~Xander~
I was alone in my classroom, reading stupid social media posts while scrolling my phone. The day seemed fine, as all my mates were out, and I was waiting for Matt. I heard a knock and didn’t bother to look up. I mean, who would knock before entering the classroom?
Once again, my annoyed ears heard the same sound, and this time I jerked my neck to rebuke the person. Beyond my expectations, I saw her. It was none other than the new birdie looking at me. I stuffed the phone in my front pocket and walked toward her. With a blush, she lowered her peer.
“What are you doing here?” I said, while scanning her beauty.
She tucked away a strand of hair behind her ear, and my eyes caught her tattoo again.
“Can I talk to you?” she asked.
What is she doing here? Didn’t she know others would insult her more than ever for entering a senior’s classroom? And why was she talking to me like that?
Her cheeks turned red, and the composed breathing hooked my attention. Her voice was seducing me, and I couldn’t say no even if I wanted to.
She didn’t wait for my answer and looked at me intensely.
“What do you want?” I said, trying to remind her she was just a girl who needed to follow the rules.
But she took a step closer to me, biting her lower lip and her eyes smirking with control.
Innocence mixed with sensuality pushed me to skip the boundaries and lay her down, and rip every cloth covering her alluring body, but her words caught my attention.
“It was you who wanted to teach me a lesson?” She frowned and touched my chest.
“What are you doing?” I warned, but she tilted her head and brushed her lips against my earlobe.
“Didn’t you want to rip my clothes, dash me against this table, and make me scream your name? I hear that’s how you teach naughty girls a lesson.”
Those warm words traveled inside me, and I instantly felt a hard sensation tighten my jeans. I grabbed her neck as our lips sensed the touch.
“Don’t provoke me.”
She smiled through her eyes and blinked through those controlling sapphires. She devilishly used her touch when her words failed to control me. Her fragrance in my nostrils hit me while she was busy devouring her lips on my earlobes.
“Are you sure? Because this one is talking some sense.”
With a click on her tongue, she looked down to check my elevating member. She caressed her hand towards the south while pecking wet kisses on my neck.
“I know you want this.”
There was a need in her eyes that showed me this naughty girl wasn’t playing with me. Lost in her touch and kisses, I was weak. Damn, as much as I wanted to stop her, my inner self wanted her badly. She had a strange power that I could not pinpoint, even if I tried.
“St-ooo-ppp.”
I couldn’t finish my words when she touched my stiff member. Her eyes never left my face as she enjoyed my whimpers. She was driving me insane, and I loved it. While she went south, I jerked my head up with pleasure while she opened my belt.
“You want me to stop?” she whispered against my length.
And all I did was pull her hair back so I could watch her work. With one hand, I held a firm grip on her curls. My eyes watched her bat her lashes while her mouth touched the base of my member, making my toes curl.
She picked up her pace and hollowed out her cheeks, creating the shaft’s utmost sensation.
“Oh,” my moan extinguished in the atmosphere.
After a quick shake, I exploded, shooting straight into her mouth. She didn’t spill a drop. When she finally emptied me, she licked her lips and stood before me.
I wanted to hug her badly. The pleasure she gave me was breathtaking, and I would lie if I said I didn’t want her.
She was looking at me with a constant gaze, sure to show me I was at her mercy at that moment.
“Did you like the show?” she asked before her tone changed. “It was you who placed the bucket of sauce over my locker.”
Something changed inside her, and those naughty peers changed into something else, showcasing other emotions inside me. Within a few seconds, tears filled her eyes.
Without notice, she turned and started walking towards the door.
“Hey, wait” I was screaming, wanting her to listen. “No, wait. Listen to me.”
But she didn’t listen. I ran towards her and tried to hold her hand, but all I caught was her expressive eyes questioning me.
Suddenly, we heard a fire alarm, and everybody was rushing toward the exit haphazardly. In her gaze locked to mine, she couldn’t listen to me.
“Why?” is all she said before she ran.
I called her name at the top of my lungs but couldn’t hear myself over the shrill, incessant noise. All we could hear was an alarm and people running here and there.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
“Aoife...” I called out to hear nothing but silence.
I woke up as I realized it was all a dream. A dream that made me soaked in sweat with a hard-on. Damn, my mind worked hard to mix all the feelings and adventures I had yesterday.
What was that? I couldn’t even fathom what had just happened in my dreams.
As I let out a breath, I realized it was still hard. There is something about this girl. Her touch felt real when I closed my eyes. The dream was so absolute it made a whimper escape me involuntarily.
Maybe it’s time for some pleasure to warm my nights. Maybe this new birdie will do.
I scanned my phone before it was time to go to class. Honestly, I felt terrible about what happened yesterday. Zareena and Victor planned the whole stupid thing, which I was unaware of.
I shook my head in disgust of yesterday’s drama via social media before I walked toward the bathroom. With a hot shower, I cleared my mind from the unexpected dream.
Strange… That had never happened to me before.

When I left my house, I drove towards Matty’s dorm. He must have worked late, so I unlocked his door and jumped on him.
“Come on, Matty. Get up,” I screamed in his ear.
“You asshole. Let me sleep.”
“Zareena and Victor taught her one of our lessons,” I said while reaching next to his bed to scan his snack box.
Suddenly, he woke up and asked, “What are you talking about? Was it the new girl this time?”
I told him everything, and of course, he said it was my fault.
“How is this my fault?” I questioned.
He argued with me and blamed me for the whole situation.
“Please stop Victor and Zareena from doing such stupid things to people. It’s wrong.”
“Okay, I’ll try. But I am not sure they’ll stop.”
Our argument continued even after we reached college campus. Matt is a nice guy who believes in the mantra of let live and let others live.
Despite his complaining, my mind somehow was pulled into flashes of my dreams from earlier that morning. I’m not sure if he’s right or not, but whatever is going on, that girl is stuck in my head.
~Aoife~The morning was cold and foggy, just like my life had been these past few days. I used to love this weather when mom made hot cocoa for me, and we watched movies together. Now that she’s gone, this weather makes me feel alone. I was awake, looking at her picture close to my bed.“Good morning, Mum.” I remembered she loved to kiss my forehead, and never forget to mention welcoming the new day with fresh energy, but today I didn’t want to get out of bed. Why would I? I have zero motivation, nor was I eager to start my day.When I came here, I was ready to win the world, but in the last few days, everything changed. All I wanted was to hide where these people couldn’t torture me anymore. I just wanted this to be over. But what about the promises I made to my mother? I promised her to conquer every fear in my life.I glanced at my tattoo: Love never fails.She used to call me the love of her life. If she were here, she would never want me to hide. While I was wrapped in the turm
~Xander~She left her innocent eyes on my soul. This moment reminds me of a story. Some folks who needed emotional rescue were trapped in an iceberg that took many years to form. When you bring your gentle flame to their outer walls and melt a little, if they are brave enough, they will light their internal flame and allow the ice to melt. If they are afraid, they will add more layers of ice faster than you can melt it.Unknowingly, I felt the same. Aoife was an unknown flame that melted my heart, and I was not ready for the change. My playboy image wanted to bite every part of her delicate body, while my heart wanted to be with her. In this turmoil, when Zareena pushed her, it enraged my emotions to a degree I’d never felt before.My angry look toward Zareena scared her off, and she stomped outside. I didn’t understand my sudden anger. Is Aoife controlling me? Or does Zareena’s misbehavior towards Aoife affect me?All I knew was her teary eyes influenced me deeply. With this emotiona
My big tears rolled down my cheeks, and I finally relaxed when he pulled away.“Are you okay?” My eyes were closed as I heard that voice. I thought it was Matt who questioned me, but when I opened my eyes, Matt was blowing air on my wound.I felt another presence beside me when I saw my hand had not flinched on the chair. My nails dug into someone's hand instead of the leather arm. From the corner of my eyes, I saw something unexpected.“You… Oh, I am sorry, sir.”Right out of the blue? What was he doing here?It was Xander. But when did he arrive? And why was he standing next to me?Lots of questions boomed in my mind as I jerked my hand away from his wrist that was now scratched from my nails. “What are you doing here?” Matt questioned.He didn’t answer because he was busy looking at my nervous, flushed face. I gulped down a lump in my throat and backed myself behind the chair, lowering my eyes immediately.“Xan, what?” Matt asked again.Looking at his scratched wrist, I somehow fe
That next morning, I rushed myself to the library. Once there, Aunt Agnes was busy talking to her husband. “Good morning.” I smiled.“Good morning, pretty girl,” Uncle answered immediately.“Good morning, dear. What brings you here so early?” “I hope I am not asking too much from you guys. Since you are looking for a helping hand, I need a job. My brother wants to admit himself to rehab, and he needs my help.”They furrowed their brows, listening to me carefully.“Do you want money? We can help you,” Aunty offered.“No, I want this job. Please accept my offer to help.”They smiled and nodded their heads, quickly in agreement.Before I even mentioned my paycheck, Uncle said, “I will talk to management. We will pay you biweekly if that’s okay?”I nodded with excitement and happy tears as I hugged them.“Thank you for helping me. I’ll come after college hours,” I said excitedly before leaving the library and walking out.As I left, my mind was busy scheduling my day with the additional
~Xander~Waiting... Waiting... Waiting...My mind was like the ocean, watching the incoming ships of my thoughts drowning inside me.Is she going to be okay? What the heck were the doctors doing with her in there? Why is there no information about her? How long are they going to take? I was continuously burning in anguish, and the troublesome thoughts didn’t let me rest for a second. I was starting to ask myself why I had this unsettled anger and toward whom? Something told me it was me. Why didn’t I reach her on time? Why was I not there to protect her? And the essential fact of the matter, who the hell did this thing to her?That person will surely be dead at my hands. I will drown him the same way he did her.In the next thoughts, I literally planned the slow death of that unknown person who tried to kill her.I was in constant pain at the thought of losing her. My body reacted the same as I thought, making me punch the wall before I yelled out threats to the doctors and the hospit
~Xander~Heartbreak is a funny thing. It happened to a person you would never expect. I never thought I would become a villain to Aoife, not when I was the one who saved her life. I became the last person she wanted to see in this world, and unfortunately, she was the only girl who drove me crazy.For the entire night, I fought with my feelings, hiding them underneath. I thought it was just a stint of unsettled emotion that would pass with time. It became worse when the time came to see her again. Her angered eyes toward me thrashed in my spirit. She hated me for a crime I didn’t commit. She didn’t believe I was innocent.My desperate eyes waited for a single glance of understanding, but she ignored me as if I had never existed to her. Above all, I became possessive of her when I saw her hugging Matt. No girl rejected me like that and never dared to make me feel vulnerable.I questioned myself about why I was craving for the warmth she gifted to Matt while I was the one who found her u
~Aoife~After Matt left, I settled on the chair next to my study table, thinking about the last words he left me with.How could Matt expect me to forgive his friend? He knew Xander was the biggest bully in school who liked to trouble other people. How could I forget he was the one who made my life hell since the day I landed at this college? First, he mocked me in front of everyone, and then that bucket.“Argh... I hate him!” I screamed, throwing cushions on the walls.Why should I forgive him? He doesn’t deserve my forgiveness. I looked in the mirror with a disgusted expression that filled my face with Xander’s thoughts.“Is he really so bad?” Thinking about him, the only thing that happened was my blood boiling, and my nostrils flared with anger. Hating someone is easy; the hardest thing was to forgive.I smiled when my mother’s thoughts popped into my mind. Even after her death, her thoughts help me in difficult times.What Matt told me—is it true? Did Xander save me? But why? W
~Matt~It had been two days with no news of Xander. Aoife reached out to me almost as if on routine, while Xander was nowhere to be found.Finally, I called Raphael, Xander’s elder brother, in hopes he’d seen him.“I was waiting for your call,” Raph answered.“Hello, big brother. How are you?”“I’m good. Tell me what happened this time in between you two?”“Nothing with me this time. Where is he? I haven’t seen him for two days. Is he with you?”I sighed, not going into any more details. How could he tell Raph about Xander’s weird actions regarding Aoife?Raph didn’t bother to know about it either when he answered, “He is in his relaxation zone. You can find him at the club. I got the call from the manager; he was there all day.” “Thanks, I’ll check. Bye.”Just great! Xander has different phases he goes through.His relaxation zone phase means sex and lots of it, combined with booze all day, and nobody dares to stop him. I rolled my eyes, remembering Aoife asked a few times about Xan

~Aoife~I took a deep breath, feeling a mix of excitement and nervousness as I prepared for my wedding day. The room was filled with love and happiness, and Neeral was helping fix my perfect bun, adjusting my veil. I finally looked at myself in the mirror, and tears welled up in my eyes.“It feels like I’m dreaming,” I breathed, my voice filled with emotion.“No, you’re not. This is what you’ve always wanted,” a familiar voice came from the corner of the room. I turned and saw Gabriel and Angel walking towards me.“Congratulations,” Angel said, hugging me tightly.“Thank you.” Gabriel cupped my face and gently kissed the top of my head. “I can’t help but wonder what’s going to happen now.” “What do you mean?” “You’re pregnant.” Confusion furrowed my brow. “That means Xander should be prepared to get his ass kicked by you.” He chuckled. We all laughed, enjoying the lighthearted moment.“No, I’ve done this before, and I know how to compose myself.” “No, you don’t know how to comp
~Aoife~My eyes welled up with tears as I listened to Matt and Neeral’s story, realizing the depth of their love and the challenges they had faced. Even Xander, sitting beside me, seemed lost in his thoughts, his gaze fixed on them. Matt, seated next to Neeral, gently caressed her belly and planted a tender kiss on her head, a gesture filled with love and anticipation.“This is our story,” he said, a smile gracing his face as he glanced towards us, his friends. The room fell into an awkward silence as the weight of their emotional journey settled upon us. Unable to contain my emotions, I stood up and embraced Neeral tightly, feeling gratitude for the strength and love she had shown even when Matt was filled with hatred.“Thank you for loving him when he hated you,” I whispered, my voice choking with emotion. Then I turned to Matt and hugged him as well. “And thank you for loving her when she lost all hope in you.”Xander nodded in agreement, silently acknowledging the profound impact
~Neeral~Eight Months Later…It had been eight long months since I last laid eyes on Matt, yet my heart still ached from the moment I left him. When he unexpectedly showed up in Seattle, seeking my forgiveness, I foolishly allowed a glimmer of hope to flicker within me. But I soon realized that it was nothing more than a gesture of a gentleman asking for forgiveness, devoid of any deeper feelings. In an attempt to distance myself, I cut off all social contacts and disappeared from social media, keeping a low profile.I didn’t know if I was hiding from Matt or simply afraid of what might transpire if he discovered I was now residing in Austin. I had started a new job at a local publication house, which paid enough for me to survive. I rented a house with new friends, and everything seemed to be going well. However, every weekend served as a reminder of my solitude, as my friends would retreat to their families’ or boyfriends’ houses. To fool my longing heart, I sometimes found myself s
~Neeral~Despite having crushed Taylor’s heart, he selflessly requested that I stay and help him finish the work in Seattle before I left for Austin. I agreed, feeling a sense of responsibility towards him. He didn’t complain or question me about the person responsible for his heartbreak. His kindness and understanding only intensified my guilt.Taylor had planned a farewell dinner for me, but he had to leave abruptly due to his father’s illness. He apologized and asked me to stay in Seattle for another week to assist him. As he departed, I found myself alone in the chilly city, fully engrossed in completing the pending work before my departure.Returning to my cottage, I was greeted by John and his wife, who had been taking care of the place. They had prepared a delicious meal for me, and I thanked them with a smile. However, the atmosphere took a sudden turn when John informed me that someone had come looking for me earlier but refused to provide his name.Confused, I frowned and ca
~Matt~Mending a broken heart felt like an impossible task, akin to building a sandcastle in a perpetually wet place. No matter how hard I tried, a wave would inevitably crash upon me, obliterating everything I had painstakingly constructed. How foolish was I to find myself in the same situation again?I had developed a special connection with Neeral, only to witness her accepting Taylor’s ring. Falling in love once more required effort, but I failed to nurture it. Our story seemed to leap to its climax before it even had a chance to begin.When Taylor proposed to her, I struggled to understand how I should react. Should I direct my anger toward him or at myself? I didn’t dare express my feelings to her, and she didn’t wait for me either. We shared a bond, but my confusion persisted. Was it friendship or something more? An unsettling fear crawled beneath my skin.What if I told her how I felt, and she left me like Aoife did? What if I asked her to wait, allowing me to discern if my em
~Neeral~After my heartfelt conversation with Taylor, I returned home. He had expressed his love for me with such joy, but Matt’s reaction to my proposal left me astounded. Why did he act like such a jerk? He had never seen me as anything more than a friend, so why did it seem like he was unhappy?With a stack of files in my hands, I struggled to open the door to my house. It was already 8 o’clock, and Matt wasn’t home. I called him, but he didn’t answer. I sent him a message, and I saw the three dots indicating that he was typing, but no reply came.Feeling a mix of worry and frustration, I decided to take a quick shower, prepare dinner, and keep myself busy with work. I waited for him at the dinner table for a long time, but he never showed up.My eyes wandered to the ring Taylor had given me. It was beautiful, and it brought a faint smile to my face. Perhaps one day, I would be able to love Taylor as deeply as I had loved Matt.Lost in my thoughts, my phone chimed. It was Taylor on
~Neeral~It had been two weeks since that horrible incident happened to me, and a strange feeling of suffocation took hold of my heart. I thought I could survive as Matt’s friend, but the closer we got, the more I felt myself drowning in pain. I couldn’t see myself as just his friend anymore. This realization reached its peak when he referred to me as his close friend in front of his family.Last weekend, we went to meet his parents. They welcomed me with open arms. It felt nice because I missed my mom so much. Matt told them about Aoife and Xander, and it surprised his parents to hear about those incidents. They were happy that I stood by Matt’s side, but I cursed myself for creating so much pain for myself. I was foolish to let him enter my heart, and now it was enough. I needed to move on.I created profiles on dating apps, hoping to find someone who would help me forget about Matt. However, my bad luck struck again when he saw an email notification from a dating app on my laptop.“
“Matt!” I screamed, desperation and fear filling my voice.Suddenly, someone forcibly pulled him away from me, and all I could hear was Victor’s agonized scream before I heard his feet on the floor as he rushed out of the house. Matt came barging back into the room, and as my senses slowly returned, I scrambled to cover my nakedness.Shivering and bleeding from my lips, I looked up at Matt, hoping for his protection and salvation. He scratched my face and body, leaving visible marks of his assault, and all I wanted was to be safe in Matt’s arms. “Hey, are you okay?” Matt’s voice trembled with concern as he hurried to my side. He grabbed a bedsheet and gently wrapped it around me, shielding me from the world’s harshness. Tears streamed down my face, and I couldn’t help but feel disgusted when I looked at myself.“It’s all my fault... I am worthless,” I whimpered, my voice filled with self-loathing.Matt’s eyes widened with disbelief, and he reached out to touch my trembling shoulder.
