" I infinitely appreciate that you helped me bring him that day," he said while they were in the living room. "Would you like something to drink, Collins?"" No, thank you, Dominic. What I want is for Tom, besides getting better, to stay away from Katherina," he said in a serious tone, and Dominic nodded, letting out a sigh. "Since when has he been dealing with the pressure?" he asked, crossing his arms due to the brunette's fainting spell a few days ago." He doesn't suffer from it, it's just that, as the doctor explained to me, he experienced a drop in blood pressure due to all the distress," he replied, and Collins nodded. "I didn't think he would react like that to everything that happened."" Pay more attention to him," he suggested. "Mrs. Nikki," he said as he saw her enter from the second floor. "How are things up there?" The doctor told me that Tom hasn't been eating properly for several days," Nikki said, causing Dominic to furrow his brow in confusion." But how? I myself h
Everyone was heading straight to the university. Katherina was with Belinda and Jisoo, who were trying to uplift the brunette's spirits. It had been quite difficult to get her to be with everyone today on the way to the university, but they succeeded.Min was talking animatedly with Iu, and they would sometimes burst into laughter. It was incredible how Min managed to get into the university just to be close to her friends. Definitely, having Idris as a god in the eyes of the principal and the director had its benefits."Those two..." Belinda muttered, looking at where Iu and Min were, both very cheerful. "There's something about them.""Since Min arrived, they've been inseparable. I guess they like each other. Don't you think?" She now looked at Katherina, who seemed a bit distant. "Katherina..."After a while, the brunette spoke up, her smile somewhat forced. "Yes, Belinda? Well...""Katherina, I'm asking you, don't give up.""I'm not doing that," she replied, greeting some friends
The heart is the central organ of blood circulation, which in the lower body is simply a dilation of a vessel, and in the upper body is muscular, contractile, and has two, three, or four chambers that adequately support its function. However, on the other hand, there is something that will never help and is quite clear: the intermittent pain felt in response to words that tear apart. That's how the heart felt, whose beats were screaming to stop.His brown gaze remained fixed on that spot where Katherina was before she left and uttered those words.Simple. I don't love you anymore. It repeated over and over like a scratched record in his mind. He couldn't hear the slightest noise, only the sound of his heart, breaking."Tom..." someone called, passing in front of his face, their hand extended. "Hey." They patted his cheeks until they managed to make him look at them. "Brother..." Their blue-eyed gaze turned sad as they looked into his eyes. "Enough, I beg you," they said, wiping away h
It is unlikely that an act would have the same effect on everyone.I'm referring to Tom, of course, anyway...How would you react if, in order to accept an apology, someone unexpectedly kissed you?Exactly. That's what happened, that's what everyone saw.Both hands on her cheeks, bringing his face closer to hers, and his lips touched hers. Surprise struck, both the boy himself and everyone in the hallway.And that resulted in..."You're forgiven," she said, smiling at him, and the boy, with a crimson face, smiled back, and it seemed even wider. "Isn't it lovely?" She looked up and asked her friends, who looked on, unable to believe what they saw. "What? Anyway..." She looked at the redhead again. "What's your name?""I'm called...""What the hell are you doing?" Her voice sounded angry, a voice she recognized.Katherina looked ahead."Mother!" she exclaimed upon seeing her standing a few meters away with her arms crossed. She quickly stood up, and the redhead did the same. "What... ar
Everything done at the pace of the victor receives, from that, the satisfaction's stride. It was a small phrase that had been said from his lips with such grace and arrogance that now, it only refutes itself in the worst ways, internally."Tom! Tom!" he shouted, trying to catch up with him, running until they reached the outskirts of the university. "Take me," he muttered between his running. When the hell did he start running so fast? He wondered, already internally annoyed. "No, I've got you now!" he exclaimed, finally reaching him and grabbing him by the arm, breathless. He took a deep breath. "Enough... Stop struggling with me!" he yelled."And you, stop following me! Get out of here, Harrison. I don't need you to be...""Shut up! I'm not leaving here, I didn't run all the way down that damn hallway to turn back around," he interrupted, and Tom started saying so many things that only made him angrier. "You. Shut me up. I'm the one talking, I'm here, and I don't give a damn if you
"Alright... Are we officially a couple now?" he asked, looking at her with his dark blue eyes. "Should I call you 'my lady' or 'my love'?" he asked, and she laughed. "I'm serious," he said."You can call me whatever you want." She kissed his cheek, and he smiled. "Did you manage to get them all?""The papers?" She nodded. "Yes, they're all here. I just need to give them to the director." She said as she put the papers in her backpack. "Hey..." She looked at the others. "Is there any problem with...?""I need to talk to you," he interrupted with seriousness. "Both of you. I want to know when my daughter started dating someone else." He crossed his arms and noticed her daughter's twisted expression. "I saw you, Katherina.""Mum, what do you want him to say?""I've never seen you around here," she evaded her daughter's question and looked at him. "You're not from here, are you?""No, ma'am," he replied, pulling on one side of his backpack. "Uh... I'm from Santa Monica, California," he ad
Being outside the university, Will said some funny things that made everyone laugh. He was a guy full of humor, and everyone knew it. They were minding their own business until Katherina was called with a voice that sounded like a squeal, she knew who it was."Shaila, what... What do you want?" Will said, noticing that the girl was just a few steps away from Tom."I wanted to know if you could come to a party I'm hosting tonight," she said, handing him a small piece of paper. "Your friend can come too," she added, looking Will up and down mischievously."I'm not his friend, miss. I'm his boyfriend," Will clarified, kissing Katherina on the cheek. Dalia stopped looking at him playfully."So you quickly forgot about Tom?" she asked, and the aforementioned person was standing behind Dalia, observing everything."Are you already moving on so fast?" she smiled cynically."I will tonight," Will replied, winking at her, eager to make her angry. "Don't you mind, right?""I... You can do whate
" This guy is awesome!" he exclaimed with a joyful laugh. "How the hell haven't I seen you before?"" I wonder the same thing!" he exclaimed, and they laughed. "You're way too energetic for your age."" I know," they laughed. "Katherina, honey," he called, taking a sip of water. "This guy is a catch," he told her, and the brunette laughed at her father's happiness.It's well known that phrase parents always say when they see the guy you like, or the guy you're attracted to..."If I see that guy near you, he's going to meet my friend, Dr. Pistol."A threat that may or may not be taken seriously. It all depends on when the time comes, but in this case, it seems that won't happen.Will introduced himself, and from the perspective of the brunette's father, there was not a hint of wanting to kill him. When night came and it was time for dinner, Katherina went to open the door and greet him with a kiss and a hug, introducing him to her parents, mainly her father. He only gave him a serious
"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
