"You don't want anything?", I questioned, sliding my palm down his abdomen and stopping at his hipbone with a teasing grin. Nathan chuckled, drawing me closer to his bare chest but didn't stop the movements of my hands.
"I do but do you have the energy? I could just jerk off in the bathroom," I shook my head, shifting to a more accessible and comfortable position, a little up on the bed.
"With me in the room next to you? Yeah no," he giggled, rubbing my waist up and down in a comforting motion before moving the same hand under his jersey and snapping the back of my bra open. I gasped, eyes wide in surprise as he tugged it off from under the fabric.
"Continue," he said in one breath, dipping his head low in between the valley of my breasts with a sly grin. I giggled at the ticklish feelings of his very light stubble and he cupped the flesh on my chest before rolling the hardened beads between his thumb causing me to arch my back further into his
"Mr. Kim, how can you say it so easily?", I scoffed in disbelief, arms crossed across my chest as I stood two stairs above him, almost eyes level. "Just like that? You'll forget it?""Sophie, you're misunderstanding me. My point is clear, I'm not ready for a serious relationship yet and I've told you before too. You can label this as whatever but I don't want to give you any hope at all. If you want me to stop touching you, I will stop."I stared at him, right through the blur that my tears caused under my lashes and Mr. Kim moved forward before cupping my face in his hands. I sobbed silently, nausea running up my toes and right into my head but at the same time, the abstract pain was so bitter-sweet with his warm palms and eyes that spoke a different truth to me.He wiped my tears with the pads of his thumb and I gave in, stumbling forward into his chest even after knowing that my giving in was what got me here. "You're looking for love in the
I got onto a bus that'd take me nearest to his place and farthest from Mr. Kim's place."Could you please scoot over?", I tossed a graceful smile to the lady sitting in the last seat of the bus by the window and when she nodded, I slid onto the leather seats with a tired sigh. Her fingers were slightly wrinkled and skinny but beautiful, to say the least along with the dreamy glow in her eyes that almost closed with her smile."Long day dear?", her voice was gentle and comforting and a small pat was delivered to my denim-clad thigh before I softly smiled at her and nodded as confirmation."Nothing I'm not used to," she then proceeded to smile softly with a chuckle and I felt a little lighter with the stranger accompanying me."You look like you could use a good listener darling," I smiled at that and watched her wiser eyes lift up in a smile that mirrored mine."Lover's quarrel Ma'am, just not used to them," I laughed and she gently pushed my
"Yeah, I always have. You need to pick a side. Either you go back to him, get tossed around or you stay with me and I'll keep you happy forever," he chuckled, running a hand through my hair as he shifted comfortably into the soft cushioned couch.I sighed, mouth dry as I thought of all the possibilities that I could see in my future. Maybe I could stay back here with Sam, find another job or work with him, learn to fall in love with him or maybe I could go back to Nathan, confess, ask him to stay, and make him fall in love.The first one was a certainty, I could definitely fall for a man as beautiful as Sam. I'm sure a lot of people must've done it before too, dated their friends and ended up having a pretty life and the second one was risky, there was no assurance and it most probably could end up in a lot of chaos.Whatever it was and no matter how good Sam could treat me, he could never behim.Nobody could be him."I don't t
"So, what do you think?", Sam asked, turning around in a circle to show me his new three-piece suit while I was perched upon the bed of his guest room, eyes fixated on my phone that lied beside me in the bed. "Sophie! Don't wait on him to call!""What?", I asked, eyes bored as I stared at him. This had been going on for a while since Sam just couldn't get enough of showing me his new clothes and my replying with the same 'looks good' after the first few. "I've seen all your clothes, went to the movies, spent over two days in your house and nobody gives a fuck about my whereabouts. I didn't even plan anything for so long.""Well, did you not tell Nathan not to call you 'ever' again?", he squinted at me again, hands placed on his hips as he emphasized on the word 'ever'.
"Go away," he mumbled angrily from the other side, tone very slurry and jumbled up. I sighed, placing my ear right against the wood of it but I could only hear slight whimpers."It's me," I said quietly which was followed by loud gasps and a lot of sounds. "Open up Mr. Kim."Was he hiding something in there? Drugs? I sighed and knocked again."No! I w-want to be alone," Another grunt left me at his empty protests and I rummaged through my mind for the correct words to tell him at the moment. "You should go back.""I'm here to talk to you sir, I'm not going anywhere before I get to do it, okay?", I hummed in question, doing another round of rapid knocking against his door before pulling out the large jumbled punch of keys f
"Mr. Min? What's up?", I questioned, hands interlocked behind my back. He turned around and I noticed a small metallic flask that he immediately pushed back into the inner pocket of his jacket at the sight of me. Shaking his head dismissively, he used his right hand to gesture to the place next to him and I took generous steps forward till I was standing beside him."Hey," he cleared his throat and turned towards my side, leaning with one elbow on the railing. Mr. Min was a handsome man, both in his mannerisms and in the ring itself. "So, how well did you take what happened just now?", Jae laughed in a gentle undertone at my confused expression before repeating himself. "Did you understand what happened or not Soph?""I-I did but I'm not sure if my observations or even my conclusion is correct. I mean I could be overthinking this," I sighed, placing both elbows on top like him before dropping my head in the middle of them. "What do you think? You looked lik
"No," I stated, voice loud and clear causing him to close his eyes with a gulp that echoed through both of us at the same time. "I will never be embarrassed of you.""Yeah right," he chuckled, a sarcastic and sardonic one that caused me to pull away from him and scoff back. "Sophie, you don't have to say it for the sake of saying it.""Excuse me?", I gasped, his words pricking my skin because what the fuck?"Yeah, I mean-""Fuck what you mean Mr. Kim, I've been beside you in everything and always will be! What made you think I was embarrassed of you? It's about that bitch Teressa, isn't it?", I spat, angrily yanking the jacket from his hold and putting it on without another thought given.
"Mr. Kim, I-I really didn't mean it like that," Josh whispered, awkwardly shifting his weight from one foot to the other while waiting for us to pull away from each other. "I'm sorry."Nathan only nodded before trying to walk away but I held his arm back with a glare. "Jo, let's go, we have a lot to talk about," I said gesturing to the living room and he nodded, a little concerned but moved nonetheless, leaving me alone with Mr. Kim."Sophie, why?", I shrugged in response to his question and he followed me to the kitchen trying to minimize his interaction with the other boys. Jimin wasn't in the kitchen anymore and I figured it was because he knew I wasn't in the living room either.To Mr. Kim, it was obvious that they thought of him as a freak but that was only in his mind, nothing else. I understood his agony, his conflict but he had to face it someday."Why don't you set the table with Josh, Mr. Kim?", I asked stirring the huge pot of
