Chapter 29
Autumn POV
It was weird. Yes, that would be the word I used to describe watching my best friend and a guy I had only known for a week sit on the couch and talked about Ireland. First, I did not know my best friend knew so much about Ireland and Irish people. Second, when I’d opened my door for him earlier, I would have never thought that he and Jess would click almost instantly.
Sure, I had filled her in with what had happened between me and Frazier earlier but I had not expected her to like him, especially knowing that he had been the reason Ty and I had broken up.
“--Yeah, Niall performed there too when he was a kid. I think it was a fundraiser for the local football team. I couldn’t remember the name, though,” spoke Jess like a true fan.
I was feeling le

I could tell that I was falling, way before my ass hit the ground. The first thing that popped into my head was the Ben & Jerry’s in my hand. I had to do something to save the ice cream from dropping to the ground into a massive puddle so I held it up with both hands and prayed that I would have a soft landing.It seemed that I didn’t need any landing after all since one pair of arms had stupidly thrown away the picnic basket and snaked their way around my waist. I blinked a few times as I looked up to meet his steely gray eyes. “Are you alright?” he asked in his British-Irish-American accent. An accent that, I now realized, was probably only belonged to him.When we’d first met, I thought he sounded like a combination of Harry Styles and Chris Hemsworth, which was ridiculous since Chris was not British, Irish, nor American. It would have made more

I chewed and swallowed. “What do you mean?” I tried to take another tiny bite and refrained from eating like someone who hadn’t seen pizza in years.“When I visited William, I have told you this the other day. I have met you back when you were still in Carlton High.” He finished his pizza and downed his wine. “Remember that time when you saved Everly from drowning?”“Everly? Why did that name sound so familiar?” I spent one full minute searching this name in my brain database but found none. “Who is Everly?”He laughed. “She is Nathaniel’s little sister,” he provided the answer yet I still could not figure out the story. “Cunningham Falls? Remember anything?” I shook my head shyly as I blamed my brain for not immediately recalling what he was referrin

Tyler POVI stood by the window and looked out at Empire State Building beyond. The street was quite packed, filled with people roaming around Fifth Avenue and 23rd Street. Below, the sound of traffic drifted upward to the sixth floor, even with having the windows closed, I could still manage to hear the noise.My hand reached for the Heineken sitting on the floor beside me. I raised the beer to my lips and tipped my head back as I swallowed hard, past the sudden constriction in my throat. “Fuck!” I cursed under my breath. I’d promised myself that I would not cry, that I would not regret anything. Yet again, saying something and actually doing it were two different things.I raised the beer to my mouth and took a long drink, hoping that somehow alcohol would make me forget what I’d done. Or if it couldn’t, then hopefully I would be drunk e

Frazier POV“Airhead. Blockhead. Bonehead. Pea brain. Cretin. Dimwit. Dumbbell. Dunce. Fool. Ignoramus. Imbecile. Jerk. Moron. Muttonhead. Nincompoop. Ninny. Nitwit. Oaf. Pinhead. Simpleton. Stupid. Tw-”“Are you okay?” A voice interrupted my series of mentioning any word in my vocabulary that was a synonym for stupid.I looked over my shoulder and saw Corbin walking in with a backpack slung over one shoulder. His hair was wet and I could tell that it was from the rain outside. “Where were you?” I walked to the lockers on one side of the wall and grabbed a clean towel then tossed it in his direction.He caught the towel with one hand and muttered, “thanks”, before wiping off his face and drying his hair. “I was

Autumn POV“Okay, I guess this will have to do.” I stared at the small luggage beside my right thigh. I gave the surroundings one last look as I mentally tried to remember if I accidentally had forgotten about something. Once I was sure that I had turned off the gas and locked the windows and sliding glass door to the balcony, I turned off the lamp and headed for the door.I swung the door open and plowed head-first into a broad chest covered in a white shirt and black coat. I lifted my gaze up until my eyes met his grey eyes and I suddenly remembered that first night when he’d caught me lying about where I lived. That night I ran to him the same way I did tonight, nearly knocking him off with my head (although, who was I kidding, he was pretty well-built, if anything, I would be the one who fell to the ground).
Resisting the Irresistible Chapter 35
Autumn POVI had no clue how long I had slept, but by the time my eyelids fluttered open, I noticed that in my sleep I had accidentally put my head on his left shoulder. Carefully I lifted my head and turned to see him, still sleeping with his lips slightly parted.Even with his eyes closed, there was a frown on his forehead, almost as if he was pondering about something while he was sleeping. It made me wonder if he truly was. Somehow I had the urge to smoothen his forehead. Just when my hand went up, trying to wipe that frown away, he opened his eyes. Those grey eyes bore into mine and a small smile slowly appeared on his lips. “Hi, luv. Do you like what you see?”I rolled my eyes. “Keep dreaming.”“Well, I can tell you for sure that
Resisting the Irresistible Chapter 36
Autumn POV “Seriously, Autumn. I don’t know how you could simply throw away those two years for a guy you just met!”At Steven’s last sentence, I snapped. “Do you think I wanted it to end? I was not the one lying, I was not the one making shit up when in reality, I was actually meeting my ex.” I let out a long exasperated sigh and grabbed a glass of champagne off the tray, ignoring the startled waiter.I knew I had told myself that I would stay away from alcohol and that alcohol did not mend a broken heart yet right now, I felt that alcohol would be the only thing that would calm me down. Maybe I would become an alcoholic. I cursed under my breath as I swallowed the bubbly drink, letting the coolness soothe my troubled mind like iron on a disheveled laundry.
Resisting the Irresistible Chapter 37
Autumn POV“You look like someone who needs a drink.”I turned and saw Phraser holding two glasses of champagne, one in each hand. “Pfft,” I took one glass and twirled my wrist. “Why, because my ex brings a new girlfriend that is not the same girl he left me for?” I couldn’t help the sarcastic tone laced in my sentence.He chuckled. “To better days,” he put his glass forward and I clinked mine with his.We both took a drink, enjoying the champagne in silence. “Cas is worried about you,” said Phraser as he took a seat on the empty chair beside me.I finished the remaining champagne in one go and put the empty glass on the table. “And you’re not?&rd
