I asked my best friend who was now lying on my bed with her blonde hair spread out."Nah! I don't plan on seeing that asshole anytime soon. I can't believe he turned me down." She replied and continued to munch on her chips angrily. I have no idea how she maintains that body of hers without hitting the gym. She was exactly the opposite of me, model like physique, long blonde hair and steel blue eyes."How are you so sure that he will be there tonight?" I asked with a small chuckle as I wore a long sleeved white blouse and a black A-line skirt. I finished my look with a pair of only pumps that I owned. It was pretty worn out and I mentally made a note to buy a new pair of shoes with my next paycheck."Oh, I'm pretty sure he will be there, Hazel. It's a Saturday night and

I felt an intense desire that I've never felt before as he tighten his grip around my waist and the way our lips brushed against each other ignited a fire in its wake. Everything around me seemed to dissolve and all I could focus on was the way our lips moved in sync with each other and I don't know if I turned him on yet but my entire body was burning with desire and need. I could feel a slight tingle between my legs as he slipped his tongue inside my mouth and I let him explore effortlessly. My toes curled inside my pumps and I gripped his soft, silky hair that curved around the nape of his neck. I had no idea how long we stood there kissing like sex starved teenagers but we finally broke apart when his friend yelled at us on the top of his lungs."In your face, loser!" He started laughing, pointing towards Jayden's slacks. I looked down and my eyes went wide, witnessing the bulge of his manhood poking through the rich material. I started to blush profusely while Jayden looked at

"Coming!" I yelled, suppressing a yawn as I walked towards the door. It was Monday morning and my shift doesn't start until 11. I thought of sleeping in but my plan was completed ruined by the person knocking on the door right now."I'm gonna kill Beth when she wakes up." I mumbled under my breath and opened the door to find Zach, standing in front of me with a bright smile on his face, looking crazy hot as usual. Shit, I looked like a mess!"Zach...Wh-- What are you doing here?" I started to blush, pushing my hair away from my face and tried to pull down my long oversized t-shirt. He paid me no mind and walked inside with a package in his hand."You were supposed to text me last night." He stated cooly, walking inside the kitchen."Shit, I completely spaced out. I'm so sorry." I pouted, still wondering what he doing down here."Umm...do you want me to wake up Beth? She is still asleep." I was about to walk towards her room."No, it's okay. I came to check on you and I also got you s

"Can I get you anything else?" I asked, not having a clue as to why he was adorning an evil smirk right now. "Nope. I'm all good, Hazel..?" He paused, waiting for me to tell my last name."Woods. Hazel Woods." "I'm Jayden Brooks but I'm sure you already know who I am," He extended his hand for me to shake and I raised my eyebrows at his cockiness."That's very presumptuous of you, Mr. Brooks.""Come on, my friend must have atleast told my name before asking you to kiss me last night." He added with a wink, making my eyes go wide in shock."Ex-Excuse me?""Do you know what I prefer?" he asked me in a dangerously low voice, making me swallow hard."Huh?" He gestured towards me to come closer and I obeyed him. I slowly leaned against the counter, not breaking his gaze and our faces were just inches away from each other.He came closer near my ears and his hot breath near my neck was enough to make me go weak in my knees. "I prefer tasting this drink off your lips," he whispered, his

"What the fuck, Jayden? Are you out of your mind? Kidnapping me like that," I almost yelled in anger and looked around us to find no one. The street was completed deserted and I rubbed my hands from where he held me earlier. I had no idea what he was doing out here at this time. It was fucking creepy."Get in the car," he ordered, straightening his jacket and opened the door for me to enter. I stared at him for a good thirty seconds before I rumbled up with laughter, shaking my head."First of all, what the hell are doing out here at this time of the night? And second of all, who the fuck do you think you are? I'm not some girl who gets in your car just because you're hot. I'm not a fucking prostitute." I rushed out angrily and slammed the door shut."So you think I'm hot?" he asked, dismissing everything else with a sly smirk, leaning against his car.Ugh! He was unbelievable.I noticed that everything about him screamed money. He looked like a spoiled rich brat and I looked like a

"Just don't give up on her, Mason. Trust me, she loves the chase." I spoke to Mason who was standing in front of me with a box of liquor. "I know and I wasn't planning on giving up anyway. Thanks, Hazel." He grinned widely and walked towards our inventory room while I resumed my work with a small smile. I knew Mason and Beth would make a cute couple and I decided to nudge them a little towards each other. After all, what are friends for? I just want her to be happy and it's the least I could do for everything she has done for me. "So how did you get a guy like Jayden Brooks to notice you?" Anna asked from beside, making me almost spill the drink that I was preparing."What?!" I shrieked, panic evident in my tone. Fortunately, Beth was yet to arrive at the pub. She doesn't have to work at all as she owns a part of the pub but she joins us behind the bar counter atleast once a day to help us out which is really sweet of her."Well, he was here earlier today asking for you and I told h

"Hazel! There is a mail for you." I heard Beth calling me from the living room and I came rushing outside to find her going through all our mails."Here you go," she handed over a green envelope to me and I already knew who might have sent it to me.Not again!I threw it on top of the coffee table and walked inside the kitchen to make some tea for us."Wait, aren't you gonna open it?" she asked, entering the kitchen with the envelope in her hand and I turned around to face her. "No, I don't want to." I shrugged, placing the kettle on the stove but she didn't seem to let it go."Come on, I know it's from your mom." She stated, waiting for me to respond but I remained silent. "Hazel Woods, have you been doing this every single month?!" She asked with her hands on her hips and I mentally groaned in frustration. She has no idea about my relationship with my mom and I haven't told her as well. "I don't mean to intrude but I really think you should read them, babe. It's your mom." She tr

Shit!I knew Jayden would see right through his lie because I had told him Zach was my boss yesterday in the car.I decided to play along anyway."Right this way, Mr. McKenzie." Jayden gestured towards the right with his hand and I could sense that he was fucking mad.I spent the next half an hour, tasting different samples of whisky. Zach didn't try any as he has to drive us back and to be honest, I was impressed with everything they had to offer. I loved the taste, it was rich, strong and so fucking smooth."What do you think, babe?" Zach asked, looking down at me with his arms still around my waist and I gave him a small smile."I love it."Jayden kept eyeing us both suspiciously and waited for us to give our decision."Well, if my girlfriend approves then I'm all good, Mr. Brooks. Let's finalize the paperwork and supply." Zach announced and I let out a huge sigh of relief.I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. Jayden called someone on his phone and we stood there wait

"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

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
