2024-10-29 19:42:56The next morning I woke up in my bed with a horrible hangover and let out a loud groan. I was in no mood to head to work and just wanted to sleep in. I rolled over and picked up my phone from the bedside table and found a dozen of texts from Theo and one from Grace. I opened her text first in my sleepy daze.
'Sorry about yesterday. Hope you didn't feel awkward.' - Grace.
What the hell?
It was like she was trying to rub it in my face. I took a deep breath reminding myself that I had no right to feel this way at all. They were dating and people who date are allowed to kiss. I shook my head and opened his texts which went like this,
'Where are you?'
'Did you get home safe?'
'God, woman! Pick up your phone.'
That text made me laugh for some reason and I started to type him a reply.

"Hi, Lucy!" I heard Grace's high-pitched voice in the cafeteria as I was ordering my coffee. I was finally on my break after working for four hours straight. I turned around slowly to find her walking towards me. She looked so happy and I could see it in her eyes sparkling with excitement.Dear Lord!I think I need a double espresso. I was not completely out of my hangover yet."Hi, Grace." I tried to force a cheerful smile and she pulled me by my hand as soon as I received my coffee, dragging me to the corner of the cafeteria."I really need to tell you about last night. It was so magical." She started and I kept staring at her, maintaining a straight face."Was it?" I asked in a sarcastic tone, looked down at my coffee and she had a small frown on her face."What is it? Are you mad or something?""Well, you didn't text me last nig

Halfway through the movie, I heard a loud knock on my door, making me jump from my seat and causing the popcorn to spill all over my couch."Dammit!" I cursed under my breath and cleaned my couch before making my way across the room all the while wondering who it might be at this time.Would it be Theo?I looked up at the clock and it was 11.30 pm. He did say we could have our movie night if he came back home alone. I shook my head and tried not to get my hopes up high.I opened the door and was met with a pair of crystal blue eyes. He looked tired and was resting his arms on the side of my door. I also noticed that his tie was undone, a few buttons of his dress shirt was open, revealing his chest.Was he...in the middle of something?

"She is not my girlfriend yet. We are justdating and I don't get the same vibe with her anymore. It's weird because I was so sure that she would the one for me." He burst out in frustration and I gulped, knowing the reality of our crazy fucked up situation."Just because that didn't work out, you try to kiss me?""No, God! You always assume the worst and it's not like you pushed me away either. You wanted to kiss me too." He scoffed and I gave him an unbelievable look."Why are you trying to screw this up? We are supposed to be friends and nothing more than that," I groaned in frustration and he kept staring at me."Because, I've always been attracted to you, Lu. Seven years ago and even now. Aren't you even a little bit curious to find out if this would work out between us?" he asked and stood up immediately.What the fuck?He is attracted t

"He said what?" I almost yelled insurprise and Grace gave me a puzzled look."I said he agreed to come with me to the fundraiser," she replied and I could see that she was confused by my reaction."Oh...oh good, I thought I heard the opposite of it. Silly me!" I gave her a nervous laugh and saved the awkward situation."I need to get a dress. I have nothing to wear," she whined while my mind was circling around Theo.What was he playing at?Why was he leading her on?"Lu, are you even listening?" She waved her hand in front of my face and I finally looked at her."What?""I said, I need a dress. Are you all set for the evening?""Yeah, I'll just wear something. It's not like I have a date or something." I added and she gave me a small pout.

Once I was back home that evening, I started to rummage through my closet to find a perfect dress. I was not looking forward to this fundraiser in the beginning but now that I wasn't going alone, I wanted to look good and sexy.I finally settled on a silver floor-length gown that had a deep neckline. After taking a nice shower, I wore my dress and started to work on my makeup, keeping it subtle.I ran a comb through my hair and quickly pulled it to the side and tied it in a bun, leaving just a few strands of hair to frame my face. It was almost 7 pm and Dan would be here any minute now. I grabbed my clutch and slipped my feet inside a pair of silver high heels and rushed to the living room. At sharp 7 pm, I heard my doorbell go off. I took a few deep breaths and walked towards my door expecting to see Dan but it was Theo with his tie in his hand. He was looking annoyingly sexy as always in his three-piece tuxedo.

"Fuck!" I cursed under my breath and saw Grace panicking beside him. He stopped anyone that was trying to help him and walked away from the crowd that had gathered to witnesses the commotion."I think I should go help him. I'll be right back, Dan." I rushed out, picking the ends of my dress to walk faster."Sure. I'll be fine and remember what I told, Lucy." He called out to me as I walked towards Grace. Once I reached the dinning area, I saw her standing with a worried look on her face."What the hell happened and where did he even go?" I asked, completely unaware of what went down between them."I don't know, Lu. We were drinking and just talking. Then, I got a call and while I was busy on my phone, I heard a noise and that's when I turned around to find him with broken glass and his hands were all bleeding..." She started to sob and I rolled my eyes at her silly behavior.

"I'm here," Theo announced and walkedtowards her while I reminded hidden behind the bushes."Are you okay? Did Lucy find you?" she asked in an extra worried tone and I rolled my eyes at the way she was acting all innocent and caring."I'm okay and uhhh...I didn't see Lucy." He stammered a bit and I let out a small sigh. It was time for me to go home. I had enough drama for one night and I just wanted to get out of my clothes and sleep in my own bed.Once I was able to hear only muffled voices, I realized that they were walking away from me and I slowly came out of my hiding. I started to make my way towards my car and tried to hold back my sob. Everything was messed up and now I had no idea if he was going to end things with Grace.

The next morning, I woke up to find Theo's arms wrapped around me. We had fallen asleep cuddling each other in my bedroom and I let out a soft sigh, feeling giddy with happiness. It took everything in me to not jump his bones last night but it was way better than sex. We stayed up all night, talking and laughing about random crazy stuff and it was absolute bliss. I realized that it was Sunday which means we could just chill at home.Also, I had no idea if we were dating now or how this is going to work. I know he ended things with Grace but him, jumping into another relationship would hurt her so badly especially if she comes to know it is with me."What are you thinking about?" I heard his hoarse voice from behind and internally groaned at how sexy it sounded."Nothing," I mumbled and he flipped me immediately so that I was facing him."There is always something, darling." He chuckled and I noticed that h

I jerked in my seat when I felt my phone vibrate in my jean pocket. I pulled it out to see a text from Lucy. I was currently in the middle of my English class which was really boring since I had already read all of Shakespeare's and Jane Austen's novels. Lucy and I had one or two different classes every day'I'm so bored.'--Lucy'Same here.'I hit send and tried to focus on the board in front of me. The day was dragging by and I just wanted to get out of school as soon as possible. It was Friday, for god's sake. My phone buzzed again on my desk, earning a few stares from my classmates.'Andrew invited us to a party this weekend.' --Lucy'There is no 'us'. I really don't

"Fuck! I hate it, Ri. It's only been a week and we are already swamped with homework and assignments," Lucy groaned in frustration. We were in the study hall, working on our math assignment since we had a free period."What else would you prefer doing?""Anything besides this. Also, Andrew is annoying me to the core. He hasn't texted me since morning." She pouted and kept checking her phone every five minutes."Here, let me help you." I grabbed her note and started to teach her. Not to brag or anything but I was pretty good at math and probably the only thing I was good at."Damn! You are good, girl." She whistled when I solved a complex problem but I simply shrugged, trying not to make a big deal out of it."You just need to use your brain." I teased, earning a smack on my arm from her."Shut up.""You know what? You could probably do this for money," she

"For the love of God! Stop screaming!" I groaned out loud with my eyes still shut. I stretched out my hand, trying to reach for my stupid phone to shut it off but it ended up falling on the ground with a loud thud."Perfect." I threw my sheets away from my body in anger and picked up my phone from the floor to see a small crack on the top left corner and the name of my best friend blinking on the screen."Lucy! It's Sunday!" I almost yelled at her as soon as I attended her call. I hate it when someone interrupts my sleep, especially on Sunday."Good morning to you too, sunshine!" She replied in a sarcastic tone and I rolled my eyes."You better have a good reason for calling me," I yawned, falling back on my bed, pushing away my chestnut brown hair from my face."School is starting tomorrow and we are officially seniors now. We need to go shopping, Ri.""You mean, you

A month later..."I don't think I can come early today, babe. I have a busy shift at the hospital." I let out a small pout, looking down at my fingers. Lately, I've been so busy with work and felt like I haven't had time for myself and us. I was already exhausted and just wanted to curl up and sleep for days."I don't care. You are coming home by 7 pm or I'm kidnapping you from the hospital." Hereplied firmly through the phone and I let out a soft sigh.I did miss him too. He has also been so busy, flying back and forth to Chicago for the opening of his new hotel, "I just got back today, Lu. Things are almost settled at Chicago and I wouldn't have to travel more often like before now." He stated with a pause, "God, I miss you so badly. Please get that cute ass of yours here," he whined like a puppy, making me laugh.How could I ever resist this guy?"Okay, I'll be t

"So it wasn't that dick head?" Theo asked feeding me a spoon of ice cream. I was back at home after a long day of work and told Theo about Dr.Brew and Grace."No, and I really have no idea now. My last guess is Andrew himself and by the way, you really shouldn't have punched Dr.Brew," I mumbled, licking my lips and stretched out my legs on his lap. We were sitting on the couch and chilling after dinner. It felt so right and I could see that most of his things were sitting in my apartment yet to be unpacked. He must have had a busy day with all the shifting."No regrets there, baby. He still wanted to get in your pants and I don't like the fact that he invited you for Thanksgiving," He shrugged lightly, massaging my feet and I let out a small moan."Oh, wow! That feels so good." I closed my eyes and s

"You sure you are going to be fine today?" Theo asked as I was getting ready for the day. He was still in bed beneath the sheets, tempting me to join him."Yeah. I'll just ask Dr.Brew and we will see how it goes. Worst case scenario, he denies it or maybe it was Grace all along." I rushed out hurriedly as I ran a brush through my hair."Mmmm...I wish you didn't have to go," he whined, rolling over to have a good look at me and Ismiled at him through the mirror.Why did he have to be crazy hot and tempting?"Not all of us own a business, Mr.Philips," I smirked as I walked towards my closet to get my coat and bag. Suddenly I felt his presence behind me and turned around to face him."Aren't you a sight for a sore eyes?" He nuzzled my neck, making me giggle as I wrapped my arms around his shoulders."I'm going to be late, Theo. Stop it." I moaned, not actually

"I had a really great time," I added, letting out a soft sigh as I stretched back against the car seat. We were back on our way to New York after spending Thanksgiving with our families and I didn't want to go back just yet."Yeah, me too. I'm just so happy that we are back together." He grinned widely, keeping his focus on the road ahead of us."It's not a big surprise. I knew you would work your charm on me and that's exactly why I didn't want to come,""In that case, I'm glad you changed your mind, sweetheart." He took my hand, planting a soft kiss on it, making me blush. We drove in silence for a while before he spoke up."So, umm...you still in touch with Andrew." He asked casually and I glared at him for bringing it up again."Seriously, Theo? You are still jealous?""Pffft! I'm not jealous. I just don't want him to think he has a chance with you again."

"I can't wait anymore. I need you now." I stated firmly, making his eyes go wide in shock and excitement."I can't believe I went without sex for almost an entire week. It was pure hell, baby." He grumbled, pushing me down on the bed and buried his face between the crook of my neckwhile his hands roamed all over my loose t-shirt freely."I know and it was all because of you." I added, running my hands through his thick lock of hair and closed my eyes, feeling the pleasure shoot through my body."We are going to have the best make up sex ever, darling." He beamed proudly, kissing my lips while his right hand automatically went under my shirt to find my bare breasts with erect buds, waiting for his attention."Mmmm--""Fuck, you are so hot." He whispered against my lips and I could feel his erection, rubbing against my bottom already making me wet. He removed my shirt in one swift movement, revealing my naked boobs and I not

"Hey, Dr. Brew." I greeted him as soon as I picked up the call with a confused look on my face."Hi, Lucy! Ummm...is this a good time to talk?" he asked, clearing his throat and I was starting to get worried now.Did something bad happen?"Yeah, sure. Is something wrong?" I asked, panic evident in my tone."No, not at all. Uhh...did you by any chance tell Theothat we are dating or anything?" he asked, making my eyes go wide.Oh no!Please don't tell me he did what I thought he did."Oh my God! What did he do now?" I groaned out loud, holding my head with my palm, and kept pacing back and forth in his room."Well, Theo did pay me a visit and punched me square on the face saying that I should stay the fuck away from you so I just assumed."What the hell!"He did what
