Chapter 27
It was so weird that I couldn't focus on writing even after my usual therapy : long nap, gobbling down some unhealthy foods, reading for an hour and dreaming for another half hour. But my stupid brain couldn't stop thinking of my Fiance with my bestfriend, I know that it's stupid to be suspicious of my childhood bestfriend but can you blame me? It was the first time in my life witnessing Peyton smiling and talking casually with the opposite gender who happened to be Ethan. Ethan, who I find attractive even while eating or brushing his teeth, sleeping with his mouth hanging open and hates lizards - my friends!
Just when my fingers started tapping on the keyboard, my phone started ringing with my dad's name flashing on my screen. I swiped the button and held it to my left ear.
Chapter 28I racked my brains thinking of various new plots which I have to submit in a few weeks. Leen had asked for something more different than my old style and I had a hard time working on it.New piece, new style, The pressure, the insecurities,Ethan, Peyton. Damn it! I couldn't think of a single sentence that made sense to me. I was tempted to write horror books, but was too much of a wuss to start imagining spirits and possessed characters, to make it live on my paper.Definitely not going there even if I’m tempted to do so.I was sitting, with my legs tucked under my butt, brainstorming ideas and eating ice-cream until the taste made me nauseous. The only thing I gained is my weight which is in serious need of running, so that's what I decided to do. A run in the park could perhaps give me inspiration.I put on my running gear and pulled my hair up in a p
Chapter 29DripDripDrops of water dripped on the shiny, golden floor. I almost felt sorry if not for the fact that my body is shivering, I could have imagined my lips turning blue because of the standing under the shelter in my soaked clothes for God knows how long. When the elevator dinged, I had the sudden urge to jump and sing but I didn't have much time before I accidentally fell unconscious from the cold. Is it just me or Why does it feel like I’m with Jack on the Titanic. My feet shuffled towards the front door of Ethan's place, the door knob unlocked with a click after the third attempt because my shaking thumb is of not much help at the moment.I let out a scream seeing Ethan on the couch, si
Chapter 30Three months later,I wake with the sun, with no sounds of birds chirping. Instead the sound of Ethan’s blaring alarm greeted my ears like an annoying buzzing of bees. I hit the device, halting the series of noises from deafening my ears. Ethan's heavy arms are daped around my waist, my naked body cocooned by his broad, warm body. I turned my face towards his peacefully sleeping form. I couldn't believe that someone that looked angelic and kind as Ethan is my fiance. I traced my fingers at the tip of his nose, his lips and finally down to his neck applying pressure and tickling there. I’m met with a groan.I smiled internally.“I told you not to do that” Groaned a deep,throaty
Chapter 31Ethan pov“Steven, Meet me in my place” I hung up the call and loosen the hold of my tie needing to breathe. I need a fucking logical thinking to take care of my fiance. Why was she drunk last night looking so fucking sad and miserable like I had wounded her trust?Had I done something wrong? I couldn't stop thinking about the way she recoiled from my touch in the morning. Months ago, I wouldn't even be obsessing over a girl much less engaged but when it comes to Winter, I want her everyday in my life no matter how cringey as it sounds.The sound of footsteps entered my apartment, Steven stepped into my office with his signature frown on his face.
Chapter 32Dressed in my warm sweaters and jeans along with my Ugg boots, I waited for Ethan to pick me up for our date. My hair is tied in a low bun, letting a few strands fall on my face.I applied my nude lipstick to make it look more natural in case red makes me look like a bitch. There has been a zoo of butterflies settling in my stomach ever since Ethan asked me out on a date last night. I felt so happy and giddy, my blood pumping with excitement and nervousness at the same time. I wrapped my neck with the scarf because apparently New York climate has the coldest air and as much as I wanted to flaunt my legs in my short dress, I don't want to end up in a hospital bed after my date.An hour later, I’m ready to retire in my bed because I don't want to start cussing Ethan in my bed because he stood me up. On our d
Chapter 33“We met again,”Zach grinned from his seat, watching me with amusement evident in his eyes. I looked down at my shoe blushing like crazy. What's with me blushing around a gorgeous guy that isn't Ethan.“Indeed.What a coincidence!” I replied, sending him a smile.“Are you married?” Was his next question although the marital status of mine is not relevant to any of my books or our work.“Uh- No?” I make a face at my own reply. Zach stared at me with interest and then started typing on his laptop, making a clicking sound continuously. I hated that he's my editor, I wasn't even talented enough to let people read my works.&nb
Chapter 3418+(mature content ahead)I jumped at his voice,blinking back the tears. Ethan's arms snaked around my waist pulling me unexplainably close towards him, his breath fanned over my face. His minty breath is one I’m so addicted to and all I wanted to do was taste his red soft lips. My wishes were fulfilled when his warm,soft lips came down on mine, almost knocking me over because of the force. I couldn't explain the relief in my chest when he pulled me closer as if the non-existence distances between our bodies is not enough. I moaned when his hands started to fondle my breast through my thin cotton tops.When I’m sure that my knees won't let me stand, Ethan pulls away slowly releasing my body and stares down at me. “Does that answer your questions or should I expl
Chapter 35“Are you okay?” Ethan asked me,while I was putting on my clothes. He buttoned up his shirt,his eyes feasting on my body without an ounce of shame.But that doesn't mean I didn't crave for his attention.“I’m more than Okay. I feel strangely energetic” I smirked ”And freshly fucked…” He groaned and threw his head back.“Don’t say things like that if you want to walk out of my office without limping” He smirked knowingly.I threw my head back and laughed, shaking my head.“I’m too sore for that,Ethan”&nb
Chapter 36 It's been a week since I came home from New York. It's been the best week in my home with my dad and my naughty niece and nephews. Piper is so huge with her nine months old baby bump. When she greeted me yesterday, I cried instantly because let's be honest. I've been so emotional and sensitive lately, crying over small things such as hearing Ethan's voice and seeing Gareth’s face. Currently, Piper and I were knitting woollen socks for her baby and I cried...again because the tiny socks are freaking cute. I imagined myself knitting tiny socks for my future kids and warm spreads in my chest. “Do you know if it's a baby girl or a baby boy?” I asked my sister who seemed to be glowing with happiness.
