Why's he always doing this to me. I always stop thinking each time he's around me. It's like my brain just stop working automatically. He loves me and I love him too. But then I remembered what he is. Gray kisses me. I didn't kiss back at first. He wraps his hands around my waist and presses me gently against the wall. I hopelessly wrap my arms around his neck and kiss back. Maybe I shouldn't be kissing back right now.I should be thinking about the mess he's trying to get me involved with. And if I don't back out now, then I can't back out anytime soon. I stop kissing him. He stays still with his hands around my waist. I raise my hand and place my hand on his face. His eyes peel apart and they look into mine." We need to talk." I say. He sighs and looks at me for seconds before nodding.He lets go of me and tucks his hands in his jacket." Ask whatever thing you wanna ask , I'll tell the truth."I nod and cross my arms

" You fuckin' did what!" Alexa shouts. She just returned from where ever place she went to and I told her what happened. " You broke up with him? Why would you do that?" " I didn't break up with him. I just needed a break." " So what's the difference?" " There's a difference. I still love him but I can't fit into his lifestyle. It's too much for me to handle. How long will I stop running?" I sigh and run my palms down my arms. " Running? Ariel , you just hurt his feelings , you broke him." " You're not getting it Alexa. I can't keep up with this dangerous side of Gray. He's the best thing that has ever happened to me , yes but…" " You can't accept his dark past and his dark world huh?" Alexa asks and crosses her arms. She chuckles and bites her bottom lip. " I don't mean to sound annoying, but you should stop being the hero here. Don't try to be the good girl who's trying to tame the bad guy. Why

Leslie and I sit my already conscious mom on the couch as she looks down at Leslie. Rage , anger and lots of emotions spread across her face. I sit on the single couch and stare at mom. Leslie stands at a corner with her hands cross. " What were you thinking? Getting pregnant for your professor. You had to sleep with a professor Leslie. A married one with a kid." Mom leans her elbows on her knees and holds her head. " Is he aware?" Mom asks. Leslie bites her bottom lip and shakes her head sideways. " He's not aware?" Mom flares up. She stands to her feet and almost rushes after Leslie. " Mom , calm down." I hold her. " You're gonna suffer Leslie. We made sure you had a good life. I always advised you after I noticed you sleep around. We talked to you. But no , you're this wayward freak who always wants a penis. Make sure you don't come home for holidays or even Christmas. I and your father will stop paying your tuition fee and I

" Ariel don't tell me you're gonna talk to your parents. She couldn't develop the decency to apologise for all the wrong things she did to you. I've been tolerating her shit for too long. Leslie deserve to taste the bad side of life."I sigh and sit on Alexa's sofa. After Leslie left , Alexa decides it's nice to drag me to her room so we can talk about Leslie. I promised her I was going to talk to my parents. I really planned to before she even got here. " Alexa , she's gonna suffer."" I'm not saying you shouldn't help. But let her taste suffering first. I want her to feel all the bad shit she did . She couldn't even apologize for the things she did to you. She couldn't let go of her ego because of what? She was jealous of you. She bullied you, lied against you and even made you feel vulnerable and to top it all , she enjoyed your pains. Now what, your parents cut her out and she comes running to you because you're this nice girl who always

" Okay, can someone tell me why you guys left the restaurant just like that?" Piper asks from the back seat of the car as we drive to the store.Brandon cross his arms as they stare at us. Yeah , that was a bit weird. I couldn't even look into his eyes because they were just looking into my soul. His eyes sparks in recognition and a glint of emotions that I barely could decipher. I look at Alexa as she turns to look at me. She smiles awkwardly and shrugs as she steers the wheel like a maniac she is. She's obviously a crackhead driver like Gray." Some weirdo was staring at us awkwardly , so we had to leave." Alexa answers." Some weirdo? Staring? I mean why?" Piper asks." I don't know. They look wealthy and unpredictable. We weren't ready for any shitty games and we left."" What shitty game?" Brandon asks this time." I don't know guys. They look weird." Alexa answers and exhales." What's up with your restroom hookup?

~GRAY~ I unbutton my dress shirt and shrug it down my arms. I toss it on the couch and undress myself. I saunter to the bathroom and switch on the shower. I stand under the shower with both my hands on the cold wall. The warm water rinse down my skin and all I could think is her. How I fucked up.How I put her life in danger and how she makes my heart beat with just a smile. I missed looking at her.I missed staring at her deep brown eyes, and I missed waking up next to her. I can't even think about anything else but her.I badly wanted to stop calling her. Grant her the space she wanted but I can't. My mind has never been at ease after she told me she wanted to stay away from me.I clean myself and put on a t-shirt and sweats. I pick up a cigarette and light it. Someone knocks on my door and I order the person in. Re

I hug myself as I whimper. Why can't I live life like every normal adult. Always running from gun men who wants me as captive to get to Gray. It's almost midnight and I'm inside Cage's car. We drove out of the club to some isolated area and he parks his car there. At first I thought he was gonna kill me. I still don't know why he tried to save me. The tension between us is so thick and I barely can look at me. " Are you cold?" He asks.I swallow and nod. He smiles and turns on the heater of his car." Better?"" Better." My voice croak out." Who were those people?" I ask." I don't know. Maybe gangsters."" Why were they after me?"He chuckles." Your boyfriend is a dickhead maybe."I scoff and look away." Look, this always happens as long as you're a Mafioso. He's popular, he's powerful and people like that always attract rivals. Maybe they wanna hurt him and since they can

~LESLIE~ I take a deep breath and look at my reflection in the mirror. I've lost everything. Friends , family and even school. I hate my life. How can I make such a terrible mistake? Ariel was the least person I ever thought I was gonna beg. I can't believe i had to kneel down before her because mom cut me out of the family.I wipe my eyes and look down at my stomach. There's no baby bump yet and I'm grateful. Most times I sit down and ask myself what made me sleep with a professor. I don't really know. Maybe I wanted to prove a point to the world. I forget the fact that you can't really please this miserable world. I shut my eyes and remember what Lawson told me.' you're pregnant? Now what do you want me to do? Divorce my wife and marry you?' he yelled at me.I stood like a moron in front of him that day. I look stupid and f

We take the elevator to Gray's office. I've not been here since the day we had sex in his office. I'm never looking at that office differently again." You look nervous." Brooke tells me and i ignore him. Fundraiser. Children Cancer research. Fuckin hell.The elevator dings and we step out. Cassandra raises her head to look at me with a sneer. So he's back and he didn't bother to call me. I feel the pit of my stomach twitch and I'm uneasy. What's he gonna look like after a month. He always looks hotter each time i see him after a long time. " Is Gray in?" I ask Gray's PA, Cassandra." What? Go on and check for yourself Mrs Carter." She scoffs. I glare at her and walk to Gray's office door. I raise my hand to knock but i halt. My heartbeat is rapid and i can see myself freaking out with just looking at him. I'm nervous and afraid. What if he has finally given me up. Then I'm committing suicide. I knock and wait for a

I lean against the bathroom washbowl as I brush my teeth. It's almost 6:30 pm. I rinse my toothbrush and look at my reflection. My black locks are braided into pigtails and I'm nervous. One month was like a nightmare for me. I'm nervous and i don't even know what to do with myself." Ariel." Alexa shouts my name. She's always visiting since Gray left. Brandon and Piper knew he traveled but they don't know the story behind it. I can't tell them what Gray is and why he left.They always made sure I'm okay and they are always visiting. She knocks on my bathroom door and I open the door for her. She looks down at my towel form and smirk. I'm just with only my towel." Oh , shit. Expecting someone?" She grins.I chuckle and step out of the bathroom as we go to my room. " Gray's back." I say and sit on the chair of my dresser." Oh my God." Alexa slumps on my bed." And you guys are planning to make babies tonight. I've got two
