The brunette was somewhat surprised to see the dark-haired man in front of her house, who simply said:"Tom... What are you doing here?"To which the dark-haired man sarcastically replied:"Katherina, I'm also delighted to see you."The brunette noticed his sarcastic tone and said:"I... I apologize, I just didn't know you were coming or anything like that.""It's alright, Katherina. I didn't inform you or anything of the sort.""Adding to the fact that you've never been to my house before," Katherina said, and the opposite nodded. He had never been to her house before, not even remotely, so in that regard, she was right.Tom spoke:"You're right. But I came for something...""And what would that something be?" she asked, somewhat curious."This," he replied with his trademark smile before running towards his red Cadillac, retrieving a beautiful bouquet of white tulips and several colorful balloons that were haphazardly floating above it. Once he had what he needed in his hands, he ap
Something was simmering over medium heat, just like that. And it was none other than a question: Haven't you ever experienced that when you hear what seems to be a good joke, you laugh until you can't anymore? That your body feels weak from repeated laughter? Has that ever happened to you?Because if so, there's an answer to that, and it was at this moment, outside the campus, the three of them sitting on the bleachers of the football field during their short break, laughter bursting forth, trying to lower the intensity but unable to.Harrison, seated on the top row, placed his hands on the shoulders of the dark-haired guy sitting in the second row and said amidst laughter:"Oh, Tom Mikaelson. For the love of money and everything it entails, I can't believe this: Did you really spend ten thousand dollars on everything you did?" He asked the question and laughed even harder. "Don't mess with me, Mikaelson. I haven't even spent that much money on myself, and I'm a braggart when it comes
With that said, both opponents looked towards the court entrance and indeed, there came the brunette. They simply stopped talking about the subject and tried not to burst into laughter about it. Katherina walked towards them, more precisely towards the dark-haired one, who smiled at her, opened his arms to embrace her when she was already in front of him. Katherina embraced him back with a smile."Hello, beautiful." The dark-haired one said, giving her a chaste but tender kiss on the forehead and lips. Harrison and Laya, who were behind the brunette, chuckled at their friend's behavior and how the brunette fell for it. Tom glared at both of them, silently urging them to control themselves, and with a gesture beneath his hand, he asked them to step back, even if just a little, and they did. He focused on the brunette once again. "How are you?" he asked, caressing her hands when they stopped hugging.Katherina took a deep breath and responded after exhaling."I'm doing fine. But, the th
Days passed, and everyone attending university was somewhat surprised, or rather completely surprised, by how a certain brunette and a certain dark-haired guy went from hate to... something they thought was impossible but was happening. Yes, love? Indeed, the question marks couldn't be left behind, especially if such a drastic change between Katherina and Tom Mikaelson wasn't fully accepted. They had become very, very close, as if the years of attacks, fights, and hatred had never existed, as if the ice storm between them had never happened. It was explosive, what they had was explosive, or at least that's what a large part of the university was calling it.Damn, not even their parents were fully grasping the situation. Neither Tom's siblings and friends, nor Katherina's friends were. It seemed impossible, some sort of game, a overwhelming and terrifying reality.Yes, that was the case, or at least for others. In any case, they wouldn't meddle in that nest that had transformed from in
Clara looked at her daughter, not understanding why she had let out that sudden exclamation. So she asked her:"What's wrong, my dear?"Katherina responded, trying to speak in a normal tone."Nothing, Mother. It's just... This dinner is wonderful, it makes me happy... Seeing Tom's father enjoying himself, that's all."Upon hearing this, the parents of the dark-haired boy and her own parents looked at each other and smiled, happy that she felt that way. However, in reality, the brunette was desperately trying to get Tom to stop what he was doing, but it seemed impossible.Katherina spoke again as the adults refocused on their conversation. She looked at the dark-haired boy."Enough, Tom," she pleaded in a low tone, pretending to adjust herself in her chair, but it wasn't about that. Katherina reached for a beer on the table and took a long sip, trying to hide her stifled moan from the rest.Tom noticed and chuckled a bit, asking her, "Is the diet beer tasty, sweetheart?" His mocking to
Midnight fell and everyone was still enjoying themselves. Both sets of parents were on the dance floor, while the twins, along with their younger brother, played at the other end of the large table, deeply engrossed in their game. Meanwhile, the brunette and a certain dark-haired individual remained seated next to each other, exchanging glances without saying a word until Katherina broke the silence with a loud exclamation that made the other person laugh."You're such a jerk, Tom."The dark-haired individual replied, "I love it when you get angry, Katherina," he purred mockingly. In response, Katherina struck him on the thigh, to which the dark-haired individual pretended to be hurt and, still teasingly, asked her, "Why was that, sweetheart?"Katherina replied, "Because of what you did earlier, Tom. It wasn't the right time.""That's not what your lovely reactions down there seemed to imply, Katherina," he said in a husky tone, biting his own lips, causing the brunette to melt under
After their encounter at the dark-haired father's house, several days passed where Katherina and Tom were inseparable, both at university and on park outings, filled with laughter, anecdotes, and jokes. It seemed like nothing could tear them apart, especially when the dark-haired guy had asked the dean a few days earlier to place him in philosophy and Spanish classes, not so much because he liked them, but because the brunette was in those classes. They often got distracted by silly things or engaged in brief kisses, making sure the professors didn't see them, or indulging in that typical distraction where the brunette was next to the dark-haired guy and she reached for his crotch, playing with the bulge, getting back at Tom for something he had done days ago. That, and other things, they did when no one was watching.They seemed like the explosive couple of the moment. But now, in the present, something was off. Katherina had been absent from classes for several days - four to be exa
Clara, who was sitting on the couch and feeling somewhat calmer after pouring her heart out to the dark-haired man and hearing his affection for her daughter, smiled at him and said:"Tom, Katherina is in her room. If you want, you can go up." Is that okay? "Tom asked.Clara replied, "No, of course not."Tom nodded and said, "Alright... I'll do that, but will she want to see me?""Of course she will, Tom," Clara replied. "I feel like it will be good for her to see you.""Alright, then. " Both of them stood up, and he asked, "Where is her room?""On the third floor, second door on the right," she answered, accompanying him to the staircase on the first floor. "It will be good for her to see you and have your company." Before turning around and heading to the kitchen, she said those words with a sideways sealed smile, and the dark-haired man nodded.Tom took a deep breath before starting to climb the stairs. He was adopting the mindset of understanding the brunette in this situation an
"What was that?" He frowned slightly as Tom pulled out of her and heard whispers behind the door.Tom, still panting, grabbed his light green long-sleeved shirt, got up alongside Katherina, handing her something from the closet. Cautiously, he went to the door, turned the doorknob, and as he opened it, two bodies fell to the floor.He looked down, seeing Justin and Jisoo, both red as tomatoes with nervous smiles on their faces.They clumsily got up from the floor, and Tom crossed his arms, looking at them with a raised eyebrow. "Can we know... what were you doing behind the door?" Katherina asked, putting on her blouse and standing next to Tom, who was staring at Jisoo and Justin, unwavering. He was standing with his arms crossed, emphasizing his muscles and his slightly clenched jaw. That melted her, but she looked back at the two boys. "You said yes!" Jisoo exclaimed excitedly, grinning. "You're getting married." "So that's... what you were doing..." Tom spoke. "Listening to what
"Are you ever going to stop looking at me?" Katherina asked Tom, who was standing by her side, his gaze fixed on her. "No..." He caressed her cheek, both of them still naked, covered only from the lower part of their bodies. "I never want to stop."Katherina smiled slightly, not showing her teeth. She closed her eyes, savoring the touch of Tom's fingers on her cheek. She sighed and felt Tom's lips on her temple before kissing her lips.The kiss was sweet, gentle, with no desire to ever stop kissing each other."I will love you to infinity. That's something no one can deny. I tried in so many ways to get you out of my mind, and the truth is, I couldn't. I realized I can't be without you, you're the only one I want with me, the only one, oh..."Tom looked into her eyes and smiled; it had been so long since he heard her voice, heard her sing. Katherina kissed his lips, nipping at them. "You're the biggest inspiration I have, Tommy." She whispered close to his lips. "Don't ever make me.
"What do you think they're doing?" She asked while standing outside the venue. "It's been two hours since we left them in there." "Rough sex, perhaps?" He said with a mischievous tone and laughed. "Those two..." "Shut up, Harrison." Belinda requested, and Hazz just stuck his tongue out. "I still can't believe that it worked."Neither Belinda nor Hazz knew about the rest's plan. In fact, they doubted that Katherina would go along with it.But she did.And that showed them that she still loved him, they both did.After leaving them in the room at the venue, they decided to go back and just think about what might have happened."... I'm going to go in." Justin said, and Maroon stopped him. "What?" "I think it's better not to go in." "They're in the room, not outside. Besides... I want to know if..." "No way!" The rest shouted, and Justin laughed. "You want to see everything." Daya said. "That room must be a mess." His eyes turned mischievous. "They must have had a lot to do in two
Every part of his body was electrified, and it was no wonder. His dark eyes were fixed on Katherina's eyes, feeling his lower part harden. Katherina pressed him closer to her, and their intimacies collided."Katherina...""Tom..." She took his face and simply kissed him.The atmosphere was too tense, their breaths were ragged, and their heartbeats racing. Katherina made certain movements, causing their sexes to rub against each other. Tom let out a moan near her mouth."Please... I'm begging you," Katherina gasped, placing her hands on Tom's chest. She was against the wall, and Tom was holding her.Tom moved his lips to Katherina's neck, leaving short kisses there. He missed doing this, he missed kissing her, having her beg him, not pushing him away.Katherina let out a moan as his lips touched her ears, nibbling on them. She pulled Tom's hair, roughly capturing his lips, biting them, kissing them passionately."I love you," she said, and Tom looked at her. "I never stopped. I tried,
"Sorry.I promised to love you forever,And it was true, there were no doubts in my mind.If destiny had different plans,And I hurt you by accident.Sorry.If I let go of you,If I didn't defend you,It was because my heart was blind.What a foolishness to lose you,To see it.I'm sorry.I don't expect love or hatred,I already have enough with my pain.I curse the episode,The worst part is that I was the one who wrote it.The demons that your forgetfulness leaves behind await me, they play with me.I know it's cowardly to ask for forgiveness in a song.Sorry.Sorry...Her voice faded away, and crying took over. Her throat closed up, and only her face sunk into the hollow of her neck. Her gasps were audible, her tears were felt; she truly said everything she felt.Like she had never done before. She was against the wall, and faced with everything that had been said, she couldn't help but break down in tears.Both of them were in tears."Please, Katherina." Tom said with a sob, looki
Katherina was looking at Bam, realizing as he saw her that apparently, all of this was yielding a different result. The least expected outcome happened. Her breath rose and fell somewhat quickly, she felt somewhat detached from her body, her heart was beating strongly, and in the face of it all, she felt her ears hurt. She looked at that facade and as she did, she furrowed her brow, tears ran down her cheeks, tears she tried to suppress."Katherina...," Maroon said while standing in front of her. "What's happening?""The photo..." she responded in a low tone. "It's just... Where did they get it from?""Why the question?" Justin spoke. "What matters is that apparently you liked it, it affected you too much," he murmured with a sigh. "Did you like it or not?""Where did they get the photo from?" she asked again, looking at Justin with a hardened expression."I don't know. You tell me," he said, arms crossed. "I don't understand why you want to know. It's just a photo.""A photo that not
"Oh my God!" she exclaimed with concern as she saw him enter. "Tom... What happened to you?" "Nothing, Mom," he replied as his mother checked his nose. "Mom, that's enough. It doesn't hurt." "But who the hell hit you like this?" asked her father. "It doesn't matter." "What do you mean it doesn't matter?" asked Sam. "One more punch, and you won't have a nose." He just frowned. He headed towards his room, taking for granted what his parents and siblings were yelling at him. He threw himself on his bed, covering his face with his hands, taking a deep breath, thinking about the idea that Daya had given him. He was nervous, doubtful. Truth be told, if this didn't work, he would leave it all behind.That caused his heart to tighten.With one hand, he took his cellphone out of his front pocket. He saw several messages from his parents, to which he didn't respond when he had left, and his parents thought something had happened to him. He just deleted them. Afterward, he chatted a bit wit
Take it or let it go, take it or let it go. You know perfectly well that all the suffering you feel, you totally deserve it. I think you're getting the point, baby... You crossed your limits, now you're here among the streets, thinking, "Now, who will I take as my beautiful origami?""It has to be some kind of joke," he said, removing the headphones from his ears. It seemed like the song was speaking more than he thought, and that filled him up. He let out a sigh and looked at the shops that were there before reaching his home. He saw one that was open and remembered that Katherina worked there, but he never had the chance to visit. (Or maybe he just made excuses not to go.) He crossed the street carefully and, standing in front of the shop, he rang the doorbell several times. "Come on... Someone... Hello!" he said, making a gesture when a man with long hair and dark eyes appeared on the other side of the door, looking at him. The man on the other side stared at him and then called so
"Definitely not worth giving her anything," Tom said after several minutes of walking back home with Harrison. After what happened at Katherina's house, Nadia thought it would be best for them to leave. Tom seemed more downcast than ever, gazing at the street floor with his hands in his pockets.Harrison placed his arm over Tom's shoulder and gave him a half-playful hug, ruffling his black hair. "She's the one missing out," he said. Tom looked at him as if to say, "Did you really just say that?" Harrison shrugged. "Sorry... Chocolate makes me say silly things," he chuckled, taking another cookie from his pocket and stuffing it into his mouth. "Wipe that look off your face," he asked Tom."I'm tired, Harrison. Bored. Look at what I've become," Tom held the broken necklace in his hand. "If only she knew that I'm just as broken as this necklace, maybe even more," he sighed heavily, burdened with pain. "I hated how, before leaving, Will showed up, and she just jumped on him and kissed him
