Her hand was strictly stuck to her phone as she manoeuvred around Beth whilst keeping an eye on her device. "That's fine Bethany, but I need to finish getting ready for my date." She'd looked up only briefly with a grimace directed towards me, making me sink back beside Josh. "Josh, please look aft
"I can't wear this. We're going to have to find something different." My hands struggled to grip at any part of the material wrapped around me in order to strip myself of the dress Valentina had handed to me. Dresses really weren't something I felt comfortable enough in to leave the house in, espec
I shivered slightly with the breeze from the exposure of wearing little to no clothing. "If you think you're getting my sweater, you're sadly mistaken." Josh expressed as if his unnecessary comment was really needed. "I don't remember asking." However, instead of continuing with his usual and chan
Three Years Ago My hand was beginning to ache with the contestant re-touching and applying of make-up to every flaw I managed to find as soon as I stepped away from the mirror. My hair was pulled into a tight ponytail, exposing my naked face more than I had liked. I let out a heavy sigh as I pulle
My heart had finally fell back to a normal speed despite it picking back up every so often when Ryan would send me his charming smile that I'm sure most girls would easily fall for. Like I was doing right now. Our conversation continued like it had over texts. We talked all about our friends and fa
"There he is!" April mentioned with an enthusiastic pointed finger as she slipped her arm into mine and brought us towards Henry, waiting for us on the bleachers of the gym. The planned assembly had been formed by our biology teacher with the other class in the grade to tell us what was going to ha
"One hundred percent." I was now standing at the door, waiting for Henry's car to appear and for my mother to stop fussing over me. "I'll see you in a week." She smiled and pulled me in for a tight hug, to which I hugged back even tighter. "Be good, and be safe." I nodded with a small smile before
However, with one problem being solved, another presented itself in the form of the bus that was taking us to the hotel. I had managed to keep a distance between Josh and I throughout immigration and collecting baggage, but it had quickly been thrown out of the window when I spotted April perching
And that was potentially dangerous. Ridding the somewhat dirty thoughts from my mind, I stepped into the shower and quickly washed my hair and body of the sweat that I'd accumulated over the hour session. Once I'd finished, I changed into my usual sweater, jeans and trainers, knowing that there wa
On a number of occasions, he'd used my favourite movie of Dirty Dancing against me, referring to my arms as spaghetti with how I'd barely be able to hold my own against a punching bag. "It's too big!" I shouted out, exhausted with constantly hitting the bag in front of me. "Not the first time I've
My heart felt heavy as soon as I stepped into the large, empty studio, mimicking my current mindset of complete and utter emptiness. I absolutely hated the thought that my first time being intimate with someone was now tainted with my idiotic words and Josh's magnified yet justifiable response to m
It was now my breathless voice reaching him. "That was—" he chuckled as he laid down beside me. However, from experience of how my luck was with guys, I'd somehow expected Josh to be up and sending me out without as much as a conversation before shutting the door. But what I hadn't expected, was f
I immediately closed the distance between us like a crazed woman, connecting our lips as he gripped my waist, searching for my body to be closer to his. My body practically sank against his, connecting our skin together like a missing jigsaw piece. He pulled me tightly onto his lap, my knees positi
The both of our footsteps eachoed through the empty hallway as we made our way to his bedroom. I had hoped that the conversation would happen elsewhere, but then subconsciously, I knew that I wasn't complaining. It was the first time I had stepped into his room, yet I hadn't expected it to look as
"In five minutes." If you could see it, steam would be blowing from Josh's ears as he continued to glare at me. He stepped closer, looking directly to me and now standing only a metre away. "Can we talk later?" "I don't think that's a good idea—" "Please." I found myself slowly nodding with the o
"You have some explaining to do." I was barely able to invite them in before Valentina pushed the door open more and stormed inside, throwing herself onto the couch and crossing a leg over the other, angrily. Glaring over to April, she sank slightly before sitting down beside Valentina. "You know
"I don't think I've ever seen her in that state." I was only able to catch the end of the conversation we were all having at the cafeteria table. Valentina and Tyler had been briefed about our trip, mostly asking questions about the night April could barely walk. Nobody had mentioned anything abou
