Chapter Seventeen
Cole
I was on my way to the party at NCU when I heard someone screaming, the noise came from the other side so I went to check it out. I opened the door and it led me to the dorm rooms, I heard another noise so I slowly went up the stairs where I found someone's door open only then Sarah came from nowhere...
"Hey baby" she smirked.
"Sarah, what are you doing here?" I asked; surprised she was here in the first place, she wasn't an NCU student.
I heard a muffled noise but she pushed me into the room
"Well, well, well! Look at you! So handsome and sexy in this shirt" She said her flirtatious mode on
"What the hell are you doing?” she was up to something, I was almost sure but she shushed me, touching my lips with her long fake nails.
I stepped back, my back reaching the wall to my utter dismay
<Chapter EighteenIvyAfter finding Anna's phone, I went back to take some rest without saying much about last night. Cole called me non-stop the entire day but I never answered and when I arrived at my room, I found more missed calls from him. I looked at my phone bitterly and threw it on the bed. I did not want to deal with him right now. Especially after seeing him kissing his exIf it wasn’t because of them, I wasn't probably going to drown myself in alcohol and wake up sick this morning. If it weren’t because of him I wouldn't be feeling like crap right now. I held back a groan. I stripped off my clothes and changed into an oversized tee shirt that fell over my left shoulder. It was long enough to cover my hips and it felt comfortable to sleep in since it was practically summer time. I heard a small knock on the d
Chapter NineteenColeI can't believe I had just closed the door of Ivy's room behind me and walked away , I don’t even recall how I got inside my car and I‘ve been driving for quite some time now, so I parked aside because I needed to breathe.God, how could I? I still can't believe how I could resist; I don't even know how much more I can take.I was supposed to talk to her not kiss her! I shut my eyes close for while; my hands on the steering wheel. I was unsure thatshe would open that door. But when she did, I forgot all I was about to tell her.She was wearing a shirt, how am I supposed to focus, if she's half naked and sexy and hot as hell? With every curve of her body under that shirt, the way her long dark hair fell on the bare shoulder, her intoxicating lilac scent, her eyes,
Chapter TwentyCole"No!""You're an idiot! You should have slept with her" Brad shook his head in disapproval; I was taken aback. "Wow, what is wrong with you?" "No, what is wrong with you?" He seemed convinced that something was wrong with me"She's practically like your little sister; Jeez! I shook my head in disbelief""Yeah and you have a crush on her and If you slept with her you wouldn't be here drinking” was his platonic answer"Remind again me why I am friends with you?" I let out"Because I'm awesome, Now shut up and tell me why you didn't sleep with her, man she's hot you like her and she likes you " He went on, almost as if debating over the color of my favorite tee-shirt."You're unbelievable!" I shook my head. That was the last thing I expected Brad to say. He says stupid stuff sometimes; but
Chapter Twenty-One Ivy Sunbeams made their way through the transparent curtain of my window, and I buried my face under the sheets, not feeling ready to leave my bed just yet. I muffled a groan. I'm not a morning person, not today. I spent a shitty night and I did not want to face the world today. I wished I could just curl in my bed and never leave. The alarm of my phone goes on at exactly 07:00 am. Great ! I got off my bed, took a quick shower and dressed up before going to campus. On my way there, I noticed I forgot my earphones. Great! I stopped by the cafeteria to grab my usual tea for breakfast and while I was waiting at the queue I heard an annoying voice to my right and I rolled my eyes instantly before turning to face him. "Good morning your majesty" Eric bowed in my direction, always the same irrita
Chapter Twenty-TwoIvy"The Golden plate, at noon? I'll pick you up from class at half past eleven" "No need, I'll be there at noon""As you like Princess" Eric said the most radiating smile on his face. I literally forced myself to smile. I wished I could die then.****"You did what?" Anna growled, her emerald eyes darkened with anger. I winced at the deadly tone of her voice"Are you out of your mind?" She added, outraged."You accepted the invitation of that scumbag of Eric for lunch; seriously tell me what is wrong with you? What the hell Ivy?" Yeah... about that, she had a point, that wasn't exactly the way it was supposed to be"Seriously!"
Chapter Twenty-ThreeIvyI froze to my spot. A chill run through my spine as he took a seat and looked towards me. No doubt, It was him. Cole was sitting at our previous table facing who appears to be a man in a black suit.I didn't see him coming! How did he..?"Something's the matter princess?" Eric's voice wondered and I had to keep it cool. I instantly looked back at him."No, nothing I'm just hungry" I faked a smile And he totally went for it."The Food will be here soon" He smiled at meAnd hopefully it did. The waitress came with the food order.It gave me a reason not to speak for a while and also not to stare at Mr. Gun eyes sitting across from me.In his perfect silver buttoned shirt that fit him to perfection. Revealing just enough shape of his muscled arms. He casually held his glass to his lips once again. I looked at my dish abse
Chapter Twenty-FourIvyI was not really hungry so all I did was play with the food placed in front of me. Eric was enjoying his meal and he would engage in small talk but I was somehow short on the responses. Trying as much as possible to stay calm and in control of the feelings I had inside of me. I felt suffocating when I talked to the man in front of me while the last breath of fresh air I needed was between Cole's lips .Luckily, Anna called on time. And although Eric insisted on driving me back to my place I managed to convince him not to and he did not push it. He paid the bill and escorted me silently out of The Golden Plate restaurant. Cole was still seated at the table when we walk passed him. He had been busy with the person he was with . The man in the black suit seemed strangely familiar to me but I did not know out why. I tried as much as possible to ignore Cole's presence
Chapter Twenty-Five Ivy Cole closed his eyes for a brief moment, before he started again "Brad told me about your parents. And that you have nowhere to go after graduation" "No thanks" I said drily I didn’t want him to say a word more "Listen to me I " "Don’t” I cut him off; I was even angrier with him if that was possible. If he thinks feeling pity for a girl like me is going to help him, He is so wrong in so many ways. "I can help you” "I don’t need help” “Ok fine, you know what, forget about it " "Oh you know what, No!" I retorted "Just forget about it, since you are too stubborn to need my help; I was just trying to be nice” "If you want to be nice; why can't you simply understand that I don't need your help?" "No; you don't want help! You need it,
