Adriana Jensen~•~I was relieved that Saint had nothing to do with Samantha but it still bothered me that they were being posted together everywhere. Saint was normally a private person so news concerning his relationship was always made to be a big deal.At that moment, the public thought they were back together and classified them as a couple. That didn’t sit right with me. After all, no girl would like it if her boyfriend was being addressed as another person’s man.I was able to take my mind off it during shopping though. Clothes were my favorite things to shop for. What I liked even more was the fact that Saint was buying them for me and he seemed content to do so. When I was with Benjamin, he always had something to say if he spent a penny on me. According to him, I had my own money so there was no need for him to use his. That was why I was quite surprised when he announced the vacation with his family and told me not to worry about the expenses. It only made sense when he to
Adriana Jensen~•~The rest of our trip was spent with Saint taking me to all the famous attractions, taking walks with me, eating out with me, and hanging around the pool with me. He was basically doing everything with me except touching me and I was certain it was on purpose.I pretended not to notice because I didn’t want to come on too strong like I usually did, but in no time, our vacation had come to an end and we had to go back home.I never really liked school, at least the academic part, but I never thought I’d dread going back to school. School was to resume in a few days, but I hadn’t settled my living concerns. I’d moved out from the apartment I was sharing with Fabiola, but I couldn’t go to class from the house every day. Staying at home can be overwhelming sometimes.My parents hadn’t asked about my accommodation and I hadn’t told them anything either. I would temporarily stay at Charlotte’s apartment where all my items were stored but she was finally moving in this seme
Saint Giordano~•~Adriana and I were bad for each other but that was only because we were too alike; both of us were manipulative and would stop at nothing to get what we wanted.I was a busy man and was always caught up with work. I didn’t have much time to entertain Adriana. I didn’t see her a lot which was why I bought a house close to her school and asked her to move in with me.She was impulsive. She was young and took a lot of risks. I knew she was going to live with me which was why I suggested it. She said she was going to think about it but it was just a formality. She had already agreed. It was a bad decision on her part because she wouldn’t have freedom anymore. She couldn’t enjoy her last year in school as a carefree single girl anymore. She was all mine and we were probably going to live together forever because I had every intention of making her my wife.I was going off-topic.As I said earlier, Adriana and I were too alike which was why I wasn’t surprised when she scr
Adriana Jensen~•~“He’s so annoying. Can you believe he left me like that? He didn’t even bother to speak to me after that. It wasn’t like I was going to respond but he could have tried.”Sofia and Charlotte shared a look. “So you guys haven’t spoken since yesterday?”There was a guilty look on my face. “We have, but that doesn’t mean I’m not mad at him anymore,” I answered Sofia.Charlotte laughed. “Does he know that?”I didn’t care. That was his problem. He has left me naked in the bedroom and dropped me off at home without a word. This morning, he texted me to ask what day I’d be moving in so he could help me get my things. I told him I wasn’t sure yet and that was it. He didn’t apologize for what happened yesterday. He didn’t even mention it. He could be such an asshole sometimes.“You’re mad at him but you still want to live with him?” Sofia asked.“My living situation has nothing to do with our fight.” I defended myself. I’d told them about everything that happened on our trip,
Adriana Jensen~•~I knew I said I wanted to let this one go, but as I watched Saint work on his computer, I couldn’t help but glare at him.As asked, he had picked Sofia and I from Charlotte’s house, he also helped me move my things, at least the important ones like clothes and books. He said he was going to have someone get the rest later and I didn’t question it.By the time we were back at his new house, it was already evening. It was a new place but he settled in as though he’d been living here for ages. The house was fully furnished and I didn’t know if it was on purpose or not, but it totally looked like the kind of place I’d love to live in.We had dinner a few minutes ago and apparently, it was time to sleep. Well, time for me to sleep while he worked like the workaholic he was.“Do you not like me anymore?” I asked suddenly, making him pause.His gaze shifted from the screen of his monitor to me, who was standing at the entrance. “What?”“I don’t think you like me anymore. Y
Saint Giordano~•~I was an early riser but whenever I slept with Adriana, I woke up later than usual. Her idea to have different rooms was good because, after only two days of officially living together, I was getting comfortable with waking up a bit later.This time, it was the doorbell that woke me up.Adriana shifted in my arms. “It’s so early.” She murmured. “Who’s that?”I wondered the same.It had not been more than a week since I moved to this house, so barely anyone knew my address. The only people who did were my assistant and Asher’s family and I doubted they’d have a reason to visit so early in the morning, especially when phones existed for a reason.With a sigh, I gently removed my body from Adriana’s and put on a shirt while she found a pillow to cuddle with. The stuffed animal I gifted her was in her room. She wanted to bring it to mine but I forbade it, knowing damn well she’d gravitate to it instead of me.The doorbell rang again but instead of checking who was at t
Adriana Jensen~•~I was certain my eyes were playing tricks on me. That, or I wasn’t properly awake yet.My mother left when I was eleven, but I wasn’t stuck on that. I had a mother and a father. I had real parents who were there for me, so I barely thought about the woman who gave birth to me, which was why it was impossible for my imagination to conjure her up. She was really behind the door.Saint stared at me. “Should I open the door?”What did she want? It had been more than ten years. Why now? Why was she coming back? How did she even find me? Even my parents didn’t know where I was at the moment. Was she a stalker? What the fuck?I took a closer look at her. Her blonde hair was tucked in a prim and proper bun. I couldn’t see her full outfit but her top was from an expensive brand. She wasn’t broke. “What do you think I should do?”“It’s your call, baby.”I took a deep breath and she pressed the doorbell again. She didn’t look nervous at all. She seemed calm and collected. Mayb
Adriana Jensen~•~Focused on stirring the eggs in front of me, I was taken by surprise when arms suddenly wrapped around me from behind.I sighed in satisfaction and leaned back so I was resting on him. His touch automatically made me feel better. That was one of the pros of living with him.“How are you feeling?” Saint questioned, kissing my cheek. I had acted all tough when she was around but her visit disoriented me. I wasn’t expecting her. I never thought I’d see her again. I moved into Saint’s place two days ago. How did she know where to find me?My thoughts were currently swarming my head. It was my first day in the senior year of college and she had ruined it for me already. I hated her. “I don’t want to talk about her.”“Adriana–“I turned around in his arms, cutting him off. “You should be on your way to work. Aren’t you late?”Saint knew exactly what I was doing but he had always been perceptive enough to let it go. “Sweetheart, I’m the boss. Who would ask questions?” I c
Adriana Jensen~•~“Baby, if you don’t cheer up, people will think I did something bad to you.”I made a sound that was somewhere between a laugh and a sniffle. “I’m happy,” I assured him. “It’s just weird that all three of us will never be in the same class again. Everyone will get busy.”“You can do your masters together?” He offered.I made a face. “I don’t want to study anymore.”Saint laughed and pulled me closer to him so he could drop a kiss on my forehead. “You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to.”Just those few words had me feeling better and looking forward to our vacation. “Where are we going this time?”“Where do you want to go?”I chuckled. “You already have it planned out. Do you intend to change it if I say a different location?”He nodded.“Just tell me.”“How do you like Italy?” He asked as he played with my hair.A big grin immediately came on my face. “We’re going to Italy?” I squealed. On our last vacation, we went to Paris. Saint was taking me to all the
Adriana Jensen~•~The last six months of my life have been the best, mainly because of my relationship with Saint. We had our fights here and there because two stubborn people in a relationship were bound to be trouble, but we always got over it.Well, Saint forced me to talk whenever I gave him the silent treatment. He was the mature one. Sometimes, I wondered if he was tired of dating a younger girl. If he was, he never showed it.I was currently at a restaurant with my family and Saint’s family, including Ben, yes. Over time, I’d learned to tolerate him, but he did apologize a few months ago so we were good. I would never get along with him the way I got along with Luca but I didn’t try to scratch out his eyes whenever I saw him so there was that.Benjamin and Fabiola hadn’t lasted. Word got out that Fabiola cheated on Ben, but after that, we all found out that Ben was also cheating on Fabiola. Apparently, they were in love and were both devastated by the other’s cheating even if
Adriana Jensen~•~“What are you up to this time?”It was cold out but as always, fashion came first. I was wearing a dress and Saint took advantage of that, bunching it up so he could trace my slit through my panties.He chuckled. “How are you playing games when you’re this wet?”I shrugged. “Maybe, I just like the chase.”“You like the chase?” He asked to confirm and I nodded.Saint took a step back and his eyes ran up and down my body once. His eyes were dark, almost predatory. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, I ran.The door was still open and I heard them start to close before I heard his slow footsteps behind me. He wasn’t running. I had never been good at sports and he was taller than I was so it wasn’t surprising that he only had to walk to catch up with me.My dress was making it harder to run and I was tempted to just take it off, but it was going to make it easier for him. That wasn’t what I wanted.“You’re making this harder for yourself.” He
Adriana Jensen~•~My jaw dropped.Right from time, my mom had been cool about our relationship. She had been the first to approve all those months ago. Why was she asking such a question that implied that Saint was a creep?“Mom!” I hissed out, but she blatantly ignored me, staring at the man beside me, and awaiting his answer. I turned to Saint. “You don’t have to answer that.”Saint also ignored me. “I’m not certain what you mean by that, ma’am, but if you’re asking if I’m only attracted to younger girls, then the answer is no. I like Adriana because she is Adriana. If I only liked her for her age, then I’m afraid our relationship wouldn’t last, would it?”“So you mean you’ll be together for a long time?”“A very long time,” Saint affirmed with a tight smile. I knew the question was uncomfortable but he had handled the situation well. It was one of the reasons I liked Saint. He was always in control. “She’s smart, funny, beautiful, kind, and doesn’t give up.” My cheeks heated up at
Saint Giordano~•~“Are you nervous?” Adriana asked me.I arched an eyebrow and stared pointedly at the leg that had been shaking for the past few minutes. With a chuckle, I placed one hand on her leg while the other was on the steering wheel. “Baby, I think you’re the one who’s nervous.”She laughed dryly. “Me? Nervous? Why would I be nervous?”“You tell me.” I gave a one-shouldered shrug. “Why are you nervous?”“I’m not nervous. I’ve lived with them for years:”“If you say so, baby.” I let her believe whatever she wanted.We were having Thanksgiving dinner at her parents’ place. According to her, it would be the first time I was officially meeting them so everything had to go well. I told her not to worry but she was worried anyway.It didn’t matter that her sisters were also bringing their partners. She had main character energy so she thought all the attention would be on her. It was cute.I didn’t know why she was so worried. Her father already knew I was going to marry her, whic
Adriana Jensen~•~I sighed at the reminder of my meeting with Lisa. I had called her earlier this week saying that we could meet up. The relief in her voice was obvious. She had been waiting for more than a month after all. It was already time for us to meet, but I was going to make her wait a bit more. She had me waiting for her for years before I accepted the fact that I had a new mother.“She can wait for me. After all, I waited a long time for her.”Saint chuckled, squeezing my shoulder in a comforting manner. “True.”Before me, Saint went to work all the days of the week. He even tried to do it on some weekends since I moved in with him, but I was stubborn and bratty (according to him) so I didn’t let him. Our compromise was to let him work from home instead, but for shorter hours and with breaks in between.“Just let me know when you’re ready. I’ll drive you.”I looked at the time. It was thirty minutes past the time we planned to meet but she hadn’t called yet. I guess I cou
Adriana Jensen ~•~Living with Saint was more fun than I expected it to be. It gave me an inkling of what our married life was going to be like… except Luca living with us, of course.Fuck. I was so down bad. I wanted to be a wife so badly and it was starting to get in my head. I wouldn’t be surprised if I ended up proposing to him instead. We had been together for only three months yet I loved him this much.It was never like this with Ben. Maybe I didn’t love him at all.But then again, Ben never treated me the way Saint did. Ben didn’t go out of his way to make me comfortable. He didn’t make time out of his busy schedule to cook for me. He didn’t consider me before making a decision. He didn’t decline business because of me. He didn’t take me on a trip as an apology.Things were different with Saint and I knew it. I just hoped it wouldn’t end badly.“Apart from trying to constantly trick me into bed,” Saint started one afternoon when I was in his home office with him while he work
Adriana Jensen~•~The two men stopped what they were doing to look up, getting surprised when they saw that it was me.“Adriana.” Saint was the first to break the silence. “I didn’t know you were coming?” It came out more like a question.I smiled awkwardly. “Yeah, I’m just gonna go.” I took a step back. “I’ll let you guys talk. See you later.”I turned around, more than ready to bolt out of that place when my father’s voice stopped me. “Adriana.”I did one-eighty. “Yes?”“Come in.”I was reluctant to go in and it amused Saint. I knew that at some point, both of them were going to have to be in the same room, but I didn’t expect that it would be today. Besides, why the hell were they meeting without me? What did they have to talk about? Who initiated the visit?“Are you going to keep the door open?” Saint added.I glared at him, but took a step inside and closed the door behind me. “Hi, dad.”He gave me a once over, assessing my get-up. “Are you coming back from school?” I nodded. “A
Adriana Jensen~•~Sofia and Charlotte came to a halt and they both stared at me before they turned to look at the woman who was starting to get on my nerves.“Who is she?” Charlotte leaned in to whisper.I sighed. This woman was determined to get into every part of my life, wasn’t she? “You guys can go ahead. Give me a second.”Charlotte looked like she wanted to ask more questions, but Sofia dragged her away and gave me my space. I walked closer to Lisa. “What do you want this time?”“Can we talk?”“I doubt we have anything to talk about,” I informed her with a fake smile. “And if I spend more time with you now, I’ll be late for my class.”I turned to leave, but she held my wrist. “I’m sorry.” She breathed out. “I know very well that I’m at fault for leaving you and I was a bitch for approaching you like that the first time. I just thought you wouldn’t want to listen to my endless apologies.”“You’re right.” I snatched my hand away and turned around, feeling something other than ang
