The body-rocking kiss ended only when they had lost their breaths, it was rough, wanting, and caring at the same time, he didn't want to redraw away from her, and neither did she.

Her hands were around his neck and on his hard chest, she watched him watch her for every swell of her chest, every flutter of her eyes he was mesmerized by her. She didn't say a word for fear that it could ruin everything and she would fall back into a sickening reality.

The kiss had answered so many questions for her. Why was she there in his home in the first place, why she was letting him help her, and lastly why did she end up in his arms every single time?

She wanted to be around him all the time, she felt safe around him, hell she felt a lot of things about him already but she'd yet to place a label on it

    Ever sat quietly and then it drowned on you, your life didn't have much meaning? That you didn't know where it was taking you, that you seriously didn't understand your life? It happens sometimes to some people, that's why we shouldn't judge others. Jade felt it as she sat hugging her legs with her back against her bedboard.She'd not slept a wink last night, just trying to understand herself, she tried to retrace all she'd been doing all the eighteen and a half years of her life and couldn't find a spot to drop her anchor. There weren't any remarkable events for her, something like a big birthday party she enjoyed, or a good badge in the church, not even a silver medal in the commonest of sports nothing.All she was good at was getting straight A's and getting kicked on. She didn't even have a strong relationship with her parents like she thought she had and her sister's behavior was still a stunner. Yes hadn't been the bonding type and everyone gave her space. Maybe even too much

    He missed her a little too much at this point which was too early, but it didn't matter all he knew was he was driving towards Melrose Avenue to see her, she wasn't picking up her calls so calling her was useless, and that was why he decided he would go to her. His SUVs made a good sight in the street he knew and maybe it was too extravagant to visit her with huge cars he didn't care, he wanted gates to open when he got there, and better truth, that's what money did.Two blocks to her street he slowed down, a cloth hugging a mannequin caught his eye, the long-sleeved cropped blouse was perfectly what he wanted to see on her, and those big ripped jeans just the way she liked it, but with a little more styling, he chuckled deep. He signaled his men and then turned into the parking lot of the building, he got out and tossed the keys to one man signaled another to follow him. Minutes later he tucked his hands back in his jeans with a smirk on his face. He had a present for her and he lo

    It was all foreign and wild and so unlike her, but she was still going ahead with it. She knew her parents were stunned. She had never been one to do things the other way around. Never. She mentally blamed it all on Adrian, but then she made her choice, not him. He made the offer and she ran to his waiting arms on her own.They sped past palm trees and beautiful sites she couldn't help but smile at it all it was a surprise outing, and it felt good to be a few miles away from home and out with him, it felt sorting. Her quiet life was starting to get interesting. He held her hand in his and kissed it."Want to get a better view?" he asked. She nodded her head dutifully. She wasn't aware he'd been watching her at the time. She warmed at the idea that she'd come across his mind. He pressed a finger on a car button, and the windows slid down smoothly. Beautiful fingers she thought then blushed to herself they always looked good, everything about him did, she thought.She stared out throug

    When she woke up, she was still in Adrian's arms and this time they weren't in the carWhen she woke up, her head was on his lap, and his scent filled her nostrils. She smiled a familiar smile, she was getting used to this and she was loving it way too much, she felt hands in her hair, was doing something with her hair and it felt ticklish and sorting.With a light sound of approval, she grabbed his hand and turned to face him, Her fuzzy sight didn't make out his face properly, but she saw his pretty startled face and also felt his little jump he didn't know she was awake."W-what are you d-doing? He smiled at her " Am I busted?" He entwined their hands. "Obviously" she let out a sigh. Turning properly so she had her face up this time looking at his their eyes met and he raked his hand in her hair with his free hand. "You beautiful" She ignored it"What have you done to my hair?" His cheeks colored a bit"Just made it prettier.." He made two braids in her hair and he was thumbing the

    Now that they had sorted things between them in a way, he could kiss her on the mouth a good morning kiss to wake her up and she was okay with it. She wrapped her hand around his neck as he deepened his kiss.She didn't mind his little disturbance. After they both whispered good mornings to each other, she placed her head on his chest and they both lay in a peaceful silence, as he combed through her locks with his hand. "You remember today is our last prom right?" He asked. "I do" she replied. "Don't you want to wear a dress, look pretty and dance in the lights?" "No!" She replied uninterested."Why princess?" he urged"I'm not one for dresses and parties you should know, besides, who would I dance with?""Me" he replied" I would rather not, besides, they'd rather I didn't attend." she knew most of them hated her more than before.

Jade signalled him to keep watch while she left to find the kitchen.She looked like an expensive snack so getting directions wasn't hard at all. She searched the cupboard for ketchup she found it and some oil too, just when she was about to turn she hit someone in the chest."Good Lord" her heart hammered in her chest. He was too hard, her head hurt from the impact it had on his chest, good thing her items didn't fall or spill.The guy was tall Adrian was taller, too hard Adrian was a mixture of hard and soft.Those green eyes were okay though."Whacha doing with those eh?

He continued to sip his coffee, looking outside, he didn't turn to look. Was he expecting someone? Maybe she wasn't sure. "I do not agree that you be discharged so soon, you are so stubborn, why?" He asked. "Got a phone call from the hospital, i took you there, so it was normal for them to inform me you were being discharged."

    Her heart rammed into its cage "Princess?" She turned around and jumped back. The voice was unfamiliar, and the face was more unfamiliar. She had never seen him before, who was he and why was he calling her princess not to mention he was standing way too close to her."Who are you?" She asked. The man was rough and his smile matched his appearance, he needed a toothbrush. What was he doing there? He didn't look like a worker on the estate and even if he was, he wouldn't be walking around by this time of the night and he didn't look like a server either all the servers had uniforms on. His beard needed a desperate cut, he looked like he'd had no shaving for weeks. His eyes looked reddish in general he looked dangerous in a very bad way. A lot of thoughts were running through her mind and his black hood did nothing to ease her thoughts. "Let go of me!" She ripped her hand away but he snatched it back.

    Ashton's lake house looked pretty expensive and it was huge. Spread over four acres and with wonderful water views, the estate had a lake house, a large pool, and a terrace with outdoor dining space. There are seven bedrooms, a cinema, and a games room and the property is only accessible through the lake. The house was simply luxurious with huge glass doors and walls. There were patio heaters around, some standing stainless steel heaters that ran on propane, lounge chairs arranged to the sides with blankets, another corner was decorated with booze and also a round wooden table with at least fifteen chairs stood at one corner with a chess board and some other games and a DJ crew had been invited and fresh towels lay on a table for people who would want to take a deep in the water.A party was the last place she wanted to be but her friends would have none of it.

    Maybe it was the aftermath of his heart break? Maybe that was why he was being a little reckless here and there but she still knew it was her fault mostly or maybe entirely and every time she thought about him it still hurt. What was worse he wasn't even looking at her anymore even when they crossed parts. They'd entirely became strangers in a very short time and she had a reputation that she'd well earned. Xi had been more than a comfort through the breakup process, always bringing her flowers and being extra sweet and all but she didn't feel the same warmth in her stomach and she didn't feel the butterflies exploding at the sight of him or when he laughed, it wasn't the art she was used to and it didn't tug at her heart strings.How she'd manage to screw up things with someone who had done nothing but love her she couldn't explain. She had let herself get caught up in the socializing thing and being popular and being seen, he was right when he said she had changed but despite the r

She strolled to her mirror desk observed her face and peeled the half moon masks underneath her eyes, it did a nice job and she had no dark circles but she had a headache so she headed down to the kitchen. She slapped a few chests on the way until she got to the kitchen. It was empty but more cleaner than usual, she heard he'd been cleaning the kitchen more often, he was a neat guy no arguments. She popped a pill in her mouth and shut the drawer. When she turned around he was standing there shirtless in front of the coffee machine. The muscles on his back were tight and hot, so hot and his pants hung low on his hips. He always looked like a model whether it was in the middle of the day or he just woke up from bed. Damn him!Then she remembered who he'd gone out of the p

    Just like every other party, the house was filled with dancing bodies, the music was loud and the spirits were high, they pushed through the crowd and headed to the drinks. Tony handed him his own glass of booze and they down it together, and after two more they wiped their mouth with the back of their hand."Let's do this man." Tony's eyes scanned the crowd and it wasn't long before he found something interesting. "He squeezed his shoulder a little and pointed a brown skinned lady, she wore a short red skirt and a somewhat white colored crop top, her long legs were complimented by the heels she wore and the skirt hugged her ass in a nice way. "Nice taste!" He nodded approvingly. "I'll be back Tony signaled, then he headed for the hot girl. Soon the drinks section was filling up as the girls seemed to magnet towards him.

    The news flew quickly and everyone was talking about the guy who punched Xie at his own party, and ever since then Tony and his guys stuck very close to him. It meant to the other guys that he was one of them although he wasn't. Tony suggested it was a good cover and so he didn't fight on the matter.They were more like brothers to him now, he often sat around with them and sometimes he contributed to the conversations and jokes.In school it seemed like books were the last thing they were there to study, you had to study people, learn how to live with them, keeping a social life, keeping your good health intact and finding balance.He raked two muscular hands in his over grown hair, he didn't have his hair cut in three months now, it was over grown and past his shoulders now and it was giving him the Mombios look of a tough guy.
