Sebastian’s POV “ Where are you headed?” Dad questioned as I walked into the living room. “ A stroll,” I shrugged as I took my jacket. “ At night?” Dad twisted his brows as he sceptically looked at me. “ Evening breeze,” I countered. “ You've been acting pretty off lately. Are you alright?” Liam who kept stuffing himself with noodles asked. “ First of, what are you doing here? Secondly, why are you even eating by this time??” I stopped to properly interrogate him. “ Chill out. Besides, that's no way to treat your best friend. You're so heartless and cruel,” he ended dramatically. “ Agreed so answer my questions,” I frowned. “ Pfft, such a kill joy,” he pouted. “ Your mom invited me for dinner so I came but you didn't know since you didn't have dinner tonight. Secondly, I'm hungry,” he answered before heading back to eating. “ Even if you weren't invited for dinner, you'd still be here,” I sighed. “ Bingo! So there's actually no reason to ask,
Sebastian’s POV “ You should be fine now,” I said placing the last bandaid on her knee cap. I took off the disposable gloves, sanitized my hand before putting on my regular black gloves. “ T-thank you,” she stuttered. “ Welcome,” I said taking a bottle of alcoholic wine and turning into both glasses. “ You're really a germophobe,” I heard her mutter. “ Yes, I am but it's gotten a lot better now. You could say I'm getting more used to touching things,” I expressed. she gave me a puzzled look. “ That's good to know,” she smiled. “ Here, let's drink,” I handed her a wine glass and we began drinking. It was oddly quiet with both of us just drinking and unable to make the first move. “ I know I'm not in the position to pry but I'm a bit curious as to why you're here drinking when you're in a relationship,” she avoided my eyes as she spoke. “ Did anyone ever say one couldn't drink if he or she was in a relationship?” I chuckled, it was genuinely amusing.
Cora's POV~"Beep! Beep!" "Come on pick up dammit!" I cussed as I sped down the freeway. Did he really think I would stay quiet? He hadn't made a move in weeks. I had called him multiple times and he wasn't picking up. I sure hoped he wasn't avoiding me 'cause there'd be telling what I would do. "Buzzz!" The vibration of my phone alerted me. I quickly picked it up as I drove steered with one hand. Looking at the screen, it was him."Hello?" I answered brashly. I wasn't in the mood for any pleasantries or unnecessary greetings."Good afternoon Cora. You wanted to speak to me?" He asked in his usual calm voice. It usually pissed me off as he always sounded like he was sure of everything. "Are you at home now? 'cause I'm coming over to your place now" I said. I needed to speak to him in person. "Yes I am. I'll be expecting you then" he said as he hung up. I placed the phone down and hit the gas. I certainly couldn't wait to give him a piece of my mind. A few minutes later>>>>>>>>I
*** Nighttime, Bourne Groups ***Cora's POV~The creaking sound of the booth door pervaded the silence of the ladies room as I gently pushed the door open, taking a peek. As expected, it was empty, afterall, who would be here by this time anyway? (other than the janitor maybe). I snuck out of the ladies room and walked over to the CEO's floor, which apparently was the top floor. I was exhausted from climbing up the unimaginable flight of stairs that led up there"Oh man, hwweewww!" I exhaled from my mouth as I crouched with my hands on my knees, "God, I hate stairs!" I cussed. I finally appreciated elevators. Anyway, getting up there, it was pitch black so much so that all my eyes could see was eigengrau. I buried my hand into my back pocket and brought out my smartphone. Then I turned on the flashlight and looked around, you know? in case of any security guards. "Coast is clear" I muttered and walked straight over to Kasper's office door. I had been pretty mad at Kasper since the i
Cora's POV~"Thud!" I slammed the door shut as I barged into Dad's study. He looked up at me, removing his eyes from the paperwork on his desk. He looked kinda surprised. "Cora?" He muttered as he took off his glasses, "What's the matter?" He asked. I didn't answer initially as I was still trying to stop panting. I was breathing as if I was about to fight a long-time nemesis. "You don't look so good. Come on, have a seat. Is there any problem?" He asked further after the awkward silence. "What did you do?" I asked as calmly as I could, still breathing heavily but trying my best not to let my emotions run haywire. "Baby I don't understand. Please come and sit do...""What the hell did you do dammit!" I yelled at him at the top of my voice. The expression on his face was priceless. Was he really acting surprised? Like he didn't know what I was talking about. "Baby?" He muttered."What deal did you make with Abel dad? Tell me" I demanded. A look of realization suddenly appeared on hi
Lucas's POV~"What am I supposed to say?" I racked my head for ideas. The car was hella silent as we drove around, getting a view of the city's night scenary. It was awkward. I had literally gotten into a fight back at the club and we were kicked out along with the other asshole. I took occasional glances at Cora, who by the way looked rather depressed. "Still don't wanna talk about it? I can tell something's bugging you" I said as my eyes faced the road ahead. She didn't give any response and just kept looking out the window. Why was she making this difficult? Here I was trying to have a conversation and it's almost like she's not even here. "You know, talking about it might help relieve you of some stress, if you know what I mean" I added with a shrug as I took a turn. "Look Lucas, I get that you're worried but I'm okay." She suddenly responded calmly. "Besides, I forgot to thank you for what happened back at the club." She added."Oh that? That's nothing. I could never let a guy
Cora's POV~"Grounded?!" I yelled back in surprise, "You can't ground me. I'm not a kid" I revolted. "Yes I can and starting from today, you are gonna be put under twenty-four hour surveillance and you will no longer be allowed to leave the house" he said. I gritted my teeth and clenched my fists in anger as I watched him speak. How could he? I'm a fucking adult for Pete's sake!"You can't do this dad. I'm an adult. It's not fair!" I rioted, stomping my foot on the floor as I finished my sentence. "You're an adult?" He asked rhetorically as he took off his glasses, "You call yourself an adult? You must be delusional" he said. What?! What was he? Senile? I'm fucking twenty seven!"An adult is someone who reasons rationally and takes responsibility for their actions" he said, "You do neither! Hell you even kidnapped two kids and tried to burn them alive! Did you even think about the consequences of such an action before taking it?" He asked. What did that have to do with anything? I w
Lucas' POV It was unlike her to visit me without a basic reason. It couldn't be because of benefits, could it? We hadn't had sex in a while and neither has we discussed why we hadn't. Maybe it will make things less awkward for us if we just didn't say anything about it. “ Are you going to keep staring at me like I'm some sorta ghost?” She sighed as she sat down with caution on my couch. She was dripping wet and she probably was doing her best not to entirely ruin my furniture even though I couldn't really tell if this was helping. “ Sorry, I'm just wondering. I mean, it's not like you to barge in here and wet for that matter,” I pointed out. “ Something came up and I just had to leave home,” she shivered. “ You should probably take off your clothes and have a hot bath. I don't have female clothes here but you can manage my shirt, it's big enough for you,” I offered. “ Thank you,” “ Come on, hurry up into the bathroom while I make us both some hot chocolate,”
