It was a pretty long day for Arabella. She walks out of the classroom, feeling exhausted. She's been sitting in her most boring class, and she could swear she didn't hear a thing the lecturer was saying...How was she supposed to? when the lecturer himself was a complete disaster? ok, maybe that's too much of a description but he was bad at teaching."Of all the professions on earth, why teaching?" She asks the question to no one in particular. Wondering about herself. It's been days now, she can't stop thinking about Zoe. She is mad at her but that doesn't mean she's stopped being concerned about her regardless of what she did.Funny how she still cares after her betrayal. All she wanted was to get a grip of herself and stop blaming herself for everything but it seems like it was all a waste of energy. She ended up in a four hour boring class."can't this day get any better!" she cries, staring at the bright blue sky. Her day now is the direct contrast to what the sky portrays...Los
Rowan nods, and steps into the bath. Arabella eats her food, silently. staring at the closed door, while her thoughts run wide.Later that day, Zoe was done with practice. She has been more than lonely these days and the only thing that was keeping her company was her music. She didn't go to Ms. Patricia's place, she didn't feel like doing so to make things easier, so she decided to have her practice in school. She walks through the school hall, quietly. It was empty. It seems like she was the only one in school, or maybe not. She just couldn't tell. She felt pressed and decided to use the bath, but what welcomed her was a sight she will never get used to. Two people were making out, without a care in the world. Who will do such a thing? don't they have bedrooms? It was unusual to see such a nasty thing being practiced in the school. That she believed, not until she witnessed it herself. Not wanting to be an interrupter, she turns around to leave but the urge to know who those peop
Zoe had little or no sleep at all. Her eyes were swollen from too much crying, and her head was a disaster and was running a race on its own. What will she do? What must she do? How will she do it? All these questions came crashing into her small brain, creating chaos and confusion.Arabella has been a very good friend of hers since the start, and even though she felt something for her, that didn't change the fact that she was her treasure.With so much difficulty, she decided to let it go. It's not in her place to tell her the truth. Moreover, they are not on good terms and anything she says will be like she's trying to frame Rowan. And that, she didn't want to create something worse that will tear them apart for good.Bracing herself, she walks into the bath, allowing the cold water to fall down her body, which helps her relax.On Rowan's side, he was furious, pacing back and forth. Luca stares at him calmly as if his problems have nothing to do with him. Luca is a very good friend
Luca couldn't tell but he was willing to find out, to see for himself."But why this method? There are different ways to make her shut up you know" Luca complained, not liking the idea of luring her to his bed.Luca believes a girl should accept you first before anything happens between you both.He is a playboy too, yes! But nothing makes it sweeter when both parties are in one accord and are ready to rock hard in the room with the scent of their sex everywhere."Will you just do what I say and stop asking questions?" Rowan complained, annoyed by his question."Sure…if it is ok with you to bang a girl that doesn't feel a thing for you and who knows, might never respond to your call," said Luca, pouring himself a glass of water. He was deliberately adding salt to Rowan's already injured bruises."And if what you are saying about her is the truth, then we might not even have a chance with her" he continues. With the fact that Zoe is gay and has always been in love with one person, he d
Rowan slams her against the wall, pulling up her left leg to his waist. His towel falls on the floor, leaving him completely naked.She responded by tightening her grip on his neck, pulling him even closer.The atmosphere was becoming hotter, sending out waves of desires and lust. His lips trail down her jawline to her collar bone, sucking on it as if his life depends on it.She cries out in response, taking a hand fold of his hair in her hands.How much more could she take for him? She was willing to take anything if it pleases him.He tore away the big t-shirt she was putting on, exposing her alluring pale skin to his view.Going down, he pulls off her pants leaving her with her black lingerie on.She looks seductively sexy in black lingeries, this got him wondering what it would look like if it was Zoe putting it on. Thinking about Zoe only intensifying his Lust, he yanks her into his arms, squeezing on her ass while sucking away her breath.Pulling out from his hot kiss, she inh
He continues spanking her ass while fuckin her, doing it even harder and faster than he's ever done. She cries out, begging him to stop but he doesn't, she tries to pull away but his hands grab her waist firmly, holding her to a spot. He was strong, very strong. With her every struggle to get out from his tight grips, she only ends up bruising herself."Ah…please…I can't…take it" She begs with a trembling voice, sobbing.Her pussy hurts, she could feel it. His roughness is killing her, he didn't care and just kept on going as hard as he could venting all of his frustration and failure on her."Pl…Row…an…" She could barely form a word, her cries were getting dimmer. She never knew he could be this rough and inconsiderable to her until now, it aches her to the bones.He only stopped when he was satisfied. Pulling out of her, he wasted himself on her and left for the bath.She slumped on the bed, exhausted, and was unable to move a muscle.Tears rolled down her cheeks wetting the bed sh
While Arabella spent her night crying, hoping he would push through the door and comfort her aching heart, Rowan spent his night having the most amazing sex of his life.She misses Zoe so much, her hugs, her soft and soothing whispers, her caresses everything. Being with Zoe always makes things better for her, but she chased her away.She deliberately refused to give her listening ears when she pleaded, crying for one.She isn't a good friend, maybe she was but everything changed the day she walked away from her. The day she turned her back from her, ignoring her pains and pleas.Now she needs comfort but has no one to comfort her, no one to tell her it's ok.Little did she know that Zoe is suffering the same fate, for her, because of her.She is torn between telling her the truth and knowing she will never believe her.She didn't feel like going out, her body still aches from his roughness.All she could do was stay at home, with eyes on the door hoping he would come back.*In the sc
Chapter 28Zoe relaxingly laid on the bed, resting her head while staring at the ceiling. If only things would've been different with both of them if only Arabella hadn't chased her in anger. Maybe they would have been doing just ok with each other.Maybe she's the only one that's being dragged into the deepest pit of loneliness, maybe she is the only one struggling to climb herself up to the top. It hurts knowing she's taking all the struggles alone, little did she know that Arabella was going through tough times too.If only she hadn't ignored her, they would've still been close, friends like they usually were.A knock came on the door, jolting her from her thoughts of maybe and if only.She wonders who it was because she hardly gets any visitors, she has no one to visit her anyways.Opening the door, she was by the face of Luca's smiley face."Hi!" He waves cheerfully. Zoe frowned with thousands of questions running in her head. What the fuck is he doing here? How did he even loca
"what are you thinking?" Zoe asked, walking out of the bath with a hand towel as she wiped on her hair."Nothing" Arabella denies, running her hands through her hair. She stood up and walked to the cupboard by the side, pulling out the hair dryer."Let me," Zoe offers, takes the hand dryer and starts to blow dry her hair."There is nothing to worry about, everything has been taken care of" Zoe assures.Silent engulfed the room for a few seconds before Arabella demanded, "Did Ms Amanda understand the situation?" She is worried they might be offended by their relationship."Hmmm, she is always understanding," Zoe explains.Arabella nodded but didn't say anything even though she so much wanted to.Zoe could tell from her look that something is eating her up, she spines the chair over making her face her completely."She is understanding as well, but not as forgiven as her aunt. I don't blame her, I'm pretty sure everyone in her shoes would do the same." Zoe starts."I hurt her, Zoe. " Ar
"Why did you lie to her and make her believe she was the one you loved? Why did you do all those things only to let her down at the tail end? Why Zoe? " She yells, demanding an answer." I'm sorry aunt," Zoe said, tears running down her cheeks. She understands all that it means, the feeling of being lied to and she is more than sorry."I honestly thought I could keep her, that we could be something more but then, I realized I am not deserving of her love. " Zoe explains, "It was never my intention to hurt her, I swear, aunt, there has never been a thought in my head other than protecting her and taking care of her" she said with all honesty." Is that so? Why then did you hurt her this much? " Amanda demands furiously."The heart doesn't lie, you can be the judge of that yourself. I can't choose whom to love and neither can I tell my heart whom to beat for. I sincerely apologize for everything, most especially for toiling with your trust and love. I know how important Evie is to you,
"I'm sorry for hurting you all these years, for judging you and leaving you when you needed me most" Arabella cries in pity."You did nothing wrong" Zoe tries to coax but Arabella is way too out of the league."No, I'm a bad person. I ignored your love for another, I bluntly hurt your feelings saying there will never be an Us. I caused you pain for years yet you never curse or judge me. I walk away from your life but you always stood by me and never made me feel less of the person I've always been to you" she explains in tears."You were doing just fine without me, so I was until I saw you after years of distance looking so happy with Evie. I didn't know why but I felt jealous, I felt hurt. Maybe I'm just selfish, maybe I just want everything for me" she cries."I never realized until I saw you two, just then I understood how egoist I am. Seeing you two made me feel things I've never felt before, not even for Rowan or Jack. I couldn't stand you two, that's why I left when you were sin
The truth is always hard to accept, and difficult to come to terms with.Zoe thought she could make herself come to terms with the idea of wanting to move on but it turns out feelings are not just something one can erase.Realizing she can't live without her one true love, she decides to go for it, it's her last chance anyways.If she gets accepted, it'd be a miracle and if she gets rejected, it'll be no surprise though she will be hurt.On the other hand, Arabella lay back on the couch staring at the white ceiling above all lost in thought.Nothing had ever been the same ever since she left Zoe's apartment. She's lost everything, her fiance whom she thought loved her until it turned out the opposite and her best friend whom she has always ignored her love until things start streaming from within bringing weird feelings she's never thought she had.A knock came at the door pulling her off her thoughts, she frowned wondering who it might be.Deciding to see who it is, she carries her t
Evie sits on the table not far from the door as her gaze stays fixed at the door. "You've been sitting there all day, why not take a break?" Amanda questions walking to the table."I don't want to" Evie denies, "she promised to be here today" she adds.Amanda sighs, taking the seat next to her, "what if she's tied up with something important? She can't just rush to you because of a mere promise" she explains.Evie didn't respond, her gaze never left the entrance. Zoe promised to come over and treat her to lunch and it's almost time she hasn't shown up yet." She's gonna make it" Evie grumbles in her stomach, not willing to accept something that might be so important to keep Zoe from fulfilling her promise." So positive "Amanda chuckles." Hmm, she will come," Evie repeats, with an optimistic face.Amanda stares at her for a long time before saying, "Why not try finding out what's keeping her rather than waiting? I'm so done with that face you have on" she grumbles and leaves.Evie
It's been close to a week now and Arabella was still trying to accept herself and her mistakes. Like any other day, she was busy with work at the office while hoping the day runs off in a blink of an eye.But as it turns out, the day was against her wishes and hopes but she didn't let it get to her as she forces herself to work till there is no more strength left.It was around three in the afternoon when she decided to visit Jack, it has been a normal thing for her.She grabs her bag and carries herself out of the company, enters her car and quickly drives away.Her car slows down before a large building, and she steps out and walks in. There wasn't a doubt in her identity as she was quickly led to the elevator leading directly to the fifth floor where Jack's office is.She steps out of the elevator as soon as it stops, walks through the corridor and only stops when she is before his office door.She takes in a deep breath, calming her worried and anxious mind. There is no way she c
Can you let go and see me instead? Can I be the one you see and want to be there with all the time? Can I?" Evie asked in tears, staring at the frozen Zoe."Of course, it's a no. I've known long enough and I wonder why it hurts" She turns and starts walking away."Why me? I can't be all you want" Zoe cries out, staring at Evie's excited back."I've never wanted you to be enough or perfect 'cause I neither am... I just want you to see me, accept me and love me... Is that too much to ask for?" Evie retorts."What if it doesn't work? What if we never get an Us in this?" Zoe wasn't sure of her feelings and desires and she was scared of hurting her.Evie turns around and takes counting strides toward Zoe. "Why not try and see if we are good or not? You never know what awaits us" Zoe had always known Evie to be an optimist but never would she have thought she would willingly throw herself for an experiment they both ain't sure of the end product." But it's ok, I get it... You don't wish t
The entire room was engulfed in total silence, everyone staring, waiting for Zoe to start.Zoe glanced at Arabella before she locked gaze with Evie, the smile on Evie's face was enough to bring a simple and genuine smile to her lips.She turns her attention to the crowd, "hi" she speaks out unsure of what to say. "I-i am honored to be given a chance to sing to y'all, hope you enjoy the song".With that, she walks to where the piano lay, her long slender fingers dancing on the keys immersing the room with the sound of a beautiful melody as she sings.It was the song titled " Falling " by Harry Styles.It's been like forever since Arabella heard her best and childhood friend sing and hearing her now made her realize just how distant they've become.Without realizing it, tears rolled down her cheeks, she stayed glued to the girl on the stage. Her heart aches for unknown reasons and she can swear she never thought she'd feel this hurt.Usually, Zoe always stares at her while singing but i
"more like Zoe" Arabella mutters under her breath, eyes glued to where Zoe stood."I guess your closeness is more than just a friend" Evie blurt without thinking."Excuse me!!" Arabella was taken aback by her questions.Evie clears her throat at the realization of what she might be thinking, "not like that, what I mean is, you guys look more like sisters than besties" she explains."Oh!" Arabella exclaimed with a sigh of relief, "You can say that our years of friendship define our bond." She gave a sweet smile.Evie returns the smile, "Right"."Here is your drink" Zoe spoke out, handing Evie a soft cocktail drink. "Simple non-alcoholic drink for a softy" she teased.Evie couldn't hold her blush, "I'm not that soft you know, " she complains."Says a baby" Zoe chuckles and sips down her drink.Arabella on the other hand silently watched them talk with an expression that couldn't be described."I'm not a baby!" Evie pouts and hits lightly on Zoe's arms feeling embarrassed."Sure?" Zoe ra
