Briar's POV"Holy shit, he looks so hot!" Bianca whispered in Charlotte's ear."Shut up! He might hear you." Charlotte said pinching her shoulder lightly."Girls you ready? There's no teacher here, right now. We can talk to them for a few minutes, but we have to meet near the entrance after exactly twenty minutes. Got it?" Ariana said looking at her watch.Everyone nodded but I was still lost in the thoughts of Mr. Wilson getting mad at me, but Ariana tapped my shoulder bringing me back to reality."Got it Briar?!" She asked me and I nodded.'I knew exactly what to do, but in a much more real sense, I had no idea what to do'- Michael Scott from The Office.Yes, that's me right now.That's me because I genuinely didn't know what I would do with that guy. It was like you were assigned some work, but you have no courage or interest to do it nicely. I walked in the guy's direction and soon saw him much clearer and nearer. Not going to lie, he was really cute. Just like any other handsome
Gareth's POVTemper is a glass that holds tons of stones, which have the tendency of moving and breaking this jar of patience. While I tried as hard to not be vexed, something inside me itched when I saw her with that guy. Almost as if losing something I never even had for myself to begin with, she eloped with him like dust in air.Was I angry? Yes, very.I knew very well that these girls would take advantage of Dom's words. So, I was alert about everything they were thinking and planning. As soon as we left the girls they went away with those boys, because no matter how swift they were, I could sense how far they could possibly go. I wouldn’t deny that a part of me shambled when I saw Briar’s friends talking to that group of guys, because as I assumed in my head, perhaps she was also a part of that conversation? I never saw her though.It was all good until I saw that boy holding Briar's hand and pulling her upstairs. Yes, I couldn't stand some other guy touching her, other than me.
Gareth's POV"What?" I said as I was utterly shocked.I didn't expect this answer. More so, she likes me back? Meaning from past these days, she was also feeling the exact same way? Her heart also dropped every time she saw me? I also gave her butterflies? I was feeling like a teenager who has been asked out by his all-time crush. A tinge of embarrassment made it worse for me to imagine anything further.But I still couldn’t get over her answer and knowing this was not good added up to my unwillingness to question ahead. We simply couldn't be a thing; we can't date each other. I can't let her stay with me, just because I like her. But she likes me too, which just made it worse. Remembering what Dominic said earlier and knowing that my decision would affect her present and future. Moving ahead simply meant ruining her life."I like you too." She repeated without making eye contact, I could sense her blushing."But we can't date each other." I said bluntly and suddenly her expressions c
Briar's POVWhen I got inside the elevator, I saw myself in the mirror. My neck was covered with love bites, and my lips were puffy. I blushed as a ticklish sensation spread across my body. His liking of me still fascinates me. Is this a dream? Does the most fantastic and gorgeous man I've been crushing on likes me too? Even so, is that possible? And I still find it difficult to accept that he asked me first! I was really floating on cloud nine.I exited the elevator as soon as it opened. No one was in the lobby because it was late at night. Everything was extremely quiet. All I could hear as I went was the sound of my shoes hitting the ground. I ran back to my room since the silence and the chill in the air made me feel uneasy. It wasn't too far to the elevator, but for some reason I was finding it incredibly difficult to make the trip.My stride quickened, and I made it to our room without delay. After knocking, I saw that the door had already been opened. I hoped when I went inside
Briar's POV It's been almost a week since our trip ended and it was quicker than expected. Time flew fast, I don't think I'd forget even a second of this entire trip. It was probably the best one ever. Most unforgettable one. Of course, it's memorable because I enjoyed so much, met Dominic and also started dating a handsome man. I know I was exaggerating about the last part. It has not even been a week since we started going out and he already has been giving me gifts. Yesterday, he got me my favourite chocolates, because I just randomly said that it's been long and I haven't had them. He takes care of little details and listens to everything I say. Though we usually don’t have much conversations, we are enjoying our time together. It was a new experience for me and I was liking it a lot. It's like he's making me fall in love with him even more, as every hour passes by. >> Well, it was another day and as usual I was excited to see my boyfriend. We all gathered in the assembly hall
Briar's POVDays have passed since we last truly interacted. His recent busyness has been primarily due to the yearly interschool and house tournaments. The literary club, the theatre, and other clubs were all involved in a lot of activities. The whole school was like a gigantic carnival, and we were all obviously having a good time. We either prepare for or hold competitions every day. As a result, everyone in the school is busy with something.It was late at night; I was still working on a project at my desk. Even though I still had time to finish it, I chose to do so today, because my drowsy baby form still hadn’t taken over; fortunately.I had some chocolate in my hand, which motivated me to finish my work without feeling drowsy or bored. I thought back to the day he handed me these chocolates as I licked my lips. He constantly asks me to use the random items he gives me so he can continue to get me even more gifts. For the past about four weeks of us dating, he has given me choco
Gareth's POVI can't help but admit that a strong scent of her in my sweatshirt is still present, but I don't mind. Last night, I kept my sweatshirt that she wore, close to me as I imagined how utterly blissful her presence would be. How wonderful it would be to sleep with her every night. I enjoy looking after her. I get delighted just thinking about spoiling her. I'm not sure how that's even feasible.I wouldn't be able to meet her because it was the weekend. I was working in my office, but I couldn't stop thinking about how I wouldn't see her face today, which upset me. Everything becomes so easy when she's in my reach, when I know I'd be able to hold her soon. I don't understand how she does that. How her presence feels the most peaceful place to be in. Touching her soft skin is so satisfying.Every time I consider her, I struggle with my identity. Am I acting appropriately? Am I stalling her future? Am I the correct person for her? 'The one' for her, am I?These questions seem to
Briar’s POV“Do you like churros?”“Hm?” He looked up at me, while I was leaning on his desk in front of him. Almost ten o’clock late at night and he was still working in his office. He usually asks me to hang out with him, even when he has work, which makes my heart warm.“We can make them together.”“You want to?”“Hmm.” I smiled and he chuckled.“You need to stop being so cute.” I could not help but chuckle when he poked my nose. “Have you made them before?” He asked.“What if I say no?”“Then I’ll have to order a pizza as well.” He said making me chuckle and continued, “ugh, I love making you laugh.”“Do you?” I said and made my way over to him, while he just watched my movement and after reaching near him, I sat on his lap. Wrapping my arms around his neck and noticing his arms circling around my waist like an automatic movement made me blush.“I actually love it more, when you do this.” He said and I kissed his cheek.“Oh, this is my favourite part.”“Really?” I said and kissed
