"Darling, I want…"
"Here's the credit card. Buy everything you want."
"Darling, I want to give you a child!"
"That's unnecessary."
"…"
Ye Shengge's inborn birthmark could only be deciphered by Ji Shiting.
However, that man was very aloof and reserved, and he wasn't tempted at all. And one day when she finally gave up and tried to leave, that man literally carried her back.
She yelled, " What do you want?"
The man said with his deep voice, "What you've been wanting the whole time.
Ye Shengge always thought that Ji Shiting was forced to marry her, yet years after, she realized that it was all part of his plan, and there was no way she could run away from him.

"Andrea, your turn...".

She rolls the dice.

"Six! Yes!" she mutters under her breath as she moves her figure on the game board.

"It is your turn, James..." Andrea says as she hands him over the dice.

"Okay... wish me luck!". 

He tumbles the dice in his hand before giving it a quick blow and throwing it down on the board.

His smile quickly fades as he gets a one.

"One... great!" He says sarcastically while moving his figure on the board.

I chuckle as I take the dice into my hands, I tumble it around in my hand for a few seconds before releasing it onto the board. It comes into contact with the board before slightly bouncing up and landing on one of its edges, it straight away begins spinning. It twirls for a moment or two before landing. I got five.

"Cheats..." James says as I move my figure forward.

I roll my eyes at him.

"How am I cheating, I just threw the dice..." I tell him.

It is Andrea's turn again. She tosses the dice again and this time she gets a four.

"I am almost in my den!" she exclaims as she counts how many spaces she needs to to get into her den.

"You need eight more..." James looks at the board and her figure.

"Yup, eight...".

It is now James's turn to toss the dice. He tosses it and manages to get a five.

Once he moves his figure. I realise how close his figure is to mine.

"I am coming for you, Ana..." James says teasingly as he hands me over the dice.

"Perve..." I reply, causing Andrea to giggle.

"I can come for you both this and that way, you choose..." he adds with a wink, making me blush again.

I can hear him chuckle under his breath, he probably noticed me blush...

I toss the dice but I get a one.

"Ugh, stupid dice..." I mutter under my breath.

I have only a quarter of the board left to pass to reach my den.

I pass the dice back to Andrea.

She shakes her both hands with the dice inside for a few seconds before releasing the dice onto the board.

"Yes! Six!" She says as she quickly moves her figure six spaces forward, she only has two more spaces to go to get into her den. How does she do this!? Andrea is the master at this game. I don't know if it is just her luck, but she almost always gets the highs...

"Your turn, horny boy..." Andrea teases him.

He just chuckles, taking the dice our of her hand.

He tosses the dice, finally getting a six himself!

"Finally!" he cheers, raising his fist in the air.

"I am right behind you... You better watch out..." he whispers to me.

I chuckle and roll my eyes before getting the dice. I toss the dice, but I only get a two.

"Better hope I won't eat you..." I hear him, he ends with a chuckle.

"I thought I am the one who is meant to eat you..." I reply as I give him a dirty smirk.

"Okay, can we stop with all the sex jokes... I want to finish this game..." Andrea says, rolling her eyes.

"We will try, but we can't promise..." James replies.

I suddenly jump up as I felt a touch on my right thigh. James laughs at my reaction, retracting his hand.

Andrea rolls her eyes, before tossing the dice. She gets one.

"I guess it is pretty obvious who is going to win this round..." James says, getting a hold of the dice. He looks at me before handing me the dice.

"What are you doing?" I ask him.

"I'll let you play before me... Think of this as a head start...".

I chuckle.

"No, I don't need a head start, besides that it is not how you play the game...".

He just looks at me.

"Take it...".

"No... I am not going to take it...".

"Take it..." he growls under his breath.

Looks like I have no choice... I take the dice.

I shake it in my hands for a few moments before letting it out on the board. Two.

"Two..." I mutter under my breath, moving my figure two spaces forward.

He just chuckles.

He tosses the dice and gets a five. CRAP!

"Oh no, looks like my headstart didn't quite work to your favour... You are all mine now" he says, placing his figure onto mine, 'eating' my figure.

"Your turn, Andrea..." James says, handing her over the dice.

She takes them and quickly throws it, getting another one. She wins... again!

Just before she celebrates her third win, she moves her figure into the den.

"Yesss!!" she exclaims, standing up and jumping around. Both me and James chuckle as we watch her do her victory dance.

"Another round?" I ask.

James gives me a sad look before shaking his head, "sorry, I can't, I must get going now." he says before taking a deep breath, as sort of a short break. "What time is it?" he asks.

I take a glance at my wristwatch, "8:23 PM."

"Knew it..." he mutters under his breath, "I must get going, it is getting late," he adds, smiling at me.

I do feel kind of sad that he is leaving, but hey, I will see him again tomorrow though.

I see him stand up as he walks over to the door.

"Goodnight, ladies," I hear his voice as he turns around to me before giving me a wink with his sexy smirk. Of course, I blush, but just a bit.

"Goodnight, James..." I say I don't know whether he heard me or not, but I stand up too.

I walk before I speed up to a slow run as I reach the door that James is about to open.

I place my hand on his shoulder causing him to turn around to me.

"Are you okay, beautiful?" he asks me.

I nod, "yes...".

I see him tilt his head slightly as a small smile forms on his lips.

"Goodnight..." he says, raising his hands to my cheeks. I can feel him rub his thumbs on my cheeks.

I place my hands on his chest before I raise my head and place my lips on his. I can feel him instantly kiss me back. He lowers his hands to my hips as our kiss intensifies.

After what seemed like a minute, I can feel his lips slowly pull away from mine.

"Goodnight..." I tell him again before opening the door for him.

"Goodnight, beautiful". He winks at me before walking out and down the three steps. He turns around, waving at me, I wake back at him. I stay out for a few more minutes as I watch him walk away, out the gate, closing it behind him. That is when he turns to me one last time.

"See you tomorrow, my beautiful".

"I can't wait, my handsome..." I reply, feeling butterflies in my stomach.

Turning around, I walk back into the house.

"I am going to guess that you two didn't fuck each other..." Andrea says, sitting on the sofa.

"Yup, you got that right..." I answer as I take a seat beside her.

"Ohhh... You would love to see what my dad gave me..." I add as I remember the package that is in my pocket. I take out the package and show her.

"He gave you... that..." Andrea says as she is looking at the square plastic in my hand. The circle bulging out in the middle gives away what it is.

"Wanna see what I bought you?" Andrea asks you, standing up to get the bags.

"I don't have a choice... do I?" I ask her.

"You got that right...".

I chuckle at her reply.

She brings the four bags that were on the sofa opposite to us.

"Ja mislim da je slatko... (I think it is pretty cute...)" Andrea says as she takes out the long red dress from the first bag. She is not wrong.

"I znam da nemas crvene stikle, zato sam ti i to kupila (And I know that you don't have any red heels, so I bought you a pair)".

She pulls out a pair of gorgeous red high heels from the same bag. I am amazed, no... I am lucky, lucky to have such a great friend!

"I molim te nemoj da mi dajes lekciju kako ti nisu trbale stikle is ove bozanstvena haljina (Please don't give me a lecture of how you didn't need these heels or this gorgeous dress)" Andrea adds as I pick up the dress before picking up the pair of heels.

"Boze, ti si luda! (God, you are crazy!)" I tell her.

She laughs, looking into the second bag.

"Videla sam i ovo i nisam mogla da ti ne kupim. (I saw this too and I just could not not buy it)," she says, pulling out a pair of denim blue skin-tight ripped jeans.

"Znam da ti imas jedan veoma slican par, ali nisam mogla da ti nekupim jos jedan... (I know that you have a pair very similar to these, but I just could not resist..." Andrea says, handing me the jeans.

"Stvarno nisi trebala. (You didn't need to.)" I tell her as I am already in love with these.

"Dali ti se svidaju? (do you like them?)" She asks me.

"Jos i pitas... Obozavam ih (You even ask... I am in love with these)."

She smiles at me before taking out another pair, the same jeans.

"I meni su se mnogo svidele, tako da sam i za mene uzela, iste. (I liked them too, so I bought a pair for myself, they are the same as the ones I bought you)." She smiles, looking at me amused.

"Hvala ti PUNO! (Thank you SO MUCH!)" I exclaim, as I wrap my arms around her.

"I zadnja kesa je za tvog i mog, (and the last bag is for your and my boyfriend)" She tells me as she places a creme coloured jumper and dark blue denim jeans in an empty bag, before handing me over the bag.

"Ako hoces da vidis i ovu kesu pa biraj... (if you want to take a quick look at this bag too and then choose...)," Andrea tells me as hands me the second bag onto my lap.

"Ti si luda Andrea, au... (You are crazy Andrea, gee...)" I reply before taking a look in the bag. I see that the jumper is black to dark grey colour, while the jeans are a lighter blue.

"Meni je svejedno (I do not mind," I tell her.

"Onda cu ja... ove... (Then I will take... these...)" she takes the darker jumper, lighter jeans.

"A kako si znala koju velicinu da mu kupis, sta ako mu je malo ili veliko? (How did you know what size to get him (James), what if the clothes are going to be too small or too big?".

"Lici na Darka, ima veoma slicnu strukturu kao on, (He looks like Darko, he has a very similar structure to him)" Andrea answers as she pulls out two receipts.

"Evo ti i racun, ako mu nestoj da mozes da zamenis (here is the receipt, so that you can change the clothes if they don't fit him)" Andrea adds as she stands up.

"Kad smo vec kod Darka, treban da idem. Sastanak. (While we are on the topic of Darko, I need to go. Date.)" She says, walking over to the door. I walk behind her.

"Srecno! (Good luck!)" I tell her as I hug her before opening the door for her.

"Hvala, vidimo se! (Thank you, see you!)" Andrea replies, kissing my cheek, I kiss hers. Then I see a car pulling up outside my house. The handsome hunk that Andrea showed me comes out of the car. He looks even better in person! Andrea is so lucky that she found him.

"Pozovi me ako ti nesto treba. Kao... savet (Call me if you need anything. Forlikes... advice)" I tell her, causing her to giggle.

"Vidimo se!! (See ya!)" she says one last time before speeding off towards her boyfriend.

I see her hug him, kiss him and finally giving him the bag that is in her hand. She enters the car. I see him looking up at me, giving me a smile and a small wave, I wave back at him, blushing ever so slightly.

I stay out in my courtyard until I see them speed off, that is when I enter back into my empty house, I lock the door behind me.

Immediately, I get my new clothes and place them neatly into my wardrobe before getting a new pair of undies, a clean bra and my pyjamas. I am off to have a shower.

In then minutes I come out, clean and freshened up. I go to my phone and that is when I notice that James texted me.

I open his messages.

James:
Hey beautiful, you asleep yet?

James:
Answer me whenever you can. Would you like to go out with me?

James:
Goodnight, beautiful.

He just asked me out!? Oh, God!... What do I say?

I take a deep breath. "Play it cool, Ana... He is your boyfriend after all... right?" I tell myself.

Me:
Hey, my handsome, I would love to go out with you... but where will we go? As far as I know, this is your first time in Belgrade. Haha.

I wait a few minutes, enough time for me to go to the kitchen and get myself a glass of water, chips and some other snacks. Movie night!!

I walk back into the living room. I leave my snacks and drink on the table while I quickly run to my room for a thin blanket.

I come back into the living room and I cuddle myself up with the blanket as I get the bowl that I filled with chips and other snacks. I also get me water and leave it on the ground beside me.

I take a look at my phone to see if James texted me back. Nothing.

I sigh before leaning over and grabbing the remote of the table, before logging onto Netflix.

I quickly decide that I want to watch the movie 'Notebook', that movie is for sure one of my all-time favs. I press play and make myself comfortable.

By the end, I am once again in tears. The movie never fails to make me ball my eyes out.

I make a quick bathroom break and when I come back, I refill my drink and snack.

I come back onto the sofa and I cover myself back up with the thin blanket.

I quickly check my phone to see if I got a text or a missed call. I see that James has texted me back a few minutes ago. I open his message.

James:
You may have a point... But we can decide tomorrow, can we? ;)

Me:
I guess so...

James: 
Are you okay?

Me:
Yes... I am, why are you asking?

James:
Does not look like that to me...

I get confused...

Me:
And you can see me?

James:
You know... windows are the greatest invention to this day...

A moment passes before I hear a knock on the window behind me. I turn around to a sight of him, standing in the heavy snow.

I jump up and run to the door, unlocking it and letting him in.

"Feels like a fucking blizzard outside..." he says, jumping into my warm house. He rubs his feet off the doormat and quickly closes the door behind him, before locking the door.

He takes off his shoes, jacket and cap that he has on.

I straight away greeted him with my warm kisses on his cold lips.

"I have missed you... I could not sleep, I just had to come here, to come to you".

I take hold of his hands, but I feel how cold they are.

"Come here..." I drag him over to the sofa.

"You are crazy and you are gonna catch a cold. You know that?" I tell him.

I try to remain serious, but the smirk on his face causes my lips to curve up.

"Come here..." he says.

I don't move.

"Come here, beautiful," he says again.

I still don't move, instead, I look at him amused. I am curious to see what he will do.

In a split of a second, he grabs me by my hips and pulls me towards him. I collapse and fall on the sofa, beside him. Before I could do anything, he claims my lips his. I can feel him kiss and suckle my lips before our tongues began doing their dirty dancing.

Our lips part as I scoot myself closer to him. 

"I love you so much... you know that?" I hear him whisper by my ear.

I nod, "yes... I love you too" I reply, wrapping my arms around him.

I feel him sit up for a moment, just to get the thin blanket over us.

After that, I felt his legs wrap around mine as his arms wrap around me. 

"Goodnight..." He whispers gently to me.

"Goodnight... my handsome..." I reply.

I hear him chuckle before I felt a gentle but a cold peck on my warm cheek.

I close my eyes and within seconds, I fall asleep.

*EXTRACT FROM THE STORY*


"Umm, hi James, Ana here... in case if this phone number does not seem familiar to you. I just wanted to see how you are... umm... so... how are you?... I'm good if that is what you were going to ask me..." I pause before letting out a sigh. "But not as good as when I am with you..." I say, not believing how freely I just said that. "I... I miss you... very much... I can't help but wonder if you feel the same about me... if you miss me too...".

Then my mind goes blank. "I... I..." I begin, searching for a topic. "I hope you have a good stay in Belgrade... I guess me wishing that I could see you again would be a bit too much of a wish..." I end my words with a giggle.

I find myself, once again, walking around my living room.

"Anyways, that is all that I wanted to say. I wanted to see how you are and if everything is okay. I also read that letter... you have a really beautiful way with words..." I say. "But how do you know I don't like being woken up?... Actually, I don't think anybody likes being woken up, so scrap that question..." I giggle, but then I shake my head. I am taking too long. "Sorry, this message must be very long by now, so I am going to finish now... I just... I really want to see you in person again..." I then once again pause as I look down at my legs that rub my carpet.

"Anyways... that is all I have to say... see you- I mean, probably not really, but I am hoping I'll get to see you, you know...". A sigh escapes my lips. "Bye..." I say before distancing my phone from my ear and press the red button.

When I got home later that night, my parents haven't got home. Yay I thought. I went over to the counter in the kitchen and poured some Coco Pops in a bowl and dumped some milk in it.  I took it to my room with a cup of water.  


After eating, sat up on the bed with my laptop on my laps and logged in to Netflix to watch the last three episode of The Originals I missed. I was crushed when Hayley Marshal died.  Niklaus was devastated, Elijah was in grief. I cried which is a second cos Kylie Bay almost never cries.  Lol...


Speaking of cries,  my phone buzzed and checked that I have fifteen new messages. Ten from Dustin and five from Hailey. Dustin was begging me and apologizing saying that he will never do such again like I will fall for that again.  Hailey was asking me if I was okay and  wanted to check if I'm coming in to school tomorrow.


I replied:

TO HAILS🔅:
         'I'm not coming. I want to gather and compose myself well before I show my face to Stanford High'.

Message delivered ✅


Hails🔅 replying...
  
     
       'Well take all the time and rest you need or do you want me to come over and we will have a sleepover? Remember, Kylie Bay isn't a stuck up bitch to put up with dicks. Love ya'. 
 
  Message Read ✅


KEELS ❇️ texting...
    
   'This is why you are my best friend.  Love you too. Goodnight'.

  Message delivered!

 
Hails🔅 texting..
   'Night'.


I couldn't help but smile at my best friend's attempt to make me smile and charged my phone and put it on the drawer by bed side. I laid back in bed and pulled the duvet over my head but couldn't sleep because of the one body that could make my heart beats crazily. 


But I was sad on another thought because I told Justin I would pick up Justin and will go to school together tomorrow. I wanted to call him but I stopped when I remembered that I didn't have his number. Darn it. When I need something important, I never seem to find it. 


My heart pangs at the thought of Justin waiting and it's gonna be fault for him to be tardy for class.  I can imagine the look on his face and my face scrunches at the thought of that. I removed the duvet and found some sweatpants and sweater to put on. I ran down the stairs and met my parents in the kitchen laughing heartily obviously at a joke or stories my mom cooked up. 


'Where are you going at this time', they both inquired. 


'I'm going to meet Dustin. He said he's sick!', I lied through my teeth and I didn't mind a little bit. My mom's face lit up at the mention of Dustin cos my mom and his mom are both members at the country club while my dad looks disinterested. Typical Dad!


'So I'm going already. Bye'.


'Don't be stay too long', my dad said after me. I closed the door and thought I have a window to climb.  Justin's definitely not Dustin. Yuck, not in a lifetime. 



I climbed through the window of his room (and yes I know his room) using the pipeline and thank God it was open.  I pulled the sliding window to one side and using my left leg to lift my right one inside the room. 



Justin stirred in his sleep and I was amazed by how peaceful he looks without his shade blocking his view,  I now have a clearer image of how his face looks and I was swept off my feet. I shook my shoulders to wake him up and he sat up in his bed sleepily. He was almost jumped out of his skin when he heard my voice. 


 'Justin! Justin!! Justin!!! Wake up! '. 


'Kylie, what are you doing here at this time?  Are you alright?  Is anything the problem?', he asked sleepily. 


'Hey,  I'm fine. Sorry for disrupting your sleep. I just wanted to tell you not to wait for me tomorrow and not coming in'. 


He looked at me and for the first time I looked into those green blue eyes of his and I was surprised how a persons eyes can be that gorgeous. It's amazing. This boy in front is a freaking God! 


'It's OK. Why did you have to tell me at this time of the night?  Why couldn't you tell me tomorrow?', he inquired locking his eyes with mine directly.


For once I felt unable to give a response and I just sat on the edge of his bed to keep my breathing steady since I can't find a definite reason for my sudden action.


'Em..  Em.. Well you see, I..I didn't want to keep you w..waiting for me to tomorrow. I didn't want to be the reason you are late for class tomorrow. I didn't want to your parents to think I'm irresponsible by keeping their son waiting for me in the morning which is understandable cos I was the one that said you should wait for me. Well you know ---! I was cut off from rambling further more when I heard Justin shake up from laughing too hard. He was gripping his night clothes in his hand laughing uncontrollably.


'Why are you laughing? Did I say something wrong?  Oh my God,  I'm so stupid. I kept you up from sleeping only for me to ramble my head off'. 


'Your are rambling again',  Justin said trying to keep himself from laughing.
 

'I'm sorry', I said finally and stopped rambling. 


' There's no need to apologize Kylie. I'm fine with if you are being late', he said. 


'No I need to apologize for my actions and how can you seriously OK with me supposed being the reason you are going to be late?  How are you this nice?  I mean even I can't being OK with it.  I would have scratched that person face with my nails and jammed the door in their if they try to come near me or even try to apologize.... I was cut off again when I felt apart of lips on mine. 


Justin pulled back immediately what he did, a blush settling on each side of his cheeks. 'I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have done that.  I'm so stupid.  You were rambling and gonna wake up my parents with your noise.. he also rambled.  I couldn't help but smile while I also latch my lips onto his catching his gasp and savoring the taste of his mouth on mine.  


I cupped his cheeks and Justin titled my head with his one of his hands and he pressed the other hand to my lower back to bring me closer to him and close the distance between us.  I wrapped my hands around his neck and he wrapped his arms around my shoulder making me straddling him in the process. I earned a carnal moan from Justin and deepens the kiss making this the best kiss we have ever shared.  


The kiss got frantic and we pulled away to catch our breath and two seconds later we are at it again kissing and putting our emotions in the kiss;  passion, desire and lust. Justin pulled my lower lips between his teeth sucking on it feverishly and I gripped his hair harshly in return, after that he pulled away from my lower lips and move from my lips to my rub my nose with his making this the best moment ever. 

I kissed him once more on the lips and find it hard to let go. Kissing Justin is good and having him kiss me back is the best.  To say he was an inexperienced kisser is an understatement, he is amazing at kissing and think he was made for kissing me only.

I had his first kiss with him and I want to be his last also.   

I pulled back at Justin straightened his leg underneath me creating a friction between us and making me gasp at the rate of tingling feeling I got caused by how close we are at the moment. I barked out a laugh but Justin pressed his lips to mine to keep me from waking up the whole household. And I definitely think he loves kissing me too. 

'So you are not going in tomorrow?', Justin asked heartily while playing with my hair.

'Yeah.  I'm not'. 

He hummed in reply and I saw a flicker of disappointment but he masked it up immediately.

'How about we meet up after school tomorrow?', I asked trying to lighten the situation.

He answered smiling, 'Yeah sure'.

Chelsy's POV

The rain beated against the window of Nathan's room, and I stood in the corner, my arms wrapped around me, refusing to get more water drippings on his floor than I already had.
"Forget about that jerk Chels, he doesn't deserve you" Nathan said as he dug into his draw to get me one of his shirts "You deserve a great guy, you're amazing and perfect and-"
"But not perfect enough for you?"
He froze for a moment then brought his gaze to me, a sad look in his eyes.
There was a brief silence, only the sound of the pouring rain against the window pane.
He turned his face away and continued digging "It's not like that"
Once again, his words weren't satisfying me.
I needed to hear more.
I needed closure.
I looked down "Should I give up on liking you Nathan?"
He sighed and stood straight, looking down and rubbing his forehead "I don't know. It won't work anyway P. It's best to let it go"
Ouch.
He returned his attention back to his draw and I pushed my hair back from my eyes exhaustedly.
Who ever said love was easy?
"Just like that? Do I give up just like that?"
He turned to face me "It's not that you aren't my type P. We just can't. And I am sorry. I shouldn't have let things gotten so deep. The things we did in this room, should not have happened"
"So do you regret it Nate?"
He looked at me for a while and I patiently waited for a response.
 He made his way over to me "I don't okay? You have no idea how hard this is for me"
I looked up into his eyes, starring at him for a while before asking "Do you like me?"
He swallowed and for the second time hesitated "I-I can't answer that"
I nodded, finally getting the message "Okay. I am sorry for pressuring you about this this whole time, I should go-"
I spun around to head to the door when he gripped my hand "Chels"
I looked back at him "Let me go Nathan, you don't have to pity me"
"It's not pity"
"Then what is it? You can't answer if you like or not because obviously you don't"
"Chelsy listen. It's not that I don't want you"
"Nathan you are clearly confused, you don't know what you want or who you want-"
"P, I know what I want. I just can't get it okay? I can't have what I want"
I narrowed my eyes at him "What do you want?"
He starred at me for a while then looked away, running a hand over his face.
"Nathan, what do you want?" I repeated tilting my head to analyse his face exppression, hoping it would give me a hint "Please tell me"
"I want you Chels, and I can't have you"
I looked at him with wide eyes.
Did he just say what I heard him say?
 "I am so use to getting everything I want and this time, I can't have this one thing and it's driving me crazy"
I stepped closer to him "Why can't you have me? I want you too so what's the problem Nathan?"
"I can't mess up my friendship because we are two troubled teens who can't control our hormones"
"Is Max the problem?"
"Yes. He is, I can't do this to him"
"Nathan....if Max can't understand that we like each other-"
"Chels, he trusts me okay? I cannot do this to him. I want you but I can't-"
I tipped on my toes and planted my lips on his, silencing his speech.
The kiss caught him off guard, not giving him enough time to close his eyes.
It lasted for a short second before I moved away in no time, stepping back and inwardly gasping at what I had just done.
Where on earth did that bravery come from?
He starred at me for a while, his eyes sparkled with amazement and something else.....lust?
I blinked at him and he just stood looking at me in awe, his perfect lips that were still damped from the rain forming a perfect "o" as if he was shocked out of his wits.
"Uhmm...." I looked away "I am sorry"
Suddenly he gripped my shoulders and pushed me against his door, pressing his forehead against mine "You're driving me crazy Chels"
I glarred up at him, our breathing suddenly rapid. I parted my lips to attempt to speak when he bent down and planted his lips on mine, fiercely and hungrily stopping me from uttering the words I would.
It wasn't one of those slow kisses, it was one of those built-up ones, filled with tension and hunger. He groped my waist as our mouths and tongues moved in sync. I wrapped my arms around his neck but he gripped them, pinning them above my head as he moved his lips along my neckline. The veins in his hands stood up as he tightened his hold on my hands above my head. A moan escaped my lips before he released my hand, gripping my waists and lifting my legs around his waists.
His lips found mines again as he placed me to sit on his dresser, hitting over the contents in the process and they fell on the ground in a hard crash.
"Nathan, your stuff-"
"Shh P" he whispered as he began kissing the area between my neck and cheek, sending an arousal through my entire being. I sucked in a breath as my hands gripped the tip of his dresser.
 His lips found mine again while his hand moved under my shirt, squeezing and groping my bare skin and sending a reaction between my legs.
The feelings came back, the need, the longing.
Soon he lift me off his table and placed me flat against his bed, hovering over me instantly as soon as my back landed against his sheet.
I barely got time to breathe when his lips were on mine again, kissing me hungrily.
He lift my shirt up, moving his lips to my stomach and my toes curl at the feel of his mouth on my skin. 
"Nathan" I moaned his name.
"Yes Princess?" He reached a hand up and pulled my bra down roughly before bringing his lips up to put a breast in his mouth.
If I wasn't that high on adrenaline, I would feel a bit self conscious about him seeing that much but I was drunk on hormones.
While his mouth was on the small bud on my chest, His hands found it's way to my jeans, fumbling with my buttons.
He unzipped it before using that same hand to move up and grab my other breast between his fingers, all the while his mouth not leaving the other.
He pressed himself against me and I felt the hard bulge of his man-hood in his pants.
It was as if it brought me back to reality or rather yet, 'poked' me back to reality.
We were about to have sex, was I ready?
He gripped my wrist and pinned it above my head as he trailed kisses on my chest. He pulled my skin between his teeth and I let out a soft moan.
He then pressed himself harder on my thighs, the bulge inside his pants poking me on the leg felt bigger now.
A lot bigger.
Gigantically bigger.
Holy mother of-
"Na-Nathan" I called his name quickly and his mouth left the area above my breasts to look me in the eyes "You okay?"
"I-I don't think I am ready, T-to have sex, you know?"
His lips curved up into a smirk, his dimples popping out at each corner of his cheeks as his hand began finding it's way in my jeans "I know P, who said we are having sex?"
We weren't? Then what on earth would you call-
"Ahh!" I moaned with a loud gasp when a finger found it's way to my woman-hood between my legs.
 He smiled at my reaction before bending over and silencing me with a kiss. He entered with a finger, not too far but I still felt a small sting but the pleasure overpowered any form of discomfort.

"Oh My God" I breathed, squeezing the sheets of his bed.
"Was this how bad you wanted me?" He whispered, moving unto my neck and showering kisses on my neckline.
I felt myself rising to a quick peak and I squeezed my eyes shut, my body moving on it's own as my legs squeezed together tightly, trapping his finger in.
He gripped my leg, pulling it apart and pinning it down so I didn't move "Keep your legs open for me Chels"
I moaned as my back arched, my eyes snapped close and he bent over and pressed his forehead on mine.
"Open your eyes Chels, I want to see the look in them when you cum"
I obliged, my eyes starring into his deep blue ones as he added another finger inside, speeding up his strokes and that was where I released, my body shaking beyond my control as I trembled through an orgasm.
I tried keeping my eyes open a he asked while my climax did it's final waves.
It was definitely better than the first time, leaving me breathless and fighting to catch my breath.
I began coming to a low and back to myself, breathing heavily.
Nathan smiled and kissed my lips before sitting up and leaning back unto his palms, his eyes steady on me as I found myself "You okay?"
Hell yeah.
I nodded and attempted to sit upright, pushing my damp hair back from my face "Yeah....I think...."
He laughed slightly "That's punishment"
I brought my gaze to him, catching my breath as I spoke "For what?"
"For thinking that I didn't like you" His face was suddenly serious "I like you , alot and I want to be with you"
I smiled.
Those were the words I had longed to hear from Nathan.
 Could time stop here? 
"But for now, we should keep this from Max" he continued "He can't know. Just until I find a way to tell him, alright?"
I smiled and nodded.
As long as I could be with him, I was fine with whatever.
"Nate?! Nathan!" His mom's voice flowed through the creases of his door and we exchanged glances.
Oh shit, did she hear us?
"What do we do?" I whispered, getting quite panicked.
If she ever caught us, we would be dead.
"It's okay, stay here" he whispered back, looking quite calm and collective as he got off the bed and pulled his door open slightly, he slouched in her way so she had no view of behind him "Mom, you're home"
She attempted to shoot a quick glance behind but Nathan's head wouldn't give her the luxury of even a peek "Yeah I am, I heard some noises so I came up to see if you're fine"
He nodded and gestured a thumb behind him "Yeah, Was just watching a movie on Netflix"
She nodded slowly "Okay sweetheart, well I brought icecream so come on down, maybe we can finish that movie you're watching"
"Uh yeah sure, I'll be down soon, Give me a minute alright?"
She smiled "Sure dear" 
He closed the door as she made her way down the stairs then he turned to me, who was looking at him with that anxious look still on my face.
"She heard you moaning" he said with a smirk.
I gasped "No way in hell"
"I told her it was Netflix, don't worry"
I held my forehead.
Talk about humiliating.
"I should go by the way, my Mom had said I should be back in by 9" I told him.
He nodded "Okay, I'll text you"
I smiled as I hopped off the bed "Sure. Are we like.... dating now?"
My cheeks heated at the question.
He chuckled as he moved over to me, putting his arms around me and pulling me close "That wasn't practice just now, so that's your response"
I grinned "Okay, I like the sound of that"
His hands found it's way below my back and gripped my butt cheeks in his hands, giving them a light squeeze.
A gasp escaped my lips and he smiled "Go, before I punish you again"
I laughed "If that was punishment then I will be naughty for the rest of my life"
He laughed as I moved away and made my over to his window, pulling it up.
The rain had stopped falling by now and I bent my head over to see if the ladder he always had by his window was still in place.
It was.
When we were kids Max and I would use this ladder to secretly go by Nathan's room to play whenever our parents told us we were grounded.
"Great. I will take this route" I said turning to face him.
"Or you know you could just take the normal way out, like a normal person?"
I folded my arms "So your Mom sees me? Wow brilliant idea"
He smiled "You can just tell her I was watching Netflix with you"
"With all those moan noises that she heard? No way in hell"
Nathan bit his lower lip with a smile.
"Goodnight" I said turning away and hopping over the window.
"Damn, I like a girl who can climb ladders" he teased, as my feet landed on the first step "Makes me wonder what else she can climb"
I rolled my eyes at his perversion, although the sentence did make my cheeks flushed "Whatever Nate"
I made my way down and he watched me carefully until my feet landed on the grass of his backyard.
I waved a hand at him with a grin "I made it safe"
He smiled "So I have seen, I'll text you okay?"
I gave him a smile back "I'll be waiting Sharles"
He chuckled and I turned away and ran over to my side of the block with a huge smile plastered all over my face.
Honestly, this was probably the happiest I had ever been in my whole lifetime.

I pull into a juice bar completely out of breath. I pull out my inhaler and breathed in. I walk up to the stand and flag down a server. "One mango madness." I the squeal of tires in the back ground, I don't bother to turn and look. 
"Umm make that two." A voice says behind me. I quickly flip around to find the god himself standing there. "You ran away. You said you have a nurse?" He asked but more like a statement. 
I cough a little like I'm clearly my throat, "umm yeah. I have a long term lung condition." I turn back around in my seat. He sits right to me through and stares at me. 
"Hmm" he replies like he's thinking. "Aren't you suppose to be getting back?" 
I blush embarrassed of the answer I'm about to give, "I was... umm I ran out of breath running from you." I whispered. 
He laughs, "well I can say with confidence this is the first time a girl has tried to run from me." My face turns beat red. "I like a challenge." 
I start coughing at his response choking on my own spit. Right as the server brings our drinks. I grab it and drink in hope to stop coughing. 
He bursts into laughing, "glad to know I have an effect on you just maybe not the one I was going for." 
"Sorry," I breath out. 
"Don't be. We should hangout sometime when your free. Here's my number call me." He hands me a napkin with his number on it. He then walks to the cashier and pays for the drink. He winks at me and gets in his Jeep and drives off. I finish my drink and walk to the cashier. 
"Oh, that man already paid for your drink." Says the cashier. 
"Oh, umm thank you." I say and walk to my bike and fire that puppy up. I put my helmet on and drive down the road to my house. I walk in the guards give me the knowing look of where you but don't say anything. I climb the stairs to my room and fall on the bed exhausted. I turned on my tv to some random show on Netflix. I scrolled through my phone looking at dumb videos on Instagram. I start to get change into pjs when I remember the god's number in my pocket. I take it out and add it to my phone putting it in as god man and text the number 'thanks for the drink.' 
I finish changing into an old shirt and shorts. I get comfy in bed and go back to my phone with a message, 'no problem hopefully you'll let make a dinner sometime. You going to the cliffs tomorrow love to see you there.' 
'Umm maybe, I don't know depends if I can sneak out.' 
'Sneak out aren't you 17?' 
I blush, 'umm yeah my parents aren't strict cause of the medical condition.'
'Damn I'm sorry well definitely try I'd like to see you again and get to know you ;)' 
'Okay,' I blush even harder. I feel this warmth in my chest that I've never felt before. I never thought it was possible for someone to like me like that. I thought I was going to die alone. 
There's a knock at the door and my nurse comes in, "Sweaty Umm I know you like going out but maybe right now is not the best time. I'm not saying this because of your parents it's just that there is a new disease going around. A lung disease." She paused almost scared. 
"What do you mean a new disease?" I say not likely the sound of it. 
"Well it's Covid-19. It kills those who are old or have previous medical conditions. I know you want to go out but keep it to a minimum or crowded areas. Like what we do for the flu season." 
I nod my head in dismay. 
"That's all have a goodnight."
"Goodnight." I fall back into bed with frustration. Why me? Guess no date for me but cliffs isn't populated so I guess I can still go there.

DISCLAIMER: MATURE SCENE WITHIN THIS CHAPTER ‼️ 

Kai's POV

"Hey. I'm Clio," She spoke. It was a soft friendly greeting, but i could hear the confidence behind it.

"Yeah I remember...uh," I half smiled. "Kai," I nod vaguely and lazily salute her with two fingers.

"Yeah... about that," She slouches in her chair and rubs the back of her neck giving an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry about Ryder and what he said to you. He's a joker," She explains.

"It's fine. I'm sure it was hilarious" I sarcastically assure her.

She stays silent. Soon after, the teacher started passing out three pages of advanced Calculus. The teacher cautioned the class and assigned all three pages by the end of the period. It was easy. In no time, i had half of the second page done along with a completed first. On the other hand, i could literally hear Clio struggle. She would occasionally huff and angrily shake her head. 

"Do you need help?" I whisper hesitantly, hoping she doesn't hear me, unfortunately, with my luck, of course she did.

"Yeah actually I do, I'm not sure how to do number 5."

"That ones easy here let me show you..." I walk her through the steps and explain everything in detail. "..and that's how you do it," I say with a proud feeling and a tiny smile.

"Oh wow, thanks. This makes so much sense now." She was about to go in for a hug as a thanks, but i stuck my hand out for a handshake instead. She pulled back and took my hand as a sign of her gratitude nonetheless. The hand shake lasted longer than expected. The contact between our skin ran a chill through my body. Seconds turned into minutes, and minutes turned into hours, or at least that's what it felt like. Then the screeching sound of chair pushed the realization back through the both of us. Clio cleared her throat and retracted her hand back to the desk and continued working.

As the day advance, quite slowly if i may add, i find that Clio is in five out of the seven classes we take per day. Well isn't that just faaaantastic. -_-

Lunch couldn't have come sooner if i say so myself. I was currently contemplating two things. Because i didn't have any friends, I could either eat lunch on the cold front steps of the school or  eat lunch in the cafeteria alone. Finally making a decision, i walk into the lunchroom. I immediately regret it.

Walking in all i could see was bustling people and horny teenagers. Right in the middle of the room, almost like a freaking movie, there sat Clio, Ryder, and a couple of other students who look so far up their own asses that they would scoff then spit on you if you were to ever get too close to them. And of course the ridiculous PDA at that table. Girls with short cheerleader outfits sitting on the laps of guys with thick football jerseys. I roll my eyes as i spot the pair sitting on top of the table. It was Clio and Ryder, they were the worst. His hands rested on her butt and he was kissing down her neck. Her arms were around him while she clenched the back of his shirt with her eyes closed. 

Shaking my head for the last time, i turn and walk to the line to buy food, but feel a tap on my shoulder. I jump slightly from the unexpected contact.

I turn to see Clio smiling sheepishly, "You've got to stop doing that," I insist.

"Sorry," She gave me a sheepish smile, "but I just wanted to ask you, since you're new and everything, if you would wanna to sit with us?" She asked pointing her thumb, over her shoulder, at her table.

"Yeah, uh... I think i'll pass," I answer grabbing a plate. 

"Look please? Ryder is actually really sorry. A-and it was even his idea" She bargains beginning to pout. I mean you should have seen the look on her face, and how amusing it was. I stayed silent for a couple seconds, trying to stop the smile that was threatening an escape onto my lips, until I gave up.  

"Yay!" She exclaimed doing a little dance to herself before leading me to their table.

When we got there, shortly after, she excitedly introduced me to the group, "Guys, this is Kai. He's new." She sounded so proud of herself like she had scouted me or something. 

I heard shameless murmurs around the table, comments like, "He's hot" and "Damn." I just stood there awkwardly with a tray of food in my hands, looking each of them in the eyes with a tight, uncomfortable smile.

Ryder strolled up to me, threw his arm around my shoulder, and casually called me out. "Oh my god guys, it's Broke Boy." He turned his head to give me a side ways glance and a cocky smirk.

As soon as those words left the mouth of that bastard, I was ready to hang my head walk away before I did something that I would have regret. There's no way that that couldn't have been any more embarrassing. Much to my dismay I turn my head and notice that everyone in the cafeteria suddenly fell silent and all eyes were on us. 

"Let me tell you a little something about Broke Boy here. Clio and I met him at McDonalds. He was in line to the side of us, trying to pay for a McChicken, when he had to take his dollar back from the cashier and leave because he didn't have enough!" This was like a show for him. He captivated the crowd with his almost charming appearance, and fed them by causing a problem. I've never been so embarrassed in my life. They all just laughed, every single one of them. 

"Stop Ryder. This isn't funny." Clio announced through the steady laughter.

"Babe... it is funny," he informed her through laughs himself.

"How could he be broke when he goes here?" Someone asks.

 A courageous guy stands on a table to answer, "You know the school allows three kids in with no money as charity." That sent the people into hysteria. I finally had enough. I pushed Ryder to the ground with all my force and hear him groan loudly in pain. Breathless, i look up to see hundreds of anticipating eyes. Expecting me to jump on him and throw punches, i bet. People are just disgusting. 

Shaking my head, i angrily stomp out of the lunch room. I hear someone follow me out, but i couldn't care less about who it is so i continue on. I burst through the front doors and jog down the stairs. I mindlessly walk to my foster home, heading straight for my room ignoring the Nanny's questions.

Clio POV
I wasn't shocked by how ruthless Ryder was toward Kai. Ryder has a reputation to uphold. And especially in front of his friends, or other people in general, he becomes a completely different person. Not one that i'm too fond of either.

"What the hell is wrong with you!?" I shout at Ryder turning to run after Kai. 

For the rest of my classes, during passing time, i found myself searching for him in the crowds of teenagers. As soon as three o'clock hit, i text my parents hoping for a ride. I don't want to have to sit in  a car with Ryder while he acts like what he did today wasn't totally douchey.

'Sorry honey, your dads in a business meeting until 6 and the hospital is so busy right now. I might be here all night. What happened with Ryder, doesn't he usually take you?? - Mama'

I didn't really feel like explaining my relationship problems to my mom. So I decided to just wait for Ryder at his car. 

"I thought you weren't going to show up," Ryder said scratching the back of his head as he mode his way over to me. 

"I wasn't going to, but my parents are both busy so," I shrug and cross my arms. So what if it was harsh, they do say honesty is the best policy.

"Baby please don't be mad at me." he says as he puts his hands on my waist and pulls me in to kiss my forehead. I grab his hands and place them by his sides and try to open the car door. He can't just expect this to be forgiven and forgotten by putting on a new personality and being all cute and sweet and stuff.

"Can you unlock the door please," I mutter looking down at the door. We stand there in the same position, for what seems to be hours, until he finally unlocks the car doors and we both get in. 

"Babe, look, I'm sorry. It's not even that serious though. Why do you even care so much about this guy? It kind of hurts me that you're worrying about this dude when you barely know him," he sighs in frustration. I haven't thought about it that way. Is he jealous? I don't want him thinking I have feelings for Kai or anything. I just want him to know that what he did was wrong no matter who he'd have done it to. 

Grabbing his face, i pull him closer before reassuring him. "You have no reason to be jealous Ryder. I'm just trying to get you to understand that what you did was wrong. Okay?"

"I know. I'm sorry." he says before starting to laying kisses all over my face. In between the kisses he whispers sweet things to me that make heart flutter. "I don't want to lose you." "Forgive me baby." "You mean everything to me." I playfully push him away and giggle. 

"You won't lose me. I'm yours," I tell him.




Ryder put his car in park as soon as we reached the outside of my house, "Can i come in?" He asks with hopeful and suggestive eyes. 

"Of course you can," I say exiting the car. 

As we make our way to the front steps we notice Nick talking to, what i assume to be, his new girl. Nick has the tendency to get bored easily so you will never see him hanging out with the same girl for more than a week. His current play thing is leggy, curvy, and beautiful. She has dark hair and piercing brown eyes with thick gorgeous eyebrows. Walking over to him, Ryder calls out his name to get his attention.

"Where are you two love birds headed?" Ryder is clearly amused by his friends actions.

"We went to the store real quick to get condoms because i ran out." He winks at the girl and shows us the box. Next thing you know, he bought his face down and started motor-boating his lady friend. Surprisingly the girl found it extremely amusing and laughed as if that wasn't completely disrespectful. 

"What are y'all going to do? Watch Netflix and actually chill?" Nick smirks and continues to laugh along with his female.

I could feel Ryder get irritated. Forcefully, he grabs my butt, pulls me to his chest and starts to roughly make out with me as they watch. The kiss felt sour and disgusting to me. I try to push him off me, but he just held me there until he was satisfied enough with his show. 

"Now excuse me while I go fuck the shit out my girlfriend 'till her brain explodes." Ryder turns around triumphantly and walks proudly to my front door with me trailing behind him. I glance behind us to see that Kyle and his woman still stood there, staring at our retreating backs with both mouths agape. 

We walk inside and jog up the stairs to my room. I shut the door behind us and turn around and witness this kid furiously rip off his shirt.

"I hope you don't think we're having sex after what you did out there just now," I laugh while moving to sit on my bed and look up at him.

"What did I do wrong now?" Ryder says rolling his eyes and dragging a hand down his face.

"The fact that you don't even know is ridiculous," I stand abruptly and angrily walk toward him. "You literally just DEGRADED ME OUT THERE. The funniest fucking part is that you see nothing wrong with that." At that point my arms were flailing about. 

Taking a step forward, Ryder places his hands on my shoulders at an attempt to calm me. "Clio calm down, I'm sorry. I thought it would be funny since he was doing it, and his girl seemed totally cool with it." Did he just try to brush it off as if its wasn't a big deal?

That got me ten times much more angry. "I AM NOT SOME BITCH WHO'S FINE WITH BEING SOME GUYS TOOL FOR A WEEK! No offense to Nick but he has a new girl every week. So don't you dare compare me to the girls he brings home." 

"Look, okay, i get it. I won't do it again." He says pulling me into a hug. He fucks up a lot but I can never stay mad at him for too long. I hate that about myself. I stood there uncomfortably in his arms in the hug until he let me go.

 "Okay well, we could watch Netflix and actually chill, or you could leave, because we're not having sex right now." I stand with my weight on the right leg, hip out, and arms crossed. i was dripping attitude.

He put on his shirt, and I feel my stomach drop. Is he actually going to leave because I won't sleep with him?

"Alright, I'll pick the movie, you go and get the snacks" he says as he jumps into my bed. 

Walking to my closet, I release the heaviest breath of relief, "Okay I'm going to change first". I pick out a pair of gray shorts and a black tank top, and walk into the bathroom until an idea struck my mind.

Just because I said i wasn't going to do it with him today, doesn't mean I can't tease him. I walk out the bathroom and place my clothes on the white dresser that stood next to my bed. I watch him scroll through Netflix before he noticed me stand there awkwardly. 

Ryder turns his body to me. "What are you doing?", He asked amused.

I stay silent and place a confident smirk of my lips. Slowly, i take off my uniform. I first slide my blue and red blazer off my shoulders, onto the floor. Untying my tie slowly, i slide it off over my shirt collar and head. I slowly unbutton my shirt one by one while biting my bottom lip. Ryder clears his throat and sits up with his back against the wall. The shirt falls over my shoulders, but i catch it before my boobs are exposed, teasing Ryder with look of my smooth tan skin. 

"You can look, but you can't touch," I tell him, with a wink, before I let my shirt drop to the floor making a soft, quiet thud. My white lace bra was on full display, and i was starting to feel self conscious as Ryder didn't even try to hide the fact that he was looking. I felt my hands rush to my chest with the feeling of embarrassment.

Ryder has seen me naked plenty of times, but it still hasn't changed the fact that i still feel a little bit of insecurities. 

He noticed. "Baby stop. You're beautiful," Ryder says with a soft expression, licking his lips. Ohh he looks so good when he does that.

I sigh, pleased, then continue. I unzip my skirt at the side and begin to pull it off slowly. Before it gets completely over my butt, i turn around and pull it to my ankles. After stepping out of my skirt, i put my hands at the back of my calves, run them upwards, as I slowly stand straight, and rest them on the curve of my back. 

"Girl, you don't know what you're doing to me." Ryder says breathing heavy. Oh but I do. His little friend in this pants is giving me the reaction I wanted. 

I turn back around to face him, lift one foot onto the edge of my bed, and roll my knee high socks down. I repeat the motions with my other foot, then quickly throw on the clothes I had picked out before I started this whole teasing thing. I crawl into bed with him, and cuddle up next to him putting my head on his chest, draping an arm around his waist, and tangling our legs. It couldn't get any better than this.

The movie he chose was "The Best of Me", Ryder is secretly a romantic.

During the movie, Ryder kept rubbing his hands up and down on my thigh and on my butt. If I hadn't just promised to not have sex with him, in protest, I definitely would have right then and there. 

All of a sudden, Ryder pushes my limbs off of him, and climbs on top of me with intimidating force, pining me down so that I can't move. He leaves trails desperate kisses on my ears, cheeks, lips. Moving down my jaw line he makes his way to my neck leaving marks from the violent biting and sucking. He moved his hands to under his shirt while lowering his kisses down to my chest. My whole body was heating up, and I didn't want to stop him, but I had too.

"Nope. We're not having sex." I push him up so that where face to face, but his body still hovering over mine.

"Who said anything about sex? This is just kissing," he says wearing a smirk, then he continues to kiss my body, leaving me breathless once again. He moved his kisses lower and lower, until his head was in between my legs.

'It's not sex, it's not sex' I told myself, refusing to interfere with what was coming. He took advantage of my propped legs and used the position to pull down my underwear and shorts. Taking his time, he placed kisses and licks up and down my inner thighs, driving my body crazy with anticipation. He brought his head up to kiss me, and brought it back down, immediately licking my clit and then sucking on it. My back arched and my hands desperately clenched the sheets of my bed begging for relief. I was losing it. He started writing the letters of his name gently around my clit. I looked down at him as he looked me in the eye. 

"Who's can only make you feel this good?" He demanded, writing his name then using his mouth again. 

I tried saying his name, but then he started using his fingers so I could only moan one syllable at a time. Each time I tried to say his full name, he thrust his fingers into me harder and harder, causing me to moan louder and louder each time. 

I was just about to cum when I heard the front door shut and footsteps leading up the stairs, "Clio, I'm home," my dad calls out.

'It's my DAD' I mouth to Ryder. 

I quickly slide under the covers while Ryder does the same and plays the movie. 

My dad opens the door slowly, making sure to knock. From beside my door, my dad saw me cuddling with Ryder, he wasn't the biggest fan of him. 

"Oh ... I didn't know Ryder was here..." My says nodding at Ryder.

"Hi sir," Ryder offers him an innocent smile.

"Hey dad," I wave slightly trying to slow my breath from the previous 'events'. 

"I'll just leave you two," My dad backs out of my room closing the door after acknowledging Ryder for the last time. "Nice seeing you Ryder."

As soon as my dad closes the door, Ryder and I Burst into quite laughter. 

"I can't believe we almost got caught," I say in between chuckles.

"But we didn't," Ryder winks at me, "you wanna finish?" 

"Hahaha. I'd love to, but my dad is here, rain check?" I say winking back. I know he's definitely going to get back to me on that one. 

"Of course, it was a pleasure to eat you out." He stands, bows, and flops back onto my bed.

"Shhh my dad might hear you," I playfully hit him with a pillow.

Minutes pass when Ryder has to kiss me goodbye and go home. 

Before I can even settle into my bed after he leaves, I get a message from Ryder.

'Miss you already. Goodnight, have wet dreams about me😉'.

Pitohui teleported back to the game center to get an apartment and take a bath. She ran the water and took off her clothes and went into her warm bubble bath she said " this is so relaxing" she turned on a hole gram screen and watched a Netflix series called on my block. 10 minutes had passed she got an alert from one of the admins the alert said "my boss told me to give you all of the fighter skills, and the best gauntlets in the game and he said that you will be hosting the PVP tournament of guilds so yeah bye" Pitohui said "Nani!?!?! Why would they give me all of the skills and the best fighter gauntlet in the game and make me the host of the PVP tournament this is too much" Pitohui got out of the tub and dried her self off and went to bed. It's the next morning and she checked her skills and saw she had all of the skills Pitohui was surprised that it was legit then she checked her inventory and she saw godly tier gauntlets named cat paws of the kawaii cat. She equipped them and she sparkled with cuteness she said "oh my God these are the cutest gauntlets ever their cat paws eeeekkkkk!!!" she put her gear on and went outside to go to the quest board. She saw a level 30 quest called DRAGONS NEST she accepted the quest she was still level 15 from the giant viper quest it was a co-op quest. She teleported to the area of the quest she saw another archangel race and look at the person name and saw the person name was Naomi Pitohui remembered that Naomi was her friend in the beta test she got excited and said " Hey Naomi!! I missed you!!" Naomi looked back and saw pitohui and said "pitohui is that you?" Pitohui said "yeah!!" both of them ran at each other and hugged Naomi said "how have you been doing I heard from you since the beta test and I see you picked the Archangel race," Pitohui said "yup and the strongest class tee hee" and they went on to have a great conversation. Pitohui said" let's find the dragon nest, Naomi said "ok" they flew up in the sky and went on to search for the dragon's nest Pitohui said "oh I forgot what is your class, Naomi?" Naomi said " I control swords with telekinesis so I'm a swordmaster? I forgot" Pitohui said "ok". They kept flying but wasn't able to find the dragon's nest thy saw a big black body in the sky. Pitohui said "get ready it might be the dragon," Naomi said "ok" they got ready both of them flew at the giant back body in the sky when they got closer it got bigger and bigger when they finally got close to it. It was the dragon it said "who are you lost souls?" while using telepathy to talk to them Naomi said "where here to kill you and take your items!" the dragon laughed and said," how are you going to do that?" Pitohui said "by killing you"  Pitohui flew at the dragon using earth punch one of her new abilities the dragon dodge it. Naomi used lock-on one of her abilities three of her swords flew at the dragon. The dragon started to fly away from the swords but it was like a missile going after its target not stopping at all Naomi stats to chased the dragon at the same speed. The dragon used a technique called cobra to lose the swords and got behind Naomi and threw fireballs at Naomi she tried to dodge it but it was locked on to her Pitohui Used fire punch and punched the dragon in the stomach. It was effective Pitohui kept on punching it Naomi used one of her sword skills called sword dance she cut off one of the wings of the dragon. Pitohui followed up with the attack and used a butterfly kick and kicked the dragon to the ground. The dragon tried to get up but wasn't able to the dragon said:" what is this power what are you?" Naomi said "we're beta testers. Naomi stabbed the dragon in the head ending the battle the both got the loot and split the cash Pitohui said "do you want to come over my house and have a Netflix and chill night?" Naomi said "sure". They both teleported back and went to the apartment they both changed into there pajamas got chips juice and popcorn and started watching scary party a comedy movie and they went on to have a normal fun movie night. Both of them got tired they paused the movie Naomi got a big blanket and pillows she gave a pillow to Pitohui. They got in the blanket Pitohui said "thanks for the pillow and blanket" Naomi said "no problem goodnight" Pitohui said "goodnight" Naomi turned off the lights and went to sleep. Pitohui was thinking about the PVP tournament and thought how she was going to do it alone then she thought "I'm going to ask Naomi tomorrow to help me with the tournament ugh my eyed are getting heavy good night old friend".

Her life is inside a virtual MMO game


Her class is archangel fighter


And she is trying to figure out what us going on

Liu Zilong slowly walked towards his room. He's just gonna think that today was just a bad day. Actually to be specific, tonight was a bad night. 

He was hit on his wounds that were in the process of healing but he couldn't defend himself. To put it correctly, he didn't want to defend himself for various reasons. He sighed. 

His brother somewhat became hostile because of a simple greeting.

Yes, a simple goodnight... He stopped on his track as he was about to close the door of his room.

'That's right!' 

He now remembered his 'analysis' and 'advice' not too long ago to his younger brother. 

'Damn! I should explain further what I have said.' He muttered to himself as he massaged the temples of his head using his right hand. 

How did he forget the words he said before. He's clearly not in good condition. 

While he slowly strode towards his bed he was thinking what were the other 'words of wisdom' he shared to his brother. 

It would be better to be extra careful next time. The last thing he wanted to experience was that cold glare he gave earlier. It's not because he's scared, it's because he simply didn't want to have a misunderstanding with Liu Zijian. 

The two of them rarely fight as they have different interests but when they do, they would end up in an 'arena' made by their father. They would hit each other until they would feel worn out. After releasing their anger they would eventually collapse and make up. Their father would then give them both a bottle of water each. After the two accepted the water they would jokingly toast. 

* 

"Zijian,.." Han Meixiu once again uttered his name. She wanted to know what made him upset. Based from her observation, her husband was the kind of person who didn't get emotional too easily. If he's upset, then it meant something was wrong. She wanted to know what was it so she could avoid doing it again. 

He carefully let her down when they arrived inside their room. He gently moved his hand to clear the few strands covering her face and slowly lowered his head to warmly kiss her. 

It was a sweet-tempered kind of kiss that made them savored each other's sweetness in an unhurried manner. 

"You're not allowed to kiss anyone except me." He simply said declaring what has been on his mind. This honey taste like that felt extremely good for him was something he didn't want to share to anyone not even to his brother. His wife should be exclusively for him. 

"Of course. I know that." Han Meixiu answered immediately. She couldn't imagine kissing other person aside from Liu Zijian. But when did this topic come from? Was this the reason why he was upset? She couldn't recall any conversation they had involving kissing someone else. 

"I never wanted to kiss anyone else apart from you." She continued as she voiced out her thoughts. "But, why did you think.."

"Then don't say 'goodnight' to anyone." He simply commanded her and kissed her again. 

When the kiss ended, Han Meixiu was able to clear her mind a bit. His kisses could always make her muddleheaded. 

'It doesn't make sense. Where's the connection between goodnight and kiss?' She pondered for a while before she asked him again.

He was leading her towards the bed when she popped up the question. 

"Zijian, are you upset because I said goodnight to Brother Long?"

"Hmmm." He answered as he lied down pulling Han Meixiu with him. 

"Did you think I wanted him to kiss me when I said it to him?" She wanted to probe her ridiculous theory as she carefully asked her questions. 

"Hmmm." He answered while his eyes were closed but his hands were securely embracing his wife who was lying on top of him. 

"That doesn't make sense. Goodnight was just a simple greeting. I always said it to Xiao Xiao but I never wanted her to kiss me."

"She's your friend and a girl, too." 

"But I once said it to Cousin Yu before." She remembered there was a time her cousin slept overnight in their grandparents house. Her grandma urged her to bid goodnight to him and she fully complied. 

Liu Zijian abruptly opened his eyes and looked at her confused wife. "Zhang Yu?" 

She nodded. "My grandmother ordered me to do it. But I don't think she wanted my cousin to kiss me." She immediately explained. She suddenly felt the sudden tightness of his arms around her. 

"Don't do it again."

"That's not the point. What I mean is...'goodnight' is just a simple greeting. It doesn't have any other hidden meaning."

Liu Zijian's expression turned increasingly serious as he pondered on his wife's words. 

"When you said goodnight to me the first time, you didn't want to be kissed?" 

Han Meixiu started to blush and averted her eyes. She indeed wanted. "That..ah..well.."

"What?" He was waiting for her to answer and a slight smile slowly appeared on his face when he saw her stammered.  

"Well, you're different and...and..."

"And?"

Why did she say 'and' she clearly didn't know how to complete her sentence without further embarrassing herself. To escape from his teasing eyes, she decided to bury her self on his chest. 

But Liu Zijian didn't want to let her escape just like that. He moved sideways making Han Meixiu who was not prepared with the sudden movement fell on the bed from Liu Zijian's body. 

"Why don't you continue you're sentence?" He said and tried to look at her face that was now covered with her hands. 

"And..I..you see..."

He gently removed her hands. "Why are you covering your face? Is it that hard to tell me?"

Han Meixiu filled her lungs with air as if the action helped her gathered her courage and minimize her embarrassment. 

"You're different and I wanted to..kiss..you, too." The last three words were uttered softly just like a gentle wind that slowly gave not a cooling effect but it's opposite. 

"Good." He answered while adoringly looking at her sheepish expression. His eyes started to glitter as he moved his head to gave her a 'reward'. The mere fact that she wanted it, gave him an indescribable feeling of happiness. They felt the same.

She used the Second Master of Liu Family to be kicked out of her paternal family with the cooperation of non other than his own mother.

"He's all yours. Don't forget to blindfold him. Even though I know you're a tough girl but his eyes might really give you a scare. You should better be safe than sorry when he wakes up."

"Thanks. He's heavy though. I had a hard time moving him on the bed," Han Meixiu replied with a sigh. 

The woman from the other line laughed.

"Take care of yourself."

"What about him?" She's talking about this man who was soundly sleeping on the bed.

"Don't worry. I have my own plans for him. But I do have one request from you."

"Sure, what is it?"

"Bite him several times."

She was rendered speechless but she obeyed.

Skyler's Point of View

"goodnight" I said to him and he already left.

I was about to go inside my room when i saw Mark followed Lincoln.

I was curious so i followed him too.

What happened to the saying that 'curiosity kills the cat' ? 

Well cats have 9 lives so.. it's fine

I hid under the big vase inside the house when Mark stopped walking.

I hope that he didn't saw me, or else. I'll be dead.

When i saw that he continued walking, i slowly followed him carefully. silently.

I was about to protest when I saw him talking to Lincoln.

what are they talking about? I asked myself.

Because that i'm too far away from them, I can't hear what they're saying.

I can only see that their mouth is moving, but angrily.

until I go near and didn't saw what happened next.

when I just heard that Mark is saying "stop everything before it's too late" 

I had a bad feeling about it.

I stood up from where i was hiding and ask, 

" what's too late?" 

They both looked shocked like they just saw a ghost.

A few seconds passed but i didn't hear a thing from them and just like stare at me for thhe whole time.

"hey" i snapped my fingers that made them stunned for a little.

"What's too late?" I asked for the second time. 

A few minutes Mark answered my question. 

"Too late, Lincoln wants to buy you a ... " he stopped for a while and looked at me uptight. 

"To buy you a gift, for your birthday" Lincoln continued while Marks snaps his finger and looked up hesitately. 

Aww, the two is concern. 

I walked towards them and patted their shoulder. 

"It's fine not to have a gift for my birthday, as long as you, my brothers are here. Even if it's small as long as it's from your heart.. it's fine" i smiled after i said that and kiss their cheeks that made their ear turns red. 

"Sleep now both of you" i said and turn around and walked aways. 

While i was walking i stopped and looked at them for the last time. 

I giggled, i will left them stupefy after this night. 

"I don't need surprises for my birthday, i just want a simple celebration and still i'm just turning 18" i smiled after that and continued walking. 

I smirked, i know right now that they're both confused. 

Kilala kasi nila ako na mahilig sa surprises at laging pinaghahandaan ang darating na birthdays ko. 

I smirked again.

***

Lincoln's Point fo View

I let a breath of relief. That one was close. 

I saw that Mark is still confused. 

Well, so am i. 

"Skyler doesn't want a surprise for her 18th birthday?" He asked confusedly. 

What happened to his anger earlier? Bipolar? 

"18th birthday? Isn't that a debut of a girl who's turning 18? How come she doesn't want to celebrate?" I asked while scratching my nape. 

"I don't know bro" sabi ni Mark at iniwan na akong mag-isa sa poolside. 

Napangiwi naman ako sa inakto ni Mark. 

The heck- iniwan ako matapos akong awayin. 

Sometimes i really wonder if he's a real Coleman. 

Umupo ako sa stool sa gilid ng mini-bar at in-analyze ang ibig iparating ni Skyler. 

I smirked when an imaginary light bulb popped at the top of my head. 

There was once a saying: "Do the don'ts. Don't the Do's" 

Girls. 

Napailing na lang ako sa ideyang pumasok sa isip ko. 


She will love it this time, i swear. 

I pour another liquid of tequila in my shot glass and drinked it. 

Tila ginuhitan ng mainit na likido galing sa tequila ang lalamunan ko kaya napapikit ako ng konti dahil doon. 

"Oh you'll love me after this" nakangising bulong ko habang pinaglalaruan ang yelo sa shot glass ko. 

--------

As days passed by 1 day before Skyler turns 18, now i'm ready. We're ready. 

"Guys, are we ready? Siguraduhin niyong walang papalya sa mga plano ko" i strictly said to them and wave my hand as a sign of 'GO'

***

Skyler's Point of View

I'm so excited, i'm turning 18 tomorrow. 

After that i can do whatever i wanted to. 

"Sky?" Nagising ako sa pagda-daydream ko nang may tumawag sa pangalan ko. 

I stood up and saw them well dressed up. 

"What's the occassion?" I asked while looking at them full of confusion. 

Lahat sila ay naka-suit and tie, i wonder where they're going? 

"Some family bussiness" Lincoln said with full of authority. 

"Make sure to lock the gates, the doors, the window and stay at your room" said Mark. 

I jusy nod while looking at them specially Lincoln and Mark, they're flaunting their handsomeness. 

"Bye baby" William bid me goodbye. 

I just waved back and sat at the couch while i reach for the remote to turn on the TV. 

"Netflix will do" i whispered. 

--------

While i was about to get some snacks in the kitchen i heard some voices that makes me nervous a little. 

They can't be home yet. I said to myself. 

" Make sure to lock the gates, the doors, the window and stay at your room" suddenly i remember what lincoln said earlier. 

God, i forgot to lock the doors and the windows. 

The gate is fine, the maid have surely locked it. 

So i took the cooking pan in the kitchen and ready myself to some thieves or whatsoever it is. 

Nang papalapit na ako sa living room ay naglakas ako ng loob na sumilip at may nakita nga akong apat na tao na naka-itim at may takip ang mukha. 

My god, sabi na eh thieves. 

Lalayo na sana ako nang masagi ng siko ko ang vase na katabi ko na ikinalaki ng mata ko. 

So what i did is i run. 

"Ahhhhh!" Tili ko nang habulin ako ng mga magnanakaw. 

Dahil sa panic ay nahampas ko sa braso yung isa gamit ang cooking pan na ikinatigil nito. 

"Didn't hurt huh?" Nanginginig na sabi ko at tumakbo na papalayo. 

Tumatakbo ako habang hinahagilap ko sa suot kong damit ang cellphone ko. 

Fuck! I left my phone at the couch! 

Habol hininga akong naghahanap ng pagtataguan, makalipas ang ilang segundo ay nakita ko na matataas ang bushes sa gilid ng mini-bar. 

For design purposes. 

I hid there and wait for the thieves to go out the mansion. 

"Phew" i release a breath of relief. 

A few seconds, suddenly someone covered my mouth. 

I can smell some toxic inhalants in the handkerchief that made me feel dizzy. 

"L-lincoln" bulong ko nang tuluyan na akong lamunin ng dilim. 
 

*** 

Mark's Point of View

I was about to go to sleep when suddenly i hear a knock at my door. 

"The heck-" i said. 

What if si Skyler yung kumakatok? 

Tila nagliwanag ang mukha ko nang maisip na si Skyler nga. 

This is my chance, i looked at myself at the mirror and fixed my hair. 

I slowly opened the door but then i saw Lincoln's face with a smirk. 

My genuine smile earlier just turned upside down. 

"What do you want?" I asked. 

"I have a plan" he simply said at walang pakindangan na pumasok sa kwarto ko. 

The heck- does this man doesn't even know how to ask permission?

I sighed and locked my door. 

"Plan for what?" I asked with my furrowed brows. 

"Plan fo her birthday" he said and sat down in my bed. 

Seriously?

"Okay so here's the plan,  the day before skyler's birthday. Aalis tayo ng bahay then tell her that we're going on a family bussiness so that means we can't go home early that day. Hire a proxy thieves that will kidnap her and take her to the island that i just located" tuloy-tuloy nitong sabi. 

My jaw drop, this guy is crazy. 

"For real, are you insane? Baka matrauma si Skyler sa balak mo" i said to him. 

He just smiled at me and shook his head. 

"After that we will surprise her, we will call her parents to go home and her other beloved ones. See then the day after that it's her birthday. We could arrange some party gifts, simple as that" he finished and smile. 

I just nod, but i still asked. 

"Where is the island that you're saying?" 

"In soleanna elys" he said while smirking. 

Again for the second time my jaw dropped. 

Only rich people who can go there. 

"H-how" he stopped me and stood up. 

"Don't worry about it bro, the owner of the 'soleanna elys' are the Wilson's. So what we just have to do is make her parents go home and ask for their permission and telm them about the plan" he said. 

"What kind of mind do you have? " i asked. 

"Peculiar" he said. 

Hell. 

So i just nod and still my mind can't sink that the owner of the 'soleanna elys' are the Wilsons. 

"Just inform the others" he said and payted my back and left the room. 

Yeahh, inform the other- wait what?! 

Arghhh! 

"Lincoln!" I shouted under my breath. 

***

Lincoln's Point of View

"Nakuha na namin siya boss" sabi mula sa kabilang linya. 

"Ok take her to the yatch and wait us there, if ever na magising ulit siya turukan niyo na lang ng pampatulog" i sadi and ended the call. 

"Pampatulog??" Jayson asked worriedly. 

"Don't worry walang halong ibang chemical na makakasama sakanya and besides it's one of Jake's invention" i said while giving him a wink that made him look to jake that just smirked at him. 

"Jake? For real?" Jayson asked. 

"Yeah" William approved. 

"Told ya" i said to the both of them.

-------- 

after madala ng mga tao ko si Skyker sa yatch ay bumaba na kami ng Van at ipinauwi sa driver namin ang van sa bahay. 

"just put her in a bed" James commanded them. 

they obliged. 

--------
lumipas ang limang oras at narating din namin ang 'soleanna elys' 

Walang pinagbago, sa mga kapatid ko ako palang ang nakarating dito. 

why? it's a secret for now.

"Now let the party begin" i whispered to myself and smirked. 


                    END OF CHAPTER 8

Skyler Wilson, one of the famous and rich Wilsons. 

Not just three or five, but six hot brothers

I mean look how lucky she was for having a Six hot damn brothers? 

Even though their house, their rules. She still know how to get along with them. 

But... in every story there's a conflict, in every story there's a problem. 
But the best way to escape from your problem is to solve them. 

" I LOVE LISTENING TO EVERY LIES, WHEN I ALREADY KNOW THE TRUTH"

She's just a simple person who hides a thousands of feelings behind her genuine smile was a melancholic eyes. 

and the most worst of all is that she loves listening to her brothers WHITE LIES.

This is crazy, Claire thinks, as she opens the door to her apartment. One moment, you're in a posh, incredibly luxurious mansion, the next moment, you're back to reality—here in this incredibly average apartment, in this average neighborhood, with people whose concerns never went beyond questions such as "What happened to the wifi?" or "What's on Netflix tonight?"

One moment you're in the seat of power; the next moment, you're back on the sidelines.

Ah, life, Claire sighs. What have I gotten myself into?

If you told her two days ago that she would be serving one of the world's leading, most famous captains of industry, Claire wouldn't have believed you. Not in a million years. But now. Everything that happened in the past two days is hard to believe. Her mother would never believe that Claire Monteverde is not engaged to Gabriel Tan—THE Gabriel Tan. She can see her mother's face exploding in a million pieces if she tells her. But then again, there's no reason to—it's a fake engagement after all. It's best if this comes and goes without altering so much of her life. At the end of the month, if she can survive all this, she'll take the money Gabriel pays her, and leave. Simple as that.

That's what she keeps telling herself. It's all simple. It's all a job. There are tasks she must do, and even the most complicated ones are do-able. Surely, she has done more difficult tasks like the present one. But more and more, she feels it's not really simple. There are intangible consequences to everything she does, to every task Gabriel assigns her. And wait a minute—wasn't she supposed to only work as his "personal assistant", his "girl Friday"? What happened, how did it all end up like this—and for only two days? It's a crazy whirlwind of events and circumstances. 

It's late morning, so there's no one in the apartment. Lena must be in the city library or the nearest Starbucks, writing her latest tale of woe. Karen must be with Russell in some out-of-town trip, maybe in some beach enclave, shagging each other's brains out. While it's usually men who kiss and tell, but Karen's an exception: she loves describing to Claire even the smallest details of her sexcapades, and she doesn't stop even when Claire flatly tells her to shut it. Karen has no self-awareness, and sometimes it drives Claire to the very brink of sanity. Add Karen's boyfriend, Russell, to the mix, whose idea of boundaries must be the same as Hitler's, and you have a truly incendiary situation in the apartment. 

These rare moments of solitude are what Claire enjoys. She can do anything she wants. She doesn't have to be self-conscious of her behavior, afraid of being judged, even by the two girls whose own life decisions are not exactly good. Now, for example, she drops her bag on the floor and throws herself on the sofa. Her own version of "Netflix and chill" is literally just chilling while binge-watching Netflix. There's an old romantic comedy, 'Love Actually', that's on, so she starts playing it. After a while, she feels the munchies, so she goes to the pantry and rifles through the fridge for some left-over lasagna. But there's none, so she checks the cupboard, finds a large bag of Dorito's, and tears it open. She takes a can of Coke, and plants herself right in front of the TV. Ah, this is the life. Not the high-powered, jet-setting lifestyle of the likes of Gabriel Tan, but this: A few moments of alone time in front of the TV, with a can of soda and a big bag of chips. Claire's doesn't desire more. She doesn't even feel guilty consuming junk food—blessed with an exceptionally fast metabolism, Claire has never piled on the pounds, except in all the bright places, such as the breasts and the hips. 

The Dorito's is gone just as the movie reaches its cheerful climax. Claire flips through the apps on the smart TV, and runs Spotify. Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" starts playing. Claire thinks: I've been so stressed out these past few days, why not let my hair down? Totally relax. There's no one else in the apartment anyway, so who will judge? Claire disappears into the bathroom and comes back in her bra and panties, with beautifying gel mask on her face and a couple of cucumber slices, which she carefully places on each of her eyes as she lies on the sofa. 

That's it. Total relaxation. She missed this. These quiet moments of undisturbed peace. Events of the past two days run through her mind. Gabriel Tan, the proposal, the sudden, awkward turn of events when suddenly she had to go to that party. Gabriel didn't even warn her she'd be playing as his fake fiancée. She would have strongly opposed that, but it all happened so fast that there was simply no chance to deflect it. As they say, opportunity unfolded, and she only had to rise to the occasion. Or was it? She had yet to know whether her decision to play along Gabriel Tan's bullshit would be for her own long-term good, or would it burn her and nip her career—if she had any—in the bud. But for now, all those worries are a thousand miles away. She doesn't even want to think about it. She just wants to lie here, on this sofa, wearing nothing but underwear, with Al Green singing about love and longing and interminable sadness.

She must have been lying there for a long time. She has lost count of the minutes or hours. But at one point, she became aware of a presence—no, of someone breathing, standing nearby. She senses it even when her eyes are closed. Her arms feel like pins and needles, and yet, she wills them to move and maneuver towards her eyes to remove the cucumber slices covering her eyelids. She slowly opens her eyes and tries to make sense of her surroundings. Things start to pull into focus. She looks up and fear clutches her throat.

Russell, Karen's boyfriend, is standing there, watching her, with that half-assed grin on his face.

"Work for me for a month, for free. Survive the month, and you'll walk away a rich woman."

All Claire wants is a job, any job. Smart, confident, and an over-achiever at school, she doesn't understand why companies keep rejecting her. 

Until she gets a strange job offer from the most eligible bachelor in the country, the CEO and President of a global company, Gabriel Tan. 

In her desperation, Claire says yes to the offer--and all hell breaks loose. Little did she know that working for Gabriel would be much more complicated than fetching him his coffee--that she would have to put on the greatest performance of her life. 

Worse, Claire soon discovers a rarely seen side of Gabriel--a side that would make her change her mind--and her heart--about this crazy rich boy.

"This is a story that will thrill you to the core of your being. Highly recommended to all romance comedy fans! If you like Sophie Kinsella's works or the Bridget Jones Diary or similar books, then this is for you!" -- Reviewer
