Fated to love you 97: Speak of the Devil
By the time the school resumption rolled in, I was elated to explore and indulge in the change it would offer at the moment. Other than Mac’s excessive gestures, on the other hand, I had heard nothing from Lucas and I was trying not to think too much of it. One of the reasons for that was because of late I had been having the nagging feeling that if I didn't do anything to show Mac that I could be useful, he might go back to being the mean and unfeeling person I knew him as.And as cruel and foolish as this might sound, I couldn't afford to do that. I had gotten too used to this newfound softness that going back to the cold wild would break me beyond my ability to heal. or at least it was what I thought.Coupled with the fact that things were getting more serious with us by the day, the kiss had gone far and wild to the extent that Father had heard of it which was both mortifying and calming because at least in my defense he is my mate so we did nothing wrong but then it had given ev
Fated to love you 98: It's your choice to make.
In a flash, Lola was over at my side and crushing me with her feeble weight while I laughed it off and hugged her back.I did miss her, and I wanted nothing more than for us to resume our cycle and actually give each other all the tea on what happened during the break. On my part there were things I was dying to tell her, things that included Mac's sudden change of attitude. "You must have been so anxious, getting here so early" Lola glanced at the wristwatch on her hand, then offered me a small smile. She knew me too much. "Only anxious to see you," I teased. Then I went over to help her lift her things into the room. "I see you've learned my way of expression" She grinned and threw her bag at me. I dodged it and laughed "One can only live with you for so long until they adopt all your habits." Only Lola would come back with several bags of clothes and yet take an hour every morning to find something suitable for the day. The girl was the most unique person I'd met. After we bo
Fated to love you 99: Or was there?
The message came in just as I unlocked my phone. I stared at it in unbelief. It read 'what time are you free tommorow?'I gasped.The fact that he wanted to see me despite everything I thought showed me that once again Lola was right about everything... Well almost everything. But other than that, I couldn't shake off the fact that I thought he knew my schedule and this was merely formality. I was almost so certain of it. "Was that a message from him? What does it say?" Lola rushed over at once and had a gigantic smile on her face the moment she read the same words that I did.We had no lectures tommorow because it was resumption week and that meant that people would resume almost every single day of the week so lectures officially began next week. I was free the whole day. But did I really want to tell him that? The thought of spending the entire day with him or around his confines made me jittery in a way that felt wrong. And I wasn't sure of my confidence in myself to keep mys
Fated to love you 100: A ploy of deceit and Shadows.
Lola noticed the shift in my mood immediately. From the look of things, it seemed Charles did too because the moment I looked away he reached for my hand but on reflex I deflected it. My thoughts were swirling around in a confused motion and I couldn't decide what to believe or what not to believe. Maybe I was simply overthinking but it was crazy to think of what was happening. Was it even possible? A fresh string of rage hit me once more. Did he really fool me by keeping me for so long in the dark?Would Lucas do this to me? Was I nothing but a plaything to them? someone they could conveniently deceive and go Scott-free?I took another step back and placed my hands on my head in pretense."Um, you know what? You guys can go ahead without me, I suddenly developed a splitting headache and it hurts like hell to move" I lied. "Are you okay?" Lola piped, her concern shining through her voice and her scrunched-up face so much that I felt instantly guilty for lying to her and making her w
Fated to love you 101: A shocking secret.
I didn't know who ended the call but at the moment I couldn't bring myself to care at all. Tears flowed from my eyes on their own accord and it didn't give me a reason to know if they were worth it or if they were not.It hurt that my one friend other than Lola was nothing but a bodyguard all along. Showing up at the most random places and acting like our meeting was purely coincidental. It stung like hell. But looking at it in hindsight I could see how perfectly orchestrated the whole thing was, even though at the moment I had written it off as nothing but a mere coincidence, Was anything even real? The night we met, he said he had been out and running too, but was that the truth? How many of our encounters have been premeditated and planned but painted to me as a coincidence which I happily bought into?My heart stung at the thought. Once more, ir suddenly made so much sense why I was paired with Lucas for the Alumni event. Because of what I knew now, I also knew that it really was
Fated to love you 102: To me you matter the most.
The first thought I had as the door of the car was opened for me was that, somehow, I had completely forgotten about Mac for a second and how quiet he had been since I got to school.This second thought was more treacherous, but it felt more like mine, like something that was born out of deep resentment and anger. Maybe this betrayal was good for me to finally steel my heart against the guilt tugging my heart at the thought of tricking Lucas into giving me some useful information. Deceiving him the exact way he had treated me by leaving me in the dark.But they were merely thoughts. Harmless imaginations, my brain strung and conjured together to justify the anger and rage it felt. There were no actions stringed to them, attached to the heap of these words, and it was so easy to think, but the execution was the difficult part. My fingers shook slightly as I was ushered into the grand building. For some reason, I had anxiety about all that was going to unfold. I didn't want to hear anyt
Fated to love you 103: Get out! Now!
"What do you mean?" I walked closer to him. It was easier to read his facial expression from upclose but it made me more feel things I had no business feeling, like compassion and sympathy because several emotions swirled in his blue orbs and for a second, for a moment of weakness I thought he looked ridiculously vulnerable. His back was turned against me in an instant, I reached out to touch his shoulders but my hands froze mid-air. What the hell was I doing? I was the victim here.This wasn't what I planned and hoped today would be, and why were positions shifting in an instant? How did I somehow feel the urge and need to comfort him?"How can I trust you?" My voice wavered. It was thick but small with emotions "How can I take every word you say as a meter of truth and without deceit? You say you sent Charles to protect me, and I matter the most to you, but has it ever occurred to you that I am not yours? I am mates with Mac! The same person you keep talking about like he's the de
Fated to love you 104: Wet and Caught!
I walked out of his office with my body vibrating from all the pleasure I received only moments ago. I still hadn't recovered from it.I couldn't pinpoint the exact second he lost control, but I could tell that he had. There was something about that kiss that was feral and wild, something that had us both intertwined and too deep in it that nothing else mattered.I tried to catch my breath as I sat in the lobby outside his office and I tried to stop the blood flowing to my cheeks. There was no denial that they were flushed. Just like how my full lips were twice the size and so soft. I dragged my teeth over them as the scene replayed in my mind. Something down there was wet. The feeling was new and it felt obscene. The thought had me blushing and for once I was grateful no one was seated with me in the lobby because then they would see the look on my face, and they might catch on but I would die of mortification. The realization of what had just happened dawned on me in tiny bits: one
