Chapter 8

Author: Elora Faye
"Why did you bring Cody with you?" I asked Mick, giving him a pointed look. My lips were drawn in a tight line.

Mick just shrugged. "I thought you were the one who said you owed him a meal anytime."

I'd totally forgotten about that. I had to repay him for his favor, of course.

"Any place you'd like to go to for dinner?" I asked with a small smile.

"Your call. I'm fine with anything," Cody replied, smiling brightly at me.

However, while we sat down for pizza, Cody wouldn't stop staring at me. It was like he was burning a hole through my head with his eyes.

Mick excused himself as quickly as he could, and I felt a little restless after that.

"You seem busy. Why aren't you picking up your phone?" Cody asked, inching closer to me.

His hot breath was right up against my ear, and he smelled fresh and citrusy like a lemon.

"I just wanted to explain… about last time."

"It's fine. I was just trying to make a new friend," Cody replied.

I sighed in relief. Cody was easy to hang out wit

  • He Stole My Girlfriends… Then Stole My Heart   Chapter 10

    I was so shocked that I forgot to greet him properly.Kai was sitting at his desk, wearing a tailored suit and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses that made him look like a cold, heartless person.I hadn't seen him in years. And now, my ex-boyfriend was my new boss, and my paycheck was completely in his hands.I lowered my head and gave myself a good look. I looked like a typical corporate drone, having to smile and bend over backward for top management.Kai glanced at me, a hint of mockery in his eyes. "You're still like this even though it's been years since our breakup."But life had been punching me in the gut back then. I never had the chance to fight back in the first place.He lowered his head and started signing papers. I didn't dare to say a word because I was afraid of getting fired. So, I ended up standing in his office for the entire day. This was his form of revenge. This couldn't possibly be anything other than that.My colleagues' looks of envy eventually turned into

    Antonio's face was stern, but he smiled subtly at me."Hey, Aiden. It's been a while. How have you been?""I've been alright," I answered.Antonio sat down on the couch and said, "Kai's stubborn. I'm here today to get you to convince him to come back. He's my best right-hand man, you see, and I don't want him to think that he's… not straight."He added, "You understand what I'm trying to say, don't you?""I can't do much to change his mind, Antonio. You—""Aiden," he said, cutting me off. "I helped you when your family ran into trouble back then. Now, it's time to return the favor. You shouldn't be encouraging Kai to do things he shouldn't be doing."He wasn't wrong. Antonio had indeed helped me out when my family went bankrupt.But now, even though I was independent and could talk back to him, I had no leverage. I was a nobody. Even when going out on dates, Kai was the one spending all the money and treating me to nice things. And of course, his money came from the gang.Ther

    That night, I dreamed of the streets in Wooklyn back when we were still kids.Kai was still new to the area and rarely ever spoke. I thought he was just acting cool.I caught a stray dog and tried to get it to go after Kai to tease him. However, the dog turned on me and went berserk, biting me in the butt instead.Kai immediately rushed over and grabbed a branch to chase it away. He managed to pry the dog's teeth from my butt, but in doing that, he got bitten on his leg and bled everywhere. He ended up needing stitches.I cried as I grabbed his hands in mine. "You can't die! I promise I won't bother you anymore!"Kai just chuckled and said, "I won't die. I like it when you bother me. I'll always protect you in the future."I couldn't believe that he still remembered that stupid promise he made such a long time ago.I woke up from the heat, covered in sweat.Kai's arm was draped around my waist. I carefully moved it aside, but it woke him up. He narrowed his eyes as he sat up, p

    Kai? Liking me?What nonsense was this? He probably hated my guts!Even if he gave me a hickey, it was simply a form of revenge to get between me and Cody!I bet he'd already had his eyes on Cody. Luckily, I'd told Cody to be careful and not appear out of campus if he could help it.Still, I felt a surge of bitterness arising in me whenever I thought about Mia, Kai's childhood friend. She was a cute little thing with boobs so huge men wanted to bury themselves in them.That night, Kai's face kept haunting me in my dreams, his eyes so fiery and intense that they bore a hole through my skull. I tossed and turned all night long, unable to sleep.When I got up for a drink of water, I realized that my old baseball cap was gone. No wonder I couldn't sleep. I could never sleep well without it.I shook Mick awake. He just groaned impatiently and mumbled, "Kai took it. He said it was your birthday present to him."That bastard. I couldn't believe that he'd even want to steal a smelly ol

    It had to be Kai!I'd let him stay the night out of the kindness of my heart, and yet, this was how he repaid me?No wonder my neck had felt a little ticklish sometime last night, as if I'd gotten bitten by a bug.Bastard!Disgusted, I hurriedly washed that part of my neck with soap and water.I bet Kai must have been a dog in his past life. How could he still be such a pervert and bite me when he was still drunk out of his mind?The more I thought about it, the angrier I felt. So, I grabbed a hoodie, pulled it over my head, and set off to find him. I was going to get even with him!However, I never expected to walk into Kai breaking up with Liesel outside the pizza shop as soon as I turned the corner.Liesel was begging him not to break up with her, but he just looked unbothered.That bastard! How could he steal them away then treat them like shit afterward? Liesel was well-known as the prettiest student in the community college. I'd spent months trying to pursue her before
