Nova’s point of view

I blinked.."Oh…Sorry."

He laughed softly.."It's okay." He rubbed his palms together.."Yesterday...".He paused.."...was another of the best nights I've had in a long time."

My heartbeat skipped.

"And...I don't want us to just pretend nothing happened.".He took a slow breath.."We've both had a lot on our minds, and I think...this is probably the best time to clear everything up."

I nodded slowly.."Okay."

He opened his mouth.."I know you said you don't believe in…."

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Emergency call!

    Reed's point of view I answered on the second ring. "Reed!" Her voice cracked and every muscle in my body locked instantly."Where are you?" she cried. "You need to come home. Right now."I sat upright. "What happened?" My own voice barely sounded like mine. There was a shaky breath on the other end, then…"Your father..." My heart stopped. "He suffered a cardiac arrest this afternoon."The words echoed inside my skull. "...What?""The doctors..." she continued between sobs, "...the doctors don't think he has more than twenty four hours."My grip tightened around the phone. "He has called an emergency family meeting. I've already arranged everything." Her words came fast, almost desperate. "I contacted your pilot, the jet is waiting for you. All you have to do is drive to the airport."I shook my head repeatedly, this didn't make sense. "I spoke to him this morning." My voice cracked. "He sounded fine. I even spoke to Dr. Harris yesterday, he said Dad was improving. So where the hell

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Another death call

    Reed's point of view "Fuck.” My fist crashed against the steering wheel, the horn blared through the empty parking lot. I hit it again and again, yet the pain blooming across my knuckles barely registered.Breathe, a voice inside my head whispered and I sucked in a slow breath through my nose, held it and released it."It wasn't Damon's fault." I repeated the words under my breath. He didn't know Nova was my girlfriend and it was just a fucking game…but why couldn't I get the thought out of my head? Why did every replay make my chest tighten a little more?I slammed both palms against the steering wheel, the sound echoed inside the car as my breathing turned ragged; I should've told him, the second Nova agreed to be with me. I should've looked my best friend in the eye and said, "She's my girl."I leaned my forehead against the wheel and squeezed my eyes shut."This ends today."I shoved the car door open hard enough for it to bounce on its hinges before stepping out. By the time I

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    My delicious meal

    Nova's point of view I almost scoffed. Walk away? Who walks out on a delicious meal…especially when it's your favorite? My eyes lifted to Reed again, he had that bad boy’s smirk on his lips and I knew he was as ready as I was. I exhaled, shook my head and slowly stood up; “I'm never going to participate in any kind of games with you all again in my lifetime. You all are dirty souls, who need divine cleansing.”Elsa laughed; “Accepted, worry not, we would be pouring out our hearts in confession rooms on Sunday.”The others laughed loudly, except Damon and Sarah. Reed stood up, with just a turn, he was walking towards the closed room.Butterflies filled my stomach. Oh God! This is really happening! I turned to Elsa, “I can't believe we are doing this!”Damon raised his hand as if trying to stop me, “It's just a game,” Elsa said, and his fists clenched. I took two quick steps towards the room, opened the door and almost cried in delight as the door shut behind me.***********"Reed..

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    Kissed by my boyfriend's best friend!

    Nova's point of view “WHAT!!!” The room exploded into cheers and whistles. Laughter echoed off the walls.Damon stood immediately, smoothing imaginary wrinkles from his shirt. "No problem." His eyes fixed on me and a small smile tugged at his lips."No!" I blurted, shooting to my feet. "I'm not doing anything like that." I pointed between Sarah and Damon. "How exactly did I become part of his dare? Isn't he supposed to suffer? Why am I suddenly being punished?"Sarah laughed so hard she nearly bent over. "Exactly! That's why it's funny."I reached for the bottle. "I'm drinking."Jason caught my wrist before I could touch it and smoothly took the bottle away. "No, you're not."I frowned. "What do you mean, I'm not?""It's Damon's dare," he said matter-of-factly. "If anyone gets to reject it, it's Damon. You don't get to drink your way out of someone else's punishment."More laughter followed, I slowly turned toward Damon. "Damon... please, pick someone else, I don't….”He smiled. "No.

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    The kiss dare!

    Nova's point of view Reed took my hand, his fingers tugging a stranded hair behind my ears. His lips parted, at first, nothing came out, then a silent sigh.“Reed,” My voice almost pleaded with him. His eyes raised up to mine, there was no mischief anymore, just a dull ache behind them.“You know I would never do anything to hurt you. I love you too much to want to deliberately cause pain to you.” He paused, and for unknown reasons, my heart began to pound heavily. He must have noticed, because instead of continuing, he raised his lips to my forehead and planted a soft kiss, our foreheads joined together in perfect harmony; “Can't we just enjoy this moment and forget about anything else?”I pulled back, shaking my head. "I need to know where all this money came from. The house Elsa sold couldn't possibly pay for all this."A dull smile appeared on his face; "You're overestimating the cost.""I'm underestimating nothing." I pointed toward the hallway. "The artwork downstairs alone is

  • The Wife They Tried To Bury    This is fucking too much!

    Nova's point of view The way our cars moved as a convoy could have made a bitter person collapse. God! We were like some government delegation headed for an international summit.Elsa led the way, behind her was Jason with three members of the senior team squeezed into his SUV, then came Damon's sleek black sedan. Sarah's little convertible bounced behind him, I drove next, and right behind me...was Reed.I glanced at my rearview mirror for what had to be the tenth time. His headlights stayed exactly the same distance behind mine.A smile escaped before I could stop it, my heart bursting with so many emotions I couldn't name. The traffic light ahead turned red, one after another, our cars rolled to a stop. The silence lasted exactly three seconds, then!"HONK!" Jason's car blasted. Sarah's horn answered. "HONK! HONK!" Damon joined in before I could even process what they were doing! "HOOOOONK!" Elsa's honk was the loudest, then Reed's horn joined the orchestra in one long, shameless

    Nova's point of view “You really should be ashamed of yourself, Nova.” Margaret’s voice sliced through the air before I could even react to the pain on my cheek.“Sleeping outside your husband’s house and coming back looking like…” she paused, her lips curling in disgust, “this….a filthy trash!”T

    Nova's point of view The door of his sitting room barely clicked shut before his mouth crashed down on mine, kissing, biting and nibbling on my lips. He kissed like he’d invented it. And I followed his lead like I had no choice in the matter. He dragged his mouth away from mine, swore as he turne

    Nova's point of view I sat across from the doctor, barely hearing him. My fingers dug into the edge of the chair, my heartbeat loud enough to drown everything around me.“Mrs Nova? Are you listening to me?” The doctor’s calm voice sliced through the fog that clouded my brain.I shook my head, swal

    Nova's point of view My fingers trembled slightly as I adjusted the lace that clung against my thighs. I held my breath, listening to the soft ticking of the clock echoing through the dim room. “Nova, you’ve got this,” I whispered to myself, pressing my palm against my chest trying to steady the
