Laura I stood there without being able to move a single muscle while looking at Jason running on the electric treadmill, but he noticed the presence of someone else in the room and turned around to look at me. I noticed the surprise on his face just seeing me there, and he quickly reduced the speed
"You're wrong, it's my decision. I let you kiss me or nothing happens," I said finally, then he started to realize my real plan, I was there to put an end to all that nonsense. I was there to kill two birds with one stone. "You insane…" he shook his head, not being ready to give up on me. "Come on
Jason I almost couldn't move as I watched Laura practically run out of the mansion, running away from me. My chest rose and fell with pressure, and my heart beat wildly. I staggered across the room, holding on to the sofa, and threw myself onto the floor, lying on my back. "What was that? Fuck…"
"It was wonderful, Terry," I said, smiling like a fool. "We kissed, and it was a kiss that will go down in history." "Woah, so it was that kiss, right?" Terrence seemed excited too. "That kiss, friend. That kiss," I stammered, laying my head on the couch and staring at the ceiling while my though
LauraThe sound of my cell phone ringing scared me so much that I woke up scared, and then I grimaced, feeling the headache and massaging my temples. I had slept with my dress on and everything. I grumbled, picking up my cell phone, which was still calling, and then answered, stretching my neck beca
Laura"My God, what a huge hickey! You guys enjoyed the kiss yesterday, didn't you?" Ava said it mischievously as she looked at the photo of my neck that I had sent her, and I rolled my eyes with a sigh. "It wasn't like that at all, it was just a simple kiss," I lied, shrugging my shoulders to all
Laura To my delight or chagrin, Jason didn't show up at the launch of Nemesis' new clothing line that day. This partly made me relieved because I wasn't going to be all apprehensive about his presence in that place, but that didn't mean that I didn't miss him. We received many important people, c
Laura What's wrong with you, Jason? What are you doing? You're so close to me, so why don't you kiss me? Why are you avoiding me? Who said I wanted to talk about work? I want you to kiss me. I need you to grab me and kiss me passionately. Furthermore, I need to feel you again. Can't you see I'm fee
He hesitated, his smile faltering, but he sat, still clutching the bouquet like a shield. “Sure, about what?” I took a deep breath, looking straight into his eyes. “About you following me around. Showing up in my classes, staring at me all the time. It has to stop, Caleb. I’ve already told you I
Annie POV A month had passed since the first day of classes, and it felt like the universe was determined not to let me have any peace. Caleb was everywhere—in my classes, in the hallways, at every corner of the campus—always watching me from a distance with those brown eyes I once found comforti
Annie POV I was still standing in the hallway, Caleb’s words echoing in my head like a poorly tuned radio. He wanted to surprise me by coming to Oxwell. He still thought about me. He thought I was jealous. Each of his sentences looped endlessly, and I tried to figure out what I felt—anger, confus
“I know, I know,” he laughed, a light sound that seemed to brighten the space between us. “I couldn’t believe it myself when they accepted me. But it was a chance I couldn’t pass up.” I nodded, trying to find something to say that didn’t sound like the chaos swirling in my head. Caleb here, at the
Annie POV It was the first day of classes at college, and the tension between Abby and me still hung in the air like an invisible fog. Though we shared the same dorm, we didn’t speak to each other. We ignored one another completely, pretending the other wasn’t there. I spent my time interacting
Max POV The club was a circus of flashing lights and bass that made the floor feel alive, pulsing like a heart about to burst. The air reeked of gin and tonic, sweat, and overpriced perfumes, and I was at the bar counter, swirling the ice in my bourbon, watching the crowd throw themselves onto the
I blinked, trying to process what he was saying. "But what if... what if I mess it all up again? I’m not perfect, Matt. I have my flaws, my scars." He smiled, a smile both gentle and confident. "No one’s perfect, Lindsay. I’m not either. But you know what? My dad, Killian... he’s not my biological
Lindsay POV We arrived at the hotel after a night that still echoed in me like a good dream. Wyatt was exhausted, which wasn’t surprising after such an eventful day at the Weiss house. He fell asleep almost immediately after I put him to bed, a slight smile on his face that made me feel that, despi
Lindsay POV The dinner was a marvel, an experience that felt like a warm hug in the form of food and company. Emma Weiss insisted that I try every dish she had prepared with such care, and I couldn’t deny how much it made me feel welcomed. "My lasagna recipe is famous," she said with a proud smile,
