I'd told Jen everything about Alec and she'd agreed that he was a total useless idiot yet she kissed him? I hated Alec and I'm not saying my best friend should do the same but she should have been a little civil. I wasn't very realistic but there were two sides for her to take either Alec's or mine. She'd chosen Alec, kissed him and enjoyed it. I wouldn't be surprised if I opened the door and found them having sex.
For all I knew, Jen had never been like that. She'd never kissed a boy on the first day of meeting him and if a boy tried anything she'd slap him but when it came to Alec, she'd kissed him back, happily. Was it a dig at me?
My best friend betrayed me. She'd said she hated him already but it didn't look like it when she was kissing him. Interesting.
It looked like I was jealous but I wasn't. I couldn't be jealous over that nasty prick because I hated him so much. First, he'd even used me to clean his room for his whoring acts. Maybe he even had a thousand STD's considering the fact that he slept with a different girl every day. I couldn't even kiss him for anything in the world because his mouth probably had like a thousand kinds of germs. Being near him was torture to the soul itself.
Sadly for me, Mrs. Bent had said she couldn't turn Alec out since he was a son to her sister's best friend. Besides, he'd already paid six months’ rent in advance. She said I had to help get him back onto the right path, like I was his nanny. I heard she believed that I'd be able to change his lifestyle and his mom would be really pleased. I wasn't interested in their family problems. All I needed was for him to be a thousand miles away from me.
I was typing a message to my brother when someone knocked my door. So one of them decided to stress me a little more or make fun of me?
I didn't respond but just turned my music on to the highest volume. I didn't want to hear whatever nonsense they had to say even if it was my best friend.
Unfortunately, the person was really persistent. The banging on the door didn't stop and that could only be Jen. I turned off the music and waited in silence for the person to speak.
“Lynn,” the voice spoke.
I guessed right.
“Can we talk? I'm really sorry.”
Fuck off Jen, I don't want to listen to you little bitch.
I wanted to say that but decided to stay silent and listen to whatever nonsense she had to say.
“Lynn, please open up.” She begged. “You're torturing me. I’m sorry. I think I just got caught up in the moment and forgot about everything.”
Like she hadn't just done the same to me a few minutes before. She continued to ramble about how I should forgive her but I was so angry that though I felt like opening the door for her but decided not to. She could go and cuddle in Alec's arms, after all she'd chosen to take his side.
After sometime, she stopped talking, said goodbye and walked away from my door. I sighed in relief. Whatever I was to do with her? I'd decide later. I had course work to do at the time so I turned my laptop on eager to have a distraction from that days' events.
I logged in to my email and looked for the assignment my educational psychology lecturer had promised to send to each one of us. When I found it, I started looking for the answers needed and in less than an hour, I had already sent the work to him. I didn't like having a lot of things on my mind so I always did my class work in time. It was just five minutes past 4pm.
I decided to take a rest but just when I was about to sink into semi consciousness, I received a text message. I dug up my phone from under the pillow to read it and before I could, another came. I opened the first one from Jay, a guy in my class. I had missed a test.
Oh my God!
I almost died.
Maybe I should have.
Thank God I didn't.
I looked at the second message which was from Kari and it said the same. I didn't cry like I should have. I felt nothing.
Mr. Handel liked giving abrupt tests and that is the reason why I never missed any of his lectures. Plus, he brought them when you least expected.
It was all because of Alec. Since I hadn't gone to campus in the morning, I had not felt like going there in the afternoon. I always left early and came back after all lectures for the day because my car was down and I didn't have the morale to take it for repair.
That bloody libertine! My life had been going down since he moved in to my apartment. He was a real devil sent by Satan to ruin my life. What was I going to say to the lecturer? What about my GPA? It was already too low for me.
I needed to forget all this, I had to find a drink. Maybe I would go to Ross. He kept lots of alcohol in his fridge and wouldn't mind me drinking as much as I wanted. I needed to forget everything about my terrible day.
I got out of my room and as if to make my day worse than it actually was, Jen was still there, seated on the couch alone. Alec was nowhere to be seen.
“I'm leaving,” I spoke in a matter of fact tone.
“Will you forgive me?” She asked quietly.
“We'll talk about that later. I need to go.” I said and she picked up her phone which had been on the table, then stood up.
“I love you so much, Lynn.” She said as she stepped out of the front door. I just looked at her and when she was gone far enough, I moved out and locked the door.
I could do with some alcohol.
I felt the headache before opening my eyes. My mouth felt so dry like I hadn't drunk anything in months. Then I felt someone's arm around me which caused my eyes to snap open. Had I slept with a guy? I tried to remember the previous day’s events. Who could it be? Ross? I remembered going to a club with Ross. Was I with him or the boy I'd danced with whose name I couldn't remember?I looked around and saw a very familiar room, I was in Alec's room. I quickly sat up in the speed of lightning, letting his lean, muscled arm fall to the side. When I stood up, I became dizzy due to the fast movement I'd made while getting out of the bed. I sat down on the nearest chair in order to stabilize myself.“YOU MORON WHAT DID YOU DO TO ME?” I yelled furiously when my head stabilized. This was the worst of all things that could possibly have happened, me ending up on his STD ridden bed. Disgusting.“Morning babe,” Alec greeted with a smile on his face. He acted like it was the most normal thing ever
AlecI looked deep into her desire filled eyes. I was dying to kiss her lips which were just a few centimeters from mine, but I wanted her to beg for it. My mind was good at controlling my heart and feelings so I was able to resist the urge. She looked into my eyes expectantly and I could see lust in hers. Touching her very smooth cheek, I felt heat radiating from it. I smiled because that was a sign that I was getting somewhere on my mission to seduce her. “Do you want me to kiss you?” I asked leaning in closer to her. I knew she wanted it, but I wanted to hear it from her lips, in case she decided to deny this moment happened. It would be nice to tease her about it later.“Yes, Alec.” She said seductively and my blood rushed to a specific part of my body.“You do what, baby?” I teased really liking where this was going. It was nice to know I made her all hot and bothered.“I want you to kiss me, Alec.” She said, glancing at my lips.I leaned closer but instead of kissing her lips l
Alec’s POVAfter having breakfast, I went to see my friends, Mark and Silver. Unfortunately, they were preparing to leave yet I'd wanted to spend the day with them. After a short while, I asked them where they were going.“We missed a test on Thursday,” Silver said. “But the instructor agreed to let us do it today.”“How did you convince him?” If you missed a test at Sandonne University, It was hard to retake it because most of the lecturers wouldn't allow it.“Very easy,” Mark laughed. “You know what my looks are capable of.”“Thought he was male.”“Who said he isn't?” Silver laughed.“Oh,” I said. “I understand.”“No, man.” Silver said. “You don't, he's not gay if that's what you're thinking.”“So what's all this about?” They were really confusing me.“Okay, there's this clinic with a female doctor,” Mark said. “We got a fake medical report from her.”I silently hoped that wouldn't land the doctor into trouble.“You don't look yourself, man.” Silver sat next to me. “What's up?”“Not
When Lynn opened her bedroom door, she hugged me so tight that I could've stopped breathing. This meant one thing, there was a big problem. If she had been okay, she wouldn't have hugged me like that because she couldn't stand me.I hugged her back, telling her that everything would be okay even though I had no idea what her issues were. Somehow, the sobs reduced and after a while, I led her to the couch. I locked the front door and sat next to Lynn pulling her into my arms.I don't know why but I felt bad that she was in such a sad situation. I just hoped it wasn't Ross who had done that to her because I'd kill him. A person didn't hurt my roommate and just got away with it. I couldn't allow that. Had he taken advantage of her? It was a good thing that she was down, though. I got to hold her in my arms with her permission, and boy that felt good. If she thought I was good enough to comfort her, I was on the right path. She let herself be vulnerable in front of me and that meant one
I spent my Sunday Evening re watching Twilight as I waited for Alec who had gone to spend the day with his best friends. Edward Cullen will forever remain one of the hottest vampires in movie history for me. Throughout the whole movie, my whole attention was focused on his hot lean body, cute face and alluring voice. The other characters didn't matter much, all I wanted to see was Edward. I was glad to have some disruption because I was getting impatient with Alec. He had been gone the whole day, making me wonder what he was still doing with his friends. It was already ten pm.I have to admit that I was kind of jealous. My jealousy was unrealistic and ridiculous because those friends of his had known him for a long time. It was like somebody complaining about me spending too much time with Kari.All my friends were gone except Alec. I realized that night that I was supposed to mend all my broken friendships or I would end up alone. I couldn't do without friends and it was so hard for
I was the type of person who never set an alarm unless they had something really urgent to do the next day. I always woke up naturally and was a little bit too happy when I woke up at seven. It was a Monday, so I didn't waste any more time in bed but jumped out of bed as soon as I got out of the semi-conscious state of sleep.My first lecture that day was at ten a.m. but I had many things to do. I had not cleaned the room over the weekend so it was the first thing I did after waking up. I started with my bedroom, then living room and finished with the kitchen. I didn't dare go to Alec's room.Was he even back? I remembered that I had slept before he came so I knocked his door to know if he was in. No one answered so I tried the door handle, it turned out that he wasn't back.And I didn't have his number. Seriously? What type of roommate was I? What if something bad had happened to him? I didn't know any of his friends. I was really worried but I’d think of that later since I was runni
Someone was knocking my door when I woke up. When I opened my eyes, I realized I had taken a very long nap because it was already dark.“Coming,” I yelled though I didn't feel like getting up and had no energy. What did he want, anyway? I thought he was supposed to be with another girl.I got out of the bed and switched on my bedroom light then checked myself in the mirror to make sure I wasn't looking like hell. I quickly ran a hand through my hair and tied it up into a ponytail. I drank some water from a glass on the table and splashed little onto my face. My face was quite okay for a person who just woke up.I opened the door expecting Alec but to my utter surprise it was someone else, a person I didn't want to see.It was Ross.I forced a smile and invited him in. As I was closing the door after Ross entered, I saw Alec seated on the sofa looking grim. His girl had gone.“How are you, Lynn?” Ross asked when I sat on the bed next to him. Why is he in my room after all he did?“Fine
I thought Ross and I were going to be friends but guess I was wrong. After he walked out on Lynn, I started disliking him. How could he do that to such a nice girl? The only good thing was that his leaving brought Lynn closer to me but that didn't even last. I messed up. I really miss the time Lynn was in my arms. It felt so nice.I thought the bastard was gone forever but then he came back. Lynn was in her room and I was seated on the couch. I was quite surprised to see him when I opened the door.“Hey,” I greeted without interest. If I had known it was him at the door, I would not have opened the door.“Hi Alec,” he smiled, peering into the living room. “Is Lynn in?”“No, she's out.” I said, attempting to close the door. I didn't want to see his face in the apartment.“Wait, It's a weekday and her lectures are done so where else could she be.”“Do you think am lying?” I questioned. It seemed this prick was looking for a fight with me.“Let me see for myself,” He smirked. “Besides, y
Lynn’s POVAs I walked through the door of the cozy restaurant, I spotted Alec immediately siting at the bar. He had wanted to pick me up but I had insisted on getting there by myself so I had taken a taxi. Alec’s face lit up when he saw me and he stood up, a broad smile spreading across his handsome face. He was looking so damn good. He walked over to give me a hug. “You look amazing,” he said.I smiled. “You too.”We made small talk as we waited for our table. When it was ready, a waitress came and led us there. After getting our orders, she went to the back. The restaurant was filled with the sound of clinking glasses and a low hum of conversation. Our table was by the fireplace which provided a warm glow to the room. “I love this place,” I said, taking a sip of red wine. “We should come here more often.”Alec nodded in agreement, taking a bite of his steak. “The food is perfect and the ambience is very relaxing. I’m hooked and we will definitely return to this place.”I picked u
Lynn’s POVWe were all eating at the table. While Jen and Kari were chatting happily, I was fidgeting nervously with my hands as I tried to gather the courage to tell them what was on my mind. I knew that this was not going to be an easy conversation. After a lot of internal conflict, I took a deep breath and blurted out. “I’m getting back together with Alec.”They looked at me in shock.“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Jen asked. “I mean, considering everything he did to you. You were pretty hurt and I don’t want to see you get hurt like that again.”I nodded. “It’s not going to be easy, and I don’t think everything will always be perfect, but Alec and I are willing to work through our problems, and start over.”Kari chipped in. “What about all the times he hurt you? Don’t you think you deserve better?”I sighed. “You guys don’t know the whole story.”“What’s the whole story?” Jane inquired. “Tell us so we can understand why you would choose to do something like this.”I told the
LynnThe next Saturday was cold and rainy. I was curled up on the couch with a cup of coffee and a blanket. Kari and Jen had gone to a seminar and I was all alone. I couldn’t stop thinking about Alec. As the rain pounded against the windows of my apartment, I remembered all the good times Alec and I had shared. The way he used to make me laugh, the way we spooned when it was cold, the way he held me when I was upset and the way he always kissed me softly before going to bed.Tears rolled down my cheeks as I wished I could turn back time and fix things. However much I tried, I could not stop thinking about Alec. I buried myself in studies during the week, thinking that it would help get him off my mind but it did not work. I missed him, and I needed him. I couldn’t stop hating myself for ruining every good thing that came my way. I unlocked my phone and scrolled through the beautiful pictures we had taken together. Feelings of longing and sadness washed over me.Deciding that I had had
LynnIf I was going to see Alec and try to convince him to take me back, I needed to look my best. I was not very good at makeup but I had to try. I had recently started experimenting while watching tutorials online. Now was the time to put those skills to use. I sat at the vanity, and observed my face. There were dark circles under my eyes, probably due to all the crying I’d been doing since Alec and I broke up. I was a mess and was counting on the make up to make me look like a living person.After applying primer to my face, I opened my makeup kit. I applied foundation, blending it carefully and making sure I covered the entire face evenly. Next, I applied a thick layer of concealer under my eyes to cover the dark circles. I lined my eyes with black eyeliner to create a smoky look. After adding some mascara, I applied red lipstick and finished of the look with some bronzer to add warmth to my cheeks.When I was sure I looked presentable enough, I stood up and took one last look at
Lynn’s POVAlec had blocked my number. That was the only reasonable explanation for that. Alec was one person whose phone was always on. I fell back on the bed as my eyes moistened. I thought I had lost him forever. After a long crying session, I wiped my face and went out of the bedroom. The moment I opened the door, the smell of pancakes assaulted me. It felt so good waking up to breakfast prepared by someone else. This was something that Alec would never do, and neither would lazy Kari. Frowning, I went to the kitchen to find out who was saving our hungry a**es.“Good morning, Lynn.” Jen yelled. She was wearing a black apron under a white t-shirt and blue jeans.“Good morning,” I said. “Didn’t know you slept over.”“How could you know when you ignored all of us and locked yourself in the room before the party ended? What happened to you?”“I was not feeling great.”“Didn’t that walk help? You should have just drunk more beer. It would have made sleeping easier. You look like you di
Lynn’s POVKari had only been back for two days but she had turned the apartment into one of those you see in décor magazine pages. The apartment looked so neat and perfect, and there was no mess. It was back to the way it was pre-Alec. I had enjoyed living with Alec but having to do most of the organising by myself had been a little draining. It was a relief to see someone else putting things in order.The apartment looked livelier than it had been before. A few of our other friends had been invited to the small party we were having. It was a reunion and reconciliation party, an idea that Kari came up with. She wanted to apologize to me in a proper way. According to her, having a reconciliation party was the proper way.Kari’s parties were organized and pretty tame, unlike those that Alec had organized. The atmosphere was cool and the music soft. I realised I had missed these kind of parties a lot. Most of Alec’s friends were loud and boisterous, yet I preferred to mingle with calm a
Alec’s POV Slowly pushing open the door to my new apartment, I took a deep breath. I stepped inside and was immediately struck by how small and cramped everything looked. The kitchen was barely bigger than a closet and the living room was crowded with a couch, coffee table, and TV stand that barely fit in the space. I hated the place but it was the only apartment I could find on short notice, which was not too far away from the college campus. I dropped my duffel bag on the floor and headed towards the bedroom. I shook my head when I saw that it was just as cramped as the rest of the apartment, with a twin size bed taking up most of the room. There was a desk squeezed into the corner and a small window that overlooked the quiet street below. That was the only good thing about the apartment. It was in a quiet place. I sighed and flopped down on the bed. I was not used to living in such a small spaces and couldn’t help but feel a little overwhelmed. But I reminded myself that it was
Jessie’s POVPushing hair off my face, I stood up and went to answer the door, wondering who had the guts to show up so early in the morning. I threw the door open and gasped when I saw who it was. Alec Warton was standing at my door looking like a dishevelled mess. He did smell kind of funny too.“Please come in,” I said with a sweet smile. “It’s good to see you, Alec.”He raised his hand to slap me but I caught it just in time. It seemed like he had not been eating well because his hands had no energy that day. “Why did you kiss me? Did you know that Lynn was coming down the stairs?”I chuckled. “Of course, I did. I knew that she was coming. I love you so much, but I know you were not going to see it until you broke up with her. You should be thankful I did what I did because it has shown you what type of person Lynn Harris is. She didn’t even listen to you, but ran away to the nearest guy for help. She didn’t give you a chance to explain yourself. Even criminals deserve a fair tri
LynnThree days later, I was still not talking to Alec. He had called me so many times but I rejected his calls and ignored his messages. The worst part was that he was still denying it and it made me very angry. Had he been ask in for forgiveness, I might have softened up although I was not sure I’d forgive him. Once a cheater, always a cheater.I had always heard people speak of heartbreak like it was terrible thing, and always laughed it off. I thought it couldn’t be that bad, after all there were so many other dating options. It was during that time that I realized that heartbreak was not a joke. It was something very far. The pain was extreme and it hurt so bad. I spent the first two days cooped up in Katherine’s guest room crying, eating and sleeping. This was the first time I was out in the sun. Katherine had managed to drag me out. It was then I realized that I had always underestimated the power of the sun. I had only been out in the sun for a few minutes when I started feel
