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
I am not thrilled about Dylan and the other guys leaving town for four days. While I am more than capable of protecting myself, I like that the guys are here. Dylan makes me feel so safe with him that I feel like a clingy girlfriend. I always told myself I would never be that girl, and now I am. I don’t want him to feel like I need him to always be with me. I release a sigh as I lay here comfortably in Dylan’s arms. “You are thinking too loud. Why are you even awake?” Dylan says. “Sorry, I just have so much on my mind,” I reply. “Okay, talk to me.” He states. “I feel like one of those clingy girlfriends, and I always promised myself I would never be that type of girl when I got a boyfriend,” I admit. “You are not one of those girls. While I don’t like seeing you in that ring at the gym sparring with all those men, and I don’t want to think about you participating in underground fighting, I love that you can protect yourself. The fact that if you wanted, you are capab
“At least the guys will be back tomorrow.” Lina says.“I know. Riley can irritate me, but these last two days have been weird. It has been quiet, too quiet.” Janessya comments.“It has been boring without the guys. However, they can never know this. They already have ridiculously inflated egos.” Emmy adds.We all laugh at her comment. She isn’t wrong. We are having a girls' night at Janessya’s. Her roommate moved out recently, and she hasn’t been able to find a new roommate yet. All the girls that have come to look at the room have either been bitches or weirdly quiet. I thought about helping Janessya out by moving in, but Dylan found out about my idea and quickly stopped it. The other three in the house weren’t thrilled with the idea either.“I still can’t believe you thought about moving in with Janessya.” Emery states.“I was trying to help out a friend. I thought it would be a good idea.” I hissed.“I am not surprised that Dylan shot that idea down as fast as he di
If my father finds out where I am he is going to kill me. I couldn’t sit around any longer waiting for him, Grant, and his other associates to grab Sapphire and bring her back. I told Dad I needed some time away to clear my head, which wasn’t a lie. Between trying to get our hands on Sapphire, and then finding out that the chick I was fucking is pregnant, I needed some time away from everyone. I am sure he thought I would head to one of our houses in Miami or Spain, but I came here instead. I text Karleena letting her know that I was coming and to be ready. This shit has taken way too long and I am not a patient man. I blame Gary for all this. If he wouldn’t have kicked her out of his house, she would already be my wife and I would have knocked her up already. My father and Grab=nt might be afraid of Carmine, but I am not. I am going to show all these assholes that I am not someone to mess with. If I have to kill all of them to get to Sapphire and Kyllyan then I will. Sapp
I swear if one more person tries to take my precious jewel from me I am going to lose my shit. I was just sent a video of Sapphire in the arms of another guy, who I recognized as Carter. It was taken when they were all traveling together that summer after she graduated. Whoever is responsible for this video was at least smart enough to edit out the date and time. I forwarded the video to everyone and that was when Tanin texted me letting me know the video was taken years ago. “These mother fuckers better hope I never find them. I am damn close to losing my shit.” I growl.“Calm down son. We know this is pissing you off, but we have Emery trying to trace the source of the video.” Dad tells me. Sapphire is sitting in my lap trying to calm me down. She ran into Dad’s house sobbing begging me not to believe the video. I wrapped my arms around her as she buried her face in my chest as I told her that I knew that video was old and who was in it. She has calmed down but light s
Riley -One Year Later- I stand here in our backyard watching the chaos unfold. We are celebrating my son, Niko’s birthday. He turns one today. I look over as I hear the door to the house open to see Sapphire and Dylan walking out. Sapphire has their eight month old son, Jayson, in her arms. He is the perfect mix of the two of them. He has blond hair, the perfect mix of Sapphire’s white blond hair and Dylan’s dark blonde hair. Jayson has his mother’s sapphire blue eyes, but you can see flakes of steel-gray in them. He is going to be a ladies man when he grows up. He flirts with all the ladies and all the ladies love him. Sapphire sets him down besides Yasmin and Jack’s twins and Niko. Niko and Jayson are only three months apart which I like. The twins and little Alaynia just turned two years a couple months ago. There are way more people here than I thought there would be, but I guess since Niko and I share a birthday it is to be expected. I walk over to where my beauti
Dylan-6 Months Later-“For fuck sake she is a moody sheila.” Luke says.“I will tell Sapphire you said that and we shall see how she responds.” Riley comments.Luke shoots him a glare. I shake my head at the two of them. We are having a dual baby shower/gender reveal. Riley and Janessya are the other half of this baby shower/gender reveal. They already know they are having a boy and Janessya is due any day now. My precious jewel is six months along and looks stunning with her bump. She woke up two hours later after arriving at the hospital all those months ago. I let her rest overnight before telling her that she was pregnant. To say she was shocked would be an understatement. She shut down and refused to speak for hours. I was getting worried when Jack walked in and asked what was wrong. She burst into tears and told him that she was pregnant. She was pissed that we knew the night before, but didn’t tell her. Thankfully she calmed down after talking about it. I know
We knew the girls were up to something, but never in my wildest thoughts did I think they would plan something like this. Sal had come to us and told us that they were planning something, but he had no idea what they had planned. Keegan told us that he had seen all of them over at Ace’s house along with another guy that none of us knew. No granted we don’t know every friend that they have so it could be someone from one of their classes that they had. I opened my phone and the app that I have to track my precious jewel. I gave her a necklace and pendant. The pendant has a tracker in it. I am pretty sure she knows it is there, but she hasn’t said anything to me. I don’t care either way. Knowing I can find her if shit goes down keeps my stress level normal.“I don’t like this. We know Mateo arrived in town late last night, but we haven’t been able to get eyes on him, Gareth, and Elias. I would add Karleena into that list but we haven’t been able to get a visual on her for clo
These last two weeks have been interesting. We told Carmine, Anthony, and Dad about Aria and who she said she and her father are. They confirmed what she told us was true and that her father was a close friend and ally of theirs. We even brought Aria to meet with them and Aria even called her father during the meeting. Emery was able to do something with her computer and we all saw him on the tv in Dad’s conference room. After that we let her in on our plan. I don’t think the guys fully trust her, but they are coming around. “I still can’t believe that Janessya’s parents cut her off like that.” I sneer. “I know, but they were against her being with Riley in the first place, why I don’t know. Don’t worry, Riley will make sure she and their child are taken care of and I know your grandparents have offered to pay for her school.” Dylan replies. Janessya and Riley had invited everyone to dinner a week ago and announced that they were not only expecting their first child but t
I love Dylan and the rest of the guys, but if they think they are being sneaky they are sorely mistaken. They might as well rent a fucking bill board and advertise that they are planning to try and catch Mateo and his group of dipshits. They have been covertly, well they think they are being covert, around trying to come up with a plan to catch Mateo in the act. We are over at Lina’s house. Emery’s fingers are flying across her keyboard as she checks on what those assholes are up to. “Do Gareth and Elias have any idea that you know they are involved in all of this?” Emmy asks.“No, I haven’t let on that I know they are the ones that were spying on me and that I know they are the ones that were helping to try and break me and Dylan apart.” I replied.I wasn’t initially suspicious of them when we first met in class, but both of them gave me a weird vibe. Elias more so than Gareth, but when we returned to class after our holiday break they were acting even stranger than before.
I can help but stand here and stare at my precious jewel. She is asleep on our bed in our house. We finally finished putting everything where we wanted it. I won’t lie, I was a little worried when I, more or less, gave her full permission to do with the house what she wanted. The only rooms I made sure were ready for her were our bedroom and the room I had turned into an art studio for her. I smile when she turns over and starts trying to find me. I climb back into the bed and pull her against me. She lets out a sigh and melts into me. Things have been quiet, and while I am glad for that it also bothers me. I hate this waiting around shit. I shift to lay on my back and Sapphire follows me laying her head on my chest. “No, it’s too early.” Sapphire whines. “My precious jewel is almost ten.” I snicker.“SHIT!” She states.I laugh when she jumps out of bed running into the closet to grab some clothes and then into the bathroom. I shake my head as I fling my legs over the
I have been here for two weeks and I know that I am going to have to go back to the States soon. My father has been hounding me trying to find out where I am. I am sure he is looking for me, but since I told him I was going to travel around Europe to clear my head he has been trying to find me. I knew he wouldn’t, but he doesn’t know that. I also had work I needed to get back to. I want to bring Karleena with me, but I know if I did that Dad would know that I was here if I were to bring her home with me. “Hey, I am not angry. I know I can’t go back with you, no matter how badly I want to. We have to play this right if our plan is going to work.” Karleena says.The two of us are lying in her bed. We had woken up to her phone going off. She is cuddled into my side with her head on my shoulder as her fingers trace the lines of my muscles. We are both naked after several rounds of sex last night. Gareth had called her letting her know that they needed to talk, but she told hi
I didn’t think this idea through. It sounded great when I said something to Dylan about it, but I didn’t realize how much work this was going to be. I watch as the delivery guys place the last piece of furniture in the house before they leave. Dylan and I have been furniture shopping since our date three nights ago. We talked to Dad and Richard, they agreed that it would make them think that we are not worried about them. They weren’t thrilled with the idea, but they also didn’t tell us not to move into the house. Dad, Carmine, and Anthony left this morning for something in Greece or Italy. I am not sure which country they had to travel to. I let out a sigh as I looked at everything. Most of the furniture had already been delivered, but these few pieces had been out of stock when we ordered them, and they just came back in stock yesterday. I wasn’t expecting to have them arrive this soon. “Don’t worry my precious jewel, the guys are going to come over later and help us arra
I shivered as his breath floated across my ear. Dinner had been amazing, and I was amazed that Dylan was able to reserve a table at that restaurant. I know for a fact that there is at least a three or four month waiting list to get a table there. The food was delicious, making me want to come back as soon as we could. I couldn’t stop staring at my ring. I had a feeling that he was up to something, but I was not expecting this. The ring is gorgeous. The center stone is a large four carat tear drop shaped sapphire with diamonds that decrease in size as they circle the band. The band is rose gold and fits my finger perfectly. I was jolted from staring at the ring when the car stopped. I knew the house, but I wasn’t sure why we were stopping here. I did notice a few new pieces of furniture as we entered. “Why are we stopping at your house?” I asked.“The last part of your surprise is in there. Come on precious jewel, our night is just getting started.” He whispered in my ea
