Chapter 30

Chapter 30Lydia gasped dramatically, "He kissed you?!""Shhh!" I shushed her."Sorry." She whispered, probably realising we were at work and anybody could hear her. "Thank you.""Well, did you kiss him back?" She asked eagerly, still whispering."No." I whispered back. "I-I mean, kind of. It didn't really last long before I pulled away.""Oh, my God, you literally have the most interesting complicated love life ever." She exaggerated."I know." I whined."Then, what happened?""What do you think happened?" I furrowed my brows. "It was like the club all over again. He apologised for kissing me, went all extra silent and weird after and decided to drive me home. The ride back to my house was SILENT, bloody silent Lyd. And apparently, he called in sick today.""Oh, man." She made a face. "That's not good.""I mean, it just didn't seem like the right moment to be sucking faces." I explained. "He had just told me something really personal a-and I don't know, it was a really sad atmospher

Chapter 31

Chapter 31The lady at the reception almost didn't let me pass.Apart from the time I had come to pick Dean up the day we went to the art gallery, I had never really visited him here. Seeing as he was a special guest, his room number couldn't be disclosed due to confidentiality reasons. I had to go through our previous texts to find where Dean had lazily mentioned his room number. The lady tried ringing his room but he didn't accept the call. I was already agitated when I was trying to explain the situation to her and she still wouldn't hear me out until she recognised me as author Grace Anderson.Turns out she was a huge fan and an autograph on her copy was all it took the entire time for her to let me up.If my heart was pounding before, it was running a bloody marathon by the time I was going up the elevator. My worry still hadn't subsided by the time I had gotten to the 5th floor and was searching for his room number.When I eventually found it, I took in a deep breath before I k

Chapter 32

Chapter 32I'm certain the people at the cafe thought I looked funny, the stares they gave me said that much.But I couldn't blame them, I was wearing hotel flip flops on a fancy silk brown dress. My hair was also tied up in the messiest bun and I'm sure I had dark circles under my eyes. Well, I got my breakfast order and headed back to the fifth floor in the elevator. Just as I was careful not to make a sound when I was stepping out, I also applied the same effort when I came back. Dean was still sleeping soundly by the time I got back. I made my way to the dressing mirror and started placing the cups of coffee and wraps of bagels on it. One of the bagel wraps slipped from my hand and fell to floor."Shit." I cursed under my breath, picking it up.I heard a low sound come from Dean and I looked back at him to see that he had woken up."Grace?" His voice was low and deep as he sat up and rubbed his eyes."Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you." I apologised, feeling bad."What are you-"

Chapter 33

Chapter 33My head was spinning.I needed everything to pause for a moment.So much had happened in the past 72 hours that I wasn't given enough time to process. It was crushing me.The drive back to my house was basically me trying to hold back tears. There was so much going on in my head that I feared it was going to explode. I had called Lydia and she sounded scared at how frantic I was. I could barely even form a proper sentence to explain what had happened, so she assured me that she'll be at my house soon and I should breathe.By the time I got home, I felt worse. I tried to simply take a minute to process and there was no thought that didn't hurt. From accepting the fact that I hadn't gotten over Dean to basically trying to end our friendship to Connor kissing me to witnessing Dean's panic attack.Dean's outburst tore me apart in more ways than I let on. I had always imagined the possibility of him feeling that way but actually hear him say them to me was another level of hu

Chapter 34

Chapter 34For a moment, I stood there, awkwardly staring at her.The shock I felt was probably displayed on my face. She looked like she wasn't moved at my reaction, like she expected me to be this surprised.She finally spoke, "Can I come in?"I quickly collected myself and tucked loose hair behind my ear, saying, "Yeah, uh, sure."I stepped aside, giving her room to step into my house and once she had done that, I closed the door. Her eyes wandered round my apartment. Not in a weird way, simply in a 'taking in my environment' kind of way. I observed her as she stayed silent, trying to tell by her expressions what she was thinking and what she was going to do next.Did she find out that I kissed Dean?Was she here to tell me to stay away from her man? To pull my hair even?She didn't look like the type to fight over a man and even if she wanted to, she would've launched for me the minute I opened the door.Not being able to take the looming awkward silence anymore, I said, "Can I g

Chapter 35

Chapter 35Our lips moved in a more heated manner, everything we felt for each other heightening and melting into the intimacy we were sharing. We were both breathing harshly without bothering to come up for air.Lifting me up by my thighs, he led me to the dresser as my legs stayed wrapped around his body, my mouth never leaving his. He set me down on it, not caring about the things that had toppled to the ground in the process. I pulled his body back to mine, taking in his lips and loving the sound that escaped him when I did.We continued to ravish each other's lips fervently. Then he pulled his mouth from mine, trailing kissing down to my neck, nipping and sucking on the skin between hot opened mouthed kisses. Another soft moan escaped me and my head fell back as a result of how good he was making me feel.His lips trailed lower, getting to the swell of my breasts which was a bit covered by the shirt I had on. I wasted no time in reaching for the hems and pulling it above my head

Chapter 36

Chapter 36It took a lot of effort to drag myself out of Dean's hotel room. I could've stayed in bed with him, eating whatever, the entire day but I knew I had to head back to my house and get ready for our date.I really wanted everything to go perfectly tonight. I could tell Dean wouldn't have had a problem simply staying in bed, talking and watching dumb shows, but he mirrored my enthusiasm because he could tell how much it would mean to me if the night goes the way I plan it.The entire time I was in my house making plans, I would catch myself unconsciously smiling. I was so happy to be with Dean again and it was such a wholesome feeling. It felt perfect in its own little way and I wanted it to stay like that for as long as it could.I got some rest after making sure my plans were good to go. I woke up feeling refreshed and with a few texts from Dean. I responded to them before I started getting ready.Immediately I got out of the shower, I FaceTimed Chris and told him everything

Chapter 37

Chapter 37"Mmm, it actually tastes pretty good." Dean said, after tasting the pistachio flavoured ice cream I made him buy."Told ya." I told him, hooking my hand on his arm again as we walked."So, was that the next stop?" He asked, smiling down to me."No," I snuggled my body closer to his, seeking warmth because the night was kind of colder than usual. "That was just a quick snack break because I realized that food wasn't actually the main idea in any of my date plans tonight."After we left the studio, Dean and I made a quick stop at a convenient store, because I figured he'd be hungry. We got ice cream and other random junk before we made our exit.The night was cold and peaceful, so I insisted we take a walk down the sidewalk, seeing as how our actual next stop was not so far away."Aww, aren't you sweet?" He cooed. "You know we could've just waited till after we got back to order takeout. I'm not that hungry.""Pfft," I scoffed, "who said I did it for you? I was the hungry one

Chapter 38

Chapter 38"Oh, my God!" Lydia's scream was loud enough for the entire building to hear. "Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God!""Lydia!" I whisper-yelled, a small chuckle stifling through. "Pipe down!""I'm trying to, I'm just so excited!" She beamed.I couldn't help but squeal along with her, "Me too, me too!""Finally!" She exclaimed, a very bright smile on her face. "It's about damn time!"It truly did make me happy to see Lydia react to my great mews as though it was hers. Squealing along with her, in that moment, reminded me of how lucky I was to have found a true friend in her.Dean and I basically spent the rest of the weekend enjoying each other's company in my house. I loved how he talked about how much he liked how my house looked and how homey and comfortable it felt.After practically spending three days straight with each other, getting up for work this morning felt like pulling teeth. I had to get ready before 8 AM, while he had to head back to the hotel so he could also get

Chapter 39

Chapter 39It was Friday in no time.Dean and I were busy with work majority of the week. There was a time where he and his team had to pull an all-nighter, so I didn't see him at all that day. I understood, though. He was really working as hard as he could trying to secure this business deal and I was rooting for him heavily.I also had a lot of work to do at the office, seeing as Mr Hughes had given us a task of submitting the best five works from the recent submissions we've got. There were a lot of submissions and there were a lot of captivating stories, making it difficult to decide.Connor and I started speaking again. Not like we ever really stopped, according to him. He refrained from bringing the topic of Dean up whenever we spoke and I was grateful for that. I did tell him that we had gotten back together and if the news had hurt him, he definitely did a good job in showing no signs of it. He simply told me that he was happy for me.I guess he really meant it when he said th
