~Daniel’s P.O.V~ I cant believe he said that. Who in their right mind would say that? Its utterly disgusting. He needs to learn a lesson. Not to talk to my girl, especially not like that. He should not talk to anyone like that. My nostrils flare as my fist comes in contact with the punching bag. “Fucking dick” I curse, trying to blow off some steam. “No way, Daniel Green. It’s been a while” A voice says behind me. “What do you want Drew?” I growl, not in the mood to talk to anyone. “Someone’s angry” He chuckles, crossing his arms. “Do you need something? I’m a little busy” I roll my eyes, punching the bag harder. “Fight me” He shrugs. “No” I answer simply. I need to save my energy for later. “Why not? Stop being a pussy. The Mason I knew was never scared” He irks me. “Shut your fucking mouth Drew. I’m fighting someone later. I don’t want to waste my energy on you” I sneer. Drew, my old fighting buddy. I used to take my anger out on him before I got introduced to alcohol.
~Skip a week~ ‘Daniel: Can I stop by quickly? I have a question’ I look at my phone confused, quickly typing back a reply. I’m currently dancing around my room in my sports bra and spandex, occasionally cleaning my room. I turn the music up a little more, blocking out all the outside noise. A couple songs later my music is abruptly stopped. My head snaps towards the door to see Daniel’s figure leaning against the door, a soft smile on his face. My cheeks heat up immediately. “Finally, some quiet. Goodbye” Cody sighs, walking out of my room. “So, what’s your question?” I ask, sitting on the floor. “I have this family thing that my mom is making me go to. And I um, I need a date for it” He says nervously. “Daniel, of course I’ll go with you. You’re literally my boyfriend. No biggie” I laugh, kissing him on the cheek. I continue my cleaning, ignoring the feeling that he’s watching me. “Kiss, um. But that’s not all” He sighs, looking down. “What is it Dan?” I question, putting m
~Kylie’s P.O.V~ A couple days ago Grace DMed me on I*******m telling me that her brother is back home and wants to see Kisses. We decided to make it a surprise. Today is the day that he’s coming here. Kisses is nervous about the dance tomorrow, but hopefully seeing her cousin again will ease her nerves a little. ~Kisses P.O.V~ Tomorrow is the dance and as the days go by I get more and more nervous. I’ll be meeting some of the Greens family for the first time. “Can we go do something?” I whine, pulling at Daniel’s arm. “No, we have to stay here Kiss. Please, just trust me” He says, kissing my forehead. “But I need a distraction” I frown, smoothening out his shirt. A smirk appears on his face and I brace myself for his inappropriate comment. “Oh, you do now? I can give you a distraction” He runs his hands up my legs, up to my shoulders, seductively. Goosebumps cover my body, my cheeks flaming red. “Not-not like that” I stutter out, not being able to ignore Masons hands resting j
Luke and I have been hanging out all day. Currently, we are back at the apartment, in my room. Luke is going through my memory box, flipping through the pictures as I lay on my bed, staring at the ceiling. “Can you teach me to fight?” I ask, turning my attention to him. He places the pictures down, looking at me. “You want to learn how to fight?” He asks, confusion all over his face. “Yeah, I want to try boxing” I shrug, sitting up. “Sure, I can teach you. I can’t picture you boxing at all though” He laughs. “Shut up” I shake my head. “When do you want to start?” He asks. “I don’t know. Whenever” I shrug, opening my planner. “How about now?” He suggests, grabbing my car keys. “What?” I laugh. “I have a friend who lives nearby. He owns a gym” Luke smiles. “What? Luke. Not right now. I want to just chill. Lets get ice cream” I suggest. “Ice cream after. Get changed and lets go” He says, arms crossed. “Fine” I sigh, grabbing some clothes and going into the bathroom. I chan
Today is the day. The day I’ve been shitting myself about for a week. I woke up at 10 and made everyone coffee and breakfast to try and distract myself. We are all chatting around the table, eating. “I gotta go get ready” I look at the time, seeing its 12:00. I run into my room, throwing my hair in a bun and getting changed into a tank top and shorts. I put Daniel’s hoodie back on, not wanting anyone else to see or realize. I head back out to the table with my purse and phone. “All ready?” Cody asks. “Yep, Kyl should be here soon” I check my phone, a text popping up right on cue. “Speaking of the devil. Bye guys. Luke, I’ll see you later. Take my room tonight. I’m staying at Daniels” I say, hugging them and running out. “Hey” Kylie smiles, pulling out of the parking lot. “Hey, how are you?” I take my purse off, placing it on the floor. “Good, take that off. Its hot” She picks at the material. “I know, I just had to wait” I take it off, covering the marks with my hair. “Why
I woke up to my phone ringing. “F?ck. Hello?” I groan into the phone, Daniel stirring next to me. “Kisses, where are you?” Luke asks. “I’m at Daniels, why?” I yawn, whispering. “Can I hang out with an old friend today?” He asks. “Yeah of course. We can do something tomorrow before you go to LA” I say, closing my eyes. “Thanks Kiss. See you later. Love you “He hangs up. I roll back over, nuzzling into the covers. “Mm, babe?” Daniel questions. “Yeah?” I ask, yawning. “What are you doing?” He laughs, causing me to open my eyes. My eyes bulge when I see I’m in fact nuzzling his boxers. “I-I’m sorry” I blush. “All good” He smiles, kissing my temple. “What time is it? I could go back to sleep for years” I stretch. “Its 10:00” He rubs his eyes. “Shit, that late? I forgot to call in sick. Oh my gosh” I ramble, jumping out of bed. “Kiss, calm down. Sydney gave you today off. Remember? Its okay to sleep in” Daniel says, Pulling my arm to lay back down next to him. “Now come on
I wake up, completely exhausted. Daniel left really late last night and we all talked for a while. I quickly change into a green hoodie, some black sweatpants, a white baseball hat with a rose and some white sneakers. I quickly curl my hair and do some simple makeup. I leave a note to Luke and grab my bag, keys and coffee. Almost done. When I get to school no one is at my locker yet. Why am I so early? I grab my books, closing the locker. “Hey Kiss” Christine and Dani come up to me, smiling. “Hey guys” I yawn. “You look tired. Where were you yesterday? “Christine smirks. “Daniel and I were exhausted and accidentally slept in” I say, my eyes meeting his. “Hey babe. You look cute” He kisses me, pulling on my hoodie. “No I don’t” I laugh. “You do. How did you sleep?” He smiles. “I barely did” I laugh, leaning against my locker, taking a sip of my coffee. The hot liquid burns my throat but I ignore it. “I’m sorry” He pulls me into his arms. “Y’all are cute” Dani smiles as Ti
“Kisses” Daniel’s voice wakes me up immediately. “Yeah?” I yawn, rubbing my eyes. “Are you okay?” He asks, throwing a t-shirt over his head. “Yeah, why wouldn’t I be?” mumble, ransacking my closet. “Last night. You were pretty shaken up” He scratches his neck, nervously. “Dan, can we talk about this another day? Please” I throw my closet door shut, not seeing anything to wear. “Yeah, okay. I’m sorry” He hugs me, grabbing some clothes from my closet. I slip the white crop top, grey shorts and cardigan on. I pull some slip on vans on, keep my hair natural and do some quick makeup, putting some chopstick and lipstick on. “Do I look okay?” I dab concealer under my eyes. “You look gorgeous Kiss. Just really tired” He frowns. “I know, I have not been sleeping” I sigh, grabbing my bag. “Want to sleep over tonight?” He asks. “Okay, that works. I have a double shift after school but I’ll stop home after work and pack a bag for your house” I nod, kissing his cheek. I feed Porsha whi
The much awaited day had finally arrived. Kisses Jackson would officially become Kisses Jackson Green and Daniel would finally marry the love of his life. All of the last minute preparations were being carried out diligently. The wedding was to be the event of the year. The groom, the biggest corporate honcho in all of North Carolina and the bride, a well established doctor and socialite. All the big names in both the industries had arrived from all over the world to witness their union. Back in his hotel suite, Daniel was fidgeting with his cufflinks in anticipation and nervousness. Today was the day the love of his life would become his, truly. ****************** Kisses Pov When the veil was finally placed over my face, the back of it pinned to my hair with a crystal hair pin I let out a breathe I had been holding in for quite some time. Kylie was yelling at the wedding planner to make minute changes over the phone to the decorations while the poor woman who was overlooking thing
After 4 years Kisses POV Finally, I have already finished college and have my own degree as a veterinarian. I am so happy that, despite the circumstances in life, I was still able to make my dream come true. My entire journey in college is not easy. It is like I’m on a roller coaster ride. Being far from my relatives and especially Daniel, is like I’ve been surviving. Daniel visits and sleeps in my condo once a week if he doesn’t have practice football. Despite all the hardships I have encountered, I am still thankful that there are people willing to extend their hand for help. Tomorrow is the day I have been waiting for. I am excited about having my diploma. I need to have beauty rest for tomorrow’s special event in my life. I wake up with a smile on my face. I feel mixed emotions: happy and sad. I am happy that my relatives and friends will be present on my special day. Sad because my parents will not be there. But still, I need to have happy vibes for my day. I quickly get a show
~Daniel’s P.O.V~ Kisses leaves for school in a couple of days and to say I’m devastated would be an understatement. She hasn’t left my house unless it was for work or with me. I want to do something special for her today. I’m going to invite everyone over as a last little party to end the summer and get her a couple of things. I just finished my workout, Kisses is still passed out in bed. I get a couple of things together in the kitchen and prepare a small breakfast for her. She hasn’t been sleeping great. I’ve tried to talk to her about it but she just denies it. I know that she’s been having her night terrors. I think it’s stress-induced. I cut up some fruit and made a little platter, mixing some pancake batter together. I drop a couple of chocolate chips in them and let them cook. Once the food is all done I brew a cup of coffee and bring the food upstairs. Much to my surprise, Kisses is rubbing her eyes, the comforter covering her body. “Good morning, baby” I kiss her foreh
Last night was eventful if you know what I mean. Daniel has been a bit out of hand lately because I’m leaving for school soon. Speaking of school, I still haven’t packed yet. I don’t want to pack yet. I’m excited about school but not the location. It’s so far from Daniel. I grab my phone, checking the time to see that I have to get ready for work. I’m only working half a shift today, maybe then I’ll have time to pack. I slowly get out of bed, careful not to wake Daniel up. I ruffle through my bag, wanting to put some pants on. “Mm, I can’t wait to wake up to this every morning one day” A raspy voice comes from behind me. “Oh shush” I laugh, shaking my head. “It’s actually been a sort of dream I’ve had since I was little. My wife and I cooking breakfast in the morning. Me in a pair of sweatpants, you in my oversized t-shirt with a cute messy bun and no makeup” He smiles, his eyes tired. “Go back to bed” I shake my head, walking into his bathroom to change and get ready. When I
Today was the worst. Daniel had practice all day and I had to work all day. We were both so busy and I can’t even see him tonight. My phone sounds telling me I have a new text. Daniel: Baby Me: Daniel. Hey, what’s up? Daniel: I love you so f?cking much Me: I love you too hun. Is everything okay? Daniel: Nope Me: What’s going on? Daniel: Gotta go. Kisses I stare at my phone, confusion covering my face. I quickly dial Daniel’s number. It goes straight to voicemail. “Cody, I’m going to Daniel” I grab my keys, water, wallet, and phone charger and rush out the door. On my way I call Kylie, her voicemail greeting me. I get even more worried. Kylie always answers everyone right away. I hesitate to go faster than the speed limit, images of what happened last time flash through my brain. I ignore them, seeing the huge hill that leads to Daniel’s house. Soon enough I pull up to the house, rushing out to see a single car in the driveway. The house is silent except for the silent h
I wake up with a sharp pain in my lower abdomen. Great. Daniel’s not in the bed, he must be downstairs. I get out of bed, trying to ignore the shooting pain. Surprisingly there’s not a stain. Thank God. “F?ck” I mumble, dragging myself into the bathroom, ransacking the medicine cabinet. “Kisses? What are you doing? Are you okay?” Kylie asks, seeing my pained expression. I shake my head. “Can I borrow a pad and some Midol or something?” I lean against the sink. It’s never been this bad. “Yeah, sure” Kylie nods, running to grab the stuff. “I don’t have any Midol, I have Advil though” She holds the pad out to me. “No, that’s fine. Thank you” I take it from her and quickly change only to see there’s nothing to change. “Are you sure you’re okay?” Kylie asks from the other side of the door. “What’s wrong?” Daniel’s panicked voice asks. “I’m-“ I start before a horrible feeling overcomes me. Soon, I’m doubled over the toilet. “Oh my gosh,” Daniel rushes over to me, holding my h
I woke up to Daniel’s cold fingertips running up and down my bare thighs. I turn over, smiling up at his peaceful looking face. “Good morning babe” He kisses my forehead. “Good morning Mr. Green” I giggle as his fingers tickle my sides. He smiles before checking his watch. “I need to go to practice and then see Ms. Price. Kylie said she’s not doing great. I’ll come back over tonight when I’m done” He grabs his clothes and slips them on before tossing a baseball hat on his head and going into the bathroom. Yesterday was awful. My mom wants my forgiveness but I don’t know what to do. She seems better, but I can’t trust them. My father is a lost cause. He’s just as bad sober, as he was drunk. I’m reminded of the awful night terror I probably woke the whole house up with last night. When he comes back out he sits on the bed next to me, caressing my cheek. His shirt fits like a glove, showing every muscle and feature of his that I adore. I have to stop myself from drooling over him.
~Daniel’s P.O.V~ Words are spewing out of Kisses mother’s mouth faster than a volcano erupts. I’m watching Kisses, knowing her walls are slowly breaking and her heart is racing. I wrap my arm around her waist, whispering in her ear, ‘Deep breaths’ She nods, leaning into my chest. “Daniel, sweetie, thank you for protecting my daughter. I don’t know what I would do without you” She turns her attention over to me. I nod, withholding from the long line of profanities I wish to let out. “I know you don’t like me, and that’s understandable. But I hope you both will forgive me” She continues. Neither of us answer and she presses the issue. I can feel Kisses slipping away. Each word her mother says, more and more pressure is being put on me to hold her up. She physically is struggling to be present in the conversation, I can only imagine how she is feeling mentally. “Mom, please” She whispers, her grip on my arm tightening. “Kisses, you need to forgive me. You’re my only daughter. You’
Today was such a stressful day at work. The business has been increasing and there has been hardly anyone working with me. Most of the day I’m alone or have one co-worker with me. “Hey, Sydney can I talk to you?” I knock on her door. “Yeah, of course. What’s up?” She motions for me to sit. “I’m sorry, and I know it’s not my place but it’s getting very busy” My voice gets low. I can’t afford to be fired but it can’t go on like this. “I know. I’m sorry, I have three people in for tomorrow and I’ll take you off. Take the day tomorrow, please. I’ll pay you your normal and send you the check in the mail. Don’t worry about it. I’ve been trying to get dependable people on but no one’s showing up. I did increase your pay for the last two weeks because of how hard you’ve been working” She gives me a sincere smile. “Oh, no. I can come in tomorrow, it’s not a problem. Thank you. So much” I nod. “No, please take the day off. You need it. You look exhausted. Now go, watch a movie or hang out
