2023-07-29 17:39:38TAYA's POV :
"Taya? Baby?" He pleaded. "You're not serious, are you? You're breaking up with me... because I asked you to visit some schools on the East Coast together?"
It sounded bad when he said it like that... but that was pretty much the truth.
“It’s not just about the schools…”
“Then what is it?”
“I…”
I just don't love you.
I paused for a beat before muttering, "I'm sorry,"
He looked at me with such disbelief on his face. I was shocked that I said it too, but it felt like the right thing to do. Blake opened his mouth as if he wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say. No words came out, and he just stared at me. He must be in such a shock.
I really am sorry... If that makes any difference.

The girl's lost and I was just trynna help her out, is all,"Max was slurring his words, a sign that he was trashed.

The sight of that broke my heart, it really did. So without a second thought, my fists went flying as I grabbed Max by his collar."Woah, you need to chill," Max snorted.&n

JUDAH's POV :* BANG! *Another shot was fired and the sound was ringing in my ear. It must be so fucking close."No!" Blondie screamed.I followed her gaze and I saw a red spot over my arm, blood was soaking through my jacket. Did I get hit? I didn't even feel anything."Max! What the hell is going on here?" a loud familiar voice spoke suddenly and we all turned our heads around, finding Red standing before us.She gaped as soon as she realized what had happened. Max still had his gun pointed at me and my free hand went up to put pressure on my arm as blood kept soaking through. I studied the wound and realized that it was just a graze.Thank fucking heavens."Your little boy toy here is trynna pull a fast one on me. On us. He's betraying us," Max piped up, his eyes

You chose him, and that's all right. I understand. He's clearly the better choice too,"Story of my life."Who are you to decide these things, Judah?" Blondie cocked her head to the side as she spoke. Her voice got louder this time, as if she was angry."You never even gave us a shot," she said again, somewhat softer this time."No, I never gave myself a shot. I'm doing you a favor, Blondie. You'd be way better off,""Why do you keep thinking like this?" she demanded, raising her voice, and I raised mine too unknowingly."Because, on what planet would you ever have feelings for someone like me?!

JUDAH's POV :"Kiss me," she said again.I heard her loud and clear, but why the fuck was I not moving? And I shouldn't have made her have to repeat herself. But damn it, I was fucking terrified."Judah?""Blondie," I said quickly through gritted teeth, "I just have to warn you. If we kiss... it will end the world,"It's happened before and no one survived, especially me."What do you mean?""Letting you go was the single stupidest thing I had ever done. And I've done a shitload of stupid things. So, I'm gonna be honest with you, I will kiss you. And then I'll never let you go,"I didn't wait for her to react this time. Closing the distance between us, my face delved right in for hers. It was like an explosion of sensation. Just the taste of her lips was enough to send me off the rails.

JUDAH's POV :"Did I do something wrong?" she looked up quickly with a puzzled look on her face."If you go on like this, I'd lose myself right here and now. And that's not what I want," I let out a short laugh as she turned red in response.Bending down to reach for my jeans, I pulled out a fresh pack of condoms from the wallet in my back pocket. She watched me intently, not moving an inch, as I rolled the rubber down my length.Once I was done, I gave her a quick smile as I grabbed her by the hand. I laced her fingers through mine, before pinning it gently back against the wall."Such bad hands," I hissed playfully.Using my free hand, I pulled her one thigh up and arched her body so she was completely open to me. My manhood was rubbing against her and she scrunched her eyes shut in response."Open your eyes,"&n

JUDAH’s POV :"You doing alright?" I whispered to her ear as the both of us were lying down on the floor, atop of a bed made of our clothes.I was worried that I might have overworked her a little. I didn't mean to, but we ended up going at it for a few more times.I just can't help it, okay? Fucking sue me.Luckily, she nodded her head and gave me a small smile. Letting out a sigh of relief, I noticed her skin was shivering a little, so I pulled my jacket up to cover her. She looked at the jacket and then to me, and her eyes glistened a little."Hey, what's on your mind?" I said as my fingers ran through her cheek."This... isn't another part of your game right?" she breathed lowly, pausing a second before saying, "You're not gonna wake up tomorrow and say that this all meant nothing?"Fuck, did I mess

We went back to Hawaii for Thanksgiving, as we promised our friends, but we were staying in California for Christmas. Plane tickets were expensive and Blondie wanted to stay here and rehearse anyway.

Kissing the Bad Boy Gabe's Story
GABE’s POV :It all started because of one stupid promise.I promised my friends that I would speak to Maddie before I leave for college. I had a crush on this girl since freshman year of high school, though the number of conversations we had could be counted with one hand.Though my friends had already left for college and I was the last one to go, I couldn’t leave without keeping that promise. But the problem was that Maddie didn't even know I exist. I couldn’t just go to her house and declare my undying love for her. I had to meet her somewhere and I don't know, maybe strike a conversation first?So when I got word that there was gonna be a party at a yacht thrown by Ryder Jake Williams and that Maddie would be there, I thought this must be a sign.

RYDER’s POV :“Hey, Ryyy!” Taya screeched as soon as I picked up her Facetime call.“Hey, T, what’s up?” I chuckled.From where I was standing, my cousin sister looked alright. Her skin was glowing and her hair was neatly tied up. Several days had passed since she left Hawaii and I was glad to see her alive and doing well.“Ry, we just saw the article online, congrats on winning the Hawaii Pro. We’re so proud of you!”“Thanks,” I said. “Who’s we?”“Judah and me, of course,” she chirped. She then turned the camera slightly and showed Judah sitting next to her on the couch.“Right,” I snorted. “How are you doing out there? Is everything good? Is he being nice to you? You tell me if he’s doing something sh—”“Everything is great and he is perfect, Ryder,” she cut me off sternly. “We just moved in to our apartment and got our first couch today. Everything’s great here, so don’t you worry about us,”“Geez, stop referring to yourself as we and us. It’s creepy,” I rolled my eyes.“Oh, Ryder,
Kissing the Bad Boy Blake's Story
BLAKE’s POV :“Blake, no!” My mom said rather sternly. She was blocking the door to my dad’s office with her body. “Your father’s not in a good mood right now,” she hissed.“This can’t wait,” I said simply and pushed past inside.“Blake!” she called after me, but I only shut the door behind her.My dad finally came back from his business trip to Nevada. He was gone for weeks. When I heard that he was back tonight, I left the prom right away and went home. I was still in my prom attire as I walked into his office. I yanked my tie open and stepped inside. He was alone, sitting at his desk, and a glass of bourbon was by his side. You could tell a lot about my dad’s condition by his choice of drink. Scotch meant that he was happy, and bourbon meant that he just had a bad deal. He mustn’t be in a good mood right now.“Dad, I have to talk to you,” I said once I stood in front of his desk.“Not now son,” he sighed and tipped his head back. “It’s been a long day,”“It can’t wait, dad,”I had

TAYA’s POV :We were sitting under a bed full of stars. And they were shining so bring, they looked like diamonds scattered across the Milky Way. I had never seen anything more magical than this. I was completely in awe, but Judah didn’t look so impressed.“What?” I asked him. “You know a better spot than this in Hawaii?”“Of course,” he said.“Where?”He put a hand on the side of my cheek, tilting my face towards his. And with that sexy smile on his face, he aimed for my lips and said, “Right… here,”Oh, that was so smooth.His lips landed on top of mine gently and I tilted my face to the side, allowing for more access. Tightening his grip on my face, Judah deepened the kiss and I kissed him back with the same hunger and passion. Though it was cold out here, my body was burning up.

Our tongues met and they tangled breathlessly as warmth and desire overtook our bodies.Pulling away slightly, Judah threw the blan

JUDAH’s POV :* HONK! * HONK! *“Come on, Judah! Rise and shine!”Parked right outside my house, Blondie was beaming and honking the car. She was wearing a pair of sunglasses, a simple tank top, and jeans. Her hair was tied into a ponytail and there were two large cups of iced coffees in the cup holders. This could only mean one thing, she meant business.“Blondie… the sun’s not even out yet!” I protested as I neared the car.Ignoring me, she simply asked, “Did you bring a change of clothes like I told you?”I lifted the duffel bag in my hand. “Yeah, and what are we doing exactly?”“You ask too many questions, Judah,” she rolled her eyes and pushed the car door open, gesturing for me to get in. “Come on, chop-chop, we got places to be!”* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *The next thing I knew, Ed Sheeran was blasting on the radio as Blondie drove us to the highway.

TAYA’s POV :- - - - - One Week Later - - - - -“Taya, honey,”This morning, I woke up to my mom’s voice calling after me. I felt the bed dip and I stirred and groaned. I slept pretty late last night because I was binge watching Stranger Things on Netflix.And since I’m not a high school student anymore, aren’t we done with this? “Wake up, sweetie,” she said again when I refused to open my eyes.“Mom, what is it?” I sighed dramatically. “It’s Saturday morning… and I’m not in school anymore!”“I know, but you have company downstairs,” she said.Out of curiosity, I peered my eyes open. “Who?”“Who else,” she smiled knowingly. She leaned down and kissed my forehead, saying, “Oh, and happy birthday, sweetie,”That’s right! It’s my birthday today!Mom didn’t say anything else and she walked out of my room with a naughty smile playing on her face. My body jerked up instinctively. There could only be one person crazy enough to show up unannounced and wake me up at eight in the morning on a
