My shift was over early, because Billy said he wouldn't be around on Wednesday, and wants me to cover up for him, hence, he was taking the rest of my today's shift and that of tomorrow.

I couldn't leave now though, because it was raining heavily and I didn't bring an umbrella to work today. Seated by the window with my reading glass on, my fingers typed fast against the keyboard of my laptop.

The ideas for my new book kept flowing in rapidly, and I typed in each words, conveying the emotions of

  • CRAVING THE BAD BOY   178 - Call it what you like.

    Ariana POVThe panic hit instantly. Not the dramatic kind from movies. Real panic. The cold kind that locks your chest and makes your heartbeat feel uneven. Reporters were downstairs. On our floor. And somebody had told them exactly where to find us. Nick stepped away from the window immediately before pulling his phone out again. “We need to move,” he said sharply.Ethan frowned. “Move where?”“Anywhere that isn’t directly above a media circus.”Honestly, he had a point. Voices echoed faintly from farther down the hallway now. The noise downstairs was growing louder every second, even through several hospital floors. People were definitely coming up. My stomach twisted painfully. “What about Laura?” I asked quickly.Nick’s expression tightened immediately. “She can’t deal with this right now.” None of us argued. Ethan ran a frustrated hand through his hair. “Okay, first question. How are they getting information this fast?”Nick looked furious again. “Because somebody near us keeps f

  • CRAVING THE BAD BOY   177 - Another mind game?

    Ariana POVThe air disappeared from my lungs the second Ethan finished speaking. If Laura’s family keeps investigating, they’ll release everything they have. The threat echoed heavily inside my head while panic slowly crept through my chest again. Nick grabbed Ethan’s phone immediately. “Who sent this?”Ethan shook his head once. “Fake account. No profile picture. No posts.”Nick’s expression darkened while staring at the screen. “They’re trying to scare us.”“Well, congratulations to them,” I muttered quietly. “It’s working.”Neither of them argued. The photo still glowed on the phone screen between us. Me and Nick outside his apartment. Too close. Too intimate looking. And terrifyingly private. “I don’t understand how they even got this,” I whispered.Ethan leaned against the wall beside us. “That picture was taken from far away. Whoever did it was watching intentionally.”Cold dread slid through my stomach instantly. Watching. Not guessing. Watching. Nick handed the phone back to E

  • CRAVING THE BAD BOY   176 - Dangerous games.

    Ariana POVThe second I saw Ethan standing at the end of the hallway, my stomach dropped hard. His eyes stayed locked on mine first. Then slowly shifted down to where Nick still held my hand.The tension in the hallway became instant. Sharp. Uncomfortable. Nick released my hand immediately before stepping slightly in front of me instinctively.Ethan noticed that too. A humorless laugh escaped him. “Well,” he muttered quietly. “That explains literally everything.”“Ethan,” I started carefully.But he shook his head once before looking directly at Nick. “So while Laura’s upstairs dealing with a pregnancy and public humiliation, you’re down here holding hands with Ariana?”Nick’s expression hardened instantly. “You don’t know the full situation.”“I know enough.”The anger in Ethan’s voice echoed slightly through the hallway. A nurse glanced toward us from nearby before continuing past. Apparently even hospitals could not escape drama tonight. Nick crossed his arms tightly. “You should l

  • CRAVING THE BAD BOY   175 - Twisted loyalty.

    Ariana POVThe hallway went completely silent after Laura’s confession. Somebody close to us was leaking information. Not strangers online. Not random students guessing. Someone near us. Nick stared at Laura like he was trying to process the words properly. “What do you mean someone in our friend group?”Laura crossed her arms tightly over herself before answering. “My father hired a private investigator after the first hospital leak.”I blinked immediately. “Your father hired a what?”Laura gave a tired nod. “He’s been trying to figure out who’s selling stories to those gossip pages.”That somehow made the entire situation feel even more insane. Nick looked frustrated again. “You should’ve told me earlier.”Laura laughed softly without humor. “Nick, the last twelve hours have been slightly chaotic.”Fair point. My mind immediately started racing through faces. Maya. Ethan. The football guys. Girls from campus parties. Anybody who had seen us together recently. Suddenly every interact

  • CRAVING THE BAD BOY   174 - Burning lies.

    Ariana POVThe second Nick said reporters were outside the hospital, panic swept through all three of us instantly. Laura looked exhausted already, but now genuine alarm crossed her face too. “You’re joking,” she whispered.Nick shook his head once. “Apparently somebody leaked where we are.”My stomach dropped immediately. Of course they did. Laura rubbed both hands over her face tiredly before muttering, “I hate people.”“That makes two of us,” Nick replied.Honestly, probably three. The hallway suddenly felt smaller than before. Too bright. Too exposed. I glanced toward the nearby windows instinctively, half expecting cameras to already be pressed against the glass. “How many reporters?” Laura asked quietly.Nick looked down at his phone again. “My dad said two entertainment blogs posted about your hospital admission twenty minutes ago.”Laura let out a hollow laugh. “Entertainment. Right.” The bitterness in her voice hurt to hear. Because this was not entertainment. It was her act

  • CRAVING THE BAD BOY   173 - No turning back.

    Ariana POVThe moment Laura mentioned her father, the entire mood in the hallway shifted again. Nick’s expression hardened instantly. Not fear exactly. Something worse. Resignation. Laura noticed it too. “That look on your face is exactly why I didn’t want to tell you tonight,” she muttered softly.Nick rubbed a tired hand over his face before asking quietly, “When did he find out?” “This morning.”My stomach tightened immediately.That meant everything had happened before Laura collapsed. Before the hospital. Before any of us had the chance to breathe. “And?” Nick asked carefully.Laura laughed softly without humor. “And he reacted exactly how you think he did.” Silence followed. Even I could feel the tension around his name now, and I had never even met the man.Laura leaned back against the wall again, exhaustion visible all over her face. “He wants me home after I’m discharged.”Nick frowned slightly. “Home as in your parents’ house?”She nodded once. “And he wants to handle ever

  • CRAVING THE BAD BOY   47 - So where does that leave us?

    The words hung in the air, surprising me as much as him. There were bigger issues to address, but that question tumbled out first. And suddenly, I needed to hear his answer.He fell silent, thoughtful, as though weighing the question before answering. "Once," he said after a pause. "In my sophomore

  • CRAVING THE BAD BOY   46 - No more sex.

    "Why did you stop?" He grumbled, brows furrowing as hands immediately began clutching at my side to bring me back to him, but I refused to give in."I won't have sex with you Nick," I said, without any conviction in my voice. "That's the genesis of all our problems." "I didn't want to fuck you." M

  • CRAVING THE BAD BOY   45 - The problem is sex.

    I narrowed my eyes slightly. "We haven't spoken in exactly three weeks and now you want us to be civil?"He shrugged, his expression dimmed. "But we can be civil, can't we?""You're sexually attracted to me?" I challenged, the corner of my mouth tilting up.I expected him to swiftly deny it, but he

    Sofia and I decided to have a sleepover at her house since we haven't had one of those in a while and it was also the only way of getting Nick out of my head. We decided to watch a marathon of sisters because it's the only show we could agree on watching. Sofia popped down next to me on her comf
