Ivy“They did what?” Jade exclaims.“You heard me”“Well that's shit” she says, sounding way angrier than I am.“I don't want to have to go home with him everyday, he's just…disgusting”“Mind telling me what really happened?” She asks.I huff, blowing my hair away from my face.“It's a long story”“Well I'm here to listen”“I- um-”“Hello ladies” Someone all too familiar says.“Hello Dr Caden” Jade greets.Caden flashes her a tight lipped smile and then we lock eyes.“It's time to go home” Caden says, and I feel my skin recoil.“Um maybe I should go-”“No, you can't go!” I blurtJade and Caden look at me with questionable looks on their faces.“Why not?”“Yes why not, the university has closed for the day hasn't it?”“Because we have that thing, remember?” I counter, looking at her.It takes a second for her to realize what I'm trying to catch on but when she finally does she easily tones her voice to blend in.“Oh of course the thing, that we were supposed to do now”“Yeah exactly” I
IvyI can't believe that jerk tried to kill the both of us, not that I care about him dying but still.I groan loudly and spling my bag across the room and it lands on my bed.“God I hate him so much!” I scream and sink on my bed.My phone buzzes and I search my bag for it, it's only when I see Jade's name appear on the screen that a small percentage of my anger disintegrates.“Hey babe,” she greets me as soon as I answer the phone.“Ughh hey” I respond, utterly frustrated.“Yikes, you sound like you got hit by a train”“Yeah something like that”“Give me details” she says and I'm so sure I can hear her sitting down.I roll my eyes but tell her everything. I have no idea how long I've been talking but by the time I'm done my jaw starts to hurt.“Well that's odd, it sounds like he's a little jealous”“Jealous?” I ask sincerely weirded out “why would he be jealous?”“Well I don't know it just sounds like he is…has anything weird been happening before this whole stuff”A migraine slaps m
Ivy Footsteps that aren't mom's echo on the walls. A part of me is still wondering why she's here but the other part just wants to sleep.I yearn involuntarily and I head to my bed when I hear a knock on the door.“What does she want?”I'm just about to open my door when I hear someone else's door open. Caden's door.I hear hushed mumbles with her voice as the signature written all over it.I suddenly begin to itch to see what's going on. I open my door slightly just so I can see.Of course the first thing I see is a shirtless Caden but then my eyes wander off Julissa. Her red silk pajamas in sight.She leans at the door frame in a somewhat sexy position, like the ones you'd see lingerie models do. The weird part is that it doesn't seem like she's trying to be sexy.She says something I can't decipher and Caden's eyes seem to be in lock mode as his gaze never leaves her eyes.He steps aside for her to get in as he watches her do so. She lets out a loud giggle just before the door clo
CadenMy blood boils at the thought of that boy's name. It's irritating that she's still with him.I inspect the spot that Ivy had slapped and I see a small scratch across my chest.“She really knows how to test your ego doesn't she, pretty boy?” Von mocks.“Don't start” I spit watching the scar heal and recuperate in a span of a minute.“You deserved it like always,” he presses.“Sometimes I wonder how you're my wolf”“You'd be unlucky if I wasn't” he says “seems like the cut she gave you in your ego is the only thing that hasn't healed”I raise a brow at that statement.“What's that supposed to mean”“It means genius, that you're jealous”I scoff, turning to get myself a glass of vodka.“She didn't make a dent, whatever I feel is from that damn bracelet and probably some potions she must have given me”“Be honest with yourself for once in your life will you, you sound stupid and it's hurtful to listen to”“You're the stupid one”“Says the man who can't accept the fact that he's in l
CadenAn annoying knock on my door snaps me out of my sleep. Julissa's scent oozing from the direction.Knowing her if I don't answer the door she'll keep knocking until I do.“I think you should get that”“No shit”I drag myself out of the bed reluctantly till I reach the door. I unlock the door and twist the door knob not knowing what's coming to me.“Oh hey handsome what took you so long to reach the door?” She coos.It takes awhile to process what exactly is happening but by the time my brain starts working she's already in.Her mini dress swaying from side to side.It's still dark out so I know it's way too early for any of this. But here she is sitting on my bed with a weird annoying smile on her face.I run my hands through my hair trying to find the right words to communicate just how much I want her gone.But of course none seems to come to mind so I settle for the question instead.“Julissa Fangwood, what the hell are you doing in my room at this hour?”I hold my forehead im
IvyThe sound of Caden's door opening and I brace myself for the torturous laughter.I can almost say that I was expecting it. There's a nerve-wracking silence that comes afterwards and my ears itch to hear just what's going on. I almost break my neck trying to find something. Even just a sound.Annoyance begins to bubble in my gut.Why do I even care anyway?I rest my head back on my pillow and chant the sentence I've been telling myself since she got here.“I don't care about him, I don't like him, I don't want him”I repeat it over and over again till it seems right and I start to believe it myself.I feel my shoulders slouch and I begin to get comfortable again but I start to hear harshed mumbles and my ear perks up.I hear struggling and a loud thud and I'm beginning to get genuinely worried.What's going on in there?I catch myself almost getting out of bed but I suddenly stop myself from moving any further.“What are doing Ivy? Nothing that goes on in that room concerns you” I
Ivy “Hey hold up, what about breakfast?” Clifford suddenly calls out stopping me on my tracks.“Uh we'll just grab a takeout” I reply.“Nonsense” Clifford “what's a takeout to a homemade meal? You and your boyfriend should definitely have breakfast with us”“Boyfriend?” Elias whispers. His gaze shifting towards me “You have told them have you?”I shake my head nervously “No…I haven't had the time”“I guess that's fair, we can't keep them waiting…girlfriend”My eyes flutter towards Caden who's still looking at us. At Elias with hateful eyes and I hold him tighter.“Of course”“Ivy why don't you go make breakfast, they say a way to a man's heart is his belly” mom teasingly.“Oh okay…”Elias goes to take a seat at the dinning table and Caden follows behind.I go to the kitchen and cook up the best thing I can at such short notice. Pancakes,scrambled eggs and toast. Seems fair enough.“You're a better cook than I thought” Elias says from behind and I can't help but smile.“Want some help
IvyIt starts to rain the minute we get out of the car and so we run to the mall quickly so as to not get wet.Elias opens the door for me, removing an imaginary hat like the men from the 70’s.I giggle and walk in pretending to be in a musical. He holds my hand and smiles like he used to when we were dating.“You know you look really beautiful when you laugh” he says looking down from his towering height.I smile back “thank you”.“Hello beautiful couple, would you like to buy some beautiful dresses?” A lady appears before us with a wide commercial smile on her face.“Uh we're not-”“Yes we would, let's get your best dresses” Elias interjects and I glare at him.“Right this way sir” she leads us to a store right at the corner.I'm instantly breath taken at the sight of the beautiful range of dresses. Dresses of all shapes, colors and sizes hang on each side of the store.“Right this way miss” she reappears taking my hand to a room inside that has even more clothes.She hands me a loa
