“Oh, Casey. Las night was so much fun. We went to dinner at this amazing restaurant, the food was exquisite. And then he took me dancing. You know how much I love ballroom dancing; he booked a beginner class for us. He was surprised when I showed him my skills.” I say smiling and Casey looks at me with a look of bliss on her face.
“That sounds amazing! I’m so happy you had fun. Did you guys kiss?” she asks rubbing her hands together excitedly.
“No. we didn’t, there were so many moments we could have but I wasn’t brave enough to make a move. And I didn’t want to seem forward so I chickened out.” I say worried and she smiles at me sweet

“How was your day?” Samantha says looking at me. She’s sitting opposite me on my sofa I yawn tired, today was interesting. It certainly didn’t go the way I planned it.“Today was a long day” I say thinking about my run in with Melody a few hours ago. How she stormed out of the coffee shop. I imagined that conversation going so much differently than it did.“You’re tired.” She asks reaching her hand out to brush my leg softly.“You could say that.” I say really thinking about it. I’m not tired physically, I’m just feeling beat. I feel like I’m losing Melody and I hate it. I want her all to myself and the addition of this new dude is fucking up my flow.I want him gone. His being around is making her more and more resistant to my advances. She was always against us hooking up but she wasn’t blatantly rejecting me. She’s different now.I know this is not fa

“Hi” Samantha whispers when she finds me in the romance novel section of the library. I look at her instantly annoyed, what does she want? I’m not in the mood to deal with anyone that is associated with Knox. I’m so mad at him that I’m hating on anyone or anything that reminds me of him.I pick up a book with a beautiful cover and read the title trying to ignore her.The prince’s willing slave.That sounds like an interesting read. A few second of silence pass and I realize she’s not leaving I look at her and she smiles.“Hey.” I whisper back to her and turning back to the selection books on the shelf. She really doesn’t know how to take a hint. I don’t want to talk t her and I’m sure I’m making it clear but she isn’t interested in my feelings.“I’m back.” She says and I look at her confused. Is that supposed to mean something to me?

Play your part“I’m so excited for tonight.” Michael says when I open the front door to my apartment. He smiles at me and my heart skips a beat, his smile has this ability to make me feel I’m floating.Iopen the door and let him into my apartment. He moves closer and gives me a hug, I lean in and hug him back. We hold each other closely for a few seconds and then let go. I look up at him and wish I could kiss him but I don’t have the guts to take the first step.When he told me he was on his way to pick me up today, I had a plantokiss him as soon as he walked through the door. I played it out in my head, I would open the door, he would smile at me and then I would walk to him and kiss him. But it isn’t playing out that way.“ I’m excited too.” I say stepping away from him.“Let me finish getting ready quickly and then we can get going.&rdq

I look up at Knox and feel my heart pound in my ears. He is playing a very dirty game. He wants me to know that he has a hold on my life no matter what I do. He made Michael bring me here and he’s chuffed with himself.I look away from him and concentrate on the field below. I hear his fans screaming his name asking for his autograph. It’s weird to hear people lose their minds over him like this. I’ve always known he’s famous but I’ve never seen it in action.I was never part of this side of his life. I’m the secret he reserves for late nights. I know him as a normal, arrogant and sneaky university student. I hate him.He’s messing with my life, now he made Michael think he’s a generous and kind person. We all know that’s not what he’s doing here. He’s showing me the power that he has.“How are you? “ He says to Michael. He walks behind my chair and places his hand on the

“Our plan is not working.” I say to Casey who came over to my house to do my hair. I am going to be sitting on this chair for the next three hours. We have some good music on, we have some really good snacks on deck. And we are having a night in. I need to make sure that my hair is done by tomorrow morning or I am going to look like a scary monster at my first class.“What do you mean our plan is not working?” She asks tilting my head sideways so she can see my face.“I mean, Knox has managed to use his charms on Michael and they are best buddies now.” I say and Casey’s jaw drops.“When in the hell did that happen?” She asks frowning at me.“Last night, he gave Michael the VIP treatment and it was over. My boyfriend is officially in love with my side meat/boy/situation/whatever.” I say and she rolls her eyes at me.“This Knox is really smart. I didn’t think he would start

“I’m so glad you agreed to tutor me.” Samantha says so loud the people in the library shush us as we walk past their tables. I smile and walk ahead of her; I don’t want to be kicked out of the library for making noise.She follows me into a private study room I booked for our study session. I let her go in first and then follow closing the door. She sits down in one of the chairs and places her bag on the table. And then she just stares at me.“I thought it would be good to have our first session here. We will have privacy and quiet but we can talk as well.” I say feeling uncomfortable under her scrutiny. She nods after a moment as if she just remembered I’m talking to her..I take a sit next to her and start to prepare my stationary. I sat up my pens, writing pad, laptop and text book. I steal a quick glance at her and she’s sitting there staring at me. I look away and finish off what I’m doing.&ldqu

“I’m coming.” I say at the door when I hear a knock for 15th time. I was taking a shower and I couldn’t run out all wet and naked. My first thought was Knox but he doesn’t come to bother me when the sun is out. He’s a vampire, only comes out when the beasts are wake. It’s still light out so it has to be some else. I know Casey would have called first and my landlord would have left a note. Could it be Michael? I look through the peep hole and sigh. I’m right. It’s Michael. On a different day I would have been so happy to see him but I’m too tired today. And he hasn’t called or texted me in the last 24hrs so I couldn’t care less what he did with his life. He didn’t care if I was alive or dead the last two days all he cared about was getting drunk with the rugby team. I’m still salty over the fact that he left me to go party all night. My ego is bruised a little, I’m not surprised he did it but I am surprised. You what I mean? I open th

“I come in peace.” Knox says walking toward my table holding up a white paper.“Funny.” I say as he pulls out a chair and he sits down. I’m at my favorite breakfast place having coffee and a muffin. I come here to reset and get some peace before I head out into the world. So the fact that he’s here is a problem, he is my peace killer.“I know that I’m not your favorite person right now, so I have to approach you cautiously. I don’t want to lose an eye.” He says smiling at me like he said something funny. I look at him like’ boy please.“Did you want something?” I ask looking at his beautiful and annoying face. I hate it when he’s playful. He makes me want to be near him and be friends.“See, I haven’t been here more than five minutes and you’re already over me.” He says making a sad face at me. He’s in a good mood today. I can’t remember

“I know your favorite thing to do right now is to sleep.” Knox says into the silence. I stand in the doorway and watching him holding our son. He has his back to me so he can’t see me eavesdropping on his conversation with his son. My eyes water at the beautiful sight, he’s taken so well to being a father. I knew he would be great at it but it blows my mind how much heloves being a father. I don’t have to ask him to do anything. He knows exactly what his child needs. I wasn’t surprised when I woke up from our nap and Asa wasn’t next to me. I bet Knox came up to our room as soon as he got home. He misses his son like crazy when he’s not home. If it was up to him, he would stay home and devote his whole life to our child. But he can’t do that, he has tgousands of people that rely on him. They need him to show up at work so they can have jobs too. The dedication he has to his family takes my breath away. He makes sure that his child is loved in every way. He has Asa sitting comfortabl

“Are you okay?” Knox says walking into the bathroom. I’m bent over the toilet, vomiting my guts out. I’ve been having morning sickness for a while now and I’m not happy. “I read somewehere that ginger helps with morning sickenss. Let me get you some.” He says walking away. I listen to him walk away. He’s been annoying the hell out of me with his rememdies and pregnancy facts since he found out we’re having a baby. But I have to admit for once I appreciate his obsession. I would give anything to make this stop. I came home about half an hour ago and I’ve been hurdled over this toilet since. I thought morning sickness was for the morning and that’s it but not. Imagine my surprise when this happened during a meeting in the middle of the day. I flush the toilet and sit on the wall next to the toilet. I don’t want to move from here. I’m pretty sure I’m going to need to vomit in a minute or two. Knox and I should have thought about this a little harder before we decided to engage in bab
The play boy's secret lover Chapter 65 - The other side
My ex wife is sitting opposite me at one of her favorite restaurants in the city. She looks perfect. She doesn’t have a hair out of place; she’s staring at me with a look of hope in her eyes. She’s looking at me like she won the lottery. When I look at her face I see my past. I don’t see anything beyond this conversation. The only woman I want is Melody. I’ve never been surer about something like I am about my love for Mel. I feel bad that Samantha is looking at me like that. I can tell she thinks I’m here because there’s still something between us. “Thank you for meeting me.” Samantha says smiling at me. “I didn’t think we would ever see each other after everything that happened.” She adds looking away but she’s still smiling. After my talk with my father I had a lot to think about. I realized I owed her at least one last conversation. I might have moved on but she clearly needs to talk to me. I want to go into this next chapter of my life with no attachments. And no matter how I

“Is it weird that I want to pick out the baby’s name already?” Knox says kissing my belly. This man is obsessed with his baby. That’s all he wants to talk about, he’s constantly asking me random questions about pregnancy, birth and anything else that comes to mind. “Are you pretending you didn’t hear what I said?”I ask looking down at Knox. He doesn’t want me to go back home. But I need to; I haven’t seen my siblings in two days. I feel bad for leaving them alone for so long. I know they’re grown and they can take care of themselves but I can’t pretend they don’t live with me. I have to be a good sister and make sure they’re okay. I know they love it when I give them their space but I need to check in on them. “I’ll drive you home when we’re done here.” He says kissing me over and over again. Of ‘course Knox wants me with him all the time, I want the same thing but as long as we have two different households that’s going to be a little difficult. I need to make sure all the people i
The play boy's secret lover Chapter 63 - The conversation
The dinner party is over. Knox’s grandfather opened his expensive gifts. Olive and her father left, done for the night. It’s just Knox, me and his mother left. We’re back in the living room enjoying a late night drink. I’m having tea while everyone else is having alcohol. I have to admit, this being pregnant this has its drawbacks. On a stressful night like this a glass of wine would have come in handy. If I sip on the tea slow enough I swear I can taste the wine. If I’m going to be required to attend these awkward family events, it’s going to be a very long 9 months. I can’t imagine getting through them sober. “Are you ready to go home?” Knox says touching my belly softly. I look up at him smiling. I can feel his mother’s eyes on me. She’s been eying me the whole night. She hasn’t said a word to me but she had her eyes on me the whole time. It was creepy in the beginning but I don’t care anymore. If she has something to say to me she should shout. I won’t let her intimidate me wi

“Mel, you look so pretty. Look at you.” Olive says when I walk into her grandfather’s house. It’s pouring outside and I had to run into the house while Knox parks the car. We’re at his grandfather’s town house. Knox says this is the house he uses when he wants to host extravagant parties. And of ‘course his birthday is one of them. “Thank you, you look beautiful as always.” I say giving her a hug. She giggles as I squeeze her closer, I’m so glad to see her here. I need all the support I can get if I’m to face her parents. “Thank you. I feel beautiful as always.” She says smiling at me. “Melody, how nice to see you.” Knox’s grandfather says walking to the entryway. “You know I barely recognized you. I can’t believe how much you kids have grown.” He says looking at me surprised. “And you look like you haven’t aged a day, happy birth day by the way.” I say smiling at him. We hug as he laughs at my comment on his age; or lack thereof. “You don’t have to lie to an old man. I know I’v

“Casey seems to be in love with you.” I say looking at Knox peeling a papaya. I shift forward in my stool so I can be closer to his plate. I’m sitting on the opposite side of the island, so it’s hard for me to get my hands on it. He’s been at this for the last five minutes; he’s taking his precious time to peel the whole thing. The moment he started peeling it my taste buds went crazy. The bright orange color is making me want to bite into it with the peels. “I think I’m in love with her too.” He says cutting the peeled pieces into even smaller pieces. I reach out taking a piece off of the plate he’s cutting them on. I don’t what know what happened but as soon I found out about the pregnancy I had a rush of an appetite. I want to eat everything I see. It’s like my body knows I need to eat for two. “Don’t tell her that or she’ll ask to move in with you.” I say throwing the piece into my mouth. I moan in appreciation at the taste. It’s so sweet. I reach out to take another piece and

10 minutes before “I’m confused. Why are you taking a pregnancy test?” Casey asks sitting the bath tub in my bathroom. I look at her with a look of concern on my face. I’m stressed out to the 100th degree. I can’t believe I’m here, with a pregnancy test. I’m sitting on my toilet, feeling all types of embarrassment. I survived all of my teenage years without taking a pregnancy test. I know it’s not a big deal but it’s embarrassing that I’m doing this as an adult. I’m so mad at myself for being careless with Knox. I didn’t even think about using protection with him. I didn’t even think about the possibility of getting pregnant. I just went in blind, I wasn’t thinking at all. This has to go down as the dumbest mistake I ever made. This wasn’t part of the plan, I wanted to take time and fall in love again, have fun, relearn each other. How are we supposed to do that with a baby? “Well I know why you’re taking the pregnancy test. I just mean what happened, when and most importantly wi

“Hi Mel.” Samantha says staring at me when I open the door. The smile on my face slowly fades; I go from excitement to shock. How did she get up to my apartment? Why wasn’t I told she was coming up? The front desk should have let me know when she arrived. I look at her on alert. I look into her eyes trying to figure out if she has any animosity. The second I saw her at y door, the word murder pops into my head. Why else would she be here? Surely she came to kill me for taking her love from her. I have so many questions right now. The one that’s nagging me the most is; how does she know where I live? I look behind her expecting to see Knox. He’s supposed to be here instead of her. Maybe they are playing a sick game on me. Knox wouldn’t tell her where I live; he believes Samantha would never bother us. So much for his promises. “How are you here?” I ask looking at her suspiciously. I don’t know what’s going on here, I feel ambushed. I hate when people show up unannounced at my door. T
