Chapter 18 - That weird supernatural guy. ~~~ "You did WHAT?" I winced as my mother's voice rang into my ears, bounced off the walls, and echoed in my ears again. Colton flinched too but didn't let it show. He was desperately trying to stay strong but he was miserably failing. My mother looked like the Satan herself, red in the face with anger, eyes narrowed furiously, fists cleaned and lips in a straight deviously disarming smile. Now only if someone gave her horns and a tail. "You, Racheal Amy Smith are grounded until I say you are not." She pointed at me. "Which means no phones, or novels or partying or meeting anyone outside who isn't blood-related, I don't care if some person is on death bed and their last wish is to see you. You will go to school and come directly back home. One step off the designated road and I'll tie you in the largest laundry basket and then dump you in a river myself. No regrets." She then pointed at Colton. "As for you Colton whatever Hastings, I will
Ayye, you ready? Are you ready!?? -- Chapter 19 - You can hold it if you want. ~~~ Saturday was a beautiful day. And I woke up with a huge grin on my face. Not. Instead, I was woken up by my annoying brother who was playing 'Turn down for what' at the highest volume, I bet people in Africa could hear it. I was surprised our neighbors, a couple of 40-something hadn't banged on our doors threatening to kill us if we didn't stop the racket. They were completely against technology or any new trend, they would be good Luddites. I pulled a pillow over my ear, groaning lightly. "Joseph turns down that damn volume" I shouted, my voice drowning in the song. I gritted my teeth, this is definitely not a good way to wake up that too on a holiday. "Mom, tell Josh to shut up!" After receiving no reply and the song continuing to play at the highest volume, I stood up furiously. "MOM!" No reply. "Mother! Ma! Amma! Mummy! Momma! MOM!! Omma!" I stamped downstairs angrily. I could only imagine
Congratulations on reaching chapter 20! Give yourself a cookie now! Chapter 20 - Whoa guys keep it PG-13! ~~~ "Oh." Was the only thing that could manage to escape my breath until something called sense kicked in. "But we haven't even kissed yet." His smirk widened. "I think we can sort that out." And without giving my brain to comprehend his sentence and react to it in a sensible manner, he picked the cooler way out. He kissed me. Finally. And I responded. Willingly. It took me barely two seconds to respond to his lusciously soft lips. The kiss wasn't rough and dominating, in fact, it was sweet, gentle, and extremely opposite to what I had expected from Colton. I felt my toes curl as the sand seeped between them, arousing me even more. At that moment I experienced lust rip through my body higher than Rebecca Black's voice breaking through my ears. I gently lifted my hand and rested it on his chest and that was when everything changed. His kiss turned from gentle to rough and
Chapter 21 - Your phone is not a Transformer. ~~~ "I am never ever drinking again." Eva mumbled from beside me as she struggled to stand on her feet. I giggled at her. "Me too." "Me three." Simone groaned. She had consumed way too much alcohol, even more than us, and seemed to be in regret mode now. Ira, the only mildly drunk one rolled her eyes. "Go on, why don't you challenge the guys in another drinking challenge?" I scowled as I remembered the challenge and how pathetically we had lost. After 30 minutes into the party, Alex and his friend whose name I don't even remember now, challenged us to drink alcohol. Of course, none of the girls agreed until Drew rolled his eyes saying 'Girls are such losers'. And that did it. It soon became girls versus guys. We were 7 girls and there were about 10 guys. Ira was sensible enough to excuse herself saying she needed to take a dump. But now we all were drunk above the neck and definitely over our capacity, I could swear I see two Simone
Chapter 22 - I just can't imagine you dating him. ~~~ "I am never drinking again." "You said that the last time." "I mean it this time." "You said that too last time." "Shut up Ira, you aren't helping." Eva grumbled. "I didn't tell you to drink this much." Ira retorted in a cherry tone. "You said that the last time." Eva retorted back, clearly annoyed with the twin sister's tormenting. "I am never drinking again." "You said that the last time." "I mean it this time." "You said that too last time." "Shut up Ira, you aren't helping." Eva grumbled. "I didn't tell you to drink this much." Ira retorted in a cherry tone. "You said that the last time." Eva retorted back, clearly annoyed with the twin sister's tormenting. Sighing I opened my eyes as I felt movement to my left, grunting and blinking as the light entered them for what seemed like after years. "I feel like I'm dying." Simone groaned from somewhere around us. I just wanted to close my eyes and kill the mental guy
It's so hard to write a courtroom scene when you have never been in one. But movies sure do help :P Chapter 23 - Define sophisticated stripper. ~~~ The courtroom was packed. Not only was this case a high shot one but was also fought by the best district attorney, Mr. Liam Morgan. The media was in a frenzy because my mother had sneakily let out the rumor that the case would be wrapped up in a day - today. No one except the people related to the case were permitted inside the courtroom, especially the media was prohibited and ordered to be kept on a tight leash but right outside the gates all guards were having a hard time preventing the crazy reporters from fighting their way in. The three of us sat on the third bench. Colton on my right side and Josh on the left. We had asked mom politely if we could attend this court session and she had said a flat capital NO until Josh grew annoyed and said it was because of us that she found a major clue and swore he would dive under a car if sh
NEW! New! new! Who else is excited for this one now? -- Chapter 24 - One last time. ~~~ "I think..." "Don't." "Can you just-" "No." "Racheal just-" "No." "How can you be so annoying?" Drew screamed in annoyance, throwing his hand in the air. I grinned, waving my hand dismissively. "Talent, duh." He rolled his eyes. "I am just letting you go this time because it's the last day of your fake relationship." My smile vanished instantly. "Thanks for reminding." I scorned. "Hon." Ira started and I knew it would something that I couldn't agree on. "If you like him so much, why don't you just tell him?" "And get rejected?" I snorted, twisting my lips. "No thanks." Ira rolled her eyes. "Take a leap of faith Rach." I gave her a stink eye. "Look who's talking." She leaned back in mild shock. "Hey I'm dating a player, I think that's a big enough leap for me." Drew scowled at his official girlfriend of 4 days. "I'm not a player anymore." Ira rolled her eyes again. "Tell that wh
New chapter. Naughty scenes. You have been warned. There are kisses and then some more intimacy! And then a twist... obviously. Chapter 25 - No more interruptions. ~~~ I pressed my lips together, remembering the kisses all too vividly. "And kisses." I agreed and continued. "But I am sure there's going to be candles, a blanket, a food basket, and of course the sunset. You know the typical." His lips formed a smug smile as we walked on the beach now. "Challenge accepted, the loser does whatever the winner wants." Before I could retort, his hand squeezed my waist, "Come on are you scared of a little losing, loser Smith?" My lips formed a straight line, "Fine, you loser Hastings." I lost, badly. Because although there was a beautiful sunset, there was no food basket or a blanket and most certainly not a single candle. I stared at the scene with a dropped jaw and a mix of emotions, partly I was ecstatic that Colton had actually thought of this but partly I was dejected that I l
