I wait for Bobbie to say something, but she stays completely frozen for a while. As if lost in her own mind. Her scent is becoming anxious and worried. "Hey... if I could fuck you without repercussions, I would. You're for sure the hottest girl I ever seen," I continue and there's something insid
"This isn't school, Henry," Bobbie scoffs and rolls her eyes at me, "There are no rules here… right, Mr Wilbur?” "Right," my dad responds with the tiniest smile, "No rules." "But we always sit in the same place," I respond, narrowing my eyes at my dad. He's the one who started this when we were
{ Bobbie } I've never been good at faking my emotions or toning them down, but this time I force myself to. Because Henry is not obligated to like me, so I can't really crash out and have the tantrum I want to have. I need to be an adult and pretend this doesn't feel like death. Hugging him is
I never stopped liking him, but everything got distorted because we became so damn close over the years and he is such a good friend, my feelings were confused. Not to mention, he's kept me firmly in the friend zone all these years. He makes fun of my crush all the time and never gave me even the sl
Just when I’m finishing my set, my mom walks inside the center like a superhero I wasn’t expecting. She's wearing jean shorts and a red t-shirt with her long hair down and white sneakers. She looks like she could be my older sister because she’s that cute. And young, of course. Because she found her
It's been a looong time since I've spent time with my parents, just the three of us, so I milk it as much as I can. After eating at Moe's, I force my dad to ditch work so they can take me for a walk and an ice cream like back when I was their only child. And by the time we go pick up the twins from
{ Henry } I shift around the bed, uncomfortable. I decided to sleep on Bobbie's bed tonight. I mean, I won't spend an uncomfortable night with my brother when this bed is available. But being here is only making me feel worse about the situation with her. Bobbie is volatile and emotional, I can t
"Okay, Henny. See you later," she says and shoves me as a goodbye before walking away like normal, her hips swaying... and her jeans look really good today. Anyway, I need to get to my first class, so I start running to my building. ➿➿➿➿ The party is at some rich girl's house. It's huge and everyo
It takes me two seconds to move, but I get up and walk to him. He looks so handsome right now, wearing a crisp white button shirt with black dress pants and his hair styled the way I told him I liked it. And the way he's carrying those roses... yeah, I'd like a picture too. Good luck my mom is being
"Well, you fucked up by giving it to me so early," I laugh, "Even if we're together, I'll hide it for a while. I just don't want people all in our business asking why I let a boy mark me without a ring on my finger like a dirty whore." "Oh, shut up," he says, rolling his eyes and chuckling, "As if
I blink, still unable to believe this is even happening. “That means putting a pause on you being ‘single’,” he continues after a few seconds, “I know I haven’t earned any rights to you, what I’m asking for is the fair chance to get those rights. And if possible, clear instructions from time to ti
I sigh as I look at him, still nervous. "So I ruined your control when I figured out I was in love with you," I say. Henry takes a deep breath and nods, "But we're not kids anymore, Henry. So why did you reject me? I just don't... I don't think you 'liking me' is enough. What I feel for you goes b
I am listening. I mean, I'm still too confused to do anything other than listen. Henry opens his mouth but doesn't get a chance to say anything because my friends are trying to come back inside. "I said fuck off," he repeats, reaching to lock the door, "Go to your stupid party or whatever, then yo
"I noticed… hell, I asked for it," I admit, sighing and going to my closet to grab something. They follow me, demanding to know, "I asked him to pretend the last month didn't happen. I realized I liked my life more before, with the way we were. I just have to... slowly fall in love with another man.
Only ten minutes later, Bobbie comes into the kitchen and she starts helping me. We don't say anything about the bathroom situation. "Mags and Tams are sleeping over tomorrow," she lets me know as I'm driving to uni. I try to hide my annoyance, unsuccessfully, "They despise you too, now more than
Now I know how is like to touch her, to kiss her and fuck her for real, not as a dumb kid. Now my wolf is involved. Now I know what I'm missing and I want it back. ➿➿➿➿ For two days, we go back one month ago before the clusterfuck of feelings. We go to school, we go to work, we hang out with
"You haven't been doing things right, Henry. And I'm disappointed in you. If you love her... show her. Say it. It won't make you less of a man or whatever you think. She needs to hear it and see it, do you get that? It's not enough to just feel it, speak up." Damn. I gulp and nod. "Exactly what
