KATHERINE“Hey Katherine, where are you?” Katie asked the moment I answered the call, I had just left my dad's place. The house felt silent this morning when we were having breakfast, I wondered what was wrong if they had an argument but neither of them said no and that it was just once in a while thing when couples are short of words to say to each other.I hadn't bought their silly excuses but in order not to pry deeper I had let it go hoping they would tell me when they have both calmed down, I told them I would be leaving after breakfast.Dad had instructed his driver to drop me off at my apartment and I was close to my door when I heard my phone ring and it was Katie.“I just got to my apartment, what's wrong?” I asked.“Nothing, you didn't call me yesterday when you left and I was worried, I tried calling your number but it wasn't connecting.”“I slept off early, I was exhausted. I'm sorry about that. How was the party celebration?” I asked her.“It was nice though dad and mum w
Katherine Thorne: “M— Mother!” I tore away from Alexander’s lips immediately and was face–to–face with the immensely angered scowl on my mother’s face. My body dilated with fear. “Katherine Oliva Throne! What the hell are you doing kissing—” She paused, taking a moment to stare down Alex in a demeaning manner and the frown on her face deepened. “— this rascal deviant of a boy!” She completed her statement with so much disdain evident in her tone. My mother was boiling and raging mad, the reason wasn’t only because I was kissing Alexander, but it was also Alexander himself. He was everything a responsible man shouldn’t be in my mother’s books; bizarre and numerous tattoos, ear piercings, chains on his neck and wrists, and the typical bad–boy smirk slapped across his face right now. Why the heck was he smirking at this? What was so amusing? And my mother just caught me kissing him, I’m done for. “Mother, it’s not what you think. I’m telling you the truth!” I protested, tryin
Katherine Thorne:“WHAT?” Kate shrieked, slamming her locker shut. “You kissed Alexa—” The rest of her sentence came out muffled into my palm because I had to cover her mouth before she told the whole school that Alexander had kissed me. We were by the lockers in the hallway and students were all around us, I didn’t want to be the topic of any gossip. And some students had their attention drawn to us already at the mention of the word ‘kiss’.“Shut up, Katie. People may hear you.” I scolded her, letting go of her mouth gradually. “And no, I didn’t kiss Alexander, he kissed me,” I explained to her in a near–whisper. “How on earth!” She asked, the curiosity in her tone was almost whole enough to slice with a knife. “Well, when I got back to my apartment and got off the phone call with you, he was right behind me.” I began my narration. “He started off by being the annoying jerk he usually is, then went on to ask me to tutor him.” Katie’s eyes widened, “He wants you to tutor him? Wow
Katherine Thrones I was feeling positive and sure I would be able to corner the bad boy Alex to where I wanted him and then I would break his heart and teach him a lesson to never mess with girls in his whole life. Katie squealed in happiness, “Oh! Yes, yes! Katherine, yes! I’ve been waiting for you to say these very words and agree to get Alexander where it hurts! I’m so happy.” Katie beamed at me with a wide grin. She was more excited about this than I was. “Yes, I will properly agree to date him just to teach him a lesson,” I stated and Katie’s smile curved into a sly smirk. “Just to teach him a lesson right? Don’t fall in love with him, Katherine.” Katie warned and I shook my head in naught. Never. Nope. Not Happening. First of all, my mother would kill me and whatever boy I fall in love with and secondly, Alexander is not even the type of boy I’d envision myself falling in love with. He’s not my type and not worth taking the risk of disobeying my mother. This is just to teac
Katherine Thorne: I was speechless. Why was he asking this question? What did he know? Had he overheard Katie’s and I’s discussion by chance? Was he eavesdropping on us in the bathroom? Or was Samantha eavesdropping on us and went ahead to snitch to him? My mind was racing as possible scenarios played in my head and I was panicking that our plan had been exposed. And it was taking everything in me to not let my worry show on my face, I can’t let him see it. But now, I have to answer his question. What made me suddenly change my mind and agree to date him after explicitly refusing to do it so many times in the past week? “Well, it’s because I— I really—” I was finding it hard to lie to him that I had feelings for him, the words wouldn’t just get past my throat. I really hope he would mistake my silence for cold feet. “You really what, Katherine?” He urged, his eyes still not leaving the road. I swallowed hard. Briefly shutting my eyes, I had to convince myself to say the wor
Alexander Walters I dropped Katherine back at the apartment and decided I would pay a visit to my parents and spend time at my family's house. However, what I didn’t envision was Samantha being there and waiting for me to arrive home. We almost had an argument concerning my whereabouts after school, being that our classes had ended long ago and I’m just arriving now, and when she asked my reasons I refused to answer. The next that followed was her throwing herself at me with a lip–lock kiss, and there was no way I can resist when someone as hot as Samantha has her lips on mine. And before we knew it, I already had her bent against the desk, giving her backshots as I thrust deep into her. “Harder, Alex!” She whined for me and I gave her exactly what she cried for. I quickened my pace, my grip on her waist guarding her towards me as I plunged deeper into her. The sound of my skin smacking against hers filled the room, it drove me fucking insane. “You like this, don’t you?” She n
Katherine Throne: After Alexander dropped me at home, I immediately went to my study desk to get started on studying. I have already missed out on a lot of work and I needed to catch up or else it would be detrimental to my top grades, and I can’t have my mother get another reason to lash out at me again. No, never. I was about an hour deep, buried in my books and study materials when I heard a knock on the door. I paused, arching my brows. The knock came again. I groaned before removing my reading glasses and got up from my desk, I made my way to the front door to see who it was. There were only a few people who knew about my new apartment and those were my father, I knew he wouldn’t come here without calling first; the second pers was Katie, and I know she still had late classes and was probably still at school; and the last person was my mother, but currently we’re not in speaking terms and I doubt if she’s happy to give me an unexpected visit again after what she
Katherine Thorne: “My parents are constantly fighting and it’s hard living in such an environment where all they do is constantly get at each other’s throat.” Alexander further explained. “These are the two people you’re supposed to love with all your heart and love the fact that they love each other dearly, but with them, it’s the exact opposite. They fight all the time and when they’re not fighting, they pretend they’re the most loving couple in the whole world.”He seemed like he had a lot to get off his chest so I kept shut, waiting for him to spill the content of his heart out before I say anything. “I mean, it’s so sickening. This moment they’re fighting and cussing out at each other, the very next one, they’re holding hands and putting up a dumb act of ignorance to show their marriage is working, which is a blatant and obvious lie.” He expressed it so vehemently, you could almost taste the raw emotion. “They’ve refused to get a divorce and I don’t know why. There’s nothing
