TheaI have come to pick up the kids today also. Eventually, I didn't use to do that when we were in another city. I'm still in need of getting a few things settled over here. Like a good club, a gym, a fixed place to meditate and some good coffee shops to explore. But it has been like two weeks since we moved here. I still couldn't fix my schedule properly. Tiffany said I'm investing my time in thinking about Christian too much. And I believe that. Over the weeks I have realised how my urge for him goes stronger with each of our meetings. Maybe, destiny is in my favour. I won't give up until I get a bit of his taste. I look over at Kevin and Ryan. But they are too busy talking to their friends. I find Chrisanna sitting under the shades again. Walking towards her, I pass her a smile."Hey!"She looks up at me and smiles wider. "Hello""How are you feeling now?" I ask."I'm good. And thank you so much for helping me", she says. She's indeed a sweet kid, it's just she freaks me out wh
Ivanna "Than them? Are you telling me that I'm comparing you with someone? Really?" He scoffs. I think I chose way too many wrong words. "But you used to boost my confidence before. Now you're scaring me before doing this. What should I assume? That you think I'm not suitable for such things and I don't have good taste like others"As I rant, he lets out a deep sigh, looking down. I can see his reactions hardening. He looks annoyed. As he should. I keep being annoying nowadays. I wait for him to lash out at me again. But instead, he looks up at me with his calm eyes and sighs again."I used to boost your confidence in the right place. It used to be the kind of thing which you liked and you were not confident enough. I have never tried to encourage you to do those things you'll never like or force yourself to do. I know you won't like it here. That's why I'm saying. Otherwise, I didn't stop you from going. Did I?"I look at him as a culprit now.What happens to me suddenly? Why do I
IvannaStop! Stop, Ivanna! I told myself and pushed the third shot aside. I can't take more than this. It'll be a height of irresponsibility if I get drunk over here keeping my sick daughter at home. Besides, I have too much work to do tomorrow."What happened?" Thea asks. As much as I can see her through the mist lights, she's grinning at me. "I don't think I can take more than this. Please don't insist anymore", I mutter."Yeah, sure", she sips from her drink. Later, Astrid brings all the ladies over there to play cards but hell! I don't even know how this works. I let Astrid know right away and she tells me to enjoy it. It's super weird. I don't think I have ever done such hangouts before. In college days, Emily, Jordan and Stella used to hang out on a monthly basis, sometimes Irene and her temporary dates used to join but it has always been like a drink, dance, laughing and moving. A typical thing new adults used to do, was basically broke, out of money, and less budget. Just a
TheaIvanna is too innocent to be true. Whether she's super innocent or super fake. Well, she has every fucking thing any woman can dream of. Why would she need more entertainment in life? Maybe, this is the reason they are smitten with each other. It's gonna give me a hard time creating a crack between them. I go back to the dance area and enjoy myself instead of wasting my entire time on her. I take the fourth shot and I know it's not gonna make me high enough. The hangover will be gone in a few minutes. After all, I'm a pro at tasting different shots. A guy approaches me, showing off his body to please me but my vision goes a bit blurry. I never really approach strippers but this time I don't see a random guy in front of me anymore. It's Christian. I touch his hard masculine body and trace my hands up around him in sensation. My blurry gaze finds its way to his handsome smirk as he stares down at me. I have been craving for his intense gaze to be on me, only and only on me. Fina
ChristianI didn't really expect to discover what I'm seeing now. Without delaying another second, I rush in the direction of Thea walking Ivanna towards me. Ivanna's eyes are closed and she can't even walk on her own. Is she drunk? I reach them right away and clasp Ivanna's arm, pulling her towards me. She falls on my chest heavily, dropping all the weight upon me. "What happened to her?" I exclaim, drifting my gaze at Thea. She stutters a bit and passes me a tight-lipped smile. "She drank too much. I tried to stop her but she didn't hear me", Thea says.I can't believe she drank so much on her own at this moment. Or maybe, she went with the flow. I don't know her state of mind. I look down at Ivanna breathing heavily against my chest, her face completely covered with her messy hair. I slowly remove them, tugging behind her ear. Her lips slightly shiver as she's ranting something."I don't— want to—", that's what I can hear from her rants and frown at her."Don't want? What? What
ChristianFollowing her broken instructions, we come to the terrace, running.Yeah. Running. She asked me to run the next ten steps. And I'm huffing already. Rushing faster, I fall on our ground bed as she bursts into laughter underneath me. I wrap my arms around her tightly while laughing with her. Her face brushes against the bed first, and then she turns around, facing me. Deep eye contact occurs between us. I settle myself properly on top of her as she tangles her legs around me again. She cups my face and tilts her head, smiling lovingly as if she's adoring me with her beautiful eyes as I'm doing to her.She looks so breathtakingly beautiful while smiling her heart out."Hey, handsome", she snickers, her face glowing under moonlight. "Hey, gorgeous", I smile back, nuzzling her cheek."I love you", she encircles her lips as an invisible kiss, making me fall in love with her gestures more and more. "I love you more", I whisper, touching my nose with hers."No. I love you more",
IvannaThea! Why would she come so early in the morning? I'm already anxious about last night since I barely remember anything that happened at the party, especially after the last drink. And I'm not having a good feeling about it. How did Christian show up there? Did anyone call him or did he come himself? God! I swallow down the food and drink the entire glass of chilled water when Christian leaves the chair."Let me check", he walks towards me and grabs my head, leaning down and kissing my forehead in such a casual way that it makes me smile blissfully. "Don't come there before finishing breakfast, okay?"I nod. Christian strides to the living room. I don't think I can swallow even a grain when Christian would be talking to Thea. Thea"Good morning", Christian comes to the living room as I drift my eyes towards him. He's wearing a black t-shirt and trousers, his robust body curved against the fabric, making my stomach twitch in sensation. Why does this man look so terrific eve
IvannaThe way Christian shoves my hand away has me shaken on the spot. Anticipation streams through my veins as I gawk up at him helplessly. He indeed looks angry and disappointed when he lifts his eyes at me. I lose my voice to speak and stutter instead, "Chris, I— I really don't— don't know how this happened—"He says nothing and holds my cheek with his firm palm. "Did I ask for your explanation, Iv?" His voice is hoarse. I shake my head on the verge of crying. I don't know what's going on inside him, what's he thinking about me. Is he too angry? He should be. Just a minute ago, I couldn't tolerate Thea being so close to them. What he saw was more terrible than this. However, I hope he'll understand me."But I can— can explain", my voice shakes as I look straight into his eyes. "But I don't need it", he gasps and looks down. "I know you were drunk. It was too obvious. You didn't even recognise me properly last night. It's fine"He tells me but I still can't be convinced. His eyes
