TALIA'S POV“Come on, talk to me. What happened between you and Maxton?” Zeke asked, even more curious. The moment I mentioned Maxton's name he grew even more curious and very uneasy. I drew in a deep breath searching for the right words to say, am I supposed to just admit the truth? To tell him something really did happen between Maxton and me?I have never been the type to lie in a relationship, but I didn’t know if I could bring myself to tell him what went down between Maxton and me. It didn’t seem like the kind of thing anyone would want to admit in a relationship.It was bad and I felt absolutely nothing but disgust in myself for lying.But the truth had to be told, it was the best thing to do in this situation.“You are not saying anything, Talia. Please, talk to me,” Zeke urged. I took another deep breath, forcing a nervous smile as I said“Actually, it’s nothing, Zeke. I promise. Nothing at all.” I paused for a while before saying, “what I am trying to say is, for our relati
TALIA'S POVGod, why now? Why the hell do I have to bump into him right now? How am I supposed to face him after everything that happened yesterday?My eyes dropped, taking him in with a single glance. He was HOT.No. “Hot” didn’t even cover it. He was breathtaking, from his head to his toes. I knew I wasn’t supposed to be noticing this or thinking about this now but I couldn’t help it, I just couldn’t. “Hey Talia!” he called, a small smirk on his face as he crossed his arms. “Did you take the medication already?”I felt painfully shy and embarrassed. Saying anything to him was a huge struggle. “Yes!” muttered in haste and raced off, not willing to stand in front of him for a minute longer. I could bet he was wondering what was wrong with me.I got to my room a few moments later, closing the door behind me. That wasn't enough though. I turned the lock just in case he might want to come see me, but I doubt he would. Still a girl can never be too safe can she? Zeke’s calls kept coming
TALIA'S POV“Oh, fuck…” I groaned, a strange headache yanking me out of -sleep. It felt so weird, like my head was being pulled out of my body. I immediately tried to sit up, but that only worsened things.I sprawled back on the bed, my eyes fixed on the ceiling as I rubbed my temples gently, in an attempt to calm down the headache that I was feeling. My eye sight was a bit unclear at first, probably due to the fact that I was just waking up but then it soon cleared. And then it hit me. Something felt… off.The faint, oddly masculine scent in the room. The way the place was styled wasn’t like my room. Wait, what the hell?I shot upright, ignoring the pain I was feeling in my skull. My eyes traveled around the room and that’s when I realized where the fuck I was.What in the world was I doing there?? In Maxton’s room!! I gasped in confusion, my heart pounding nonstop.I wasn’t just in his room, I was on his bed too! I pulled up the sheet that was covering my body and that was when I re
MAXTON'S POVI was completely taken aback by what was happening. Her lips pressing against mine felt both soft and warm, and the sensation was so nice that for a moment I wondered if I should just kiss her back. Even though I badly wanted to, I kept thinking maybe holding myself back was the right thing to do.But it was hard, painfully hard, and controlling myself was almost too difficult. This was already the second time she was kissing me on her own, and after hearing that heartfelt confession of hers, I didn’t even know how to think anymore. Hell, I didn’t even know how to function properly.“Talia…” I called out her name softly, pushing her back just a little. “You are not fine right now, I don’t think we should…”“I am fine, and I know exactly what I want…” she said as she placed her hand gently against my cheek. We locked eyes for a while, and God, I was so tempted to have her even though I knew fully well deep inside that I really shouldn’t.She was just too gorgeous, every fe
TALIA'S POVNothing felt real, absolutely nothing.I knew I was with Maxton, I knew I was sitting right in front of him, both of us holding eye contact, but still absolutely nothing made any sense.I was drunk, high, or whatever it was, I honestly couldn’t tell thanks to whatever I had taken back at that party.Honestly, why had I even taken so much of that drink? I had my sense but I didn’t at the same time. I wasn’t in control of anything, or whatever words found a way to slip out of my lips. Right now I was sure I was going to say something I might absolutely regret to Maxton, yet at that very moment I didn’t care much. The alcohol gave me a kind of confidence I knew for sure I would never have if I was actually in my right mind.This all felt strange though, like it wasn’t real, like I wasn’t even sure if it was some sort of dream. A hallucination? I couldn’t tell exactly which one it was.Maxton maintained eye contact with me, his face so close to mine as we kept staring into eac
MAXTON'S POV He paused, letting his words sink in like some kind of heavy stones. “We are over… if Maxton takes you home.”Talia stopped walking, freezing in place.. I could tell her mind was racing ,probably trying to figure out if she had actually heard him right. Her eyes flickered between disbelief and confusion, and then a small laugh escaped her lips. “You are joking, right?”“No. I am not joking,” he said, his voice loud and clear . “If you walk out that door with him, it is done. I mean it. I can’t… I won’t.”Her face turned serious, more serious than before . For a moment, she just stood there, her hands hanging limply at her sides. Her lips trembled as she bit down on her bottom lip, trying to hold back tears that threatened to roll down . Her eyes glistened red i, but there was no hesitation in what she said next.“Then you can consider it done. Let’s go, Maxton.”And just like that, she turned and walked toward the door. She didn’t wait for another word. Her heels clicked
