Carol hushes me politely. "Have a seat. I'll make the mix right now." She says, supporting my body on the closed toilet seat. I sit there and wait for her. She's still here. I can hear running water but don't know where it's running from. My mouth widens as I mutter a silent cry. A body makes its
- KILLIAN - 'Pick me up, please.' I read the message staring at me from my phone. It's past twelve am. Why am I up by this time when I'm doing absolutely nothing? Because I can't sleep. Even when I tried to, I couldn't. I sigh. How could I when I was worried sick about her? 'I'm on my way
- HAZEL - I'm cramped up on his bed with my arms around my tummy. My stomach still hurts really bad. The ache is less than it was before but it's nearly unbearable. My eyes water as I try to hide the ache. Why didn't Carol give me a flash warning that having so much of that can give stomach ache
I close the drawer and open another one. Ha! I found the remote! I take it out and close the drawer. My hand stretches toward the TV and I press a button on the remote, turning the TV on. Although I've found what I was looking for, my hand is itchy to see what lays in the remaining drawers. I
- HAZEL - I'm stuffed. Overly stuffed that I can't feel my legs. I feel pregnant. And my stomach doesn't feel sore anymore. Maybe all I needed was a good meal. Killian is in the kitchen, taking care of our dishes and I know I'm supposed to be there with him but my curiosity on that file and det
"Oh yeah?" I grin. "Can't think of anything else?" I tilt my head to the side to let his head rest properly on my shoulder. My hair gets tucked behind my ears by his hand. "Anything you want to add? You sure are many things." Killian kisses me again. Only this time, I feel his tongue on my neck.
- KILLIAN - This snooping around, I don't like it. I sigh and close the book I'm reading. I'm on the last page yet I put a book mark. My head dart to the side to look at the lady sleeping peacefully at my side. She's being touchy. On a normal day, I wouldn't get judgy about it as every importan
The laughter trailing from Natalie's end gets on my nerves. She's enjoying this way too much. It's night yet she looks as exquisite as ever. Typical fashion icon mother behaviour. "You look stunning." I compliment. "As always." She finishes my sentences. I wasn't going to add that but I shrug to
I let out an exhale, remembering every encounter him and I had since the night we met. He was flattering. Very gentle and the good kind of masculine. He also held me to him when he lied about us to Kate. . . . And even though it’s just two people I’ve been with all my life, I’ve not been in a rel
- HAZEL - By the time I woke up, he was gone. My bed was nicely laid despite being on it and my window was shut. I couldn’t perceive his cologne and there was not even a single trace of him ever being in my room. That sucked. I know he was here but it doesn’t seem so. I miss waking up to him in
Her room is girly. Way too girly. All stylised with feminine colours. This makes me chuckle under my breath. Sleeping in a room like this would give me nightmares but I’m pretty sure she gets cotton candy dreams. The irony is funny. “Your room is. . .” I clear my throat, looking for the right word.
- KILLIAN - It was quite easy. Coming over. Not having access to her the whole day got to me. Even while working, it was all I could think about. That’s why I decided to pay her a visit. A surprise one. This morning may not have been everything we hoped for but I know her too well to know that
- HAZEL - I stare out the window, sat on my bed, enjoying the night sky and city lights. A smile forms on my lips as I take a breath of fresh air at the nostalgia. Home. I’ve missed home. It’s non chaotic and less harmful. It’s warm and cosy. Everyone loves me here. Sadness suddenly becomes arde
- KILLIAN - I raise my hand up then bend it so it touches the opposite shoulder. After this, I let my other hand rest on the elbow or my stretched hand and yawn, stretching my body out while standing in the office this whole thing began, the hunt for power and the acquiring of power. I’m at the Iv
- KATE - So his brother is with my best friend, who would’ve thought? I guess even she didn’t know. I doubt I would if I was in her shoes. The odds are quite slim but here we are, getting stronger in our friendship in more ways than one. Never would I have imagined her being with someone like L
- HAZEL - So I’m his girlfriend. I stare timidly at the back of the passenger seat from my sat position in the back seat. I still don’t know how to deal with this information. In reality, I’m with Killian, but to Kate, who I may see a lot due to the fact that I’m on some kind of school holiday a
- KILLIAN - “Your girlfriend? What the fuck, Liam?!” I rage, dragging him inside my bedroom. The women are downstairs, spending time together to bond. “What else did you expect me to do? Let your woman peel the hair off your other one?!” Liam asks, sounding just as distressed as I was. His outw
