- HAZEL - A sad smile formed on my lips as I stared at the door knob leading to my room. I want to go in but at the same time, I don't want to. I just want to sit outside for as long as I can and relax while enjoying the midnight breeze. While trying to get my mind off everything and anything. Probably listening to music as well. A sigh escaped my lips. I really just want to be alone with my thoughts. My fingers wrapped the door knob, well, here's to hoping they're all asleep. I bent the knob but nothing happened. The door is locked. Shit. I forgot that I didn't take my key along with me. Ugh! Now I have to wake someone up. I knocked on the door gently so as not to disturb other people in other rooms, mainly those who are asleep. No one answered the door. Are they asleep or not in the room? I don't know why the thought made me feel weird and think about something else. I've met a lot of people and gotten over them, some quicker than others but why then can't I Get over Killian?
- HAZEL - I went to his class alright and submitted all my assignments to my lecturers after his period. My lecturers seemed rather pleased to see me with the complete assignments but told me to wait for a week for feedback. That kept me on my toes but it's only natural to follow protocol after skipping lectures. I would hate it if this reflects badly on my grade so for the meantime, patience is my middle name!I sighed and stared ahead at the lady teaching. My mind has been everywhere else but on her and whatever she's doing and that is seriously worrying but I think my mind is too stressed to pay attention to anything. Thankfully, this is the last period for the day and I'll have two days of rest. For now, I just have to try not to doze off and pretend to be following the things she says. It's annoying but I don't have a choice. My arm is resting on the edge of my seat and two fingers are supporting my head to stay straight. I checked the time on my phone and raised a brow, tired
- KILLIAN - It's getting late. All the work I have to do later tonight will be a pain in the ass once I finish up here, drop Kate off and get back home but I can't complain. It's part of the duties of a loyal fiancé. I took a bite from the steak on our table. Right now, we're in a grill house. I still find it odd that she drinks but I can't possibly stop her since she's past the age for drinking. Unless it gets unbearable. I almost puked when the taste sunk in my teeth. It's raw. I leaned over to grap some serviettes and spat the piece of meat in there and folded the serviette. Kate can't cook. She didn't even grill this properly. This will definitely be a reminder never to let her in my kitchen once we start living together. I made a face. I can still taste the raw spices and steak in my mouth. I glanced at the table. It's a good thing there's beer. Putting all the pieces of steak back on the grill, I fed myself a lot of beer just to get the taste out of my mouth. I hate beer
- HAZEL -I have to say that I'm having fun. Sometimes, all a girl needs besides sex is her crazy roommates to boost her ego to do something crazier. Yes, I said what I said. Ash clonked her glass with mine, holding her phone to her face. She's taking pictures of our drinks. I shouldn't have alcohol but it's weekend so I think tonight, I get a free pass. Plus, who has a problem with sneaking alcohol into a milkshake in a bar?"Let's take a selfie." Ash said, leaning close to my face. She closed an eye and pouted, holding her drink close to her face, below her jaw. I looked at the camera with a dull expression on my face, trying to mimick sleepy eyes. She tapped the circle on the lower part of the screen twice. Ash stared at the picture on her phone. "This is so good. I'm posting this on my story." I sipped some milkshake out of my straw. "Sure. Works for me." I gulped and stared across the bar looking for Jasmine and Savory. I took my phone out of my purse to check the time. It's g
- KILLIAN -I stepped into the bar with a firm expression on my face. My jaw tightened just by sighting this place, I hate it already. I ran my eyes around, trying to find her. She's not in sight. It is kind of frustrating to think she's with another man, probably doing unholy things. But come on, who am I kidding? What do I know about that? I sighed and dug my hand into my pocket to bring my phone out and clicked on Tinder. It's the only means of communication I have with her. After tonight, I don't give a fuck how I feel, I will take her number. Just to have it and be a call away. Maybe I'll give her mine. The thought choked me. I'd rather not but when she pulls a stunt like this, I think it's only reasonable. I took a deep breath in and texted her. 'I'm here.' I sent the message. And I'm angry. My fists clenched as I gazed around the bar, still trying to locate Hazel. A normal bar is meant to be for drinking yet this one looks like it's meant for hooking up. God knows I want
- HAZEL - He did not just tie me up and lock me in his trunk. I can't believe Killian. DID HE EVEN THINK OF HOW I'D BREATHE?!After a long drive, my throat hurt and I got tired of screaming. I also couldn't reach my phone so I dished that thought too. He's meant to be with Kate, what changed? I swallowed as the car came to a halt. Did I seriously send my nude to my best friend's fiancé? Shit. How dumb could I have been? I mean, I'm and I was drunk but not that drunk. I heard footsteps and noises. Soon, strong arms came in sight as they pulled the trunk open and I stared at the bearer. As expected, it's no other person than Killian. "I'm home. Enjoy the ride?" He asks with a sly grin on his face. I can tell he's enjoying this a little too much. My brows creased. "Fuck you." He chucked. Killian grabbed my phone and purse then drew me out roughly. "Be gentle, you asshole!" I yelled but I doubt he's having any of it. I scoffed. I don't care if he's my professor but outside campus
- HAZEL -I sigh and roll to the other side. My eyes are still shut and I'm desperately trying to sleep. I'm so tired yet despite my efforts, I can't. I don't know if he just gave me a phobia for tiny spaces or if my actions still freak me out but I know my thoughts keep me from having a good night rest. I rolled back till my back rested on the bed and my body was flat. I'm staring at the ceiling. My eyelids slid open and I sighed again. This will surely be a long night. If I can't sleep, I most definitely can do something to keep me company. My eyes ran around the plain grey walls in this room. I scoffed. This man sure loves grey. Or was it me who came up with using the colour grey? I can't remember and it's a good thing. This proves I'm moving on. Moving on would be a lot more easier if I am not in his house. Alone with him, again. I clenched my fists on the duvet over my body and raised it up to look at my legs. I'm wet as fuck too. Of course I won't do anything, in fact, h
- HAZEL -I still can't sleep. This time, it's not insomnia or thoughts keeping me awake, nor is it the noise from the tv. I sigh, well, it partially is. Just knowing he'd rather stay up all night than join me crushes my soul. I'm not asking for anything intimate, even if I want that, just a hug will do. I sigh and rolled to the side, clutching my hands under my pillow. Although it's so tempting to want more. It's so tempting to be self centered just this once. My body folded and I wrapped my arms around each other. It's cold. His windows are open and I think he likes it this way, despite the curtains being pulled shut. I ran my eyes around his bedside. There's no clock or anything here and I'm not with my phone so I don't know what the time is, but I won't be surprised if it's a few minutes to five am. I am so fatigued but unlike before, I'm self cautious. Am I that bad to share a bed with? Or is this just his way of avoiding me?"Not tired yet?" I ask, murmuring. My voice quivere
