THEAA loud bang made me stir, it came again and I still thought it was from my dream until it came again and I woke up to the sound of the doorbell ringing. My eyes flew open and I sat up, The sound came for the fourth time and my heart skipped a beat. It was early in the morning, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Without wanting to, the events of yesterday came to my mind, they were still fresh, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of worry. I glanced at the clock on the bedside table, realizing it was much too early for any visitor. Lily stirred beside me. She must have been woken up by the noise as well. Tyler was up too, his hair mussed and his face more handsome than ever. Even in this state of worry, I couldn’t help but admire his handsomeness. I couldn't help but be captivated as I watched him rack a hand over his luxurious hair. The way the tousled hair fell gently over his forehead, and the peaceful expression on his face made my heart skip a beat. His eyes sl

The officer eyed me with a suspicious glint in his eyes as he showed me a piece of glass and presented Sarah’s hand bag to me.It was clear they were suspicious of what had occurred here and with the bad press surrounding me right now, I couldn’t fault them for it. I’d be suspicious too if I were a detective.“Yes, that’s Sarah's bag and yes she was here. I invited her over for dinner to talk about business but unfortunately she slipped and fell on her way to the kitchen and knocked over a vase, you see my daughter had spilled water on the floor and had forgotten to clean it up.” I explained to them in the calmest voice I could muster.I could feel Booker’s eyes on me and her hands holding on to me in a vice grip that I was sure she was going to leave bruises.Without thinking, I wrapped my hands around her and drew her closer to me, unconcerned whether or not the officer’s would be suspicious.The officer seemed satisfied with my answer, in fact he looked like he didn’t want to be her

THEAI let Sebastian envelope me in his warm embrace, happy and equally surprised to see him.“You look well.” Sebastian said as he kissed the top of my head. It had only been a week but I had missed him.“So do you.” I replied with a smile, as I pulled away from him. “Come on in.” I told him and locked the door behind him as he stepped in.“I’ve missed you.” I said to him with a soft smile as I came to stand in front of him. He looked handsome as usual in jeans and a white compressor shirt.“I’ve missed you too.” He smiled, ruffling my hair. I slapped his hands off and he chuckled.“Being here has made you a bit harsher huh?” he said in a playful tone and I rolled my eyes at him in response.I beckoned for him to come with me and he followed me into the living room.“Where’s Lily?” he asked as he glanced around, looking both unimpressed and uncomfortable in Tyler’s space.“She’s at school,” I told him as I plopped down on the couch.“is that a good idea?” He asked with raised brows.

THEA"Oh my God, what have I done?" I asked as I walked into the empty kitchen with my hands covering my mouth as the weight of what I had done sank in.I sunk into a stool beside me and groaned out, upset at dumb things that I had said to him . How could I have said that to Sebastian? He was only looking out for me.I wanted to run after him but he knew he was long gone."Everything okay?" I heard Tyler's voice from the entrance of the kitchen. I glanced up at him and he looked at me confused."No." I shook my head, "I did something stupid.""Hey, it's okay." Tyler rubbed at my back.We were now in the living room sitting on the couch and I had just finished telling him what had happened between Sebastian and me and how much I had fucked up by literally telling him to go back to his country. I had carefully omitted the fact that the fight had been about him as a he tried to calm me down but I didn't need calming."No, it's not. I said horrible things to him." I looked over at Tyler

TYLER"Are you sure Sebastian didn't do anything?" I asked Thea once she had finally calmed down."He didn't do anything, I promise. I'm just worked up over the stress of…Everything. I'm fine I promise." She reassured and immediately went back to making dinner or heating up dinner but I still wasn't convinced"Alright." I said in a skeptical tone.I wasn't completely sold on her words but I didn't push it anymore but if I find out that Sebastian had laid a finger on her… I didn't want to think much on what I'd do to him.We were done with dinner and Lily had gone up to bed when Thea came to sit beside me on the couch. Her scent took over my senses and my hands suddenly itched to touch her, carress her skin and make love to her.After that day we had made out in the kitchen, I'd not been able to stop thinking about her and now that she was barely an inch away from me I felt the urge to reenact that moment."We need to talk." She suddenly said as she glanced at me."What about?" I aske
