LOGINFinn’s povI headed somewhere else to sit. Away from Jason, away from Knox, and away from everyone else.I wanted my peace for crying out loud. I had been in a web of constant bullying, and I couldn't seem to escape from it.“You seem to have gotten into trouble, right?” I didn't know how long I had been in thought, but Zale's voice pulled me back to reality.“Zale!” I stood up and pulled him into a hug.He chuckled. “I know you missed me; don't worry, I'm back.” Whatever assurance that was, I was willing to take it. I mean, he was the only friend I truly had that didn't want anything in return.“How have you been?” He took a seat, and I exhaled. Maybe this was what I needed all along: someone actually to talk to.“Horrible. I really don't know how else to put it, but that's what I can say for now.” “Really?” He asked with raised brows, but when he didn't hear a word from me, he sighed.“Nothing has also happened from my end. My life feels boring. For some reason, I consider you to
Knox’s PovI arrived in class and noticed Finn wasn't seated near Jason. There seemed to be a distance between them, almost like I could feel the cold wall between them.“Why do you keep looking in that Grant kid's direction? You should be looking at me.” I exhaled, holding back the urge to shout at her. She was such a drama queen and, one way or another, looked for a way to get my attention now and then.I turned towards her, parting my lips to say something when she slammed her lips on mine.Her kiss was quick, and she pulled away, eyes wide with expectation. I said nothing.“Well? I paused, staring at her. “Well, what?” I really wanted to know what the hell was going on in her head. “Did you enjoy the kiss?” I squinted my eyes, trying to figure out the best reply I could give, but from the corner of my eyes, I could catch Finn's burning gaze. I guess he hated what he had seen.“Come on, baby, tell me, did you—”“Good morning, class.” I exhaled, my chest drumming hard. Saved by
Finn’s povThe rest of the day went on with us touching each other. He was so clingy and addicted to my touch, almost like a stray dog who finally found its owner. “You have to be careful; you're getting addicted.” “Is that a crime? I thought that was something you wanted.” He asked, and I shook my head.“You still haven't answered the question I asked you earlier. The one about Calista, and I'm not sure if we can work out if you don't work on that.”He exhaled. “You want me to end my relationship with her? She'll definitely want to know why, and she might investigate. Imagine what would happen if she finds out?” I scoffed. “Then I'm free to move around with Jason and also kiss him because you're definitely going to be doing that with her.“Are you jealous?” He paused, shaking his head. “Then why don't you want me to hang out with him? Jason's not that bad; don't you get it? I understand that you're scared, but you have—”“He's not good for you. He gets to me, and I don't want it
Finn’s PovI didn't know what else to say. I knew I wanted to be in a relationship with him, but he treats me like nothing. Jason, on the other hand, was a better option. Jason was never going to make me see myself as a worthless piece of trash. I tried to explain this to him, but he didn't want to understand, which made me give up immediately.“There's no need to try to convince me; I just don't think a relationship between us would be…”He shut me up with a kiss, and I at first didn't want to kiss him back, but he picked up my hands and placed them on the bulge in his pants.I felt my body tense, and heat swarmed me.Fuck!I began to kiss him as if my life depended on it. My hand was moving along his strong shoulders.I didn't plan to just kiss him; I wanted him as well.I kissed him, pulling away my hands that were on the bulge that lingered on his pants before I was finally able to move to pull his button away from their usual spot, fully revealing his chest.He didn't mind taki
Knox’s povI bit my lips. Why did he have to bring up such a tempting offer now? I swallowed. Was he trying to entice me? I didn't think he could resist. A secret relationship was perfect and…“But you have to end everything with Calista.” I snapped my head towards him, eyes wide open and lips parted to say something, but words refused to come out.He blinked, gesturing for me to speak before I blinked back to reality.“You know, I sometimes think you're trying to get me in trouble. You want me to break up with her when she hasn't done anything to me?” He nodded. “If you want to be with me, then you have to choose. I'm human, and I get jealous too. The same way you get jealous when Jason comes close.”I sighed. “Aren't we supposed to be working on a project?” Finn scoffed. “We're talking about things that could benefit you and me, and you're worried about a project that I could do on my own?” He shook his head. “Wow.” I knew I was definitely going to give that reaction. “Are you
Finn’s povI stayed calm, my heart racing as his breath fanned my nape. He towered over me all through the project.“Can you move a little? I feel stuck.” He scoffed. “No, continue; I like watching from this angle.” I shook my head, twisting my lips to the side. There was definitely something he wasn't telling me.“You're not supposed to be this close to me. You know that, right?” He didn't say a thing. Instead, he kept his position and kept fanning my neck with his breath.“What exactly do you want from me, huh?” I turned towards him, and I noticed how his eyes scanned my bare chest through the loose button. He pressed his lips together and exhaled.“To make you suffer.” I clicked my tongue. “Or to make me so close to you that I become so used to your presence. Stop playing hard to get, Knox. What are you so afraid of, hmm?” He exhaled, face wrinkled as creased lines formed
Finn's povI needed to go back. His warnings, that tone, everything was supposed to scare me but I guess I saw something underneath all of it that made it make sense.“Care…”“You're packing already? I thought you would stay one more day. Your siblings would be back with us tomorrow, I'm sure you'd
Finn’s pov“Well, I don't care. I gave you an extension already I don't plan to give you another. Do you hear me?”“But I promise to pay. I lost my job and–”“I don't give a damn you losing your job shouldn't affect my business. There are many people on the streets looking for that kind of trailer
Finn’s pov“Thanks so much, Mom; it was delicious.” I took the dishes off the table and watched as Mom smiled warmly at me. “So what now? When are you returning to school? You see I'm doing fine, right?” She asked, and I felt my body stiffen as I placed the dishes in the m
Knox’s pov“Ughhh,” I groaned, pushing myself up from where I lay, but I immediately hissed in pain and fixed my palms to my head to stop the banging.“What the fuck happened?” I muttered as images of last night began to flash in my mind.My eyes widened, and I shook my head, not wanting to believe
