2024-10-29 19:42:56We reached a small burger joint which was a bit far from the school and it was not that much crowded except for some adults.
"Are you sure we can make it back to school in time?" I asked, looking down at my watch.
"Of course and it's not that big of a deal to skip school once in a while." He stated as we sat down in one of the empty booths.
"You are such a bad influence, Tristan Harris." I chuckled, pulling my hair to one side as it was all over the place.
"You love me, anyway." He winked, kissing my cheeks and my body went still at his response. He must have mentioned it funnily and casually but the thought of being in love with him made me feel warm and fuzzy. I wasn't sure if I could see myself with him in the future but it wasn't rocket science, I was obviously falling hard for him.
"Riley?" he waved his hand in front of my face and I looked at him, breaking my trail of thoughts.

"So how was it?" Lucy asked as soon as I told her that I had sex with Tristan."It was good." I blushed, looking down at my notebook, trying to avoid her gaze."Just good? Come on, I need more, Ri." She whined, nudging me and I let out a soft sigh."Fine I'll tell you but please keep your voice down," I whispered, looking around the study hall. We were the only ones who were gossiping as everyone else was seriously preparing for the finals which were due next week. I told her everything that happened yesterday and she tried so hard to contain her excitement."Holy fuck! That is so fucking hot. I'm so happy for you." She squealed, clapping her hands loudly and I shushed her immediately."Lucy!" I hissed and she rolled her eyes at my reaction."Relax, babe. Also, you need to start using the pills because sex without condoms is so much more satisfying." She sighed dreamily an

When I reached his house, I dragged myself to the door and rang the doorbell. I waited for a long time and there was no response. I rang it again and even tried to call him.No response.Just when I was about to turn around and leave, I could hear the doorknob twist and the door flung open to reveal a tired-looking Tristan. He seemed so worn out and his eyes looked lifeless, his hair was all disheveled yet sexy and all I wanted to do was pull him into a tight hug."Tristan...what happened?" I asked and was about to step forwardbut he stopped me and closed the door behind him."You need to leave, Adams. This is over." As soon as he uttered those words, my entire body froze and I kept staring at him unable to believe what he just said. I tried to fight back the tears and took a deep breath.God, I am stronger than this."What do you mean?" I ask

"I still can't believe this. Are you sure you have to leave?" Lucy asked for the millionth time as we were packing and boxing up my stuff. Exams were finally over and we were leaving town today. I wouldn't say I was all better and happy. Everything still hurt like a bitch but I tried to distract myself as much as possible by packing and cleaning up the house. I was really glad that I didn't have to see Tristan at school anymore.He could fucking rot in hell for all I care."I told you, Lu. Grandma is sick so dad and I are moving away to live with her. She is all alone in Phoenix." I explained with a sad smile and she pouted in response."Fine but I still don't understand why you broke up with Tristan. You guys were perfect for each other, babe. He is crazy about you." She jumped on the bed a

Five Years Later..."Abby, don't run. Jesus Christ!" I ran behind my four-year-old daughter as she paid me no mind and continued to run behind the dogs at the park. I stopped running when I saw her petting a small puppy and let out a huge sigh."You know you don't have to worry much allthe time, right?" My grandmother asked me from behind and I turned around to face her. She was a striking image of my dad, well it was the other way around but you get the point."I know, grandma but she is so active and I'm worried that she might hurt herself," I mumbled, sitting down on the park bench beside me, not taking my eyes off her."It's basic motherly instincts." She sat down next to me and took my hands between hers. We both watched Abby playing with the dog and I smiled at the adorable sight in front of me.Within a month since I moved to Phoenix, I found out th

Tristan's POV:"Alright, boys. You may leave for the day and I expect to see you all at 6 am sharp tomorrow. Now go hit the showers," I announced to my team and watched them disperse immediately. I let out a huge sigh and made my way towards my office, wiping the sweat off my forehead. Being a football coach was fun yet exhausting attimes but I loved my job nevertheless. I felt proud to be coaching my team at my own high school.I threw my sports bag on my shoulder as I was ready to leave for the day. Just as I was about to lock my office, my eyes glanced briefly at the hallway and I noticed a woman, taking to the principal with her back facing towards me. It was a very familiar back and there was a sudden curiosity in me to see this woman's face. She was wearing a wine red dress that hugged every curve of her body and her chestnut brown hair fell below her shoulder in waves. I kept walking towards them, trying to be as casual as

I kept pacing around in my hotel room, feeling all kinds of mixed emotions. Rage and anger dominated everything else. I wanted to kill him but at the same time, my grandmother's words and Lucy's words haunted me. Abby needs her father and he deserves to know about her no matter howbad and evil he might be. I wouldn't get another chance like this.Seeing him today at school broke me all over again and it was like trying to forget about him all these years made absolutely no sense. He still looked annoyingly handsome and even more hot if that was even possible.Ugh! I hated him so much.Why did I run into him? Of all the places, he had to work at our high school.Un-fucking-believable!I sat down on my bed and picked up my phone slowly. I went through my contacts and there his number stared right back at me.Asshole!

Tristan's POV:I kept driving my car aimlessly that night as my mind was completely fucked up. I was shocked beyond anything when I came to know that Riley had a kid but when shetold me that the kid was mine, I almost had a mini heart attack. God, the reason I pushed her away became the opposite ironically and I still couldn't believe that we had a kid.I was a father.Never in my life, I thought I would father a child. I wiped away my tears and hit the brakes, running my fingers through my hair in pain and frustration.I put her through hell because of my immature thinking. She was right. I should have told her the truth and made her decide for herself. I fucked up big time and the fact that she raised our kid all alone was too much for me to bear. I should have been there with her through every fucking step of it. I should have taken care of my girl.

"I will bring her to the park tomorrow because it's not safe for you to come to my house right now," I explained through the phone as I settled on my bed, pulling the covers over my body. I was so tired because of the jetlag and just wanted to fallasleep already."Why not?" came his response almost in an instant and I rolled my sleepy eyes."Well, if you want my dad to kill you, you are more than welcome, Tristan," I uttered, earning a deep chuckle from him that made me feel warm on the inside.God, I missed that chuckle so much."I think I can handle him, babycakes but we can meet at the park tomorrow, you know just to be safe." He sighed and I remained silent, trying to suppress my smile.Apart from me wanted to lose my ego and just forget everything. I could understand why he pushed me away and he was really dumb to think that I would want a kid more than being wit

The next morning, I woke up with a smallfrown as the bright rays of sunlight hit my face. I covered myself with the duvet immediately and reached out for Tristan but he was missing from the bed. I woke up in an instant, covering my body as much as I could. Memories of last night came rushing back to my head and I smiled widely. I've never been happier and being with him just felt right.If this is what I would be signing up for, I wanted to be with him forever. I had already made up my mind. I was ready to leave Phoenix with Abby for him. That is, if and if we were going to talk about the future. I noticed my phone on top of the bedside table and picked it up. It was 7 am and I let out a soft sigh.Where was he?"Morning, sunshine." I heard his deep husky voice and turned to my side to find him standing outside the bathroom in just a towel that was hanging dangerously low on his hips, his hair was all wet fr

Tristan's POV:I kept tapping my feet furiously waiting to reach the hotel as soon as possible. Even though I wanted to make love to her right now, I had another stuff planned for tonight.Dammit!"Are we there yet?" she asked, biting her lips andI glanced at her. She looked absolutely breathtaking in that smoking hot red dress. Fuck, she was just perfect and I still saw that cute little girl from high school in her, despite the makeup and hairdo."Impatient, are we?" I let out a small chuckle and kept driving. We were almost there and once we reached the hotel. I gave the car keys to the valet and took her hands, guiding her through the glass doors."Holy Fuck! Are you staying here for the week?" she asked in shock and amazement. I looked down and found her admiring the interiors of the hotel. She was totally mesmerized by it and almost forgot why we were here in the

My phone kept going off constantly, distracting me from doing my work at the officethe next day and I knew exactly who it was.Man, he never gives up.I picked up my phone with a small smile and saw a dozen text messages from Asshole.Of course, it was him.'I want to take you and Abby out for dinner tonight. Please don't say nooooo' -Asshole.I let out a small chuckle and typed out my reply.'Like a date?''Of course, baby.'- Asshole.'You need to get through my dad first.'My phone started to vibrate in my hands as he chose to call instead of responding to my text."Did you tell him already that I'm in town?" he yelled as soon I attended the call. I took my phone a few inches away from my ears, trying to hold back my laughter.

"You are awfully silent. Everything okay, babe?" Tristan asked while driving back to my house. Abby was fast asleep on my shoulders and I kept patting her back softly. I was still in shock with my discovery and couldn't even meet his gaze all evening. I mean, it was unbelievable that he kept the carnival ticket from our first date even after all these years. I was literally blown away and my heart was thumping against my chest wildly."I--I'm fine," I spoke after a few seconds but he wasn't convinced and kept giving me sideways glances now and then."Iknow you better than that. Do you...Ummm...regret this evening?""What?" I asked immediately and gave him a 'are you crazy' look, "Of course not, I'm just so glad that it went well and it wasn't awkward at all. She warmed up to you so fast.""I am her father, Duh! And, yeah, she is amazing. I want to be with her, Riley. I want to get

"Leaving early, I see." I heard a deep voice from behind, causing me to jump from my seat."Jesus Christ!" I shrieked in fear and turned around to meet a pair of familiar crystal blue orbs."Sorry, didn't mean to scare you." He raised his hands in defense and I let out an embarrassed chuckle."It's okay, Mr.Reed and yeah, I'm leaving early today," I replied with a small smile and grabbed my things. He was still standing at my desk behind me and I was feeling a bit awkward. I wasn't the type to make small talk and I had no idea why he was still standing right there."Ummm... Is there something I can do?" I asked, trying to keep myself distracted by arranging random things on my desk."Oh yeah, I wanted to ask if you submitted the documents and how do you feel about working here?" he asked, smiling down at me warmly and I let out a soft sigh."I submitted the documents this
