It was exhilarating, every single second of it.
His hands cupped my face gently, caressing my skin tenderly. I pressed my body closer to his as I wrapped my hands around his neck, one going up his neck and into his soft hair. Our lips moved slowly, leisurely, like we were savoring these sweet moments with our lips together.
I felt Dean's tongue nibble on my bottom lip and I parted my lips slightly, granting him entrance. And immediately our tongues met one another's, the slow and leisure movement didn't feel enough anymore.
My insides felt like jelly as our tongues danced with one another, tasting him, feeling him, every little wonder of his mouth. I let out a soft moan when his hands went down to grasp my waist, his fingers on my bare skin, making them feel like they were on fire.
Dean placed his hands under my thighs and lifted me off the

Chapter 39It had been a week since I had been ignoring Dean.I wouldn't like to use the word 'ignoring' but I knew that was exactly what I was doing and I wasn't one to sugar coat things.Not a day went by that he didn't call, or text. And each time he did, I ignored them. Most times, I'd read through our old texts and sometimes, I'd see the three dots pop up, but I won't receive anything. It'd just be there for a long time.Most times, I'd see him lurking around my department, like he was trying to reach out to me and talk to me but at the same time he was scared to because he wanted so much to respect my wishes. And each time, all I'd want it do is walk up to him and let him drive me home as we listen to our favorite songs on the radio but I couldn't.There was this day, I saw his car around but not him and as I tried to look out for him. I saw him and Jenna seated

Chapter 40Chris sped through the streets of Santa Clara and parked at the bar in not less than 6 minutes. The car wasn't even fully parked when I opened the door and barged out of it. I waited for Chris to step down from the car but he just sat there quietly, trying to look into the bar."Hey, you coming?" I asked."Nah, just go ahead." He said to me. "I think seeing you will be for the best. If you need help carrying him, just call or something.""You sure?" I raised an eyebrow.He nodded.I made my way toward the front door of the bar and walked in. I continued to walk when my eyes spotted Dean's back, fully slouched, his hair a toppled mess on his head. I could make out the drink in his hand. I was about to walk up to him but stopped in my tracks wh

Chapter 41Immediately we were in Dean's bedroom, he shut the door and pressed my back against it. In a swift moment, his lips were on mine again and I felt my insides explode. I reached to cup his face in my hands but he held them in place and pinned them above my head to the door. I couldn't help the moan that escaped me immediately our tongues met each other's.Our lips moved in perfect sync, leisurely, selfishly. I let out a heavy breath when his lips made their way to my neck, working their magic on them. His hands found their way under my thighs and lifted me up effortlessly. I wrapped my legs around his waist and ran my hand through his hair. His hair was full and soft, just like his lips.I made a sound so low in my throat as I felt Dean suck hard on my neck, moving away from his door and placing me on his cupboard, my butt pushing a few items to the floor. I couldn't care less a

Chapter 42"Grace, your boyfriend's here!" I heard Chris yell from the living room.I bit my lip as my heart began to race. I took a quick glance at my reflection in the mirror. I let out an exasperated sigh when I tried to get my hair in place.I frowned as I ran a hand through my hair, "More makeup, perhaps?" I bit my lip and looked at my back view over my shoulder. "No. No more makeup."Ugh! I looked so ugly!I was dressed in a black leather jacket over a purple floral summer dress with a sweetheart neckline, which ended a little above my knees with black heels on my feet. I groaned as I picked up a scrunchy from my vanity and tied my hair up in a loose ponytail."Grace!" I heard Chris shout again. "What's the hold up?!""I'm coming!" I shouted back.I placed my phone and lip g

"I'm not even saying anything, you're the one who can't shut up."I glared at him playfully and he dug his face into my neck, making bear sounds."You are absolutely the worst person in the entire universe." I chuckled softly and jogged away from him, toward the front door, Dean following suit behind me.I placed my index finger above my lip

Chapter 44"Penelope!" Jenna exclaimed as she jogged over to Mrs Ryan."Jenna, dear!" Mrs Ryan embraced her with a beaming smile on her face.That hurt more than it was supposed to."It's so nice to see you again, darling." Mrs Ryan pulled away. "How was your trip here?""It was good." Jenna replied, a smile plastered on her face. "It feels so good to be back in LA after such a long time. Thank you for inviting me here.""Our home would always be your home too, Jenna." Mrs Ryan said lovingly to her.She didn't use that tone of voice with me, she didn't smile like that to me. Hell, she didn't even look pleased to see me. It was obvious to everyone that she loved Jenna, like she was her very own daughter and i

Chapter 45My eyelids fluttered opened and I had to put my hand above my face to block the rays of the striking morning sun from my face. I looked beside me to see that the space I expected Dean to be lay in was empty. I ran a hand down my face as I sat up. I was about to take my phone from the nightstand but something else got my attention.A note.I bit my lip as I reached for the note and opened it. It read;Goodmorning Chip.Slept like a baby and had quite the dream. But unfortunately, I have to leave so my Mom won't see us. And you look really pretty when you sleep.Yours,Ice cream Man.That was a good way to start my morning.Once

Chapter 46 "...yeah and I'm sorry for that but you can't expect me to just agree to this." "Mom, I'm not in the mood for an argument right now, so just please… don't stop me from doing this." The voices that spoke in hushed tones blended into my sleep, while I was at the verge of consciousness. I heard the monotonous voices again and my eyelids fluttered open and immediately, I felt a slight pain in my head. I sat up straight and noticed that I was in a room I was unfamiliar with and in clothes that weren't mine. I let out a low sound as my fingers went up to my temples, rubbing them in a circular motion. "I can not believe what you are saying right now, Jason." I heard a voice which I recognized to be Mrs Ryan's speak, and her tone wasn't so pleasant. "We're adults, okay? What do you think I'm gonna do? Get her pregnant?" I heard Dean whisper, clearly aggravated. I furrowed my brows slightly as I stepped out of the bed, taking short, careful strides towards them. "I'm not lett

I had no idea how this was going to go or what I should've said next but all I knew was that there were a million things that I was finally ready to get off my chest. I was done fighting it, I was done trying to act strong, I was done with all of it. Because standing there in that very moment, I realized something;I missed him.God, I missed him painfully."Can I come in?" I asked him.He cleared his throat like my voice snapped him out of a trance

Chapter 70I woke up the next morning with this nervous feeling in my stomach. Every action I performed, right from brushing my teeth, having a shower and getting ready, made the feeling in my stomach go up a notch every time.Every bone in my body screamed at me to just stay home today until I was sure that I could go to school without feeling like anxiety was about to knock me out but there was also a voice at the back of my mind that told me to suck it up and get this over with once and for all.I swear, I felt like a freshman on their first day of high school.Chris and I's schedule no longer aligned this year.

I remember how hurt Dean looked when I walked out of the penthouse which was basically our home for months. I remember how his face fell when he begged me not to fall out of love with him and I lied through my teeth. I remember feeling like a part of me was missing when I had to force myself to be okay. I remember going back to my best friend and him trying to get me to hear him out.Chris had told me that Dean had explained to him what really happened and that if I'd just listen to what

Chapter 68{ D E A N }Three days.I hadn't heard from Grace in three days.Ever since she broke up with me, I've felt completely empty. As cheesy and over the top as this may sound, everything seemed to have lost purpose and meaning. I never thought a time like this would come, where Grace would no longer want anything to do with me, where we wouldn't be together.After that morning at Chris', I drove back home feeling the deepest void inside me. I had been texting Grace nonstop to hear me out but I haven't gotten a response from her. It was only today that I realized that she had blocked my number, if not deleted it and that hurt me, a lot.

Jenna was saying something but I had completely drowned her out, trying to calm the wave going on in my head.The photo stared back at me, taunting me, mocking me, causing a thousand questions to flood through my mind and rush back out. I wanted to believe that this was all just some stupid prank, that Jenna was lying about all of this, that Dean had not

We still hadn't seen the photos, Chris wouldn't let us. He said he wanted us to see it for the first time in the exhibit and we didn't mind, honestly. We were just really proud of him and his accomplishments.The photo exhibit was tonight and Dean and I had gotten ready to leave. We had agreed to meet Chris there, as well as our other friends whom he had invited. I was dressed in a rose gold dress which hugged my upper body and flared from my waist, ending mid-thi

Dean shouted as he wrapped me up in him as an attempt to cover me up."I'm never gonna see again!" Chris exaggerated, throwing his hands over his eyes. "Please put some fucking clothes on! Holy mother of Jesus. How will I ever unsee that?"I couldn't help but laugh at how ridiculous he was being. Dean's glare etched his features as he lifted himself off me, looking around for wherever we threw our clothes to. He tossed his shirt to me, putting on his briefs right after. I put the sh
