It Started With A Kiss Chapter 19: Can you put your shirt back on?
Larissa's viewpointI stared at Zayne, trying to stop myself from smiling. He had a thoughtful expression on his face. I could see the wheel in his head turning. He was trying to figure out if what I said was true. I knew he'd figure it out quickly.I didn't know how to speak German. I wasn't like Odette who—surprisingly—is good at learning different languages. The only language I could speak aside from English was Indonesian, and that is because my mother was originally Indonesian/Korean, but was born in Boston. She was fluent in both languages and tried to teach me, but I could only ever learn Indonesian. I was able to understand Korean but when I tried to speak it, I made a mess. I wasn't linguistic like Tristan or Odette.The corner of Zayne's lips tilted upward. He spread his hand out and came closer for a hug. Oh, come to Mama, baby!I happily welcomed his hug. "You're lying. You can't speak German,""Busted," I laughed."I'm sleepy," he complained. I looked at Lavender over his

Larissa's viewpointA mental smirk appeared in my mind. I unzipped my bomber jacket and peeled it off my body. I still had my ringed hem tube top, but it was more than enough. I knew he didn't find me attractive, but it made me feel comfortable enough to spend the next few hours with him. He'll probably get better and never come close to me again, but it would be worth it."Alright, scooch over," I said, innocently biting on my bottom lip. He had a rather calm smile on his face, almost like what I expected of him. I mean, what was I expecting? That he would give my body a once-over? Fat chance.I rested my back on the headboard, but before I could usher him to rest his head on my thighs, he already did. I took in a sharp breath, holding it in as he settled his hands around my waist and his head far too close to my inner thighs. "Comfortable?" I squeaked, clearing my throat at the end."Yes, thank you. Now, shh." I silently ran the tip of my fingers into his hair, cautiously, as if one

Larissa's viewpointI stretched on the tip of my toes as I walked into the living room, yawning loudly with my body slightly bent backward. Immediately I shut the door, I was tackled against it, my back slamming on the door with a little squeak leaving my lips. The cold hands around my waist already told me who it was. I groaned, looking down at him with a bit of surprise on my face. Tristan had his face buried between my breasts, whimpering words into it and squeezing the life out of me.I placed my hands on his arms, pushing them a little to loosen his hold on me. "Tristan, is everything alright?" He shook his head, tickling me by the movement of his head in my breasts. "Do you want to talk about it?" He pushed his face back a little, his chin carefully placed on my breasts. His eyes were wet with tears and sadness."I'm sorry," he whined, "I was so busy staring at the TV to notice how sad you were. I let you down, I'm such a horrible person," Okay, so, he was in little sister mode.

Larissa's viewpointI jogged back into the clean living room. I walked up to the sofa and flopped down next to Starliss who had a bowl of chicken nuggets on her lap. Without waiting for permission, I picked one nugget out with my index and middle fingers. "So, what exactly are you guys doing here? Not that you don't usually come here but—""Save it, Risa. You are all going to help me with my party. I need great ideas, people!""Easy, Neo, we've got you," Starliss laughed with a mouth full of chicken nuggets. I popped the chicken into my mouth, staring at him to begin the meeting with his suggestions."Well, I was considering throwing the party I did last semester—""Neo, that's lame. You can't throw the same wild party, that sucks," I protested."And you remember what happened last time? We can't throw that kind of dangerous party ever again, or we are grounded for life. Let's think of something less deadly, loud and—""Bah! What's a few dead bodies for a little fun," Odette chimed in
Last Updated : 2023-12-13It Started With A Kiss Chapter 23: Party Planning (2)
Larissa's viewpointStarliss' older brother, Javelin—yes, that's his name—had liked Odette. He is a singer. His band had been together since they were sixteen, more of a local band, until last year they had their big breakthrough, and their song became a huge hit. Since then, they have been in the spotlight, dwelling in a fast-growing fame that seems to amaze me.Javelin developed a huge, helplessly strong crush on Odette when she turned thirteen. Somehow, she just appeared appealing to him, and he developed a crush that transformed into like, and now, love. His entire family knew he was crazy for her, which is amusing because hey, she's Odette! How does one fall for Odette? How is it even possible to be in love with her?Well, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Take Zayne for example. Well, Odette didn't share the same idea of a relationship with him, even if she honestly felt similar for him. She was still in self-denial, serious denial. Unaware that the reason she likes older g
Last Updated : 2023-12-13It Started With A Kiss Chapter 24: I'm your boyfriend
Zayne's viewpointThe bubbling feeling of anticipation, excitement, and nervousness was throwing me into a tizzy. I anticipated the way the day would turn out, and how she would react to the stupid thing I planned to do. I honestly had no idea how I would pull it off, but that's what made the anticipation so intense.I was excited to see her reaction, excited because I was doing something I'd never done or planned to do before. It was exciting to do something new and unexpected, to not know how it would turn out. Although I did know that she would end up accepting like mother said, hopefully. I was just excited about the new act.Excited as I may, I was nervous. I might make a complete fool out of myself. The situation was worth nervousness. The nervousness was the reason I stood in front of my mirror, still undecided about my hair and outfit. Zyaire commanded me to look as sinful as possible. But how does one look more sinful than usual? I've always thought my dress style was okay. W
Last Updated : 2023-12-14It Started With A Kiss Chapter 25: Is this real?
Larissa's viewpointI stared out of the window in class, trying to think about not thinking. How is that even possible when one of the hottest guys in the school literally slammed me to my locker and kissed me senseless? It didn't make any sense and felt like a stupid dream but it wasn't. Zayne Verlice kissed me. Like he really kissed me. I was still in serious shock. I tried my best to play it cool, but how do you play that kind of thing cool? The love of my life came up to me and kissed me, hard. Let's not forget how he said he still has feelings for me.We need to talk.I didn't comment when the teacher asked me a question, I wasn't in the mood for any question and answer, not until I've spoken to Zayne and confirmed if he's okay or still sick. You don't just walk up to someone and kiss them senseless, even if you have a history with them. Or can you? I think he knew he could because he's Zayne. Did he figure it out? Did he figure out my feelings for him? Is that why he kissed me?
Last Updated : 2023-12-15It Started With A Kiss Chapter 26: Are we really dating?
Larissa's viewpointIt was awfully quiet and peaceful out at the back of the school. Zayne took me to the back of the school after stopping by the clinic to get a first aid box. I didn't need it so after begging him for a couple of minutes, he took an olive oil instead. He dragged me out to the back, lowered me to a chair, and sat down too.I felt as bad as I felt good. Bad because he saw me at one of my worst. I didn't like anyone seeing that horrible side of me, one of the reasons I act so abnormally insane. It was like a defense mechanism against my dark side. I didn't like people seeing me as a complete lunatic, I didn't like the memories it brought.I remembered the time I did get lost and joined a gang, hoping that it would be some kind of help to control my violent urge. It did help, I got to see life from another angle and learned how to defend myself better. But, I almost did lose myself but didn't. It was all thanks to my friends who pulled me out and Starliss' parents got m

It Started With A Kiss Epilogue
Today marks a year and seven months since Larissa went into a coma. The project to fasten her healing remains a failure. There has been no positive result since. So far, the doctors still deem her survival impossible and the medicine to help the impossible become possible is nothing but a failure. The agreed number of experiments I can carry out is getting close. I promised my parents that after the number is three hundred, I will not carry out any more experiments. Even if they are condemned criminals, even if they throw away gangsters from the assassin association and mafia, they are still humans. Or so Mom said. Almost two years isn't enough to heal the wound in my heart, or anyone who truly loved her. I miss her. I miss everything about her. The world has no colors without her. I caught him, the bastard who made this happen. It's a shame he died from the third experiment. I would have loved to put him to more use. Larissa's parents welcomed a new baby last
It Started With A Kiss Chapter 114: pull yourself together
Zayne's viewpointI tapped my foot on the floor, my hands clasped and pressed to my lips. I silently prayed with my eyes closed for a good result since we didn't have the time or anyone to test it out. It wasn't something dangerous, that we were sure of but anything could happen. It'd been almost nine hours since the operation began. There had been no news from Dad or the doctors. We weren't allowed in there.Savia huffed for the umpteenth time. She had been pacing for four hours without a break. Neither of us could sleep. Serenity slept off thrice and woke up with a scream. She had nightmares. Zyaire slept off along the way, but unlike Serenity, he did not wake or shake, he cried in his sleep. None of us could be bothered to soothe each other's pain."Argh!!!" Savia screamed, ruffling her hair and shaking her head wildly. "This is driving me crazy!""Relax, Savvy," Aunt Rylee said softly. She accompanied us to the hospital along with her husband, Uncle Phineas. We kept Mom's conditio
It Started With A Kiss Chapter 113: reckless decisions (2)
Larissa's viewpointI looked around the house, walking in slowly while Neo went in to get something. It was strange. He told me it was an apartment and his Grandpa was sending him away but for someone who was leaving, they put a great effort into the interior design of the house. Note that I said house, not apartment. It was undoubtedly a beautiful home. The taupe gray, silver, and cream theme with a bit of brown was lovely, along with the furniture and the styling."I'm back," he announced, drawing my attention to him. He walked to the cream camel back sofa with a bottle of Beaufort a Ambonnay Grand Cru Doux Rose, two white wine glasses, a big plate of Swedish meatballs, and dark chocolate almond barks. He dropped the tray on the table and sat down."Shouldn't you be using champagne glasses for those?" I joined him."I broke them," I picked the bottle first. It was one of my favorite wines. "So how are you doing? Since you got out,""Not good. My grandparents are shipping me off to I
It Started With A Kiss Chapter 112: reckless decisions
Larissa's viewpointI stood at the airport, listening to my Dad nag about how he'd like to return home and meet his house the same way he left it. It was the day after the wedding. My Dad and Mikayla were officially married. Zayne got me the VIP pass to the hotel I asked him to. I still couldn't shake off the grin on my face from the way my parents reacted. Though it was a gift Zayne spent effort on, it was still from me. Dad made sure to rub that on my face but Mikayla was sincerely grateful. I wish I could exclude him from the honeymoon."And you cannot throw or attend any party in our absence. Odette and Tristan, if I find out you broke anything in another argument again, I'll destroy your souls, use your flesh to make leather, and wear them as boots—""Dad, that's not—""Boots!" He snarled, daring us to correct him again. "Larissa, I promise you, I will hunt you to the end of the earth even in death if you dare redecorate my house," he growled, glaring daggers at me. I gasped. How
It Started With A Kiss Chapter 111: you'll survive
Larissa's viewpoint"Are you hurt?" The expected question. He needed to stop worrying about me. It was sweet of him but also unnecessary. I wasn't like before. If it hurt, I'd let him know."I'm fine, don't worry,""I’m still going to… fuck me," he groaned when my walls clenched hard around him. He fell over, using his hands to hold up his weight from compressing me. "Damn. I'm going to go a little stronger than before. Please don't hesitate to–""Tell you if it hurts or if I can't handle it, yes, I know. Can you move now?""Remember to—""For goodness's sake, I will," I laughed, a bit impatient and lust showing in my tone. "I promise I won't foolishly take more than I can handle so please continue or I'll flip us over and fuck you myself. You know, that was the plan when I wore this underwear. The plan was to tie you up and have my way with you," Zayne chuckled and put strength in his arms, holding back his desire (as always) to destroy my insides recklessly, and the result of that w
It Started With A Kiss Chapter 110: this isn't good for my heart
Larissa's viewpoint"I've arrived!" I shouted, kicking Zayne's bedroom door open. He spun the giant white ball chair around, revealing the red interior. He looked at me flatly and I grinned in response. "Zaddy, I'm home!" I shrieked again. Of course, we were at his private house. We agreed to meet there, but he didn't have the large chair the last time I came."That door is worth someone's yearly salary, be careful with it," I nodded, swinging the bags in my hands happily. "You're wearing a coat," he stated."For dramatic reveal," I replied, dropping the bags on the glass table. "And no, I'm not bothered by what my mother said to me. If anything, I feel sorry for myself," he stretched his hands out, gesturing for me to come closer. I planned to go over to him anyway. "I feel pity and disappointment for myself. I allowed the fear of what I might be like if I became anything like her to torment me for years. I feared becoming like her the most but seeing her right now, I'm forced to won
It Started With A Kiss Chapter 109: Henrietta
Larissa's viewpointI exhaled through my nostrils, rubbing my throbbing forehead. My body felt heavy and in desperate need of a massage or to shut down for three straight days. It's been two weeks since Zayne left school. We barely saw each other. I couldn't be selfish and bother him with my fantasies and loneliness, so I focused on work and my parents' wedding. A lot of things were going on. I'll start from the beginning.I felt bad about what I said to Neo and wanted to make amends but I never got the chance to. Proof of illegal dealings was found in his father's office. I was greatly appalled when the truth behind their success was exposed. Neo's father owned a secret organization for prostitution and slavery. People were illegally smuggled into the country by will or by force and worked as sex workers. There was also a section for children for sick bastards who couldn't enjoy normal sexual relationships with adults. There were a lot of other illegal sexual activity, including rape
It Started With A Kiss Chapter 108: you can try lifting their spirits
Larissa's viewpointI nervously walked into the house and the moment I did, I felt the dark and gloomy energy inside the house. The energy made a chill run down my spine, making me hug my body tightly. I looked around the house and just then, Zyaire walked into the living room, scratching the scruff of his neck as he yawned. The first thing I noticed was that his hair was a mess and his eyes were red and swollen. Zyaire had been crying."Zyaire," he halted, then slowly raised his eyes to look at me. His eyes looked lifeless. "Hi," I greeted. He looked at me coldly, then quietly continued walking."Zayne won't be able to see you now, he's busy. You can wait in his room or wait here if you wish,""What is he doing?" I asked, walking over to join him on the couch. "He sounded very miserable on the phone– your Mom, how is she?""She's alive for now,"I smacked his shoulder scoldingly. "Don't say it like that. You'll make me nervous,"He chuckled. At least I managed to pull that from him.
It Started With A Kiss Chapter 107: wanna help me get rid of him?
Starliss' viewpointIf I already didn't have a goal for my future, I would have considered becoming an actress. Masking my emotions, and pretending to be someone that I am not is a huge part of me and I'm greatly skilled at it. I'm not blowing my own horns here, I am proudly stating facts.I watched as Larissa's eyes darkened involuntarily. She was incredibly softhearted when it came to Neo but she was merciless if anyone touched Odette. Anyone being able to hurt Odette and Tristan was the height of her rage. She might not always react with anger, but she always makes the right decision when they are hurt in any way. The moment I saw the dark expression on her face, I couldn't fight back the smile I knew she wouldn't notice.Larissa turned around and walked out. I followed her quietly but stopped at the door, making sure to hide myself but look between the cracks. She knocked on the window of Neo's sports car and tapped her foot impatiently. It was something she did unconsciously when
