LynnHe walked out. Just like that. We all looked at his retreating back till he closed the door. I wished I had the confidence to also walk out because the drama that was about to ensue was something else. A man, his ex, and current girlfriend in one room was a bomb waiting to explode. If I was lucky, it would be detonated before that happened because I was not feeling like dragging dead bodies out of my room. I waited for the action to begin."So how are you finding my left overs?" Kari broke the silence. The question was clearly directed to Carina."What are you talking about, loser?" Carina released Ron's hand and stepped forward. She was wearing a white t-shirt and bright blue jeans. This was the most decent attire I had ever seen her in. I wondered if it was because of Ron. Had she also changed under his influence? Glancing at the guy in question made me even more confused because the only thing he seemed to have were average looks. I couldn’t see why these girls would be so ena
The warm water felt so refreshing to my tired and exhausted body. It was just midday but I'd done a lot of work already: Doing laundry and cleaning all the three rooms with Alec. We made sure that everything was in it's place. The reward we got from our hard work was having a clean and an organized apartment. It looked so cool and I couldn't wait to get out of the shower to enjoy the luxury.I hated cleaning, but loved the aftermath. Nothing feels better than having a nice, clean and organized room to relax in. Clean laundry also feels so good.Working with Alec had been a great experience. He offered to do the harder tasks which made me feel like a princess. Besides, those few hours made me know more about him, his family and friends. He was not very close with his family, but they had a decent relationship. He had a brother who was a missionary in Asia and they talked once every week. I was actually surprised that there was a decent man in that family, having met the two.Alec and h
The delivery guy.There he stood with the box of pizza in his hands. I heard Alec laughing and realization hit me. My excitement over food had made me run to the door without even asking for the money. Alec walked over with his wallet in hand and paid.I walked towards the table and put the box down, then continued to get plates as Alec headed to get drinks from the fridge.While we ate, we talked about random stuff like what was stressing us at the moment. Alec seemed quite off. He was not his very playful and cheerful self. He didn't state what exactly was bothering him when I inquired.After getting done, I got to my room to change. It was a hot day so I replaced my ripped jeans with a pair of black shorts, the T-shirt with a blue tank top. Alec had told me that we were going to a beach."You know you don't have to go with me if it's not really fine with you," I had told him as we ate because he didn't seem like he was that enthusiastic about it. I didn't want to be dropped at a be
He entered, pulled me inside the room and shut the door. I was still trying to process what was happening but suddenly he was on me. I was pushed against the door as his mouth crushed to mine. His hands seemed to be everywhere on my body at once. I grabbed his waist and held it tightly because my whole body ached for his closeness. He licked, teased and sucked every part of my mouth then turned to my neck sucking the soft flesh. Desire raced through my whole body and I didn't want him to stop."I've been wanting to do this for a very long time," he pulled away to breath and said with a huskier than normal voice. His intense look was so intimidating but I managed to stare back at him and nod with a small smile. I pulled him back closer because it was so cold and the warmth from his body is all I wanted. I kissed him, my hands moving up his neck to his hair. It felt so good running my hand through it.The feelings running through my body were frightening as I was led to the couch. We co
Jessie's POVI smiled when the familiar car pulled into the drive way. I turned on the camera app on my phone and focused it on the driver's side of the car, waiting for my dream boy to get out. He pushed the door open, stepped out and closed it. I had put the camera in burst mode so it kept snapping photos of him. She waited for his girlfriend to get out from the passengers side in vain before realizing it was her lucky day. For the first time in many weeks, the girl called Lynn wasn't with him. This was my only chance to speak to him.I rushed into my room, checked my face in front of the vanity, reapplied my bright red lipstick and ran out. I hurried along the hallway until I reached the landing. I watched Alec climb up the stairs, ear phones stuck in his ears. Alec stopped at the landing and leant against the railings near me. He acted like I was nonexistent, ignoring me as he tapped away on his phone. I moved closer to him."Hey," I smiled, tapping his shoulder. He smelled reall
Lynn's POVI slumped onto the couch, wishing I'd let Alec come with me. My family and I had just got back from James' funeral. James was my cousin, who'd lost his life in a car accident while driving home from work. It was a very tragic accident as he was so young and had graduated with a masters degree in Psychotherapy two months back. After many years of studying, he'd not lived long enough to enjoy the fruits of his hard work.Alex had wanted to come with me but I had insisted that Alec shouldn't go with me because I didn't want my family asking questions and lecturing to her about how I needed to first focus on my education. And considering who Alec was, I was sure my family wouldn't be excited about a union with him. Most people usually thought he was minutes away from cheating on me, something that bad boys were used to.MY mother occupied the space next to me as my sisters, Dana and Mindy sat on the couch opposite ours. I wished Alec was there to hold my hand and tell me everyt
Lynn’s POVI walked nervously into the yoga studio, taking in the cool atmosphere and soft music that filled the room. Unlike Jessie and Lauren, I had never attended a yoga class before, and was unsure of what to expect. The three of us had arrived together, all wearing comfortable clothing and eager to start the class. We had checked in with the receptionist and made our way to the designated room. I was silent while my new friends were chatting excitedly about the different poses and stretches they hoped to work on. I felt a bit out of place but knew that once I attended a few lessons, it would get easier.In the room, we found a sea of mats laid out on the floor, with a few people already in their weird yoga poses. The three of us quickly found a spot and set up our own mats, chatting and laughing as we got into position. Jessie had given me one of her older mats to use. If I ended up liking yoga, I would buy mine. I was not yet very sure about it.The instructor was a petite woman
LynnSince he didn’t bother to reply to my knock, I decided to open the door and find out what he was up to. I didn’t like going to bed sad and angry. I was not going to get any sleep if I did not work out our problems. The light was off and the room was fairly dark, with little light coming through the window. I could hear Alec’s breathing and I was pretty sure he was still awake. I climbed on the bed and snuggled close to him. I felt his body stiffen but he didn’t make a move. After lying there for some minutes, I sat up on the edge of the bed, staring at her Alec as he lay there with his eyes closed, and acting like he didn’t know I was there. I had tried to seduce him, by touching for the last half hour, but he seemed determined to ignore me.I leaned back on the bed and crossed my legs, hoping the movement would catch his attention. But he continued to sleep, not even opening his eyes. Frustrated, I huffed and sat up again. “Alec, I know you’re awake. I've been trying to get you
