DAWN
I glance around, my eyes landing on Ryder who doesn't seem to be the least affected by what his father had just said whereas, I'm getting heater in all kind of wrong places.
“Dad, I think that's enough of making the poor girl uncomfortable. They are still very young, and I don't think neither are ready to go down that lane yet so calm down your nerves old man.”
I'm glad when Minerva says that, and she gives me a small smile which I mutter thank you to before grabbing my fork and staring at my food.
“Well, I guess that would do for now, but I will be asking more of that later ok, for now let's just have lunch.”
He smiles at me which I politely return before taking a sip of my water once again when I feel a hand on my thigh once again and judging by the way my body reacts to the touch immediately, along with the fact that Ryder is the only one within reach of my thigh to tou
RYDER. There's only little to which you can push someone, they say and for Dawn, maybe I had just pushed the young girl too hard. I shouldn't have snapped at her like that, I shouldn't have yelled at her or tell her to stay out of my damn business because don't want to be helped. I don't need her help to fight my demons, I've been in them for too long that there's nothing she can do about it.I've been consumed by then for too long that I've forgotten what it means to be free from them and I love every single moment of it.I stop the car, undoing my seatbelt before snapping my head to her, but she's out of the car before I could even say anything.Fuck you Ryder!I know I went too far this time, calling her a hypocrite. Reminding her of what she's doing to her friends and her family even though she's only doing it to help me. I'm the reason she's here right now, so far away from now and then, I had the balls
DAWN.Rolling on the bed, my eyes snaps open, and I let out a harsh breath as I stare at the blank ceiling for some minutes before sitting up on the bed and glancing at my side, my eyes narrowing at the clock. It's just a little past midnight.I let out a sigh, holding my head between my palms, sweating hardly and ruffling my hair in frustration. It's happening again, it's almost like I'm reliving that part of my life again. The nightmares are back, and although, they aren't as bad as before, they aren't good either. I can see their faces, taunting me for what I did to them. What I caused.Suddenly feeling thirsty, I move out of bed and walk downstairs towards the kitchen and everywhere is so quiet and peaceful. Not a single voice could be heard and as much as this is exactly what I've always been wanting, I can't help but to have a little fear at the back of my mind with the fact that I'm the only one in the big h
DAWN.I'm shock and surprise beyond words as his lips begins to move against mine while my eyes remains widen with my heat beating faster against my chest.What the hell is he doing. What the hell am I doing? He is kissing me? And what am I doing? I'm letting him do it?I pull back away from him with my eyes still widen, and he smirks down at me. That smirk that I want to badly wipe off his face.“What the hell are you doing?”I almost yell, and he chuckles before shrugging as if what he had just done is something funny.He thinks just kissing me is funny? This fucking asshole! He fucking thinks this is something to laugh about?“I kissed you cupcake, and don't try to deny that you wish I had continued. ”He has a smug smile across his lips, so sure of himself.“No I don't. ”I seethe, my tone hard as I glare at him through my eyes, and he crosses his arms over hi
RYDER.“Why exactly did she lose consciousness? Does she have media fright or something?”Minerva asks as I cross my arms over my chest, glancing at the girl whose eyes are closed and seem to be in her little world.I don't understand why she fainted either, she never mentioned anything about media fright or so, she seemed perfectly alright with it when we left this morning, except for the fact that she was nervous. Everything else was okay so her suddenly fainting appears as a shock to me.Of course even after she passed out, those stupid reporters didn't stop asking their stupid fucking questions. Even after seeing her like that, they carried on with the questions till I got to my car.I didn't think that it needs medical attendance, so I just brought her here.“I don't know. She didn't mention anything like that to me. “I sigh, kneading over my temple.
DAWN.“I'm glad that you decided to stay.”Minerva grins at me and I politely return the smile as the small girl runs towards me, almost making me trip, but I'm quick to retake my ground and clutch her in my arms, taking her up in the air.“How are you doing Emily?”I kiss her hair, and she giggles before wrapping her small arms around my neck, mimicking me and kissing my hair just like I did to hers.It's night already and Ryder said we could just stay here since his Dad wants us to stay here for the night anyways which I agreed to, knowing it will be only the two of us at home if we go back, with him disappearing through the night and only returning around dawn.About those disappearances that he always seem to be making, I do have it at the back of my mind to find out what's really going on.It isn't like
DAWN."Are you sure you're okay with that? There's more if you want. "Minerva questions as I pack the dishes, walking to the kitchen."Yeah, I'm okay with it. I'm afraid my tummy might as well go boom if I take any more than that. "I giggle, turning to stare at her at the table. She chuckles before nodding her head in understanding, and I turn back to the dishes."It's fine, you don't have to wash them. I mean it's late already, and you must be stressed. "She mutters as she walks towards me, and I shake my head in disagreement."No, I'm fine. I'm not at all stressed and there are only a few of these, I will be done in no time. "I flash her a smile, and she nods her head, patting my shoulder before jumping and sitting on the counter casually. Something I didn't expect, especially from Minerva."So how has it
DAWN.His gaze holds intensely onto mine, never for once wavering as my heart beats faster against my chest while I hold tightly into the country, mentally cursing for saying that."What do you want Dawn, again."He inquires, his hands now going to either side of the counter, resting gently above mine, making my skin tingles from the reaction to his touch as he cages me in, his huge body blanketing mine."You..."I whisper once again, never losing eye contact with him. My body wouldn't stop shaking, and I keep trying to get myself back to normal but those all seem far from been possible with the way his closeness is making me feel. Oh, the things he does to me."It's you."Saying this now make me remember his words from two days ago, he did say he would make me beg and although, this is nothing compared to begging, more like declaring or letting out something
DAWN.I'm breathing hard. Too harder than I should normally be, and you can say it's for the fact that something is crushing me, pinning me too deeply into the bed or rather, should I say someone?Muscular, good-looking, obviously have the strength of a thousand men with his famous signature smirk and oh, let's not forget he's an asshole? Yup, that's him. Ryder fucking Smith!He's fucking crushing me and when I mean he's crushing me, I don't mean he's just crushing me, like his whole entire weight is on me. His entire fucking weight and the ludicrous position that we are in right now makes it so hard to get him off.How we made it into this position we are in right now is something that seriously baffles me, and I'm absolutely confused about. Like the last time, if I do remember clearly, we went to bed with me in his arms and when I mean in his arms, I mean with me hugging myself to his chest a
