The class was dull today. I usually like this class, but my mind was elsewhere. I couldn’t help but smile when the memory of Dylan and I walking around the other day flashed through my mind. I loved the fact that it was just the two of us. I wish we could have more days like that, but we hardly ever have time between school and hockey. He has been weirdly distant these last three days. I know a lot is happening, and we learned a shit ton the other day. I pack up my sit and leave class. Walking towards my next class, I noticed Dylan standing beside a tree, talking with a girl. “Are you ok?” Arlo asks. I sat down by Lina when I finally made it to the table where we all each lunch together. I can feel everyone looking at me, but I am still numb from what I saw. I have the entire thing recorded on my phone, but I can’t believe I saw what I saw. Watching them has me feeling as if I want to throw up. My last class of the day is easy, and I am way ahead, so I head that way to
“Dylan?” She said, surprised. I stood there staring at her. This last week had been fucking torture. We knew something wasn’t right when we got home that night from practice. I hadn’t seen her since that morning when I was getting dressed. We had a ridiculously early training that day, so I could return home and get dressed. I had a two-hour gap between classes, so I headed to the gym for a light workout. I was beyond pissed when I went to grab my clothes, and they were gone. Thankfully I have a spare set in my locker. We had a light practice that evening, and it was dead silent when we walked into the house. Mel would generally greet us, but he was nowhere to be seen. Mel might have been in Sapphire’s room, so I checked it out. I pushed in my code, but it didn’t work. I tried it two more times, but it still wasn’t working. I knew it meant she had changed the code, but I had no idea why she would do this. I walked to my room, and I damn near fell over when I saw all the
Grant and my cousin's daughter returned a week or so ago. She moved back to Australia a few years ago and attended the same college as Sapphire. She couldn’t stay very long, but she did update us on everything they were doing to help separate Sapphire from Riley and his friends. We knew that Sapphire and Dylan, Richard’s son, were dating. Mateo was still pissed, but at the moment, there was nothing we could do except try and split them up. Karlenna had also shown us pictures of the others around Riley and Sapphire. As I had suspected, Emery was there, which meant Tyler and Curtis packed her up and shipped her there. I am not surprised by this development. Emery’s father had told us he had no idea where she had run off to, and he was not lying. There is another girl in the pictures that looks like Dylan. I am guessing that she is probably a cousin. “Where is Karleena?” Mateo asks. “She had to go back. She left these.” I answered. I push the pictures toward him. I watc
I smile when I feel the arm draped across my waist move as I try and slip out from underneath it. I am finally successful as I quietly walk to the bathroom. I stand in the doorway, watching Dylan’s arm swirl around, looking for me. I slip back into bed and am immediately pulled against his rock-solid chest. I look at the clock, and fuck; it’s two in the morning. I glance over my shoulder when I feel him bury his face against my shoulder. I swear he just sniffed me. I can’t help but smile when he groans and pulls me tighter against him. Not that I mind. He is warm, and I feel incredibly safe with him. I turn over, with some difficulty, and snuggle into his chest. “Sleep.” He mumbles. I know he is asleep; the fact that he is mumbling in his sleep is adorable. I am urged to grab my phone and record him, but his warmth is sinking into my body, lulling me back to sleep. I glance up at him one last time as I slowly fall asleep. “How the fuck did you escape?” Keegan asks.
Dad, Jack, Anthony, and Carmine came over to chat with us. After the almost brawl between Sapphire and Riley, I figured it was time for us to devise a plan. I know that Riley was freaked out when we came home, and she wasn’t there, hell I was just as freaked out, but I kept my cool. Riley lost his shit when she walked into the house. Riley is a good fighter, but I knew Sapphire would kick his ass. I also knew that while she was more or less better than even now, I would see her move a little too fast or twist a certain way, and she would still wince. I didn’t need her hurting herself or hurting him. I called Dad the next day and told him what happened. I knew when I heard him say he was done with this shit. I think all this shit is getting to everyone. I wasn’t surprised that Carmine sent a group text telling us there would be a meeting. He then texts a time and date. I didn’t tell anyone why this meeting was called; I could tell they were confused by everyone’s facial expr
Is this a good idea? I lived with Mathius and his parents but moved into his apartment a few days ago. We have been friends a few times, and they have been amazing, but I am not stupid. I know a guy like him will never fall for a girl like me. I might be a fucking genius; I was not one of the girls the guys noticed when we were in school. I had a few friends that were guys, but that was due to Sapphire. The room I have is fantastic. It is enormous, and it has an ensuite. I still have a room, just like Mathius, at his parent's house. I have been attracted to Mathius since I first saw him at dinner that night. I am unsure how Sapphire found all these drop-dead gorgeous men, but she did. I am unsure why he asked me to move in with him, but here we are. I don’t want to hear him having sex when he brings other girls home. “Are you okay, my little flame?” Mathius asks. “Yeah, I was just thinking of something.” I tell him. I can’t help the blush that happens when he calls me
I knew something was wrong when I left my room this morning. Emery, my little flame, was standing there staring at Nayleen. She didn’t react when I gave her cushy little ass a light smack. When I returned after seeing Nayleen out and showering, she was gone. I did get a text from Sapphire asking what I had done. I told her I hadn’t done anything that I was aware of. I knew her strange behavior this morning was due to Nayleen, but I know Nayleen didn’t say anything to her. I waited and waited for my little flame to get home. I was about to start calling everyone to see if they had seen her when I heard a key slide into the lock. It was starting to get dark when she walked in. She was wearing a summer dress the same color as her stunning eyes. It fit her perfectly. She walked right by me, not even realizing I was sitting there. I stood up, walking to her. My hands landed on her hips, causing her to scream and jump as I pulled her against me. “What?” She gasped. “And w
I am trying to determine which two are worse: Riley and Sapphire, Mathius and Sapphire, or Sapphire and Luke. I agree with Riley when he says it is Luke’s fault that my precious jewel has picked up the more colorful aspects of the Aussie language. Riley and Mathius argue with Sapphire like siblings, which I guess they are. Riley might not be her sibling by blood, but you wouldn’t know that with how they give each other shit. We have gone back to acting as we did before discovering everything. I still don’t like the idea of my precious jewel not having protection, but I need to trust her and her ability to protect herself. I know we are more aware of our surroundings and everyone we encounter. I have been keeping my eyes open for Karli, but so far, she has alluded me, well us. None of us have caught sight of her. It is Wednesday, and I am beginning to think that my precious jewel might have the right idea. Whatever disguise, she blends in with everyone else on this fucking cam
