Living With The Player Party Kisses
CAMILLA RENÉEFRIDAY NIGHT.Agreeing to my suggestion, she pulled the drink to her end, took my shot glass and poured one for herself.I grabbed the bottle, lifting it to cling against her glass."This is to forgetting all about our shitty lives. At least for tonight."We raised our instruments, toasting to my words before having a drink.Letting loose is nice and fun. Drinking from a bottle is exhilarating. I never want this to end.****Miranda didn't return to the girls, according to her they don't pay attention to most things in parties such as these, they just make her tag along for the fun of tortuing her.The students barely noticed us having a drink.It's easier not to care about the eyes around when you're drunk, if I were sober I'd be over cautiously, but now I just don't care.It's amazing.I moved closer to her as she carried on with the explanation.
Living With The Player Camilla's Past
CAMILLA FRIDAY NIGHTThe dare was a kiss, right?I had it all planned out, in my head before I approached him and as I thought, I'll walk over there and just kiss him. The plan was a short kiss.You know the kind where you head over there and kind of peck his lips then withdraw, that's how it played out in my head.The keyword is "in my head."This is what happened in reality.Retrace back to him gasping lightly in surprise, shortly afterwards, I did what I planned. I placed my lips over him, as I was about to pull away, he did what he planned.Still, in that position, Dylan raised his head slightly, since he was taller, I gasped and lifted mine as well. That little opening of my mouth was the start of my doom, he merely used it to gain entrance.His tongue dived into my mouth, hitting the back of my throat causing me to gasp all over again.As I did, memories flooded my
Living With The Player First Kiss?
CAMILLA RENÉEAs I said, okay I might not have said it directly, but I'm sure by now you would've caught up to the happenings of my life.More specifically, the one which occured two years ago. At this very party, on a night such as this.I was elated, after a twist of event, I was nothing short of sad and fear stricken.I'm sure everyone has ideas on what happened.It's fairly easy to guess.Dylan and I met that night, of course I'd seen him trolling the hallway in his bad boy lifestyle, but that night was differnt.He was different.He made the night special.I squeezed hard.If only this jerk hadn't done what he did, that night wouldn't be scarred in my head.Whenever I recall it, I wouldn't feel a knot in my stomach or the urge
Living With The Player BUSTED
CAMILLA RENÉE SATURDAY MORNING. There goes an evening without me looking like a deranged person. Why can't things just go my way for a change? With the terrible night, I'll just rush upstairs and maybe fall in bed, letting sleep take away all my problem and they are a lot. At this point, I'm faced with two alternatives. Two choices. Two options. Just one and two. There's no third party. Both of them are catastrophic depending on their reactions, they were actions and by rule they had equal and opposite reactions. The first and the dredged one was to Point blank tell him the truth if I did. The simple truth to his question, a mono syllabic word, it's simple to pronounce. It'll take less than three seconds to mouth, but that's not the problem. Speaking the truth isn't the issue at this point, it's living and managing what comes next. Follow up questions. Doubting gazes
Living With The Player Tutoring Dylan
**CAMILLA RENÉE**SATURDAY.Flipping the straps of my dress up my hand and over my shoulders, I continuously reminded myself how easy this should be.It's the same as a teacher's job.The student which in this case is Dylan Emerton, that student seats far away and listens as the teacher, me, speaks to him.I make sure he understands and afterwards, we can both put an end to the tortue and call it a day. Easy as that."With Dylan Emerton, you and I both know that's a joke."My mind wouldn't even buldge no matter how many times I grit my teeth or curl my fingers, even if they turn white before the end of today, somehow we both know Dylan makes everything more stressful than need be.I purposely skipped breakfast with the "family" which was weird even to me. I've wished for my parents presence for days, they return and I avoid them.The talk. That's what I'm calling it now. The one I've agreed to for almost a week yet neith
Living With The Player Football Week [I]
**CAMILLA RENÉE**MONDAY.The tutoring session went lovely. Dylan made no snarky comments or remarks, no flirting. He's also kinda intelligent, once he gets past the whole bad boy issue. He's an actual nerd. He'll kill me, but it's true.As for Sunday, there's nothing much to write up about it other than the fact that my parents ditched me, no new thing there. That's practically all of it.Now it's Monday, back to my usual routine.Up from bed. In the shower. Down the stairs. On Dylan's bike. Get to school.By the time I reached the stage, almost everyone was done with breakfast. I took an extra ten minutes in the bathroom, but I didn't mind since I had a full stomach from last night pizza.One thing did catch me off guard. My parents eat breaking and eat bread. When did they return?I avoided their gaze, pulling up a chair beside Dylan. They can save them apologises if they'll keep making one mistake over again.
Living With The Player Football Week [II]
CAMILLA RENÉEMONDAY.I retracted as many steps as I could, maybe five or six. It still didn't feel enough, his presence still crowded my senses and this wasn't in a good way. The goal was to create as much space between us as I could. His goal was to make me cower in fear. That has always been his motive. I keep letting him though. Stupid. Dumb. Scared. Camilla. The more steps I retraced, the more steps he took to close the gap, plummeting all my efforts at getting away from him. Meanwhile, that mini attack was building up quickly, creating this huge lump in my chest. I didn't mean that figuratively, maybe it's just in my head but I still found it difficult to draw any breath. I'm sucking in as much as I can, but it's hard. It's hard.Still, I kept moving backwards. He did the opposite and a hand flew to my chest.One more step behind and my back hit something strong. A human wall if you may.
Living With The Player His Escape
CAMILLA RENÉEMONDAY.It took a few minutes of praises and chants of our school to have the audience in a cherry mood.Then a few more till it passed away, the praises that is.It all subsided, but the entire soccer team didn't end theirs there.While the losers, God it feels good to say that, while they bowed their heads in shame and walked away, our team retreated to the locker room to finish what started in the pitch.They had water which was a tradition, it didn't seem rational to pour water over yourself merely because you're celebrating, but it's their tradition so I'll go with it.The announcer made it clear our team would have to go to Richmond High the next day, but winning first already gave us an edge.Dylan has disappeared with his teammates, taking the fun backsta

CAMILLA RENEE LINCOLN MEMORIAL. It's three pm and there's hardly anyone around. I can't see Harper or Dylan. I'm inside the memorial. My phone began ringing again. "You listened. Now keep walking. You'll get your reward soon." "What do you want?" "You. Forever." He answers in the same computerized voice. Me? I thought his obsession was Dylan. After seven years, he's still psychotic. "W-What are you talking about? Why won't you leave me the fuck alone?" I step forward, checking around. "I can't, even if I tried," I furrow my brows. "Where is Dylan?" "Closer." I shiver "Why did you take him? What do you want?" "I told you, Darlin, you and I. Forever." I search the entire place. It's no longer scanty. It's empty now. Completely empty. I walk out and try trailing the surrounding. Even security has vanished. Wait, a minute. Dylan calls me Darlin. Did Harper take that up now? Has he gotten even more crazy? "Have you figured it out yet?" "Dylan." I whisper. "Darlin."

CAMILLA RENÉEEIGHT YEARS LATER.WILLIAMS MEDICAL CENTER, WASHINGTON."Camilla? Are you done with that patient?"Athena peaked her head in, checking the room to be certain. I nodded my head, stifling a laugh. She strode in, pulled a chair and chuckled while seating."How long did he stay this time?""Two hours. Two pure hours of torture. Listening to him ramble about a woman who's probably shaking her ass on a yacht with another man. It's sad. Funny, but truly sad."Athena poured two glasses of wine for each of us."You deserved it."I bobbed my head in agreement. Sighing, she took a seat across as though she were my patient. I have no clue why his wife suddenly picked her bags and flew half way across the country leaving him devastated. Poor man still loves her, he'll heal. Hopefully.Until then, it's my duty to sit and listen. And he's like a two out of my tough patients. There are some who haven't gotten over dead daughters. Others who are depressed. God I love my job. It's like a

CLAIRE MITCHELL Sixteen days. So much has happened in over two weeks. So much has changed. Before I'd be begged to shut up, now everyone keeps gawking and idling for a word or two out of me.My parents flew out of Cal-U yesterday. They did their best, but I wasn't ready yet. Dylan's mother got close though. All she did was hug me and I sobbed.Yesterday I saw him. Camilla's ex. He knew about everything, so I choose to give the doctor's words a chance and then open up about this entire shit.So here I am, sitting across from him, peaking at his notepad while he scribbles my first and last name."If I gave you a choice between your blood and the one person you loved, who would you pick?"He gawks in shock. Half expecting me to keep quiet throughout. "Is that why you're withdrawn? Because of what Harper did to Dylan?"I chuckle."No. Of course now. I just don't see a reason to talk much unlike before. I'm curious, so I'm asking.""No. You're trying to convince yourself that you're nobod

MIRANDA COSGROVESATURDAY.“The audacity of you to come here! You animal!”I shriek, knocking my nose, which forces me to step back. “Why does everyone keep hitting me today?”Rocking my head, I disregard the comment he made and what he might mean. He deserves all the punches in the world. “Get the fuck out of my dorm. You better not try to speak with Camilla. Not after what happened. I refuse to let you get close to her.”Shoving a finger in his face, I propped my shoulders to seem taller and more intimidating.“Where is Camilla? Dylan came to my place screaming about how I tried to get her into the dorm. I came back here to make sure she was okay. He got a call and ran off. Have you seen her?”My bag drops to the floor and I panic.“What? He hasn’t found her? He hung up, and I thought, maybe...”I lower my knees and retrieve my cell, dialling Dylan’s number first. Straight to voice mail. I did the same to Camilla. Voice mail.What the hell is happening?“What did you do? What did y

DYLAN EMERTONSATURDAY.The shot landed beside Camilla's leg, making a dent in the wood. I saw my entire life through my eyes, and Camilla was the only thing I could see.I almost lost her. Harper would've shot Camilla if I hadn't howled. The bullet was inches away from hitting her."I do not have all day D. I would've opted for initials, but they both have Cs."His goons all laughed as he waved the gun in the air. I stomped forward, lifting my chin."You almost hurt her. I would have killed you!""Aww D, we're brothers, remember?"He clicked his tongue, then lifted the gun again."Enough stalling. Choose."I eyed both of them. My family. My whole life. I love them both. I may not love them. I'd be a fool to deceive my brain by saying I loved both of them at the same level. Camilla means more. Camilla will always mean more. But that does not justify killing my cousin. I can't live with that. I'm done thinking about just my needs.She has friends. Parents. May have a boyfriend who also

DYLAN EMERTONSATURDAY"You had her for two days, give or take! You couldn't allow me to spend a day with her!"I check the ID. it's unknown, but I recognize Miranda's voice. I'd figure out how she got my number later. "What are you talking about?" The more obvious question."Well, Camilla texted, "I had to run." I assume she's with you?"My brows knit together. "She isn't here."Standing up from the bed, I toss a T-shirt on, alarmed."How long was that text?""About three hours ago, I had to watch the movie. Now I can't reach her, and I called you to rant. You better not be fucking again!""Miranda slow down. I haven't seen Camilla since this morning.""Huh? But she texted me that...""Maybe she's at the dorm?""No. I called the landline there. No one answered."My heart skipped a pace."Dylan?""Wait a minute, Camilla never texts in full with me. Much less use words like "Run" Why am I just noticing this?"My heart jumped at another one."I think something happened." No shit. "Whe

CAMILLA RENÉEFRIDAY."You scent, It's better than I ever imagined."Dylan grunts fill the entire room as he kisses me up to my thighs, snugging his nose over my skin and then pressing his mouth on my inner skin.I moan, giving little regard to how loud I must sound, or who might be attracted to what we were doing.I'm clad in my panties only, which soon meet their fate on the floor. Dylan steps away, holding my gaze as he makes quick words of his shirt.Kneading my legs, I crawl to the edge of the bed, attempting to reach his belt buckle.He passes me a knowing look, chuckles, and then tosses his head back, allowing me room to his body.I peel the pants off his skin, reaching for the waistband of his boxer briefs.His hands meet mine and he halts that movement."Not yet."He grumbles, concealing his head in the corner of my neck."Lay back."His gentle commands ring in my ears. Obeying, I straighten my legs and return my back to the bed, all without breaking his gaze.Smirking, he be

CAMILLA RENÉEFRIDAY."How fucked up do you reckon the outside world is now?" Dylan dissembles the subject for a few seconds."We've been in isolation for twelve hours give or take? I'd like roughly two per cent more."Simultaneously, we break into laughter."What do you expect to do after graduation? P. I or you're going to work for a firm?""Well Darlin, I like my space, so I don't think I'll be under any company. I'll freelance." A delicate smile jerks my lips."Don't you think it'll be stressful? Having all those limited resources?""I'm very resourceful."He soothes me, pressing several kisses on the side of my head."And you? What are you going to do?""Hospitals. I want to work in a hospital. I'll be able to reach and help more people that way.""But that's a long time from now, we still have three-plus years to go. A lot could occur""You'd expect to change career paths?"He taunts. I shrug both shoulders."No, I'm just striving to keep an open mind. I infer my house got destro
