ELIOT'S POV

I've long waited for this moment.

This exact moment when she'll walk in, when I'll see her. Finally see her, talk to her and just… just see her.

And my world… none of it could compare. My anticipation, anxiety, imaginations that wouldn't even let me sit still at the office, back at the house or even right here in court. None of it could compare to the absolute dazzling, shiny and intoxicating figure stepping into the hall.

Her.

Every step she took, the stupidly dull hall just faded away in accordance. Showing respect cause it couldn't possibly stand still in her presence. As she soaked the entire space. Perfect, just like her.

I couldn't even decide if it was the dress she had on, the God damned sheer white fabric that did nothing but reveal all the perfect curves of that heavenly body. Wrapping all over her skin like a mattress. Not a skin shown, everywhere was covered, top to ankles but yet!

Yet… merely looking at her did things to me. So many things, and none involved

    SERENA'S POV "What? No way," I shook my head, flabbergasted. "No way. That's... that's impossible. Why will he— why will he do that?"Eliot.My eyes went to the screen again, my breath caught. Pulse heavy now, hands quick to scroll down to read more of the post. It was his most recent one. Had tons of comments accumulating, several of them adding up as I watched the screen but my eyes remained focused on the lines. The words in between..."I'd have to explain how I know that, and I didn't want to. I didn't want to explain why I knew,Or admit how closely I had been paying attention long before I was supposed to be.So I didn’t send it.And convinced myself silence was safer.That’s the pattern, isn’t it?Me choosing silence.Control.Calling it strength.When in reality, it was all fear.Fear of how easily you dismantle me.How much power you have over me without even trying.How small I feel that I want you...I want you."I shuttered, the words sinking in. Raw. "I thought I coul

    SERENA'S POV Soon it became dark outside, the cool breeze getting chill. Forcing me back into the house, my room, managing a light dinner while at it cause really, I couldn't starve all day. Even if I had no appetite.Afterwards there was nothing left to do. Besides the obvious that is.Reach for my laptop. The same sleek device I'd been avoiding to begin with. At the end, there was no use running. It had to happen at some point. I had to see them again.Those words, sentences, posts... his posts. And as I did— turned on my laptop, notifications rushed in like rain. Every comment, tags, reposts, filled the air. Welcoming me right back to the disaster I had ran away from.Last time, I was almost knocked off by the sheer intensity of everything. The speculations, reasoning of the commenters and now? I didn't feel any better.My pulse raced with anticipation underneath my skin. My lips pressed in a firm line, quiet. Fingers itching and twitching as I remained seated on my bed. My sof

    SERENA'S POV "Please do come again next time, Sir." The maître d’ said with a polite smile to Axel, handing over the freebies he received. Cause apparently, he'd made today's reservation about 2 months ago. Meaning he'd planned this for a long time. That should make me excited or feel good at least, right? But it didn't. How could it? When a certain somebody had abandoned the reason for him being present in this restaurant, instead, focusing all his attention on us. Me and Axel. Practically burning holes into the side of my face from how hard he was glaring. He didn't even bother to hide it. Didn't move from his spot either. Wonder how long he'd been there before I spotted him. But he did look good though. Really good with his hands tucked into his pockets, a phone in hand as he stood in the glass valet call stand, like he owned the entire place. His stare burned hot against my skin, impossible to ignore and making all the more uncomfortable as I stood still. My fingers

    SERENA'S POV "I could be. You don't know that.""Oh hell I do." I smirked, "I most definitely do. No mistakes about that Blondie."His breath hitched, offended but amused. "Blondie? Why do you keep calling me? Where did that come from?""I've always called you that. You're just noticing?""I am,""Then you better go purchase that ear cleaning device your assistant recommended to you."He laughed, hard. Not expecting my words, his head tilting back, blue eyes twinkling."You're teasing me now? You're joining them to 'drag' my ears?"I shrugged, trying not to laugh but failing. "You're the one who complained about not hearing properly. This now proofs it, so... Yeah.""What?" He leaned forward, hands reaching for me. Wanting to pinch at my skin like he usually did, but I only leaned backwards. Escaping him, our laughter filling the air. "You're
