Her legs wrapped around his waist, her perfect long nails piercing his skin as she pulled, all Kate could think about was the divk of the man on top of her. If there was anything bringing her back to Seth, she would say it was the way he kept her satisfied in bed. He just has that vibes, that dominate nature and somehow knows how to please every inch of her pathetic want and lust. Lots of ohs and ahs filled the room as they made love. Made love? They basically had sex as nothing seem right about them. "Let me assume, you are leaving soon," Seth said. Choosing to ignore him as usual, Kate rolled over the bed as she looked around the room. It wasn't as if she had not seen it before but this day seem unbearable. The heat, the way it seems extremely stuffy, gosh! Sweating, Kate clumsily stood up and searched for her undies, on finding them, she quickly got dressed and applied a little makeup. "Kate" Seth said a bit calm but the high level of satire coul
Under the hot gaze of her mom, Kate immediately became conscious of her body. She mentally recalled the way Seth had held or handled her at his place and thought about any marks. Without being told, she subconsciously began to cover up her body. From her arms to her neck, not even a hickey because she knew how much trouble she would get into.The last time her mother caught her doing what she didn't approve of, her body was spared to tell the story. Mrs Hart cussed, kick, and even attempted to kick her off the out of she doesn't do anything 'perfect' again.With her gaze everywhere except her mom's face, Kate silently prayed for a miracle."I said, where are you coming from dressed like ... like" Mrs. Hart paused for a few seconds and eyed Kate from head to toe, her left index finger "Dressed like a tramp?." Kate looked down at her body for a while before looking up at her mom, by them, she had already come up with some she felt would be an escape route for her. Fro
Looking at the flat look on her father's face, Kate rolled her eyes. She wasn't surprised to see the person behind her mother's distaste was no one but her Stepbrother; Lucas. The illegitimate son of the family. It wasn't his fault that Mr. Hart traveled for business, met someone hot, and decided to have an affair with the person. It wasn't his fault that his mother came some years back with the evidence of the affair; him. Well, that evidence wasn't enough when Lucas's mother came as no one believed her. Even after the woman died, no one believed, leaving Lucas to be the most hated part of the family. Good thing Mr Harts didn't hate him too and thanks to his wisdom. Sometimes, Kate wished she was as smart as her younger brother but she wasn't, she didn't pray to be in his shoes. No one would want to be in the worst part of her mother. Sometimes, Kate would want to remind her mother that no child was ever illegitimate. As long as they weren't the ones that forced them
Frozen, Kate gulped. She mentally tried to recall of she actually covered her neck with the foundation and when she remembered she did, she became a bit calm. Although she was shaking inside, the whole of her inside was doing summersault, trying to make her look as guilty as possible but she remained calm. Some part of her wondered how Lucas had known that it was a hickey no matter how she tried to hide it but she didn't dare to ask. She maintained her straight face, not making him see any bit of her panicking emotions. Coward! Whenever she finds herself in a situation like that, all Kate knew how to do best was stay silent. Not as if she had anything useful to say or she could even try to defend the truthful accusations. "How do you feel, Kate?" Lucas asked. Again, Kate remained silent. She then began to cover the side where she had the neck with her hair. The long blonde hair covered half of her shoulder, down one of her breasts to the side of her
The anger from Seth could be seen and heard that when he asked her questions again, particles of his saliva dropped on her face. Kate closed her eyes eye a few seconds before opening back to meet the same angry gaze from Seth. Good thing, her mom had long been gone, she was in school alone, having no one to bug the shit out of her so she reminded silent. She would not tell him that their little affair was known by her stepbrother some days back, she would not tell him that she couldn't tell what they were anymore, she would not tell him that she generally would stay silent till he got sick of her and leave by himself. Well, Seth wasn't having it at all. "Kate! When I talk to you, you fvcking answer me! Why haven't you been replying to my messages?" He asked almost calmly this time. It was almost calm because he had reduced his voice but the angry vein could still be seen on his neck. His red face and clenched fist could be seen, making Kate stand still a
Chapter 6Kate eyes were too heavy to open as she struggled to keep them open. Her head was throbbing like ten people were dancing on it and it ached so bad.There should have been a warning for her that the aftermath of taking alcohol was this painful. She was told about this during the college night party but she didn't expect this much headache.Her nose kept on picking every kind of smell making her nauseous and feeling like throwing up.She finally won the struggle against her own eyes and opened them, forcing herself to sit up on the bed.Everywhere was still blurry but the musty smell and the feel of the bed cover immediately told her where she was as the memories came rushing back.Right, she had been so devastated about finding out that Liam was having a relationship with Grace that she got so drunk and texted Seth.Suddenly remembering Seth, she turned to her side, expecting him to be laying next to her but she was surprised to see herself spawned on the bed, visibly naked w
The jarring sound of the alarm interrupted Kate's sleep as she rolled over on the bed, using the pillow to cover her ears.As usual her alarm goes off by six am and she wakes up to prepare for the day but today, of all days, she was not rushing off the bed as usual.Irritated by the sound of the alarm which made its way through the pillow on her ears, she pushed the pillow off and stared at the duck shaped clock.A day won't hurt, right? She can sleep in and turn off the alarm instead of living like a robot as soon as the alarm goes off.A small smile crawled up her face as the idea of living a different life, even if it was just for a day, crossed her mind and she turned off the alarm.Sighing with relief as soon as the blaring noise was turned off, She snugged her bedsheet closer and closed her eyes.Yet she wasn't feeling okay. She wanted to rebel but the idea of rebelling was still strange to her. She can't believe that for the first time in a long time, if not Since she was born,
After training in the gym, Kate rushed home to take her bath according to what she told Grace but she actually went back home because Grace wouldn't be home until evening and she needed some time to herself. The anger and hurt she was feeling while she exercised was higher than she expected because she kept on feeling like harming Grace. She had to leave in order to protect both herself and grace. What annoyed her the most was that Grace kept on acting like nothing happened, like she didn't just steal the man her friend had always talked about. As Kate came out of the bathroom in her bathrobe, she stared at herself in the mirror, wondering how she was able to keep a straight face when Grace asked about Liam from her. It was funny because why on earth would she be asking her about her boyfriend? It was almost as if she wanted to rub it in Kate's face that she can never have Liam, not that Kate cared anymore. Running her hands through her slightly damp hair as she plugged the air
Chapter 23Her leg spread across his chest as she rolled around on the bed, slowly crawling up and down his feet, teasing him."Take your leg off," Lucas said slowly as she touched his hand with a flirty smile."What? It's not bad, right? I'm trying to ease your mind," Grace grumbled silently."Just get off," he said as he shifted away from her on the bed.Grace stood up and frowned at him, standing stark naked as she walked past him."You are cool," she said as she walked to the other side of the bed, grabbing her shirt."What?" Lucas asked, staring at her as if he didn't hear what she had just said."I said you're cool, surprisingly. How can you act so okay with not being the only child? I wouldn't be able to handle it. Someone like Kate being my sister?"He laughed and shook his head."Nahh, I don't mind. She is just someone I see as my kid sister. How is she by the way? Is she living well?"Grace frowned at him with her hands on her hip and sat on the bed next to him."What's this
Chapter 22"What?" One of them asked.Kate immediately kept a blank face and shook her head."Oh, it's nothing. Just.. got a little something stuck in my throat," she said and coughed softly.They nodded their heads and ignored her , turning back to continue their conversation.As she continued practicing, Kate thought about what the girls said about Seth and smiled again.He gave her a smile but didn't give them the smiles he gave her. She thought back to when he smiled at her in his bedroom.His eye wrinkles deepened when he smiles, his soft gaze in his eyes as he stares at her and the way he talks to her, everything just made her feel butterflies in her stomach and she let out a soft sigh wishing he was here with her in the practice room.His shirt was Still with her and she has no plans of giving it back to him because she knows she loves it.The memory of how he gave her the shirt came into her head and she smiled again. The girls in her practice room think he's cold and not cool
Chapter 21The alarm sound woke Kate up and she stared blankly at the wall for some minutes, trying to clear her head and fight the sleep away.Finally, she stood up and strode grudgingly towards the bathroom, her eyes caught sight of the calendar beside the bathroom door and suddenly her mood was instantly changed.It was the final day of her period which means that she gets to do whatever she wants to do and even have fun as much as she wants to without getting scared that she might stain or not.She hurried into the bathroom and took a quick shower, her mind already going to the dance studio and how much fun she was going to have, especially if she sees Seth.Her shower took less than fifteen minutes and she walked out of the bathroom, humming to the theme music of the movie she saw the night before.As she applied her face cream on her face, she thought about how she managed to come back home from Seth's place the other day.A part of her felt disappointed that it wasn't today tha
Chapter 20As the taxi slowed down to the address Kate gave him, she felt the usual thrill mixed with slight fear come over her. This was how she usually feels whenever she visits Seth.The taxi stopped and the driver stared at her from the rear view mirror, a look of concern written all over his face."Huh.. is this the right place? If it's not, I can take you back so you can get the right address."Kate glanced up at him and her face drew into a small smile that felt forced as she stared at him."It's the right address." She managed to utter.The driver stared at her for some time before nodding his head silently and clearing his throat."Well, I'll be here for about thirty seconds so if you change your mind, you can still see me."She laughed and paid him before getting out of the car.Her hand was the only clue that she was nervous as she tried so hard to hide what she was feeling.Despite her disguise and everything, even the driver could tell that she wasn't meant to be in a pla
Chapter 19Kate stopped herself from yelling at her mother and screaming that can't she be in control of her own life.Shs should have known that something like this was coming up as her mother mentioned Liam.Who does her mother think she is? Does she think that her daughter is a commodity that she can be advertising from one friend to the other."Mom, I can't. I can't meet with anyone.""Why not? You also need to be sure of your future. Just because Liam is now paying you attention doesn't mean that you shouldn't meet up with other guys. I'm your mother and I really want to see you successful.""I know, mom, I know. But I really want to focus on my studies, at least for now.""What studies? The ones you attend or the ones you don't attend? What about your dance practices? Do you even do that anymore? I'm trying to think of the right place for you but you keep getting on my nerves."Kate felt so frustrated and grabbed the corner of her sheets to stop herself from getting mad at her m
Startled, Kate lifted her head up to see Grace staring at both of them with suspicious looking eyes and she almost burst into laughter.It was clear that Grace was jealous, even when she tried so hard to hide what she was feeling.She walked in, a forced smile creeping on her face."What were you guys discussing? The laughter was so loud that I couldn't even sleep for a while."Even as her tone was soft and friendly, it was still so obvious that she was jealous."Oh that .. it was nothing," Liam said, laughing nervously.It was clear that he also saw how annoyed and jealous Grace was.But Kate couldn't miss such an opportunity to mess with Grace and she immediately spoke up."Liam's right. It's just a little thing we did when we were young. Kids.. you know. We were just curious about a lot of things and did some things," She laughed."Things like what?" Jealous eyes darted from her to Liam."Well, like kissing and other stuff. We kissed when we were younger and I was telling him about
"Kate? Are you there?" He asked again and she quickly wiped off her tears, sniffling loudly.After Kate was sure that she didn't look like she had been crying her eyes out, She opened the door and with a straight face was about to walk past him."Kate.." he called softly, holding on to her hands and stopping her.Unable to take it anymore, Kate turned her face away, embarrassed that Seth had to find her in a state like this."It's okay.." He whispered and pulled her into a hug, his hands holding her around her waist while she held him tightly.For some reason, she felt safe in his arms, she felt comforted, it was almost as if all her problems would get cancelled out once she was with him.. that kind of feeling.After sobbing for some time into his shirt, she sniffed loudly and pulled away from the hug, grateful that he comforted her without a word."Thank you," She managed to utter and walked away without looking back or even waiting for a response from him.As soon as she left Seth,
Kate rolled her eyes at her mother's question. She knew that she shouldn't have bothered telling her mother anything like that because the knife would definitely be twisted to face her, typical of her mother."Mom.." She groaned, annoyed at herself."Did you drink at this party? Who were you with? I hope you didn't make a disgrace out of yourself. Why would you attend a party instead of focusing on your studies and practicing your ballet? I'm pretty sure you've gotten weaker on your steps."Each statement was like a sharp knife stabbing Kate with every single breath that her mother takes.It was almost as if her statement about Lucas was irrelevant to her And she kept on being focused on the fact that Kate went to a party, that her naive daughter rebelled against her."I am not weaker on my steps, mom," She replied curtly, "Mom, I am not talking about the party! And besides I went with Liam to the party."Her voice was sharp and irritated but she didn't raise her voice, even as much a
Surprised, Kate looked around, wondering why the entire class was staring at her. Her lecturer cleared his throat loudly and she turned to see that he was also staring at her."He's asking you a question," Grace whispered to her nudging her shoulder.Kate looked back to the man, blinking rapidly and feeling the flush come up her face It was so embarrassing, she had always hated being asked questions or having the entire class attention and today was so bad."Hu...uhmm, I uh..." She stammered."You were not listening right? Not only did you come late to my class but you also choose to live in your head while I teach, right? What do you think you are? A princess?" He scolded her, his voice sounding harsh and blunt.The voice pierced Kate's heart and she suddenly felt like crying as she stared around the class, hearing the sound of laughter from the rest."Oh no sir, she isn't a princess. She has not slept for some nights that's why," Grace said immediately, laughing.The class laughed
