Penny, Nick and Alec were left there and since Nick told me to leave the circle because Penny was being her drunk self and kept firing insults at me, he told me to rather leave.All of a sudden a bottle of beer was handed out to me and I looked around to find Alec. He smiled at me, "Beer?""No thanks." I answered.He sits right next to me and we were both now looking at the peaceful lake, he was drinking the beer instead. "Where's everyone?" I asked."Drunk. Asleep. Maybe drunk screwing.""Drunk screwing?" I laughed. "How's Penny?"
CHAPTER 28 YuanfenYuanfen- a relationship by fate or destiny; the binding force between two peopleOrigin: Chinese28I hear a knock by the door. "Savannah?"I quickly slipped out of my bikini and covered my naked self with the towel. I rushed to the door and opened it, finding Nick leaning on the wall with nothing on but his white boxers and his body is always giving me a mini heart attack. I moved my head up to his face, "Yeah?"God he's also checking me out.He licked his lips. "Here's a shirt."I reached for it but he quickly pulled it up, "I almost forgot. We were sleeping naked tonight, weren't we?"Oh that smirk on his face is making me smile as well. "Then why did you have to knock and hand me a shirt?" I arched my eyebrow."Because ...""Because?" I asked."Because you were taking so long." he said quickly and in a second, he quickly threw me over his shoulder and I squealed but then covered my mouth right away so I won't wake the others. My towel is already coming off and
CHAPTER 29 EscapismEscapism- escaping from realityOrigin: English29NICK'S POVEIGHT YEARS AGO"Nick are you sure about this? Her folks might send us to jail dude." I hear Alec."Just wait, alright? She'll be out."I gaze at my watch and it was already one in the morning. Alec and I were waiting for Catherine to come out of their mansion. We weren't planning on eloping or running away, but we just wanted to go out. We wanted to see each other after what happened when her father found us. I know it's gonna be harder to sneak her out and her bodyguards will be following her everywhere she'll go but I will do want whatever I can just to see my girlfriend."Nick. Shit Nick her bodyguards." Alec pulled my arm."Fuck. Hide." I spit.Both of us hid behind the bushes and just hoped we won't get caught. When it was clear, one fifteen in the morning, I'm almost freezing from these bushes and Alec has been whining about leaving already, that's when I saw Catherine carefully sneaking out."Ca
CHAPTER 30 OrphicOrphic- mysterious and entrancingOrigin: unknown30SAVANNAH'S POVAlmost six in the evening, my classes for Friday was done. I threw myself to the bed and I was dreaded for a five straight days of continuous exams. I haven't had enough sleep lately and I feel like I need sleep. Like a long sleep. I even think I lost weight. Though it wasn't really some major exams but I still need to pass them because I don't want to do some extra credit in the middle of the semester and Im not used to failing anything. My body feels so tired and my heavy eyelids are closing and closing and closing, almost about to shut until the door opens wide and my eyes opens wide as well, it was Tracy."Oh gosh it's just you." I exhaled.She smiles at me and enters the room."Tracy you need to come with me."That voice.Nick starts walking inside the room right behind her and then glances at me. He shuts the door close and I was still lying down on the bed. He looks at me and I was looking ba
CHAPTER 31 ForelsketForelsket- the euphoria you experience when you are first falling in loveOrigin: Norwegian31Both of us headed up to my room and as soon as we got inside, he walked to the bed and placed the box on top. I locked the door and just watched Nick. It felt like a déjà vu, like it was the first night we spent together."Aren't you gonna join me here?" He asked.I smiled and started walking closer to him. I sat down on the bed right across him and he gave me a slice. We just ate peacefully and he opened a can of soda for me too."I think you still need curtains." I say."No curtains."I smiled. "Why? Do you have some fear of curtains?"He shakes his head. "Nope. I just don't like curtains.""Why?" I asked again before taking a drink from my cola."Because it'll just add dust to my room and I'm too lazy to wash it time to time."I nod. "Reasonable."He pulled out a ply of tissue and wiped my cheek, "You're such a messy eater."I giggled."I'm just really hungry." I sai
CHAPTER 32 CaimCaim- an invisible circle of protection that reminds you that you are safe and loved even in the darkest times; sanctuaryOrigin: Scottish32I pulled myself up from the bed."Where are you going?" Nick asked."Shower. I need to take a shower before I sleep." I said while grabbing my towel.He glances at his watch. "It's already eleven in the evening."I nodded. "Yeah, what's wrong with that?"He stares at me as I grab my mini basket that contains all the things I need for my shower --- shampoo, body wash, shaver, conditioner and some other extra stuff. I started slipping off from my clothes in front of him leaving me with nothing but my underwear on then I quickly wrapped my towel around my body. We just looked at each other for a few seconds and I was waiting for him to get up from the bed and tell me that he's going to join me in the shower.Oh please join me in the shower, Nick."I'll just wait for you here, then." he says.I sigh inwardly."Alright.

CHAPTER 33 AspectabundAspectabund- being able to let expressive emotion show easily through one a face and eyesOrigin: English333:30 AMNick and I were still playing by the shore of this beach where he took me. There weren't much people around since it was already getting late. He was giving me a piggyback ride while he kept spinning himself around and around until both of us fell on the sand. My butt was hurting but we were both laughing.We weren't drunk and we didn't drink. I think this was the side effects of showering together and eating pizza and ice cream. I think this was definitely caused by the ice cream. It was strawberry, he said it was his favorite. Unusual favorite flavor of an ice cream for a frat guy like him.I wonder if Catherine likes strawberry flavored ice cream too.We haven't had sleep yet and I think when we're together we don't need sleep at all because even though I am with him, all these time that I'm spending with Nick is still not enough for me. It fe
CHAPTER 34 La Douleur Exquise La Douleur Exquise- the heart-wrenching pain of wanting the affection of someone unattainableOrigin: French34It was unexpected to see Channing around here and it was very coincidental that I had to be with Nick. It's not that I don't want them to meet, but I just dont want Nick to feel a little bit down when he sees Channing. I know Nick hates or has a problem about rich people and Channing is rich and can be very boastful sometimes."Does that have cheese?" I asked Nick. Trying to make a conversation with him."Yeah. You want it?" Nick asked.Channing softly laughs. "Savannah doesn't like cheese, man."I gaze at Channing. He remembers.I moved my head back to Nick who looked a little bit pissed. We just continued eating again while Channing and I just kept talking about how his days went well in Ohio State University then he would ask me about how mine went in WSU too while Nick was just eating quietly. We didn't mean to make him feel out of place
