LOGINVera's POVI slowly lifted my head, still trying to shake off the shock of almost falling. My hazel eyes met a pair of familiar green ones.Peter.A smile spread slowly across his face. "That was a dramatic way of greeting me." A low chuckle left him, and I could actually feel the vibration from his chest, that's how close I still was to him."You know I can bite you." I narrowed my eyes at him playfully, pointing a finger at his face.His smile widened. "Oh?" He leaned in a little. "I would like to see you try."I gasped dramatically. "So, now you're challenging me?""I think I am."A laugh escaped both of us. I gently pushed against his chest, freed myself from his hold, and took a step back."My goodness." I rubbed my forehead, frowning slightly. "Your body is literally as hard as a rock."Peter glanced down at himself before lifting his eyes back to mine. "I'll take that as a compliment."I gave him a long side eye. "It wasn't."He placed a hand over his heart. "That hurts.""I ho
Vera's POVBeep.The sound pulled my attention away from the cartoon on the television. I reached for my phone without thinking and unlocked the screen. The moment I opened my messages, my eyes went wide."The heck."A nervous laugh slipped out as I read Queen's message again, just to be sure I wasn't imagining it.[I forgot to tell you that we have tests on Monday.]"You've got to be kidding."I stared at the screen for another second before my fingers moved fast across the keyboard.[Why am I just hearing about this?]The little dots appeared almost right away. Queen was typing.[We always write test on the third week of each term.]My eyes rolled. [They could have said it at the beginning of the week.]Another message popped up. [I think they forgot to announce it earlier. It was announced during elective classes on Friday.]"Oh, great." I dragged a hand down my face. Just perfect.I typed again. [Oh shoot! I haven't started reading. I have to study all the subjects this weekend wh
Vera's POV"Andrea?" Surprise flashed across my face. "What are you doing here?"Andrea smiled warmly, his hand dropping from my shoulder. "Hi, Vera." His eyes settled on mine. "It's nice to see you."A small smile appeared on my lips. "You too."For a brief second, neither of us spoke. I just looked at him, trying to figure out why he was here."Yo, Andrea."Liam's voice broke the silence. Andrea turned his head toward the jacuzzi, and my eyes followed his movement. Liam had just stepped out of the water. The trail of water dripping down his body and his wet short clung to his body. I couldn't help but gulp slightly as my eyes stayed on his lower region for a second. Then he grabbed the towel off a nearby chair, rubbing his wet hair with it as he walked toward us."The heck are you doing here, bro?" Liam asked, a grin spreading across his face.Andrea laughed. "Came to hang out." He walked farther in until he reached Liam, and both of them raised their hands. Their palms met in a f
Vera's POV“So?” I asked with my eyes never leaving him.“You should pay for lying to me,” He looked at the parfait cup in his hands and then his eyes came to rest on my face. “And making me take the flavor I didn't pick for myself.”"C’mon Liam." I said with a little laugh in my voice but…His face stayed the same, he didn't mirror the laugh. “You're serious.” A smirk lined his lips immediately.Pay in what way? Then a sly smile came up my lip.“How do you want to be paid back? A kiss?” I poked my lips out playfully but obviously serious.A small smile came to sit on his face.“Or a seductive dance?” I said as I bit my lips as I sat on my knees and looked him up and down in a suggestive way.I really was having my fun right now.The smile on his face came off, his eyes stayed on me for a brief second. Without another word, he turned and walked toward the stairs, the parfait still in his hand. “What the heck was that reaction!” I said loud enough for him to hear, but he didn't turn
Vera's POVKnock. Knock. A deep groan escaped my lips.Who was knocking on my door this early?I squeezed my eyes shut and turned onto my other side, pulling the pillow closer.The knocking didn't stop. It came again, softer this time.Knock. Knock."Argh..." I groaned into the pillow. "It's too early."I buried my face deeper before raising my voice."Who is there?"The door opened, and soft footsteps came into my room. Then I heard the familiar voice that answered my question before I even finished asking it."Good morning, darling."I slowly rolled onto my back and rubbed my sleepy eyes with the back of my hand before I finally opened them.My mum stood beside my bed. She was already dressed in one of her loose, comfortable outfits, the kind she always wore when she planned to stay home. Her hair was neatly tied back, and the smile on her face hadn't changed one bit."It's Saturday, Mummy." I pouted. "And it's still early."She laughed softly and sat down beside me on the bed, res
Vera's POVHis eyes stayed on mine without blinking, searching my face like he was trying to read my mind."What do you mean?" he asked quietly.A smile spread slowly across my lips. "You know, I don't have to explain."I finished with a playful wink, then leaned closer before he could even respond. The space between us disappeared, and I pressed a soft, quick kiss to his lips. It lasted only a second, but it was enough to get his eyes fixed on me.Then I pulled back."If you want more of that," I said, my voice teasing, "my room is open."I held his gaze a moment longer. His lips parted like he wanted to say something, but nothing came out. I smiled to myself, then reached for the door handle."See you later."I stepped out of the car and shut the door gently behind me. Standing in the driveway, I lifted my hand and gave him a small wave. He still hadn't moved. I turned and started up the steps toward the mansion, glancing back once halfway there. His car had finally started driving
Vera's POV "I saw him with a new girl, Anita." My eyes would not leave Andrea across the crowded party hall. A blonde girl was sitting on his lap while he whispered something into her ear that made her laugh very loudly. My chest hurt badly. After I lost my dad in a fire accident when I was fourte
Vera's POV His head snapped toward me just for a second. Then he looked back at the road. He held the steering wheel so tight I was sure the poor thing might break. "I just asked you a question." His jaw moved, and that was it. No words, no explanation… nothing. Like I wasn't in the same space w
Vera's POV"Yes, I am."I replied before I even thought about the words I said."Welcome." She said, still with that warm smile on her face.She stepped aside to give me enough space to enter.I walked into the office."Off you go to class, Liam." I heard her say the words behind me.I didn't look
Vera's POVLiam stopped moving right away. His face showed clear surprise. His hand pulled away from my waist so fast, like my skin had burned him."What are you doing here, Sarah? We broke up, remember?"His voice sounded more shocked than guilty.My chest was still moving up and down fast from ev
