BRANDON The death glares Naomi has been giving me since yesterday are enough to put someone in a damn comma. When Kimberly asked me if I fucked Shiloh, I was dumbfounded. Lying and cheating are two different things, the fact that she thinks I would actually dip my dick in someone else who isn't her pisses the shit out of me. I'm anything but a fucking cheater. I hate that she was crying, I hate it when she does. The angry sex though? It was everything, I liked the pain she inflicted on me, I wouldn't mind if she repeated it over and over again, it just made my dick hard. Backing up has never been my thing, I'm just giving her a few hours to calm the fuck down and I'll be bursting through that damn door so that we can talk. What she found in that frat was a pre party chill, the actual party is tonight and I wouldn't put it past Kim to think I'll be fucking Shiloh. I need to erase that doubt from her mind, my dick won't be fucking anyone in this lifetime apart from Kimberly. I flo
KIMBERLY I was wrong, again. I need to stop acting out of jealousy or impulse. Brandon steps closer and places his palm on my cheek. "Now, can we talk?" I shake my head, yes. He pulls me outside and to the backyard. He takes a seat on a bench and I do the same next to him. I focus ahead but can feel his eyes on me. "I need you to stop doubting me," he says. My eyes meet his. "I need you to trust me as much as I trust you, Kimberly." "Then don't give me any reason to doubt you," I say softly. "And I am trying, that's why I cut off Marisa completely." "But did you?" I search his eyes. "What?" He frowns and I take in a sharp breath. "The night I got attacked," I start and notice his body tense. "You went to her, didn't you?" We search each others eyes and he says without blinking. "Yes." He answers, i swallow at his honesty. "And I beat myself up every day for it, she was wasted, when a bartender called me and said she was drunk, I went to take her home." It hurts that he
KIMBERLYI hug my books to my chest, leaning against the wall and smiling at Harry."Sooo, you will make it, right?"I sigh."I don't know, Harry. But I promise I'll try my best to make time."His face falls and I instantly feel bad for turning him down."Hey babe," Brandon says from beside Harry and he goes tense.Bran's eyes find Harry, but instead of scaring him off, he smiles at him and says,"Hi." I'm taken aback for a second there and so is Harry."Uh, hello. Kim, I better get going.""Sure, see you around."He walks off and I'm left with Brandon. I turn to him and smile with amusement."Well look who's being nice."He corners me until there's no space behind me and the wall. He places his hands on the wall behind me, caging my head between them, then he leans down so close such that I have to cross my eyes to get a better look at him."For you, I'd be nice even to the devil."He smiles down at me and I'm reminded once again that this man is the only one for me.I smile back an
KIMBERLY I jump to my feet and throw my hands around Brandon's neck. He wraps his around my waist, after long minutes, I pull back and meet his eyes. "I-i didn't know this would happen, you need to be at the hospital and not here." His worried eyes look over my shoulder at the girls. "What the fuck did Lily say to her?" Nao repeats what Lily's exact words were and I wrap my hands around my middle and repeat what I just said to him when he entered the room. "You need to go to the hospital, Brandon." His eyes move back to mine and soften, then he places his hand on my cheek. "Where I need to be is here, with you." "No," I shake my head. "I know you say you don't but you do care, Brandon. I won't be that selfish to stop you from checking up on someone who attempted suicide because you shut them out." "Baby, what Lily said is bullsh-" "Please," I cut him off. "Please." Contemplation dances in his eyes. "For me." His eyes search mine. "Fine, but you're coming w
KIMBERLY I grab my books and head out of the café when someone steps into my path, blocking me from moving. I sigh, starting to get tired of the repeated shit. "What do you want, Lily?" "You know exactly what I want Kimberly, my only problem is why you haven't yet done it." I roll my eyes. "If you're here to talk about Brandon, then forget it because I'm not leaving him." Her eyes harden and if it were possible, I would be seeing smoke coming out of her ears just by how mad she is right now. "It wasn't enough that you almost got Marisa killed? All that empathy for her I saw I'm your eyes was just a façade, wasn't it?" "Look, I was really sorry for what happened to Marisa, but it wasn't my favourite, so stop trying to pin it on me." I try to move around her but she grips my arm and pushes me back. I grit my teeth, finally annoyed. "You know, Lily, there's one thing that surprises me more in this whole little dynamic of yours. You seem to hate me more than even Mar
BRANDON "Did you tell Sam about your outing with Shiloh?" I ask when Kim stays silent for long. "No, why?" "Just asking, since you girls tell each other almost everything." "I didn't." She sighs. "I don't know how she'll react to that." I pause flipping through the papers and look at her over my shoulder. "I think it's great that you and Shiloh hang out, she's Xander's girlfriend and everyone agrees that they've moved on, it's only fair that she's made to feel welcomed." "Yeah, and I do want to hang out with her for Xander's sake and the fact that she's nice, but the last thing I want is to make things awkward if I decide to bring her along at the barbeque and Sam is there. You know, the 'the ex I hate's girlfriend thing'." "Maybe you don't have to bring only Shiloh, Sam's boyfriend can come too." "That's okay with everyone?" "If you mean Xander, then the answer is yes. He wouldn't mind." "Cool," is all she says. After a few beats of silence, I hear her stand. "Do you wa
BRANDON Kim has been down for a few days now, she must have caught something when we went boat cruising five days ago. I step out of the pharmacy from getting her her meds since the ones she was taking got done last night. I stop at the gas station to fill my tank, then Andy's to get her favourite food. I leave the order and enter the bathrooms, exiting the stall, I feel hands wrap around my waist. I flinch away and turn only to be met with Marisa's eyes. "Whoa, there's no need to act like that, it's just me." "Yeah, it's just you and that's the problem. It's not supposed to be." "Oh come on, Brandon." She throws her hands up. "You're overreacting." "Get out of my way, Marisa." As if my words entered from one ear and left through the other, Marisa gets on her tiptoes and quickly crashes her lips to mine, sucking on my bottom one. The act makes me freeze but I push her away with my hands tightly gripping her shoulders. "What the fuck is you problem?" "Brandon," she fo
BRANDON "Truth." I glare at her. She grins and I find everything wrong with this whole situation, it makes me uneasy and I don't know why. What the fuck is she playing at? "If you were told have sex or like kiss with Brandon." My head snaps to Lily but she keeps staring at Marisa. "In any diner's toilets, would you do it?" "Oh for fucks sake!" Jonathan says with annoyance lacing his tone. I look at Marisa, ready to pull her up and drag her out by the hair if I have to but she keeps smiling and then takes a sip of whisky. "Well, I wouldn't say no, I mean we actually-" "Marisa." I say through gritted teeth. She ignores my warning and keeps going, her eyes briefly moving to stare at something over my head. "We actually did it recently and I must say I enjoyed it quite a lot, so doing it again wouldn't be a bad idea." "Marisa!" I call out angrily and get to my feet. "What? She asked, I'm just playing the game." She shrugs her shoulders. "It's the truth anyway." She mumbles.
KIMBERLY"Do you have more?" I ask Matt and he smiles brightly."Actually, I do have extra."He holds out the small bag. When I try to take it, he holds it out of reach, making me frown."Uh uh, tsk tsk." "Matt.." I sigh. "Give it," I open my palm to him, wiggling my fingers.When he first suggested this idea, I almost hit him in the head, my exact words being, "Are you fucking crazy? I'm not turning to snow." Bashing people's heads has been a dangerous thought of mine lately, I need to get back in check. He was right when he said I would beg for them because, well, yeah, here I am, fighting for the powder I'm now getting addicted to. He's a clever bastard, in exchange of it and gummies, I need to spend time with him, one hour to be exact. Not more, not less. That's a small price to pay for pain for numbing. Besides, I like Matt, he's not as unbearable as I thought at first.The door opens and Sam stops at seeing us in the ladies' bathrooms together."Oh, hi Sam." Matt greets, and
BRANDONIt took everything I had in me not to follow her out last night when she watched me shoving my tongue down Lucy's throat. I wanted to run after her and tell her that I'm not fucking her, and that just fucking pissed me off, because I shouldn't want to reassure her when she fucking betrayed me by sleeping with that dipshit Matt. Everything in me still wants to remain loyal to her and it's messing with my brain cells.I should be buried deep in Lucy's cunt just to spite Kim but my stupid dick doesn't seem to go along with that idea, same as my still beating heart that's stitched up behind my ribcage from the damages Kim caused. Why can't i just completely forget about her? I realize that the more i want her, the more my hatred towards her goes up, and that's bad, very bad because it fuels my need to hurt her, to torment her. I run my hand down my face and let out a frustrated sigh.Opening the door to my Audi, i say my last goodbyes to my friends and then i get in tye car and d
KIMBERLYI pull my mini dress down as the ground sways beneath my feet. I manage to make my way up the set of stairs and glue my ass down on the leather sofa. Everyone is too busy to even pay attention to me being in a really pissy mood.I'm mad, so freaking mad. And I'm horny. I can't believe Brandon just left me high and dry. That piece of shit. He finally comes up and takes a seat exactly where he waw, but this time, Lucy doesn't sit in his lap.He pulls out his phone and starts typing something. I wonder if he has some other whore out there waiting on the sidelines for him to fuck whenever she wants because it wasn't hard to miss that he was hard back in the alley.Slowly, as if knowing I'm watching him, his eyes lift and lock with mine. I stop breathing. His eyes trail down my body, when they reach my thighs, he stops there and a deep fire burns behind his greens as if he's picturing being between them. Well, fine, im the one who's picturing him being between them.Fire lick bet
BRANDONShe throws back another shot, then her focus goes to her phone and she smiles. It must be that dipshit Matt, who's texting her. I shouldn't care, but the fact that she's with him somehow pisses me the fuck off even more. I watch her walk off and then come back. She settles on Michael's lap and takes a joint from him and my jaw tightens. When the fuck did she start doing weed?Or drink this much? I want to stop her but i don't have the right, it'll just make me look like i care, and i fucking don't. That's why I'm with Lucy. Kim's eyes meet mine and then they go to where my hands are on Lucy's skin. Heat flares in her eyes and she stands and makes her way to the dance floor as Or Nah starts playing. The moment i saw her walk into the club in that short dress, i wanted to chase her ass out of the club. It's too short that any man could easily grop her ass or pussy without her consent. My hand runs up Lucy's thigh while the other brings the glass of whiskey to my mouth, my eyes
KIMBERLY"Are you sure?" Sam asks, looking at me warily. I snicker and then roll my eyes."Oh, please, as if i haven't lived with the fact that he's now with that whore, for weeks."I lean closer to the mirror and add another layer of red lipstick to my lips and pucker them. When i notice how long silence has lingered in the atmosphere, i look at the person behind me through the mirror and see unasked questions behind her gaze."Sam.." i sigh, breaking eye contact and packing my makeup in my mini bag. I throw the chain over my shoulder and turn around, leaning against the counter to face her."I'm fine, okay. I'm cool with how my life has turned out, no need to make a big deal out of it. I mean, I'm not like you. Clinging to stupid shit that's...." i pause when i realize what the fuck i just said.Shit."Sam, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-""No," she cuts me off and shakes her head. "Go ahead, say it all Kim. Tell me how stupid my feelings are.""Sam." I push my hair back. I don't kno
KIMBERLY*Four Days Later*I'm flipping bacon and humming to a random song I heard playing on the radio in Naomi's car earlier when we just left the mall for a girls' shopping day, when Sam walks into the kitchen."Hey," she leans against the kitchen table."Hi," I reply, catching her scrolling through her phone and taking a huge bite off an apple. "So, I just saw this post on some girl's wall from campus, Jonathan is hosting a pool party tonight. What I'm surprised about, though, is the fact that we had no idea about it."I turn off the cooker and face her."A party, and we didn't get an invite?"That doesn't sound like Jonathan at all."We should gate crash," Nao says as she enters the kitchen. "I mean, no one would kick us out anyway.""She's right." Sam agrees. Nao walks to the fridge and pours herself some water in a cup and gulps it down. "We should go."She's been eating healthy lately, drinking too much water and exercising. Damn i love how hot her body looks.I think over t
KIMBERLYI calm myself down and Sally's mother walks in after."Sorry about that. Oh, you're done." She eyes the dishes."It's fine." I turn away from her so that she doesn't see my mess of a face."Thanks for the help. Let's join the others outside for some drinks.""Uh, I'll just use the bathroom and then I'll be right out.""Sure." She walks out of the house and i make my way to where she said the bathroom is.I fix my light makeup and it's hard to see that i just had a bad time, then i join the others outside. "Your home is really beautiful," i tell Samiel's mother and she smiles at me over her champagne flute."Oh, thank you, sweetie."Someone scoffs somewhere but i ignore it."So, Samiel.. I've always wondered what your type really is and i must say I'm really surprised to find out that it's the easy ones."Silence.Everyone goes silent."Excuse me?" Samiel finally speaks."I mean, you do hang out with the cute ones, but deciding to bring home a cheap one? Never would have thou
KIMBERLYI tightly grip the garden chair handles until my knuckles turn white. And then i slowly stand."Uncle Brandon!" The little girl jumps and he catches her in his arms, he smiles and i'm stuck in a trance. His smile."Hello, princess. How's my favorite niece doing?" He asks."Oh please, I'm your only niece. It fits that im your favorite because there's no competition. " She rolls her cute little eyes and everyone except me bursts out laughing."You're too smart for a four year old."I scan him slowly.Black long sleved shirt perfectly folded to the elbows with the first button undone and it's neatly tucked in black presses pants, dark hair perfect styled, black shoes and a silver relex secured around his wrist."Samiel brought a girl home!""Sally!" The girl's mother scolds. She's married to Samiel's oldest brother. The one vouching for Brandon's "girlfriend".My heart sinks at that reminder. He has a girlfriend already. My eyes move away from him to stare at anything but his ne
KIMBERLY"So, you're coming, right?"I walk around the office kitchen, making myself some coffee as Samiel watches me from across the room leaning against the wall with his arms folded over his chest and feet crossed at the ankles.I lean my hand on the table and pop my hip out while i wait for the coffee."I dont know, Samiel. It's a family gathering like you said, i don't want to intrude."He straightens to his full height and slowly walks to me, placing his hands on my shoulders, he leans to my eye level and fixes his eyes on me."I want you to come, you won't be bothering anyone because you are my friend. My family is cool so you have nothing to worry about, i promise."I sigh."Besides, my cousins will have their girlfriends there too, so why not bring my plus one as well."I smile."Are you trying to call me your girlfriend for the day, Nash?"His grin spreads wide."Do you want to be my girlfriend, Monoa?" He arches a brow and i roll my eyes, playfully punching him on the s
