Chloe"Happy?" he asked, his deep voice instantly comforting me, confirming that this wasn't a dream."Shut it," I mumbled, burying my face in his chest before sighing and stepping back.I lightly smacked his chest, then ran a hand down my face. "You scared me," I told him with a serious tone. He shrugged, adjusting the beanie on his head before sitting on my bed. He opened his arms, silently inviting me, but I hesitated. Eventually, I gave in and walked closer to him. He took my hand, pulling me down until I was straddling his lap. My cheeks blushed intensely, and his arms encircled my waist, preventing me from getting up. He buried his face in my neck, letting out a sigh. "Stop doing that," I told him, pulling away to look at his face. He reached up, gripping both sides of my face with his hands."Don't let my lifestyle blind you," he said huskily, implying that I shouldn't let his actions change how I see him. To me, he would always be the same person."The gun... Why do you have i
Chloe As I was about to make my escape, the alarm suddenly blared, and to my surprise, instead of the usual water, paint sprayed from the roof in a myriad of colors. A mesmerizing blend of hues cascaded down, captivating me as they merged seamlessly. I instinctively kept my head down to shield my eyes from the paint and silently thanked my lucky stars that my bag was made of leather. Suddenly, hands gripped my waist, and when I glanced up, I found Hayden staring back at me. A burst of laughter escaped me as the paint drenched his hair, transforming him into a comical figure. Multiple shades dripped from his chin, and as I surveyed the surroundings, I realized that the floor was now covered in vibrant streaks.I couldn't help but smile; Hayden seemed oddly content with causing mischief. Cleaning this up would be quite a challenge. To my surprise, the teachers hadn't emerged yet, and I wondered why. Hayden lowered his head, bringing his lips tantalizingly close to mine. His minty b
ChloeHe emerged from the water, startling me to the point where I stumbled and fell onto the sandy beach. Clutching my chest, my breath grew rapid and uneven with fear. Closing my eyes, I remained lying down. When I reopened them, he was hovering above me, his hands planted on either side of my head, and his breath playfully caressed my face. Leaning down, his body pressed against mine, causing me to let out a small gasp. A mischievous smirk danced across his lips before he withdrew and stood up. Extending his hand, he reached down for mine, and I hesitantly accepted, allowing him to help me up. We walked together back to the top of the hill, and a mischievous idea formed in my mind. Hurrying back to the edge, I turned to him with excitement in my eyes. "You have to see this," I exclaimed, pointing down at the water below. He rolled his eyes but eventually made his way over.As he approached, I attempted to push him off the edge, but he barely budged, taking a step back as he reali
SlimI leaned against my car in the parking lot, waiting for the familiar sound of the bell to signal the end of the school day. Feeling restless, I absentmindedly touched the cut on my cheek, then reached for the cigarette I had tucked behind my ear. I lit it up and took a deep drag, letting the smoke fill my lungs before exhaling slowly. As the bell rang, I dropped the cigarette on the ground and extinguished it with my shoe. The doors swung open, and students spilled out, eager to escape the building. People approached me, much to my displeasure. Being popular seemed to make sense to others, but it held no appeal for me. I disliked social interactions of any kind, but I tolerated them.I glanced up and noticed her stepping out of the building. A silent laugh escaped her lips, and I felt a sense of ease wash over me. But that feeling quickly faded as I realized she wasn't alone. My gaze shifted away from her, and I saw Isaac Delton. We had never had any issues before, as our path
ChloeI leaned back in my seat, fifteen minutes later, and slumped before pulling one side of my earbuds out, glancing around the car. Kai was engrossed in his usual eating routine, Zeek focused on driving, Leah immersed in a book, and Lilly sat beside her boyfriend, who currently had a displeased expression directed at her.Yikes.I quickly redirected my gaze ahead, not wanting to invite his glare towards me. I scrolled through my phone, browsing through the collection of saved images. I had developed a fondness for aesthetic photos. It amazed me how a simple filter could make any picture captivating. Then, I stumbled upon pictures from my childhood-memories that brought a smile to my face.One photo stood out, capturing the moment my brother planted a kiss on my cheek. We were both covered in mud, as we often ventured outside after the rain, gleefully diving into the puddles. Our mother despised it, mainly due to the laundry aftermath. The memory brought a warm smile to my face,
ChloeI stepped outside, closing the door behind me before making my way down the hallway and descending a flight of stairs. Turning left, I entered the living room where everyone else was gathered, watching a movie. I walked over and sat between Zeek and Kai. Kai draped his arm over my shoulder and held up his phone for me to see."My Tinder date is next door," he said, winking at me, and I laughed."That's great, Kai," I replied, and his eyes lit up with happiness."I'm going to put my pickle in he-""That's great, Kai," I interrupted before he could finish, and he chuckled, rolling his eyes.I shifted my attention to the TV screen, realizing it was an action movie with the main character fighting to save his kidnapped love. I was engrossed in the movie until I noticed Hayden walking downstairs and leaving through the front door. I quickly got up and went outside, feeling the cold air against my cheek as I called out to him."Are you going out?" I asked, and he nodded, crossing his
Chloe We sat in silence for a while, and I leaned my head against his shoulder, feeling a wave of sleep wash over me. However, I didn't want to fall asleep there because it might be difficult for him to carry me inside. As if reading my thoughts, he leaned back and rubbed my back."Go ahead," his deep, nonchalant voice said, and I nodded, too tired to fight it at the moment.I didn't immediately drift off to sleep, and I was awake when he shifted me into a more comfortable position. This time, sleep claimed me instantly. When I woke up, I found myself in bed. As I sat up, the sheets fell into my lap, and I glanced around, realizing that I was alone. However, the empty space beside me indicated that I hadn't slept alone. I got up, made my way to the bathroom outside, took a shower, brushed my teeth, and then returned downstairs. Still, there was no one in sight, which puzzled me. I settled behind the counter and began eating a bowl of cereal. Just then, the back door swung open, and
ChloeHayden stood behind me, his breath carrying a faint hint of mint as it gently brushed against my neck. Normally, I despised people breathing down my neck, but this time, I didn't feel uncomfortable."I knew I saw them come here," a voice approached, drawing closer to the room we were in. Absent-mindedly, I took a step back and accidentally bumped into Hayden. Swiftly, he wrapped his arms around me, preventing me from falling. The door swung open, and my nervousness compelled me to reach down and squeeze his hand.A mischievous idea struck him. Hayden buried his face in my neck from behind, his fluffy hair tickling my skin, and I struggled to stifle a giggle.Intentionally, he nuzzled his face, fully aware of the effect it had on me. Then, his lips touched my neck, soft and cold, causing a wave of sensation to surge through me. I nearly fainted as he sucked gently on the sensitive spot. His arms tightened, ensuring I couldn't escape, and I forgot about the presence of others hu
