
Lucas turned quickly to the limp body on the floor and screamed. "Purple!" He collapsed to the floor and checked her pulse. She was still breathing, but very faint. Adrenaline rushed through his entire body as he lifted her from the ground. "Help! Somebody fucking help!" His screams attracted attention from within and nurses rushed outside and wheeled Purple into the operating room. For a moment, Lucas stood there, rooted to the spot, there was a tighteness in his chest. A lump settled in his throat and he stifled the urge to yell. Where the hell had that useless bullet come from? He was about enjoying the night with his angel, so what the fuck just happened? She had fucking took a bullet for him. He climbed into his car in a wild race, but as he drove, his heart in his mouth, he received a message that the security guards who had swunged into action earlier were unable to catch the shooter. According to the text, the culprit's car had plunged into a large tree during the pursui

"What?" Henry pushed the chair backward and stood on his full weight. "What the hell is wrong with you?!""Tada! Was it a pleasant surprise? Awnn, probably not,""Are you insane? What did you just do?!"Purple shrugged. "I tore the goddamn papers. Got any problems with that?"Gritting his teeth, he grabbed her neck, pulling her forcefully to her feet."You bitch!" He snarled."Let me go!" She struggled, hitting his huge muscles."No, I won't, you sicken me!""You…you're…choking me, stop, please!"His grip on her neck tightened with every word of her plea until there was a soreness in her throat. She was gasping for air."Stop!" Alice screamed and rushed over, separating the fight. "How dare you lay a finger on my daughter?""Your daughter is just as irresponsible as you!" He scoffed, pushing Purple roughly to the floor."Wow… so I'm irresponsible? Is that it? After everything?""After fucking what, huh?"Purple groaned, massaging her throat. The back-and-forth arguments were disgustin

Alice disentangled from the embrace and peered into her daughter's face. Jeez, those eyes were miserable, helpless, like a scared child. She squeezed her eyes shut for a moment. How selfish of her to think of her baby's heart as a rag doll. She took a deep breath to steady herself. How about a thorough confession? A confession that'd purge the tightness in her chest. Her heart lurched, no, a confession would mean a swift change of plans. Titus would sell her off without another glance and she could not afford for that to happen. Darn! If only that stupid game had not clicked red. "Now you're talking like the smart daughter I raised you to be," Purple sighed. "Smart indeed," "Hold on, I'll make a call to Henry," Purple stopped her hands. "What? Now? I'm… I'm… I don't think I'm ready to meet him yet," "Don't worry, honey, it'll be fine," As her mother left, Purple released a sly smile. Phew! Plan A had gone by so smoothly, like a piece of cake, no hitch. But wait, was that a bi

Henry tried to keep the shock out of his face like her words hadn't affected him. "What?""And don't forget to never come this close to me again!" She spat.Henry paused, tilted his head to the right, and smiled. "You're really something,""Leave while I'm being nice!""You have to calm down, listen…""Fuck you!" She sprang to her feet and grabbed a bundle of broom that laid against the wall. "If you don't leave this instant, I'll break you to pieces with this!"Henry stood up with raised hands and stepped backward. Was this the responsible daughter Alice had wanted him to meet? This raving bitch?The hell, she didn't look one inch like a responsible lady, she was dangerous, insane."Are you still here?!"His brows lowered. "Fine, I'm leaving,"At his promise of leaving after a phone call, she stood with a glare while watching him. Within seconds, Alice unlocked the door and walked into the room, a wild look on her face."What's going on here?"Henry brushed past her icily. "You shoul

Lucas brought out his phone from his pocket and tapped on the unread message. His eyes widened. What? Mrs Alice was in town? Why so sudden and unannounced?He sighed. Should he go ahead to meet her as Purple suggested? How would she react to seeing him? No, she'd refuse to smile at him. It would be so uncomfortable.He started his engine and dialed Purple's line thrice, but there was no response. She had to know that buying fruits for her mum was not really a good idea.Within minutes, he arrived at Purple's apartment, but as he started up the stairs, an odd feeling crept up in him. Something was not right, his guts knew it. He had been calling for like a thousand times if not less, but no response. It was unlike her."Purple?" He started and opened the unlocked door to step into the small living room.It was empty, no sign of Purple or her mother."Pur…" he stopped at the sight of her phone on the center desk. Why was her phone here when there was no sign of her?"Purple!" He hurried

"I'm sorry," Lucas whispered.Purple walked towards him, cupped his chin, and placed a kiss on his lips. "It's alright, the diagnosis says appendicitis. We'll get through this together,"He brought her into an embrace. "There's something else,""Which is?""There are signs of a growing tumor in my brain,""Oh my goodness!" She hugged him tighter. "You're going to be okay. I trust you'll be,"There was a sniff behind her and she knew he was trying so hard to control his emotions. Who the hell said that men shouldn't cry?"Cry all you want, pie. I'll be a shoulder to lean on,""I'm so sorry, bun"She brought his head to her breasts. "It's not your fault,""You don't deserve this, I feel…""Hey, listen. I'm not going anywhere. I'll be right by your side,"He looked up with a weak smile."You're going to be alright," she assured."Thank you,""Should I make tea for you?""No, I'm fine. I should head back to the office. I have a meeting to attend by 2"Her eyes darted to the wall clock. "I

If looks could kill, then Purple would long be dead from the dagger shooting looks by her boss. Her palms twitched in discomfort as her head hung low. For goodness sake, he should say something other than just staring at her."Why is there no report from you about the shareholders' account?"Purple heaved. Finally, he spoke! "I'm sorry sir, I'll have them delivered to you today,"He searched her face. "Miss Brendon,""Yes, sir,""You were supposed to send in those records yesterday,""So…something came up," she stammered."You allowed whatever it is you're dealing with to affect your job performance?"She bit hard on her lips, searching her brain for a suitable explanation. It was not her fault, but how could she tell him that she had been worried sick about her boyfriend in that she hadn't slept a wink throughout the night, nor could she concentrate on the records.There was no telling him that she had rushed Lucas to the hospital this morning because the abdominal pain had increased
