129.The students began murmuring as Hazel stormed through the halls, her balls fisted as she walked to where Amber was with Melissa. Amber had accompanied Melissa to submit their project and was already preparing to go home for the break the doctor asked her to take when Hazel stormed towards them."You!" she seethed, barely able to contain her anger.Amber stared at Hazel, her eyes widening in shock and amusement. Melissa couldn't help bursting into fits of laughter. Hazel was beaten and battered from head to toe. Her face was all swollen and her hand was already in a cast. Her forehead has been bandaged as well, making her look almost unrecognizable. The only way the girls could tell she was the one was through her cheerleading captain uniform.Amber knew Cole had gotten her revenge on her behalf. She stared at Hazel, a bemused expression on her face while Hazel glared at her like she couldn't wait to get rid of her."You fucking set me up! How dare you?" she snarled, her fists bal
130.Amber gasped as Axel helped her into the luxurious and well decorated outdoor restaurant. Her eyes widened at the decor, the crystal lights dancing around flower bushes, the water fountain in front of her and the exotic food and drinks, set on the table, waiting for her and calling her name. A smile graced her lips.“Tadaaa!” Axel spread out his arms, showing her the beauty of the place.Amber turned to face him, literally bubbling with smiles. This was the best makeup date. She didn’t even have to think twice before forgiving him for making her miss him so much. “So… do you like it?” Axel asked, taking her good hand in his.Amber nodded with a smile. “I love it,” she said, still looking around. It’s so amazing I feel like I can’t get enough of it.”Axel blushed as he chuckled a bit. He hadn’t been able to spend time with her for a while now due to things he had to take care of at school and the big project he was working on. But now that he was less busy, he was going to make i
131.Two weeks later…“Well, that’s all for today,” Professor David said as he closed his laptop and smiled at the students who began returning their notepads and iPads into their bags. This was the last classes for today and due to how occupied the day had been for them, they felt like breaking.“Our continuous assessment will commence soon,” he said and the students began murmuring. Professor David raised his hand and they all quieted down immediately. “The date hasn’t been announced yet. We will be having a board meeting with the vice chancellor and school management to fix a date that wouldn’t be too inconvenient for you guys. As you know, the mass communication students would be going on a camping trip with the arts and entertainment department soon. We are still trying to look for ways to make sure everything falls into place,” he took his laptop. “Until then, see you. And please, read your books. This might be second semester but you aren’t freshmen anymore.” Without waiting fo
132.Amber's lips curled into a teasing smile as she trailed her hand down Axel's back, her fingers grazing over his slick skin. "Mmhmm, and what exactly is my wish?" she teased, pressing her body against his.Axel shuddered once more, goosebumps erupting along his skin. "Well, I believe your wish is for me to show you just how much I've missed you," he said, his voice husky and full of desire. His hands gripped her hips, pulling her closer, and Amber gasped as she felt his hardness pressing against her lower back.Amber let out a small moan, arching her back and pressing herself harder against Axel's body. "That's right," she whispered, her voice dripping with need. "And I've missed you too. You have no idea how much."Axel turned around, his eyes dark with lust as he took in the sight of her naked body. His hand slid up her waist, cupping her breast as his lips captured hers in a searing kiss.Amber moaned against his mouth, her tongue tangling with his as he backed her against the
133.Axel smirked, his finger sliding deeper into Amber's soaking core, eliciting a low moan from her lips. "More, huh?" he teased, his finger pumping slowly in and out of her, teasing her sensitive walls. "I thought you'd never ask."Amber whimpered, her hips bucking against his hand as she sought more stimulation. "Yes, please," she gasped, her eyes pleading with him. "I need you, Axel. I need you inside me."Axel leaned forward, pressing his lips against hers in a searing kiss as his finger continued to move inside her. His finger withdrew from Amber, his eyes never leaving hers as he positioned himself between her legs. He traced a hand down her body, his fingers brushing against her sensitive skin as he aligned himself with her entrance.Amber's breath quickened as she felt him at her core, her hands gripping his arms as she arched her back in anticipation.Axel entered her with one smooth thrust, groaning as he filled her completely. Amber cried out, her nails digging into his s
134.The school bus rolled down the road, the engine humming as it carried the mass communication and students towards the destination of their much-anticipated camping trip. The arts and entertainment students had to take another school bus since this wouldn’t fit them all.Amber and Axel were seated side by side, their hands interlocked under the cover of their jackets. Amber was giddy that she got to attend this camping trip with them. She was happy she didn’t decline and stayed at home. She had no idea it was for all levels of the mass communication students. She thought it was only them, but thank goodness, she now had Axel, Melissa and Jack.Maybe this wasn’t going to be so bad after all.Melissa, seated across from them, leaned over and smiled slyly at Amber. "You seem awfully chipper today, Amber," she said, wiggling her eyebrows playfully.Amber snickered. “Oh, you should know why, Mel.”Melissa grinned mischievously, her eyes dancing with amusement. "So, you and Axel plannin
135.That night, after being told the camp rules and regulations, the students gathered around the camp fire. Their activities were to start the next day and they were to use this night to catch up but both groups didn’t look like they were interested in catching up.Amber wrapped her arms around herself when a guy approached her. He was from the arts and entertainment group. “Hey,” he said.Amber looked up, her brows furrowing at the handsome brown haired boy in front of her. Seeing him, she already knew where he was from. “How can I help you?” she asked, her tone flat.The boy, knowing the reason for her dry reply forced a smile and took a seat beside her. “I just wanted to commend what you did this afternoon. I like how you told your story and left everyone speechless.” Amber smiled, feeling good for her victory. The arts and entertainment students stayed off her turf since that happened. And she became quite popular amongst her fellow mass comm students, who saw her as their savi
136.Later that night while everyone was already asleep, Amber snuck out to where she and Axel had agreed to meet up. They hadn’t been able to spend time together due to the number of students at the campsite, and how they were never able to get enough privacy. Nights seemed to be the only time they’d be able to spend time together. “You made it,” Axel beamed, stretching out his hand to her. Amber took his hand, her face beaming with smiles. “Of course. I wouldn’t miss spending time with you for anything.”Axel chuckled as they walked away from the campsite and into the woods. “I have already prepared the perfect place.” He had found a swimming pool when he had gone sightseeing while the students were parking. Since it was a campsite, he was sure they had built it for people who came to relax and it looked well taken care of. It was so beautiful that he couldn’t wait to show it to Amber. It filled him with so much excitement that he was going to show her now.The moon helped in lig
095.Amber walked out of the company with a sigh. She took her phone and called Axel. He answered immediately, making her wonder if he had been waiting for her call. Well, he did ask her to call him if she was uncomfortable.“Hello, Cat eyes,” his voice sounded from the other end, causing her heart to flutter. “Are you done with the interview?”“Yes,” Amber answered with a sigh.“How did it go? You slind conflicted.” Amber smiled. He knew exactly how she felt just from the sound of her voice. “Not really. I'm fine. It's just... you know, normal exes talk, but I'm cool.”“Do you want me to come pick you up? Take you for lunch or something?” he asked.“As much as I'd love that, I wouldn't wanna bother you or come in the way of your job. You seemed really busy today.” Axel scoffed from the other end. “I'm never too busy for you, Amber. You're my priority.”Amber blushed and giggled. “That's so sweet. But don't worry, I'm going to get lunch with Melissa,” she said and Axel groaned which
094.CLOUD LIMITED “She's coming, Jack,” Trent said, his voice low and cautious. “Don't make things awkward. Just be professional and no emotional talks during the interview.”“I know,” Jack groaned. “Fuck, I'm not a kid.”Trent sighed and shook his head. When Amber finally got to where they stood, she forced a smile. “Good morning, Mr. Griffin. Morning, Trent.” Amber greeted them.Jack felt a pang of pain and balled his fists, but Trent stylishly tapped him. Jack comported and smiled albeit strained. “Welcome to Cloud Limited, Reporter Amber,” he said and gestured to the door. “Please, after you.”Amber nodded with a smile and walked in while they followed behind. She knew her way around the company since they dated before, but she didn't want to use all that to her advantage now. “Could you please lead the way to your office? Or would you prefer we have the interview somewhere else?” she asked with a calm smile.Jack
093.Amber woke up the next morning feeling like she’d won a lottery. She stretched and turned, her eyes meeting with that of Axel, who was already dressed up and seated on the bed, watching her.Amber smiled at him and he cupped her cheeks. “Good morning, Cat Eyes, you look extremely beautiful in the mornings,” he pinched the cheek and Amber couldn't help chuckling.“Good morning, King,” she replied and Axel couldn't help giving her a cute smile. “You're ready for work? Already?” she asked and he shrugged.“What can I say? I'm an early bird. Unlike some people.” Axel mumbled the last part, but Amber heard him loud and clear.“It's too early to tease me, Mr. A,” she pulled him into a hug. “I wish I could stay here in your arms the whole day, but I've got an interview today.”Axel held her close, savoring the warmth of her body against his. “I know, baby. I want to be here with you too,” he smiled and Amber took in the masculine scent of his cologne. She wished she could stay in his ar
092.Axel chuckled, the sound low and throaty. “Well, I’m not done with you yet, my wicked kitten.” He settled himself between her thighs, positioning himself at her entrance.“Oh?” Amber raised an eyebrow, her lips curved in a seductive smile. “Is that so?”Axel’s eyes glinted with mischief. “You bet. This time, I’m going to claim every inch of you.”Axel’s hands gripped her thighs, his gaze locked onto hers as he pushed himself slowly, inch by delicious inch, into her waiting heat. Amber gasped, her back arching as he filled her completely.“Oh god, Axel…” she moaned, her hands sliding up his chest to tangle in his hair. “You feel so good.”Axel grunted, his hips starting a slow, sensual rhythm. “And you,” he breathed, nipping at her neck, “feel incredible.”Axel’s body became a well-oiled machine, every muscle moving in perfect rhythm as he thrust into Amber’s waiting heat. He watched the pleasure course through her body, her eyes rolling back, her lips parted in ecstasy. Her moans
091.Axel chuckled, and slid into the bathtub, his fingers playing along her breasts, circling closer and closer to her nipples. “Why, Amber, is it working?” he teased, his breath hot against her skin. “Should I stop?”Amber shook her head, her eyes fluttering closed. “No, please don't stop.” Her voice was barely above a whisper now, her whole body tingling with anticipation.Axel obliged, gently taking one of her nipples between his thumb and forefinger, rolling it delicately. Amber gasped, a soft moan escaping her lips as her body arched into his touch.Axel's hand moved to Amber’s other breast, kneading and caressing her soft flesh. His lips trailed down her neck, his tongue swirling against her skin. “You're so beautiful, Amber. So perfect,” he murmured, his voice thick with desire.Amber let out a low moan, her breath coming faster now. Her skin was flushed with excitement, her nipples hard against his palms. She reached back, pulling him closer, her lips seeking his.Their lips
090.“Would you like dinner before a bath?” Axel asked as they walked into his house.Amber collapsed on the couch. “I wish I can have both, but let's take care of the most important first. I'm starving.” she pouted with cute puppy eyes that made Axel smile at her.“Then I'll whip up something fast and delicious for you to eat,” he removed his suit jacket and undid two buttons of his shirt. He rolled his sleeves and turned to look at Amber who watched him with a dreamy expression.He chuckled and walked to the kitchen. Amber followed him immediately. She took a seat and placed her jaw in her hands as she watched him.Amber’s tired eyes drank in Axel’s every move. There was something hypnotizing about watching him cook. She let the tension of the day slowly unwind, the sight of him so focused on his task soothing her frayed nerves.The clang of pots and pans, the sizzle of meat in the pan, the mouth-watering aromas—it all created a symphony of domesticity, a sense of calm she hadn’t fe
089.“I can't believe we're all going to work overtime because you chose to be lazy with your work,” Laura complained, glaring at Amber. “If you can't do it, you can just say it and give up.” she groaned and facepalmed.Amber said nothing as she typed away on her computer. She was following the process of the editing, and also adding some things into it herself. She wouldn't want what happened the last time to repeat itself.“Don't listen to her, Amber,” Gina encouraged her with a smile. “I know you can do it.”Amber smiled and nodded, her fingers working fast. It was almost an hour until they clock out.Vera leaned in and whispered to Laura. “What if she actually finishes up, Laura? What are we gonna do then?” Laura scoffed. “There is no fucking way she would be able to finish in time. Trust me, she started from the beginning. She'd have to listen to the recordings and stuff all over again. There's no way she can-"“I'm done!” Amber exclaimed, drawing everybody's attention.“What!”
088.Amber rushed to Laura's desk and slammed her hands on it, startling the young lady who was busy on her laptop. "How could you? Have you no conscience?" she yelled, drawing the attention of their colleagues.They hadn't seen Amber this angry before so it drew their attention and their eyes perked up to know what Laura had done to make Amber snap.Laura looked at Amber, confusion etched on her face. "What are you talking about?""Don't you dare act oblivious with me. Don't act like you have no idea what I'm talking about." Amber was seething now. "That's because I have no idea what you're talking about. If you have nothing to do with your time, please, move aside. I have an article to post for tomorrow's magazine."Amber's fists balled. "Oh, so now you have no idea what you did, right? Let me refresh your memory. You've been stepping on my toes and trying to sabotage every little thing I do, I've tolerated that. Then you set me up with that bastard at the club and ruined my reputa
087."Ms. June, I don't think I'm the right person for this interview," Amber forced a smile. "I mean, I already have loads of work in hand, and it wouldn't be nice to add Cloud Limited to the list, now would it? I'm sure there are tons of reporters that would be interested. Like..." she trailed, trying to think of the perfect person. She had already given Gina some parts of her work. She wouldn't want to stress the young lady out with more work.Laura? She internally scoffed. Laura set her up and almost ruined her reputation. She wouldn't want to give Laura, but then Laura and Jack would be a perfect match, right?Before she could say anything, Ms. June raised a palm to stop her. "Amber, listen," she sighed and leaned forward in her chair. "I understand you're busy with interviews and the likes, but you got to understand that they asked you to come personally. And you know we can't turn them down when the Lead Editor has approved of it, right?" Amber sighed and ruffled her hair. Loo
