CASSIE STONE P.O.V
All three pairs of eyes shot towards me. I really didn’t want to interrupt them, but I had to get home. Today was Wednesday and every Wednesday, my parents and I would have a video call. A phone call was never enough for them. They wanted to see for their own eyes, that I was okay.
Me being away from home was hard enough for them. Especially my little brother Adam. I love that brat to bits and pieces. Now that I’m not home, my parents shower him with extra attention, and the last time I spoke to him, he said he loved it. I laughed when he told me that he loved how he was getting spoiled.
This zoom call may not seem like a big deal to most, but I promised my parents that I would call them at 6:30 pm every Wednesday. My last class finished at 4:30 pm, Mikey and I got to his house around 5:30 pm after he kidnapped me while I was eating my meal, and it’s almost 6:30 pm.
I didn’t realize how quick

MIKEY COLLIN P.O.VWalking down the hallway to the door. I’m eager to hear what this stubborn angel before me thinks of my grandmother and mother. “So, what do you think?” I ask. She looked at me lost before it took her a second to realize what I was talking about, “I think they’re great.”Getting to the front door, I open it for her. Finding what she said, I ask, “Really?”She walks out, looking at me from over her shoulder as I follow her. “You don’t think I’m telling the truth?”Usually, people would describe those two women as overwhelming, overbearing, and always oversharing. “I think you’re very good at finding the nicest way to phrase an answer about someone with bad habits,” I looked at her knowingly.“That’s nice, but I don’t think that’s true,” replied Cassie. She

MIKEY COLLIN P.O.VShe doesn’t say anything.“I’m growing on you,” I said knowingly. I know it’s true. I drop the teasing look on my face.Like a predator approaching its prey, I step closer to her, and she automatically takes a step away.“I’m going to ruin all men for you, Cassie.” I look at her with promise and a look that shows I’m being serious, “and that’s a fact.”I watch as her eyes widen, but she doesn’t say anything. She can see that I’m not playing around anymore. It doesn’t escape my attention that her breathing gets quicker. I watch as her eyes stray to my lips. She licks her own, and I groan with frustration. This woman is so beautiful and I’m trying to hold myself back from devouring her.“Don’t do that,” I growled.I’m holding on by a thread. “Don&rsquo

MIKEY COLLIN P.O.VMy hand gripped the phone in my hands. I took a peek at Cassie to see if she heard what Matthew asked. She wasn’t looking my way and was looking out her window instead. I wouldn’t be surprised if she heard, but I really hope she didn’t.Turning my head away from Cassie. “That is none of your business if I am or not,” I replied to the idiot on the phone. For someone that thinks of love as a bad word, I’m surprised he even said it.“Someone’s being defensive,” sang Matthew. My hands gripped the phone tighter. If I squeezed it any tighter, then it would break. I know I was, but obviously, I’m not going to admit that.“No, I’m not,” I lied.“That’s exactly what a person feeling defensive would say,” Matthew pointed out.I really wish I could jump through this phone and smash his fa

CASSIE STONE P.O.VThis guy just won’t give up. I don’t know if he’s lying and I’m afraid of believing him. Once I give in, I’m a goner. I can’t remember a time when he did. He didn’t lie when he told me who he was. Then again, if I was a rich CEO like him, I wouldn’t lie either.“As far as I know, you haven’t,” I said looking up from the ground. “Yet,” I added.I looked around us and noticed the many eyes watching us. Students stopped and were watching us with both the extreme amount of interest. Jealously was shot my way, but those were by the women. If looks could kill, I would be dead.He leaned down towards me and with his index finger turned my head to him; drawing my attention back to him. If he took one more step towards me, his lips would be touching mine. “I know winning you over won’t be easy, but tell me what I can do to

MIKEY COLLIN P.O.VI’m still standing in my spot, after watching her walk away with hurt on her face. She was trying to hide it, but I could see it. The thing is, I don’t understand why she is feeling that way.Was it something I said?If it wasn’t for her friend, I would have figured out what made her feel that way. My time with Cassie was interrupted so many times. By my mother, nanna, Matthew, and now her friend.I groaned and drag my hand down on my face. Silas looked at me with an unpleased look. An expression, I doubt he realized was showing on his face.“Did you see that?” I asked with a disbelieving look. I shook my head, “One moment we were okay, the next moment, she looks at me like I broke destroyed her world.”Silas, look hesitant to reply.“What Silas?” I asked, feeling impatient.Silas cleared his throat, “I believe it was what y

MIKEY COLLIN P.O.VThroughout the whole drive, I tried to think of the many ways I could clear up the misunderstanding that Cassie has of me.“We’re here sir,” said Silas, pulling the car to a halt. He stepped out of the car and quickly opened the door for me.I get out of the car and saw Stella, who was Matthews P.A walking toward me. If he had someone already waiting for me, he must have known I was coming.That arrogant man.She approached me with those aquamarine eyes and naturally plump lips that were throwing a seductive smile. Her pixie-cut hair worked for her and highlighted her features.It was what drew men to her. Stella slept with any man that had her seeing dollar signs. I wasn’t an idiot. This woman was looking for a man who would pay for the luxurious life she was dreaming for. Matthew knew that too; which was why he kept her around, but not close enough for he

MIKEY COLLIN P.O.V“Tell me about this woman,” Matthew ordered. “She must be quite the lay if she brings Mikey Collins to his knees.”Something in me felt a tick when he spoke of her as if she was an easy woman. Cassie isn’t like that. If he wasn’t my best friend, I would have punched this man in the jaw and drag his face against the floor.“Talk about her like she’s an easy woman one more time and I will snap your neck.” I seethed.Unfazed by my threat, Matthew replied with a grin, “Well, well, well.” His interest peaked, “This is entertaining.” He leaned back to get comfortable in his chair. “I have never seen you act this hostile over a woman.” He ordered as if it was necessary, “I want to meet her.”I shut that idea downrealquick.

I was extremely excited to come to the craft fair, once I saw the pink posted flyer at school. I usually never pay attention to the board filled with a massive number of colorful flyers in the compound at the local community college I attend, but it seemed like it would be fun to attend. Which ithasbeen so far until I made the mistake of wanting to get my portrait painted. I knew it would belong, but I didn’t realize howlongit would take. This woman could easily take my picture and paint me using that, butno.It was better to paint a portrait of me when I’m here in person, instead of painting me, using a picture on her phone.
