VIANAI twisted and turned in bed before snapping my eyes open. It was morning already and I was already dreading getting ready for school.I groaned into my pillows making a mental calculation of how long it would take me to survive the entire school day and be back home to crawl back into my bed and that was when his face flashed in my mind and I blinked once, and then again.I turned on my side and pulled the blanket over my head.I was so embarrassed I could die. Not even dramatically. I genuinely wanted the ground to open up and swallow me whole because I had actually said the words. Out loud. With my mouth. And he had just. Stopped.What was wrong with me?And what was wrong with him? He had been acting like he wanted to all this while so what was wrong with me saying out loud what we both wanted? I didn't even care anymore that we would be ruining the whole family dynamic that we showed everyone we had or that Marissa could have woken up and stumbled in on us with our bodies ta

VIANAThe rain pattered softly outside and the silence stretched so long that I started to wonder if he was going to pretend he hadn't heard me."How much did you hear?" he asked finally."Enough."He didn't say anything.“What did you hear?” He spoke and I sighed. His voice was flat and I knew this conversation was hard for him to do.“He said you were becoming weak and that you were disgracing the family name."The muscle in his jaw tightened. I could see it from where I was lying."Viana—""I'm not bringing it up to upset you." I turned to look at him. "I just. I've been holding it in ever since, and I must admit that I'm curious; I really do want to know what happened between you and your father. I just… I didn't know how to say it."He stared at the ceiling. "It's nothing new.""That doesn't make it okay.”"I know that."We were both silent again and his fists were clenched. He didn't want to talk about it anymore. That much I could tell."Does he do that often? Talk to you like

VIANASomeone was touching my hair.I shuffled in the bed, stirring around and the hand paused for a while but once I stopped moving, the hand moved back and continued stroking.I groaned and turned, slowly opening my eyes but I didn't see anyone so I shut them back. I didn't feel the hands on me anymore either so I sank back down and let sleep pull me under again.Then lips on my cheek. Kissing me gently, trailing down to my neck.He bit down softly, sucking on a spot and making me moan before I could stop myself.I opened my eyes and his eyes met mine.He stared at me for a second and kept kissing my jaw like he hadn't just been caught.Was this a dream? What was Alvin doing in my room?His hands went to my hair, tangling his fingers in and pulling lightly. The slight sting made something stir in me and the feeling kept rising till it consumed every part of me.He turned me flat on my back and hovered over me, looking down at my face. His expression was full of something I couldn't

VIANAI could hear her laughing from upstairs and it did nothing but make my blood boil.I turned on my side and stared at the wall with my jaw tight as I tried to regulate my racing heart.I couldn't help but be angry. The rain raged on and so did I.She had just come uninvited and ruined the whole atmosphere. Who cares if she came in the rain? We didn't ask her to and she could have just seen him tomorrow at school instead. She didn't have to come up to his house and everything, acting like a mother bird.Worst of all? He let her freaking stay.That was the part that was eating at me. He hadn't even put up a fight. Just looked at me and said she couldn't go back in the rain like I was being unreasonable for wanting her gone. Like I was the problem!I didn't care if they had dated before or still had something going on. According to the rumours. I didn't care that Marissa wasn't the type to let go and still badly wanted Alvin. I didn't care about any of that.My eyes stung as I felt

ALVINThis was not how the night was supposed to go.Marissa had made herself comfortable in under ten minutes flat. She put her shoes by the door, put her jacket on the couch and plopped herself on the couch, not bothering whether her wet clothes would leave a wet stain on the couch or not.“You should have seen the way I almost fainted when I heard about you being rushed to the hospital. I almost broke down into tears but my friends were there to comfort me but I just couldn't stay home, you know?”I sat beside her and tried to keep my expression neutral while she went on about how worried she'd been, how everyone at school was whispering about my injury and how she just had to see for herself if I was doing well.She grabbed my hand and intertwined her fingers with mine and I tried so hard not to pull away."You should've called first," I said."I did. You never picked up."I had nothing to say to that. I hadn't really paid attention to my phone since we got back. My full focus has

VIANA“Don't bother.” I frowned and turned away from him.He shook his head and pulled me towards him, holding me in his arms.“We shouldn't be–”“Shhh.” He said, muttering in my ear and biting it gently. “You know you want this. I don't know why you keep fighting with yourself.”I closed my eyes and enjoyed the way he touched me but I knew that I shouldn't have.My body moved closer to his and he wrapped his hand around my waist.His touch sent shivers down my spine.The scream of the female lead from the movie made me jump.I had totally forgotten that we were watching a movie.I quickly got up and stepped away from him, keeping my distance.“I need to have a bath,” Alvin said after clearing his throat and he got up, limping slightly up the stairs without saying another word.Had I ruined the night for us?“Oh.” He pokes his head around the corner, startling me.“You can put in another movie that you would prefer. I'm sorry for putting a genre that you wouldn't like.”I nodded and h
