"You said that it was just sex.”“It was.”He let her go and she made her way to her room. He still had the power to hurt her with those simple words.Dinner time came and she was seated opposite him. The air was very tense. She had nothing to say to him.“Are you still mad at me?”“No Chase, I’m not. I don’t have anything to say to you.”“I see, so you’re mad.”“You know what? Everything in my life does not revolve around you. I want us to capture whoever is behind this.”“You want to leave that badly?”“Yes, I can’t wait.”“Fine, I will have to upgrade the security and when that is done, you may leave.”He walked away and left her there. She felt a sharp pain in her heart and went to her room. After a week, she was ready to go back to her place.Chase was not there, and she left. Part of her had hoped that he would ask her to stay, but he did not. She had not seen him the past week at all, after their chat about her wanting to leave.She finally went back to her place,Storm sat on
Chase took hold of her hand and placed it on his bare chest, “I’m real.”“Why show up now?”“Why must I not? Did something happen?”“Yes, Jeremy asked me to be his girlfriend.”“And what did you say to him?”“He said I should think about it.”“Is that why you’re drinking?”“Yes, out of guilt, I should have said yes, regardless.”“So why did you not?”“I don’t know.”“Clearly you don’t want to be his girlfriend.”“And how do you know that?”“You wouldn’t be here drinking.”“I will say yes when I see him.”“Fine, do that.”“Aren’t you at least a bit jealous?”“Why would I be?”“I’m your ex.”“So? You were the one that wanted to leave my place so badly.”“You were the one who dumped me, Chase, and I told you I loved you.”“So you wanted me to lie and tell you that I loved you back?”She swallowed a huge lump. “Part of me wanted you to, I guess.”“I see how much you wanted me.”“You’re the one that made me love and lose my mind, and you know that Jeremy is not the reason why we broke up.
“Who was that?”“No one.”“I’m not going to ask you twice.”“I really don’t, but I could sense them.”“What did they say?”“That I have some power and they will tell me later on.”“You aren’t planning to go alone, do you?”“I don’t know.”“You’re not that fucking stupid.”“I don’t want to fight now, Chase.”“Don’t you remember that someone is after you and you were injured?”“I know that, but maybe it is not them.”“You’re coming back to stay with me.”“I don’t want…………..”“I don’t give a shit. I need to watch you 24/7 so you don’t some stupid shit.”“No.”“What did you say to me?”“NO! You want to use your title and position to bully me. I don’t want to be around you anymore and I want to move on from you.”As Chase was about to come to her, she double-lunged and landed a blow. It caught him off-guard, her training was paying off.He looked at her with a smirk on his face and came to her as she tried again. He had her pinned on the ground. “Those work on others but not from me.”She
They got to his place, and she went to her room; it was a bit awkward after the hug, but after unpacking her things, she lay in bed.What did those people want from her, and what power did she have? Did they know her? She tossed and turned a bit.The conversation and the hug kept on creeping in. She grabbed her phone and texted Jeremy that she would see him tomorrow during lunch.Storm wanted to let him know that she wanted to be his girlfriend. There was a light knock on her door, “Come in.”Chase walked in. “Are you going to say yes?”“I’m not getting you?”“To Jeremy?”“Yes, it’s not like you want me.”“Okay, he is good for you and reliable.”“You were all those things for me, Chase.”“I know, but I’m not as steady as him.”“You were, and even now, you come out and protect me whenever I’m in danger and you make sure that I’m safe even now.”“I will always be there for you, no matter the cost.”“I missed being in your arms.”Days had gone by and the night with Chase was forgotten an
She now sat in between Paige and Meghan,“He did what?” Paige asked.At this moment, she did not give a rat’s ass if they could hear them. “Yes, she is in there with him.”“He thinks it’s a joke that he keeps playing you,” Meghan replied.“Honestly, I’m not even supposed to be mad. He did break up with me.”“It’s okay to be upset,” Paige replied.“I initiated most of those conversations.”“What do you want to do now?” Meghan replied.“I don’t know. Kelsey asked if I could leave but Chase refused.”“I think he enjoys tormenting you,” Paige replied.“Right, he seems to be the possessive type, and on a power trip,” Meghan replied.“I just need to work on catching the person that is causing all of this. I don’t want to stay with them or else I will lose my shit watching and hearing them.”“That’s tough, maybe eating together won’t be that bad,” Paige replied.“It is. We had dinner and it was awkward. Chase barely talks. Kelsey is strict, just a disaster.”Her friends listened to her as sh
“What happened?” Kelsey asked as she was assessing both of them in confusion.“A lot, go.” Chase let go of her elbow and she headed for her room, she could hear them talking in low tones, and she looked out the window.The forest and trees seemed to be calling her and she could see a light that was coming from the forest, what was it?She could not see properly, even though her vision was excellent, and who was capable of blinding her and being so alluring at the same time?Storm was trying to open the window when Chase barged into her room, she jumped, “Don’t you knock?”“Why were you trying to open the window.”“To get air.”He sat by the chair, “Go to sleep, I will watch over you.”“Can’t you come back in ten minutes?”“Not a chance.”“I need to change Chase!”“I have seen you before, so what is the big deal?”“You have a fiancé and we’re not together, I’m not budging on this.”“Fine.”She changed into her pajamas, and she was glad that Chase was coming to watch her, that meant tha
She went to the kitchen and saw that there was none for her, and was not surprised.“Come eat.” Said Chase.Storm was a bit confused at his words, as there was no plate for her, or was it inside the microwave?“I did not make any for you, I did not know if you wanted some.” Said Kelsey.“Oh.....okay.”“Come, you can share with me,” Chase replied.She lit up, got a fork and sat next to him, the food was delicious,“So what’s the plan for you today?” Kelsey asked her,“I have to go to classes and see my friends.”“I will come fetch you at the end of the day,” Chase replied to her.“Great, you can show me around,” Kelsey replied.After that, she went to her classes and afterward, she, Meghan, and Paige went back to their place and filled them in about what was happening at Chase’s place.Chase came, and before he could leave with her, Paige and Meghan were coming with her and he seemed over her but did not refuse.Paige and Meghan spoke but they were a bit timid with Chase there, they go
“Such a condescending bitch!” Meghan whispered.“Right, she is full of shit,” Paige added.“Thank you guys for standing up for me. It means a lot to me.”“You’re our best friend,” Paige replied.“Besides, I could not help it. She was on my last nerve.” Meghan replied.“I just want us to find these people. I miss us.”“So true, I don’t know how you are going to do it,” Meghan replied, and her friends really looked very sad for her.“I think that I will try to tell Chase that I want to leave.”“Do you think he will agree?” Paige replied.“I have to, I can’t do this anymore. The torture and seeing him all the time has made me lose myself. I just need to stop seeing him all the time.”She did not know why she was feeling all sorts of emotions. Storm pressed the tears back, worrying her friends was not nice.Some time went by, Paige and Meghan left and she sat in her room, all the emotions that she had been holding in came out all at once.Storm felt as if she had no control over her life.
Storm was nervous, Chase’s father could be here on any given day, and that made her all the more sick.She was nervous to the point that she felt like vomiting, apparently, Kelsey would also be talking to him and at times she would come to rub it in her face with a facade in front of Chase.Today was the day, everyone knew he had arrived, he had such a huge role and now she was shaking in fear.She was seated with Meghan and Paige, her friends tried to calm her down but it was not working. Storm even hoped for Chase to say he changed his mind and would cancel.She started to get ready, Meghan and Paige were reassuring her and told her that everything is fine.“Are you ready?”Chase was looking her over,“Yes, is something wrong with my outfit?”“No, you look beautiful, back to my question, are you ready?”“What choice do I have?”“Don’t worry, I’m with you.”He took her hand and kissed it, they went to the restaurant at the back, it was a special reservation and when they walked in St
Storm made her way to his room and wanted to talk it out with Chase. Although her response to him had upset him, he still walked with her.He did not say anything, and when she talked to him, he would barely reply, and that made her very anxious.Storm wished she had lied, but he could read her easily, and if she refused to answer, that would have been the same thing. Not answering is an answer in itself.She went to the living room and sat close to him, “I’m sorry.”“For what?”“For saying yes.”“You told me the truth, I asked and hate being lied to, at least you were honest and that is great for our relationship to be built on trust.”“But what does that help with? If you’re so mad at me.”“It hurts, but why would you think I would get bored of you.”“When we did break up, you went to other girls and I thought you had grown tired of me.”“I never broke up with you just because I was bored.”“Then why go to other girls?”“I needed to forget, thinking about you was torture, and knowin
“Can I talk to you alone?”Storm turned to Jeremy. “Sure.”“We need to head back, anyway, we will catch up later.” This time it was Meghan.“Alright, I will see you guys later.”She followed Jeremy to a quiet place, “I wanted to ask if we could go out again?”“I can’t?”“Saturday?”“I’m back together with Chase, I’m sorry.”Jeremy looked hurt, but then it was replaced with being upset. “After all that he has done to you?”“I know but I love him.”“You love him? What does that solve?”“He also wants to be with me, no matter what he loses.”“I guess he will always win.”“What do you mean by that?”“He is the alpha, he has the looks, intensity, and everyone wants to be friends with him and I guess I stood no chance, did I?”“You would, the only reason that I went out with him was that he always was there for me and he pursued me.”“As if I can believe that.”“I swear Jeremy, I had no intention to be with him. I had liked Brian first, but that did not work out as I ended up with Chase.”“
Today Chase walked her to the lunch area, but he had to leave but wanted to make sure that there were people that could help her in case of an emergency.Storm sat as she waited for Paige and Meghan to arrive, but instead of them it was Kelsey who arrived looking as if she wanted to bite her head off.“You think you won?”Storm looked at Kelsey. “Sorry.”“You really think that Chase will give up everything for you?”“Well, he is now.”“You’re painfully naïve.”“I suppose.”“If you really loved Chase, you would not be ruining his childhood dream, his destiny and the path that he has to choose.”“Why are you telling me all this?”“It’s simple. Chase will resent you down the line for making him miss this chance.”“We will figure it out on our own.”Kelsey scoffed, “Not only are you naïve, but dumb, too.”“Are you done?”“Nope, just came to tell you that you should back off from him.”“I won’t do that.”“Time will tell. Wait till you meet his father.”She swallowed a lump, the way she had
Storm woke up and Chase was not next to her but then she was surprised when she realized that she was in his room.He walked in, “You’re awake?”“How did I get here?”“I carried you of course.”“Why?”“You’re going to be sleeping in my room so I can watch over you all the time and we can have some fun.”“What will Kelsey say?”“I sent her back to her place.”“What?”“I told her that you and I are back together.”“We are?”“You don’t want to be back together?”“Of course I do.” She stood up and jumped into his arms. Chase caught her easily as she straddled him. “I love you so much.”Chase grinned, “I know.”She kissed him and loved his response.Chase pulled her along, and she sat in between his legs in the bath. His hands explored so many places and it made her cheeks bloom with color.When they were done, they sat in the living room and she was next to him on the couch. When they were done, she lay her head on his lap as he played with her head.“I missed this, and I really missed you.
“Such a condescending bitch!” Meghan whispered.“Right, she is full of shit,” Paige added.“Thank you guys for standing up for me. It means a lot to me.”“You’re our best friend,” Paige replied.“Besides, I could not help it. She was on my last nerve.” Meghan replied.“I just want us to find these people.
