Sky’s P.O.V.
“What happened to your leg?” I ask Zoe as I take a seat beside her on the desk in the classroom and notice a deep red mark on her shin. “I slipped in the bathroom,” she replies casually, taking a book from her bag. “When? Are you alright?” I freak out, concerned. “I’m fine, Sky. Don’t worry.” She reassures me, glancing at me. Before I can ask more questions, Selena enters the classroom and walks over to us. “Thanks for last night, Zoe.” She glances at Zoe’s leg. “I’m sorry you got injured because of me.” I stare at them, baffled. “What happened last night?” As Selena tells me how Zoe confronted the guy for her, Zoe hides her face behind her hand. That bastard. I’m not going to let him get away with hurting my best friend. He’s going to face my wrath. And what can I say about my dear Zoe? First, she puts herself in danger instead of asking for my help, and then she lies to me. God! This girl. She’s going to drive me crazy. After getting the guy’s details from Selena, I leave the classroom without saying a word to Zoe. She rushes after me. “Sky, stop. Listen to me.” I turn towards her, scowling. “Zoe, don’t follow me.” She tries to explain, “I just wanted to help my friend, Sky. She needed me.” “You could’ve called me, Zoe. Why do you never understand?” I ask, irked. “Please, stop lecturing me. I handled the situation so well last night,” she retorts. “Yeah! I can see how well you handled it,” I taunt, glancing at her injured leg. “My leg is fine, Sky. See…” She tries to jump, but hisses in pain. I catch her before she falls. “You’re unbelievable, Trouble.” I shake my head. “I know.” She giggles. No matter how much she annoys me, I can’t stay mad at her for long. *** It’s been a week since Alex and I dealt with the guy who hurt Zoe. Nobody can lay a finger on the people who are important to me, especially Zoe. I just lose control when I see her in pain. I can’t let anyone harm her. After college, Zoe and I are sitting in the garden, sharing an AirPod each and listening to music, when Alex comes to call me for match practice. “Alex, you’re a buzzkill.” Zoe chides him as we stand up, but Alex just rolls his eyes. “Go home safely, Zoe, and don’t forget to text me,” I instruct her. “Yes, boss.” She salutes, and I shake my head. *** As I head towards the basketball court with Alex, he shoots me a curious glance. “Hey, Sky, can I ask you something?” I nod at him while walking. “Sure. Go ahead.” “Well, you and Zoe have been close for so many years, and yet nothing’s ever happened between you two. Why is that?” I pause at his question. It’s not new; others have asked me the same thing over the years. I take a deep breath before responding. “Alex, Zoe and I… our friendship is pure,” I begin, glancing at him. “She’s been my best friend. I’ve never looked at her that way. She’s like family to me, you know?” “Yeah, I know, but it’s still shocking.” I chuckle at his words. “I know it’s shocking, but I’ve never felt anything more for Zoe than deep friendship.” “No physical desire for her?” He raises his brows at me. Physical desires for Zoe? Never. It feels like a sin. I shake my head. “Nope. Just a strong bond, which is rare.” *** Zoe: I’ve prepared chocolate mousse for you. Are you coming? I receive a text from Zoe as I’m on my way to my penthouse. Chocolate mousse is my favourite, but I can’t have any because I have an urgent meeting in an hour. Me: So sorry, Trouble. I can’t come. I have to attend a meeting. Zoe: What? You told me you would come. Me: I’ll taste it tomorrow. It’s important. I know she’s upset, but I plan to surprise her after the meeting by dropping by. Zoe loves surprises. Zoe: Okay. All the best. Me: Thank you. *** After my meeting, I come to surprise Zoe at her apartment. I unlock the door with the key she gave me years ago. When I don’t find her in the living room, I make the mistake of directly heading upstairs toward her room. As I near her door, I hear faint sounds that make me stop in my tracks. Moans. Soft, breathy moans. They send an unexpected jolt through me. Fuck! My heart races, and I feel a flush of heat wash over me. It’s Zoe. My best friend. I should turn away and give her privacy, but something compels me to look. Just run away, Sky. Just Go. A voice inside my head keeps telling me to go, but I don’t know why I can’t stop myself. The door is ajar, so I make the mistake of peeking inside. Fuck! Fuck! There she is, lying on her bed, legs spread open, one hand clutching a vibrator between her thighs, the other gripping the mattress. Her face is flushed, her eyes closed, and her moans fill the room, each one sending a shiver down my spine. I’ve never seen Zoe like this, never imagined her this way. But now, as I watch her, every part of my body wants her. My dick hardens painfully inside my tight pants, straining against the fabric. Her moans become the most alluring sound I’ve ever heard. They’re intoxicating, and I can’t tear my eyes from her. Damn, she looks so hot while pleasuring herself. The way she is arching her back and biting her lip—it’s driving me insane. I feel like rushing to her and replacing the vibrator with my dick. Fuck! No. What am I doing and what am I thinking? I should leave. This is wrong. She’s my best friend. She trusts me. “Oh God! I shouldn’t have peeked inside her room and seen her like this,” I mutter to myself, backing away hastily. I dash outside, guilt washing over me for seeing her like this. She’s awakened an intense desire within me I can hardly control. I can’t even describe how hard I am for her, and how difficult it was to stop myself from entering her room and knowing how tight she would feel around my dick. Fuck! What is wrong with me? What am I thinking? She is my best friend. What I witnessed today, will I ever be able to see Zoe the same way as before? This question runs through my mind as my driver opens the car door and I settle into the backseat.Sky’s P.O.V.As I reach home, my mind spins after what I witnessed at Zoe’s apartment. I can’t shake the image of her from my mind—her flushed face, the way her legs were parted, and the way she pressed the vibrator against herself. These images replay over and over, driving me crazy.Fuck! What’s wrong with me? I need to take a shower.I hurl my keys onto the kitchen counter and head straight to my bedroom, hoping a hot shower will clear my mind. But even under the warm water, I can’t stop thinking about her—my best friend, the girl I’ve always protected, the girl I’ve never seen in that way.I groan, frustrated with myself. “Get a grip, Sky. She’s your best friend, not some fantasy.” But my body doesn’t listen. My mind is filled with images of her, and it’s making me hard.Damn! I shouldn’t have seen her like that. It’s wrong. I can’t lust after my best friend. If Zoe ever finds out, I can’t imagine how she’ll react.No. No. She can never know. It would ruin our friendship. I can’t
Sky’s P.O.V.After the call, I head inside my penthouse. I need a distraction, something to take my mind off Zoe and the torturous images replaying in my head. Painting always helps me clear my mind, so I decide to give it a try.I hope focusing on a canvas will help me regain some control.I stand in front of the canvas with brushes and paints in my art room, my favourite place. Whenever I have free time, I come here and paint. I inherited this talent from my late mother. Painting makes me feel connected to her. After her passing a few years ago, I left the house we shared and moved into this penthouse. My dad often urges me to return home, but I’m not ready yet.As I begin painting, I try to let my mind wander to anything other than Zoe, but it’s no use. Every brushstroke seems to be guided by my subconscious thoughts of her. Before I realise it, I’m painting her.Zoe, lying half-naked on a bed, her lips slightly parted. Her eyes are closed, and her face is flushed, just like last n
Sky’s P.O.V.I return from my father's private island, where I spent a week clearing my mind. During that time, I came to a realisation—I can no longer see Zoe in the same light. Every night, I had intense dreams of her, and my desire to feel her body against mine, to hold her close and to bury myself deep inside her, has grown stronger.Despite feeling guilty, I can no longer deny the physical attraction I've developed for Zoe. It's overwhelming and uncontrollable.I'm longing to share my feelings because we've shared everything since school times. However, I must keep the truth hidden to protect our friendship. If I have to resist my desire or lie to her, I will. I'll do whatever it takes to save our friendship.I didn’t talk to Zoe much this week because I wanted to clear my mind. I gave her the excuse that I was busy with work.Now I don’t know how I’m going to face her in college. Will I be able to hide my growing feelings from her?Anyway, I miss spending time with her.Although
Every fibre of my being desires to devour Zoe’s lips as she sits in front of me, licking her lips while enjoying her favourite ice cream, completely unaware of what she’s doing to me.We came to her favourite cafe after our last class because I promised her I would make up for not giving her time last week.I wonder how her hair would feel wrapped around my fingers when I yank her towards me before capturing her lips and finally knowing how my best friend tastes.Fuck! I want to taste her so badly that it’s driving me insane. Every time she licks her lips, it sends a jolt of electricity through me, making it harder to resist the urge to lean over the table and kiss her.I can’t get the image out of my mind—her beneath me, her lips swollen from my kisses, her body arching towards mine.Zoe is my best friend. My feelings for her were so pure until that night, when everything changed. Now, these wild desires feel so forbidden, so wrong.“Sky…” Zoe snaps her fingers, pulling me out of my
Zoe's P.O.V."Just stop it, Zoe. You can't always behave like a child."As his shout echoes in my ears, tears roll down my cheeks. I'm seated in the backseat of a cab, heading back to my apartment.Although I understand Sky is going through something and is stressed out, his outburst at the cafe is still hurting me.For the first time, he treated me so harshly when I was just trying to cheer him up. Maybe it's my fault for not giving him space.But what am I supposed to do? I can't keep myself away from him when he's going through something. It was so hard to spend my days without talking to him when he was out of town for a week. I was hurt and worried about why he wasn't texting or calling me, and when I finally saw him after a week, all bruised, my heart nearly skipped a beat.I still can't believe that he got involved in a fight. It's a mystery why Sky is behaving so out of character. What's bothering him so much? I'm not convinced that it's just business-related. I feel like he's
Sky's P.O.V.A Week LaterTwo weeks have passed since the day my life turned upside down. Everything was going great between Zoe and me; we were content with our friendship, but that night changed everything. Now, no matter how hard I try, it's becoming increasingly difficult to resist Zoe.Whatever she does or wears drives me insane, and I can't stop myself from fantasising about her.My desire to touch and kiss every inch of her body, to taste her lips, to spread her legs, and to feel myself inside her grows more intense with each passing day.However, whenever I see her, I act normal. When it gets too hard to control myself and wild thoughts consume my mind, I give her the excuse of match practice or a business meeting.Zoe has been giving me space after my outburst. She doesn't question me much now. I still feel guilty for shouting at her when she was just trying to help me that day.I'm hiding the carnal desire I have for her to protect our friendship, but I fear I'm losing her.
Zoe's P.O.V. Two Weeks Later Finally, everything is back to normal with Sky. We've been spending more time together, and he's been less distant. However, I still sense that he's hiding something from me, but I've decided not to press the issue. I also can't get Selena's words out of my mind: that I should look beyond Sky. It's true—my life has revolved around him for so many years that if Sky gets too busy or distant, I feel lost. I've realized that I need to have a life outside of our friendship. The thought of looking beyond him feels impossible, but I'm trying. A few days ago, I started talking with a guy. He's in our college but in a different course. I met him in the library while I was searching for a book. His name is Liam, and he's sweet and kind. We've had a few coffee dates since then. Although I don't enjoy it as much as I enjoy being with Sky, it feels refreshing to have someone new to talk to. Now I know I can't let my happiness depend solely on him. Flashback As
Sky's P.O.V.Right now, my entire body is seething with intense rage as I watch Zoe dancing with that man, Liam.I sit on a bar stool next to Alex, gulping down whiskey, my eyes blazing with fury, fixed on Liam. It's a coincidence that Alex happened to come to the same club where Zoe and I are.The way Liam is holding her waist, pulling her close, feels like someone is ripping my heart out of my chest. I want to push him away from her, to claim what's mine, but I can't. Not without revealing my desire for Zoe, and certainly not without causing a scene."Getting jealous of seeing your best friend with another man? Amazing." As Alex notices my gaze on Zoe and Liam on the dance floor, a smirk plays on his lips."What the fuck are you talking about? Nonsense." I shoot him a glare.Even though he's right, I can't bring myself to admit it in front of him, especially since I'm not ready to fully acknowledge it myself."Nonsense, really?" He raises his brows at me. "But your look says otherwi
Zoe's P.O.V.As I enter Sky's penthouse, the place we've made our home over the past month and a half, fresh tears trickle down my cheeks. Every corner of the apartment is filled with memories of us.I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him here, but deep inside, I knew that happiness wasn't written in my cards. God would take Sky away from me, just as I lost my family. I was certain that destiny would play this cruel trick on me.As I step into the living room, I picture Sky chasing me because I stole the last piece of pizza. "Trouble, we had a deal to split this last piece," I recall him saying. I replied, "I don't remember any such deal." His laughter echoes in my mind—a sound I desperately long to hear again.As I walk into the dining area, I see myself sitting on his lap, giggling while he feeds me, teasing me."Sky, stop it! I can feed myself." I laughed, trying to grab the fork from him. "But you're such a messy eater," Sky teased, holding the fork just out of my reach
Sky's P.O.V.I slowly regain consciousness, blinking against the harsh lights above me. My body feels heavy and sore.Fuck! I feel like my head is about to explode.I notice the faces of Alex and Selena hovering above me, relief visible in their eyes. But my eyes search for the woman with the bangs. My Trouble. Where is she?"Hey, man." Alex gives me a gentle smile. "You scared the hell out of us. I'm glad you're alright."I give him a faint smile, but my eyes dart around the room, desperately looking for Zoe. I need to see her, to tell her I'm okay, to hold her hand and feel her warmth. I can't even imagine what she must have gone through when she found out about my accident. It must have been so hard for her.But where the hell is she? She should be here. I hope she's alright.Before I can ask about her, my dad enters the room, his eyes filled with concern and love. He steps closer to my bed. "Sky, thank God you're alright.""Yeah, Dad. I'm okay." I murmur, passing him a small smile
"Zoe? Zoe, are you still there?" As I hear Officer Harris's faint voice through the phone, I return to reality.Sobbing, I struggle to pick up my phone, my hands shaking. "Yes, I'm here. I'm coming to the hospital," I respond with great difficulty before ending the call.I grab my car keys and rush out.As I sit in the car, I fumble with my phone and dial Alex's number. Tears blur my vision, and my hands are shaking so badly that I almost drop the phone. I feel suffocated, as if someone is choking me by grabbing my neck."Hello." As Alex answers the call, a whimper escapes my mouth."Zoe... Are you alright? What happened?" He questions, his voice filled with concern."It's Sky. He's been in an accident." I hiccup. "I'm on my way to Jacobi Hospital." My voice shakes as I tell him. "Alex, I'm so scared for him.""Zoe, breathe. It's going to be okay. I'm coming to the hospital too. Just hang in there, okay?" He tries to reassure me, but all I can do is nod, fiddling with my pendant even
Zoe's P.O.V.After a Week"Shit! My cramps." I emerge from the bathroom after putting on a sanitary pad, my hand on my belly and my face contorted with pain. The pain of period cramps is one of the worst things in the world.I shuffle over to the couch and curl up in a ball, trying to find a comfortable position. The heating pad I've been using isn't helping much today, and I just want the pain to go away.As Sky enters the room, his brows furrow in worry at seeing my state. He rushes to me, asking, "Trouble, are you alright?" His eyes filled with concern are fixed on me.I let out a small groan, shaking my head. "These period cramps will kill me one day.""Hey, don't say that. You'll be fine," he reassures me, bending down and caressing my hair."How? Oh God..." I cry out, shutting my eyes."Zoe, relax. I know a way. I'll be right back." He dashes out of the room. I sit up, holding my stomach, praying for this pain to go away.A few minutes later, he returns with a cup. "Here's some
Zoe's P.O.V.After classes, I head to the basketball court, as always, excited to meet my Sky. He's already there, shooting hoops and looking incredibly handsome. Whenever I see him, I forget about everything that bothers me. Seriously, this man has some magical power to take away all my stress.He spots me and waves with a big grin on his face. As I approach him, he teases me with a playful smirk. "Ready to lose?"I roll my eyes. "In your dreams."I know I'm going to lose because I've played basketball only a few times, and I'm not exactly tall, but it's fun to banter with him.He laughs, tossing me the ball. "Alright, Trouble. Let's begin."I catch it awkwardly before dribbling the ball, feeling a bit clumsy.You can do this, Zoe! Give it a shot.Encouraging myself, I run for the basket, trying to score. As expected, I miss the shot, and the ball bounces off the rim, but Sky still cheers for me."Nice try, Trouble! You almost had it." He laughs, catching the ball."Yeah, yeah," I hu
Zoe's P.O.V.I wake up in Sky's arms in the morning, naked and feeling content. It's been a month of blissful mornings like this, and my favourite thing is waking up a few minutes early just to admire my man.I trace his jaw with my finger, smiling as I remember the countless moments we've shared since I moved in. Living with Sky has been more incredible than I ever imagined.Sky, as my best friend, was amazing, but as my boyfriend, he's on a whole new level. He's caring, passionate, and always knows how to make me feel special.I gently brush a lock of hair from his forehead, admiring the peaceful look on his face as he sleeps.Every moment I spend with Sky is filled with joy and contentment. I always knew Sky's girlfriend would be so lucky to have him, but I never thought I would be that lucky woman. Sky is the perfect life partner. Truly. Every clumsy and troublemaking girl deserves a man like him.And the way he's fulfilling my sexual fantasies is the cherry on top. He's so wild a
Sky's P.O.V.One Month LaterI pound into Zoe hard and fast, her body pinned against the locker, her legs wrapped tightly around my waist. Her eyes are half-closed in pleasure, and I place my hand over her mouth to silence her moans, making sure no one hears us outside the locker room.I have a match later today, and this is Zoe's unique way of wishing me good luck. Seriously, I can't think of a better pre-game ritual.It's been a month since Zoe moved in with me, and I can confidently say it's been a month of living in heaven. Going on dates with her on the weekends, falling asleep at night in her arms, and waking up next to her each morning—it all feels surreal and perfect. Our lives have become so wild and passionate that I can hardly remember a time when we were just friends.In this one month, I've fucked Zoe in every corner of my penthouse, in the car, in the college's washroom, finger-fucked her in the library and cafeteria around a few people, and even in the back row of the m
Zoe's P.O.V.The next day, I stand in front of the mirror, getting ready for college. A smile isn't leaving my face as flashes of the previous day revolve around my mind. It was the first day after I moved into Sky's apartment, and it was perfect.In just one day, Sky made love to me in many positions, and it's quite shocking that I'm still left craving more. I'm so sore, yet I want to feel him inside me again.What is he doing to me?Oh my God, the way he teased me yesterday when Selena called me. It was so amazing. After that, the orgasm I experienced blew my mind.It was another kind of thrill. I'm certain today Selena is going to tease me to no end."Sky... I can't hide the mark. Why did you give it here?" I complain as I try hard to hide the deep red hickey on my neck with the concealer.Sky chuckles, approaching me. "Because, Trouble, I wanted everyone to know you're mine."God! His possessiveness will kill me one day.I roll my eyes as a smile tugs at my lips. "I never thought
Sky's P.O.V.My phone rings, interrupting the peaceful silence. Zoe pouts as I pull away to grab it from the side table. I chuckle, leaning down to kiss her pout before picking up the call. She looks so adorable when she pouts like that."Hello," I answer after seeing Alex's name on the screen."Sky, it's time for our match practice. Where the hell are you?" Alex's voice comes through the speaker."Alex, I'm busy," I reply, glancing at Zoe with a smirk. I'm too engrossed in claiming Zoe as mine again and again. I just can't get enough of her.Alex laughs. "Busy, huh? I think I know exactly where you are."I frown. "If you know what I'm busy with, then you shouldn't have called.""Alright, alright. Enjoy your 'busy' time," he says, clearly amused before I hang up on him.Zoe taunts me, "My friend is better than yours. Look, she doesn't call me because she knows I'm busy."Just then, her phone rings and we both glance at it. It's Selene."Oh, really?" I tease, raising an eyebrow at her.
