It was Friday already, and I was waiting for the rest of the group so we could all go and watch the latest X-Men movie. I still felt a little awkward about going out with a bunch of hockey players. I wondered if any of them knew I’d hated them silently earlier, before I started dating Elijah?Elijah had told me we could make it a date and sit separately from his friends, though, which made me feel so much less anxiety.My classes ended earlier in the day, but Elijah had one in the afternoon, so after my class, I ended up in my dorm room, waiting. Logan and Dana both got lucky, and they were out doing whatever, they would meet up with the rest of the group later.As I waited for Elijah, I sat at my desk and studied. Just because I was dating someone and got to go out more than I stayed in now didn’t mean I could be lax in my studies. My mom was going through a lot of trouble to pay my tuition because it was the school I’d always wanted to go to. Somehow, I wanted to pay her back, and I
I listened to my friends chattering, feeling both relieved and anxious. Relieved, because they were talking so much they were covering for the fact that I barely said a thing about the movie. I couldn’t say what it was about if I tried. Sure, there were some explosions and fight scenes, but they bored me so much that I fell asleep, I wasn’t sure how much of the movie I watched. I was lucky because Sophia didn’t take a single glance at me throughout the whole movie to see just how bored I was, but she still caught me sleeping.That right there was the basis of my anxiety. Also because Sophia was looking at me oddly instead of following the conversation. She should have wanted to, but maybe she was onto me.Shit.“Hey, guys!”I looked around at Dana’s voice, feeling relieved again to see her and Logan, probably for the first time. She could distract Sophia.“We were thinking of going out to eat before we head back,” Logan said. “Who wants to come with? Just a heads up, everyone better h
When we got up the next morning, everything was fine between us. Sophia got onto me about leaving so many marks for her to hide, but she was glowing the entire time, looking like she was trying to hide a smile even as she complained and glared at me. I was all apologetic.Then, we parted ways. And I started to panic again.Shit!Last night was enough to tell me, that Sophia would find out about my lies sooner or later. Even when she was only suspecting, I could feel her withdrawing from me. I was sure if she found out, she’d be pissed, more than I’d ever seen before, but it wasn’t like I couldn’t tell she had a bit of a temper.It was Friday, and I only had one class in the morning, so I prepared for it, then left the dorm. I met up with Logan just outside the class and suddenly had an idea. Not a bright one, but I was desperate. He hadn't even noticed me yet, this wide, stupid grin on his face as he texted on his cell. I guessed he was talking with Dana.“Hey, Logan!”He looked up fr
I pulled my cell out of my purse as I stopped in front of the hotel. I double-checked I had the right place, then walked up the front steps and inside. I looked around the lobby, but didn’t see the person I was looking for, so I made a call.“Mom? I’m in the hotel lobby, and I don’t see you. Did you come down already?”“Sorry, honey! I was a little busy with something, let me come down. Stay close to the entrance, and I’ll come to you, don’t move around, okay?”I rolled my eyes. “I’m a grown up, Mom, I think I can handle getting around just fine on my own.”“Whatever you say. Stay put.”She hung up, and I stood to the side of the entrance, so I wasn’t in the way and waited. I saw her the moment she appeared in the lobby, but I waited for her to come to me because of her earlier comment. Mom just looked amused.“Hey, honey,” she said, pulling me into a hug.I rolled my eyes but hugged her back. “Didn’t you tell me you’d be coming in a couple of weeks? You could have warned me you were
My eyes landed on the table of four, where my dad and two other women sat. The woman that sat beside him, holding his hand on top of the table looked to be in her early forties. She was pretty, with dark hair and dark eyes, and she looked familiar for some reason.“Elijah!” Dad said, looking up at me with a grin and a wave. “And we weren’t waiting for you; we haven’t been here that long ourselves. Get over here; there’s a couple someone’s I want you to meet.”I walked over, my eyes falling to the third person at the table. I’d figured out Dad’s relationship with the other woman. By the way, they were holding hands, they were obviously together. Was the girl the woman’s daughter?“So, who’s the one that I’m supposed to meet today?” I asked, meeting my dad’s grin with one of my own.“Your new step-mom,” he said. “And her daughter.”I arched an eyebrow, then looked down where they still had their hands clasped on the table, and I saw the ring on her finger.“Oh,” I murmured.I was surpri
I left the café and that hotel without a second look back. No one came after me, neither Elijah nor my mom, and I couldn’t tell whether I was disappointed or not. What I did know, was that I needed space right then, so a part of me was relieved.The hotel was a bit of a distance from the school, so I had to hail a cab. I just barely had the funds to handle it, and it would have been cheaper to take the bus, but the next bus wouldn’t be moving for a while, and I didn’t want to wait around at the bus stop until then.I didn’t know if I was going to break down or not, but just in case, I wanted to do it while I was alone.The ride back, I looked out the window and refused to think about anything. There was too much to think about, anyway, and I felt like I would go crazy if I just let it all spin around in my head. When we got back, the driver had to catch my attention to get me to move and pay up; I was so preoccupied.I nearly ran all the way to my dorm. There were a few people out and
I hadn't spoken to Sophia for the last few days, but I still felt fucking restless because of it. I saw her around campus, but when she caught sight of me, she would hurry off in the opposite direction. She was a sprinter that was for sure.It hurt, just a little bit.Even Logan was happy in his own love life, noticed when I started acting miserable. Then, he saw Sophia’s avoidance routine.“Dude, what the fuck happened between the two of you?” he asked me on Wednesday as we made our way to class, watching Sophia’s back as she hurried off a distance from us. “Don’t tell me you told her in the end, because that’s stupid of you.”I sighed. “It wasn’t that, do you think things would be like this between us? This shit doesn’t have anything to do with me. Well, I can't say it has nothing to do with me, but I’m only distantly related to it!”Logan just frowned at me. “Dude, speak English. I didn’t get any of that.”I sighed again and trudged forward. “Let’s get to class and sit down, I’ll t
I was the one that had been avoiding him like crazy. But, it was bugging me that he wasn’t making the effort to connect with me. I watched Elijah’s back move further and further away as he left the restaurant at the hotel, with me, my mom and his dad all still seated and eating.At that moment, I didn’t have the courage to reach out to him. Because our parents were there, and I didn’t know if I could control myself with all four of us seated at the same table. So, I decided to ignore Elijah, instead, but I just ended up making him mad. I didn’t think I even had the right to reach out to him, and it had hurt.I really messed up this time. It had been a few days already. I got the message from Mom telling me where they were at. They’d wait for us before deciding on living arrangements, but that was the last thing on my mind.I’d tried contacting Elijah a few times, even searching him out, and he’d ignored me. Just like I avoided him, now it was my turn to be treated badly and it fucking
LucaAll the drama surrounding the Sext Me line died down. Natalia refused to tell me how she did it, but it meant we didn’t have to worry about people staring and murmuring about us as we moved around campus together.The rest of my final year in college was uneventful. There was only one more surprise, and it came from Dad.When I was worried about getting funds from part-time jobs to keep me up, after he’d paid all my tuition, he sent me money and told me not to worry about working, just hurry up and graduate, then find a proper job.I’d wondered where all the money came from, and he answered when I ask, despite what I thought. His business venture took off. Like, really took off. While he didn’t become a millionaire overnight, he was definitely nouveau riche.It was the day of graduation, after I’d already gone up and received my degree, I saw him. I stood with Natalia, who’d also invited her mom. I wasn’t sure how to react, and immediately, turned to look at Natalia and Tina, but
A few weeks passed. Mom refused to do anything about Greg. Luca had told me he’d found his dad, but because Mom didn’t want to, I left it alone. I could only steam about it.I woke up one morning to my phone ringing. I heard a groan from beside me, before Luca shifted around and grabbed the phone.“It’s your mom, Natalia,” he mumbled, still half asleep. I blinked my eyes open and took the phone, then slid out of bed so I wouldn’t bother him. Mom already knew about us since I’d told her we were seeing each other a couple weeks back, but she didn’t know we were this close already. It had both surprised and delighted me when she was happy for me, unconditionally.“Hey, Mom?” I said, covering a yawn. “What is it?”“Honey, why do you sound so tired? Did I catch you at a bad time?”It wasn’t all that early in the morning, but Luca and I had been up late last night, and I felt exhausted. Only, it was the good kind of exhausted that came after long, fun rounds of fulfilling sex. Of course, t
It was a Friday when her mom came to the school, and since she’d already skipped her morning classes, Natalia decided to go back home with her Mom. I wandered back to my dorm room, feeling dejected. Classes were still ongoing, so I was thankful I didn’t have to deal with Casey when I got back to the dorm. I plopped down on my bed, rolled onto my back and threw my arms over my eyes.“Dammit, Dad,” I muttered.He’d actually gone and done it. I had known, but perhaps, deep inside of me, I hadn't really thought he would go through with it. But he actually ran away with Tina’s money. With Natalia’s Mom’s money.My dad was a criminal.Fuck!On the same day I found out, I should have told Tina instead of wavering, no matter what he said. If only I hadn't been selfish in that critical moment, I wouldn’t have excused myself from the table. Instead, I would have sat down and told Tina exactly what Dad told me, even with him sitting right there glaring at me.I’d certainly feel better than I did
I paced anxiously around the room, phone clutched in my hands.“Natalia…,” Luca said my name with a sigh.I shot a quick look at him, but he didn’t tell me to sit down. The guilty expression was still there on his face. I didn’t suddenly hate him, though. I was madder at myself than him, or I would have kicked him out of my room instead of letting him spend the night. Although it had been the first time we’d spent in bed together without anything sexual happening, I wasn’t in the right frame of mind to appreciate it.“Why isn’t she here yet?” I muttered. “She said she’d leave early, so she should have arrived already. Dammit, I’m skipping classes for this.” I turned to him and gave him a weak smile. “You’re a senior, you know. You could have just gone ahead.”Luca shook his head as he stood up. He came over to me, tentatively raising his arms as if worried I would push him away. He’d been acting cautiously around me since yesterday, and I could have told him not to bother, but if I ha
A few days passed, and each day only grew better. Natalia was back in my life. Our previous relationship had resumed as if we’d never stopped, and I couldn’t be happier. Only, it was even better now, because I knew now that as crazy I was about Natalia, she felt the same way about me.We were officially dating now.“Look at you, being so happy. You and your girlfriend finally made up, huh?”I was seated outside with some friends having sandwiches for lunch. I ignored their teasing as I typed a reply to a text Natalia sent me, She was eating with her friends as well. Still, I couldn’t help feeling smug, because while I would have had to correct them before, now it was true that I’d made up with my girlfriend.Natalia wasn’t my first girlfriend, but I still wore a goofy smile every time I thought about her.“Hey, come on! Don’t ignore us when we’re right here. Did you two make up or not?”Casey, my roommate, snickered. “Oh, he definitely had plenty of fun ‘making up’ with his girlfriend
I laid my head down on Luca’s shoulder, and breathed shakily into his neck. My whole body trembled, and I had a feeling, if he put me down, my legs wouldn’t be able to hold me up. Not when my thighs shook, and it was hard enough just to hold on.As the aftershocks from the orgasm died down, I could feel the drowsiness set in. I fought against it, blinking my eyes several times. Then, Luca shifted a little, and I gasped, then let out a moan as his cock, still half hard inside me, shifted with the movement. Luca let out a curse, then carefully pulled his hips back, keeping his arms tight around me, until his cock spilled out of me. I desperately needed of a shower, but I didn’t want to leave just yet.After a long while, Luca sighed and pecked me on the forehead.“That bastard is going to be back eventually,” he murmured. “Let’s not give him anything to gawk at, hmm?”I paused for a moment, before carefully nodding.“I don’t think I can walk just yet, though,” I said quietly, my voice
It had been two weeks. Two long weeks where I didn’t even get to see Natalia, so when she kissed me and I had her in my arms again, it was like a dream. I couldn’t hold back, as I wrapped my arms around her and brought her in for another kiss, this one longer, deeper. She whimpered against my lips, and my arms tightened reflexively around her.“Natalia,” I breathed her name against her lips. I wanted to kiss her again, but as she panted for breath her chest pushed against mine, and I groaned in need. I wanted to feel more of her. “Damn, Natalia.”She initiated the kiss again and kept her arms wrapped around my neck to hold me close as she took the lead. Natalia nibbled on my lips, nudged them apart with her tongue, tasted me inside. I sucked lightly on her tongue and felt her weight settle even more against me.“I’m not sure I can stay standing if we do this,” she breathed out.I paused, but only for a moment. Then, I was walking her backward until her back hit the door. I loved the w
It was late in the afternoon by the time arrived back at campus. I wanted to find Luca quickly, but I wasn’t sure where to go and search. Would he be in his room? Or out? I thought about calling him before I decided not to out of shame. It took me two weeks to finally build up the courage to try and call him.What would I do if he didn’t pick up my call? It had been days since he last tried to contact me.It was a busy time on the campus. People were walking around, either coming in from activities they’d done outside or going out to have fun. Since it was the weekend, a lot of students did stuff like going to the movies, going out to eat or to sightsee. I noticed a few people look at me as they passed me, but ignored it as I looked around, wondering where I should start to look. Maybe I should start with the dorms, Luca was surprisingly not the kind of guy that liked going out much…Then, I heard it.“Hey, isn’t that her? The girl that’s with that Sext Me guy?”I overheard the two gi
When I got back to the dorms, I did exactly as Luca suggested I should do. I completely ignored everything, including the fact that I still had classes that day. I didn’t even change my clothes, just got underneath my covers and closed my eyes. I don’t know when I fell asleep.I woke up hours later. The room was already dark, but not the pitch black that would mean it was night time. It was around six in the evening when I checked the time on my phone. My stomach rumbled when I realized I felt a little hungry. Luckily, tomorrow was Saturday and I could be as lazy as I wanted to be. I didn’t want to go out, just in case I walked into someone I didn’t want to see right then, two people in particular, but I really was hungry. So, I used the bathroom and then went out to buy something I could take with me back to the dorms. When I got back, I ate quickly before getting right back into bed. It took longer to fall asleep this time, but I didn’t have anywhere to go.When I woke up on Saturd
