Liam:

The kiss ended, but the world didn't come back all at once. Cameras kept flashing, the band kept playing, reporters continued with their questions, and the fans cheered even harder, and none of it registered for a moment. I stood there, Violet in my arms, her lips barely inches from mine, and my breath came in shallow gasps like an idiot after a first kiss. The bottom line said fake; the woman in my arms was doing it to provoke her ex and me… All I could think is fake can never taste so g

  • Puck me. I’m yours   Chapter40

    Liam:Practice ran long that morning. Hendricks pushed us through drills until my legs felt like they belonged to someone else. By the time I got out of my gear, my phone had gone untouched since before sunrise, with no update from the burner number or the identity of the person behind it. It was Friday again, and for some reason I'd begun hating this day.Noon came sooner than I wanted, and like every Friday, I had a session with Caleb. Without delay, I rushed home, rinsed off the day's sweat and tiredness, then got into black jeans and a top before heading back out again. The drive was swift but silent; I wasn't in the mood for music, nor did I fancy the campus gossip updates.Caleb was inside, and I found his office with ease this time."Welcome, Carter," he said, showing me a seat, his other hand holding a pen. "Hmm," he groaned, and I found my way to the chair. Caleb gave me a little smile, but I could tell he was a little tense by the way the pen flipped between his fingers. The

    Violet:I don't know what to make of the text, so I didn't investigate, told no one, and buried it in a folder I would soon forget existed. Friday wasn't anything fun, with only my exam on the timetable. I quizzed myself while waiting for time to catch up, which it soon did. Two hours under high vigilance and scrutiny was enough to walk out with a filled paper. Staring down at my watch, time seemed to have fled without warning. It was already noon, with Liam's session coming up in two hours. I had nothing else to do, so I decided to stop at the office, and the first person who almost rushed out at the sight of me was Caleb."Girl, I've missed you," he lamented."Oh... okay," I stammered, not sure how well to answer. It wasn't like we'd known each other for long. Caleb pulled me into his office without delay and made me sit."Can you help me talk to your boyfriend?" he pleaded, batting his eyes like a cute puppy, and I couldn't help but laugh."Don't do that," I chuckled."Why, it work

  • Puck me. I’m yours   Chapter 38

    Violet:I waited with Amara, who stopped by and heard Liam was coming, and concluded Derek would be with him. For one thing, I couldn't wrap my head around why she likes troubling the young man. The shop wasn't busy, and with the new staff under Jess’s training, the new semi-boss was taking more pleasure in making him do almost everything while she sat with us, gave orders, laughed, and gossiped.“So how is your new job? We barely see you around these days,” Jess complained.“Well, nothing out of the ordinary,” I sighed, lazily sipping my coffee.“Yeah, nothing out of the ordinary, and your ex is your patient,” Amara scoffed, her eyes glaring at me as if I owed her an explanation.“What!” Jess gasped so loud that heads turned.“Keep it down; I am not supposed to discuss my patients.” I held a hand over Jess’s mouth, glaring at Amara.“Yeah, but aren't we supposed to discuss your ex?” I hated the direction this was heading, but it was too late to hold it from turning.“First Liam and n

    Liam:The moment Derek and I got into the car, he didn't start it. He just turned to me, eyes narrowed, like there was something on my face I wasn't aware of."What?" I asked, touching my face just to make sure nothing was actually there."The board just cleared you, you kept the letter, and you still look like a man waiting for a sniper?" I ran a hand back through my hair."It's nothing," I said, though the words didn't sound convincing, not even to my own ears."We're not doing the guessing game. You're going to tell me what's wrong, and I'm not finding out in a locker room this time." He said it flatly, no room in it."I already said I was sorry for that," I half groaned, and he raised an eyebrow, like he was daring me to prove I meant it."Fine." I tossed him my phone. He caught it, unlocked it, and fidgeted through it for a second before landing on the messages."You've got an unopened one from Violet," he murmured, holding it out to me."Keep looking." I pushed it back. He glance

    Liam:I showered, lay down, and stared at the ceiling for so long it lightened instead of darkening. I didn't sleep, despite counting more sheep than I could keep track of. Pulling on my running clothes, I dashed out of my apartment. The air was cold, and with the rainy season around the corner, shops had already closed early. Few people or cars were out on the road. I ran until I could no longer feel my legs, then sat down, tired, on the quiet pavement, breath coming in shallow gasps.All through my time with Violet, I hadn't thought about tomorrow's meeting once. Her company made me forget my own dread; her smile stuck in my mind, the way her lips had curled when she saw the pastry box. She hadn't said anything, but I'd noticed how long she'd stared at that particular shop, more than once, tilting her head back whenever we drove past it. And the hoodie. I thought about why I'd even bought it. Shopping was never my thing, but Derek dragging me into random purchases at the mall was p

  • Puck me. I’m yours   Chapter 35

    Violet:Time with Liam moved too quickly and too slowly, both at once. After dinner, we ended up at the night library. At first I thought he'd just come to borrow a book, but he walked to the shelves and came back with a stack that matched my course load, nothing about him at all. I watched him pull out a chair and drop three books on the table."We both read, and I'll quiz you in two hours.""What?" I blinked. "Is it going to take that long? How about an hour?"He stared at me, and for a second I forgot to breathe. "Quiz. Me.""You need the grades to top the chart, and now, with Caleb and the other top students in the mix, your chances at a referral after the internship are going to be tough. So start reading." He knew too much. So much, when I'd told him so little. I picked up one of the textbooks and flipped through the pages. For a minute I couldn't concentrate, staring at my own hands, fingers brushing over the words without a single one registering."Why are you doing this? You
