I run my hand through my hair as we leave the third bar. Where is he?
As Kai and I rush back to his car, he points up the road. “The next place is a little distance up this way. I think that is the place you said Alex owns a hotel close by. Let’s hope we get lucky and find him before he does something really stupid.”
My heart aches as I nod. “Yeah. Let’s try there.”
I still can’t believe I have gotten myself into this situation. How could I have even let that witch Bridget kiss my cheek? I was even dumber, though, for letting her kiss my lips. Those are reserved for Alex only. No one else is going to touch them ever again.
As we zoom down the road, Kai tentatively asks, “Do you think we should call Paul and Chance to come help look for him? They might know where he has gone.”
At this point, I’m willing to try any
My head throbs as I slowly open my eyes and glance around the room. A sense of relief washes over me as I quickly recognize my penthouse apartment.The events from yesterday flashes through my mind and my relief soon vanishes into thin air as a wave of panic shoots through me.Did I do anything with that woman? I don’t know what she looks like. I don’t even know her name.How could I be so stupid?Plus, I never bring a one-night stand to my place, even if it isn’t where I’m staying at the moment.I slowly look to my side, trying not to move in case I’m not alone. I exhale in relief when I find the bed empty. However, when I turn back toward my nightstand, another wave of panic washes over me as my eyes land on a glass of water and a couple of pills.No. Please tell me that woman isn’t here.As I move slightly under the covers, a
With David right beside me, I walk into the bar and scan the area. I quickly spot our group of friends in the back corner.A wide grin spreads across my face when my eyes land on Chance, who flashes me back a cheesy grin and motions for us to come over.David leans towards me and whispers, “I can tell he already thinks he has won. I can’t wait to see what he is going to do when he finds out he didn’t.”My grin morphs into a smirk as I nod. “Well, we will soon find out.”With my head held high, we walk through the crowd to the table. As I sit down across from Chance, I grab one bottle of beer from the center of the table.Before I can even take a drink, Chance huffs, “Are you ready to give me your keys? You know you can’t avoid it.”A soft chuckle spills from me and David as I shrug my shoulders and take a drink of beer.Kai, sit
Chance glares at me from across the table while his nostrils flare. His eyes boring holes right through me while steam rolls off him in waves and slams against me. Our eyes lock and we instantly fall into a silent battle. I will not back down.I keep my brilliant smile directed at him, while he returns it by shooting daggers at me with his eyes.Our battle of wills continues on in silence for a few minutes before he finally grunts and suddenly marches off towards the front of the bar. But first, he kicks the chair, laying on the floor behind him, off to the side.What the heck?I stare at his back as he disappears through the sea of people. I fight back the urge to celebrate as my victory is damped by the impending cold war which I know is coming next.My smile fades after a few seconds before I whip around towards Kai. “You better go follow him. You never know what he is goi
My eyes wonder ahead of me to Alex as he talks with Paul and Chance on our way to his class. My gorgeous boyfriend is getting better at walking with his crutches, but he still stubbles from time to time.A faint smile adorns my face as my eyes take in Alex’s tone body. However, there is also a heaviness in my chest which I can’t quite place. I think it has something to do with my mom’s birthday party, but I’m not sure.Alex seems a little off since the other night at the bar.I can understand his hesitation, though. I remember the social event when I met his parents for the first time. However, anger soon took over me, as his parents were nothing but rude and arrogant. I’m also thankful Brandon’s father was there and could defuse the situation rather quickly.Luckily, my baby doesn’t have to worry about something like that happening with my parents.
I stand next to the engineering building, and my feet are anchored to the ground as anger washes over me.How dare he act like this.Chance’s question has sliced right through the air and caught Kai off guard. Silence engulfs the area as all eyes are on us.Kai’s previous proud stance with his chest puffed out has evaporated within seconds, along with his triumphant smile, which has now morphed into a frown. His eyes lock next to me on my fuming friend as a low growl spills from Chance’s snarling lips.Even Brandon and Paul take a step back as Chance’s face turns bright red and steam rolls off him.I don’t have to look beside to me. I know what is going to happen next.His heavy grunts and the low growl tell me all I need to know.I take a step back as Paul quickly pulls me further out of range.I look down the side of the building at Davi
I’m still a little disappointed I didn’t get to see a catfight. I would bet the engineering girls would have pummeled the witch pretty good.I really want to see her eat her own words. It is only right after what she has done to Kai and Chance.Buzz.While leaning against the wall, I pull my phone out of my pocket and glance down at it. My heart aches reading Paul’s message. They have gotten Chance back to his room, but he is a total mess. I quickly type a reply and let him know the girl almost got her butt kicked by some female hazers.I glance up and look across the room at Kai. He hasn’t moved since we got him back into his bedroom. As soon as he walked in, he climbed on his bed and curled up into a ball. He has said nothing since we left campus. The only sounds he makes now are a few sniffles and some soft sobs from time to time.I want to make
Well, my plan didn’t work as well as what I thought it would. It did finally work, though, but it took us most of the week to wear Chance down, so he would forgive Kai.To say the week has been pure chaos would be an understatement. However, one upside with running around like a crazy man and not having a minute to worry about anything else is I also haven’t had a chance to think about going home with David for his mother’s birthday party.Unfortunately, I’m making up for the entire week of worrying and doubting myself on the drive to his parents’ house.I take another deep breath as I continue to stare out the window. The scenery blurs by as my mind wonders what will happen this weekend. Will it be as easy as David says? We show up and everyone falls in love with me.Hey, I don’t even believe that.My foot bounces while my fingers fidget with the seam a
I can’t hold back my smile as David’s mother piles more food onto my plate. Memories from when my grandparents were alive keep flashing through my mind.This feels so much like them and like home.I have missed this feeling ever since they have passed away. I honestly thought I would never get this feeling back again.My cheeks ache as I smile even wider as the woman sets the bowl of food down. “Alex, do you want anything else? Are you going to have enough to eat? I could make you something else if you don’t like anything here.”David chuckles beside me. “Mom. Stop it. Let him eat what you have already put on his plate. I’m sure he will have enough to eat, so stop worrying.”His father, who is sitting at the head of the table, sighs and looks at his wife. “Dear, you just met the boy. Stop trying to smother him.&n
