Uriel

Before I could open Able's photo, Mrs. Kelsey slammed a paper hard against my desk.

“You did poorly on your test again, Huxley. If you're not careful, you're going to night class,” she said.

The class let out a collective “woo” sound.

I glared at the F on my paper staring back at me. No way in hell am I going for a night class. My nights were strictly reserved for Able. Goddamnit! I needed to figure out a way out of this situation.

Cowering my head down, I pretended to be ashamed. “I

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   EPILOGUE: IS THIS SANE?

    Able”Come in," Oliver said, stepping aside for me. “Wow. This is truly a surprise. You haven't dropped by to visit in two months.”“I apologize. It's because I've been busy,” I said, stepping inside as my gaze caught the wedding photos hanging on the wall of Oliver and Evelyn.“I'm sorry about Evelyn,” I said, sinking low onto a couch. “I heard about the news quite late. It's such a shame. You two made a perfect couple.”“We did, didn't we? I guess nothing lasts forever,” Oliver said. “What can I offer you? Water, alcohol, or soda?”“Soda is fine, thank you.”Moving towards the fridge, Oliver turned the handle, pulling out a cold bottle of soda from the fridge onto a tray before placing it in front of me.“So, what have you been up to lately, Able?” Oliver asked.“Same old things. I'm still taking on random jobs that come my way.”He arched an eyebrow. “You know, if you'd like, I could talk to my boss for you and—”I cut him off right there. “For the thousandth time, Oliver, I'm not

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   IT'S BEEN A WHILE OLD FRIEND

    Able I don't know why I reacted that strongly towards the kid. That was a bad first impression, but watching him grab Uriel's wrist and pull her away triggered something inside me. “Jax, please leave. I'll be in class shortly,” Astrid pleads. “Do what you want,” Jax said. Then, he stormed out of my office without sparing a second glance. Immediately, Uriel's gaze swept the room. “Hold on. There should be a first aid kit here.” Uriel moved quickly on her feet, searching each and every corner of the office until she found it. Unboxing the kit, she immersed a piece of cotton wool in ethanol and then lightly dabbed it against the cut at the corner of my lips. I flinched. “Does it hurt?” she asked, holding my gaze. For a second, I saw a look of concern in her eyes. Like the coward that I am, I averted my gaze. “That kid, Jaxon, you know he likes you, right?” Her hands froze. “I know.” “Why don't you tell him straight to his face that you're not interested?” “I intend to

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   NOW, SCRAM

    Uriel “... Huxley! Uriel Huxley!“ A stern-looking Able called out, pulling me out of my thoughts. “You're Uriel Huxley, right?“ I straightened up against the chair, freezing temporarily not only because of the pressuring gaze of my peers on me but also because Able had spoken to me in public. Shit. How was I supposed to respond? “Y-Yes, I am,“ I stuttered. “Mrs. Kelsey told me you had a poor grade on your last test. I'd like to see you in my office right now. Maybe we could go over the certain topics you found extremely difficult in the course,“ he said. I stood to my feet. “I'd like that.“ Sweeping his gaze around the students, Able ordered, “The rest of you should do some solo study time until we get back.“ “That might take a while,“ Vivian teased, earning a collective laugh from the class. Strolling out of the classroom behind Able, I flicked Vivian the middle finger before walking through the front door. Proceeding down the hallway, we didn’t come to a stop until A

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   A FRIEND I FEEL SORRY FOR

    Uriel Tonight was the first time Able and I almost kissed. And we would have if my top hadn't been in the washing machine. When I got back home, I showered, hopped into bed, and stared at my phone, wondering when the "next time" he would call me over would be. What was he doing right now? Am I in his thoughts as much as he's in mine? A soft giggle escaped my throat. It's been forever since I felt this way toward anyone. “I wish he'd call,” I muttered, tapping my phone screen for the dying screen light to pop back on. “But he wouldn't, right?” My phone buzzed. It was an incoming text message from Able: “Goodnight,” it read. Sitting upright on my bed, a loud scream tore out of my throat before I could stop it. My father rushed inside my unlocked door with a bat in his hand. “What is it, Uriel? Is there a thief in here?” he rambled, partly awake. “False alarm, Dad. I just had a class pushed up earlier than usual.” He exhaled, lowering the bat. “That's a relief. Goodnigh

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   A SUBSTITUTE

    Able Immediately, I watched Uriel walk out the front door, and a low groan slipped out of my throat as my cock twitched, springing to life and itching to burst if I didn't get a release. Honestly, I know what I'm thinking is wrong. If I wanted to get laid so badly, I could have just taken Uriel's offer right then and there. But she didn't know what I was like in bed. I was showing her mercy by giving her more time to think things through; yet she kept letting her emotions cloud her judgment. My hands moved faster than my brain, grabbing my phone and calling the first number on my list of "favorites." She answered immediately. “Hey, pretty boy. It's about time you called.” “Come over. Now.” Without waiting for her response, I hung up, pacing the living room like a horny teenager. How could Uriel have this sort of effect on me? “Fucking hell,” I cursed, peeping at the wall clock every minute, watching time slowly go by. “Where is she?” Dialing her number again, the call wen

  • THE WIFE HE NEVER HAD, NOW HE REGRETS IT   I'VE MADE UP MY MIND

    Uriel “This is ridiculous!” I vented at a laughing Able after losing my third round of chess. “How is this supposed to make me feel any better when you keep winning?” I had also completely lost interest in the glass of orange juice in my hand. Leaning back against the couch's armrest, Able threw his hand up in surrender. “Hey, I didn't promise to let you win. I simply said I had a way to help you feel better, and you agreed to it. So, why the complaint?” That's because I thought you were going to kiss me senseless or fuck my brains out—not whip my ass over a stupid game of chess! I crossed my arms. “Whatever, I'm done playing this game.” “Fine. Let's go another round. This time, I promise to let you win.” I clicked my tongue. “Nah, I'm good.” Packing up the chessboard and setting it aside, Able focused his full-fledged attention on me. “So, are you going to finally let me know what's troubling you?” he asked. I feel like shit because the one guy that has ever express
