Kiss Me, Wild One •53•What The Hell?!
Eva was tired. Tired of her mother moving around mechanically like a mannequin endowed with the mechanical energy. Tired of her friends pretending not to be happy in their personal lives just so she wouldn't feel bad about herself.Her mother had never been talkative around the table, but at least there'd been something before. Now all she ever did was eat half her food and get up with the excuse that she was full. Her change in attitude had begun to show at work, and so now Eva handled most of the things she'd always so loved to do by herself.The sadness in her eyes was always such a mood killer.As for Adam, he'd moved to live with his father for the time the man had left, and they barely spoke. Eva missed him so much that sometimes she felt bad for being so selfish.Adam was going through a lot, and she had to be the supportive girlfriend.She didn't support the choices her mother had made in her youth, but every day Eva saw the guilt in her eyes, watched the regret eating her wh
Kiss Me, Wild One •54•He Didn't Tell You, Did He?
“Seriously, Adam. Are you planning on drinking yourself to death?” Lucas said in a frustrated voice. Adam ignored him. “Give me the damn bottle.”Adam had raised his bottle of tequila to his lips to take a swig when Lucas whisked it from his grasp, causing some of the brew to spill on his shirt.“What the hell, man? Give it back.” Adam said and tried to lurch for his bottle with a body that felt like a dead weight as Lucas held it far away from him. “You won't? Fine.”He looked towards the bar and screamed at the woman at the counter, “Hey girl, get me another bottle, will ya? See this party pooper won't let me have fun.”“You're thinking of fun right now?” Lucas groaned in disbelief. “After how much you've hurt Eva you should be on your knees in front of her asking for forgiveness. I thought she meant very much to you.”Adam barked out a laughter that even to his inebriated ears came out like a goat's cry. “Me? Kneel in front of a woman
Kiss Me, Wild One •55•Enough Is Enough
“When she does it, I swear it makes me want to cry.” Victoria whined.“Cry?” June snorted. “I swear it makes me want to grab her tablet and smash it against the wall.”They thought she couldn't hear them going on and on about how frustrating she was being, but Eva did perfectly. Easy for them to say. After all, they weren't the ones whose love had left and hadn't even bothered to contact them.After Ethan had told her over the phone that Adam had left LA, she'd assumed that he'd gone to his cabin in Jackson Hole since he'd once mentioned that he went there to find solace whenever his life got shitty.She'd been woefully wrong. After sitting in the hammock on his porch for about twelve hours with all her calls going straight to voicemail, Eva had finally left, booking a hotel to sleep in before taking the next flight to LA the next day.Still, she'd told herself that Adam had been going through a lot, that he just needed some time to sort his emotions out and to grieve his father. She
Kiss Me, Wild One •56•Hope It's Not Too Late
Before Eva could decipher what June was talking about, her phone had been whipped out of her hand. She shot to her feet to get it back only for Victoria to block her path and hold her in place.“June, I swear that if you do something stupid, I'm going to kill you!” Eva warned.June handed her phone back to her just then. Eva looked done at it and was sure she blanched. “No June you didn't.” She threw a glare at June over Vicky's shoulder. “'I'd love to go out with you?' Seriously?”“Come on, it's not that bad.” Vicky finally let go of Eva's arms. “Eva I think you should give Xander a chance. Who knows what might happen?”Sighing, Eva slumped back onto her bed. How could she explain to her friends that she loved Adam in a way no man could ever make her love him?But Adam doesn't care about you! He has moved on! Her subconsciousness screamed.“So?” it was June who spoke.Eva scanned her friends' faces, taking in the hope that shone so brightly, and she nodded. “Yes, I'll go out with him
Kiss Me, Wild One •57•Xander
Eva gritted her teeth in annoyance, wishing the earth would swallow her up as Vicky applied some blush to her cheeks. Done, the woman leaned back to assess her handiwork.“Wow, my God, and I thought I was already used to your beauty.” June sighed dramatically, standing behind Eva's chair. Eva rolled her eyes.After June had sent that text to Xander, the man hadn't wasted time dialing her number. He'd been so excited that she'd decided not to tell him that June was the one who had sent the text, and they'd arranged their date for this afternoon.Vicky had wanted to doll her up like it was her freaking wedding. Eva protested for no make up, but her friends had bargained for a light make-up instead.Vicky shifted from Eva's front so she could look at herself in the mirror. Eva had to admit that she looked stunning. Wearing the strapless pink chiffon straight dress that ended above her knee which her best friends had purposefully selected for her with her hair styled to look wavy and a sma
Kiss Me, Wild One •58•You Lied?
The large HOLLYWOOD appeared atop a spot which overlooked an endless stretch of mountain tops and shops and houses. Xander stepped over the fence which led to the words, then helped her so that she didn't roll down the hills.They stepped under the large D of the HOLLYWOOD. Even though she'd seen this before, Eva couldn't help but marvel at the vista being there offered. It made them appear like gods, and she couldn't believe they'd been driving along the bustle of the sidewalks down there about an hour ago.He pulled out their bowls of ice cream after they'd sat down, handing her one. It was accompanied by a wooden spoon. As Eva tore off the lid and took the first spoonful of the sweetness, memories she didn't want to remember fanned through her mind.Memories which had once been so beautiful but now only filled her with pain every time she thought of them. Luckily, Xander didn't seem to notice anything.Over their ice creams, the man regaled her with his endless amount of jokes, th
Kiss Me, Wild One •59•You're Not Needed Here
Adam watched the look on Eva's face transform from shock to awe then to denial, his heart hammering against his chest. God, she looked more beautiful than ever, and he'd missed her so bad.“Adam.” His name tumbled from her lips breathlessly. Before, it would've made him burn with molten desire, but today, all it did was prick him with guilt.“Wait!” The man she'd been kissing earlier said, eyes widening as he looked at Eva. “That's Adam? As in Adam Garcia?”“The one and only.” Adam stepped forward, figuring Eva had told him about them. “And it's not a pleasure to meet you.”“You're the stupid idiot who broke Eva's heart?”Adam gritted his teeth, any comeback he would've had dying right in his mouth because he knew the guy was so damn right. Only a stupid idiot would judge a woman like Eva so quickly.Ignoring him, Adam focused his gaze on the woman he was after, finding her eyes still transfixed on him like she couldn't believe he was standing there. “Eva...”She seemed to snap right
Kiss Me, Wild One •60•Pyromaniac
Adam entered the Bar where he and his friends loved to come to discuss stuff over alcohol. Most of the time it was quiet, but occasionally there was a band playing some music. Today was one of the latter days. A band of four people were on the makeshift stage playing some jazz music.It was just his luck that they were playing his father's favourite song. Adam grimaced. It was these little things that made him miss his father so much.He spotted Raul and Ethan at their usual table and went to join them. “Yo, guys.” He said, fist bumping with each one of them before slumping into one of the free two chairs available.“Where's Alfredo?” He asked, frowning.“Sorry dude,” Ethan shook his head regretfully. “I don't think he's coming.”“He's still angry with me.” Adam said in exasperation.“More like pissed off.” Raul corrected. “He never received the proper apology he wanted, forgotten?”Adam had to groan. Among all the people he'd reconnected with a month ago, Alfredo was the only one who

Kiss Me, Wild One •70•Fireworks(The End)
Funny how life worked. A year ago, on this very day, Adam had been pissed after Lucas had forced him to tag along to this same masquerade party with him. Now, the rush of emotions he was feeling as he arrived at the venue was on a whole different level; nervousness, anticipation, joy.He was finally going to reignite his relationship with Eva. Or perhaps they were going to start afresh, whatever floated her boat, he thought with a private smile as he slipped his mask on and made his way through the masked people.He'd intentionally worn the same blue suit he'd worn last year accompanied by the same Batman mask. Hopefully, that would help to speed up the process. God, he couldn't wait to be alone with her tonight.Adam scanned the people around who were mingling amidst the tune of the piano playing softly from mystery places. Apparently, Rebecca had decided to change the category of the guests to cut across several people and not just business acquaintances.He spotted Eva before she s
Kiss Me, Wild One •69•Want To Start Afresh
“Me?” Rebecca audibly gasped, obviously having not expected that. Adam nodded, and Rebecca swallowed before finally nodding back. “Let's go inside my office?”Adam signalled for her to take the lead. As he followed, he noticed her secretary giving him a comehither look, obviously wanting to catch his attention.“Merry Christmas.” She whispered, voice sultry.Adam offered her a polite smile just so she wouldn't feel bad and went into Rebecca's office. The place was spacious with a large floor to ceiling window, a couch, an exquisite desk and an equally plush swivel chair. On her desk, she had stacks of files arranged neatly, a computer and then some photoframes that were facing away from him.Rebecca was standing by a drawer in the corner of the room, pouring herself a glass of water, like she thought she was going to need it for this encounter. Done, she set the half empty crystal down before turning to look at him.For an instance, Adam saw something like joy sweep across her feature
Kiss Me, Wild One •68•I Came To See You
It'd been four days. Four freaking days since Eva had issued Adam the ultimatum before leaving for her plane; if he wanted their relationship to return to the blissful period in which it'd once been, he had to at least speak with Rebecca.Even though he'd driven back to LA from Jackson Hole yesterday, he hadn't contacted Eva. She'd called him a few times a day after her flight to LA but Adam hadn't dared to pick up, too filled with shame because he couldn't fulfill her wish even for the sake of their relationship. And angry that she was practically forcing him to do something he didn't want to.Frankly, the thought of seeing Rebecca after so many months filled him with uncertainty and a whole other stream of confusing emotions. He didn't experience the hatred that thinking of her once had made him feel but he guessed he could attribute it to the months of never having seen her.He didn't know how he would react if she was in front of him now.Sighing, Adam returned his gaze from the
Kiss Me, Wild One •67•Loose Woman
As large as the hall was, everything turned silent. Eva scanned their shocked expressions, and nearly flinched when June suddenly stepped forward."What? What do you mean you were with Adam?"Eva swallowed at the bite in her tone. "Uh, he kinda kidnapped me?" She cringed a moment later, realizing how ridiculous that sounded. She wasn't sure there was a better word."I knew it. That bastard!" Xander's voice was filled with unfettered antagonism. "Did he hurt you? I'm gonna beat the shit out of that guy."Xander seemed just about ready to storm out, and Eva placed her hand on his shoulders, hoping to calm him."Xander, he only wanted us to talk.""He only wanted you to talk?" Xander looked at her as if stupefied by her defending Adam. "He took you against your will. That's still kidnapping!""What about the texts you sent all of us? Was that Adam? Did he take your from phone you?" Vicky asked, anger in her voice."No, I sent them myself." She clarified."So why the heck didn't you pick
Kiss Me, Wild One •66•Conditions
“This shouldn't have happened.”Adam fluttered his eyes open to find Eva sitting on the edge the couch turned bed, hands stroking her upper arms distractedly.He took in a deep breath. This was exactly what he'd feared; her regrets, even as they'd loved each other many more times throughout the night. That hadn't stopped him from hoping though.Yesterday morning, she'd forced him to book a midday flight which would be today for her. He'd hoped that he would have the whole morning to be with her, to actually convince her to let them to be together. Heck he'd hoped that she would tell him to cancel the flight just so they could spend more time alone at the cabin.He sat up slowly, noticing the daylight peaking through the blinds. No doubt they'd slept into the morning after all the energy they'd exerted last night. The fire in the fireplace had long burned out, and the cabin was now filled with just a bit of cold.“Don't tell me you didn't enjoy all the things we did last night because y
Kiss Me, Wild One •65•Regret Can Come Later
Eva couldn't feel herself breathe, couldn't hear herself breathe. All she felt was the tumultuous pumping of her heart and it's consequent thunderous rushing in her head.Eva West, I'm in love with you.Words she'd only ever dreamed of falling from his lips. Just like that, all her guarder walls crumbled; they couldn't stand in the face of his disarming confession.God, she loved him too, had missed him like fuck, and wanted the same things that he did. She couldn't hold back anymore. Heck, she didn't want to hold back anymore. At least not for tonight.Tonight she wanted to let herself go, to reexperience the blissful feeling of being in Adam's arms. She wanted to let go of her fears, her fears that he would walk out any time when she let herself go with her emotions. She wanted to throw them all under the bus.Before any thought could come and hinder the execution of her next move, Eva had already lunged for Adam, wrapped her arm around his neck and smashed her lips to his.Her kiss
Kiss Me, Wild One •64•Melting Her
This was going to be harder than he assumed, Adam thought as Eva shrunk away from his touch when he attempted to help her put her skis on.The weather was as cold as fuck, but when he'd asked Eva what she wanted to do, she'd after some long hesitation and impatience said she wanted him to take her to the skiing site. That was why they here in extremely stuffed clothing, the blades of the helicopter whirling and rumbling above them.Eva put on her googles, and without even waiting for him to put his own equipment on, she veered down the snow with an excited yell, ski poles in hand. She'd picked up a lot from the last time they'd come here and he'd tutored her on how to ski. Quickly putting on the last ski, Adam grabbed his sticks from the ground and navigated his way down. He gazed around, lost in the view of the snow-shelthered mountains that seemed to stretch on forever.He focused back on Eva while he was catching up. She suddenly executed a perfect brake with her skiis. Adam was m
Kiss Me, Wild One •63•Merry Christmas
After several near wakes with sleep plucking her right into its depths each time, Eva finally forced herself to really wake up. Her first thought was that she was lying in the backseat of a moving car.When did she go from enjoying herself at June's party to being kidnapped?She shot up her torso to sit down, noticing the driver who was wearing a Santa outfit and a Santa cap, but she couldn't see his face.“Who are you? Where are you taking me?” She spat frantically, panic ensuing. “Listen, just tell me what you want and I'll arrange it to be given to you myself. No need for the ransom calls and all.”Her brows furrowed when the person behind the wheel chuckled because the sound was too damn familiar. Her heart leapt when he tilted to look at her. “Believe me love, what I want has nothing to do with money.” A sexy smirk accompanied the sexy drawl in his voice.It was Adam, looking so comical with the fake white beard on his chin that she could've found it amusing.Could have, because
