He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me into his house and shuts his door. I slap his hands away from me as he smiles at me.
Wow, his house is pretty. I really didn't expect this type of design and furniture from someone who rides a motorcycle. What is he? A rich guy who ran away from his family to live the type of life he wants? What does he even do for a living?
" Damn. That top." He says and bites his lip, looking down at me. I follow his gaze and it lands right on my nipples that are poking through my tank top.
He smiles and looks up at my face.
" Fucking pervert." I mutter and cross my arms.
" I can still see them." He utters and I hate the fact that that made me blush.
Goddamnit Serena.
" Will you stop making flirty comments about my boobies, you perv." I tell him. He raises his brows and smirks.
He takes a step forward and bites his bottom lip. Hate to admit it, I liked it.
" Wait. Stop right there." I say and place my hand on his chest as I push him back gently. He chuckles silently and runs his hands down his wet hair.
Damn, I like that too.
" Why are you here by the way?"
Oh yes, I forgot already because you're not wearing a damn shirt.
" Can you just wear something?" I sigh and take one last look at his body. He looks good and toned.
" I'm not naked, candy."
" My name's not candy, you dimwit."
" Feisty. What's your name then."
" It's Serena."
"Selena?" He cocks his brows and smirks.
" Fuck me. Are you that dumb?"
" I like that mouth of yours. We should put it to use sooner." He says.
I stare at him and blink my eyes at him. What's that supposed to mean?
" Look, I'm not here for you to flirt with me. I just wanna tell you to please stop playing loud music. I can't feel my ears because of you and you had to interrupt my movie."
He keeps quiet and crosses his arms. God his muscles flexes and it makes him look hotter.
" Can you please wear something?" I ask again, this time not daring to look at him.
" Do I turn you on?" He asks and smirks.
I hate that smirk.
It makes me react crazily around him.
" Fuck no. Just wear something."
" My bedroom is that way." He whips his head to his hallway. " You can just get a shirt for me and help me wear it." He says. Is he serious?
I roll my eyes and poke his chest. " You need to stop this nuisance and get useful. Your attitude is barbaric. I can barely cope with your everyday sex and loud moans from your sluts and now you've decided to disturb my peace with your annoying loud music. Fuck, who does that!" I say, still poking his chest.
Damn. That chest feels good against my hand. I hold back the urge to run my hands down his body as I quickly remove my hands from his chest. I take a step back from him but almost trip on my own steps. Neighbor catches me. His strong arms wraps around my waist as he pulls me up.
" You know each time I look at you, I wanna do a lot of bad things to you, candy." He says casually like it's no big deal.
" And you feel so fucking good against my touch." He whispers.
Why did I have to get aroused with what he said! I'm supposed to be yelling at him for disturbing the peace of the neighborhood, instead I'm hypnotized. God where's the goddamn doctor? I think I need help.
I don't say a word cause it seems that cat got my tongue. Neighbor leans me carefully against his door as I feel his forefinger dance on my bare thighs.
Oh God Serena, don't moan.
Hell no! I moan.
He smirks against my neck as his hand brushes up my hips and wraps his arms around my waist again.
Alrighty, just push him a little and yell one more time at him for being so cute and get the hell outta here.
No, I didn't do that. Instead I look right into his eyes, and then his marvelous pink lips. I imagine what more it can actually do. I swallow and shut my eyes as I think about Todd. Hell, Todd just polluted my memory with his frequent sex reminder. With my last will power, I unwrap his arms from around my waist and push him away from me.
" I'm sorry to burst your bubble Mr. Neighbor, you can't have me. I have a boyfriend and we're in love."
" You mean your college rich fucker. He's a dick." He says and chuckles darkly.
How did he know Todd's in college?
" Have you been keeping an eye on me?"
" You're pretty hot yourself. Nothing wrong that I find you attractive." He shrugs without even giving me an answer.
I want to poke his chest again but I stop myself. I stomp my foot on the ground and turn around to leave but that didn't work. I hit my head against his wall and crash on the floor.
" Holy fuck." I groan and hold my head.
" Shit, are you okay?" He asks as he tries to stifle his laughter.
" Asshole." I raise my hand to swat his bicep but he catches it before I even make a move.
" Weak." He hisses and tosses my hand away.
" Dante." Someone says from behind.
Dante? Is that his name?
I look behind him and see a guy. He's got a cigarette in between his ear.
Oh wow, they smoke too?
Awesome. I should move out of here before these freaks kill me before my time. Dante stands up at once as he pulls me up with him.
The new guy smirks as he looks down at me. His stare stops on my tank top and I hate the fact he smirks at my bare boobies. God , this is so embarrassing.
" New girl?" He asks and takes out the cigarette from his ear and a lighter.
He looks almost the same age as 'Dante' and he's hot too. He wears a black t-shirt and his arms are both tatted. What's with guys and tattoos? I almost had one 'cause Bree had a tattoo including Summer. Bree decided to ink her skin because Summer talked her into it. I was scared and thought about my parents reaction if they find out their precious daughter got a tattoo.
" Shut up, Hero." Dante says as he looks back at me.
" So your name's Dante huh?" I ask him and cross my arms. Hero is still looking at me. What's with these guys and my body?
" Middle name. Name's Judah."
Wow. Judah? Like Judas Iscariot?
" Judas huh?" I ask and smirk at him. Hero chuckles as he puffs out the smoke from his blunt.
" I didn't betray Jesus." Judah mutters.
" Whatever." I scoff and turn around to leave.
" She's hot." I hear Hero mutter.
" Shut the fuck up , man." Judah says as he follows me outside.
" I didn't ask you to follow me , Judas." I say and turn around. He rolls his eyes and looks down at my lips.
" Those are pretty." He says, referring to my lips.
I huff and shake my head as I climb down his front porch.
" Nice butt." He snickers.
I make sure I don't turn around as I hurriedly walk to my apartment.
" Nice talking to you , Margaret." He shouts as he chuckles.
" It's Serena, you perv." I shout back at him and step on my porch.
" Sure thing, Gwen." He smirks and winks at me.
I groan and enter my apartment as I shut the door. I lean my back against my door and slide down as I groan. How can he be so hot and a flirty perv.
God I hate him.
CHAPTER 5I go to my bedroom and put on a t-shirt over my tank top. For some awkward reasons I thought about Judah. His touch and even his voice is mesmerizing and it annoys me that I'm attracted to him.I stare at my reflection and the faint red mark on my forehead. I touch it and it hurts like hell. I wish I could look properly and not get hypnotized by my very attractive neighbor, I won't be having this bruise by now.I pick up my phone and go back to the living room to watch TV. For some reasons, Judah didn't play his loud songs and I'm grateful.My phone rings at once. I look at the caller ID and it's Todd. I sigh and pick up as I press the phone against my ear while I use my other
CHAPTER 6I quickly get dressed for school as I pick up my orange colored jacket and drape it around my shoulder. I switch off my TV and make sure everything is intact before I walk out of my apartment. I shut the door and walk down the porch.I see Judah leaning against the railings on his porch as he smokes. He sees me and as usual his eyes travel all the way down my body. I ignore him and continue my walk to my car.” Morning, Candy.” He says and throws away his Cancer stick. He walks to my form as I fiddle with my car key.Why are my hands sweaty and why am I anxious to open my car?Oh yeah , it’s because Judah is standing right behind me. I take a deep breath and turn around.&rdquo
CHAPTER 7She was beautiful.She was everything he always wanted.She was naive and pure. He has always wanted her. Wanted every part of her. But something is wrong. He doesn't deserve her. He stood at a corner and watched her. She just turned nineteen and her parents threw a party for her. The party guests cheered her and her twin as he watched her cut the cake. His eyes scanned her body and she was clad in a red dress. He had never liked the color red, but she made him fall in love with the color. He watched her every move as she danced to the song with her sister. He couldn't take his eyes off her. He couldn't. He had tried to stay away from her but he couldn't. Her black hair bounced to every move she swayed and he liked that too. And that's when he decided he was gonna have her even if it took him years.**** |•JUDAH&bul
CHAPTER 8 With tears in my eyes, I grab my bag and run out of the restaurant. Bree calls after me not after hearing Summer mutters "Shit." I've got two classes left and it will be a total waste of time if I skip my two classes and go home to grief. I rush to the baseball field and sit down to watch the baseball players rehearse. I wipe my tears but more keeps pouring down. Why am I so vulnerable? With every single attitude Todd comes up with, I still cared about him. And this isn't the first time he's told me it's over. First month into our relationship, we fought and he told me it was over. A day later, he called me to apologise and told me he was drunk and he didn't mean it. Then two weeks later, we fought again and he said 'we're done.' and a few hours later, he apologized and gave me another reason. This always goes on and I'm getting tired of his attitude. But why can't I let him go? It's like he knows my soft
Chapter 9"Oh my God, Todd?" Judah huffs, clearly not concerned. He rolls his eyes." Serena." Todd calls again and knocks on my door." Shit! Judah, you gotta leave through the back door." I whisper and plead." Fuck, no!" God he's so stubborn." Serena, are you in?" Todd knocks again." Judah, please. We fought today and you're the reason behind it. I can't let him see you with me, it's gonna make him think I'm truly cheating on him with you." I plead and pout. Judah doesn't even look like he cared. Of course he doesn't even care. I bet he doesn't even have feelings." So he thought you were fucking me or what? What, am I not cute enough?""Fucking hell, Judah. You're annoying." I tell him and he smirks." Serena." Todd knocks again. This time louder. I badly want to let him in. But he's definitely gonna freak out. Get a
Chapter 10 " What's going on here? Todd, how did you know Judah?" I ask, glancing at both men. Todd doesn't respond. Judah smirks." Can someone please answer me? What the fuck is going on in here?"" What are you even doing with my girl?" Todd asks. Like this is the right time to ask that type of question. Damn, I'm sick. I just wanna go home right now." Talk later, Margaret." Judah says and leaves. I watch the door shut as I cross my arms to stare at Todd." Margaret?" Todd asks surprisingly. I roll my eyes at him." How did you know Judah?" Todd asks again." He's my neighbor. Same neighbor whom I gave a ride. How did you know Judah? I'm pretty sure I didn't tell you his name and you've never seen him before."" You gave Judah a ride? I thought he left the city." Todd says." Todd, what's going on?"Todd doesn't answ
Chapter 11 I stare at this man in front of me as he says these words. I hate to admit how he makes me feel. I part my lips to say something but nothing comes out. Judah smirks, satisfied with my reaction as he turns to leave. I watch him go to his kitchen and I follow. He pulls out a cancer stick and lights it without once looking at me. A cloud of smoke surrounds him. I don't fancy smokers but Judah makes everything look perfect." I… uh… I wanted to…. You know…" shit, why am I stuttering. Judah chuckles and turns to look at me, flicking the ash on the ashtray that sits on his counter. He puts back the stick in his mouth and walks to my shuddering form. He grabs the hem of my hoodie and pulls me to him." We can make this easy for us." He says with the stick in his mouth. I want to run my hands down his tousled locks but I fight back the urge. &nb
Chapter 12" You own a car?" I ask Judah as I slip inside his car. Not just any car, a fucking sport's car." You ask so many irrelevant questions, Julie." I huff and fasten my seatbelt." So we're back to the names of your ex's, huh? I'm patiently waiting for the day you'll call me Mercedes." I tell him without looking at him. Judah chuckles silently. I can feel him staring at me but I don't look at him." So how much of the conversation did you hear?" I watch the way he speeds onto the road and he's not even wearing a seatbelt. He's a lunatic, a cute one though." A lot."" Even when she moaned?" Judah asks and turns to look at me. I look away and look out the window. He's trying to make me feel these strange feelings again. I should go to church, it's been a long time." Look, we're not gonna talk about your sexual life with your girls, i don't care if she's your slut."
♥ EPILOGUE ♥ I squeal loudly as I run into the waves.Judah took me to a fucking island.A vacation I've always hoped for.An isolated island with a beautiful home and a man you're in love with by your side.Isn't that dream worthy? Judah sweeps me off my feet as we kiss.We were always kissing ever since we settled our differences. Aunt Adele went back to London the previous day before we came here. Diana threw a big party in her father's house that evening and we party the hell out. I talked with Todd and he apologized for whatever thing he did to me. Summer apologized too. Confessed she's been jealous of me all this while and she envied my life. My fucked up life. Judah took me to Italy and we spent a week there. We visited his neighborhood and it was fun, seriously. Seeing his childhood neighborhood and all that.
Chapter 42 ♥ SERENA'S POV ♥" 'Cause I'm leaving the country."God, no.He can't just do that to me.We can't just fight and have issues and he's planning to leave." Good luck then." I twist the doorknob but Judah stops me." Leave me the fuck alone!" I yell at him." You can't just hurt me and make me mad and then come back to me and ask me for forgiveness. It doesn't work like that, Judah. If you wanna go back to Italy, just go. Leave me alone. You're not human Judah. No matter what the reason is, I don't expect you to sedate me and give me to Francis fucking Ryland. You're mean Judah. I forgive you alright, get off my face." I push past him and storm inside the apartment, making sure I lock my door. I sniffle and sob. I hate that I feel this way." Fucking hell." I hear Judah mutter and a thumping sound follows. Did he pu
Chapter 41 ♥ SERENA'S POV ♥ " You know it's not his fault right?" Hero asks, leaning beside my kitchen door. " Yeah?" I chuckle sadly as I sit down. " You know most times, we're placed in this situation where we don't have a choice." " I believe every single person has a choice. It's about facing the consequences that come with the choices." " I agree though. Same time we're all fucked up. Him especially." Hero smiles apologetically and leaves. " And one more thing, if you choose to forgive him anytime soon, don't forgive him too easily. He needs to be dealt with a little." Hero says as he walks out. I chuckle sadly.Forgive him? Can I even forgive him?I can't do this. I take a deep breath, drawing back the tears as I pick up my phone. Aunt Adele is the first person I need to call. " Hey sweet cheeks. You're okay?" " I'm not." My voi
Chapter 40 ♥ JUDAH'S POV ♥I feel terrible.Whatever shit I did, I don't have a choice. But I probably got it covered. It was out of my will, I didn't know what to do. I can't see her get hurt after seeing all the shit she passed through." We need to talk." Ransom said on the phone. I sat across from him. He knows I'm not happy with whatever shit he wanted to say." Where's the fucking heirloom Judah?"" I don't know what the fuck you're talking about."" You're playing smart ass huh? Do you wanna see her get hurt or what?"" I don't fucking know what you're talking about, Francis." I told him." You know I brought you in. Made you who you're today."" No shit, you didn't. You only made me worse. You made m
Chapter 39 Wait.I thought my father's friend, Francis Ryland died months ago in Cuba. What the hell is going on that I'm not even aware of." I need to go." I say as I proceed to follow Genevieve and Francis. Todd pulls me back." Where are you going?"" Let go of me." I grit out. He nods and lets go of my hand." What do you even want from me? What do y'all want from me? You know I just witnessed a miracle today. I saw my father's old friend who's supposed to be dead."" Who?"" Francis fucking Ryland."" That wasn't Francis. You are mistaking him for someone else." I roll my eyes and walk back into the tavern. I need to get the hell out of here.I stop by our table." I'm sick. I wanna go home." I say." Why? Something wrong? What did Todd say to you?" Diana asks ." Nothing, I'm fine. I'm gonna call an Uber, you gu
Chapter 38 ♥ JUDAH'S POV ♥" I'm falling in love with you Judah, and I'm a damn fool for it." Fuck it.Fuck all of this.This is new.This is crazy. This is fucked up.It's kinda weird to hear someone tell me they love me. I don't even think anyone has ever told me that.Fuck this shit.I lean my elbows on the railings as I stare out the city. I groan and rake my fingers through my hair.God I'm going insane.I pull out a stick of cigarette and light it.Without pulling it out , I exhale the smoke through my nostrils. She's fucking with my entire thinking system. I don't feel good.This isn't right. She isn't supposed to be falling in love with me. She shouldn't have told me that.I grew up to understand that nobody cares about me. Nobody gives two shits about you
Chapter 37 ♥ SERENA'S POV ♥" Serena." I'm already down the hallway when someone grabs my forearm. Without turning back, I know who it is. Of course it's Judah, you can easily tell. I turn to face him." What? You should be with Mercedes."" Why?" He asks. Is he insane?Or is he high or what? I look into his eyes and there's nothing wrong with him. They are the perfect shades of green that I've always admired." Serena." The girls waltzes in. They stare at me and Judah as they shift their gaze to my form." It looks like you're safe. We are gonna be inside." They say and walk back inside one after the other." You know this can't work right? You don't just take a girl to her dream vacation and ignore her calls afterwards. And there you're with some other gi
Chapter 36Wanted?Like criminally wanted?I feel like passing out.This can't be true right?Judah's is weird, he's mysterious and he can't be criminally wanted right?But how the hell did Phoebe know a lot about him? About what he told me only? Who the fuck told her that?I'm not insane. I can literally remember he told me that story when we were alone. By ourselves." It's a lie." I say at once." What? Serena what did he do to you?" Michael asks." I should be asking all of you what this man did to you. He's lying. Judah's not a bad person."" Judah is not bad? He told you that right?" Albert asks.Who the fuck is he?How can he be so manipulative?How the hell did he even convince two detectives who knew their jobs?But why do I even trust Judah?I mean he asked me why I trusted him and yet I have no damn reason. Judah c
Chapter 35 I stare at this camera on my countertop and think of who to call. Judah or maybe Phoebe. Who would do this? How come I'm just seeing this? I run my hands down my hair and itch it. I'm going insane. One tiny little heirloom is trying to consume my life and I don't even know what to do with myself anymore. Who would plant a camera in my kitchen? And that's when something clicks. What if it's everywhere in my house? I carry a kitchen stool and take it to the living room. I drop it close to the wall and climb on it. And that's when I see another one. I pull it out and go to the extreme of the living room. Another one. I throw them on the floor and sigh. This has passed becareful. " Damn it, my bedroom." I hurriedly went to my room and searched for any cameras. There are none. I breathe in a sigh of relief and sit down on my bed.
