All Chapters of I'm in love with my gangster boyfriend: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The next day, the sun is shining brightly as we step onto the soft, warm sand of the beach. The sound of waves crashing against the shore and the laughter of others fill the air. For a moment, I let myself relax, hoping the sea breeze wash away my worries.Tamrin is already setting up our spot, laying down towels and unpacking a cooler filled with snacks and drinks. Sadie is busy applying sunscreen, her excitement palpable."Come on, Celeste! The water looks amazing!" Sadie calls out, her eyes cheery.I force a smile and follow them to the shoreline. The cool water hits at my feet, and I take a deep breath, trying to let go of the confusion inside me. For a few minutes, I manage to enjoy the feeling of the waves and the warmth of the sun on my skin.We spend the morning swimming, laughing, and trying to build the perfect sandcastle. It's a welcome distraction, and for a while, I almost forget about the tangled mess of emotions I've been carrying.As we take a break, lounging on our to

The next morning, the sun is already peeking through the curtains when I wake up. I stretch, feeling surprisingly refreshed. Last night’s progress on my assignments gives me more motivation to keep going, and I’m determined to finish.After a quick breakfast, I settle at the kitchen table, books and notes spread out in front of me. The house is quiet except for the rhythmic ticking of the clock on the wall. Mom’s already left for work, leaving me with a peaceful space to focus.I'm deep into my assignment when the doorbell rings, breaking my concentration. I sigh, pushing my chair back and heading to the door, wondering who it could be this early in the day. As I open it, my heart skips a beat.Standing there, package in hand, is Liam.“Liam?” I manage to say, my voice barely above a whisper. My mind races, struggling to process his sudden appearance at my doorstep.“That's me ,” he says, his tone casual &l

The next morning I wake up groggy and tired. It's not a surprise that I had no sleep at all.  I had endless dreams about... Liam. Dreams about him being naked and me being.... Naked. I turn onto my back sighing, This sucks. I shouldn't be having these dreams. I brush my hand over my chest feeling like I am someone else.Why am I thinking of him and me like that? I groan turning onto my side. I close my eyes praying that sleep comes quickly. I need to rest. I've been working too hard and barely sleeping. I slow my breathing down and leg my body go of all the tension gripping me. I start to drift off into sleep slowly. I smile when I feel the familiar feel of sleep takeover my body. My mind shuts down and for a split second I completely shut down. I'm woken violently when I hear a bang from outside my door. I open my eyes and almost cry at the intrusion. I'll never  rest!

I march through the crowded halls, my mind racing with a mix of frustration and anxiety. How could Tamrin make this about me? She knows Presley doesn't like me. I bet she hates the fact that Tamrin hates the fact that she's being strong armed into inviting me.  She should have asked me about this first.I finally spot Tamrin by her locker, chatting animatedly with Sadie. As I approach, Sadie waves enthusiastically. "Hey, Celeste!"I manage a weak smile. "Hey, Sadie. Can we talk for a second?"Sadie nods, looking from me to Tamrin. She raises her brows at me in question. Tamrin looks at me, her expression puzzled. "What's up?"I don't waste any time. "Why  was Presley harassing me about her party? I say not in the mood to explain any further because she knows exactly what I'm on about."Tamrin's eyes widen. "Oh, I was going to tell you! I just...I thought it might be fun. And Presley isn't that bad once you get to know her." She says

"Hy, kid" A voice says behind me and I gasp in surprise at the sound.I turn and see Liam standing at the door. The truth is I ran away from the party, We walked into to this house and I lost all sense of reality. Between the loud music, cheering and people making in every corner. I was drowning in sensation overload. So I found the first and headed outside. So here I am in Lia's backyard, lounging on his lawn chair.  I can't really see anything beyond the green lawn in front of me because its so dark but I can hear the ocean ahead of me I bet the view during the day is incredible.The quiet is calming, compared to the chaos in the house.I meant it when I said I hate parties. I've never had fun with too many people around, let alone drunk people. And the fact that I don't drink makes it worse. I can see, and hear everything in normal volume while other people are drugged out of their minds. And are screamimg at the top of their
