Kelly’s POV“PIERCE!” I shouted when Pierce grabbed Klay and punched him on the face. His eyes were sharp and burning as he tried to attack Klay again but I blocked his way, spreading my arms as I protected Klay.Pierce looked at me with painful eyes as he shook his head, “I’m sorry, Kelly. I was forced to say those words…”“Why are you here?” I asked instead of paying attention to what he’s saying.He swallowed hard, “Kelly, I want you back.”“Are you stupid?” Klay punched this time and I couldn’t stop them anymore as they started exchanging punches.Klay knows boxing and I’m worried that he might send Pierce to the hospital but I was shocked after realizing that Pierce can fight too. Since when did he learn to fight?“You want her back? *sshole! You lost your chance!”“She’s mine, Carver! She’s originally mine! She belongs to me and not to some devil like you!”“STOP IT! STOP FIGHTING!” I shouted but they wouldn't stop.I swallowed hard and looked around. That’s when I saw Klay’s ri
Kelly’s POVI kept on swallowing hard, feeling the discomfort between my legs. Under the thick sheet of blanket, I’m only wearing a large black shirt owned by the man laying behind me. His arm was resting on my waist and his warmth wasn't helping with my messy thoughts.I’ve been awake for almost twenty minutes now but I still can’t process what happened.I feel so ashamed of what happened. I slept with Klay. I had s*x with my step brother and this is making me so crazy. Yes, we’re not related by blood but the fact that his late mother was once married to my father, I couldn’t help but feel stupid.I need to get up. Yes!I was about to pull myself up when Klay’s arm around my waist tightened. My eyes widened after realizing that he’s now awake.“Where are you going?” He asked with a hoarse, bedroom voice.My lips parted, the same time I felt my heart skip a beat. It’s confirmed. I have feelings for him and what happened between us last night intensified those hidden feelings.I flinch
Klay’s POVI’m sitting on the dining chair while roaming around the kitchen. This apartment is small but suitable for someone who’s single. There’s two bedrooms and I supposed Ana was the one using the other bedroom. I know Kelly brought her when she moved out.While I was waiting for Kelly, I remembered everything that happened last night. She gave herself to me and even when it’s out of impulsiveness, I can feel that she didn’t regret anything. She willingly gave herself to me and I couldn’t help but to feel so happy and proud.The woman I’m interested in seemed to be interested too. What’s more amusing than that? I couldn't be happier that I prepared our breakfast. I cooked it myself even when Ana tried to stop me.“Sir, do you want coffee?”I shook my head while looking at the food on the small dining table, “I’ll wait for Kelly.”“Should I call her now, sir?”Ana seemed afraid of seeing me angry. I couldn’t blame her. She knows that I become evil when angry but today is different
Kelly’s POVKlay didn’t show up for two days after I told him to give me time the next morning after we spent the night together. My apartment was at peace during the weekend and Pierce didn’t insist on seeing me and talking to me. Somehow, I felt at ease. But I also know they’re just trying to give me some space. I know them too well. They are persistent. They won’t stop showing me what’s on their head.“Ma’am, our orders have piled up today. Even though it’s keeping us busy, this is good news.”I smiled at Yara, my assistant. She’s sitting on a chair with me while we’re arranging flowers. The other employees are on the other table doing the same.Yara’s right. We’ve become busy since this morning and I’m thankful because it made me occupied.“Miss Kelly.”I lifted my chin when one of my employees approached me carrying a bouquet of red roses. It was the bouquet she arranged a while ago.“Yes?”“One of our clients called and told me to give these to you, Miss Kelly.”My lips parted a
Kelly’s POVYara kept on looking at me and Klay alternatively. Her lips were curved into a playful smirk and her eyes were judging and teasing me. I feel like I’m about to pass out in embarrassment so I walked towards Klay and grabbed his wrist. Without saying anything, I dragged him to my office and locked the door. My heart was racing and I felt like I ran a mile because of what happened.My employees will surely tease me because of Klay. Why did he even announce that he wants to date me? Argh!I looked at Klay in disbelief when I heard his soft chuckle.“What?” I asked, raising an eyebrow as I faced him.He smirked, “Why did you lock the door? They’ll think we’re gonna make you—”I covered his mouth with my palm and frowned. I was about to ask why he came here when he suddenly took a single step closer, caging me between his body and the locked door. I swallowed hard and was about to escape when he pressed both of palms against the door as his face leaned down and closer.“W-What a
Kelly’s POVI kept on shaking my head while walking away from my office. Did I just agree to make him my suitor? Did I just give him permission to court me?I paused and palmed my cheeks. Oh my God! What should I do? I can’t go back and take it back, he won’t let me.Biting my bottom lip, I pressed my cheeks and groaned. What if he hurt me too? What if I made the wrong decision? Just thinking about it makes me so worried. I don’t know why he suddenly confessed that he’s in love with me. I don’t know since when he started liking me but I must admit that it’s affecting me so much and this is not a good thing, especially if he’s not sincere. However, his eyes were showing me his sincerity.God! I don’t know what to do anymore.“I smell something…” Yara, who met me halfway, grinned suspiciously.I felt my cheeks heated as I shook my head, “Nothing happened, Yara.”“Oh!” She gasped. “I didn’t say anything, ma’am.”I frowned at her, “You wanna get fired?”She moved her forefinger side to si
Kelly’s POVI don’t wanna act affected even when Pierce’s cold stares really affects me. He already saw me with Klay and he just stared like I’m some random stranger. However, Lexi who’s by his side immediately wrapped her arm around his arm after seeing me looking at them.“Kelly, we can just find another restaurant if—”“Let’s just stay,” I said and slowly lifted my face to look at Klay. He was looking down at me with a worried face.Finally, I was able to smile after the shock of seeing Pierce and Lexi in the same restaurant.“We don’t have to leave. We came here first and you already made a reservation.”He clenched his jaws as he stared into my eyes. His dark orbs were staring back into my eyes as if weighing my emotions and reactions. I know he’s worried but I can perfectly handle my emotions. I’ve learned to hide my real feelings and this is not new to me.“Are you sure?”I was about to nod at Klay when I saw Lexi and Pierce walking towards our table. I sucked my breath, keepin
Kelly’s POVLetting go. That’s what I’m waiting for him to do. To finally let me go and end everything between us. I’ve been forcing him to forget about me, thinking I was the only one who’s hurt but I was wrong. The pain in his eyes and in his voice made me realize that it’s not just about me. It was also about him unable to let go because of guilt and the new feelings he discovered.What took you so long to realize your feelings, Pierce? You wasted us and you hurt me so much.It’s making me so angry that he couldn’t properly distinguish his feelings. It’s maddening that he’s still confused between his feelings for me and Lexi. But I know that when he finally said he’s letting me go, we’re completely over.We’re finally over. He’s not gonna chase me anymore. It’s sickening to see him following me, begging me to accept him again even when he’s already engaged to Lexi. He’s still a coward. He never learns. And now, he finally let me go. But what if I give Klay a chance and he hurt me?
