All Chapters of SOAR WITH ME: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

#Chapter 71 EvelynOur chests are touching and my feet are placed between his. My eyes find his and they're already watching me with grave severity. The green appears a bit darker in shade or perhaps it's the low light around us. Whatever it is I can sense them igniting with the same intensity as my body. My skin is begging to be close to him and discover this new air that we share now. It's different and buzzing with so many energetic molecules. I studied chemistry and biology in high school, but all of it fades away when it comes to him. No science in my head can make sense of what I'm feeling. I want him and don't want him at the same time. I put my hand on his bicep and feel his muscles contracting under me instantly. From this close, I'm aware of the way his body goes rigid against me.Bringing my mouth close to his I focus on his lips which look extravagantly appealing at the moment. I'm dying for a taste. It's been so fucking long. I wonder if they'll feel the

#Chapter 73 EvelynIn the next hour, I call everyone to the conference room. I assign tasks as we begin preparations. Tinsely and Jessica are excited. Justin looks troubled. As for Declan and Ivan, they seem to sneak glances at each other and my suspicions rise to the ceiling. If this is karma, I'm getting fucked in pain.Tinsely and Jessica buy party supplies while the men move the furniture in the foyer transforming it into a hangout den. We hang a few ornaments and set up a table for refreshments. 'Cruel Summer' by Taylor Swift is playing through the room's loudspeakers and everything is perfect. Taking out my phone I text Warren. Evelyn: We're having a party. Be here by three pm. Also, bring Connor with you.A few seconds later he replies. Warren: Stuck in an important meeting. Connor is with me. I don't think we'll make it.Pretentious rich busy asshole. Evelyn: Okay. No problem. It sucks when your plan fails. "He declined. They're in a m

#Chapter 75 EvelynI can do it.Okay, that's an exaggeration.I can finally think about evolving my wedding card print company into a wedding planning company. With the stream of the latest orders, I've been saving up most of the revenue and focusing on doing as much research as I can.I owe this to Warren. His contract saved my—titanic of a—company. I hope we aren't doomed like Jack and Rose. Due to the clause of revenue share I'm getting more, and it seems unfair, but I can't do anything about it. Warren is like a rock. He won't move until he wants to.Miles and I are in a park. It's a Saturday morning. Looking back I can't believe it's been two months since I've set foot in nature. I stay cooped up in my office all the time.I watch Miles running like he's on clouds. He rolls and jumps like he's the happiest in the world.Snapping some pictures I send them to Michael who immediately calls me."I'm adopting your dog."I scoff. "I'd like to see

#Chapter 77 EvelynI guess the memories that are hitting me, crash into Warren too, as he speaks up after a beat of silence. "We still are.""No, we aren't." My defense mechanism quickly shoots him down.The speaker pours sounds of rustling and I wonder if he is working. "Evelyn, best friends don't break up. They drift away."The words incinerate my hatred for him and all that I've shared with him those ten years ago comes flooding toward me. It's crazy how I see the wave from miles away, yet I don't turn the other way. I stand and let the water drown me with its weight. Sinking me so deep that I have to learn how to breathe underwater."So you still think of me as your best friend?" I ask as I switch off the lights in the living room and let Seattle lights up my room."Always. You're my best friend before anything else."What about love? The question itches my tongue but I know we're not ready to have that conversation yet."I thought that was Connor."

#Chapter 79 EvelynSince that charity event, I've been thinking a lot about Genevieve and Adam. The two of them are the cutest together. I plan on donating clothes and toys to the organization first-hand. Of course, Austin Meyer will be at my throat for breaking some code of conduct—as he doesn't like me—but I'll handle him this time.Overlooking all the paperwork. I have a meeting with Beth who scowls less at me now. I guess the party did a number on her. By the time I finish up evening rolls in and I want to bang my head against the wall for getting late when I tried my best to be early.Ivan and Yasmine walk into my office chirping like best of friends. The smile on Ivan's face brings me so much happiness to me. It's such a great feeling when your best friend is happy and falling for someone who is good for him."I have a date tonight." Yasmine announces and Ivan rolls his eyes."You fucked him two days ago. Have a break." Yasmine slaps his muscular arm an
