Risking it Chapter Sixteen
It was finally Sunday, meaning the last day of our tiny little vacation at the cottage. These three days have been absolutely blissful and I enjoyed every moment that I spent with him which of course included a lot of sex but I wanted to get to know more about him. "So are you a single child?" I asked him as I got off the bed that morning and started to wear one of his t-shirt."I have an elder sister, Jude. She is married and lives in Florida now." He replied with lazy voice as he rolled over to look at me."What about your parents?""They live here in New York. My dad has retired so he and my mom have started to travel and enjoy themselves." He smiled as he spoke about them and I couldn't help but wonder if it was only me who was cursed with a wretched family. "Wow, that's so cool." I gave him a small smile as I pulled my hair up in a loose bun."Yeah, what's with all the questions?" he asked, giving me a confused look and I sat on the bed, letting out a small sigh."I know you s
Risking it Chapter Seventeen
“Why do you look sad, Hazel? Did you break up with Jayden?”I gave Anna a glare as I stopped wiping the glasses.“Can you mind your own business for once?” I snapped angrily and with that she shut her mouth and continued to do her work. Beth was having a date night with Mason as usual and it was just me and Anna bartending tonight.I haven’t spoken to Jayden for the last two days and I was worried sick about him but at the same time I could understand that he was not having a regular job like me. He runs multiple companies and it can be hectic and stressful.“Can I get one of your signature drink?” I heard a deep yet familiar voice and looked up to find Zach sitting in front of me with a warm smile on his face. I was seeing him only now since last week and I didn’t know how to react immediately.“I...Hi..yeah sure,” I stuttered like a fool but started to prepare his drink. There was an awkward silence between us and the bar was not that much crowded as it was a weekday.“I haven’t see
Risking it Chapter Eighteen
The apartment was empty when I arrived and I went straight inside my room to cry my heart out. What was I even thinking? I tried to kiss Zach and he rejected me. He must think I'm a fucking whore for throwing myself at him at the slightest inconvenience. I hated Jayden and I hated myself for being in a situation like this. This is why I never do serious relationships. It's a pain in the ass.I ignored the calls and messages from him and switched off my phone before crying myself to sleep until a loud knock on the front door woke me up with a jerk and I looked up at the clock hanging on the wall in front of me. It was 1.45 am.I was pretty sure that it wasn't Beth. She usually stays at Mason's place if it gets late and she has her own set of keys as well. I got up from my bed and looked at myself in the mirror. My face and eyes were all red and puffy from the crying and I quickly wiped the smudged mascara from the corners of my eyes. "What if it's him?" I whispered to myself and wa
Risking it Chapter Nineteen
"Zach!" I almost shouted in suprise as I had no idea why he was here given how awkward things were last night. If anything, I'm the one who should apologise for trying to kiss him at the slightest inconvenience like a whore."Listen about last night..." He started to talk and looked down, scratching the back of his head."I know, Zach. I'm really so sorry. I wasn't thinking straight and I was sad." I finished it for him as I didn't want to relive the moment through him again. I had damaged my reputation in the most horrible way possible and it was hard to make things right now. "No. God, no! You don't have to apologise for anything. I just didn't want you to think that I.." He stopped talking all of a sudden and went still, looking behind me and that's when I realised Jayden was right there. "What's going on here?" I heard his deep voice as he came and stood beside me, half naked with his pants hanging loosely around his waist and his arm wrapped around my shoulders. Fucking hell!
Risking it Chapter Twenty
When you are in love, nothing matters to you except that person. Not even the red flags because you convince yourself it won't happen again but it will happen again and you will always end up being wrong. It happened to me as well.I knew Jayden had a temper when I told him about Zach but I convinced myself that his reaction was acceptable given the fact I hurt him but what I didn't know was that, it wasn't a one time thing.Things were pretty normal since the past week. Jayden and I have become inseperable, we were offically dating but it was not established in the media as he wanted to settle things with Mallory's dad first and it would also look bad for his reputation to jump into another realationship immediately. His words. I loved spending every single moment with him. The passion between us was fucking unreal and we were hardly able to keep our hands off each other. I stayed with him most of the nights and Beth didn't mind it as she was staying with Mason as well. As for Zac

After our little argument with my clothes, I was pretty upset throughout the whole car ride but Jayden somehow convinced me and got me in a good mood.We made out in his car before entering the club. That's how, my inner self mocked at me.I walked inside with Jayden by my side and he had his arm around my waist in a protective manner.

Just when I was about to look away, our eyes locked with each other and I sucked in a deep breath.Fuck!He ran his eyes all over my body and his eyes lingered for a bit longer than usual at my waist where Jayden's hand was present. It's been so long since we spoke to each other and I missed him. I could see from the way he was looking at me that he missed me as well. But the question was, did he miss me
Risking it Chapter Twenty Two
I was the first one to walk out of the booth, controlling my tears before anyone could react and I knew I couldn't go home as I had to work the next shift so I chose the only place where I would be alone in this whole building. The terrace. I was greeted by the cold wind as soon as I stepped walked inside the terrace and hugged myself with my arms, feeling cold, sad, alone and heartbroken. I walked further towards the right to find a decent spot on the concrete floor where I could sit down. I could see the entire city from where I was sitting. I always come here whenever I feel low because the view of the whole city makes me think that my problems are so small compared to it. I felt fresh tears flowing down my cheeks without my knowledge and I squeezed my eyes shut.I realised at that moment that I was more angry at myself than Jayden for being so weak, for being so ignorant of his actions and also for loving him even when he treated me like shit. I knew I deserved better and I dese
