All Chapters of Can I Learn To Love Again?: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

“What are you doing here?” Ivan asked. “Scratch that, were you spying on me?” He rephrased his question. “I—I—erm—Jade and I—we erm—” I stuttered sounding so foolish even to myself. It's official I suck. “Come on, get up” Ivan stretched out his hand to pull me up. I untangled my hand from the tangled mess I and Jade were and stretched it out to Ivan who pulled me up. These sparks I get whenever our skins touch keeps getting stronger everyday. I turned to help Jade up but she was already standing and dusting herself while Ivan was checking my body for injuries. “You injured yourself” he said, a frown etched on his face as he was looking at my left elbow which I grazed on the floor when Jade bumped into me. &ld

 Ella “Nuts” Ivan? It can't be. Who else calls you Nuts; you disappoint me Ella. But he was furious when I left his house. I turned my head slightly just to be sure it was him and there he was in his car looking unnecessarily handsome. Is this dude bipolar or something? He was vomiting hurtful things just minutes ago; why the hell did he come after me?? He can't see me crying and I so don't want to be around him now. Ugh! My life sucks. I bent my head back, he should just go on with his life and leave me alone. “Come on, get into the car so I could get you home at least” Yeah right, that'll move me. Your leg hurts, stop

“I think I should get that” I told Ivan, untangling myself from our embrace.  I went to my table, took the phone from my purse and saw it was Jade that was calling then I answered the phone and went back to the bed to sit by Ivan. I looked at him and mouthed ‘Jade’ and he nodded in understanding and mouthed ‘tell her I said Hi’. “Hey, what's up?” I asked her. “You're alive, thank God! The way he looked so angry, I thought you'll be dead meat by now!” she exclaimed and I looked at Ivan who was suppressing a laugh which caused me to laugh. Her exaggeration skills are over the top. “Ivan would never kill me” I said fondly, smiling at him. “Hm, some tone you're using. Something juicy happened right? You. Have. To. Tell. Me.” I blushed remembering the kiss. “Um, you're c

At Benny's Sandra asked me to meet her at Benny's so we'll talk about pulling I and my family out from the sinking sand—her words, not mine. She arrived before me and as we were about to enter the restaurant, she stopped me. I guess that's what she's good at, stopping me. “You have to hold my waist and act like you're so in love with me” “Why?” I asked, irritated with the fact that she had to call all the shots. “Well, there might be people from school there and we have to convince them that we're together. You know, you cheating on Ella with me and all that plus your family's life and reputation are in my hands” she smirked and wrapped her vine of a hand around my waist. I had no other option than to do the same because I knew she was right…for the latter though. We walked

Ella“Have you ever watched the sun set at the beach?” Ivan asked me. We were in his room scanning through N*****x. I've been hanging out with Ivan because Jade has been busy with Joshua and I didn’t want to intrude in their relationship. Ivan had been such a gentleman, I guess he wasn't lying when he said that no one can hate him for a long time. Of course he had been bringing up the kiss just to tease me; Sometimes I would pretend to be offended when I actually liked it and he had been hinting that he won't give up on us. Most times he says it outrightly.Since the day he kissed me, he hasn't done it again but he can't stop himself from pecking me on every part of my face except the lips of course.He's making me confused, I really want to give him a chance but he might actually end up cheating… he's quite popular to the female population in Willow Creek and the rest of America— I guess; being a well known model and all that. Whenever we go out together like to see a movie, to the
