I met Caleb and Lacy when Noah introduced me to him at a party at his house one weekend. He stared at me with his deep dark brown eyes the whole time we were at the party. I know Noah and Caleb are friends and that they work together, but there was something about him that I couldn't quite put my finger on.
When I went to sleep last night I couldn't help but dream of Caleb with his dark eyes and long dark hair. I don't know what's wrong with me. I've never been so obsessed with a man. Even while I was dating Noah I was never this obsessed with him to where I memorized every single detail of him let alone dreamed of him at night. In my dream, I was back at the party where Caleb was staring me down when I got out of my chair when I started taking off my clothes as I walked over to him where I rode him as if I was on a pogo stick. I woke up the next morning literally disappointed.
Noah and I seem to spend every weekend at Caleb and Lacy's house. Lacy and I are only a year apart in age, so we get along. The guys could almost pass as brothers, they talk and act alike. The only difference is that Noah is older than Caleb. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to bother Caleb, because I feel he likes me more than just friends, he keeps giving me subtle hints like. "I would like to get some of that strange," and "Why did you marry an old guy?" But it's not
just what he says that has me believing this it's that he is always staring at me along with putting his arms around me. Don't get me wrong, I'm deeply in love with Noah, but, dammit, there is just something about Caleb that burns deep into my soul, unlike any other man that I have ever met. Could Caleb be my soulmate or is my sweet and loving husband Noah? It doesn't really matter. I'm happily married to Noah and Caleb is married to Lacy.
After four months of harmless flirting it went a little further. Noah, Caleb, and I were hanging out in Caleb's garage and when Noah went to get his drink from our pickup Caleb started to touch me in all the right places until Noah returned. When Noah was fixing a speaker for Caleb I hinted to him. "We should get together and play one day," Caleb turned around and said "I don't think Lacy would like that,"
"But would you like that," I asked him. Caleb couldn't answer since Noah called for him. He turned back to me, winked, then shook his head "No,"
It's ok, he can turn me down this time because I'm not one to take "No" for an answer plus I always get what I want sooner or later.
It’s so funny to see the jealousy all over Caleb's face when I hug and kiss Noah or when I am paying attention to other guys instead of him. It doesn’t really make sense to me because he is married to Lacy, who would love to have all of his attention. He even tries to make me jealous by flirting with other women while staring at me with a big smile on his face to see my reaction which is always the same me
laughing at him along with an eye roll.
Caleb and have a mutual friend named Jack. Well, Caleb has actually known Jack a lot longer than I have which in this case is very helpful. So Jack is the perfect person to ask to help me. “Hey Jack I need your help with something,” I asked him as I saw him sitting in Lacy’s living room. “Sure, what do you need help with sis,” He replies as he gets up to give me a hug. “I need you to help me to see if Caleb is jealous of other guys flirting with me and why, since he isn’t my husband,” I pleaded with my best pouty face.
“Oh, stop with the pouty face you know I will help you,” He laughs. “So what do you have in mind?”
“Well, I figured that we would flirt with each other and see if he gets jealous,” I said as I explained my plan. Jack gave me a curious look, then said. “We will only do it when he isn’t looking, so it will be fine,” I explained to him.
I head back out to the garage where Noah and Caleb are still working on the speaker. “You guys still haven’t fixed that speaker yet,” I joked. Caleb turned around like he was fixing to say something back, but Jack came into the garage and he reached over and grabbed my butt. Caleb turned to look at Jack as if he wanted to rip his head off. Jack being the crazy, carefree guy he is, looked at him laughing then asked. “What do you want me to grab your ass to Caleb,” As he walked toward him acting like he was going to grab his butt. With just one look from Caleb Jack stops dead in his tracks. Even Noah stopped
laughing, I stood by the garage door completely scared after seeing the look on his face go from sweet and caring to evil in a heartbeat.
“I think you need to leave Jack,” Caleb growled at him. “Never grab my ass or Hanna’s again got it or you will never be allowed here again,” Jack nods his head in understanding as he heads for his pickup. It wasn’t long before my phone pings letting me know that I had received a text from Jack saying. “There’s your answer pretty lady,”
“Thank you,” I sent back.
I guess I did have my answer, it was clearly evident that Caleb was jealous of me flirting with other men along with other men flirting with me. He didn’t like Noah, my own husband flirting with me. Noah just saw it all as harmless picking from friends.
With this newfound knowledge, I decided to have a little harmless fun and give Caleb the cold shoulder to see what he would do with me not talking to him. No more flirty talk at all. I would do just small talk that’s all but I would still talk to Lacy and everyone else. Unfortunately, my plan didn’t seem to work when we went to see Caleb and Lacy the next weekend. Caleb didn’t seem to notice or care that I wasn’t speaking to him, let alone acknowledge that he was there. Only Noah seemed to notice that I wasn’t talking to Caleb. “Okay, what’s up, did Caleb do something or say something to you to piss you off,” He asked on our way home that night. “ No, he didn’t do anything to me, I’m still upset with the way he treated Jack last weekend. When all Jack was
doing was joking around, that’s all,” I explained.

It turns out when you help the government take down a big time drug cartel they pay you handsomely even though I had only done it to stay alive and to get my life back. I had no idea that when I had made that fateful cry for help so long ago that I would be the downfall of the Reza cartel. I changed my name permanently to Aria Fitzgerald, Hanna Reza died that day when Caleb abducted her many moons ago. I am in my last semester of Law school. Dennis Blackman told me that when I graduate I could come work with him, he has even been letting me help him in his law firm. Which has taken off like a firestorm since he helped send the Reza’s to federal prison. My sweet Liam has taken some much needed time off from the FBI to rest and to build my dream house on the property that our family was murdered on. I know it sounds weird and creepy but to each their own. The people who had actually owned it weren't going to rebuild the house and just let the land just sit. They pretty much said it was
June third. The first day of the trial for Noah and Caleb. My ex-husband and his brother who abducted me. This day came too fast and too slow for me. I’m scared and grateful this whirlwind of a mess is finally over. I hope so. Will it ever really be over? Maybe, maybe not. I guess it just depends on how this trial goes. My emotions are all over the place this morning as I get dressed for the trial of the century. That’s what they are calling it on the news anyway. One minute I’ll be crying then the next minute I’m calm and collected, and another minute I feel like I’m going to pass out.Liam and Cap stopped by last night to give us an update on everything that had happened since we escaped into the tunnel. The gunfire that had happened was a distraction for two of the cartel men to be able to go into our house and kill us, but to their surprise, we had escaped just in time, plus they didn’t plan on Cap and Liam being there so late. The few men they had brought with them were taken do
It turns out that the other day we were followed back here but not by a vehicle but by a drone. When we thought that we had lost them before that first turn to go down the dirt road they had just stopped and used a drone to follow us. How could I have been so stupid to think that one day I’ll be free to live a normal life? I bet you're wondering how we found all this out, well Cap got up early this morning, as usual, he went out to the front porch to drink his morning coffee and found a drone sitting on a table with a picture of our house taped to it. He brought it in and plopped it in front of Liam. “They found us, brother, they might not have followed you by vehicle but they followed you,” Cap growled. “We are going to have to call in reinforcements. With the court date coming up they seem to be out for blood,” He looked straight at me when he said that. “What if I don’t testify do you think they would leave me alone then,” I trembled.Liam walks over to me putting his arms around m
“Come on I want to go to town,” I hear Allie pleading with her brother Liam, an FBI Agent that was sent to protect me until they put Noah, my asshole of an ex-husband, along with his sleazy brother Caleb in prison for abducting me and drug smuggling. Noah and Caleb are the sons of the head of the Reza drug cartel. Who are now after me and my two friends Allie and Melanie. “What do you need to go to town for,” Liam asked. “Fine if you must know I thought we could get some flowers to plant in front of the house and maybe some stuff to plant a garden, since Aria, Melanie and I are stuck here we should be able to plant some flowers and stuff,” She said. I make my way down the stairs when I catch Liam giving into his little sister.”Your right we will go later after Cap and I get these cameras up alright,” Allie squeals so loud it makes my head throb. Rubbing my temples I make my way to the coffee pot, “Hello old friend,” I say after taking a sip. “Did you say something,” Liam asked. “Just
Finally, after spending hours on the road, I’m back in my favorite place in the world Phoenix, Arizona with its beautiful scenery and culture plus the temperatures stay pleasantly warm throughout the year. The weather there is nothing like living in Arkansas. Liam pulled some strings with the University for me to do make-up classes so my grades wouldn’t drop. I’m not allowed to work for a while until the FBI knows that I’m safe and the cartel isn’t looking for me. Until then my classes will be done once again online.Allie and Melanie looked like they had just woken up when Liam and I had just walked into the house. “Oh thank god you're both safe,” They said, running up to give us hugs. “Aria I can’t thank you enough for what you did for me, even though it was completely stupid,” Melanie said hugging me tighter. “If there is anything I can do to repay you just let me know,” “You’re welcome, but Melanie you don’t need to repay me for saving you, you wouldn’t have been taken if it hadn
I don’t know how long I was out for but when I started coming around. I heard screaming men yelling just a bunch of commotion coming from the hallway. I go throw open the curtains to see a bunch of red and blue lights in front of the house. Some of the police cars were parked in the grass, in the driveway. They looked as if they surrounded us. “Yes, I’m saved,” I screamed out loud. “Not yet you’re not,” Noah advised me as he came through the door. He grabbed me by my arm and started dragging me out of the room. As he was dragging me through the house I saw people with FBI vests on along with Police vests. I started yelling for help over and over again. I thought I had seen Liam as Noah was trying to drag me out the back door. “Liam! Liam!,” I yelled until he finally noticed me the instant Noah had gotten me out the door. Liam gave chase out the back door shouting. “Noah stop, let her go,” When we get to a black car Noah stops and spins me around in front of him with a gun to my head.
I went about my usual routine early this morning. Not giving off any clues about what I had planned later. I know that Noah will be following me when I head to work. I'm going to purposely drop a note for him with a time to meet me before I have my first class. It’s not the smartest decision I’ve made but I need to get Melanie back from him. I’ll exchange myself for her release if I have to. I’m praying that Liam will figure out what I have done after Melanie and I are safe from Noah and the cartel.After my shift at the Mean Bean coffee shop, I start walking to the University when someone grabs my arm. Noah. He had been watching when I purposely dropped the note for him. “So you said you wanted to talk, but first where’s your boyfriend at,” He said. As he scans the area. “I don’t know where he is, but what I want to talk about is getting Melanie back,”“I’m sorry who are you talking about,”“My friend Melanie, the one your people took on her way to work one day,” I hissed.“Oh that
If nobody ever told you that if you want to keep the guy you're messing around with a secret from your friends, never give them a key to your house.Allie and Melanie showed up around seven this morning wanting to know all that had happened after we left the restaurant. They decided to wake me up by storming into my room and jumping on me in bed. When they opened my bedroom door ready to pounce they saw Liam and me snuggled up together. “Oh my god,” Allie freaked out. “Did you guys actually hook up last night,” I sat up in bed, pulling the blanket up to my neck? “Allie let me explain please,” I said, trying to find the right words to explain what happened. “Don’t get me wrong, I’m tickled,” Allie interrupted. “It’s just is this the actual reason you didn’t want us to come over last night,”“No sis, I promise this wasn’t planned at all, Noah was sitting outside the house in a white Tahoe and I didn’t want him to catch you two coming into the house,” Liam chimed in sitting up in bed ma
It takes me three cups of coffee for me to feel halfway human. When I can finally move my head side to side and back and forth without it feeling like it’s going to fall off my body I go and take a shower hoping that it will help me sober up some more.Thank goodness I don’t have to go back to school or work until tomorrow so I can just lounge around the house and relax plus start to feel better after my loving, crazy friends got me drunk just to pierce my ears. After my shower, I head to the kitchen not for my normal coffee but for a nice cup of herbal tea then head back up to my room and I slide back into my nice comfy bed where I plan to stay all day. Thanks to my new buddy Liam I don’t get that chance. “Come on, beauty queen, get up we have work to do,” He says, opening up the curtains letting the sunshine in as he tries to get me out of bed. I flipped him a double bird and pulled the covers over my head. Liam bends down, grabs my ankles, and pulls me out from under the covers. “
