- HAZEL -I have to say that I'm having fun. Sometimes, all a girl needs besides sex is her crazy roommates to boost her ego to do something crazier. Yes, I said what I said. Ash clonked her glass with mine, holding her phone to her face. She's taking pictures of our drinks. I shouldn't have alcoh
I don't think they heard me with all the chatter going on by the door. From the sound of it, it seems like Ash and Savory know Jasmine's friends. Ugh, why am I so lonely? I should mingle more. It's unlike me not to. I roll my eyes with a sneer. My attention diverted to my phone and I tapped the scr
"Oh honey, you don't want to try that." Jasmine laughed. I love her chemistry with Ash. Knowing they've been friends since forever makes me feel a bit left out because I do have that friend. And I'm having thoughts about her man. My throat creased. I took a deep breath then exhaled. She's enjoying
"I can't. Look for someone else." I said, handing my phone back to them. "Are you kidding? How often do you find someone this beautiful, Hazel? Like ever?!" Savory questioned, surprised. I don't know if I should explain it to her. "That's sad, but I can't. I'd rather not." My voice is stern. I thi
- KILLIAN -I stepped into the bar with a firm expression on my face. My jaw tightened just by sighting this place, I hate it already. I ran my eyes around, trying to find her. She's not in sight. It is kind of frustrating to think she's with another man, probably doing unholy things. But come on,
Hazel stood up. Her body staggered forward, uncontrolled. I took a step back to avoid her body falling on mine. As much as I'd love to hold her if that happens, part of me wants her to fall. Maybe the ground will knock some sense into her. Why am I even this pissed? Why on earth does this girl's ac
- HAZEL - He did not just tie me up and lock me in his trunk. I can't believe Killian. DID HE EVEN THINK OF HOW I'D BREATHE?!After a long drive, my throat hurt and I got tired of screaming. I also couldn't reach my phone so I dished that thought too. He's meant to be with Kate, what changed? I sw
"She's not. I don't bring women home."My heart skipped a beat. Women? She's not just any woman. "Not even her?"Killian walks behind me. I didn't follow his movement with my gaze but he came back with a tumbler and a bottle of brandy. The tumbler is half filled with the brandy. He drank out of it.
- HAZEL - Nothing seems interesting. Each day, I’m getting closer and closer to losing my mind yet I’m trying to get my act together. No one really talks about how overwhelming it is to have to hide a part of you you’d love to talk about so much. How miserable keeping to yourself actually is. It’
- KILLIAN - She’s avoiding me. It’s one thing to be understanding but it’s another to try to put up with it when I have so much going on. Hazel has not said a damn word to me for days. I’ve had no texts. No calls. Not even so much as a gaze from her and we literally are in the same school. I ca
“Well, time does things to someone.” I comment. I don’t want to talk about a painful past when I’m dealing with an even more difficult present right now because of her. I don’t know what she said to Hazel but it’s got Hazel acting in a way that bleeds my heart. It’s times like these that I hate bein
- KILLIAN - Rain. I stare at the wiper blades sliding back and forth over my windscreen, wiping the raindrops hitting the glass away to no avail. It keeps pouring. Heavily at that. The sound of the water hitting my car and every object in the environment, the ground included, eases my nerves. The
“What do you think about this? I call bull.” Kaiden asks, walking by my side. Boy, seeing him again this close makes me know how much I did not miss this blonde guy but I’m casual about it. It’s just so funny how the timing is. I took his woman from him and she dumped me the moment I met him again.
- KILLIAN - Seeing her leave because of me broke me. Seeing her walk away with the desperation to run after her being pungent but not able to destroyed me even more. It doesn’t make any sense. Just this morning and a few days ago, we made love. We were happy then all of a sudden she drops this
I avert my gaze to my phone. It’s two thirty pm. How long have I been in school? I lost track. I haven’t made any academic progress since I met Asami. “Sorry, just been overwhelmed with thoughts.” I sigh. “Want to talk about it?” Natasha chimes. My lips form a line. Not really. There’s not mu
- HAZEL - “Do you really mean that?” Killian reaches out to touch me. I shove his hand away, keeping my resolve. “Yes, I do. You disgust me, Killian. I’ve put it off long enough but I can’t anymore. Let’s break up and end this thing between us.” In his eyes, I could tell he didn’t want to bel
My jaw tightens. “If it’s for us, then you’d tell me so WE can sort it out together. That’s why I’m here, no?” The sound of a flushing toilet blares in the restroom causing me to blink perplexedly. The door blocking her away from me is pushed open abruptly. I let out a sigh of relief. Finally.
