CLINTMy lips lingered on hers, each touch, each movement, sending a spark of desire running through my veins. I deepened the kiss as Keira parted her lips, making way for my tongue to dance around hers."Clint," she gasped when we pulled away from each other.I muttered a curse under my breath as I leaned into her, my arms circling around her waist as I pulled her body flush against mine. There's no way I could get over this--over her. Somehow, she had wormed her way into the deepest parts of my soul, and I didn't think I could imagine my life without Keira anymore. Everything about her was ingrained in my mind. Her voice, the way her eyes glossed over anytime she came. And more importantly, the way she was looking at me right now. Like I was the best thing on earth."You are driving me crazy," I whispered into her ears, my lips brushing against her earlobe.I trailed my lips from her ears down to the slender column of her neck. I could feel her body quiver against mine, sending my
KEIRAI wrapped my hand around Clint's arm as we strolled along the sun-kissed beach. The sand felt warm beneath my bare feet, and the rhythmic crash of the waves created a soothing soundtrack to our leisurely walk. It was a beautiful summer day, and the beach was brimming with life. People of all ages dotted the shoreline, their laughter and chatter blending with the gentle breeze."It is quite crowded today," I remarked, glancing around at the vibrant scene unfolding before us.Clint smiled and nodded, his eyes scanning the bustling shoreline. "Yeah, weekends are always like this. Everyone is out to enjoy the sun and the sea."While I enjoyed the beach when it was quieter, I also didn't feel uncomfortable because Clint was the person I wanted to be around. As long as he was here, nothing else really mattered.We continued our stroll, navigating through the clusters of families, couples, and groups of friends. The beach was a kaleidoscope of colours, with bright beach towels spread
CLINT As I stood there, the three girls approached me with an air of confidence. They giggled amongst themselves, their eyes fixated on me. The uneasy feeling in the pit of my stomach grew as they began their conversation, their words loaded with flirtation."Hey there, handsome. Are you single?" one of them asked, her voice laced with an alluring tone.Uncomfortable with the attention, I shifted on my feet, trying to maintain my composure. "I am not. I am here with someone," I replied, hoping to deter any further advances.But they persisted, undeterred by my response. "Come on, don't be shy. You are too attractive to be tied down," another girl chimed in, her eyes lingering on me. "I guess an even more attractive person made me decide to be tied down," I said, chuckling dryly. However, neither of them seemed to take it seriously, or did they not understand? I was attractive, alright, but Keira was even above my league, and half the time, I worried she would not get bored and leav
KEIRAI crouched down in front of the toilet, my body racked with waves of nausea. The bitter taste of bile rose in my throat, threatening to overwhelm me. It was a wrenching, uncomfortable sensation as if my stomach was attempting to expel all the food I had ingested this weak.As if the day couldn't get any worse.At that moment, I heard the bathroom door clock open, and I looked up, eyes dimmed to half mass, and I saw Clint, concern etched across his face. He crouched down beside me, placing a gentle hand on my back. "Keira, are you okay?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine worry.I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand, my body trembling. I shook my head slightly, unable to form words just yet. The queasiness persisted, rendering me temporarily speechless.Guilt also wormed into my heart that I threw up everything that Clint had spent so much time trying to prepare. Even if his cooking wasn't the best I had eaten, it was not that terrible, and I worried that this would make
KEIRAI stood beneath the warm spray of the shower, the water cascading over me like a soothing embrace. I closed my eyes, and the gentle stream of water became a soothing melody, its rhythm echoing through the tiled bathroom. I ran my fingers into my hair, allowing water to build up in the thin strands. As the droplets kissed my skin, my mind wandered back to the events of the previous evening, the echoes of our dinner conversation still lingering in my thoughts.After Clint's phone had beeped, interrupting our meal, his expression had shifted, a veil of worry clouding his features. My concern had grown with each passing second, but when I had asked him what was wrong, he had brushed it off, claiming it was nothing.Reluctant to press further, I had respected his boundaries, but a lingering unease remained.The memory of his pale face, his eyes haunted by something unseen, tugged at my heart. It was unlike Clint to be so visibly affected, to close himself off in that way. I couldn't
CLINTThe moment the words slipped out of my mouth, a wave of regret crashed over me. My eyes remained fixed on Keira's face, and I watched as she froze up, her face twisting into a mixture of hurt, pain and everything in between."Fuck," I cursed as I ran my hands through my hair.Keira scoffed as her eyes trailed to the floor. I swallowed, my hands reaching out to grab her arm, attempting to pull her to my side. Keira recoiled instantly, taking a step back as her eyes shot me daggers.Yet, beneath the glare, I could see the hurt and pain in her eyes. Hurt and pain that I had caused. Fuck. "Keira, please, I didn't mean that...""It’s none of my business, is it, Clint?"Keira took a few more steps back, her eyes meeting mine for a brief second before she stormed out of the room. Running both hands through my messy hair, I sank into the bed. Frustration courses through my whole being like a shockwave.I had fucked up, real bad.°°°°°°°°°°°I woke with a start, my hand instinctively r
CLINTI stood in the dimly lit room, my phone held tightly in my hands, my gaze fixed on the screen for what seemed like an eternity. Keira's voice interrupted my trance, pulling me back to the present."Clint, what's the problem? You've been staring at your phone for a while now."I blinked, trying to compose myself, but my mind was already racing. "I... I'll be back," I replied, my voice hurried and distracted. Without giving her a chance to respond, I abruptly left the room, a sense of urgency propelling me forward.Frantically, I grabbed my coat from the hanger and fumbled for my car keys. I needed to move, to do something, anything, to find the answers that eluded me. The weight of the unknown burdened my thoughts, and I couldn't ignore the gnawing feeling that something was going to go wrong.As I rushed to my car, my heart pounded in my chest, matching the rhythm of my hurried footsteps."Clint!" I heard Keira call out my name. The worry and panic in her voice were impossible t
KEIRA"I should not be doing this," I mumbled to myself as I got out of the cab and then covered the remaining distance by foot. My heart pounded in my chest as I stood outside, pacing anxiously around Clint's car. His abrupt departure from the house had taken me by surprise, and something inside me urged me to follow him. I was tired of him hiding things from me, tired of feeling left in the dark. Especially when it felt like something that would affect both of us. Instinct took over, and without a second thought, I walked towards the restaurant he had driven to. Through the glass window, I saw him seated with a woman, her face all too familiar – his ex-wife, Martha, nothing prepared me for this and the sight hit me like a dagger to the heart. My heart clenched tightly and I took a deep breath to relieve the pain that was slamming at me from every part of my body. Was Martha the reason why he had been acting all weird? What was going on between them? I watched as they converse
