Chapter 54: Returning HomeNight’s P.O.VI went into the washroom to sprinkle some water on my face as Kai had gone to drop Saya off to the bus stop, in case the creepy guy decided to show up all of a sudden.I may not admit it in front of Kai, at least not yet, but I did realize that I had judged him unfairly and that too because of who he was in the past.Of course, Kai was a major player. He had slept with women left, right and centre and never cared about a real relationship with anyone, not even Ruby. But Kai wasn’t the only one who had been into casual hookups and no-strings one-night stands.I had been just like him.But that all had changed the second our eyes met in that washroom, that night at the club when he had closed the door to protect our privacy. There had been something between us ever since, an unspoken connection that had passed between us from that very first eye contact, and no matter what, I couldn’t shake off the feeling that our connection was nothing ordinary
Chapter 55: RevelationNight’s P.O.V“You insolent bastard!” Were the first words that my father greeted me with.“Do you have any idea how worried we were? Where on earth is your phone? Why didn’t you answer my calls or your mother’s calls since yesterday? Why didn’t you answer Rosalie?”I looked behind my father at Rosalie, who immediately averted my eyes, telling me that she hadn't told either mine or her parents about the visit she made to my apartment before making her presence known to our parents.“Look at me when I’m talking to you!”This time, my father roughly grabbed onto my jaw before violently jerking my head to force me to face him.I felt my eyes widen slightly when I looked into his eyes. The anger and resentment were clear in them, and what was worse was that my mother did nothing to stop him like she usually would, and from the looks of it, even Rosalie’s parent’s were enjoying the show.“Where is your phone?” He asked again, his grip tightening on my jaw. “Answer me
Chapter 56: RepercussionsKai’s P.O.VThe moment I walked into the balcony, the stench of cigarette smoke entered my nostrils and I started to cough, almost dropping the drinks I was holding.“Night! What the hell!” I waved my free hand in front of my face to move the wisps of smoke in the other direction, but it did little to help get rid of the awful stench. “Since when do you smoke?”“I don’t.” He sighed, extinguishing the half-burnt bud onto the railing before discarding it in the bin next to him. “I quit when I joined college, but it seems old habits die hard.”“What do you mean?” I asked, handing him a bottle of beer before I stood beside him on the railing of terrace, overlooking the woods below and the lake in the distance. “What made you start smoking?”“All the shit I keep dealing with in my life.” He shrugged nonchalantly, so I pressed the cool glass to his cheek, where there was already a bruise forming. “OW! What the hell, you son of a-”I couldn’t help but chuckle when h
Chapter 57: Moving InLandon’s P.O.V “Do you think Night and Kai are gonna be alright?” Devon stood leaning against the doorjamb as I stood at the balcony, putting out the clothes to dry.The early morning air was cool and crisp against my skin and the sun shore brightly, promising a bright new day. However, I couldn’t help but feel like there were ominous clouds lurking in the horizon and that everything could take a dark turn at any given point.Last night, Kai had called us along with Night to let us know what had gone down at Night’s house earlier that evening, and I wasn’t really surprised at what had happened in all honesty. Because I’d known Night most of my childhood and they hadn't always been the strict, abusive parents they are now.They used to love Night and care about him, spoil him rotten even, which was why he grew up to be a tad arrogant as well…that was until he came out to them as gay and everything changed in a blink of an eye.Night had told me that his parents h
Chapter 58: A New GigNight’s P.O.V“There! Now that looks a lot better.” I stood back to admire the new bed, glad that the room looked a lot better than what it used to be.“Seriously, Night! You didn’t have to buy a new bed!” Kai sighed, running a hand through his hair before he wiped away at the perspiration beading his forehead. “It’s really expensive.”“All you had was a mattress and a closet.” I told him, pointedly. “Adding a few pieces of furniture won’t be a bad thing and since I’m being the freeloader, the least I can do is add to the décor.”Kai had been able to move out of the dorm successfully and now insisted on paying the rent on my behalf. Since the apartment wasn’t all that big, and it was still ten minutes away from campus, so the rent was considerably cheaper as well. However, that didn’t make me feel all that good about being a burden to Kai.I knew why he was doing this, and as much as I admired him for trying to protect me, I was still as independent as I was befo
Chapter 1: Eyes off of YouKai’s P.O.VIf my best friend came up to me one day and told me he was gay…I’d probably be fine with it. I’d probably even support him…even though watching my friend with his ‘boyfriend’ in public might still be uncomfortable for me and it might even cause a strain on my relationship with him, no matter how progressive I try to be or how much the world has changed.I’d always been firm in my beliefs. I’d always believed I was meant to be who I was and I knew exactly who I liked.Trust me; I had nothing against the LGBTQ+ community, as long as they had nothing to do with me. I’d seen men kissing other men. I had seen girls getting down and dirty in the club. They had been a pleasant show. Especially when I watched two hot as hell women kiss each other in the club, it had low-key made me want to join them as well.But watching two men kiss each other like they were doing now? Watching them explore and touch? It had never really been my thing. Maybe because it
Chapter 2: Hello…Dorm-mate Kai’s P.O.V He raised his eyebrows questioningly and I realized I was standing completely still like an idiot as the elevator doors opened behind me. “Sorry.” I murmur under my breath while balancing Cole’s weight on my shoulders. But I must have underestimated his weight because the moment I turned to get into the elevator, I tripped over my own legs and almost went crashing down onto the floor. “Watch out!” The next thing I know, I’m being hauled up into a standing position with a hand on my waist as the man from earlier rushed in for my rescue. “Thanks.” My voice came out more of a whisper as I looked up at his face, meeting hazel eyes that looked more green than brown from this close. There were a few golden specks thrown in those orbs as well, but what I noticed most was just how handsome he was. His skin was all clear, a light golden in color that became even more prominent in the overhead light. “No worries,” his lips tilted up in a slight sm
Chapter 3: I’d do You Kai’s P.O.V “Hello there…dorm-mate.” I stared at his hand like it was some kind of a foreign object, before my eyes reached up to meet his. Dorm-mate? The man that I saw this evening in the club…hooking up with another man inside the washroom stall…was now going to be my…dorm-mate? “Did you wash your hands?” Fuck it, Kai! Did you wash your hands? Was that seriously the first fucking thing you could come up with? “Do you take a bubble bath every time you fuck a girl?” Night dropped his hand to his side but tilted his head to the side, giving me a narrow-eyed look. “N-no…” wow…that got awkward real quick. “Then why did you expect me to do that?” His eyebrows drew together wearily before he turned and carried his suitcase over to the other side of the room. “Move your stuff off the bed. I want mine.” “Take this side,” I went over to the bed closest to me and removed all the clothes that I had dumped on it before I went out to the club. “I prefer to stick c
