“Why didn’t your roommate came last night?” I turned to Stacy and smiled at the fact she was also massaging her forehead at this moment.
“I guess, she was just shy. She excused herself with stomach pain. Poor Olive.” My friend responded and diverted her attention to our teacher.
I nodded, despite the fact that she would not see it. The spot on my right was empty as Anna was at her internship today. A thought entertained my mind.
“Stacy, do you have any idea why Anna would come to study English literature if she is so much into fashion?” I raised my eyebrows.
She gave me a puzzled look, speechless. I lifted my shoulders, and it was the end of our conversation, as Stacy was too involved with our lesson.
If Jason thought that he can order me around, investigate when my classes are, force himself in my life - then I could do stuff to spite him. A devilish expression took over my face when I looked towards my friends. “Stacy, do you think we can invite more people to the mansion? I feel like we can make this bigger than intended. Maybe your roommate Olive would join us?” I smirked. “Well, I can ask… I can’t promise that she would agree, tho…” Stacy pursed her bottom lip in thought. “I will let you know how it went.” “Great!” I clapped my hands. “The more, the better. The rich hottie can manage a bigger number of guests. Anna, do you have someone to add to the party?” “How many do you have in mind?” She picked up on my troublemaker mood.
We did not walk hand in hand, but he gave me a semi-hug, gently pushing me to walk by placing his hand in the middle of my back. When we reached the busy road, he raised his thumb and got us a taxi almost instantly. I was standing silently next to him like a scared rabbit until we entered the car. He held the door open for me in a chivalry way, then went around the taxi to sit next to me on the back seat. I gave a fake address, not too far from my real home, and the ride began. “Thank you for all this. Really,” I turned to look at his ice-cold eyes, and left mine lingering for a little too long. “It’s nothing. I see that you could use some company and a friendly hand,” Mark pointed, but I ignored his ‘friend’ remark as my plans were pretty different. “Gosh, I f
“What is it?” Stacy asked the question that popped into my head.“Well, I am so sorry…” He bent his head down just when Anna approached us, but we all ignored her, wondering what Jason was going to tell. “... I am so sorry, but we need to fly!” His wide smile illuminated the whole cafeteria, and I punched his shoulder again.“You fucking joker!” I sighed to release the pressure, but I smiled. “I thought that something bad happened.”“Yeah, with your brother,” Anna’s voice made our heads turn, and embarrassed she added, “Or someone else.”Stacy and I shared a knowing look. Maybe Anna liked William a little more than she would admit.
I really wanted to sleep with Mark. Partly because I wanted to prove to myself that Jason couldn’t influence me greatly. I forced my mind to stop thinking about the rich prick, and my hands moved to cup Mark’s face, pressing his lips to mine in a deep kiss.I had an inner war to stay in the present, to enjoy the moment, trying to push Jason in the back of my head. I found Mark’s right hand and placed it on my bare skin above my knee. My sudden action ignited a lustful fire in both of us, making him bolder.“I wanted to do that since I saw your ripped button yesterday,” he breathed heavily between kisses. “I am sorry if I am a bit in a hurry… I just… well, it’s been a while…”Gently, he pushed me to lay on my back and leaned over me, his hand slidin
“Where were you?” He questioned me while raising to stand before me. I played with the fabric of my purse, wondering why should I answer him at all. He tilted his head on one side, waiting. I sighed and rolled my eyes. “Why do you care? I was out. Now I am here. What do you want?” I bit. “What I want? Hmm, that is not the correct way to ask me. It is more like WHO I want,” He smirked at me. I shook my head at him in defeat. I wasn’t going to continue this conversation in the corridor. I unlocked my door and left it open behind me for him to enter the apartment. Glad that nothing bad seemed to be happening, I tossed my purse on the counter and went to plop on my sofa. Jason followed me with the big box and placed it on my
I couldn’t organize my thoughts, lost in his attention, his presence. One more second and my fingers were going to feel up his six-pack. He was so sexy with his unbuttoned shirt, and black really suited the tips of his blonde hair. I blinked a few times in response, but he did not find that suitable for an answer to his question. “Where were you, Amy?” He asked with a demanding tone. “Were you with another guy?” Instantly, he switched my mood again. I felt even more annoyed than before because I was angry at myself. I fell in his trap easily...embracing his touch, his wishes. I had to find a way to be stronger when he was around. “It isn’t your business,” I pulled from his grip and went all the way to my kitchen counter. “I want to make it my business. Wasn’t I clear
When I left my home and climbed into the luxury new car with the rich guy, I never thought I would spend the night in an entirely different place than what he offered me.“I always wanted a white BMW. It’s truly a beast!” Jason exclaimed, tilting his head to his shiny vehicle.“I hope you are not planing to end my life in a car crash today,” I raised my eyebrows at him.“I would never plan to end your life,” he stated, all serious, watching me intently.I nodded and walked around the car to escape his stare, and to calm the butterflies in my stomach. Only his eyes were enough to make my soul dreamy.“Put on your seatbelt...just in case,” he advised me once we were inside t
Jason’s strong hands pulled me up on the gorgeous horse. He enveloped me with his arms while holding the reins, pressing his chest to my back. Snow white moved its muscles under us, making me unsure why I agreed to this. I have never ridden a horse in my life. Suddenly, I was too high and too far away from the stable ground. I gasped, leaning towards the horse’s neck, careful not to move much. “Hold on now,” Jason cheerfully instructed me, and Snow white began to walk. I bit my bottom lip in order to do not show the fear I felt as the white horse picked up speed in no time. We were moving so fast, I began to wonder how am I supposed to stay on the back of this animal if I am jumping uncontrollably. “Just relax, enjoy the view,” the rich man’s voice came behind me.
I gaped at Anna, not sure if I want to scream at her, or hope Jason wasn’t going to be even angrier than before. Maybe he was coming to tell me he was going to sue me for making his name dirty with my lame stories. Another knock on the door made me jump, and I left my warm beverage on the table before I drop it. Stacy and Anna gave me a small smile, both nodding for me to go and open for the rich guy. I sighed and slowly reached the front door of my tiny apartment. My tired, hangover brain couldn’t provide me with the courage to unlock and face the guy I loved. I turned to my friends with a tortured expression. “You can’t know everyone and can’t trust everyone, but sometimes you have to take a leap. Just because you are hoping for the better and are willing to pay the cost if you fail,” Stacy reassured me, and I
I gaped helplessly at him, but reluctantly sat on the sofa across from him. My hands were crossed before me, as it was cold, or someone was going to steal the purse I was pressing to my torso. Noah’s smile returned when I gave him a puzzled look.“To show you how devoted I am to the blog you plan to stop, I will let you go for now,” he stated, making me relieved and mad at the same time. “But you will have only...let’s say to the end of the week. If you do not come to the flower shop with the money by then, be sure on Monday I will be at the Police with a reporter by my side. I know such a piece of juicy news might be worth something too. See how generous I am? I am coming first to you, not media.”I shook my head in disbelief. “How much do you want?” I asked through my teeth.
The rest of the day I spend on the sofa, gazing absentmindedly at the comments on my blog. I searched for Jason’s reaction in the unknown people, but there was no way I could know if any was from him. Probably he just read some of it without leaving a review, as there was nothing mean or hateful written.No matter how low I felt, I just needed to be over with my last challenge, with my paid dates, with my secret personality. I went to my wardrobe, picked a flower dress, brushed my hair, and placed my lipstick. I had done a short research on my last challenge and was going to try and win his kiss tonight.His name was Noah Miller. They called him too pure, a romantic who will not kiss without having feelings for the girl. Well, I wasn’t in a mood to do this, but I just wanted to be done with those dates. I loved my fans and I kind of owed them one la
Feeling nauseous, I woke up, but my eyes refused to open. I rolled from left to right, then back. I stayed this way for a few minutes, then my mind was awake enough for me to remember I fell asleep in Jason’s bed.My eyes snapped open to see my so-called boyfriend, holding my mobile. Swallowing the bile in my throat, I greeted him with, “What are you doing to my phone?”Caught off-guard, he stared at me with parted lips. I sat up, letting the expensive silky cover slide from my body, revealing my naked torso. Suddenly shy, I pulled it back and pressed it to my chest with one hand. Then, with the other, I grabbed my mobile from his palm.“What did you see there?” I demanded to know, my blood frozen as I feared he saw my blog.“Do you ha
My heart skipped a beat and my whole body went cold and then hot in a matter of seconds. Swallowing, I grabbed my mobile and my eyes fell on the cream-colored counter.“She is no one,” I said truthfully, knowing such a person does not exist. “A friend showed me this. Nothing important really.”Jason raised his eyebrows at me, hiding his doubt behind his wine mask. It reminded me I had to go and pick one for myself.“Thank you for your hospitality. This place is amazing,” I changed the subject, but the guild from kissing the Chef suffocated me.Without waiting on any response from Jason, I took the drinks for me and Anna, and hastily left the room, escaping on the terrace.“Here, I bro
Alex’s eyes stared at my mobile, and it took me a while to find an answer. I was failing my challenge. Allura was slipping from my grasp, leaving only the messed-up Amy to inhabit my body. The poor Amy, who had fear of commitment and was now in a relationship with Jason. The same Amy, who suffered through the deaths of all her family, and made a promise to herself she would never love and let another person break her heart. “Um, I was checking something,” I responded as convincing as I could. “There is a kid we share a fence with, he is constantly stealing my cat. I put a nanny to watch over it, and make sure Fluffy will stay at home.” Alex just kept on gaping at me, so I leaned toward him, making the screen of my mobile barely radiating any light. “Never mind, give me those tasty lips of yours. Would you, Chef?”
The Chef and the waiter moved nervously at their place, looking around to check how big of a scene I had managed to cause. Part of me was actually having fun with this play, but another was feeling sorry for them.“No, miss! Kindly, lower your voice. I am sure we can settle this,” Alex pleaded, but his eyes were throwing bolts of lightning my way.“I am not paying for this. My father is a renowned food critic. I will let him know what I encountered here,” I almost yelled, making a wide gesture with my hand to show the whole dining area.This time, Alex came closer to me and I could tell he was still angry when he placed his hand on the white cover, resting his weight on the table. “There is no need to do this. Just let me know what it is that you want...miss.”
I felt a lump stuck in my throat. My wishes were different from my actions. My own rules, my own beliefs, were standing in the way of this relationship. I stayed silent for a moment, with my head bent towards my heels. I shivered, feeling the cold on my skin, as the wind waved my hair in slow motion.“I guess... I am,” I sighed and looked up at him.His warmth and his perfume comforted me when he enveloped me in his arms. The tight hug was short, as he moved just a little to let our lips touch in a playful, passionate kiss. I could sense his positive emotions, but my heart couldn’t enjoy this moment fully. I had to figure this out. If I was going to have a boyfriend, my blog had to stop existing. I had to delete it and hide it ever existed. Then, I had to find a job before I run out of money.&ldqu
Jason began hastily moving his hand, and I placed my jacket in my lap in a futile try to hide what was going on. I bent my head in my back seat and closed my eyes. Pressing my bottom lip between my teeth, I had to concentrate to avoid my moans being heard by the people around.When I was almost done and all my body was tightened like a string, he removed his hand.“What are you...?” I began, but then I was at a complete loss when I saw him intentionally throwing his empty juice cup at my feet.Leaning to get it, he took a little too long to kiss my ankle and make a line with his tongue up to my knee. I looked around, but no one really paid attention to us. Swiftly, he dipped his head under my jacket and my skirt and sucked on my pearl for a short moment.
