Chapter Twenty
Cole
"No!"
"You're an idiot! You should have slept with her" Brad shook his head in disapproval; I was taken aback.
"Wow, what is wrong with you?"
"No, what is wrong with you?" He seemed convinced that something was wrong with me
"She's practically like your little sister; Jeez! I shook my head in disbelief"
"Yeah and you have a crush on her and If you slept with her you wouldn't be here drinking” was his platonic answer
"Remind again me why I am friends with you?" I let out
"Because I'm awesome, Now shut up and tell me why you didn't sleep with her, man she's hot you like her and she likes you " He went on, almost as if debating over the color of my favorite tee-shirt.
"You're unbelievable!" I shook my head. That was the last thing I expected Brad to say. He says stupid stuff sometimes; but
Chapter Twenty-One Ivy Sunbeams made their way through the transparent curtain of my window, and I buried my face under the sheets, not feeling ready to leave my bed just yet. I muffled a groan. I'm not a morning person, not today. I spent a shitty night and I did not want to face the world today. I wished I could just curl in my bed and never leave. The alarm of my phone goes on at exactly 07:00 am. Great ! I got off my bed, took a quick shower and dressed up before going to campus. On my way there, I noticed I forgot my earphones. Great! I stopped by the cafeteria to grab my usual tea for breakfast and while I was waiting at the queue I heard an annoying voice to my right and I rolled my eyes instantly before turning to face him. "Good morning your majesty" Eric bowed in my direction, always the same irrita
Chapter Twenty-TwoIvy"The Golden plate, at noon? I'll pick you up from class at half past eleven" "No need, I'll be there at noon""As you like Princess" Eric said the most radiating smile on his face. I literally forced myself to smile. I wished I could die then.****"You did what?" Anna growled, her emerald eyes darkened with anger. I winced at the deadly tone of her voice"Are you out of your mind?" She added, outraged."You accepted the invitation of that scumbag of Eric for lunch; seriously tell me what is wrong with you? What the hell Ivy?" Yeah... about that, she had a point, that wasn't exactly the way it was supposed to be"Seriously!"
Chapter Twenty-ThreeIvyI froze to my spot. A chill run through my spine as he took a seat and looked towards me. No doubt, It was him. Cole was sitting at our previous table facing who appears to be a man in a black suit.I didn't see him coming! How did he..?"Something's the matter princess?" Eric's voice wondered and I had to keep it cool. I instantly looked back at him."No, nothing I'm just hungry" I faked a smile And he totally went for it."The Food will be here soon" He smiled at meAnd hopefully it did. The waitress came with the food order.It gave me a reason not to speak for a while and also not to stare at Mr. Gun eyes sitting across from me.In his perfect silver buttoned shirt that fit him to perfection. Revealing just enough shape of his muscled arms. He casually held his glass to his lips once again. I looked at my dish abse
Chapter Twenty-FourIvyI was not really hungry so all I did was play with the food placed in front of me. Eric was enjoying his meal and he would engage in small talk but I was somehow short on the responses. Trying as much as possible to stay calm and in control of the feelings I had inside of me. I felt suffocating when I talked to the man in front of me while the last breath of fresh air I needed was between Cole's lips .Luckily, Anna called on time. And although Eric insisted on driving me back to my place I managed to convince him not to and he did not push it. He paid the bill and escorted me silently out of The Golden Plate restaurant. Cole was still seated at the table when we walk passed him. He had been busy with the person he was with . The man in the black suit seemed strangely familiar to me but I did not know out why. I tried as much as possible to ignore Cole's presence
Chapter Twenty-Five Ivy Cole closed his eyes for a brief moment, before he started again "Brad told me about your parents. And that you have nowhere to go after graduation" "No thanks" I said drily I didn’t want him to say a word more "Listen to me I " "Don’t” I cut him off; I was even angrier with him if that was possible. If he thinks feeling pity for a girl like me is going to help him, He is so wrong in so many ways. "I can help you” "I don’t need help” “Ok fine, you know what, forget about it " "Oh you know what, No!" I retorted "Just forget about it, since you are too stubborn to need my help; I was just trying to be nice” "If you want to be nice; why can't you simply understand that I don't need your help?" "No; you don't want help! You need it,
Chapter Twenty-Six Ivy I opened up my eyes against Cole's warm chest at dawn. The window was ajar and sunrays must have awakened me. I had my head burred in his neck and my body laying over his with our thighs intertwined. I looked under the covers to find that I was completely naked. Images of last night came back to my memory .My body withering as Cole was buried deep in me, and our moans. My skin heat up at once, I felt the wetness between my legs and needed to go to the bathroom. Cole was sound asleep, breathing silently. I wished I had a better view of his sleepy head so I could keep it in my memory forever. I tried to get up careful not to wake him up. Last night had been long and I was still a little lightheaded. At last, I slipped from under hi
Chapter twenty-Seven Ivy Cole had to leave my room before anyone saw that he slept in; luckily, he could get out unnoticed. After he was gone, I hurried to shower and dress in casual blue denim and black shirt with matching sneakers and rushed to campus for the last day of studies before the final exams. With everything going on, I wasn't really well prepared for what was coming. Little I knew what was really waiting for me. I’ve spent a hectic day at NCU. Since the finals were ahead and I had only one lecture in the morning, I decided I would spend the afternoon at the library studying. I was just about to get out when my phone's screen lit; It was on silent mode ; I checked it and it was a text message From: Anna Still up for coffee at Jackson's? I'll be there by 5 see u. I checked the time and it was
Chapter Twenty-Eight AnnaEarlier today...About fifteen minuteshave passed after five and Ivy didn’t show up, I called her but she didn't pick up. She wasn't the girl who would come unless something happened. I messaged her way before five; so she had enough time to get here. Not picking up was not a thing she usually does either; I was starting to get impatient, I hated waiting more than anything in this world and Ivy knew that very wellI waited another long and interminable fifteen minutes before aiming for my phone. I was about to call her for again when her name flashed on my screen.At last !I thought inwardly I was about to start worrying when it was half past five and she did not show up at Jackson's."Where have you been?" Were the first words I said when I picked up her call;"Come to St
