“I thought you won’t let me in. That was why I was leaving, honey. I didn’t want to get you angry.” William~ “Have you seen him since that day?” Chloe asks with her voice holding a great deal of concern in them. I shrug and pick a box of cornflakes from the upper shelf and pour it into a bowl. When I put in my desired quantity, I keep it back before picking the bottle of milk and pouring it into the bowl. The water in the kettle is whistling from heat and I turned off the glass cooker it’s on before pouring a little into my bowl and stirring with my spoon. I carry the bowl back to the centre table where my laptop is still stirring it, and grin at Chloe, who is rolling her eyes on the screen of the laptop. She’s wearing an oversized brown T-shirt, one I’m thinking belongs to Seth, and there is a cowboy hat on her head. A few of her blonde hair, which is a ponytail under the hat, keeps falling to her face and she keeps moving them aside. Two years ago, I heard the birth of their so

“You don’t have to be perfect for me, you just have to be you. These words were the words you told me on my seventeenth birthday and now I’m saying them to you.” Karen~ Wake me up and tell me this is a dream! “What the hell, William, where are your clothes? And why aren’t you wearing anything?” “I can’t find them.” Comes his nonchalant reply. “How is it possible that it’s easy for you to find the kitchen and not your clothes?!” I demand, feeling a little angry at the gloriously naked man in the kitchen. His eyes lower dully and he bites his full lower lips, “You’re mad at me, don’t be mad at me.” As he steps further, my eyes go to the ungodly part of him. Yes, the one I’m not supposed to see and as I take him in with my eyes, I realise what I’m seeing isn’t imagination in my head or a picture; he is real, all of him. My jaw drops and if it can hit the floor, it would have, and the surprise is also in my eyes as I stare at him in awe. Damn, he is big and long and also really thi

“Say you won’t ruin this, say you won’t give up, say you won’t let go, say you won’t hold back, say you’ll fight for us.” Karen~ He doesn’t answer my question instead; he kisses me, pulling me to his hard form and his arms, wrapping around my waist possessively as his tongue and lips devour into mine. My legs are up, tiptoeing to kiss him back because of our height, but I don’t feel the pressure on them because his arms are supporting me up. I don’t really know how, but we end up on the bed with William on top of me as he kisses the rest of my face before moving down to my neck. At the sweep of his tongue, at the spot where my shoulder and neck meet, my legs coil up and a long, hard moan escapes my mouth and I suddenly realise how sensitive the spot has become. William seems to have noticed it too because he focuses on there more, licking and sucking into it while his finger finds out my nipple through the sweater and plays with it. I moan and try to move, if not escape from the as

Honey, did you really think I wanted to see the hatred and dislike you had for me and the disgust you held in those eyes every time I did something stupid all those years? William ~ William’s POV FLASHBACK----> Karen was almost one, and all I wanted to do was be around her, experience life from her eyes. I wanted to be part of her world, which I knew was and will always be a lot better than mine. She was always peaceful, happy, and cheerful, and would always giggle at the most unusual happenings around. She was also an escape from my crazy young life. Being around her made me feel at ease and I didn’t feel as alone as I used to be before her birth. I remember the first day I saw her and how my heart has been with her ever since. Karen since the first day we met had given me courage, one I didn’t think I would have had in a thousand years. After setting my eyes on her, I couldn’t stay away from her. I remember father threatening to throw both Karen and Samuel out if I kept keeping

“Is that not enough to be the problem? The only people I know that don’t age and look this way are gods. Are you a god Mr McQueen?” Karen~ Flashback-----> “The doctor says you wanted to see me?” I said, walking into Samuel’s ward and approaching his bed. He was at stage four of the cancer of the brain and, as much as I didn’t want to admit it; he was dying. His skin was so pale and his head had no hair and so was the strength I always knew him for. He nodded and motioned for me to sit down. I took my sit on the chair close to him and waited patiently for what he wanted to say. “Thank you, William, for everything you’ve done for me these past six months.” He said slowly and with much effort. I shook my head, “I did nothing, Samuel.” He smiled dryly, “To you, it might be nothing, but to me it’s everything.” Samuel illness wasn’t one we expected or prepared for, it was sudden and was aggressive that Samuel had to be hospitalised immediately and treatments began swiftly too and th

“I love you Karen and I’m going to do everything to make you happy even if it means paying your way into paradise” William~ We drive to the university and, being already familiar with the place, I lead the way and William trail behind me. “I heard you have been one of the Oxford stars for the last three years you’ve been here.” A satisfactory smile appears on my face, “Not to brag, but I’m the star among the stars of Oxford.” His eyes rolls, “Show off.” He says through his breath. “Sorry, Mr, how many awards and recognitions did you get in your time?” There are shades of red on both of his cheeks as he answers, “None.” “See?” “I never wanted to go into the family business, in fact, I wanted to be a poet, but like always William had other plans for me and I know I was always rebellious, but I will put my rebellion aside and make him proud of me. He will never be here to see it though.” “Well, I’m proud of you, not just as the successful billionaire you are, but for you and I st

“I want you to want me as much as I want you” William~ About seven-minute later, Japhia comes out of the booth with a worn-out look on his face. I approach him and William trails behind me. “How did it go?” I ask with my eyes desperately searching his. He huffs, “You ask questions you already know the answer to. If it went great, I’d be holding 150 grand in my hand, right? And now I’m not, so what does that tell you?” “It didn’t go well?” He nods, giving me a slight smile. “See? Now you’ve answered your own question.” I grit my teeth as yet again he’s made me feel dumb and like he knew what I was thinking about William rubs his hand on the small of my back trying to ease my slowly rising anger and I feel it dies off, but so far from letting it go. I touch his shoulder and when he looks at me, I gave him a sad face, “Is it that difficult or are you that clueless?” Japhia slaps off my hand from his shoulder and William tries to suppress his laughter but fails miserably. I turn to

“Just like the star you’ve always been there.” Karen~ “Come home with me.” Is William’s first word in the last ten minutes of our stargazing. This is the first night in this week that it didn’t rain so William and I (which is just me,) spent a few hours out looking at the stars and seeing that William showed no opposition, we drove out to an open field, spread out our mat and then we laid down on the grass and we have been gazing afar off for the last ten minutes. My concentration dwindles and I lose focus on the star I’ve been trying to tell myself isn’t moving. I know the home he’s talking about isn’t back home to my apartment, he’s talking about home back in the States. We’ve had this discussion over the last couple of days and, well, I haven’t given him a straight answer... I thought I did last time. This past week we have coexisted without tearing at each other, which is a success. Our week went by something like this. I go to class in the morning, while William stays at home
