Nate brushed a few strands of hair from Amelia’s face. She was sleeping peacefully. He should’ve left already, but something inside of him told him to stay.
“Hmm…Nate,” Amelia whispered in her sleep and smiled. Nate’s heart started to pound against his chest. Was she dreaming about him? Just the thought itself made him happier than it should have. He avoided falling for a girl for the longest time, but it was getting harder and harder with Amelia. He had to leave and clear his head.
“Nate! Hey,” Amelia called to him at school the next day.
“Hey Ame,” Nate said, suddenly feeling nervous.
She smiled and hugged him. “Thank you for taking care of me again last night. You didn’t have to stay, you know. But I was glad you did.”
“I wanted to,” he said.

Nate was angry and frustrated. His father treated him more like a tool than a son. He was tired of being used. But there was nothing he could do about it. If he left, his father would find him, and he’d be in even bigger trouble. He had to be patient.He prepared for the show later that night. His father brought an expensive suit for him to wear. It wasn’t his style, but he posed as Alex tonight, who was all about flashy clothes. It wasn’t the first time he had to take Alex’s place. He knew how to act like him. They were twins, after all.He arrived at the show in a few minutes and looked around the building. There were a handful of people walking around looking at the paintings. He felt awkward and out of place. What did his father expect him to do here anyway?“You are Alexander Wolf, aren’t you?” A tall guy with a beard suddenly spoke to him. He was wearing clothes th
Amelia felt excited about going to the art show tonight. She had been waiting to go for weeks. She wanted to invite Nate and make him go with her but decided against it. She knew it wasn’t his thing. Besides, things have been a little weird since they slept together, and she didn’t want to make it worse by asking him out on a date.She knew she had to act cool because Nate wasn’t the type of guy who easily admitted his feelings. She pretended it was okay to go back to being friends, but she wished things were different deep down. At the same time, she was glad he didn’t want her as a girlfriend. With her condition, she knew she could die any day. The last thing she needed was to get involved with someone.She wore an elegant floor-length gown with an open back. She tied her thick wavy hair into a braided bun. This was a fancy event which she could never afford on her own, but her aunt was sweet enough to send he
“Alexander Wolf, we meet again,” the stranger said.“Um…hi,” Nate said. He didn’t have a single clue who this man was.“What, you don’t recognize me, do you? Of course, you don’t. Well, take a good look at the man whose business you and your father are trying to destroy,” the man said.“Sorry, I really don’t know who you are,” Nate was telling the truth since he never associated with anyone that Alex knew.“No matter, maybe this will remind you,” the man took a knife out, which glinted under the moonlight. “I prefer to shoot, but I figured it would be quieter to slash your throat,” the man said and charged at him.Nate moved quickly. He may not have as much experience as Alex to tackle these types of situations, but he was not weak. His father trained him to defen
“I’m mad at you,” Amelia announced the next day.“Huh? Why?” Nate was confused.“You said the sex in the cabin was the last time, and we were going to go back to being just friends. But last night, you practically ravaged me in that closet and almost got us caught by my mom,” she said.“You weren’t so mad when I put my dick in your…..” Amelia slapped her hand on Nate’s mouth so he couldn’t finish his sentence.“Shut up, you jerk! You want the whole school to know about it?” she exclaimed.Nate burst out laughing.“I just don’t want things to get confusing between us,” Amelia said.“What’s there to get confused about? We are friends, who like to fuck sometimes,” Nate shrugged.
“I need to talk to you,” Destiny said.“We have nothing more to talk about. You’ve said everything you wanted to say a year ago,” Nate said.“That’s not true. Please can I come in?” she pleaded.Nate sighed and let her in. Part of him wanted to slam the door shut, but he couldn’t do it. He needed to be strong and not petty.“Follow me,” he said and led her to the pool area. He sat down on the patio chair and motioned her to sit down in front of him.“Now talk,” he said.She took a deep breath and exhaled. “I made a mistake,” she said. “I should’ve never left you.”“Left me? In case you forgot, you cheated on me. With my own twin brother,” Nate scoffed. “And it was no mistake. You knew exactly w
Amelia was starting to worry. She texted Nate hours ago, but he didn’t reply. Was he mad at her? Maybe she was too emotional and scared him off. Stupid Ame.She decided to call him instead. He can’t ignore her forever because she won’t let him!To her surprise, he answered right away.“Why won’t you text me back?” she asked before he had the chance to say hello.“Wow, needy much?” Nate laughed.“Yes, I’m needy, and I need you not to ghost me,” she said quickly.“I’m hardly ghosting you. It has only been a few hours, and you aren’t my mom or my girlfriend,” he said in an amused tone.“I know, I’m just the girl you like to have sex with. Don’t remind me,” A
After school, he offered to take her home again. This time, Amelia didn’t argue with him and walked to the car. His smile vanished as he saw Destiny standing by his car. What now?“What are you doing in my school?” he asked. “Are you stalking me now?” Nate was irritated beyond belief.Destiny threw her arms around him and pulled him into a hug. Nate moved quickly and took her arms off of him. He is not going to be swayed by her easily this time.“I came to see you, silly! I was hoping we could spend some time together,” she said.“As you can see, I’m busy,” Nate said and motioned to Amelia.Destiny finally noticed Amelia standing there. Her face twisted into a frown.“Who is she, Nate?” she asked. Her eyes started to glow with jealousy.“She
“Errm….hey Amelia,” Nate said nervously. He had never seen her so angry. The usual cheerful glow in her big brown eyes was replaced by rage-fueled fire. Nate was scared.“Don’t you ‘hey Amelia’ me you turd muffin! What do you think you are doing?” she roared.“It’s not what you thin….” Nate started to explain, but Destiny cut him off.“That’s none of your business. It’s between Nate and me,” Destiny said.“He is my best friend, and I am making it my business,” Amelia said and glared at her.“Excuse me? Who the fuck are you? You are nothing but a friend. I am his girlfriend!” Destiny announced.“Ex-girlfriend. And you are nothing but a SKANK who broke his heart to sleep with his look-alike,” Amelia cou
