Author’s POV Cara heard someone knocking on the door of her room again and her heart sank to the pit of her stomach. She pushed herself more into the corner. This time she didn’t even ask who is outside. She didn’t have courage to do that. She just covered her mouth to muffle her sobs. She doesn’t know who is standing outside and what is she going to get this time. She again heard the knock and she flinched as it was more louder and urgent this time than before. She was about to cover her ears with her palms to block the sound when she heard Chase’s impatient and concerned voice. “Cara, are you in there? It’s me Chase. Open the f**king door Cara” he shouted from outside not caring about the fact that other students might get disturbed by him. Cara released a breath of relief as she wiped her tears. She got up from the floor and walked towards the door on her wobbly legs. Her trembling hand reached to turn the door knob and she opened the door to find a very worried Chase outsi
Author’s POV After leaving Cara in front of her classroom, Chase drove to his boxing club where he teaches boxing. His club even organizes underground fights sometimes when boxers from nearby locations come there to compete against one another. But he does all of this legally. He can mess around with anything but not with his work. And this boxing club is his passion. He reached there and saw his friends are already waiting for him. They strode towards Chase as soon as their eyes fell on him. “What’s wrong? Why do you look so pissed?” John asked. “Do you have to ask? Of course he is worried for Cara after what happened to her last night” George said. “Is there anything else that is bothering you?” John asked ignoring George’s words. ‘Yes I am pissed at myself. I think that I have put her in danger. Everything that had happened to her last night was my fault. Someone did it to her, for getting back at me’ this is what he wants to scream out. So that he can feel a little light
Author’s POV When Chase’s eyes fell on the guy who was holding his Cara in his arms, his blood started boiling. He strode in their direction and pulled her away from the guy, pushing her a little behind himself while making sure that he is not hurting her and standing in front of her. He pushed the guy by his chest as he growled in anger, “Who the f**k are you? And how dare you touch her like this?” The other guy scoffed and took a step closer as he asked in same kind of tone, “And who the f**k are you to ask these questions?” Chase’s jaw clenched. He was already angry upon witnessing the scene in front of his eyes and now this guy was making him lose his mind. Chase was about to do the same thing he does, whenever he feels angry. He raised his hand up and was about to land a solid punch on the guy’s face, when Cara came in front of him, holding his hand in hers. “Calm down Chase, he is not stranger. He is my friend, in fact my best friend” Cara said quickly. Chase’s eyes sof
Author’s POV One month later...Cara came out of the changing room wearing the black dress. Chase who was looking at other dresses turned around when he heard her sandals clicking on the tile floor. His breath got stuck in the back of his throat as his eyes slightly widened upon seeing her wearing the dress, he selected himself. It was a black coloured, A line off shoulder dress. It was fitting her upper body perfectly and was flaring out around her legs, stopping right above her knees. She was wearing black flat sandals. He was still glued to his place. He swallowed hard while admiring the beauty in front of his eyes. He came out of his trance when her soft, hesitant voice fell on his ears. “How is it? Is it looking good on me?” she asked. He released a breath that he didn’t even know he was holding. He walked towards her stopping right in front of her, not even leaving a step’s distance. His left hand went up to tug few strands of her hairs behind her ear as other got wrapped
Author’s POV Cara had tears in her eyes. Fresh tears were continuously flowing from her eyes on her face. Her heart was in pain and it was getting hard for her to endure this amount of pain after going through what happened yesterday. But she still gathered all of her energy and lifted her legs to make her way towards her room. She tried wiping the tears from her face but it didn’t help at all. More fresh tears were still streaming down on her face. As soon as she was out of sight, Chase plopped down on the couch. He ran his hand through his hairs in frustration. After few minutes she came out of her room. He lifted his eyes up to find her walking towards him. He thought she went in her room to gather her luggage but she came out of her room with a first aid kit in her hand. He was staring at her face in confusion. She was still crying, it means she was definitely hurt by his words. But then why isn’t she getting angry at him in return, why isn’t she leaving his house? She sa
Author’s POV “Would you like to hear my story?” she asked and her voice came out just as a whisper. Chase felt her heartbeat increasing to an abnormal level where their bodies were connected, when she mentioned the words ‘my story’. He didn’t say anything for a moment and just rubbed her back with his palm. He placed a soft gentle kiss on her hairs. Slowly her heartbeat became normal. When he felt like that she is okay now, he pulled away a little so that he can stare into her eyes. Her eyes were red and puffy due to all the crying. “I would love to know everything about you Cara, but you don’t have to do it now. We can talk when you are actually ready to share. No need to feel pressured. You know what I mean right?” he said softly. His one hand was wiping her tear stained face and another one was drawing soft soothing circles on her back. She smiled at his words, “I know I don’t have to but I really want to share everything with you. And I think that if I didn’t do it today, I
Author’s POV By the end she was done talking, Cara was crying bitterly in his arms. Going through those petrifying memories was difficult for her. This is the reason why she is scared of offending people. The moment when she offended her adoptive father by calling him bad, still horrifies her. This is the reason why she wanted to apologize to Chase in the beginning when she used to think that she made him think that he is a monster. Because she knew the pain of being called what you are not. She remembers when her father, James used to blame her for her mother’s death, calling her by different names. She didn’t know the meaning of those words when she was young but as she grew up, she understood what all those words meant and it hurt her. That is why she didn’t want Chase to think that he is a monster who scares her. And now she knows for sure that he is not a monster, he never was. At least not to her. He was like her protector who saved her whenever she needed help. His ways
Author’s POV Cara turned around to find his intense gaze stuck on her which caused her heart to pound against her chest. Chase was trying so damn hard to control himself but when she turned around and his gray eyes met with her blue ones, it was his undoing. He strode towards her and captured her lips in a hot kiss, taking her by surprise. His hands slid around her lower back, pulling her in closer so her soft body was pressed against the length of his hard one. Cara closed her eyes and slid her hands up to wrap her arms around his neck, kissing him back with the same passion. He was devouring her mouth with a kind of hunger, he never had before for anyone except for Cara. He wrapped his arms around her waist and hoisted her up placing her on the kitchen counter. She gasped in surprise, breaking the kiss for the moment but he again covered the gap bringing their mouths together. He stepped between her legs as his one hand got tangled in her silky brown locks and another one wa
