KIMBERLY"What the hell are you doing here?" Xan asks Andrew"I'm part of the team.""No. Not anymore,you're out.""What the fuck did you do to her?" Brandon growls."I told her the truth." Andrew says"What the fuck are you talking about?" Bran steps closer"She knows Brandon, it's over.""What's going on?" Sam asks confused"Hey.." Brandon tries to touch me and I move away, turning to face him. He frowns"Why are you crying? Did he-""Yes." I cut him off "I know the truth, how could you do this to me? I gave myself to you, I trusted you." Tears keep rolling down my cheeks"What are you talking about?"He's still pretending?"I shouldn't have trusted you.""Kim.." he tries to touch me but I slap his hand away"No! Don't touch me! How could you Brandon? How could you do this to me?" I yell"How could you stalk me,frighten me and traumatize me like that?!"His expression switches from confused to realization. What? So.."Why did you do it?! Why?!" I sob placing a hand on my aching ches
BRANDON"That day you were in your room,I went there to check if you were safe,that's when I saw you and couldn't help myself. You were so beautiful, sexually frustrated,I promised myself to give you the pleasure you seemed so desperately in need of, I wanted to see how beautiful you looked when you came over and over again. I've never seen something so beautiful."She swallows."So, that's why the following and the cornering stopped."" Andrew." She whispers to herself."What did you just say?""Huh? Nothing.""Andrew? So I was right after all.""What do you mean?""I chased him that same night,I knew he was an athlete judging by his strategy and speed. Thats when he must have taken those pictures.""Sam said something similar.""What do you mean?" I ask"She said Andrew loves photography and she once caught him flashing his phone at me.""Has he ever touched you?" I ask with calm pretence"Yes, several times. He's sexually assaulted me and bruised me.""The fuck?"I abruptly stand,th
"Mom please..hear me out."She shakes her head"I love Bran, I love him so much. I know I hurt Ronan and I regret it but I don't regret choosing Brandon. I'd choose him over and over again.""What if he's using you Kim? How long have you known him,four months?""With love,time doesn't matter. I know it,I feel it, it's Brandon mom,it'll always be Brandon."She stares at me for long seconds."You're going to get hurt. That boy is the opposite of Ronan.""I know." I whisper,my eyes focusing on my hands."Ronan is the right guy for you Kim,this..thing you have going on with that Brandon is just a phase.""Ronan isn't the same anymore mom,he has changed,he's violent and out of control,he even threatened Sam." I lift my eyes"Well with everything you've done to him I wouldn't blame him.""Mom. I just said he threatened and hurt Sam." I frown"Samantha has always been against you two,I get where he's coming from.""I can't believe you're saying this.""I won't justify your wrongs Kim. That b
BRANDONI rush toward Andrew and before I reach him he presses a sharp knife at Kim's neck"Move again and I'll slit her throat,it would be a shame because this throat is very very delicious."He licks her neck and tears start flowing down her cheeks again.I lift my hands in surrender"Don't do it." I grit out"You thought, you seriously thought you could defeat me?"He smirks,looks at Kim then back at me."She's mine." He squeezes her cheeks and kisses her on the lips,his eyes never leave mine. Smart"Get.your hands.off her.""Tsk tsk. You don't get to tell me what to do."He unties her legs and drags her up by the arm,her hands are still bound behind her back."Brandon." She whimpersHe presses the knife deeper into her skin,a dot of red appears, her fucking blood. She winces."Let her go,name whatever you want and it's yours. Just let her go.""I want you life in return.""Fine you have it.""Brandon..no!" She cries"Take me,take me and let her go."He laughs "Wow, so fast. You
KIMBERLYLydia told me to feel at home here. My mother came to see me,she said Killian is back home so I refused to go there,I don't want to scare or make him cry because of me. When I heal better I'll go back home.I take out a bottle of orange juice and place it on the counter. I try to reach for a glass but fail,my leg still hurts."Crap. Why won't you just-""Let me." A hand passes on top of my head grabbing the glass for me."There." he speaksI turn to face Ronan."Hey beautiful." He smiles down at me, I get uncomfortable at his endearment"Uh hi."He pours the juice for me and hands me the glass, I take it and avoid eye contact as much as possible"Kimberly, you don't need to get uncomfortable around me you know.""I just..I can't help it Ronan. You've changed so much.""You're the one who changed Kim,you're the one who cheated and left me.""You cheated first.""But you did it with my step-brother.""Ronan.." I sigh tired of the same conversation"You'll never forgive me will
KIMBERLYHe pulls down my shorts. I grab my panties in a steel hold"Stop being stubborn, I told you I get to eat and fuck my pussy any time I want.""And I said no." I keep glaring, he stares at me with hard narrowed eyes. Brandon hates it when I tell him no,last time he stuffed his tongue in me in the library corner, I literally had to bite a book cover to stop myself from moaning loud.He grabs the front of my panties and my eyes widen"No." I shake my head and he smirks"Told you baby,easy way or hard way." Then he rips my panties making me gasp. My pussy hurts with the roughness of the material slicing through me.He cups my pussy and then drags his middle finger up my slit.Making me shiver"Bran..no.""This. Is mine." He presses on my clit and start rubbing slowly. My back arches off the bed.He moves his finger to my entrance circling slowly.My insides starts thumping "Mmm.." I writhHe teases me for a full minute and I start to shake, his mouth is closer to mine. "but t
KIMBERLYMy heart thumps against my chest. I whirl around so fast that my hair slaps across my face. I sigh in relief when I see it's just Sam."Goddamnit Sam! Give me that!" I reach for my phone but she keeps it out of reach, blocking me with her back and elbow."Sam." When I move to the side she moves too"Ugh, Sam, respect my privacy."She turns around and flashes the phone at me"So this is why you're currently obsessed with this machine?""Give me that."I snatch the phone from her hand and she lets me."I'm still mad at the poetry crap."She hikes a hand on her hip"That's just so weird,who replies worried texts with poetry." She laughs"It's not funny Sam."She stops and clears her throat,"Right. It's not but it's also rude to leave people hanging. Let's go back."I blow out a breath"Okay."We head back.I sit with the guys in the morning, they kicked out everyone at exactly midnight.Sam groans from her position on the floor"My head hurts...""Well it wouldn't be if you'd
BRANDONFuck!Fucking hell!I punch the wall in my bedroom countless times until I see blood stain it.I don't even feel the burn in my bruised knuckles"She chose him. She fucking chose him over me." I whisper and pummel my fist into the wall for the last time.I've tried everything, everything to use as an outlet for these emotions but there's zero to fucking nothing.The scene that happened in front of me was my worst fucking nightmare, still is because I can see it replaying every fucking time.I jog down the steps and grab a bottle of whiskey placing it on the table, I brace my hands on the wood and hang my head between my shoulder blade swinging my body back and forth slowly,I lift my head and stare at the bottle for three good minutes. Well,fuck it.I open it and rapidly drink directly from it without stopping until it's half finished, I want the burn,I want the pain. I wince at the last minute. I repeat the same procedure until it's completely finished."Well..." I cock my hea
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
KIMBERLYWe reach the door to the apartment and i turn around at the door step, watching Matt closely. I run my hand through my hair as more silence lingers between us. The cold air makes me breathe properly, it started to get too much in the club back there. My phone starts ringing but i ignore it. Whoever it is, i can get back to them when I'm tucked into the comfort of my room."Again, I'm glad you invited me."I smile."No problem, besides, you always invite me but after the whole internship, we haven't spent time together.""Yeah," he says.I'm still not over how he dragged me out of the club, so i decide to ask."Matt, back there. What was really wrong?"My phone starts ringing again, but i ignore it, again.He steps closer and i hold my breath when he places his hand on my cheek."It's nothing you need to be concerned about, i promise." He says softly. "But -"The ringing interrupts me again. Crap, who the heck is it. "Are you not going to get that?" He tips his head at
KIMBERLY"Yeah?" I whisper back."Yeah," his lips skim my flesh, then he nibbles down on my earlobe. He pops the button of my shirt open and then his fingers sprawl over my stomach. He plays with the edge of my bra and turns me around in his grip, then his mouth is on mine. A song by G Eazy about Bad Girls plays in the background as i drown in his tense kiss. I finally pull back and shout over the music."I need a beer."He nods and then pulls me off the dance floor. I pin the two buttons of my shirt and sit on a stool at the counter. He orders our drinks and slides my cup towards me, thanking him, i take a sip.We chat for a few minutes when his phone vibrares, he takes it out and frowns when he sees whoever's name that flashes on the screen. "Is everything okay?" I ask."Yeah, i just need to take this call, it's important.""Sure," i say and watch him make his way through the crowd and out."Your boyfriend?" Samiel asks. He leans his back against the counter, staring straight at
KIMBERLYTwo weeks since i last saw or spoke with Brandon. I think silence is the best thing rather than getting rejection from him. I heard he's doing well, always out and happy like nothing happened. He's taking over his family business like he wanted. As for me, one can tell that a major turn has taken place in my life. We haven't heard from Marisa either, i heard she went back to New York, what we are not certain of is if she's gone for good or will return.Xander being the best friend he is to both of us has been offering double support, i thought he would shut me out because when it comes down to utter loyalty where me amd Bran are made to stand in front of him, it will be Brandon, always. Brandon is his ride or die.Sam and Nao have been my constant support too and i really thank God for their existence in my life, don't get me wrong, i love Sam to death and she's the Yin to my Yang, but Nao has been the most biggest support i could ever need.She's the one keeping me togeth
KIMBERLY "Is it true?"Brandon's eyes meet mine unblinking. My gaze snaps to Matt, who has a split bottom lip and blood on his wound. I see it in his facial expression, the answer to my invoiced question. "You told him?" It's a whisper but audible to everyone around us. I step forward and push at Matt's chest. "You told him?" I yell, my hands fly everywhere, slapping him on his chest, face, until I'm being pulled back. I shove away from Xander while yelling at Matt. "You had no fucking right.""You fucked him." Statement, not a question. I turn to face Brandon with a blurry vision and tears wetting my cheeks."Bran..." my voice cracks. He briefly closes his eyes and I can see all the pain splashed across his face. When he opens his eyes, they nolonger look at me the same. They're broken, empty and drained.I see it, in this exact moment, I see that I'm losing him."I'm sorry..."He turns and slams his fist in the nearest wall. The blow is so hard i flinch. His back heaves fast
KIMBERLYI do a little twirl in the mirror and a bright smile spreads across my face.When I found a gift box for me with the words "you'll look perfect in this tonight," written across it, I beamed, then I lifted the dress and it turned out to be something so pretty.Its thin straps are really smooth and comfortable, and the flare it has around my hips makes me look adorable. It's tight at the top with wave designs on the chest lining, mid thighed, and plain purple. Grabbing a purple scrunchie, I tie my hair in a high ponytail, it's grown so long recently and I can't bring myself to trim it.Applying a layer of thick lip gloss and brushing my eyeslashes with mascara, I draw winged eyeliner and apply some dust of blush on my cheeks.The fact that I'm admiring myself so much right now makes me all squeally. I grab my purse and throw the chain around over my shoulder, and then pull out my phone to take a few pics in the mirror in different positions. After flipping through and choosing
BRANDON"That's suspicious as hell, since when did the two become friends?" Xander asks."My question too. Something isn't right, i know it's none of our business but there's just something that doesn't sit right with me.""Maybe you need to keep an eye on them.""My though exactly. But they don't need to know I'm doing it or else they'll be wary.""Then get Jonathan to do it, he's good at that shit.""Yeah, I think that will work."* * *I slam the door to my car shut and carry out the bags of groceries I decided to get for my mother.Walking in with a smile when I hear chattering, my face drops when I spot Marisa seated on a chair at the dining table. She stands when she sees me.Martha appears from the kitchen carrying a bowl of food in her hands. She pauses when her eyes find me then she slowly sets the bowl on the table."Brandon." She smiles."Brandon?" I hear my mother question from the other room. A few seconds later, she comes into the room."Sweetie, what a surprise." She l
