Victoria's Pov:

“No way! I loved that cake. You are really good,'' Caleb said.

It felt so good to hear him say that.

“Thanks, I’m glad you liked it.''

We both kept quiet for a moment. I kept thinking of something to say. I felt like we had exhausted all the safe topics. I turned my attention back to the rest of the table, trying to ignore the urge that I had to continue engaging Caleb in the conversation for the rest of the lunch.

“How was it?'' Alice asked me as soon as I entered her door.

I had passed by her place after lunch because she called me and told me that my shoe had been found. I had decided to go pick it up on the way home. I had taken a week off work for the wedding and intended on spending most of it in Sedona.

“It was weird! I couldn’t wait for it to be over,” I answered as I sat my ass down on her couch, “I couldn't wait for it to be over.”

“That bad huh?” she asked.

“Yes! We ran out of things that we could actually talk about, you know, things that would not mak

    Caleb POV:I walked around my father’s office. I had not been there for several years. I was not involved in the day-to-day running of the family’s businesses so I did not have any reason to be in Dad’s office. I had always felt guilty about that. I knew that even though he was exceedingly proud of me, Dad would have loved me if I took over the business.I was his oldest son so it only made sense. Luckily for him, Eric had stepped up. He had always had an interest in Business Administration and he exceeded all expectations whenever Dad delegated a duty to him. He thrived in the business world and so he became the COO of the company in my place.He genuinely loved what he did. You could tell by the way he spoke about it. to be honest, it was all gibberish to me. I, however, was still a shareholder in the company so every once in a while, especially when I was home, I would check-in. Besides, it was always interesting to see Eric in his element.I picked up a framed photo of all of us

    Victoria's POV: I woke up again at ten o’clock feeling much better. The muscles on my body felt incredibly sore from lifting and moving the boxes. I lay in bed staring at the ceiling for half an hour contemplating the amount of work that I had to do.“We have to do it.” I corrected myself. Caleb and I had to work as a team in order for us to finish everything before I had to get back to work. It was not by choice. My mom had successfully guilted me into doing it. After she had told me that I would be working with Caleb, I told her that I could not do it anymore.She tried pleading with me but I would not budge then she changed her tactics and said that it was what a good daughter would do. It was incredibly manipulative and I knew that she would not go there unless she was desperate. I felt guilty, not because of what she said, but because I had forced her to pull that card. I finally reluctantly gave on.I asked her if Eric would also be joining us but she didn’t have the answer.

    Victoria's POV:“No, my schedule is wide open. I’ll come over right away. Do you need me to bring anything?” he asked. I thought about what we could possibly need for the move. My mom and I had already done most things. “We don’t really need that many things. Just maybe bring a few more boxes and some tape.”“Cool, I’ll see you in thirty minutes.” He hung up the phone.“And now, we wait,” I said out loud to no one in particular.True to his word, thirty minutes later I heard him pull up in front of the house. I went to open the door before he could knock it. I saw him off leading the many boxes that he had brought. He was wearing a black muscle shirt that showed off his impressive physique, some faded well worn jeans, and a baseball cap.I couldn’t help but ogle at the view of his back and how the various muscle groups moved and contracted with every movement. “Are you going to come to help me carry these in?” he asked, snapping me out of the trance I was in.I felt really embarrass

Our parents were married now which meant that we would constantly be in each other’s lives from now on. When I asked her about her relationship, I knew that I was taking a risk. She had never been a big fan of that particular topic. I was genuinely shocked that she chose to answer my question. I thought that she would avoid it. She had a boyfrie

    Victoria POV:Caleb was engaged. To Brianna. I thought about that at length the next day. It was driving me crazy. I didn’t understand how he could fall in love with someone like her. I watched as the movers I had hired carried everything to their truck. It pained me to have to pay for the service because movers were not cheap but I could not spend another minute with Caleb. I felt so betrayed by him. I had to talk to someone so I called Alice.“Hello, sunshine! How is it going with Caleb? Have you two patched things up?” she asked, sounding very curious.I had not told her anything last night as we had initially agreed upon and I was sure that the suspense was killing her but I did not have it in me to indulge her so I went straight to the point. “Did you know that Caleb and Brianna were engaged?” I asked.“Ah!” that was the only thing that she said before she kept quiet.Her silence was completely telling. “How could you not tell me! This is the kind of thing that I need to know.

    Victoria POVI walked up to the stairs of my apartment building feeling exhausted from the drive and how emotionally taxing the past week had been. I was excited to go back to work and reestablish some sort of routine in my life. When I unlocked the door to my apartment I was not prepared for the sight that awaited me in the living room.There were wrappers of different foods and snacks all over the ground. I noticed a trail of ants that were all leading to a half-eaten apple in the corner of the room that looked like it was rotting. There was an array of dirty clothes; boxers, socks, a t- shirt strewn all over the room, and a pile of dirty dishes on the coffee table that was so high, I was surprised it had not fallen over.The smell that hit my nose was so pungent that it stung to inhale the air in the room. I knew that it would take forever to get that stench out of my furniture and clothes. In the center of it all, was my boyfriend, Gabe Jefferson who had somehow managed to turn o

    Caleb POV:I shifted in my seat as I counted the minutes till we could touch down again. The flight from Arizona to Los Angeles was short but I still hated every second of it.

We experienced some turbulence and I clutched even tighter to my seat.Bree on the other hand was right at home. She had her sleeping mask on and decided to take a little nap. I had tried to do the same but despite how comfortable the first-class seats were, I could not do it.Victoria’s face crossed my mind and I became even more frustrated. She was the most infuriating person that I knew. I hated how easily she had gotten under my skin. I last saw her when she came to finish unpacking the last batch of her mother’s stuff. I contemplated helping her out but I had a feeling that I was the last person that she wanted to see so I stayed out of her way.It sucked that we had fixed our relationship b

I grabbed her by her ponytail and she went completely still, allowing me to use her mouth. I closed my eyes tightly as I approached my climax. I pictured Brianna and all the wonderful things that she was doing to me with her tongue but it was all wrong. Her blue eyes were a different deeper shade of blue and her hair was fiery red.I kept going and climaxed, emptying myself out into her waiting mouth. I almost fell to the ground after I came.She, on the other hand, stood up, chuckled as she gave me a kiss on the cheek, and left the shower like she had not just given me a mind-blowing blow job.

Let me know when you’re available.ToriI pumped my fist up in the air. This was huge. I had absolutely no hope that she would text back let alone be open to meeting with me.

They were all waiting for me to shed light on the situation. I was still loss for words. Tori was actually blaming me for what happened to her store. I was in shock.“I don’t know. Tori never told me anything about Brianna threatening her. It’s the first I’ve heard of this,” I finally said.I was having a very hard time wrapping my head around the fact that Brianna could have done something like that. It wasn't like her at all, especially judging from the amount of damage that had been done to the store if my dad’s account of events was anything to go by.“Do you know where Brianna is right now?” my dad asked. “No, I haven’t seen or heard from her since we broke up so I have no way of knowing where she is. Wait, do you guys actually think that Brianna did this? There is no way.”Eric ran his hand
