"C--Could you just give me a second?" I stammered and rushed past her towards Zach's office.

"Yeah, go ahead and make out with him. It's not like you have to hide anymore." She called out, making me groan out loud.

How did this even happen?

That's right! All because of me.

I entered his office and shut the door behind me. He was already waiting for my outburst and gave me an apologetic look.

"How the fuck did this happen?" I asked, holding my head and he let out a huge breath.

"Jayden came over to collect the paperwork and my sister also arrived at the same time. We were all talking about the business and having a drink then all of a sudden he opened his mouth about us. I couldn't even deny, Hazel." He explained, looking more worried than me and I could understand his situation as well.

"Stupid Jayden. This is all because of him. Beth is so mad at me." I whined, sinking down on the chair in front of me and he let out a small chuckle.

"She almost hit me for not telling her first and I

    "If you come any closer, I'll scream bloody murder." I tried to threaten him as he backed me up against the door. I could feel his breath on my face and I was trying everything in my power to not grab him and kiss the hell out of him.How can someone ooze so much sexual power?!"I'd love to see you scream, Hazel." He whispered, pulling out my t-shirt that was tucked inside my jeans and continued, "Too bad, the walls are soundproof." He tsked, slipping his hands under my t-shirt and I gasped when his rough hands touched my waist, his fingers slowly tracing my abdomen."How many girls have you fucked here?" I asked without thinking as it was the first thing that popped into my mind and all he did was laugh a little before responding."Jealous already?""You wish." I scoffed, turning my head to the other side but the sexual tension was killing me both mentally and physically."Kiss me." He demanded, his fingers now under my t-shirt, resting on my boobs."Fuck off.""I want to fuck that m

    On my way back to the bar, I was thinking of every possibility of what could have happened instead of me fucking him. How could I be so fucking weak?Because he makes you weak, my inner self mocked at me.It was true though. He had awakened something inside of me that I've never felt before and I was already craving for his touch, his kiss. I've never felt so alive with anyone and it was so passionate that I was already thinking about fucking him again.I shook my head, trying to get rid of all the inappropriate thoughts before handling the situation at hand.I wanted to come clean to Beth even now as I didn't have the heart to lie to her anymore. I can't pretend to date Zach. That would be the worse thing I could do to him and for how long can I go on?I was ready to face anything she throws at me. She would be devastated when she hears it but it was the right thing to do.Once I reached the bar, I paid the cab driver and rushed inside to find her chatting with some customer. She sen

    It's been a week since Beth started to ignore me. She hasn't spoken a word to me since that day and I was missing her terribly. I could hardly see her at the apartment these days and during work she ignores me evidently even if I attempt to talk to her.Zach and I have been trying our best to apologise to her and earn her forgiveness but man, that girl was stubborn as hell. As for Jayden, I haven't heard from him for a week now and surprisingly he didn't show up at the bar either.Maybe I was right. It was probably a one time thing for him and I was mad at myself for being upset. I wasn't the type to get upset over a guy. Heck, I didn't even want a relationship before I fucked him but now I couldn't stop thinking about him and it annoyed the crap out of me. "Are you okay?" I heard Beth's voice, distracting me from my chain of thoughts and I lifted up in chin that was resting on my knees in surprise. She was standing in front of me with a mug of coffee in her hands.Was I dreaming?"

    'Just admit it that you missed me, Hazel' - J I got his cocky response almost immediately and felt a sudden rush through my body as I read his message. He was right.I kinda missed him and his cockiness and I loved when he used my name in a sentence. I couldn't wipe the stupid smile off my face.'Whatever, I'm going to bed.'I replied and kept chewing on my lips, anxiously waiting for his reply. This was all new to me and I loved feeling this way but I had no idea what the hell was going through his mind right now.'Is that an invitation?' - JOh my God!Only he could turn me on through a single text message. Fuck, I badly wanted him next to me right now and I don't know if it was the talk with Beth or if I was in a good mood but I started to flirt with him.'Maybe. Maybe not.' 'Fuck, Hazel. How can you make me hard without even trying?' - JIt was as if he read my mind. I squirmed on the couch, squeezing my thighs together and before I could send a reply I got another reply from

    "Why are you smiling?" Anna asked, cleaning the bar counter and I gave her a puzzled look. "What? I'm not smiling." I have her a nervous chuckle, tucking a piece of my hair behind my ears."Yes, you are. You've been in a good mood all week. What's new?" she asked, hungry for some gossip and as much as I hated this bitch for insulting me earlier, I wanted to rub it in her face that I was indeed fucking Jayden Brooks. I wanted to prove that a girl like me could get a guy like him.He is not yours, my inner self mocked at me and I rolled my eyes, knowing it was true. We were just fuck buddies but the last week had been absolutely amazing. I had been visiting his house almost every night and we both couldn't seem to get enough of each other.I knew very well it was not a good idea to mix feelings with pleasure but it was so hard to ignore his cute smile and the way he makes me feel so damn special everytime I'm with him."Nothing much.

    We were riding in his car again with the privacy divider between us and the driver, Stu. It felt like a Deja Vu moment. I chose to go with Jayden because for some reason, I believed him and I wanted him to know that I felt the same way as well. I knew we had a spark between us which is very rare to experience nowadays. He makes me vulnerable and never have I ever felt like this in my life before. I'm sure he has an explaination for the news I heard from Anna and it better be worth it. "I'm so glad you came with me," he whispered, rubbing my knees with his hand and placed a small kiss on my cheeks."Are you going to explain everything?" I asked, cutting straight to the point because I didn't want to fuck around anymore if another person was involved. I didn't want to be the other woman, for Christ sake."Yes, of course. First of all, the engagement was just a business deal. I wanted her father to invest in my company which he has for now but I'm going to break it off since I have yo

    It was finally Sunday, meaning the last day of our tiny little vacation at the cottage. These three days have been absolutely blissful and I enjoyed every moment that I spent with him which of course included a lot of sex but I wanted to get to know more about him. "So are you a single child?" I asked him as I got off the bed that morning and started to wear one of his t-shirt."I have an elder sister, Jude. She is married and lives in Florida now." He replied with lazy voice as he rolled over to look at me."What about your parents?""They live here in New York. My dad has retired so he and my mom have started to travel and enjoy themselves." He smiled as he spoke about them and I couldn't help but wonder if it was only me who was cursed with a wretched family. "Wow, that's so cool." I gave him a small smile as I pulled my hair up in a loose bun."Yeah, what's with all the questions?" he asked, giving me a confused look and I sat on the bed, letting out a small sigh."I know you s

    “Why do you look sad, Hazel? Did you break up with Jayden?”I gave Anna a glare as I stopped wiping the glasses.“Can you mind your own business for once?” I snapped angrily and with that she shut her mouth and continued to do her work. Beth was having a date night with Mason as usual and it was just me and Anna bartending tonight.I haven’t spoken to Jayden for the last two days and I was worried sick about him but at the same time I could understand that he was not having a regular job like me. He runs multiple companies and it can be hectic and stressful.“Can I get one of your signature drink?” I heard a deep yet familiar voice and looked up to find Zach sitting in front of me with a warm smile on his face. I was seeing him only now since last week and I didn’t know how to react immediately.“I...Hi..yeah sure,” I stuttered like a fool but started to prepare his drink. There was an awkward silence between us and the bar was not that much crowded as it was a weekday.“I haven’t see

    "I still can't believe that she is married. Look at her! She is so happy." Zach exclaimed with a hint of surprise in his voice and I couldn't help but laugh at him in amusement. "I know. Marrying the love of your life does that to you." I replied, looking at them dancing in the middle of the room without any care in the world. Beth looked so beautiful and they looked perfect for each other that it almost made me want to cry. The wedding ceremony was over and most of the people had left except for a few close friends and family who were hanging around just like us."Are you going to eat that?" Zach asked, eyeing my cake and I pulled my plate closer to mine. "Yes, sir. Keep your hands to yourself." I laughed, shoving the cake into my mouth swiftly in a not so lady-like manner. "You are such a dork." "You love me anyway." I added with my mouth, still full of cake. He kept staring at me and I couldn't help but wonder if I had something on my face.I must look like a dork if I had cak

    Six Months Later...."You have to make me stop eating, Hazel. That's your duty as my bridesmaid." Beth complained as she pushed her plate away and I tried to hold back my laughter. The wedding was on Sunday and I had been helping her all week despite my busy schedule working at the company and also attending my culinary classes in the middle of it. Taking over the company was extremely hard that I wanted to give up so many times but I got through the transition process with Zach's help as he had some knowledge in what my company does. It involved shipping and logistics related to heavy loads all over the world and the employees were so supportive and sweet towards me. They accepted me immediately and were patient with me until I understood the business. It's still a learning process no doubt.As for Lisa, she gave up and quit on her own without putting up much of a fight. She also moved out of the house two months ago which was quite surprising to me but at the same time it was under

    "Are you "Are you ready for this? No going back now." Zach squeezed my hands as we were standing outside Tim's office. It was a one hour ride from my house to the lawyer's office and a part of me was scared that I might find more shocking news from him."Yeah, it's not like I can be any more suprised than this. My entire life feels like a poorly written movie. Why can't I have anything normal like a normal human?" I complained with a pout and he simply pulled me closer to kiss my forehead softly. "You have me. I'm pretty normal." "No, you are special to me." I smiled, feeling grateful that I had him beside me during the toughest part of my life. "That's a good one. Now stop flirting with me and let's get this done." I let out a deep breath and nodded before knocking on Tim's door. He must be a big shot lawyer if he was practicing law independently and there were a dozens of people waiting to see him in the middle of a week day. "Come in." We heard the familiar voice that we hear

    "Wait, so she is not your biological mom?" Zach asked for the third time since I told him the whole story and I shook my head, looking at his confused face. We were still in bed and I finally unloaded everything that happened since I stormed out of his apartment that day. "I don't understand. If she really hates you because she thinks you somehow ruined her relationship with your dad, why would she try to send you money every month and act like she cares about you?" he questioned, sitting up straight on the bed and it was my turn to be confused. He had a point. She has always been so persistent that I take money from her and she has been extra sweet especially after my dad's death until our last phone call when I caught her on her bullshit.Thanks to Jayden! It was probably the only good outcome of dating him."I didn't think about it. Maybe she didn't want me to find out that she was ruining my relationships or something. I'm honestly confused, Zach. I had way too much to process

    I stood outside Zach's house with a nervous look on my face and licked my lips as I adjusted my clothes. I was dying to meet him while he was being a respectful boyfriend, giving me the space I needed but I was done moping around. I was ready to take control of my life instead of being sad and crying over the truth. It was already too late and I needed to figure out what's the real deal with Lisa."Okay! It's just Zach. He will be happy to see me. Stop overthinking." I whispered to myself and knocked on the door. I tried to take deep breaths and calm myself as I heard some rustling behind the door. It was way past 8 in the evening and I knew he would be at home and not at the bar. "Coming!" I heard his deep voice and instantly felt my heart swell in response. I realised that I had missed him more than I had imagined. The door swung open and I sucked in a deep breath at that exact same moment. I met his crystal blue eyes that went wide in shock, surprise, happiness all at the same tim

    "You are kidding, right? Is this some kind of sick joke?" I asked, sitting down on the couch, my hands already shaking. My palms were starting to get all sweaty and I had to shift my phone from one hand to the other."I have no reason to joke around, Hazel. You accuse me of having an affair but did you stop to think why didn't your father say a word despite knowing about it?" I went silent and thought about all the moments when she was being candid. She used to come home late and disappear every now and then even before my dad was sick. My dad wouldn't ask her anything.Fuck, she was right. She didn't try to hid it from us."I don't get it." I whispered, feeling so lost and confused and I wished that I had Zach with me right now. I missed him. "Let me cut to the chase, your father cheated on me long before I did, Hazel and your whore of a mother died giving birth to you. Only when your dad brought you home as a baby, I knew about the affair and your existence." She explained and al

  • Risking it    Chapter Thirty Three

    I couldn't stop crying after I reached home as the pain of what Zach told was unbearable and it was even more painful because I missed him and I wanted to be with him. How did a perfect day turn out to be the worst?! I was so happy and excited to see him but everything was ruined because of Jayden. It all comes back to him always.Why the hell can't he leave me alone?I couldn't stop thinking about what Zach had mentioned in the call. He told that Jayden was inside my house shirtless but how is that possible when I wasn't even at home? Fuck! Is he stalking me?Or maybe the lock on my door is easy to pick and he simply wanted to ruin my relationship. He did see me keeping my key under the mat once. Could that be possible? As my mind was trying to come up with a logical explanation to this mess he had created, I heard the doorbell ringing. It must be Zach but I wasn't in the right state of mind to talk to him. I would just fall into his arms and hug him, forgetting about everythin

    Zach's POV:I had to get out of there immediately. I couldn't stand looking at his smug face for another second. I knew Hazel wouldn't do that to me but the scenario in front of me was so convincing that despite, trying to not believe it, my heart broke into a million pieces. The fact that he was in her house, shirtless devastated me to the core. I tried to stay composed and got out of her building before I could break down. I knew I had to speak with Hazel first and I shouldn't jump to conclusions but I was human after all. I walked back to my car, trying to hold back my tears. Beth called me at that exact moment and it was like she heard my cry for help. I needed her. I knew she would back me up and tell me that I was not insane to think Hazel loves me."Hey,""Where are you, dumbass? I told you I'll be late to work today. Why did you leave early?" I knew my voice would give away if I open my mouth now. I never knew I could feel so much pain. This feeling was worse than loving h

    Zach's POV:The next morning, I woke up to the familiar scent of strawberries and vanilla, courtesy of Hazel's hair tickling my nostrils and I grinned widely in satisfaction. I would give up anything to wake up like this everyday and my cock became hard just at the thought of how quickly things escalated last night. The best night of my life so far!I pulled her closer to me, feeling scared that she might disappear at any moment now. The way she smuggled against my chest made me smile wider and my heart was full at that moment. I kissed her forehead and wondered how many years I had craved for this moment, to have her in my arms, to hold her, to kiss her and to make love to her like there is no tomorrow and I feel like I was on top of the world right now. I finally got the love of my life and it was absolutely worth the wait. "What time is it?" she whispered in her sleepy voice which made my cock stir again.Damn!I needed to calm the fuck down before I could overwhelm her with my
