When Kristen could not hold the anger bubbling up in her belly, she stood up and glared at him."F*ck you, Frederick, and everything you represent, now if you don't mind, kindly take me out of here this minute? Because if you don't I am ready to tear your throat out and bury your lifeless body in the sea"Frederick flinched as if he had been hit physically."It's not funny," she said through gritted teeth."Why does she look so scary?" Frederick asked as he stood up and stared at the woman. Her words were ice cold but it took him only a second to realize that what she said wasn't exactly true. She seemed angry, yes. But behind those eyes, he saw sadness, confusion, and pain.His stomach twisted painfully and he quickly stood up and moved to take her in his arms but she moved backwards.'I don't need your pity right now, just take me out of here"She warned him, threatening him with her eyes."Frederick knew he shouldn't cross her but he did anyway. He reached out to her but she slap
Kristen smiled widely and began to devour the remaining pieces of fish. Her tongue slid over his lips at an intervalAs Frederick ate from her mouth, he kept glancing at her face. His heart beat against his chest as he thought of how she was looking so beautiful, her cheeks flushed. He loved seeing that color on her. It always makes him feel giddy.The more he gazed at her the more he became aware of the fact that he did not have the slightest idea of what he wanted. He never felt like this. Never in his life has he experienced anything such a strong emotion. He was overwhelmed with feelings, he could not think straight. All he could do was sit there watching her eat then fed him from her mouth.Feeding him the last content from her mouth, she smiled and patted him on the head."Good boy"she said and leaned towards him. Her lips touched his lightly.The kiss lasted longer than she expected, she started to feel hot and tingling in her belly and the butterflies were suddenly going
Frederick woke first followed by Kristen, they were woken up by a knock."Who is there?"Frederick yelled, trying to cover Kristen up. The duvet was piled on one side making her skin bear to see."Your friendly neighbor," a male's voice responded almost yelling as well."Who is he?"Kristen calmly asked with her voicelaced with sleep."I don't know. Let me just get the door and find out"He stood up and hurriedly put on his briefs then headed to the door."Opening the door slightly, he came face to face with an Asian dude. He was wearing grey shorts and had on a white shirt with black sleeves. His hair was long and parted to the side. He smiled brightly."Hello. I am Lucian, the owner of the next boathouse. Been around for a while and saw you arrived here with your woman. I was just worried that you both are not out yet, hence thinking something has happened to you"Lucian said, staring at Frederick in the face.Kristen froze when she heard the name."I can't be mistaken or is it
Lucian stood at the far end of the sea as he watched Frederick drive off.He sighed loudly and rubbed his tired eyes then turned back to face the sea, the cool breeze sweeping through his face and ruffling his hair."I don't know how long I will keep stalking you but if something is not done soon, I will let the cat out of the bag. I am tired of waiting."He muttered then took a long breath to calm himself. His phone started ringing and he picked it up."Yes? I am on my way"He pocketed his phone, strolled to where he parked his motorbike and mounted it then zoomed off.**********Kristen looked through the window and smiled softly. This was probably the best day of her life so far. She couldn't help but think how happy she is right now."Could life be fair enough to give me happy more days"She wished in her heartFrederick, seeing her through the window, waved and then drove off. He had waited for her to go inside before leaving but he did not do that until Kristen waved from her w
Dragging her suitcase out, she met Naomi who looked like she had been waiting for her to come out. Noami stared from Kristen to her luggage then looked up at Kristen's face.Her brows were furrowed and her lips pressed together tightly. It was a look of scorn, but more than that, it just seemed like mockery“What kind of neighbor are you? you're traveling and you didn't even mention it? for the past 2 years, I've known you, you've never for one day travel. I wonder about the sudden change?" Naomi said as she shook her head slowly, as if in disbelief."I am your neighbor, not a friend or your acquaintance. I'm just surprised that you seem so eager to know what goes on around me. It's like you are everywhere, all over me, wanting to know where I go, what I eat, how I spend the day, and who visits me." Kristen paused then continue,"Is there something you want that I have? If there is, please mention it. I don't like having a crowd in my life and you seem to be a crowd right now so if
The moment Kristen's car drove out of sight, Noami kicked the wall angrily and slammed her fist against the brick wall, which hurt like hell and left a long bloody mark on her hand. She winced and cursed under her breath, pulling away the hand, the red blood coming in contact with her white blouse.She cringed slightly and grabbed a paper towel from the dispenser beside her coffee table and started dabbing at it, trying to wipe away the blood but there was no end to the bleeding.After cleaning her hand as best as possible, she slumped down on the sofa, closing her eyes, sighing deeply as she rested her head back, taking in the silence that engulfed her living room."Why can't the b*tch be a fool for once and accept my offer of friendship. I know she is smart but one can't always be smart"She sighed yet again, opening her eyes, she stared at the ceiling.Why would she reject her friendship? Wasn't she worth a shot.?Her head was aching from all these thoughts."I will take things
Gabby's voice trailed off as he left without another word.Frederick looked after his retracing back, shaking his head slowly in dismay. He couldn't understand why Gabby is behaving like this. If he cares so much about the family, he should make Cassie his and leave him alone."Why should I be the one to fulfill the damned family Obligation?"He screamed in his head and his voice echoed back to him"You seem to forget you are the first son and Gabby is a free Animal, he would not want to be caged by the BUSHMAN's rule. You know that same thing you are running away from is what is running from"His subconsciousness reminded him.Frederick clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white. He hated feeling trapped in the position he is currently in.All his life, he was the only one doing things the way he was asked to. He has been someone living another's life which he doesn't want anymore.His family can't control him forever, he left home because he could not bear to be told wha
Kristen whispered again looking at the portrait with sadness and regret. She didn't want life to turn out this way. No matter how hard her life had been, there was no way anyone could take away from her joys as far as her dad was here. He would have protected her. He would have cared for her and he would have given her everything he could possibly give her.The tears fell from her eyes.No matter how much pain she had been through, it would not have mattered as long as he was with her.The tears threatened to form once again but she quickly wiped them off her cheeks and stood up placing a soft kiss on his portrait" I would try and live for you. Get rid of my past and move on, I owe you that, dad"A knock at her door caught her attention causing her to blink away the tears from her eye and wipe them with her the back of her palm"Come in!" she shouted.The door opened to reveal her stepfather who had the most gruesome look ever.Kristen turned slowly and came face to face with the ma
