There were times when James felt insecure seeing Kara with anyone else than him. Sharing her was never he enjoyed, be it was with her girl friends or with her family. He wanted her to be with him all the time, need him like he needed her, the desperate need he felt was unquenchable and he wanted her to feel the same. Kara showed that she wanted him, but he always wondered if she craved him just as desperately as he craved her?
James mouth had started to descend down on Kara's when Kara's phone started ringing loudly. James' face dropped in Kara's throat in exasperation as a small giggle left her lips.
3 Years laterKara climbed out of the car while adjusting the dress she was wearing. Everything was the same as when she had left the place. Just as pretty as it was back then. The peach petals greeted her way when she slowly lifted her gaze to stare at the empty, hollow house. It did not look like home anymore. Even though it looked just the same as it did three years ago, the warmth that she had in her heart for this place had melted away.
As soon as their eyes met, shock covered his face, and Kara stumbled back on her step. She was not ready to see him. Not now, not ever. There had been feeling inside her heart that she was not ready to face yet and seeing him so suddenly just made them worse.So the next thing she did was turn around, find the nearest door, and walk out of the house. Her head was bursting with the thoughts of what she was supposed to say or do but there was no answer. She found herself in the backyard of the grand house that was covered with trees.
James stood frozen at the door step. He had heard the words his mother had said. His heart almost stopped, his fist clenching tight.He was never told that there was going to be an engagement, leave alone the engagement of his brother and Kara! And then he suddenly realized, it was just the same as all those years of childhood. Everyone had declared him the evil of the house without understanding the reason for his behavior.
A small smile slipped up on Kara's lips as her hand covered Damon's. After the chaos that had covered her heart when she had been in James's room, Damon's touch just brought a feeling of calm to her. It did not make her heart pound like James's touch did, but then it did not bring any pain either."I am happy that you are finally back for good." Damon bent his head down and left a small kiss on the bare skin on the corner of her neck.During the past years they had grown a lot more closer than they had ever been in the past. He had started caring for her more, seeing his future in her. They had never crossed the line of closeness begween their bodies, but they had grown closer emotionally. In the past three years, he had flown to meet her without telling anyone in the family whenever he could get a chance. At first it was just to check up on her and see if she was okay, but then later it had turned into a strange craving that could not get f
As the clock struck three am and James laid down in his bed, his arm covering his eyes to try and block every little thing that had parted him from Kara three years ago. It was like a faint dream that came and went away, but that was the only thing that had kept him from going near her when she had needed him the most.The whole family had been devasted when the accident had happened. Each one of them were buried in grief, everyone trying to cope with the sadness as much as they could on their own or with the support of someone else.But then after bringing Kara back to the hospital, James' father had immediately sent him to clear up the business that Kara's parents had left behind. It would not have taken the company even a day to turn the tables around and give the whole business to someone else, so they needed to take action before the other investors could intervene.His father had to be at home for the family, and Damon had never learned anythin
“Yeah, that was not enough,” James whispered and closed his eyes for some moments before opening again. His lips sliding down to her cheek, “I should have tried harder. I should have chased after you.”Kara stayed silent as she felt his touch on her body. His lips traced the path down to her lips, remembering the time when he had kissed her under the tree for the first time. He did not deepen the kiss, his lips lingered over hers for a moment before opening his mouth and nibbling her lips.“I realized I had lost you when you were not with me.” Kara’s gaze met his with tears. There was happiness in them for having him near herself after so long but sadness as well,“I don’t want to lose you again, Kara. I have been living in hell for so fucking long. I can not handle it anymore. I don’t want to ignore my feelings, give you more time or let everything remain the way it is. I am going to accept it. I am in
Kara had gotten dizzy suddenly and started to fall but before she could touch the ground, Damon instantly supported her as he felt the numbness of her body."Kara!" Damon called out worriedly, but Kara's eyes had fallen shut. Damon's mom and grandma and other guests instantly surrounded them in worry. Without missing a beat, Damon lifted her up in is arms and started to storm his way inside the house shouting at no one in particular urgently,"Call a damn doctor right now!"His voice had turned demanding and powerful. The whole place was suddenly in a panic. James wanted to take her from Damon's arms but Damon was nowhere ready to leave her. He immediately made his way towards Kara's room upstairs from the hall. It was a long way from the garden of their house but without missing a second or hesitating, he carried her there instantly."Damon, calm down." his mom called out, hastily running after them, "it is alright. She might have fainted because she has
Kara came out of her room as she heard strong, cheery voices from outside. After eating the food she had gone to her room to sleep peacefully the whole night. The morning sun shined brightly through the curtains when she got out of the bed and came to the balcony to look outside.Her eyes instantly fell upon James and Damon who were playing basketball for different teams in the courtyard outside. There were some of their friends who were clapping and whistling in encouragement while playing alongside them.Damon's eyes met hers and he instantly smiled and waved at her to come down. She smiled at him, seeing the friendly match that was going on between both brothers. But then the smile was instantly wiped off her face as the ball suddenly hit Damon on the back of his head when James tried to snatch the ball. The force was strong and due to lack of attention towards the game, Damon immediately fell face first on the ground."Damon!" Kara shouted in panic and immed
