The chemistry of all colors 22. The chapter with the next day
RoseI jumped to the floor, feeling the world spinning around me, I crawled into bed throwing myself there, giving up even changing clothes. I woke up the next day feeling like the worst person in the universe, my head was pounding, my body refused to respond to my commands properly, and my mind was slow. And unfortunately I remembered all the details of the previous night well, feeling terrible and ashamed of everything.I dragged myself into a quick shower and tried to look presentable for Phillip Black's class when all I wanted to do was lie in my bed and pretend I didn't exist for the rest of the year. This would be my gouache practice class, so I opted for loose jeans overalls that were already stained with paint, a stained t-shirt, and a pair of beat-up sneakers. I tied my hair into a simple ponytail before facing the class.The worst part of what happened yesterday was dealing with the stares that followed me down the hall while I pretended to be invisible among my classmates.
The chemistry of all colors 23. The chapter where Christian feels guilty
ChristianI left Rose's room still trying to control my heartbeat. What the fuck just happened? I put my hands in the front pockets of my pants trying to disguise my situation a little, but how could I control myself if I could still taste the sweetened drink in my mouth? If the sensation of her warm skin under my lips was still alive in my mind?" Damn Christian, she's drunk! " I muttered to myself, walking down the hall.I felt terrible for what had happened, all right, I had been taken by surprise by her attitude and I had externalized the desire I felt for her, but I was the sober part of that equation, I shouldn't have reciprocated.I was just reaching the stairs to go to my room when Theo's voice caught my attention." Hey, Davis. Did she sleep? " Theo asked." I left her in her room, I don't know if she slept or not," I blurted, trying not to show what had happened moments ago." Liam and Sky are stuck in an eternal DR, I gave up waiting for the car keys," he explained, climbin
The chemistry of all colors 24. The chapter with the riding lesson
ChristianA slightly more spontaneous smile appeared on her lips, but despite her acceptance the mood between us was still awkward. I stopped by the cafeteria to buy our lunch and a few minutes later we were sitting under the shade of a tree near one of the many wooden mills that were scattered around Grayfox Mills. That property was just outside the campus and was always empty and quiet, having become one of my favorite places when I wanted some peace." Wow, this place is really quiet," Rose commented, looking around." Yes, I like it here." A secluded and somewhat shady place. Why am I not surprised? " she teased, making me feel a little more at ease." You just said it was a quiet place," I commented, opening my backpack and taking out the paper bag with our lunch." But yeah, I bet the only ones who come here are you and the spirits that live in that abandoned windmill," she quipped.I just laughed at that remark, watching her face again, as much as she tried her best to joke, i
The chemistry of all colors 25. The chapter in which rose takes action
ChristianRose looked at me for a few seconds before she took her place on the back of the croup, taking a few seconds to adjust herself. Unlike when we first arrived, when she leaned on the back of the seat, I felt her hands wrap around my waist, clinging her body to mine. I took a deep breath, preparing to start, when I felt her hand go up my abdomen while the other went down my leg, mimicking my gesture when I went to show her the rear brake." Rose…”" Yesterday you told me I was too drunk to decide, alcohol is no longer a problem," I heard her voice ring in my ear, making me close my eyes as she moved her hand up, reaching for my groin, "you can't say you haven't thought about what happened yesterday.”I turned my head to look at her, Rose was no longer wearing her helmet. She nibbled on the sensitive skin of my neck as she moved her hand over my cock still in my pants. My hand went to meet hers as she tried to unzip my pants, stopping her advance." Come down," I ordered, getti
The chemistry of all colors 26. The chapter with the agreement
ChristianWe were silent for a few minutes, and as soon as we reached the campus parking lot, I got off the motorcycle, helping her off before taking off my helmet." You know you're going to carry me to the building, right? " she challenged me.I turned on my back, waiting for her to come up before resting my hands on her thighs, applying a little pressure, reminding myself of the sensation of touching her bare skin. " You won't complain today, that's a first," she teased me." If possible, you're heavier than last time," I returned, deciding to pick her up.We both attracted some attention as we walked across campus, but I didn't mind it one bit." Very funny Davis, you didn't seem to think I needed to lose weight earlier," she ruffled my hair with her fingers, stroking my scalp in the process." Aren't you going to hit me for calling you fat? You're nicer, we should do this more often," I returned, getting a laugh in return." Well, maybe I'm nicer because holding you down is a si

Rose " So, are you and Harry together for real now? " I asked Sky as we were picking out our costumes for Halloween. " Yes, we're officially a couple, which is great, because he's a nice guy and he treats me well," she assured me, looking through all the available costumes. I took a pink glitter-covered costume off the rack, placing it in front of my body before looking at myself in a mirror that stood some distance away. " I want something with wings, shall we go fairy? " I proposed. " I didn't know we were going to match costumes," she grimaced. " I thought it would be cool, we'd be like twin sisters," I smiled. " Sure, after all, we are so much alike," she returned in an ironic tone. Okay, my idea was rejected. I put the costume back on the rack, going back to looking at the options. " And were you able to solve the issues that were bothering you before? " I resumed the previous subject. I thought that the two of them wouldn't last after that fateful party two weeks ago, H
The chemistry of all colors 28 - The chapter with the Halloween Trip
RoseThe next day, I met my friends with their backpacks ready for the weekend in the lobby around nine in the morning.I made Christian get up to sit in his place, and received a roll of my eyes in return as he settled on the floor, wrapping one of my arms around his calf afterwards. Sky frowned at our little interaction, but didn't speak up, and neither did I stop the contact." Have you decided how we're going to do it? There are six of us, and Brigitte will fit five," I began." I'll go by motorcycle," Christian warned." I'll go with my car, so we can share the luggage and there will be more space," Theodore added." Then, Van Derr Waal will be the two of us in the Brigette and Harry and Sky will go with Theo," I concluded, drawing attention to the boy who kept his eyes on his cell phone.He raised his face, as if he wasn't paying attention to any of our words." What did you say?”" Oh my God, can't you hear anything we're saying? " I raised both eyebrows at him." I'm sorry, bu
The chemistry of all colors 29 - The chapter with Rose's Parents
RoseWhen I finally parked in front of my father's house, Christian was already standing there being questioned by the two of them. I sighed, getting out of the car before walking over to them. " Look, our little girl," Jack opened his arms, enfolding me in a warm hug before shifting his attention to Liam. “And you, I suppose, are the declared scoundrel.You came alone?”" Mr. Campbell, I told you it's not me you need to worry about." Liam approached my parents and I took advantage of their distraction to check on Christian." Are you all right? I didn't know you were coming so soon," I lowered my tone." I'm fine, I was just getting to know your parents. They're... interesting," he glanced at the two who were still interrogating Liam.I groaned in disgust, wondering what they had been up to when Theodore's Citroen parked right behind Brigitte." What had they done?” " When his mother saw my jacket she asked if I'd be willing to give up my criminal record.” He indicated the jacket of

Christian"Did you hear Liam's speech? "Rose asked.I turned my head to the side to watch her, she was sitting on the floor next to the bed, wearing only my boxer shorts while drawing on a pad. No one had come home yet and we were enjoying the silence.I felt exhausted after everything that had happened over the last few days, I couldn't believe that this nightmare had finally come to an end. After getting home and taking a long shower with Rose, the only thing I could do was lie down and stare at the ceiling in my room, imagining how everything would happen from then on."Could you not hear? "I sneered."Do you think he was serious about his vision of the future? "she turned her face to look at me."I don't know, maybe. But...I kept quiet, wondering what exactly I was going to say. Because more and more the whole scenario he described came to life in my mind, and every second I found it more enjoyable."But? "New Orleans is a nice city. We could live near each other and... I can se
The chemistry of all colors 158 - The chapter with the drunken marriage proposal
ChristianI sat down, taking the bottle of beer from my sister, taking a sip before she grabbed the bottle from my hand and slapped me upside the head."Your father-in-law has guaranteed that you'll beat Bobby and Otto at pool, they've never lost at the bar "My father pointed to the table where Rose and Jack were getting ready to start the game."My father-in-law is... a bit competitive. Rose got that from him," I commented."A bit? That's a joke, right? Last time the two of them ended up in a snow race just to break a tie in a series of board games "Cam rolled his eyes."Snow race? "My mother raised both eyebrows."While they were taking off their clothes," Theo added."Taking their clothes off? "Amber choked next to me."They had a series of target games in the middle of the course, and every time they missed they had to take off a piece. At the end of the race, he was only wearing shorts and boots and she was wearing a gym top, shorts and boots "I explained, taking the bottle of be
The chemistry of all colors 157 - The chapter with the celebration
ChristianI stopped the bike in a parking space in front of the bar where Rose met Josh at the beginning of the year. I frowned as everyone got off their bikes there. That place wasn't one of my favorites and Rose must have known that, since we hadn't been back there since everything happened.She got off before me, taking off her helmet, running her fingers through her hair to adjust it and standing next to me when she noticed my hesitation in getting off the bike."Come on, it's about time we gave this place a second chance "she winked at me "let's enjoy it like we should have done that day. That was enough to convince me, so I took off my helmet and got off the bike. From there we could hear a band playing a cover of Aerosmith. Everyone started to enter the venue, not bothering to wait for me. I took a deep breath, slung my arm around Rose's shoulder and started heading towards the entrance. Both Rose and I ended up with the backs of our hands stamped indicating that we were unde
The chemistry of all colors 156 - The chapter in which Christian gets out of jail
ChristianI was lying in bed, watching the sunset light coming through the small window in the corridor facing the cell I occupied. My cell was the only one occupied in the police station, and that was no surprise. In a town as quiet as Grayfox Mills, it was difficult to see any movement at the police station during the week, when all the university students were busy with their classes.Everything I wanted. To get on with my classes without having to deal with some asshole who decided to play with my girl! But that asshole made it impossible.I'd been there for over twenty-four hours, and that had been enough time to calm my mind, at least as far as Jax was concerned. But even though I'd taken a few naps during the day, I couldn't stop imagining how Rose was doing, the look on her face as I was handcuffed never left my mind, and I just wanted the chance to talk to my girlfriend and make sure she was okay.My biggest concern with everything that had happened was just her. I didn't reg
The chemistry of all colors 155 - The chapter where Rose decides what to do
RoseMy gaze wandered around that hellish scene without knowing what to do. Everything unfolded in slow motion in front of me. On one side, Jax was lying, moaning in pain in a pool of his own blood, being supported by a waiter. His friends were on the other side, keeping some distance with an expression that ranged from surprise to fear, keeping as much distance as possible from Christian, who was standing next to me with both hands raised in a sign of surrender after handing Theo the keys to the bike. The sidewalk outside was starting to fill up as well, several people crowded near the glass window watching what was happening, some taking pictures or filming with their cell phones as the police approached us." Dad, do something " I begged for a magic solution, one that would stop my boyfriend from being taken by those men. "Chris..." I tried to put one of his hands down to pull him to me, but he stood his ground, looking the other way while someone talked to one of the policemen,

Christian" Chris, you heard the dean, he'll probably be expelled... CHRIS! " Rose raised her voice as I stood up, heading for the exit." What's his problem?”" Damn it, Christian, get back here! " I heard Rose call before I got into the elevator that was standing on the floor, not waiting for her to arrive to press the button to close the doors.I checked the time on my watch, great, it's right on lunch break time, I'll find this bastard and finish him off wherever he is. Deciding not to waste any time, I got on the bike, driving inside the campus, heading towards the main cafeteria. I stopped the Harley anyway at the entrance to the cafeteria, ignoring the stares I was attracting, I opened the door without a care, looking around for my target. But to my dismay, the son of a bitch was nowhere to be found." Chris, what are you doing here? " I heard Sky's voice approaching.I turned towards her voice, finding her standing next to Theo with a frown as she watched me." 'O'Donnel, hav
The chemistry of all colors 153 - The chapter where Christian finds out
ChristianSavannah and her friends stood up, looking satisfied with the outcome of that little meeting. All they wanted was to make sure that they would not be involved in that situation and they succeeded. " So? You can start " Rose took a deep breath with her arms crossed. " 'We're going to talk in a meeting with the dean,” Savannah said." 'That wasn't agreed,” Addison pointed out." We haven't agreed on anything yet, Mrs. Miller, and we're just making sure we don't get involved in any of this,” she returned.It was at that moment that Jack decided to get involved, seeming not to agree with the proposal." 'We're not going to guarantee any of this without knowing what you have to say.”" We can guarantee that Alicia and Audrey are responsible for everything, we will give the names of all those involved and we will tell you in detail everything we have discovered. " Savannah said " we even have message exchanges to prove it.”Everyone considered that information for a second befor

ChristianI hurried down the stairs and into the kitchen, finding Jack and Addison in an uncomfortable silence. Their gazes fell on me as soon as I walked through the door, causing me to stall in my seat." What?”" Were you arguing? " Addison asked." Ohhh no... Rose is just frustrated with the situation, I suggested she paint a little to distract herself " I explained " I was supposed to bring her breakfast at the studio.”" I'll do it," Addison volunteered, getting up.I didn't argue with the woman, sitting down in the same place as before, accepting the muffin Jack handed me. We sat there, eating in silence for a few minutes, until the sound of the doorbell interrupted us. Jack signaled for me to remain in my seat, getting up to go answer the door.Frowning, I remained silent, trying to hear something to find out who was at the door, but they were either talking very quietly, or not at all. I stood up, deciding to satisfy my curiosity at once, that's when Addison's voice reached m
The chemistry of all colors 151 - The chapter with breakfast with the in-laws
ChristianI turned over in my bed, watching the face of Rose, who slept next to me curled up in a fetal position. My room was small and we didn't usually sleep there, but Rose couldn't bear the thought of sleeping in her room that night and I couldn't blame her. My girlfriend that day did not show all the usual tranquility when sleeping, which sometimes left me in doubt whether or not she had suddenly died in her sleep. On the contrary, she spent the whole night restless, and was not even sleeping on her stomach as usual.The silence outside the room showed that our classmates had probably already gone to class, only the two of us were left behind, trapped in our private hell. Deciding to let her rest a little longer, I got up, going to get dressed and brush my teeth before heading downstairs.The house itself seemed deserted, silence dominated the upper floor. I looked at the open door of Theo's room, where Jack ended up sharing the bed with Addison that night, finding the place empt
