" Leo." Hearing the voice all of them turned back. Adrian saw Mary, Leo's Mom standing there. Her face was gleaming with the excitement of meeting her son probably after months.Adrian shared a civilized relationship with him as he was their neighbor. Both of their mothers were friends for a long time.He recognized him as soon as he saw his face. For a moment he felt at ease realizing he was her uncle's son, but then an unsettling feeling was back as he remembered immediately they weren't blood-related. He was her father's friend's son. The realization only made him more restless even if possible.Her expression made it clear how much she was comfortable with them. The realization that he wasn't a part of her comfort circle made him clench his jaw. Generally, he loved to see her smile. The way her lips curl slightly upwards making her look even more radiant. But now her laughing felt like a thorn prickling his skin.He was standing there for a while but none of them even spared a g
Sunlight peeking through the curtain fell upon Adrian's face, disturbing his peaceful sleep.He stirred a little, blinking a couple of times as he tried to adjust his vision. Stretching both of his hands upwards he turned to his other side just to find an unfamiliar figure beside him, wrapped around the duvet.In a moment realization hit him like a truck. Jolting up he sat back straight. But suddenly felt someone was hammering inside his head. Clutching his hair with fingers he let out a loud groan to tolerate the unbearable pain. God hangover! What did he do last night? He dashed out of his home and went straight to the bar. Then he drank like it was the end of the world. The girl came to him, talked, and he left with her. Then?"Jane, wasn't she here? Was I just hallucinating? Shit! How drunk was I?" I didn't end up doing something he would regret, right? But why did it feel like she actually was here?" He couldn't even remember anything properly.Only the girl beside her can answe
Half lying on the couch Adrian was lost in his world. His face maintained a blank expression as he was staring into space. At a distance, his family was gossiping with each other and the sound of their laughter was filling the living room from time to time. Some of their words hit his ears but not his mind which was an absolute mess. However, he had no interest in their topic either." Do you want to go to the club today?" Hearing his best friend Adrian looked up. Samuel was standing in front of him, looking at him with curious eyes. " No," Adrian replied shortly." Of course." He snorted. He already got to know what happened last night. Adrian told him everything except the fact that he imagined her to be someone else. What could he have possibly said? That he was so angry after seeing her with that filth, he lost control over his mind? That he drank to a point when he started hallucinating her? Did these things happen when you were attracted to someone? Was infatuation meant
" I told you a couple of times that I don't like to be touched. How many more times do I have to repeat myself? " Jane asked him sternly. Careful so that her inner turmoil didn't get expressed.Listening to her words Adrian clenched his jaw and roughly yanked her wrist to come face to face with her. Encircling one of his arms around her waist he pressed her front with his. As soon as her soft petite frame came in contact with his stone hard one, she winced a little. With his other hand, Adrian held her jaw so tightly that her lips puckered out. " tsk! tsk! Such a double standard behavior my feisty cat! Wasn't you throwing yourself into that filth on every little chance you got? Then why are the rules only for me? Hmm?" Adrian whispered like talking to a kid. Jane was taken aback. She couldn't even make sense of anything that he was saying." What the hell are you talking about?!". She uttered those words with difficulty as the pressure on her jaw kept increasing. Adrian snickered
Jane flinched when she felt a hand on her shoulder. Turning back she heaved a sigh in relief seeing Leo standing in front of her. " Hey, are you ok? It's just me." Leo said, unsure of her sudden tensed behavior." Yeah, yeah I am good.". Jane smiled trying to act casually." So shall we dance, miss shorty?" Leo teased her to lighten her mood.Jane was about to agree to his proposal but then she realized the word he had used to address her." Why did you just say ?" She asked, raising one of her eyebrows, daring him to repeat.Leo chuckled and dragged her to the dance floor. Soon she joined her friends along with Leo and started vibing to the music." Oh by the way Leo I forgot to tell you Camilla called today". Jane said, keeping her gaze fixed on his face to see the reaction.For a moment she felt like his eyes twitched with some buried emotions but it was soon gone. " Oh really! What was that brat saying?" He forced a smile on his lips, trying to maintain his cool. But his eyes
" What do you want from me?" Jane asked, still processing what he just said." So eager to know huh? But why so hurry baby? The night is still young". Adrian teased her.Her puzzled expression made Adrian smirk internally. Standing straight he pulled her closer so that her body touched his torso. Jane quickly kept her hand on his chest to make some distance between them. Encircling his arm around her waist tightly Adrian chuckled at her futile attempt. Gripping her nape lightly he brought her face closer to his looking deep into her eyes." Oh, darlin'! I want to do so many things to you but trust me your little angel mind won't be able to take that. So we'll take it slow. Ok?" He whispered without even blinking to make her understand how serious he was but at the same time trying to be considerate.Her eyes looked at him like lava erupting from a volcano. " What else can be expected from a womanizer like you? Fucking pervert?" Jane hissed at him with the same contrasting intensity
Adrian quietly pulled the chair from Jane's desk and took a seat. His eyes roamed through the room out of curiosity. It's just the same since his last visit. Well, that was his first visit too. The memory of his small encounter with her in the kitchen made him genuinely smile. He couldn't believe that he only wanted to bed her for one night. It was surprising, almost terrifying for him to realize how deep his feelings had grown within some months. He still wanted to bed her, but for every night. He didn't think he would ever have enough of her. Probably he always wanted her like this, but his stubborn ego never let him admit his newly found feelings. Now She became as important as the air he breathes in.He wanted to propose to her the very next day of her birthday, but he decided against it. She was already very angry with him. She could have rejected him because of her stubbornness. So he was waiting for her anger to subside.She was not in a position to make a choice anymore. Will
Jane stirred as a loud sound disturbed her sleep. The sunlight already lightened up the room, invading the curtains of the glass windows. She squinted her eyes and placed her hands in the front to protect her eyes from the sharp sunlight. "Oh! It's morning already! But where was the noise coming from?" Turning to the other side to find the source she saw her cell phone, kept on the table. "Oh, Shit! It's my phone."Jane picked up the phone hurriedly."Hello." She received the call." Well good morning to you too princess. Rise and shine." Isabella said dramatically. Jane smiled, listening to her. " Have you checked your inbox? We don't have classes today. So what's your plan today?" Isabella asked, excited." No, I haven't yet. What happened suddenly?" Jane asked, frowning." I don't know. There are some unavoidable reasons. That's what they said. We got only one holiday. Be happy, girl." Isabella complained." Umm yeah you are right. I don't really have any plans. Auntie was a
